Chapter 356 - 177: The Sincere Contract_1
The mightiest phoenix has no tail, the most fearsome dragon has no wings.
This is a saying circulated among the summoners, representing the two most powerful magical beasts on the Land of the Sacred and Demonic.
The seven-color phoenix and the five-clawed golden dragon.
The seven-color phoenix doesn’t possess the dazzling tail feathers that regular phoenixes have, because its tail feathers are the seven elements of the human world. Only when it moves, the seven elements naturally converge into the most dazzling seven tail feathers, that sway beguilingly behind it.
The five-clawed golden dragon is the only creature in the dragon tribe that lacks dragon wings, yet it’s the royalty among the dragon tribe. Generation after generation of Dragon Emperors are born from the five-clawed golden dragon lineage.
Now, Tao Linlin’s heart was trembling because the tiny golden dragon that climbed from Long Dangdang’s arm to his shoulder didn’t have wings, but perfectly fit the description of a five-clawed golden dragon.
Long Dangdang and Long Kongkong were both knights. During the selection process for the demon hunting team, there was the presence of the Rat King, and Long Dangdang had never used his mount in the contest. There was a vague impression of a Little Evil Eye, and everyone subconsciously assumed that his mount companion was an Evil Eye, which just hadn’t matured. But what was this tiny golden dragon about at this moment? A five-clawed golden dragon? Dragon Emperor Bloodline?
The two adult luminous griffins were clearly intimidated as they locked eyes with each other, staring at Long Dangdang...
The two luminous griffins on the ground looked at each other again. Before griffin father could telepathically communicate to Long Dangdang, "Young man, can you tell us why the Dragon Emperor chose you?"
Long Dangdang shook his head silently, "I also don’t know why."
Griffin father was silent for a moment, and the telepathy came again, "Actually, we mean no harm. You also know that our griffin tribe line has always been on good terms with the Knights Temple. Although we don’t belong to the Knights Temple, we are clear about this tradition. I also know what you intended to capture my child for. I discovered you all earlier, but I just wanted my child to gain some experience. I didn’t expect you to catch him directly. The reason we targeted you was to see the strength of your team. While we admire freedom, if there’s a particularly suitable human partner, we are willing to follow. Because this might allow our bloodline to advance further."
Griffin mother then added, "We have noticed one of your partners. We initially intended, after repressing you, to have your partner and our child sign an equal contract, becoming each other’s bonded partners." She glanced in Ling Menglu’s direction while saying this.
