I'm at Level 30, But I Can Slay Level-9999 Beasts in One Hit!-Chapter 436: The Silencing Gesture

"Hiss hiss hiss..."

As Ye Xuan was silent, the several wicked dragons diagonally across started roaring at Ye Xuan again; their pupils were grey-white, their expressions ferocious. Anyone else might have been scared witless by the sight.

However, Ye Xuan didn’t feel much of anything.

These wicked dragons seemed to be a new type, one that allowed multiple other wicked dragons to parasitize their bodies.

Ye Xuan thought about it, staring intently at the few wicked dragons.

Suddenly, Ye Xuan saw that one of the wicked dragons had a mutilated arm, an area that looked like it had been stripped of flesh. Due to the wicked dragon’s regenerative abilities, the area had turned into a sticky mass of green.

"Is this flesh edible?"

Ye Xuan remembered the words that the few underlings had mentioned earlier.

Could it be they... were eating the flesh of wicked dragons?

But wouldn’t eating the flesh of wicked dragons kill you?

Madness.

In that second, Ye Xuan felt his scalp tingle.

However, according to what they had said, Li Wanlong became very powerful because he ate the flesh, which suggested that consuming such flesh could enable one to level up.

But it didn’t make sense--if leveling up were as simple as eating flesh, everyone would be doing it.

While Ye Xuan was puzzling over this, He Yalan at his side began to stir slightly.

Ye Xuan hurried over and found a half-bottle of unfinished mineral water at his side; he poured a little over He Yalan’s head. Soon after, He Yalan came to her senses.

"Shh..."

As soon as He Yalan opened her eyes, Ye Xuan made a silencing gesture toward her.

"Where... is this?" He Yalan, upon regaining consciousness, whispered the question.

"De Ge set us up. We’ve been captured and brought here. The people across from us are just like us, captives. Next to us are the imprisoned wicked dragons."

As Ye Xuan spoke, He Yalan also turned to look at the wicked dragons beside them.

"What kind of wicked dragons are these? I’ve never seen them before. They seem to have mutated not as horribly as the previous Heart-Hosting Wicked Dragons or Immortal Wicked Dragons. Aside from seeming more enraged, they don’t look much different from humans," said He Yalan.

"Yeah, but they are carriers for many wicked dragons. Different kinds of wicked dragons are parasitizing their bodies; they are still very dangerous, and..."

Ye Xuan stopped suddenly at that point.

"And what?" He Yalan frowned.

"Look at the cuts on these wicked dragons’ arms and bodies, they’ve been sliced. I heard them say something earlier about eating flesh to grow stronger, and now I’m wondering if the people here are eating the flesh of wicked dragons."

"Eating the flesh of wicked dragons?"

Upon hearing this, He Yalan’s complexion turned particularly unsightly.

Just then, laughter erupted from the hotpot-eating area not far away, and Ye Xuan sighed softly: "Those guys are having a good time; it’ll be easy for us to slip away. However, their leader, Li Wanlong, hasn’t returned yet."

"Are you trying to figure out if they really ate the flesh of wicked dragons to become stronger?" He Yalan looked at Ye Xuan and asked, a hint of interest in her voice as well.

"Yeah, if eating flesh can really make one stronger, everyone would just eat it," said Ye Xuan.

He Yalan nodded: "You make sense."

"Regardless, let’s get out and meet up with Tang Xuerou first. Li Wanlong’s territory is here; he’s bound to return eventually."

As Ye Xuan spoke, he stood up.

"But, it’s going to be somewhat difficult for us to get out from this side." He Yalan glanced at the group of people eating hot pot not far away.

Their location was in the middle of the home furnishing city, and the surroundings had been cleared by them, which was quite empty—if they went over, that group of people would definitely notice them.

"We just need to create a distraction."

Ye Xuan said this and quickly picked up the ropes on the ground, looping them around both himself and He Yalan without tying them tight.

Then, Ye Xuan released threads, tying the threads to the ropes, and with a fierce swing of his arm, the threads hooked onto the ceiling, suspending Ye Xuan and He Yalan in the air.

Ye Xuan also hung the few people brought back by Li Wanlong up on the ceiling.

"You..." He Yalan turned her head to look at Ye Xuan, her eyes filled with surprise.

"You’ll know what I’m doing soon enough." As Ye Xuan spoke, his hand again released threads, quickly reaching the feet of the evil dragons and "snap" cut through the shackles on their feet.

"So you’re planning to..."

Before He Yalan could finish her sentence, Ye Xuan had already released more threads, chopping off the shackles around the hands of the evil dragons as well.

With a "crack," the unrestrained evil dragons immediately became restless, roaring and pouncing towards Ye Xuan and his companions.

However, Ye Xuan and his companions were hung quite high, the evil dragons couldn’t reach them at all. After roaring a few times, the evil dragons turned and pounced towards the group of people eating hot pot.

"Snap."

Seeing the evil dragons shift their target, Ye Xuan retracted the threads binding him and He Yalan, and soon Ye Xuan, He Yalan, and the few unconscious people once again landed on the ground.

Ye Xuan pulled He Yalan to sit down.

"Why are the evil dragons’ roars so loud? Have they gone mad again?"

"How did the evil dragons get loose? Where are those people?"

"The people are still here, but the evil dragons have come over! Brothers, grab your weapons."

...

The people eating hot pot quickly heard the commotion and the four evil dragons released by Ye Xuan were already pouncing towards them.

Luckily, when they had looked over earlier, they saw Ye Xuan and his companions still tied up on the ground, so they didn’t become suspicious.

Since the evil dragons went over, the group of people couldn’t hold on very long, fighting against the several evil dragons with their weapons.

Ye Xuan quickly cut the ropes binding the few unconscious people opposite them with his threads, but they remained in an unconscious state.

"I can only help so much, whether they can break free from here depends on their fate." Ye Xuan put away his threads and looked at the few unconscious people opposite him.

"Let’s go." He Yalan spoke and quickly started running forward.

Since the evil dragons had driven that group to another area, Ye Xuan and He Yalan were able to escape smoothly from the home furnishing city.

When the two returned to the snack shelf area, Ye Xuan stopped in his tracks.

"What’s the matter?" He Yalan asked with some confusion when she saw Ye Xuan stop.

"Since we’re already here, we might as well grab some things before we go."

Ye Xuan spoke and stepped forward towards the shelves in front of him, took out a foldable pocket from his bag, and stuffed all the snacks on the shelf into the pocket.

After packing the items, Ye Xuan and He Yalan went back to where they had parked their off-road vehicle, but their vehicle was nowhere to be seen.

"Could they have encountered danger?" He Yalan, seeing that the off-road vehicle was gone, showed a few more traces of worry.

Ye Xuan frowned: "Let’s go have a look."
