Night of Despair-Chapter 475 - 473 fate three

"Jiafei, how are you feeling? Are your injuries any better?" Inside the Dragon Cave.

Father Anxi looked at his daughter soaking in the Healing Medicine Spring with deep concern.

He had never imagined that just after a short trip, his wife and daughter would return covered in wounds. Some injuries even seemed nearly fatal.

This not only startled him but also filled him with deep anger.

"I’m actually okay, but mom, she’s in worse shape. If it weren’t for a few human friends I know, we might not have made it back." Gabriela said with lingering fear.

"It must be the Louis Empire... I can guess what force it is..." As a former Dragon King, Anxi was well informed about many things.

He knew the emperor there was offering a bounty for Dragon Crystals.

"I will help you get revenge! Don’t worry!" Anxi declared seriously.

"That’s not the point, father..." Gabriela hesitated.

She was also uncertain whether to mention the warning Yu Hong gave her because that warning sounded somewhat absurd.

"Do you believe that a massive disaster will sweep across the world?" Gabriela whispered.

"Disaster?" Anxi asked in surprise, "Are you talking about the wrath of the Supreme God?"

"No... it’s not that, but a pure disaster..." Gabriela shook her head.

"Don’t joke around, child. See the stars in the sky? Those are the Divine Countries held aloft by the Divine beings. If there’s any great disaster, they would be the first to react." Anxi laughed.

"But..." Gabriela wanted to say more. But her father was already talking about getting medicine and leaving.

She was left alone, soaking in the Medicine Spring, sighing deeply.

In the days that followed, Yu Hong’s words before leaving lingered in her mind.

The more she thought about it, the more sincere and earnest the other person’s tone seemed.

Her injuries rapidly improved.

The White Dragons deployed hunting teams, beginning to harass and hunt along the borders of the Louis Empire.

Each time, they returned loaded with spoils, though sometimes they came back injured and angry, losing a few members.

Every time Gabriela stood at the cave entrance, she could hear dragons talking about the skirmishes with the Empire.

War broke out completely.

But Gabriela didn’t know why; she always felt an inexplicable unease in her heart.

She mentioned the disaster to her father again, but he thought she was being deceived.

Even if Yu Hong had saved them, could Yu Hong and the others not be fooled?

These words left Gabriela speechless.

But the growing unease in her heart made her realize she couldn’t convince her parents, so she decided to take action herself.

In another secluded ice cave on White Dragon Mountain.

Gabriela gathered with her two dragon friends.

"Mary, Dorsha, we must take action. I found that they completely disregard our concerns." Gabriela gathered these two female dragons mainly because they, like her, were also convinced of the impending disaster.

"Yes! Jiafei is right! We need to act!" Mary raised her paw and shouted loudly.

"Yes! That’s right! Jiafei is the best! By the way, when can we have cake? I want cake!" The other, Dorsha, licked her front paw, blinking as she spoke.

"So you need to cooperate with me, follow my instructions, okay!?" Gabriela said seriously.

"Okay!"

"Jiafei is the best!"

The two dragon friends cheered with their young voices.

Yes, they were only two years old and were truly young White Dragons.

But it didn’t matter. Gabriela’s eyes shone with determination. From the moment they said they believed in her and believed in the impending disaster, they became her best friends!

"Now we need to establish our own secret base to prepare for possible disasters. Tell me, where should the secret base be built? I know the hardest material within the clan is the Golden Dragon Stone, used to craft Long Tomb Coffins!" Gabriela proposed.

"How about Myriad Dragon Mountain? There’s not much people there, and I’ve secretly gone there to eat candy. And Dad didn’t find out." Mary suggested.

"That’s a good idea." Gabriela nodded. "But that place is used for rituals. If we’re discovered... we’ll be punished."

"No problem, my grandpa is the High Priest, he won’t blame us." Dorsha said indifferently. "As long as I kiss him, it will be quickly settled."

"Well done, Dorsha!" Gabriela nodded vigorously.

Soon, without anyone believing her, Gabriela started building on White Dragon Mountain with the pretense of playing games with the two young dragons.

A small hidden base made of Golden Dragon Stone, able to accommodate a dozen White Dragons, slowly took shape.

Gabriela couldn’t make it any bigger due to limited materials and space.

Moreover, she just wanted to ensure the safety of herself, her family, and friends first.

So, she decided to give it a go.

A month later.

As the sun set in the west.

All the dragons on White Dragon Mountain were resting in their caves.

This was the time of day for eating and resting.

Anxi and the current Dragon King Asido were sitting together, pondering the war map in front of them.

"I heard your daughter is secretly building some kind of absolutely safe base?" Asido the Dragon King asked softly.

"Just playing house, leave her be. Although Golden Dragon Stone is precious, it can be dismantled and reused when needed." Anxi didn’t care.

"You’re generous. The four human empires are now subtly starting to unite, and the Dragon God has asked us to pause, to stop wanton slaughtering of civilians and agitating human negative sentiment toward the Dragon Clan." Asido explained. "What do you think?"

"You’re the Dragon King, the decision is yours."

"Then we continue. Haha, humans only start to fear when they know it’s too late. Do they really think we’ve been at peace for so long that we’ve lost our claws?" The Dragon King laughed heartily.

"Then... will you let my daughter’s sneaky use of Illusion Dragon Sand for the array setup slide?" Anxi laughed.

"You’ve cast your vote for me as an Elder; what can I say?" Asido laughed. "But you can’t just indulge Gabriela without limits. After all, she’s no longer a child and is getting close to Level Seven as a Mage. At this level, she’s not weak and, with her ability, could easily cause some real trouble."

"Sigh." Anxi sighed heavily, "Let her experiment at least; let her vent some pent-up emotions."

"You’re spoiling her too much." Asido said helplessly.

Anxi was well aware of this, but every time he saw his daughter’s big pitiful eyes, he couldn’t help but soften inside and unknowingly agree to her various messy requests.

As a result, at least a third of his private stash of rare materials had vanished!

After saying goodbye to the Dragon King and heading home.

As soon as he entered the cave, he saw Gabriela approaching him proactively.

"Father! I’m still missing some Majestic Stone, and then I can finish setting up the Fourth Layer Defense Magic Array! With Golden Dragon Stone plus four layers of high-grade barrier magic array, the defensive power would be dozens of times stronger than our cave! This is what truly makes an absolutely safe base!"

Gabriela seemed a bit addicted to building the safe base.

The feeling of being nestled safely inside, untouched by anything outside, was just too gratifying.

"Uh... doesn’t your mother have more than me?" Anxi said awkwardly, wanting to refuse. His reserves were running low too.

"Ah, mom gave all hers to me. She’s also helping me build the base now!" Gabriela replied happily.

"I think our daughter’s base is quite nice, feels very cozy to lay inside." Wife Shaning also came out laughing.

"Yes, yes! Once the door is closed, even a Forbidden Curse couldn’t break it now!" Gabriela exclaimed with excitement.

"Ah... but I..." Anxi wanted to resist further.

But seeing his daughter’s big eyes once again staring intently at him.

His heart wavered.

"Well, uh..."

"Father! Didn’t you say I’m your favorite before?" Gabriela called out sweetly.

Immediately, Anxi shivered all over.

"Alright, alright... go ahead and take it yourself, here’s the key..." he quickly handed over his treasure vault’s key.

Then watched his daughter joyfully run off with the key.

Anxi sighed deeply.

Ouch.

He slapped his own paw hard.

"Darn it... why am I so spineless!! Didn’t I resolve yesterday to hold the line no matter what!?"

Sigh....

Black Black Spirit.

Yu Hong, Ku Chan, and Chi Xiao gathered at the window, watching the strange mass of human faces passing by outside.

They resembled a meteor shower, sweeping the safe house along at great speed in the direction they came from.

And not just that.

"Look at the flow of colored light outside." Yu Hong said in a deep voice.

"This flow is also headed in the direction we came from, meaning that this flow should have suddenly changed. At least we didn’t experience this on the way here."

"Do you mean that maybe something happened on the White Dragon World side that caused the Source Disaster’s torrent to change, like an environment under high pressure suddenly finding a release point, directing all flows in that direction?" Ku Chan analyzed.

"That’s a possibility, and it’s likely that we’re near that release point, which is why we’re being swept back." Yu Hong nodded.

"Currently, the Array’s situation is okay, it’s almost fully recovered. But the colored light outside is extremely corrosive, capable of eroding almost all substances and power. I’ve observed that only Spirit Light, which is also from Source Disaster Power, gets corroded the slowest. So the Array’s current defensive strategy is actually to constantly consume Spirit Light, allowing the outside corrosion to happen, and then continuously replenishing it to maintain defense." Ku Chan explained.

"Can you calculate how long until we’re back to White Dragon World?" Yu Hong asked.

"With uncertain direction and route, we’re not returning directly; however, if we simulate the water flow trajectory, it will take about a week to get back." Ku Chan simply said.

"Why so long?" Chi Xiao frowned.

"Because we came in a straight line, but we’re going back in a circling curve." Ku Chan replied.

"Next, we need to conduct a rough assessment of possible dangers we might face. The outbreak of Source Disaster can’t just be the seemingly harmless stream of human face meteors." Yu Hong stated.

"I’ll do it. How about we preliminarily name this disaster Wind Disaster, is that okay?" Ku Chan asked.

"Okay." Yu Hong also thought it was fitting.

"Next, I need to constantly monitor the Array and protection levels. After confirming everything’s stable, we need to collect some sample materials from the outside for analysis and research to strengthen the Black Black Spirit’s targeted defensive power."

"Understood!"

"I’ll cooperate!"

"I’ll cook!"

The three loudly responded.
