Chapter 2153: Antares’ Friend

The Tianlong before him was clearly of the dragon race, yet seemed to have a grudge against dragons.

No wonder his eyes resembled Antares’ somewhat. The two likely had similar stories or experiences.

Dragons are not good at hiding their emotions. Whatever they’re thinking tends to show in their eyes.

Antares was the same back then.

Lin Moyu wasn’t angered by Tianlong’s behavior. Instead, he calmly said, "You’re very similar to a dragon friend of mine. Like you, he’s a dragon himself but hates dragons."

Mentioning dragons again made the anger in Tianlong’s eyes intensify.

But after hearing Lin Moyu’s words, he seemed stunned.

Mainly because Lin Moyu said "he’s a dragon himself but hates dragons."

Tianlong couldn’t help asking, "What’s the name of this dragon friend of yours?"

Lin Moyu said, "His name is strange, four characters - Antares!"

Roar!

Tianlong suddenly let out a violent roar. Dragon cries echoed through space, and the continent he was on shook violently, breaking apart.

Terrifying energy swept out. Behind Tianlong appeared an illusory world with white clouds and what seemed to be dragons flying about.

Lin Moyu was sent flying back by the intense energy. Little Bull cried out as it was blasted away, looking quite miserable.

This wasn’t an attack, but rather Tianlong losing control of his emotions, too agitated.

This was also similar to Antares - prone to big emotional outbursts at any time.

Lin Moyu flew back and looked at the heavily breathing Tianlong. "Are you missing your dragon pearl?"

Antares had once explained that his emotional instability was due to missing his dragon pearl.

Lin Moyu later confirmed this. The holy dragon Saint Light’s emotions were very stable, as were those of other elemental dragons.

The reason was the dragon pearl. Missing the dragon pearl not only greatly weakened a dragon’s power, but also affected their emotions and soul.

Tianlong struggled to control his emotions. His huge dragon eyes stared at Lin Moyu. "You said your friend is called Antares?"

Lin Moyu nodded, "That’s right."

"How did you know I’m missing my dragon pearl?" Tianlong asked.

Lin Moyu said, "Antares told me. The dragon pearl affects your dragon race’s emotions. At the time, Antares was also missing his dragon pearl. I helped him find a few."

Hearing this, Tianlong nearly lost control again.

But this time he managed to hold back. The breath he exhaled was even thicker, not dissipating for tens of thousands of miles.

"To tell you such a secret, I believe you are indeed good friends with him."

"But why do I smell the scent of holy dragons and elemental dragons on you?"

Lin Moyu said, "I’ve met a holy dragon named Saint Light, as well as several elemental dragons."

Tianlong seemed to still have doubts. "Dragons usually stay in seclusion. How did you meet them?"

His curiosity was strong, also similar to Antares in this regard.

"It seems he and Antares are friends too, and had similar experiences. But Antares went to the small world, while he came to the boundary area," Lin Moyu thought.

While thinking this, he answered Tianlong’s question: "At the time, I happened to encounter dragons in the outer realm. They were fighting the Insect Race, so I watched for a while."

Tianlong believed Lin Moyu’s words. "Come closer!"

Lin Moyu flew in front of Tianlong, only a hundred meters apart - practically face to face.

A gentle light emerged from Tianlong’s nose, enveloping Lin Moyu.

He seemed to be sniffing Lin Moyu’s aura intently. Soon, shock appeared in his eyes. "Why do you also have the Dragon God’s scent on you?"

Lin Moyu said, "I once had the honor of meeting the Dragon God briefly."

Suddenly, he let out another strange cry. "How can you have his scent? Why, why?!"

Tianlong’s emotions were on the verge of losing control again. Lin Moyu felt somewhat helpless - his condition seemed even worse than Antares’.

Was it because he was missing too many dragon pearls?

But it was clear Tianlong was trying hard to control his emotions.

Lin Moyu didn’t react, but wondered in his mind who the "he" Tianlong referred to was.

When mentioning "him", there was clearly a hint of fear in Tianlong’s voice.

Lin Moyu’s first thought was of the old man he had seen in the Origin Secret Realm.

But it was hard to say. Lin Moyu also thought of that mysterious master.

And the two Heavenly Venerables weren’t impossible either.

Things seemed rather confusing. Lin Moyu couldn’t be certain for the moment.

Tianlong finally managed to stabilize his emotions. "What business do you have with me?"

His tone had changed, becoming milder. He seemed to have accepted Lin Moyu’s identity.

Lin Moyu naturally understood. Though dragons held a grudge against him, Antares was his friend - and not just an ordinary friend.

So Lin Moyu, also being Antares’ friend, was naturally accepted by Tianlong.

Dragons think very directly. A friend’s friend is basically a friend.

Lin Moyu said, "I’d like to ask for your help. You probably know the situation between us humans and the alien races."

Tianlong nodded, "I know. The Eagle Emperor came to see me a few days ago, but I drove him away."

"The Eagle Emperor came to ask you why you launched a beast tide, right?"

Tianlong grunted in affirmation, "That’s right. That fool. Not only did this dragon not launch a beast tide, even if I wanted to, is it any of his business?"

"He’s just a neither-human-nor-ghost half-step Supreme. Let alone sending an avatar, even if he came in person, so what? This dragon could kill him with one breath."

Lin Moyu immediately took the opportunity to flatter him. "Indeed, with your strength, you have no need to fear him."

Tianlong’s strength should be very great. Though he appeared to be at the Saint Venerable realm, his true combat power should exceed that.

Moreover, he was missing dragon pearls. If his dragon pearls were complete, he likely wouldn’t be limited to Saint Venerable.

At the very least, the rules world he had just displayed didn’t seem inferior to a Supreme’s rules world in Lin Moyu’s perception.

Tianlong glanced at Lin Moyu. "You launched the beast tide, didn’t you?"

Lin Moyu admitted frankly, "Yes, I launched the beast tide."

With Little Bull right beside him, there was no way to hide it. Lin Moyu hadn’t intended to conceal it anyway.

Lin Moyu said, "Our human race is at war with them. Over a dozen races have already been wiped out. If we keep fighting, the various races will eventually collapse."

"Large numbers of them will flee to the outer realm, and the boundary area is on the necessary route."

Tianlong chuckled, "You want this dragon to intercept them, right?"

Lin Moyu immediately followed up with more flattery. "Your wisdom is unmatched. It’s truly a pleasure to converse with you."

Tianlong said, "I can agree to this. I can have those little ones seal off the boundary area and ensure that anyone who comes dies."

"But I have a condition."

Lin Moyu said, "I understand. Dragons believe in fair trades. Just name your condition."

Tianlong said, "Help me find my dragon pearls."

"How many?"

"Five. Three are in the inner realm, two in the outer realm."

Lin Moyu fell into thought. "I can only say I’ll do my best, but I can’t guarantee anything."

The inner realm was already vast, with a diameter of 2 million light years. Trying to find a dragon pearl would be even harder than finding a needle in a haystack.

Tianlong also hesitated, knowing the difficulty. "I naturally have a way."
