The Demon Swordsman 2
Ch. 350 - Climbing Tower II
Ye Long flapped his wings, climbing the next footing which was quite steep. Almost twenty times he complained, not accepting being treated like a lizard. Its large enough body extends the roof of the castle building. They almost reached the highest peak. Despite silently climbing the tower, Ye Long repeatedly let out a noisy sound that provoked the attention of people inside the tower.
The sound of Ye Long's footing on the roof turned out to make important people who were holding meetings inside alert. They told the soldiers to check what was going on above.
Aware things started to deteriorate, Ye Long flew to a higher place next to him. Next to them was an empty room, if only someone was inside then the two of them would be instantly discovered. Xin Chen patted his back, feeling the sound of footsteps about to enter the room.
Ye Long moved again. This time his footing was not strong enough to hold Ye Long's body weight until the ruins fell. The sound of the crowd was heard from within. The illumination began to highlight to where Ye Long and Xin Chen were. The dragon looked panicked as it moved to another place. Without thinking long Ye Long flew to a higher footing. They were getting closer to the top of the tower.
Ye Long spread his wings and climbed onto the upper terrace in the middle of which was filled with a bell. A noisy step hurriedly climbed to the place where Ye Long and Xin Chen were.
Time was running low, Ye Long darted quickly up the top of the tower. From there they could see the entire headquarters without exception. From a height where Ye Long stood the wind blew. Ye Long opened his eyes looking down.
"We have to get through that wall."
Ye Long turned his head where Xin Chen was. He's back a little way back. Take the horses to fly high. The dragon's pitch-black eyes flashed brightly, he developed wide wings. For a few seconds they were plunged free downwards until Ye Long finally started flapping his wings. At such a high speed no one realized that the black shadow above the sky was a dragon of considerable size.
"I don't fly anymore if you don't give me food."
"It's not been a week. You promised not to come out before the time came."
"I count it like five years of not eating. Can I come down for a second? Maybe there's one or two humans I can eat downstairs." Ye Long was attracted by the sheer number of humans moving beneath him like ants. If you are hungry, want wood, stone or man it feels can be swallowed by it.
"Don't look for trouble, Rubber Stomach Lizard. I'll give you some food. We gotta hurry."
"good. Dear Lord of the Majingan. Already told to climb like a lizard, now told to deliver him where he likes. There really is no brain."

The sky started to clear, so Xin Chen told Ye Long to descend in an area overgrown by dense trees. It would be a problem if Ye Long flew in during the day, people could clearly see him. The dragon dropped itself carelessly, making two trees collapse at once. It was not that Ye Long was in pain to eat the wood and the leaves on the tree like buffalo.
He just realized Xin Chen had already walked a long way, Ye Long immediately followed him from behind. He stopped moving for a moment, his pupils shrinking while his ears followed the direction of the voice distracting him.
Xin Chen turned his head to find Ye Long was silent with strange gestures.
"You hear what?"
"That voice ..." Ye Long shook his head, "Just the sound of buffalo from a distance. I thought I'd see you there for a second"
Xin Chen pulled out his ear instead. Holding down Ye Long who had wanted to move immediately.
"That's right." Ye Long stood up until his stomach was visible. "You see my stomach has tripled like this? Only the skin was left, previously full of meat and fruits. Now I can hold eating for weeks. It seems that when I'm with you I feel a little thinner. Give me back my old, prosperous life! The glory days of my stomach"
"Whispering."
Ye Long could see his master closing his ears. Tired of hearing his complaints that extended to and fro. In the middle of the road Ye Long met a herd of deer. Their size could be said to be large, two tails alone was enough to make his stomach full.
Xin Chen felt the earth was like an earthquake as Ye Long leaped after the deer. He clucked, indeed the dragon was the smartest to make his head dizzy.
Ye Long jumped off a high branch, pouncing on one of the deer. Not yet biting the deer he had just caught, Ye Long switched to chasing another deer. Taking advantage of that opportunity the deer that Ye Long had almost eaten escaped as fast as lightning.
The second catch managed to escape, Ye Long looked at where his first deer had escaped.
His eyes turned to look at Xin Chen who only saw him pity.
"You hear a proverb?"
"No need. Thank you," Ye Long replied. He did not realize his eyes were already glazed. Not a single deer was caught. The dragon ducked, biting the branches of the moody tree. Xin Chen must have laughed at him.
The sound of deer screams rang out, the birds flying high above the trees. Ye Long raised his face and saw Xin Chen return with a deer that was not too big. Eyes twinkling.
"After this do not be noisy anymore to question the worms and your stomach."
Ye Long devoured the still-blooded deer raw. He went for a while, ascending to the highest branch to see a settlement not so far from this forest. The border area was still quite far away, it would probably take half a day to get there considering in the letter Xin Zhan said he lost track of Ren Yuan upon entering the border.
Ye Long swallowed part of the elk thigh in one bite. He looks very happy.
"Once in a while an employer who becomes a babu is good too."
"Now back. I have to get out of here before I suspect."
"There are people here? I didn't see anyone." Ye Long twisted his body, he saw nothing. Some time Ye Long just realized that the forest near them was opposite a road that is usually crossed by horse-drawn carriages.
Ye Long disappeared in the blink of an eye, remaining Xin Chen who was hiding behind a row of trees. The atmosphere of the forest that was so quiet made every movement within the forest sound clear. The sound of horse-footed footprints and the clanking of weapons began to approach. As the carriage passed by, Xin Chen immediately moved from where he was hiding.
