Chapter 1322: Chapter 725: Myriad Tribulations Chapter 1322: Chapter 725: Myriad Tribulations “Why have you appeared at this delicate moment, in this sensitive place? How will you explain all this? Surely you don’t intend to fob us off with more clumsy lies?”
Upon hearing this, a wave of bitterness swept through the Flood Dragon’s heart. He knew that the human aura on him was indeed a difficult issue to explain. Yet, he also understood that this could not be taken as evidence of his betrayal to the Demon Race. He took a deep breath, striving to keep calm, then slowly began, “I admit, I have indeed been tainted with the aura of the human race. However, that was because during my escape, I had no choice but to cross through human territories. In order to evade their pursuit, I hid among the humans, and that was how I accidentally acquired the scent. As for my presence here, it is purely because I have nowhere else to go and can only seek asylum with the Demon Race. I have never thought of betraying the Demon Race, let alone doing anything that would harm our interests.”
His explanation was reasonable, but the suspicion on the faces of the Demon Race soldiers had not entirely dissipated. They knew that things were not so simple–the Flood Dragon’s identity and motives still needed further investigation and verification. Nevertheless, in this tense and oppressive atmosphere, his words at least provided a direction for thought, a potential clue to uncover the truth.
As the Flood Dragon heard these words, a surge of bitterness rose in his heart, threatening to overwhelm him like an oncoming tide. He was acutely aware of the dire danger of his situation, surrounded by Demon Race soldiers who were watching him like predators, ready to strike. But he also knew that he must not let himself be wrongfully accused, nor let his innocence be tarnished without cause.
“Lord, the aura on me is indeed due to being pursued by the human race,” the Flood Dragon explained eagerly, his voice trembling slightly, yet imbued with resolve, “I fled here hoping to find shelter with the Demon Race, away from the endless pursuit and danger. My appearance here is entirely coincidental. In my blind flight, I never intended to stumble into Demon Race territory. I never harbored thoughts of betrayal, and certainly, I am no spy! Please, Lord, discern the truth and grant me justice!”
As he spoke, his eyes shimmered with sincerity and innocence, as if they could pierce through all misunderstandings and doubts, and touch the very depths of the heart. However, the Demon Race soldiers seemed unconvinced. They remained vigilant and doubtful, their cold gazes piercing the Flood Dragon’s heart like swords.
“Coincidence? Hmph, how could there be so many coincidences in the world?” sneered a Demon Race soldier, his voice laced with disdain and mockery, “The human aura on you, and the timing of your arrival, are both too suspicious. You say you’re not a spy, but who would believe that? Unless you can present more convincing evidence to prove your innocence!”
