"Then what are we still waiting here for? Let’s go save him quickly," Tang Zhong shouted.

"A dragon’s lament signifies that a dragon is about to die. If we’re not very close, we won’t make it in time," Ling Xing said.

"But why do I feel like it’s right around here?" Tang Zhong said.

"Impossible, are you joking with me?" Ling Xing replied.

"How could I be joking with you?" Tang Zhong said.

Actually, he was joking with Ling Xing.

Ling Xing was the only dragon he had met. If he wanted to enter the Dragon Realm, he needed Ling Xing’s help. If Ling Xing stayed in this state, even if they returned to the Dragon Realm, it might have been destroyed for years.

So now Tang Zhong had to help Ling Xing snap out of it.

But Ling Xing didn’t know Tang Zhong was joking with him and was trying to sense the dragon’s location.

She closed her eyes and began to sense the direction.

Tang Zhong watched Ling Xing so seriously from the side and felt a bit guilty. If he told her he was joking, would she be particularly disappointed? But he had to tell her.

After all, if Ling Xing sensed nothing, she’d feel deceived. He needed to prepare her for that.

Suddenly, Ling Xing opened her eyes, gasping for air, and without saying a word, roared and transformed into a pink giant dragon, flying into the sky.

Tang Zhong saw her fly off and was stunned. He quickly shouted after her, "What are you doing?"

But Ling Xing ignored him, continuing to fly.

Tang Zhong didn’t hesitate, transformed into a giant dragon, and followed her immediately, wanting to find out what was happening.

The two dragons flew together in the sky.

"I was just saying, if you don’t find anything, that’s right, because I was just talking nonsense. Don’t blame me; I just wanted to motivate you," Tang Zhong explained next to her.

He just hoped she wouldn’t get angry. In his view, given Ling Xing’s current behavior, she must have been angry.

"Follow me; stop talking. The dragon’s nearby," Ling Xing said.

Tang Zhong was about to speak, but was stunned by what he heard, and asked her to repeat it, "What did you say? Say it again."

Ling Xing replied, "I said the dragon is nearby. Let’s head over now."

This time, Tang Zhong understood. The dragon really was nearby. He was taken aback, never expecting this, as he was just making things up.

So he was really shocked now.

If Ling Xing said it was there, then it must be there.

It was a dragon companion.

Now Tang Zhong was a bit excited.

They flew through the sky, overlooking the Earth.

Mountains and rivers appeared tiny.

There were people and monster beasts below, but they seemed like ants.

Tang Zhong watched the ground closely and realized they had left the borders of the Cangye Kingdom and entered another country.

"Can you pinpoint the direction?" Tang Zhong asked Ling Xing.

"Yes, it’s right around here." Ling Xing’s voice was clearly trembling.

It was a frenzied tremble.

The desire to find a companion like that was what a member of the Dragon Clan should be.

They continued flying.

Below, they reached a city.

This city didn’t look as grand as the Cangye Kingdom’s capital; it looked quite ordinary.

They landed on a mountain a hundred miles from the city.

Ling Xing transformed back into human form and anxiously said, "It’s strange, why did the aura completely disappear at this moment?"

Tang Zhong also transformed back into human form and said, "Don’t worry now, try sensing it carefully."

Ling Xing immediately closed her eyes and started sensing again, but quickly opened her eyes, "The aura is still gone."

Tang Zhong thought for a few seconds and said, "Could it be that it’s dead?"

After a dragon dies, there’s no aura left.

Ling Xing was dazed for a few seconds and said, "Maybe..."

Just then, the lamenting sound suddenly came again.

Both Tang Zhong and Ling Xing heard it and opened their eyes wide.

The dragon was not dead...

"Quick, sense the position," Tang Zhong shouted.

Ling Xing closed her eyes and frantically sensed, finally opening her eyes, "I couldn’t sense any aura..."

"Impossible," Tang Zhong rubbed his chin thoughtfully, "Could it be that it’s right nearby, so you can’t find it? Maybe we should go to a populated place to look."

"Alright." Ling Xing agreed.

Tang Zhong and Ling Xing headed forward immediately.

The city appeared in front of them.

They were unsure what country this was, but it was surrounded by desert, and the City of Sand ahead was similar to a desert city.

It looked very poor.

The city gates were dilapidated, basically dirt walls.

But there were a lot of people wanting to enter the city.

These people didn’t seem simple; many of them led monsters similar to camels, but much larger, almost the size of elephants.

On those camel beasts, there were many bundles, which seemed to be goods.

Tang Zhong saw these and roughly understood what the city was for; it’s a commercial nation.

They entered the city with ease.

"Have you sensed anything?" Tang Zhong asked.

Ling Xing shook her head, "No."

"Then we keep searching," Tang Zhong said.

He continued to look, searching for the dragon’s traces.

At that moment, a voice came to his ear, a man dressed as a beast tamer, looking like a monkey, shouted nearby, "Tonight, outside the City of Sand, in the circus, there will be a demon beast performance, everyone, be sure to come and support."

As soon as the circus performance was mentioned, people went up to ask the monkey-like man.

"What kind of demon beasts are there?"

"Yeah."

The monkey-like man smiled mysteriously, "You want to know? Just come tonight. There will be quite a show."

Finally, the man gave a lewd smile, "Besides the demon beast performance, there are other shows. At midnight, it’s hot and thrilling, performances you can’t even imagine."

Hearing this, the people around got ideas.

"Alright, we’ll go tonight."

"Haven’t seen a demon beast performance in a long time, I really miss it."

Any sensible person knew what kind of show would be on at night.

A big group of men were ready to head to the circus that night.

After entertaining others, the monkey-like man saw Tang Zhong and said, "Brother, are you coming tonight? It’s loads of fun."

Tang Zhong said, "Not interested."

The monkey-like man said sneakily, "How can you not be interested? Coming to the City of Sand to do business is very boring. After finishing business, you can relax. We have certain services... want to try?"
