The Almighty Dragon General novel Chapter 4048

James and Dahlia returned to the Soul Realm and arrived outside the Hopeless City.

The Hopeless City was heavily guarded that day. Many guards from the Soul Race were stationed outside the city gate. In front of the gate stood a three-meter-high green boulder with mysterious inscriptions carved onto it.

“Wait.” Dahlia immediately stopped James.

James turned behind and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Dahlia pointed at the green boulder outside the city gate and said, “Do you see that green boulder?”

James looked in the direction she pointed, nodded, and said, “Yeah. What’s wrong with it?”

Dahlia said, “That’s a magical treasure created by the Ten Great Races. It’s specifically used to identify the aura of humans. Once it detects a human, it will react strangely. It also emits a light beam that can sense humans.”

Hearing this, James took a few steps backward and cautiously stared at the green boulder.

Dahlia said, “Normally, it will only be able to tell that we’re humans when we get close to it. Additionally, its range can be expanded by a powerhouse. The inscriptions on it will spread out and search for humans in the area. Seeing that they have it at the city gate, they must be trying to prevent humans from entering the city.”

James frowned and asked, “Then what should we do?”

“How would I know?”

“Let’s go somewhere else first,” said James.

James thought for a moment and said, “Our only option is to sneak into the Hopeless City and try to get more information about the situation.”

“…But how are we going to manage to sneak in?” fretted Dahlia.

James shook his head, unable to devise a plan.

Since there was a treasure at the city gates capable of detecting humans, they must also have similar treasures inside the city. Even if they snuck in, it would be hard to do anything without revealing themselves.

Suddenly, James remembered the Ursas’ power. Their power was capable of imitating any other kind of power. If he could learn it, then he could use it to mimic other races’ soul auras and would be able to explore the Hopeless City freely.
