Nobody told me this wasn't a game.

Such a fierce, such a sharp opponent...

This is the first time I've encountered this since I traveled through time.

Is this the true value of "Community No. 2"? It shouldn't be underestimated!

Zuo Chang spun the Moon Crown Sword, activating its additional abilities:

"Tranquility": Communicate with the moon to restore your mana to its maximum. This skill can only be used once; it can only be used again when the next moon rises.

The cool power of the moon flowed through his entire body, and Zuo Chang's magical power was fully restored.

Golden light enveloped his entire body once more, and that feeling of "danger" surged into Dragon's heart once more.

In the blink of an eye, the man and the dragon stared at each other.

Human eyes are calm and indifferent, but dragon eyes are filled with deep despair.

Despite the overwhelming numerical advantage, Zuo Chang simply ducked to dodge the dragon claw's attack, deftly raising his longsword before slashing down fiercely—

The dragon's head snapped off with a resounding crash!

The thick smoke and blazing sun dissipated, and the erupting volcano in the distance disappeared from view.

After Dragon's death, his domain collapsed.

Zuo Chang also deactivated the Whispering Forest and, together with Melville, reappeared in the fountain room, beneath the statue of the god.

Zuo Chang looked left and right, and after confirming that there were no strange people in the room, he slowly pushed the Moon Crown Sword back into its sheath.

He looked at Melville, who had a serious expression, and smiled, "Not bad. We caught a half-dragon, and it's from Community 2."

Melville remained silent.

She stood somewhat reservedly in front of Zuo Chang, trying to organize her thoughts.

The first step is, in what capacity should she face Zuo Chang?

It's clearly inappropriate to identify as a "peer".

The sword strike that had previously pierced the assassin behind her was indeed stunning, but it was still within her comprehension.

But the battle with that dragon just now completely overturned her understanding!

"cough."

Melville cleared his throat again.

She adjusted her skirt and said, "Congratulations, senior."

"?"

Whom does the senior address?

Zuo Chang looked coldly at Melville and scoffed, "You're quite adaptable! First a commoner, then Mr. Zuo, and now you're a senior, right?"

"Assessing the situation and acting accordingly is a skill, and I happen to possess it."

Melville was shameless; his smile contained not a trace of flattery, but rather appeared genuine.

She placed one hand on her chest and continued, "Just like you said, the only thing I can boast about is being a 'descendant of a witch,' but that identity doesn't really carry much weight. Yet I still want to get as much contact as possible with 'high society,' because that's where there's hope. Therefore... flattery and submissiveness are social skills I must master and become proficient in, otherwise I'll be abandoned."

Such blunt words left Zuo Chang speechless.

He looked at Melville and asked in surprise, "Have you always been this frank?"

Melville shook his head.

With a hint of helplessness, she sighed and said, "I am only frank with you, senior. Although we haven't known each other for long, I feel that... I have no sense of propriety in front of you, and we are already at a point where I can say anything to you."

Zuo Chang nodded in agreement: "That's right. You've already peed all over the place, what's the point of having any shame?"

"quack……"

Melville hardened his fist, his clenched knuckles cracking.

Chapter 198: Apply What You've Learned

Community No. 2.

The secretary general walked into the Dragon Queen's room and said, "General, Dragon is dead."

The deep darkness before me remained still.

The next instant, the golden dragon's eyes opened, radiating a captivating light!

The secretary-general felt a chill run down his spine and slightly lost his composure.

This is……

what happened?

For other communities, the battle for the crown may be very important.

However, Community 2 is a Dragon Community, and the stat bonuses for Grand Heroes are only so-so, not as good as those for pure-blooded Dragons.

Therefore, the Secretary General believed that Dragon's defeat should be considered a minor matter.

The Dragon Queen shouldn't have "opened her eyes".

She asked hesitantly, "General... what's wrong? You seem a little agitated."

The Dragon Queen exhaled a breath, and smoke and clouds rose up, engulfing the Secretary-General's thighs.

The Queen spoke up, "It's nothing, I just saw something interesting... Do you know who the two men who killed Dragon were?"

The secretary-general immediately opened the documents in his hand: "The man's background has not yet been determined, but the woman's identity has been preliminarily confirmed. She should be from 5245 and has participated in the 'Cross-border Exchange Conference.' We have obtained her information."

The Queen narrowed her eyes: "Send someone to 5245 immediately and bring her here!"

The secretary-general immediately bowed his head and said, "Yes."

Zuo Chang was naturally unaware of what was happening within Community No. 2.

At this moment, he stood before the statue of the god, studying it carefully.

"Senior, what are you doing?"

Melville, standing behind him, couldn't help but ask.

Zuo Chang pointed to the statue of the celestial god and said, "This statue of the celestial god seems to be movable."

"Huh? So what?"

"So you lend a hand, and we'll move the statue to the corner."

The statue of the celestial being in the room wasn't very large, about the same height as Zuo Chang. Carved from a single piece of stone, it was quite heavy, but with the combined efforts of two seventh-realm adventurers, it shouldn't be a problem.

Melville was somewhat worried.

She clasped her hands together and bowed repeatedly to the statue, saying, "I'm sorry, please don't take offense. It was all the senior's idea, it has nothing to do with me."

Zuo Chang looked at her coldly: "You're quite superstitious. Come and lend a hand."

"Is this superstition? The goddess isn't fake; she really exists!" Melville stared wide-eyed. "Speaking of which, senior, why did you move the statue? Placing it in a corner would make it lose its divinity?"

No.

It is highly likely that divinity will be retained.

The blessing will still be triggered as long as you touch the statue.

The two exerted their strength, attempting to move the statue—

The statue remained motionless.

Zuo Chang was slightly surprised, but also felt it made sense. If the statue could be moved and carried away, who would be able to receive the engraved blessing?

This is the mechanism of this instance; it's normal that it can't be moved.

Melville said, "Your plan has failed."

Zuo Chang waved his hand: "I have a backup plan."

First, let's decide the weapons!

Then, the Yin Sword form!

Finally, nature's guardians!

Zuo Chang used a series of serpentine maneuvers to summon the Ancient Tree Guardian, and then, in front of Melville, moved the Ancient Tree Guardian into the fountain.

The next instant, thorns spread.

Spiky roots spread from the fountain, breaking through the soil and bricks, quickly covering the entire room. Zuo Chang pulled Melville to the only open space in the corner of the room and sat down.

This is……

What are you going to do?

Melville looked at Zuo Chang, puzzled.

Zuo Chang turned his head and asked, "You have an alchemy school, so you should be able to summon 'chemical mist', right?"

Melville nodded blankly: "Yes. I can summon healing chemical fog, or I can summon poison fog."

"No treatment or poisonous fog is needed. What we need to do now is utilize the fog's most basic mechanism to conceal our forms."

"Ha...that's not a problem."

Melville cast a spell briefly, summoning white mist.

The fountain room was already shrouded in mist, but it wasn't thick; one could vaguely see the entire room from the doorway. After Melville cast his spell, he found that the white mist he summoned was too thick and unusually conspicuous.

This doesn't provide any stealth effect; in fact, it makes you more exposed.

There was no other way, so she began to make careful adjustments.

Continue to adjust.

Zuo Chang couldn't stand it any longer and said with his hands in his pockets, "Why not just cover the whole room and increase the concentration of the fog? You... have no sense."

"..."

Melville wanted to refute him; she wanted to tell Zuo Chang that her spellcasting skills were extremely advanced!

However, Zuo Chang's words make sense.
