The Growth of a God-Chapter 633 - 17: Old Dragon with Long Whiskers

"Are these ghost things... really living creatures?"

After failing once again to strike down the Unseen Guardians with her longsword, Feng Xi couldn't help but roar in anger.

It must be known that Feng Xi is a Qi Cultivator with Dual Cultivation of Magic and Martial Arts, and all her longswords were transformed from her own Feather.

These Feathers possess the sharpness to cleave steel and iron, and can even slay invisible ghosts and Spirit Bodies.

Yet despite this, when these Feathers struck the Unseen Guardians, they only produced a harsh clanging sound with no actual damage.

"They are an extremely special kind of artificial creature."

"Unlike the artificial creatures understood by your Mountain and Sea Civilization, these Unseen Guardians are 'forged'."

At this time, Hephaestus — who still had the mind to explain — casually grasped, and a heart made from cast iron appeared in his hand.

"Their wisdom comes from souls, albeit the lowest souls."

"Their bodies are forged from steel, no matter how many times you kill them, they can be remade simply by re-casting."

"Thus the sword that can slay souls cannot break their iron bodies..."

"And the sword that can pierce the iron bodies cannot harm their souls..."

"To be honest, they bear some resemblance to the skeletons in your world."

Silently appearing behind Feng Xi and Hephaestus, Marquis Yi answered as he reformed his shape.

"Since that's the case, continuing to entangle with them is pointless."

For such an undefeatable group, even if Marquis Yi destroys them thousands of times, it would only waste some firepower and materials from the City of No Gods.

"The problem now is, we have no idea how we got exposed."

"Leaving might not be as simple as it seems." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

This puzzled Hephaestus the most — how exactly did these Unseen Guardians discover them?

"No matter what, we have to try!"

Grabbing Feng Xi by the collar, Marquis Yi this time vanished together with her.

Swoosh!

Simultaneously, the Ten-tailed Dragon Carp also shrank its form at the frontline, leaving only confused Unseen Guardians behind.

The flaw of using low-grade and cheap souls to create these Unseen Guardians became fully exposed at this moment.

These Unseen Guardians, whose wisdom is no better than plants, may perform worse in sudden situations than some artificial fools.

At the very least, artificial fools might respond, "Hello, this problem is beyond my capabilities."

...........................

Half an hour later, in a corner of a street within the City of No Gods.

"They haven't found us this time?"

Hephaestus looked up at the drones above with a face full of confusion and bewilderment.

To probe whether these drones indeed didn't detect them, Hephaestus intentionally flew around within their detection range.

Unexpectedly, the drones showed no reaction to his probe.

"Then how were we exposed before?"

"Through what means did those Unseen Guardians discover us?"

Unable to fathom, Hephaestus scratched his head, momentarily even doubting his own abilities.

Whether his abilities failed or there's more to it, it only proved the city's danger level increased further.

"It's the Divine Eye; it saw you."

Suddenly, an old voice emerged from behind the three.

The startled trio immediately turned around, watching the direction the voice came from with caution.

Especially Hephaestus, as a God he hadn't sensed the appearance of the voice's owner; this suggested the other was at least a Demigod with a higher-dimensional vision.

"No need to be so tense, I'm on your side."

Slowly stepping out from the shadows, the old voice's owner finally revealed his true form.

It was a dragon—a humanoid dragon.

He had a human-like body and limbs, with a long neck bearing an elderly Dragon Head.

Bai Mei drooped to his shoulders, dragon whiskers touched the ground, along with the skin's fly-squashing wrinkles...

Hephaestus even suspected the other might suddenly gasp for air and drop dead in the next moment.

"Who are you?"

They remained vigilant despite the Old Dragon's words.

Marquis Yi quietly scanned the surroundings, finding no one had noticed the Old Dragon's appearance.

Due to the previous lockdown, residents of the City of No Gods hid in their homes, occasionally peeking at the patrolling Unseen Guardians through their windows.

Oddly, as their eyes swept over this street corner, none noticed the conversation happening here.

Marquis Yi and the other two were fine, aided by Hephaestus's abilities.

But as for the Old Dragon opposite?

Did he possess similar abilities?

"Me?"

"Just an old Immortal who hasn't died yet."

The old voice carried some playful tone, as the Old Dragon casually sketched a circle, suddenly opening a portal to another space.

"If you don't want that Divine Eye to discover you again, then follow me!"

Speaking, the Old Dragon went into the circle without waiting, leaving behind one more remark before entering.

"By the way, if you're still looking for the 'Bad Luck Star's body, you shouldn't roam around the city so openly."

Watching the Old Dragon's figure vanish into the circle, Marquis Yi and Feng Xi exchanged glances.

Through the portal, Marquis Yi and Feng Xi glimpsed a mountain area different from the City of No Gods.

"Go!"

"What are you waiting for? Hurry and follow!"

Compared to Marquis Yi and Feng Xi's hesitation, Hephaestus—finally learning about his true body's whereabouts—urged them on.

Because Hephaestus knew better than the other two that if the Old Dragon really had hostile intentions, the moment he showed himself would've been enough to kill them.

What's more, if Hephaestus sensed right, he felt an aura from the Old Dragon akin to Yao Xin's.

The difference being, the Old Dragon's aura was much more ancient than Yao Xin's.

"Should we follow?"

Carefully lowering her voice, Feng Xi asked Marquis Yi.

"Follow, after all, things won't get worse than they are now."

Seeing the portal gradually shrinking, with little time left to think, Marquis Yi made up his mind.

Thus, led by Marquis Yi, the group one after another passed through the portal, arriving at a small village built within the Wilderness's forested hills.
