Chapter 1333: Chapter 730 Water Dragon_2 Chapter 1333: Chapter 730 Water Dragon_2 Elder Logan felt a warm current surge through his heart upon hearing those words. He patted Elder Talon Skyler on the shoulder and chuckled, “Brother Talon Skyler, aren't you the same? Whenever I face difficulties, you are always the first to stand up and guide me with your wisdom and courage. With you by my side, I feel like there is nothing we can't overcome.”
The two exchanged a smile, their mutual understanding and trust evident in their eyes. They continued their conversation, sharing stories and insights with each other. Elder Talon Skyler recounted an adventure from his youth when he had ventured alone deep behind enemy lines, using his wit and courage to successfully gather crucial intelligence. Elder Logan shared how he had led his people through a clan crisis, collectively resisting external enemies and ultimately safeguarding their homeland's peace.
Inside the station, the flickering firelight illuminated their resolute faces. The outside world was filled with unknowns and dangers, but in this small station, they had found each other's support and warmth. The inner warmth, like hot tea on a winter's day, not only warmed their bodies but also nourished their souls.
“Brother Talon Skyler, do you think our future path will continue to be as difficult as it is now?” Elder Logan suddenly asked, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.
Elder Talon Skyler pondered for a moment, then shook his head firmly, “Brother Logan, the path ahead may be even more challenging, but as long as we advance together, nothing can stop our progress. We are elders, the hope of our clan; we must be strong, we must be brave.”
Upon hearing this, a flicker of determination crossed Elder Logan's eyes, “You're right, Brother Talon Skyler. No matter how many difficulties and challenges we may face in the future, I will stand by your side and fight until the end.”
The two exchanged another smile, their firm belief and deep friendship taking root in their hearts. They knew that no matter how difficult the road ahead was, nothing could defeat them as long as they were together. In this station filled with unknowns and dangers, they had found each other's support and warmth, as well as the strength and courage to keep moving forward.
Having spoken, Elder Talon Skyler's brow furrowed deeply, the wrinkles as if carved with a chisel, firmly etched across his forehead. His gaze grew exceedingly heavy, like an invisible mountain weighing down on his heart, making his breathing labored. Each breath seemed to drain his strength, while exhaling only a dull aura.
His eyes flickered with anxiety and confusion, the uncertainty about the future overshadowing his spirit like dark clouds. He clenched his fists tightly, his nails almost digging into his palms, yet seemingly unable to dispel the unease in his heart. His fingers whitened from the strain, and his knuckles even let out a slight crack.
“Elder Logan,” Elder Talon Skyler's voice was deep and tremulous, each word seemingly squeezed through clenched teeth with indescribable heaviness, “what should we do now? These Demon Soldiers clearly suspect us, their gaze as sharp as knives, as if they can see through the disguise we've meticulously prepared.”
Upon hearing this, Elder Logan's expression also turned solemn. He walked over to Elder Talon Skyler's side and gently patted his shoulder, trying to offer some comfort. “Brother Talon Skyler, don't be too nervous. Since we've come this far, we can't give up easily. Although our disguise might have some flaws, as long as we remain calm and reveal no flaws, it will be hard for them to discover our true identities.”
Elder Talon Skyler shook his head, the anxiety in his eyes not dissipating. “But, Brother Logan, you don't understand. These Demon Soldiers are unlike any we've faced before; they seem to have undergone special training, their attention to detail is beyond imagination. I worry that our every move is under their surveillance, and any slight carelessness will expose us entirely.”
Elder Logan pondered for a moment, then slowly began, “Brother Talon Skyler, you are right. These Demon Soldiers are not to be underestimated. However, we can't just surrender because of this. We must find a way to divert their attention or create some chaos, giving us a chance to escape.”
Elder Talon Skyler's eyes gleamed with a flicker of hope as he tightly grasped Elder Logan's hand, “Brother Logan, do you have a specific plan? We are running out of time and must act quickly.”
Elder Logan nodded, his gaze turning resolute, “I have an idea. We can take advantage of the chaos at the station, create some noise or firelight, and draw the attention of the Demon Soldiers. Then, we can escape in the opposite direction. Although it's risky, it's our only option.”
Hearing this, Elder Talon Skyler's eyes showed a flash of determination, “Good! Brother Logan, let's proceed with your plan. We can't hesitate any longer–we must act quickly. No matter the outcome, we have to give it our all.”
The two exchanged a look, seeing the firmness and resolve in each other's eyes. They knew that this moment's decision would determine their fate. Thus, they quietly began to prepare, waiting for the perfect opportunity to arise. Meanwhile, the atmosphere inside the station grew tenser, as if a storm were about to arrive.
After listening to Elder Talon Skyler, Elder Logan's expression grew even more solemn, his brows furrowed as if they could trap a drifting breeze. His gaze was profound like a deep pool, quietly settling all thoughts and worries, yet seeming to pierce through the fog before them, envisioning a distant and unknown future. His eyes flickered with complex lights under the reflection of the fire, acknowledging the depth of their current predicament and faced the unknown challenges resolutely.
“Elder Talon Skyler, what you have said is all too known to me,” Elder Logan's voice was low and powerful, each word appearing well-considered, “I have also heard that a formidable Lord Dragon has arrived at the City Lord's Mansion. His arrival undoubtedly worsens our dangerous situation. We are like candles in the wind, at any moment ready to be extinguished.”
Elder Talon Skyler sighed, his eyes flashing with a hint of helplessness, “Yes, Brother Logan. The power of this Lord Dragon is said to be unfathomable. His presence is like an insurmountable mountain lying before us. And us, we are like trapped in an invisible net woven by the Demon Race, unable to find an exit or free ourselves.”
Elder Logan stayed silent for a moment, his gaze slightly trembling under the firelight, as if pondering something. Then, he slowly began, “Elder Talon Skyler, do you know why I am not afraid?”
Elder Talon Skyler was stunned for a moment, looking at Elder Logan with curiosity, waiting for his elaboration.
Elder Logan continued, “Because we are not fighting alone. We share common beliefs, and we have each other's support. Within this invisible net, we might not find an exit, but we can join hands and, with our wisdom and courage, carve a path of survival.”
Hearing this, Elder Talon Skyler's eyes lit up, and he tightly grasped Elder Logan's hand, “Brother Logan, you are right. We are not fighting alone; we have each other. As long as we unite, nothing can stop our progress.”
Elder Logan nodded, determination and resolve sparkling in his eyes, “Moreover, Elder Talon Skyler, do not forget, we also have our clan. They are our strong backing, the source of our strength. For them, we also cannot give up easily.”
