Chapter 385: Candle Dragon! A Time-Attribute Dragon Species?

Within a special secret realm, several tall buildings stood.

The modern facilities clearly indicated that this was no ordinary secret realm.

Indeed, it was a unique department within the Dragon Kingdom, serving as the office for a highly specialized division.

Even among the upper echelons of the Dragon Kingdom, this department held a position of considerable power and influence.

It was a lucrative position, but everything came at a cost. The danger associated with this department was significantly higher than that of others.

Especially in the past two years, the eagerness of the Beastmaster Association to join whenever there was a call for deployment had gradually cooled down. This was because the number of casualties within this department had been alarmingly high.

This place was no ordinary location; it was the Heavensight Bureau.

It was also known as the Secret Realm Surveillance Corps, or the Infernal Pen.

Huang Tianbing sat on the sofa in the office, his eyes having just closed less than twenty minutes ago, now reopening.

Even though the sky outside had brightened, Huang Tianbing, a monarch-level Beastmaster, couldn't help but feel tired after working for several days without rest.

However, it was clear that whoever entered at this moment would not bring good news.

Indeed, that was the case.

"Boss, there's another secret realm with extremely unstable energy in Xiliang Province. It's just a monarch-level secret realm, but after entering, all the resources, remaining beasts, and inheritances were destroyed by the energy tide!"

"Not only did we not gain anything, but we also lost one official member and three temporary members..."

Huang Tianbing's vision darkened again, and he rubbed his temples in frustration. Ever since the New Year, it seemed like there had been no good news.

The Heavensight Bureau used to be an undeniably lucrative position, but now, even the high yields from secret realms were gone. What could he offer to persuade his Beastmasters to enter those dangerous secret realms?

However, the issue of manpower was only one aspect. What truly troubled Huang Tianbing were these damnable secret realms themselves.

The extreme instability of spatial energy caused the energy within the secret realms to be highly volatile, easily affecting the outside world.

Therefore, the issue of the secret realms also needed to be resolved quickly.

Deputy Minister Lin, looking equally exhausted, arrived.

"Boss, has there been any reinforcement from above? Not to mention anything else, but the Space Shattering Device..."

Huang Tianbing shook his head. "Each Space Shattering Device is comparable to a monarch-level resource. It's a specialized mechanical weapon targeting space, and even those above us can't easily obtain one."

Deputy Minister Lin sighed. "Huaiyang, Jianghai, during the last strange secret realm opening in the Crumbling Stone Mountains, we lost most of our manpower. We're already short-staffed.

At the same time, Minyue, Xiliang, Ximo, and Beiyuan Provinces are also facing manpower shortages, which is causing some trouble..."

"Besides these, there's the Starry Secret Realm on Dragon Tooth Island in the East Sea, the newly discovered Rainbow Light Secret Realm in Xiliang, and the Thunder Pool Secret Realm in Beiyuan..."

"Enough, enough!" Huang Tianbing quickly waved his hand, feeling his teeth ache if this guy continued. "I'll think of a way. If all else fails, I'll just stay at the Mechanical Association and refuse to leave!"

Huang Tianbing stood up, determined to seek help from the Mechanical Association.

However, Deputy Minister Lin, standing before him, thought for a moment and said, "Boss, didn't we have an external member during the last inspection on Yanzhun Island?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Tianbing paused, then looked at Deputy Minister Lin without saying a word.

"Old Lin, haven't you been watching the news livestream?"

Deputy Minister Lin asked with a hint of challenge, "Do you have time to watch livestreams?"

Huang Tianbing felt a bit embarrassed and rubbed his nose. Then, he waved his hand without saying a word, "In any case, that person is not someone I can command at will. I can only ask when I have the time. It's impossible to have them running around at my every beck and call."

Huang Tianbing had indeed thought of Su Ping, and he knew that Su Ping had arrived in the Imperial Capital.

However, as he said, the Heavensight Bureau's work was unique, and he didn't want to have too much contact with the Holy Spirit-level Beastmasters, as it could easily lead to trouble.

The initial relationship between Su Ping, Sang Sheng, and Ghost Sage was too close for comfort regarding the Heavensight Bureau's work.

Damn it!

Why couldn't the one who could absorb space power and had such a special space attribute be an ordinary member of the Heavensight Bureau?

This person had such talent in cultivation, yet they also possessed such a unique space attribute. It was enough to make anyone envious, jealous, and hateful!

However, as Deputy Minister Lin saw it, if the Space Shattering Device hadn't arrived yet, he had no choice but to seek Su Ping for help.

He could only hope that those guys obsessed with steel and electromagnetism would do him a favor.

Huang Tianbing sighed.

...

At this moment, Su Ping, who Huang Tianbing had been thinking about, was unaware that after such a long time without contact, Huang Tianbing, the Inspector of the Heavensight Bureau, was almost at the point of nagging him to death.

Su Ping stood on a street, gazing at the verdant grass and trees reflecting the morning sun's rays like emeralds. He turned around and saw pedestrians walking outside the neighborhood and vehicles passing by. However, the neighborhood was eerily quiet, as if it were a path leading to the unknown.

Su Ping knew that just before stepping onto this street, he had seen people walking on it, but now, as he took a step forward, everything changed. Strangely, even the passersby who saw Su Ping and Zhu Hong's odd behavior showed no intention of entering the street.

This street seemed to exist between reality and illusion, between existence and non-existence.

"Is this Dragon City?" Su Ping muttered to himself.

Zhu Hong smiled slightly. "Not yet, but ahead lies the entrance to Dragon City."

At the end of the road, a ceremonial railing stood, separating reality from illusion and perfectly blending the Imperial Capital with Dragon City.

Su Ping nodded, following Zhu Hong without speaking. With each step, the illusion behind them faded into the mist. However, when he turned back to look, he could still see clearly.

Finally, they reached the dividing railing.

The Dragon Emblem on Su Ping's chest glowed faintly, and a faint dragon's roar sounded as the railing slowly rose.

The two stepped into the city.

"Su Ping, welcome to Dragon City!" Zhu Hong smiled and greeted, but Su Ping had already turned his gaze to the massive world behind Zhu Hong.

This was indeed a city, but not in the conventional sense. Everything here defied the common sense and rules of reality, making it highly abstract.

For instance, a huge pavilion floated in the sky not far from Su Ping. And although Su Ping remembered the street behind him when he arrived, when he turned around, the street had disappeared, replaced by a vast river.

The river flowed just below them, but the water seemed to emerge from the ground without any riverbanks, flowing only in one direction.

This was a peculiar place, even in dreams.

"Is this a secret realm?" Su Ping asked, his feet already on the ground.

Zhu Hong smiled slightly, about to speak, but a voice answered Su Ping even before he could:

"No, this is a whole new world!"

The voice sounded aged at first, but after the first word, each subsequent word was spoken in a different tone, sometimes male, sometimes female, sometimes old, and sometimes young.

It was hard to imagine such a voice coming from a living being and not an AI or mechanical synthesis.

But that was the case.

Su Ping turned around in bewilderment, and as he did, his skin crawled.

What kind of being was this? It had dark red sideburns, a pair of antlers like a deer's, one black and one white, and two completely different eyes, one black and one white, matching the antlers. Its face resembled those of the dragon race, but at first glance, it was entirely different.

Between the dragon horns on its forehead, a small flame flickered.

This face, however, resembled a human's.

Its body was even more peculiar. Su Ping saw a human body with a torso and limbs beneath the head, but as his gaze moved past the body, he saw another strange dragon-like body connected to the half-human, half-dragon head.

What the hell was this thing? If Su Ping hadn't been so accepting and hadn't been strengthened by the Sky Tomb Mark these past few days, his sanity would have taken a hit.

A head that was neither human nor dragon.

A body that seemed to be both human and dragon.

Was this a Dragon City dragon?

What kind of dragon could look like this? Su Ping pursed his lips and turned to Zhu Hong.

However, Zhu Hong's smile remained unchanged. After hearing Su Ping's question, he nodded: "This is indeed a very special secret realm. At the very least, I've never seen a secret realm that can compare to Dragon City."

Su Ping blinked, looking at Zhu Hong with a strange gaze, then glanced at the peculiar old dragon not far away.

Although Master Zhu was not young, it was unlikely that he couldn't hear such a clear voice, right?

Moreover, if he couldn't hear, it didn't make sense for him to wait until the old dragon finished speaking before responding.

Shouldn't he have spoken up first? So, Su Ping tentatively looked at Zhu Hong:

"Master Zhu, can't you see or hear?"

Zhu Hong looked at him with a dazed expression:

"What are you talking about, kid? Alright, you have the Dragon Emblem in Dragon City, and you can come and go freely. You can take your time to study the specific layout and distribution later. For now, let's go and meet the Holy Dragon Sir first."

"But..."

Su Ping looked at the peculiar creature with a reddish-brown dragon head standing beside him, smiling slyly, and for a moment, he was at a loss for words.

However, just at that moment, a familiar resigned voice rang out:

"Zhu Hong, you go and take care of your business, Su Ping will come to me."

As the voice fell, Su Ping felt the world around him shift, and everything in front of him rapidly retreated. His figure flew backward involuntarily, and by the time he regained his senses, he had already appeared on a building in the sky.

Everything he had just experienced felt like a dream.

Nevertheless, when he turned his head, the peculiar figure with a red dragon head, whose identity as a person or dragon was unclear, was still smiling sweetly beside him.

Su Ping's eyelid twitched slightly, and he finally looked towards the figure that had appeared in his field of vision, quickly saying:

"Greetings, Holy Dragon Sir! And greetings to you too, Sir!"

The Holy Dragon Legend was an unassuming man.

Even his appearance was just that of an ordinary man in his thirties.

Now that Su Ping was finally meeting him while fully conscious, his emotions were truly stirred.

"Su Ping, we finally meet! You have truly exceeded my expectations!"

The man smiled calmly:

"You actually managed to resist the influence of the Sky Tomb Mark!"

Su Ping's eyelid twitched, and he was somewhat surprised that the man had figured it out with just a glance. However, soon after, he looked at the smiling peculiar old dragon beside him.

As expected, the man turned to the other party:

"You're also a bit too hasty. Never mind, Su Ping, I'll introduce him to you."

The man pointed at the peculiar old dragon and said:

"This is Candle Elder, as you can see, he is also a Dragon, but he's a bit different from the other Dragons. Elder Zhu is the only Dragon in the entire Dragon City who truly possesses the Time Attribute.

At the same time, he is also the most senior Dragon King in Dragon City. As for his realm, he is at the Mythical Ninth Rank."

With these words, Su Ping's mouth hung open, and he looked at the peculiar old dragon with two bodies but only one head in disbelief.

Time Attribute Dragon? Mythical Ninth Rank?

Could it be that Dragon City still has such a high-ranking Mythical Dragon King?

Moreover, Zhu? Zhu Long?

Isn't this one of those legendary beings from ancient myths and legends?

Apparently satisfied with Su Ping's astonishment, the old dragon chuckled:

"Little guy, your future is very interesting! How about sharing some personal information so I can predict your future? I'm very skilled at this!"

Su Ping's pupils contracted again.

Among all attribute companions, he was most wary of the Time Attribute.

Indeed, it was too mysterious and bizarre.

Even though companions with this attribute were extremely rare, each one had unique abilities.

And now, a companion that had reached the Mythical Rank in the Time Attribute, and it was also a Dragon. One could only imagine how powerful its abilities were.

Could it see his future? Even so, Su Ping still felt it was unbelievable.

However, the man didn't seem to mind Su Ping's astonishment. After a pause, he continued:

"I know you have countless questions and doubts in your heart that you want to ask me. We can change locations later, and since Elder Zhu has taken the initiative to approach you, let's talk about his matter first."

The man didn't speak further, but the Ghost Dragon used his human-like dragon face to say:

"I already know about Dragon City's affairs, and this little one is in high demand! But there's no rush for those little ones' matters, not even the mechanical dragon that's being researched with great enthusiasm.

I have a very special Dragon species companion beast here. Are you interested?"

Su Ping opened his mouth, but before he could ask, the old dragon already understood what he wanted to say and spoke:

"That's right, it's a Time Attribute Dragon! And I can assure you, in all of Dragon City, including me, including Ah Xuan's Holy Dragon, and even the mechanical dragon given to you, none of them are as special as this Dragon species! Not only in Dragon City, but even in Blue Star, this is absolutely the most special companion beast species! Moreover, it's definitely a Time Attribute Dragon species!"

Su Ping licked the corner of his mouth.

The temptation of a Time Attribute Dragon was indeed hard to refuse.
