Chapter 169: Chapter 137: Encirclement of the Zhupo Dragon (Part 2)
Many sunflowers were pierced through by sharp arrows, causing them to lose balance and fall onto the water’s surface, leaving them silent.
The pig-dragon seemed to be waiting patiently; it remained hidden underwater like a meditating monk, never showing itself.
[Name: Swordfish]
[Attribute: Water]
[Level: Tier Three, Level Two]
[Skills: Sprinting (Skilled), Rushing Rapids (Skilled), Water Gun (Skilled), Sharp-beaked Drill (Skilled)]
Many sunflowers completed a counterattack, emerging from the swordfish’s body, and their stems quickly absorbed the swordfish completely.
Next came sharp-jawed shells and poison dart frogs, all tidily handled by the sunflowers.
By this time, the pig-dragon couldn’t sit still any longer.
A giant vortex emerged from the center of the pool, growing larger and larger.
A dark, giant crocodile appeared.
It let out a deafening sound.
In the distance, at the bottom of a cavern in Jiaying River, a colossal figure was sleeping soundly.
Its eyes suddenly opened, revealing golden pupils.
It’s trouble; the pig-dragon is calling for help, indicating it’s facing difficulties.
The poisonous flood dragon anxiously broke out of the cave and surged forward.
This pig-dragon harbors a trace of spatial bloodline and can perform spatial cutting.
Though unsuccessful nine out of ten times, once it succeeds, the surrounding space becomes extremely terrifying.
Everyone who enters the space, whether human or beast, has their bodies sliced apart.
Yet, the thoughts of humans and beasts remain clear, with each shard of the body still alive.
The poisonous flood dragon was severely injured before it inadvertently found this little creature hiding in its former cave.
It originally intended to eliminate the pig-dragon and devour its spatial bloodline to restore its strength.
But the poisonous flood dragon realizes its talent is only just at this level.
Restoring strength is important, but to undergo a complete transformation is also beneficial.
Thus, the poisonous flood dragon went to great lengths to befriend the pig-dragon and helped it break through to Tier Four using a hidden treasure.
From then on, the pig-dragon was entirely obedient to the poisonous flood dragon.
The poisonous flood dragon’s plan was simple, to use the pig-dragon to activate more spatial energy, thereby becoming a major asset for the flood dragon.
Once the pig-dragon was sufficiently nurtured, it planned to devour it to activate its own bloodline.
"Master, it’s likely calling for the poisonous flood dragon,"
"You intercept the flood dragon, I’ll settle this quickly,"
Ye Bai said to Zhang Lingxue.
Zhang Lingxue understood the urgency and said nothing further, especially since the poisonous flood dragon’s head had already poked out.
At this moment, the sun was setting, the waning light falling on Ye Bai and the pig-dragon.
Their eyes met, ready for a life-and-death battle.
The Sunflower Emperor was eager for battle.
Big Gray stood not far from Ye Bai, letting out a deafening roar as its form changed.
The Sharp-beaked Pelican quietly followed Ye Bai to this place.
It witnessed everything firsthand, and the moment the pig-dragon appeared, the pelican knew it was the one that had bitten him.
The Sharp-beaked Pelican was enraged, planning to strike unexpectedly for revenge.
Its goal was to kill the pig-dragon here.
The Sharp-beaked Pelican quietly made its resolution.
"Go ahead, Big Gray, Sunflower Emperor,"
Big Gray had already donned the Thunder Battle Armor, descending like the Thunder God.
Balls of electricity were thrown down without restraint towards below.
The terrifying current spread through the water, causing some beasts lurking beneath the pool to float up belly-up after being electrocuted again.
Golden electric arcs flickered across the pig-dragon’s body, its gaze shimmering.
The current’s strength was merely tickling it.
It pretended to be struck by the electricity, feigning exhaustion while slowly luring Big Gray over.
"Big Gray, don’t approach, keep your distance from the pig-dragon,"
The pig-dragon’s most fearsome aspect was its mouth, if it executed a 720-degree Thomas spin, any beast would be decapitated.
Seeing its scheme uncovered by Ye Bai, the pig-dragon stopped pretending.
[Name: Pig-dragon]
[Gender: Male]
[Attribute: Water/Space]
[Personality: Insidious]
[Level: Tier Four Peak]
[Skills: Water Gun (Skilled): Sprays a rapid stream of water from its mouth to attack opponents.
Loud Roar (Skilled): Opens its large mouth to emit a deafening sound.
Sharp Claw (Skilled): Uses strong claws to attack enemies with guaranteed accuracy.
Water Tornado (Skilled): Summons a terrifying water tornado to attack opponents.
Rain Seeking (Skilled): Summons a dreadful rain to attack, which generally blinds beasts.
Spatial Cutting (Beginner): Summons two spatial blades to attack opponents.]
These skills aren’t many, suggesting the pig-dragon abruptly unlocked its spatial talent.
What is the poisonous flood dragon up to; is it raising the pig-dragon or waiting for something?
Lone-in-favoring creatures like the poisonous flood dragon surely have a purpose in nurturing things.
The Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm split into two clones, the Blood Gu Butterfly Clone and the Light Goddess Butterfly Clone.
The Blood Gu Butterfly Clone was sat upon by the Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm, unable to get up for long.
"Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm, you’re too heavy, get off quickly."
The Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm appeared with a pitiful expression.
"Release your threads, let the Blood Gu Butterfly Clone carry you flying, it could really work."
Ye Bai sat on the Light Goddess Butterfly, looking down at the Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm and said.
The Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm tried this method and its eyes lit up.
After a piercing cry from the pig-dragon’s mouth, it lay immobile in the water, waiting for the poisonous flood dragon.
At this point, a message came through.
[Zhang Lingxue: The poisonous flood dragon is already intercepted, judging by its size, it might have lived for centuries.]
The poisonous flood dragon saw Zhang Lingxue blocking its path, spraying purple gas from its mouth to warn her.
The Gray Poison Moth opened its mouth like a whale, absorbing the vast amount of toxic gas completely.
The poisonous flood dragon was left astonished.
This was instant-death venom, but it’s like you’re drinking milk.
The Gray Poison Moth and the poisonous flood dragon fought ferociously.
The Gray Poison Moth’s wings, hard as steel, scraped across the dragon’s scales, producing an ear-splitting sound.
Sparks gradually rained down.
The sun had completely set, and Zhang Lingxue emitted dazzling light through the Light Goddess Butterfly.
The poisonous flood dragon’s eyes squinted, realizing the human intended to prevent its rescue of the pig-dragon.
This cannot happen.
The pig-dragon was chosen by the poisonous flood dragon as the tool to refine its bloodline, should it perish, the flood dragon would lose a valuable opportunity for bloodline enhancement.
"Alright, it’s night; honestly, the view below is obscured."
"Sunflower Emperor, are you ready?"
"Use Holy Light Shining."
A blaze of intense light suddenly pierced the night sky, nearly blinding the pig-dragon.
"This is why I’ve chosen nighttime to battle you."
"First, during the day, there’s the risk of being reported by witnesses."
"Second, occasional intense light is useful, mainly to weaken you."
The pig-dragon fixed its knife-like gaze on Ye Bai.
If possible, it wanted to open its massive mouth and swallow Ye Bai whole.
"Big Gray, use the largest Thunderball,"
Tremendous electric arcs surged from Big Gray, forming a blue sphere of light.
The sphere quickly expanded, its blinding radiance far outshining Holy Light Shining.
The pig-dragon felt deep fear, aware that as a water beast, it was countered by thunder skills.
The pig-dragon recalled the times when hit by thunder, its body and soul suffered intense pain.
It started considering retreat.
Why hasn’t the poisonous flood dragon come yet, wasn’t it supposed to protect me?
The pig-dragon felt extraordinarily anxious as its eyes gradually turned blood red.
