Cultivation Simulator: Shocking the Academy-Chapter 456 - 309: This Dragon Maiden Is Too Powerful

Looking at the golden dragon's panicked appearance, Luo Chen couldn't help but feel a bit emotional. He comforted, "It's not your fault. The pond's water decreases little by little each year, making it hard for anyone to notice. It's like the boiling frog metaphor; by the time the frog senses danger, it's already too late to escape."

The golden dragon was even more fearful after hearing Luo Chen's metaphor. It said anxiously, "What should I do? I'm trapped in this valley and can't use my mana to leave. When this pond dries up, I will be roasted by the sun..." By the end, it was almost on the verge of tears.

Luo Chen looked at the pitiful dragon and was lost for words. However, he knew this was no time for mockery and they needed to solve the problem quickly, so he hurriedly reassured, "Don't worry, there must be a way."

The golden dragon's eyes brightened instantly, as if seeing the dawn of hope. It eagerly asked, "What is your solution? Tell me quickly!" At this moment, it had completely set aside its previous arrogance and dignity in hopes of survival.

Luo Chen found the dragon's eagerness somewhat amusing, but he still spoke seriously, "There is a way, but you and I need to work together to implement it." Saying this, he explained his plan in detail to the golden dragon. He intended to use the dragon's strength in combination with his own intellect to find a passage out of here. Although the plan was fraught with uncertainty and danger, it was much better than waiting to die. After hearing Luo Chen's plan, the dragon nodded in agreement repeatedly, and thus began their collaborative journey. In the following days, they explored far and wide during the day and rested by the pond at night. Life was extremely tough, but they never gave up hope. Over time, their relationship gradually warmed, evolving from adversaries to mutual support. Together, they faced many life-and-death trials and forged a valuable friendship.

Finally, one day, through their tireless efforts, they found a secret passage leading out of the valley. The moment the golden dragon and Luo Chen walked out of the valley, they hugged each other tightly in excitement, as if reborn. The sunlight poured over them, warm and bright; at that moment, they knew they had finally escaped the clutches of the Death God.

"Of course, you're not worried about turning into dried meat!" the golden dragon yelled angrily, glaring at you with its huge dragon eyes full of dissatisfaction and anxiety.

Luo Chen smiled faintly, maintaining his calmness as he slowly spoke, "There is a solution..."

"What solution?" the golden dragon asked eagerly, its huge dragon head leaning closer to Luo Chen, full of anticipation.

"It's quite simple." Luo Chen said mysteriously after a pause, "Remove the barrier of Sunset Forest..."

"Foolish human!" the golden dragon sneered, interrupting him, "You think removing a barrier is that easy? If it were possible, I would have left here long ago."

Luo Chen was rendered speechless by the dragon's response. Indeed, his previous suggestion was somewhat unrealistic. He awkwardly rubbed his nose, quickly thinking about how to proceed next.

Suddenly, the golden dragon became restless, "No, no, I must leave here." Its massive body crawled onto the beach, moving back and forth and stirring up sand and stones.

Seeing this, Luo Chen hurriedly calmed it, "Don't worry, I have two more practical solutions."

Upon hearing this, the golden dragon immediately stopped its agitated movement and turned to look at Luo Chen, "Tell me." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"First, inform your Brother Long to come and rescue you." Luo Chen proposed the first solution.

A spark of hope appeared in the golden dragon's gaze, "That's feasible... but who will notify him?"

"Of course, I will." Luo Chen immediately volunteered, showing a confident smile.

However, the golden dragon looked scornfully at him, "You? You think you can find Brother Long?"

Luo Chen was slightly defiant in response to the dragon's scorn, "Ahem... That's just the first solution; there's also a second way." He coughed a few times to conceal his embarrassment.

"What's the second one?" the golden dragon asked curiously.

"The second method is a bit simpler." Luo Chen began to elaborate, "I've walked through this valley before. Judging by the terrain, the water source of this valley seems to have been cut off somewhere. As long as we reconnect the cut-off water source and clear the river channel, the pond will be restored to its former water level. Although you can't leave here, you won't need to worry about the pond drying up."

After hearing Luo Chen's explanation, the golden dragon pondered for a moment, "Although it's a foolish solution... it could work. So, who will help me reconnect the water source and clear the river channel?"

"Of course, I will." Luo Chen once again stood up bravely.

Looking at Luo Chen's determined eyes, the golden dragon's anxiety was slightly alleviated, "Alright, if you can help me solve this problem, I, the golden dragon, will heavily reward you."
