The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 826

The group ventured into the ruins of a blown-up, abandoned building.

Not even fifty meters in, Jax's powerful flashlight picked up a wild boar's mangled body, covered in blood and flesh.

The boar's hooves had been blasted off, and it was unmistakably dead.

"Hey, Chloe, look at this! There really were wild boars here. That dumbass was actually right this time," Jax said.

“I see it.”

Chloe was irritated. The wild boar’s appearance meant she had lost her excuse to give Daniel a hard time. Without a good reason, how could she teach that troublemaker a lesson?

Daniel walked over to the boar’s blasted carcass and started examining it closely.

"This boar was definitely possessed by a ghost," he said with a serious face.

"Possessed by a ghost? You little rascal, how can you say this boar was possessed by a ghost? Don’t tell me the dead boar told you?” Chloe teased.

"Yeah! The dead boar told me!” Daniel replied earnestly.

"What? You're saying this dead boar told you? It's dead, how could it talk?" Chloe asked with a chuckle.

“Yep! Even though it's dead, it left a last message. It told me it was possessed by an evil spirit while it was alive. That’s why it got blown up. Oh, and that evil spirit? It was raised by Evil Raiser, passed down through generations for nearly a hundred years now!”

"Evil spirit? Hundred years? Evil Raiser? Who’s gonna believe this bull?! If this dead boar left a last message, then let me hear it!" Chloe scoffed.

Pointing at the smoke swirling up but not dispersing, Daniel said to Chloe, “Chloe, look, the dead boar is giving you its last words.”

“Last words? Where? I don’t see or hear anything,” Chloe said, puzzled.

“A dead boar’s last words naturally come in the form of a will!”

Daniel pointed to the swirling smoke and said, “This smoke is the boar's will!”

“Rascal, stop with the bull. This smoke is just smoke. How can it be a will? A will should have words! Look at this smoke. Where are the words?”

Chloe crossed her arms again, determined to force Daniel into a reasonable explanation.
