Chapter 109 True Dragon
Tang Xue looked at the Chidori in her hand and said, "This monster is so big! The wounds she cut will heal immediately. What's more hateful is that she is a deformed snake person. As expected, the master should just set it on fire."
Gong Ruomei observed Hook Snake carefully and murmured to herself, "She must have some weakness, but we haven't discovered it yet."
"Why do you have to wait for her to completely transform!" Zheng Wenjie asked, slapping his forehead as he stepped into the stone hall.
Tang Xue was stunned. Yes, why should we wait for the boys and girls to turn into snake-like people?
"We are the ones who came to us. Since we have no deep hatred, we should naturally respect this opponent." Gong Ruomei said in a normal tone, her yellow pupils staring at the hook snake that was stretching and adapting to its new body.
He stretched out his hand to Tang Xue, who immediately handed the Chidori to Gong Ruomei. He ran a few steps behind Zheng Wenjie and stared at Gong Ruomei who was holding up the Chidori with both hands, muttering, "Master, I think you should burn this monster to ashes, otherwise what if the young lady gets hurt!"
The hook snake's captivating body twisted and undulated, two human heads let out hoarse roars, and four arms turned into four snake heads, charging towards Gong Ruomei who was standing there holding a knife.
Gong Ruomei took two steps back, gathered her strength and rushed forward, twisting her body in mid-air and slashing at the hook snake's thick body with a knife that flashed with lightning. Chidori rubbed the hook snake's scales, and then the hook snake's speed was even faster than before. The snake's body surrounded Gong Ruomei with lightning speed, and they squeezed each other fiercely.
"Miss!" Tang Xue exclaimed, clenched her fists and burst out with an even more powerful aura than before, jumping over Zheng Wenjie and rushing straight towards the hooked snake.
Tang Xue's powerful punch moved the entire body of the hook snake sideways about half a meter, and the snake's body became more coiled. Seeing that she could not hit the hook snake, Tang Xue became more worried about Gong Ruomei and shouted to Zheng Wenjie in panic.
"Wait a little longer!" Zheng Wenjie walked forward and lifted Tang Xue to the stone gate. He touched her forehead from behind and said, "It's almost time. The hook snake can't trap your young lady. Don't you smell the blood? The smell of blood is really tempting."
Tang Xue was stunned for a moment, and forced herself to wrinkle her nose and sniff. She indeed smelled a sweet and fishy aroma. She stared at the hook snake's body that was constantly twisting and turning, and said in surprise: "Didn't the young lady just say that in this stone hall, the hook snake will recover immediately if it is injured? How did the young lady do it now! The hook snake has been bleeding all the time, right? The wound has not healed!"
Zheng Wenjie frowned and said, "Because it's not just the hook snake that's bleeding, your lady is also bleeding. Her blood is inhibiting the hook snake from absorbing the life energy in the stone hall."
"Master! Then hurry up! Go and rescue the young lady!" Tang Xue became anxious again when she heard it.
The two heads of the hook snake suddenly let out a painful hissing sound, stretched out its body and quickly retreated to the depths of the stone hall, close to the stone wall, leaving behind Gong Ruomei, who was covered in blood and emitting heat, and a piece of the snake's body twitching on the ground.
Tang Xue hurriedly ran forward and held Gong Ruomei's arm, ready to pull her out: "Miss, are you okay? Let's go out first, and let the master take care of the rest!"
Gong Ruomei smiled happily, and pulled Tang Xue back with her backhand, inserted the chidori into the twitching body of the snake that was twisting towards the hook snake, fixed it on the ground, and said with a smile: "Xiaoxue, didn't you see? I won!"
Tang Xue pulled Gong Ruomei to look left and right, only to find that the wound on Gong Ruomei's wrist was healing. She finally felt relieved but still said in a crying voice: "Miss, why do you have to do this? What should I do if something happens to you!"
Gong Ruomei looked at the wound on her wrist that was healing and said nonchalantly, "Isn't it all right now?"
"Miss!" Tang Xue was a little angry. She never expected that Gong Ruomei would even chop her when she started to fight, and she didn't take it seriously after that.
Gong Ruomei pinched Tang Xue's mouth, forcing her to smile. She looked at her two long fangs and said, "The reason why Hook Snake wanted to lure your master into the Stone Hall is because she can be invincible in the Stone Hall. My special ability plus my blood can suppress her absorption of the life energy in the Stone Hall. How can Hook Snake, who has no magic power and can only rely on her physical body, be my opponent?"
After seeing Tang Xue pout and nod, Gong Ruomei turned her head to look at Zheng Wenjie. The bright red blood and snow-white skin complemented each other, making her look particularly charming. She smiled, revealing her pearly teeth stained with a little blood: "I won! I also found her real weakness!"
Gong Ruomei pointed to the stone wall where the hook snake's body had been cut off and instinctively retreated. That was the stone box that the virgin had used to lure Zheng Wenjie into the stone temple with the treasure left by the hook snake. Zheng Wenjie looked at the two distorted heads of the hook snake, raised his hand and snapped his fingers lightly. A ball of fire flowed out of his hand and gathered into five fingers to grab the stone box on the stone steps.
The hook snake endured the severe pain, hissed and flew to the stone steps to block the fire hand, and then fell on the shed snake skin. The two heads roared at the same time: "Let me go! I will agree to any conditions you have!"
The hook snake got rid of Gong Ruomei. Its broken body twisted and new flesh sprouted. Its four vertical eyes stared at Zheng Wenjie nervously: "I have no grudge against you. Let me go. I can tell you the secrets of the dragon race and the secrets that can make you become a dragon and ascend to immortality!"
Zheng Wenjie spread his hands without commenting: "It's not me who defeated you."
Hook Snake looked at Gong Ruomei with some humiliation. If it wasn't for the critical moment of practicing the Dragon Transformation Technique, with the demon pill sealed in the stone box and unable to use magic power, how could it be injured like this by these three human-like monsters.
"I want ambergris!" Gong Ruomei said directly.
"Sure!" The hook snake roared, without hesitation, it had as much ambergris as it wanted, which was its saliva. The two human heads opened their mouths at the same time, and streams of golden and crystal liquid with a strange fragrance kept spurting out.
Zheng Wenjie felt a little disgusted, but he still took out all the containers that could hold liquids from the red coffin, and only put them back into the red coffin when they were filled with ambergris.
Hook Snake coiled up its almost recovered body and pretended to be sincere and said, "Okay, you can go now. If you need my help in the future, feel free to come to me."
"I've got what I wanted. Let's go out first. The rest depends on what your master wants to do." Gong Ruomei retracted her fangs, her pupils turned black again, and she looked at Tang Xue and said with a smile. Tang Xue said "oh" and followed Gong Ruomei out of the stone hall.
Zheng Wenjie stretched out his fangs and asked with a smile, "Aren't you going to give me the treasure left by the hook snake? Are you going to give it to me personally, or should I take it myself?"
Knowing that it is no match for them now, the hook snake's tail recovered and slapped the stone wall violently. Although it knew that they would not let it go easily, taking the stone box would mean ruining its own path of cultivation. Without mana and magic pills, it was more instinctive that controlled it when it was emotionally excited.
The hook snake roared angrily: "Since you won't let me go, then let's be buried together! Even if I am stuffed into the sea eye by the dragon clan, I will watch you all die!"
The snake's tail twisted towards the stone box on the steps and tightened violently. The squeezed stone box emitted a dim yellow light, until with a bang, a shining blue bead pressed a red bead and floated in the air.
Zheng Wenjie stood where he was, letting the hooked tongue swallow the red bead, his green pupils fixed on the blue bead.
The hook snake that swallowed its own demon pill suddenly felt a surge of magic power all over its body. It hissed and crashed into the stone wall. A cloud of dust filled the air, and the hook snake broke through the stone wall and flew into the air.
Zheng Wenjie came to his senses and realized that the core of this stone temple was the stone box and the two beads. He jumped up and grabbed the blue bead the size of a baby's fist into his hand.
This small blue bead contains very powerful energy. Zheng Wenjie looked at the blue bead in his hand with some enthusiasm. This is a real treasure!
Gong Ruomei suddenly felt a little palpitated and looked up at the sky. The originally blue sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and the sound of thunder like a war drum resounded in the air.
