Chapter 1676
Stefan hid behind a rock, waiting for them to change shifts. He knew the security
would be the weakest at that time. He'd heard from Neil that their guards had a
ritual-they would perform a Dragon Dance, their ethnic dance, when they wanted
to change shifts.
Soon, the six guards at the cave and the other six guards who were taking over
started dancing, and Stefan took that opportunity to sneak into the cave through
a side door.
The cave was small but deep, and there was only one lamp in the dark cave. It
was a karst cave with unique stalactites that were shaped like the 12 zodiac
animals-pig, dog, chicken, goat, tiger, and so on.
"I'm sure there must be a dragon here since it's one of the twelve zodiacs."
Stefan eagerly walked into the deepest part of the cave. He could hear the sound
of running water from time to time, and it sounded like the cry of a dragon.
The deepest part of the cave was the highest part of it, and there was a stalactite
there more than ten meters high. It was shaped like a dragon, and it was poised
over a stone pillar. The dragon was gold in colour, and its scales, beard, and
claws looked like it belonged to the dragons of fairy tales. It looked like a flying
dragon that had been cursed into stone-it was amazing.
Stefan stood beneath the dragon and stared up at it, awestruck. Was this the
dragon he had been searching for? If it was, where was the dragon saliva? He
looked around, and suddenly spotted a bronze-like cauldron at the highest spot
in the cave, just below the dragon's head. That cauldron was palm-sized, and
was being held in the dragon's claws. It looked like the dragon was drinking from
it, and Stefan figured it was probably housing the dragon's saliva. He couldn't
dwell on it too much because time was running out, so he rolled up his sleeves
and trousers before climbing up the dragon. The dragon's body was long and
spiraled upwards, and the climb was steep and slippery.
Stefan felt that he was pretty good at climbing, but he slipped and fell countless
times; it was exhausting. After a while, he finally reached the upper body of the
dragon. He reached out and took the cauldron, and saw a clear liquid in it. He
didn't have time to think about where it came from, and just held the cauldron to
himself, preparing to climb down.

Suddenly, he heard Neil's voice a few
meters beneath him. "Oh, my god!
Man, you've got some guts!" Neil fell
to his knees, holding his head
anxiously. “l thought you were joking,
but you actually did it! The villagers
are going to kill you for being
disrespectful, I know they willl" The

Neil had given Stefan the map of the
village because of their agreement,
and he also genuinely wanted to help
Stefan. He knew the mountain paths
were dangerous and the security
outside the cave was strict, so he felt
Stefan would give up and go back.
However, Neil was still worried about
him, so he told the guards at the
memorial chamber that he wanted to
pay respect to the ancestors then
