Chapter 35: Bing a Dragon
Trantor: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Having eaten flesh and drunk blood, they too would be spirits capable of undergoing dragon transformation, and some demonic spirits were just one opportunity away from leaping over the Dragon Gate!
However, the Great Alligator Spirit stood in their way, relying on its robust physique; the Great Alligator Spirit bit to death quite a few of the leading little demons, but how could it withstand such arge group of pond demons!
Before long, the body of the Great Alligator Spirit was covered with bite marks, its blood mixing with the dragon blood; yet the stubborn Great Alligator Spirit did not retreat an inch, using its alligator horn to impale a century-old demon sawfish and with a swipe of its w, it crushed a frog spirit, then charged like a wild beast, knocking away all the monsters that tried to climb onto the Jiaolong!
“Ohoooo!!!!!!”
The fierce and violent howling of Big ck Tooth managed to intimidate the group of little demons for a moment, but there were some others near the waterfall, beings of the same caliber as the Violent Catfish, whose silhouettes gradually appeared around the pond, lying in wait, growling unceasingly.
All around were roars, and the dying Zhan River Dragon opened its heavy eyes. It saw a big ck crocodile dyed red with blood, it saw the densely packed water demons in the pond…
The life of the Zhan River Dragon was nearing its end, but it never expected to see a familiar Little Crocodile Spirit before its dying breath.
It was still so weak, clearly not having even crossed the Dragon Gate.
But up until now, it had not let a single demone near it.
“Ugh- ” The Zhan River Dragon called out weakly, signaling to ck Tooth to leave this ce, as it would sooner orter be torn to shreds by these demons.
“Ohohoh!!!!!!”
ck Tooth roared, not moving an inch from its spot.
It once again pounced on a century-old pike fish, using its ws and ck teeth to tear it to shreds, the water of the pond, just cleansed by the waterfall, was again stained red with fresh blood, among which also flowed the crocodile blood surging from ck Tooth’s back.
“Ohoh!!!!!!”
ck Tooth simply would not submit.
In its continuous roars, it warned every demon in the pond while conveying to the Zhan River Dragon that it could not die, the only thing that could defeat it in this world was itself!
Yes, in the small world understood by ck Tooth, the Zhan River Dragon was the strongest being.
ck Tooth’s goal was to surpass this Jiaolong.
Perhaps witnessing the Zhan River Dragon fall to such a fate also shocked ck Tooth.
The Jiaolong could be defeated??
This made ck Tooth realize that there were beings stronger than the Jiaolong in this world, it became aware that the entire world was far broader than what it had seen…
But what of it!
It remembered the strength of the Zhan River Dragon, and even more so, the tenderness it showed when catching it from the waterfall.
Being strong doesn’t have to be like the wolf spirits in the Reserve Dragons Storage Hall, bullying everything weaker.
It could also be gentle.
Dragon Taming Academy
In the Rehabilitation Pavilion, an old man from the Reserve Dragons sat inside with a grave expression.
“What’s the matter?” The old man recognized Zhu Minng, and he recognized Duan Lan even more.
“Teacher Duan Lan has been attacked in the Spirit Realm, her spirit is injured, and she has fallen into aa,” Zhu Minng informed the old man of the situation.
“It’s not just aa, she’ll be dead if it’s slower by a bit. Little Pear, help her up,” the old man said to the woman beside him.
The woman called Little Pear responded, and it was clear that she was specifically skilled in healing people and dragons, her movements extremely adept.
“Zhu Minng, Zhu Minng!”
Just as Zhu Minng was feeling extremely anxious, Hong Hao’s shout came from outside the door.
“This has nothing to do with you, we’ll do our best to save her life. I’ll inform the dean about the matter you mentioned, but you’d better go to the Li Imperial Pce yourself and state all the facts; this is no trivial matter,” said the old master from the Reserve Dragons.
Zhu Minng nodded, quickly left the Rehabilitation Pavilion, for there was nothing he could do here.
As soon as he stepped out of the pavilion, Hong Hao came running over with a face full of excitement, urgently saying, “A girl said your Little Crocodile Dragon is being besieged by a group of demons under the waterfall, hurry over there.”
Zhu Minng’s expression changed, and he rushed toward the waterfall.
“Whoooo——-”
Bai Qi glided down from the top of the pavilion, its white wings outspread, pure and noble.
Catching the ws of the Ice Morning White Dragon that flew over his head, Zhu Minng and the White Dragon glided into the air together…
Hong Hao stood in ce, staring nkly at the stunning departure of the man and dragon.
How could it be that in just a month, the Ice Morning White Dragon had already be extraordinary, and Zhu Minng more like a mysterious and unfathomable master!
Frost descended abruptly, and patches of clean down feathers fell upon the pond, like a sudden holy snowfall, even turning the sshing mist into frost.
Falling from above the waterfall, Zhu Minnznded in front of the Zhan River Dragon and ck Tooth, surrounded by the bodies of little demons, those with throats torn out, those torn to pieces, those crushed to bits…
The bodies nearly nketed the entire pond, making the pond look as if painted in striking red paint!!
And on the central rock of the pond,y a blue Jiaolong, gasping for breath.
Next to the blue Jiaolong, a badly injured Little Crocodile Dragony, its naturally ck body now dyed a bright crimson with the blood of enemies mixed with its own, congealed together.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Minng’s throat welled up with endless sorrow, and his eyes grew moist.
He walked over to the Little Crocodile Dragon and slowly crouched down beside it, embracing the scarred Little ck Tooth.
“Wuu wuu—” The Great Alligator Spirit, seeing Zhu Minng approaching, finally let go of all its toughness, clinging to Zhu Minng like an injured child.
“Bai Qi, kill them,” Zhu Minng said to Bai Qi.
At that moment, his gaze swept across the myriad little demons around the pool, eyes filled with cold fury.
The temperament of the Ice Morning White Dragon matched Zhu Minng’s exactly. It slowly levitated, dominating all of the deep pool’s water demons from above and looking down upon these greedy, ordinary demons!
“Yuuu!!!!!”
With a long cry, the Ice Morning White Dragon’s body producedrge shards of ice crystals, that glimmeringly attached to each feather and plume, as if donning a sacred armor, making the originally soft-feathered Ice Morning White Dragon appear majestic like a monarch!
“Yuuu!!!!”
The crystal wings unfolded suddenly, and instantly a chilling coldness swept in all directions.
This freezing breath was tyrannical enough to turn flowing waterfalls into ciers. And those demon spirits on the surface of the pool, already fleeing in panic, did not realize that the eyes of the God of Death had already locked onto them!
“Crack crack———”
The surface of the water froze over, thick as rock, and those demons still fancied diving deep into the pool to escape, but their retreats had already been anticipated by the Ice Morning White Dragon.
“Crack crack——-”
Standing on the blocks of ice, those little demons found themselves stiff all over, soon they didn’t even have the strength to run, their bodies slowly sticking to the thick ice below.
First, their skin and muscles turned into frost; next, their flesh and bones froze into ice; finally, even the blood flowing through their bodies solidifiedpletely.
One after another, ice sculptures appeared on the surface ot the pool; the murderous Bai Qi allowed none of the attackers to escape. They lost all signs of life, frozen on the ice.
“Hoo hoo hoo hoo!!!!”
The windshed fiercely onto the frozen cascade and pool, hitting the frozen bodies of the water demons as well.
Though all were of flesh and bone, they began to disintegrate in the wind into countless dust particles of frost, like minute grains of white sand. “Little ck Tooth, you protected the Zhan River Dragon; it’s not dead…” The Zhan River Dragon was still alive!
It seemed to have been knocked into the Li Chuan River and then washed by the fierce current to the waterfall.
Without Little ck Tooth guarding it with its life, the Zhan River Dragon would have surely been devoured by those demons.
Zhu Minng looked at Big ck Tooth, too exhausted to even stand, and felt an honest sense of pride.
Well done.
This spirit was by no means an ordinary one from the murky ponds!
He called for instructors from the Dragon Taming Academy. They carried the Zhan River Dragon back, and with teachers who could treat dragon beasts present, the Zhan River Dragon should be able to avoid life-threatening danger. Hopefully, Teacher Duan Lan would wake up and findfort in seeing the Zhan River Dragon still alive.
After settling Little ck Tooth, Zhu Minng knew he still had something very important to do.
“Heal well; I will be back soon, ” Zhu Minng said, holding the Great Alligator Spirit’s head and rubbing it with his forehead as he instructed.
The Great Alligator Spirit obedientlyy in the healing pool. Its pain should also be somewhat alleviated.
Zhu Minng left.
The girl named Little Pear walked over to the healing pool, intending to check Little ck Tooth’s wounds again, preventing any residual toxin from poisonous creatures from worsening the injuries.
“Huh? The flesh that was torn open just now, howe it’s grown back in the blink of an eye…” said Little Pear, puzzled.
Big ck Tooth roared in response, seemingly just as clueless.
“Are you a snake, shedding your skin?” Little Pear frowned, looking at therge chunks of injured skin shedding from Big ck Tooth’s body in the healing pool.
“Oh???” Big ck Tooth turned its head and was startled by the skin peeling off its body. Its four paws iled chaotically in the water.
Is it going to die??? Why is the skin not sticking to its body!!
“Don’t Danic, don’t Danic… Big ck Crocodile, ah… whv is there light in the blood seeping out of you!” eximed Little Pear in surprise.
“Oh! Big ck Tooth looked at its wound again, and indeed, the blood was glowing!
It’s over, it’s doomed, beyond cure!
“Master, Master, something’s wrong, something’s terribly wrong! Little Pear ran flusteredly towards the inner room.
The old master red at the girl in annoyance.
There were already too many patients today, and he was nearly overwhelmed.
“Master, you must look at the Big ck Crocodile, your disciple is scared!” said Little Pear.
The old master was just finishing stitching up the Zhan River Dragon’srge wound. His hands had not even been washed before Little Pear dragged him to the side of the healing pool.
ncing at Big ck Tooth, the old master tapped on his female disciple’s head with his finger.
“What’s all the fuss about, haven’t you ever seen a dragon transformation?” he said.
“Oh, it’s transforming into a dragon… Ah! The Big ck Crocodile is bing a dragon!! Little Pear’s mouth hung open in shock..
