The Natural Empire of the Oceanic Dragon

#370 - Call of the Spider Goddess

Looking at the familiar faces and smiles, Atilan smiled knowingly.

“Everyone, eat as you please. The fruits and meats here are all from a secret realm I obtained. They are carefully cultivated with magic, and are much more delicious than those produced by our magic farms.”

The barmaid smiled and grabbed the bone handle of a tomahawk steak.

She placed the tomahawk steak, nearly two meters in length, onto the oversized plate in front of her.

“Such a large steak, how big must the cow be? And how long would it take to cultivate such a cow?”

The leopard woman directly grabbed a large piece of steak that had been cut off and began to gnaw on it with both hands.

“Why do you care how big the cow is? As long as the beef is delicious, that’s all that matters.”

Atilan poured the barmaid a glass of Water-Fire Duality Wine that he had prepared for this gathering.

“Try it. Although it’s newly brewed wine, with the blessing of my exquisite brewing skills, it’s no worse than wine that has been stored for three years!”

The barmaid revealed an expression of surprise and frustration just from smelling the wine.

“Did you brew the Water-Fire Duality Immortal Wine that Grandmaster Chen taught you?”

Atilan smiled.

“No, not only is there a difference in materials, but my skills are also much more immature than Grandmaster Chen, who has been immersed in it for hundreds of years. I can’t yet achieve the magic of turning decay into wonder.”

Grandmaster Chen was not the protagonist. During his cultivation, he didn’t have so many top-notch treasures and materials delivered to his door for him to use, and even because he came from another universe.

His luck was relatively worse.

But even so, he still realized his lifelong ambition in this universe.

Based on this alone, Grandmaster Chen knew that in the universe he was in, ordinary professionals suffered unspeakably under the oppression of the Heavenly Court.

The environment of the Eastern Universe was really too suitable for this kind of thing.

Even if it failed, the Elemental Dragon God’s cunning would allow him to reap enough power of faith.

If he really allowed the Yellow Heaven to replace the Azure Heaven and become the Heavenly Emperor, coupled with his arrangements left in the Central Earth Universe, he would have a great chance of controlling two universes!

Gathering the resources of two universes, he would definitely become a God above Gods.

The abacus was too loud, and the chances of having the plate smashed were also increasing.

The leopard woman single-handedly finished three pieces of tomahawk beef, and still, with lingering desire, stretched her oily hand in front of Atilan.

“Bring out some more of this beef, not steak, grilled beef skewers would also be fine!”

Looking at the leopard woman with her hands and face covered in oil, Atilan shook his head in disgust. How could he like this silly girl?

Atilan was stunned, it seemed that what he liked was the leopard woman’s silliness.

“There’s no more beef. This kind of cow needs to be raised for twenty years before the meat quality can reach its most delicious stage, so it tastes so great now.”

“Twenty years!”

The leopard woman curled her lips and shook her head.

“Looks like I won’t be able to eat it a few times in my life.”

Looking at the leopard woman, who was already in her thirties but still as youthful and beautiful as an eighteen-year-old girl, and even her mind was only a little over ten years old.

“After the elemental dragon veins form in your body, you will be considered a dragon descendant. Coupled with the druid’s ability to maintain your body, I think it won’t be a problem for you to live for three hundred years.”

“If you still can’t cultivate a long-lived body after three hundred years, then you can find a piece of tofu and smash yourself to death.”

Looking around, Atilan frowned and asked:

“Where’s the sloth? Why didn’t he come?”

Atilan quickly found the bear man.

The bear man was also stunned for a moment.

“Two months ago, I communicated with him once. His situation was still very normal at the time, and I didn’t hear that his cultivation had entered a critical period.”

“Did you send him a message, did he reply?”

It was because he replied to the message but didn’t come that Atilan found it strange.

Because he liked to sleep, the sloth had always been the one with the lowest presence in the organization.

Each time at gatherings, he would always slowly appear last. Slow was slow, but he would always appear on time.

Today, everyone had already started eating, and the first round was almost finished, but the sloth still hadn’t appeared.

The bear man frowned and said:

“We two are in the southwest desert near the western mountains. He cultivates trees, and I cultivate animals. Originally, I said we would come together, but he insisted that he could come by himself.”

“Let me go first, and even said he had a way to arrive faster than me.”

The bear man’s face changed.

“Could it be that the sloth tried a new method and failed!”

They quickly found the bear person and told him about the sloth’s situation.

Who would have thought that the old urchin would suddenly laugh out loud.

“You lost!”

The bear person stared at Atilan with a dark face and said:

“Not only is he not in trouble, but he’s also right next to you two. Sometimes I really should reflect on whether the druid training I’ve given you over the years has been too lax.”

“One by one, you only know how to eat, drink, and have fun all day long. Such a big person, and not one of you saw him!”

The old urchin waved his hand with a smile.

“Alright, no need to hide anymore.”

Under the moonlight, a humanoid creature with long, silvery-white fur revealed its figure.

The bear man looked at him in shock.

“Sloth! You… how did you become like this? Your fur?”

The sloth smoothed his soft, silvery-white long fur and explained:

“My fur has actually always been this color, but because I often sleep on trees for one or two months at a time, a layer of moss gradually grows on the surface of my body.”

“This layer of moss has an auxiliary effect on my perception of nature, so I have never cleaned it, until recently, my understanding of nature suddenly reached a new level.”

“Allowing me to merge with nature, and also activating a bloodline in my body, allowing me to absorb moonlight to become invisible, and also predict good luck and misfortune around me to a certain extent.”

Atilan looked at the sloth in surprise.

“So you used the two traits of moonlight invisibility and natural fusion to perfectly hide by our side. So many delicious things, and you just watched us finish eating them?”

The sloth smiled slyly.

“Actually, there were so many things that I secretly took a little bit from the corner, and you didn’t even notice.”

The leopard woman suddenly clapped her hands.

“I was wondering why that cherry pie was gone, so it was you who took it!”

Natural fusion, this is indeed a very good druid ability.

The bear man asked curiously:

“How did you cultivate natural fusion, and what is that faster way of moving than me? Knowing such a good method, you didn’t even bring me along!”

The sloth looked at the bear man in confusion.

“It’s the Earth Walking Technique that the old urchin taught us, you’ve also been practicing it, and you even said you practiced it well.”

The bear man twitched the corner of his mouth.

“Even if you go in a straight line, it’s more than two thousand kilometers from where we live to the school here. You used the Earth Walking Technique all the way here? Is your magic power enough?”

The sloth nodded as a matter of course.

“It’s enough. The more skilled you are in the Earth Walking Technique, the lower the magic power consumption when using it, and in the state of natural fusion, my ability to absorb natural magic power from the environment is greatly enhanced.”

“As long as there is an environment with a natural magic network, I can achieve rapid movement, from west to east, from south to north.”

The sloth looked at everyone’s shocked faces and asked in confusion:

"It's the Earth Walk technique that allowed me to master the fusion with nature. If even I can master it, you guys with your talent should be able to do it soon, right?"

Everyone immediately gave awkward smiles, even the Eagle King felt a bit uncomfortable.

Old Rascal sneered and said:

"Don't look at me, none of them seriously practiced Earth Walk. When I asked to teach you guys, each and every one of you acted so serious, but how many of you went back and practiced?"

Actually, it's not that everyone didn't want to practice, it's just that Earth Walk was too difficult to master.

The most basic use of Earth Walk is to separate the soil in front of you to advance, but this is slow and consumes a lot of magic power.

The second step is to partially transform the body into earth element, so you don't have to completely separate the soil, and you can also increase the speed of earth walking.

The final step is to completely fuse the earth-elementalized body with the earth, achieving instantaneous travel over thousands of miles!

Of course, even Old Rascal hasn't fully mastered this move.

The biggest advantage of Earth Walk is that it fuses with the earth, leaving no traces after moving. You only need to drill down dozens or hundreds of kilometers to avoid being chased by enemies.

Wait, Attilan suddenly remembered that he envied Old Treant for being able to dig for treasure underground, but he couldn't.

This Earth Walk technique, which he had almost forgotten, is perfect for underground treasure hunting.

Attilan asked curiously:

"Treant, when you use Earth Walk and fuse with nature, can you sense the underground environment through the earth?"

As soon as the Bearman heard this, he knew what Attilan was thinking.

"What's the difference between your idea and searching for a needle in a haystack? Be careful you don't have enough magic power and get suffocated or crushed underground."

Old Rascal also shook his head and said:

"It's not realistic. The environment of the Elemental Dragon Realm has changed dramatically. The land has become the ocean, and the ocean has become high peaks. If you want to find the treasures left behind by the former Dragonkin Empire."

"You might need to dig a straight line for tens of thousands of kilometers. Even I can't bring things out from underground, and after so many years, those treasures have probably become junk."

But Attilan knew that anything that hadn't become junk after so many years was truly a valuable item.

It's indeed unrealistic for him to go himself, but Earth Walk is indeed worth picking up again.

Once he activates the Cloud Dragon Vein, the next one to activate will be the Mountain Dragon Vein.

Practicing Earth Walk in advance to improve his mastery of earth element is just right.

Moreover, according to Cerestis, among wind, thunder, water, fire, and earth, the earth element responsible for balance is the most important.

His best brother, Treant, suddenly became so powerful that the Bearman felt that the delicacies in his hand were no longer appealing.

Thinking about it carefully, Treant seemed to be sleeping every day, but in reality, he was cultivating twenty-four hours a day, while what about him?

At most, he cultivated for fourteen hours a day.

"Treant, can you teach me your ability to cultivate even while sleeping?"

Treant scratched his head.

"I don't think so. Sleeping cultivation is my talent, but I will try to summarize it into empirical methods and pass it on to you."

Sleeping cultivation is indeed a rare talent, especially since Treant has specially developed this talent.

"I've also summarized a meditation method. After continuous practice for a year or two, you can meditate while sleeping, but it's only suitable for students."

For this group of druids, all of whom are above level 10, that meditation method is too ineffective.

Attilan joked with a smile:

"It seems that Treant will have to establish a new school and create a brand new branch within the Council of Nature in the future!"

Treant waved his hands excitedly.

"No, I don't have the talent or determination to establish a new school. Right now, just teaching at the Druid School and being a teacher makes me feel overwhelmed."

"I really don't think I can be that kind of master who is fully responsible for balance. I still prefer sleeping alone."

Teachers only need to be responsible for teaching, but masters are like fathers, guiding children to grow and giving them a bright future.

"Treant, don't worry. Maybe one day a student who is completely compatible with you will appear in the school, and you can let him inherit all your skills and establish a new school."

Treant's eyes lit up.

"Yes! I will increase my time at the school in the future."

Suddenly, Arachne, who had been quietly enjoying the delicacies sent by Attilan's men in the forest, frantically broke trees one by one and ran wildly towards the large playground where the students were gathered.

Attilan's expression changed, and he immediately took out the Ocean Orb and transformed into a giant emerald dragon over eighty meters in size, rushing towards Arachne at top speed.

Arachne, with a height of over fifty meters, was a truly gigantic creature.

Attilan was really worried that he wouldn't be able to hold her back.

Two dragon claws pressed down on Arachne, while his legs and tail braced against the soil.

Fortunately, he stopped Arachne before her tail hit the school's courtyard wall.

But Arachne's eyes were bloodshot, and she frantically waved her spider legs to attack Attilan.

The sharp spider legs actually pierced Attilan's dragon scales, making him feel unbelievable.

Fortunately, Arachne's spider legs couldn't inject poison, otherwise Attilan would have been forced to knock Arachne down.

Seeing the principal descend from the sky and block the small mountain rushing towards them, the students not only didn't run, but also applauded and cheered.

They had indeed heard that the principal was a dragon, but they didn't expect the principal's size to be so large.

"From head to tail, the principal's size is over eighty meters! Our principal is an Ancient Dragon!"

Attilan turned his head and said seriously:

"In the capacity of the principal, I announce the activation of the emergency plan! Everyone evacuate immediately!"

The graduates, who originally wanted to watch the excitement, had no choice but to reluctantly lead their younger classmates away.

Ivory also teleported to Attilan's shoulder at this time, calling out to Arachne.

"Arachne, it's me!"

But Arachne remained unmoved, and even waved her spider legs at Ivory, trying to kill her.

Not caring about so much, Attilan quickly waved his dragon claws and cut off Arachne's spider legs.

"Ivory, what's going on? Don't you have the divinity of fate? Why didn't you see it?"

Ivory looked at the sky and said in surprise:

"A piece of the Web of Fate has turned black, so I was completely unaware of Arachne's changes. Since I had the divinity of fate, I have become too dependent on the Web of Fate."

The Bearman, the Vine Woman, and Old Rascal also appeared in the sky at this time, each casting spells to trap Arachne.

"Ivory, who did it?"

Ivory gritted her teeth and said:

"It's the Spider Goddess Lolth. She doesn't know when she also mastered the ability to weave fate conspiracies. She doesn't want to see the Fey Spider resurrected in Arachne's body."

"So she used some props and tried to kill Arachne, or me who can see fate, by weaving fate conspiracies."

"It's just that she can't see Attilan. I didn't expect Attilan to invite me to the banquet today, otherwise, if I were alone with Arachne, I would either kill Arachne or be killed by Arachne."
