Chapter 110 Dragon
Lightning flashed through the thick clouds, and fine raindrops fell on Gong Ruomei and Tang Xue's faces. The rain got heavier and heavier, and soon turned into a heavy downpour.
Until a loud noise was heard and the hill began to shake. Tang Xue wiped the rain off her face and suddenly pointed at the red figure that broke through the hill and flew into the air: "Miss! The hook snake is trying to escape!"
As soon as the words fell, a strong wind blew, and the dark clouds in the sky quickly gathered together as if being pulled together to form a huge tornado, with a huge hole in the center.
The hook snake seemed to be pinched by a giant hand and struggled hard in the air. A majestic roar came from the dragon cave formed by the tornado, and a majestic purple dragon head emerged from it.
The flowing and slender dragon whiskers fluttered in the strong wind, the curved and sharp dragon horns stood proudly, the deep dragon eyes stared at the struggling hook snake, and the two powerful dragon toes pierced through the dark clouds. As the dragon body swung, the slender dragon tail knocked the hook snake from the air onto the hill. Along with the roar of the purple dragon and the hissing of the hook snake, uncontrollable fear surged towards Tang Xue.
"Miss, I... I'm so scared, as if, I seem to be dying." Tang Xue leaned against Gong Ruomei in a daze, staring at Zilong with dull eyes.
Gong Ruomei supported Tang Xue. Her condition was much better than Tang Xue's. Although she was still afraid under Zilong's pressure, it was not to the point where Tang Xue couldn't even muster the heart to resist.
"Don't be afraid! It's okay." Gong Ruomei supported Tang Xue and slowly retreated, looking at the stone hall with worry.
Zilong's slender and agile body fell lightly to the ground as the rain gathered into a powerful airflow. His sharp eyes swept across Gong Ruomei and Tang Xue, and finally stopped at the gate of the stone palace.
Holding the blue bead that was shaking and flying in his hand, Zheng Wenjie was very sure that it was the Dragon Ball. The Ma family had relied on the dragon summoned by the Dragon Ball to subdue demons for generations.
But the dragon outside is different from the dragon summoned by the Ma family. The dragon summoned by the Ma family is at most a dragon soul, but the one outside is the real Dragon King from the fairyland.
It's not that he was afraid, because his own strength should be above the celestial being and below the master of a world. But if he fought with the dragon king outside, Gong Ruomei and Tang Xue might be implicated.
Feeling the increasingly stagnant space around him, Zheng Wenjie felt a little annoyed. He had never expected to attract a Dragon King. With a sigh in his heart, Zheng Wenjie twisted his neck. War marks appeared on his face, and wisps of red and white flames surrounded him. As Zheng Wenjie bared his fangs and roared, the stagnant space around him immediately returned to normal.
Holding the dragon ball, Zheng Wenjie stepped out of the stone hall, forced a comforting smile at Gong Ruomei and Tang Xue who were slowly retreating not far away, and then looked at the Dragon King with some solemnity.
The dragon head lowered slightly, Zheng Wenjie's figure was reflected in the dragon's eye, and a deep and rich voice echoed in the air: "Let go of your hand!"
Zheng Wenjie silently let go of his hand, and the dragon ball turned into a blue meteor and flew into the Dragon King's head, hovering between the two horns.
A meter-long hot breath came out of the dragon's nose, the Dragon King roared, and his agile body flew leisurely into the air, passed through the dark clouds and disappeared from Zheng Wenjie's sight.
If Gong Ruomei and Tang Xue had not been still on the island, Zheng Wenjie would not have handed over the treasure he had obtained obediently, but Zheng Wenjie did not expect that the Dragon King would just leave after taking the Dragon Ball without saying a word.
Zheng Wenjie looked up through the rain at the hook snake's tail swinging as it quickly fled. He was suddenly stunned and saw Gong Ruomei running back with Tang Xue, shouting anxiously, "The island is covered by a layer of light curtain. I can't break it. There is a dragon in the sky! A red dragon!"
There were lightning and thunder in the sky, and the rain became heavier. Zheng Wenjie cursed and rushed towards Gong Ruomei, picking up Shen Cihang who was still unconscious on the ground.
Thinking of how Hook Snake had just broken the stone box and said he would watch them die, Zheng Wenjie didn't take it seriously because of his confidence in his own strength. However, the lightning energy gathered in the dark clouds made Zheng Wenjie want to curse, as it was going to sink the entire island.
"Don't run! Be right behind me!" Zheng Wenjie stood in front of Gong Ruomei and Tang Xue and left Shen Cihang behind him. Red and white flames rose from his body, covering them all.
The high temperature dried up their soaked clothes. Gong Ruomei gritted her teeth, feeling both terrified and excited: "What should we do next?"
"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything." Zheng Wenjie glanced at Tang Xue who was lying limply on Gong Ruomei's body and said, "Xiaoxue, what's wrong?"
Tang Xue stood up with great effort: "Dragon! I lose my strength just looking at dragons. I can't use my special powers and I can't become invisible."
Zheng Wenjie looked at Gong Ruomei, and Gong Ruomei said, "I'm just a little scared, like seeing a natural enemy, like a cat with its fur standing on end, but I'm not as scared as Xiaoxue."
Zheng Wenjie's face looked a little ugly, thinking of the Ma family who had been looking for Jiang Chen for generations. It was not because they wanted to deliver food, but because they firmly believed that the dragon could really deal with zombies.
Although Zheng Wenjie himself did not feel it, it was because he was already very close to a pure-blooded Pangu clan member, and his second-generation bloodline had been developed to the extreme, but Gong Ruomei and Tang Xue were only third- and fourth-generation zombies.
"We can't stay here, let's go into the stone hall!" Zheng Wenjie made a prompt decision and took Shen Cihang and Gong Ruomei to hide in the stone hall. The rain was heavy and a layer of water had accumulated in the stone hall. Zheng Wenjie threw out a ball of fire and controlled it to form a fire curtain to block the stone cave that the hook snake had broken through. He said to Gong Ruomei, "Just hide here, it's okay!"
Gong Ruomei looked at Zheng Wenjie and shook her head. She helped Tang Xue sit on the hook snake's slough and pried open her hand that was tightly grasping hers: "Xiaoxue, you just wait here for us, we'll be back soon!"
"No! Miss, I want to go too! I can do it!"
Zheng Wenjie stepped forward and grabbed Gong Ruomei's arm, making her face him. Looking at her determined eyes, Zheng Wenjie was a little trembling: "Trust me, just wait for me here with Xiaoxue, everything will be fine! You can't help me even if you are with me. Staying here and waiting for me to come back is the real help for me. You have to stay calm!"
Gong Ruomei was stunned by what he said. A feeling of powerlessness rose from her heart. Crystal clear mist welled up in her eyes uncontrollably. Her voice trembled: "I know, Xiaoxue and I will wait for you here. You must come back!"
Zheng Wenjie stroked Gong Ruomei's cheek and said softly, "It's okay, you have to believe me! I will come to pick you up soon!"
Gong Ruomei forced herself to smile, and buried her head in Zheng Wenjie's arms, leaning against his bare chest, hugging him tightly. After a moment, she let go of Zheng Wenjie and whispered, "Go quickly and come back soon. If you don't come back, I will do everything I can to find you!"
"Miss, I'm sorry. It's all my fault for being too scared. Otherwise, we would have left the island."
Zheng Wenjie turned around and quickly left the stone hall, listening to Tang Xue's crying voice behind him. He looked fiercely at the lightning power that was still increasing in the sky, and roared into the sky, shaking away the surrounding rainstorm.
The white and red fireworks surged from Zheng Wenjie's body like huge waves in a violent storm to all directions of the world! Above the dark clouds was the blue sky. The Purple Dragon King was suspended in the air, with lightning flashing around him. The blue dragon balls dancing in his horns danced with the dense lightning, emitting a bright light.
Not far away, a red dragon with a tail burning like a flame flew gracefully over, its eyes piercing through the dark clouds and falling on the island. Its voice was magnetic and naturally powerful, and it could not be ignored: "Ao Lie, how about father's dragon ball?"
"Everything is fine! How is the formation arranged here?" Ao Lie was very happy at this moment. He had been traveling in the human world for decades, and he also found the dragon ball that was stolen from his father by the hook snake safely back.
"The world here has been sealed off. I didn't expect that this little snake could find the original man's treasure house and hide my father's dragon ball. No wonder I haven't been able to find my father's dragon ball for decades." Ao Xia said angrily. She didn't like the human world and wanted to return to her crystal palace. If her father's dragon ball hadn't been stolen, she would never have left the East China Sea.
"Okay, okay. I know you want to go back to the East China Sea. Let me use my magical powers to destroy this treasure trove of the original people and then we'll go back!" Ao Lie said with some regret as he hovered his body.
"Wait!" Ao Xia, who was wearing armor like fire scales, suddenly spoke and interrupted Ao Lie's spell. Her ruby-clear eyes looked curiously at the fire barrier that suddenly rose up on the island and covered half of the island.
"This kind of fire can be compared with my Three Elements True Fire. Aren't there only a few humans and that little snake on this island? Who set this fire?!"
Ao Lie thought for a moment and suddenly said, "It's not a human! It looks like a zombie. This flame should be the zombie's innate magical power. Just now, my father's dragon ball was in his hand."
"Zombie, a member of the Pangu tribe? How come my father's dragon ball is in his hands? Where's the little snake?" Ao Xia's tone was a little cold. If this place wasn't the treasure house of the original people, keeping it might cause trouble to the human world today, so she wanted to destroy the hook snake and those humans together. Otherwise, she was going to catch the little snake to take to the Zhendong Sea Eye. Now, the little snake didn't die at the hands of her brother and sister, but was snatched away by a remnant of the Pangu tribe.
Thinking that Ao Xia was asking if the hook snake had escaped, and thinking of Ao Xia's explosive temper when she was dominating the East China Sea, Ao Lie quickly replied: "Don't be angry, sister! I didn't let the little snake escape, it's still on the island, but the little snake was practicing the Dragon Transformation Technique and was interrupted by this zombie, and the dragon ball was snatched away."
Ao Xia snorted coldly from her dragon nose, and then said impatiently: "Then we still have to thank this remnant of Pangu, otherwise we would not be able to sense our father's dragon ball."
Ao Lie blinked his eyes, not quite understanding what Ao Xia meant, and tentatively said, "Sister, how about we capture this Pangu tribe member and take him to the East China Sea, and let him set fire to you every day."
Ao Xia looked at Ao Lie with some regret, and cursed in an angry tone: "I will capture him and let him burn you every day! Can you learn the innate magical powers of the Pangu tribe? Capture him and let all the dragons know that my brother and I have been fooled by a little snake for decades! Where is your brain! Kill them all! Hurry up and do it!"
Ao Lie looked at Ao Xia somewhat aggrieved. It was clearly you who asked me to stop, but he didn't dare to refute his sister.
"What are you still looking at! Do you want to try my Three Elements True Fire?" Seeing Ao Lie looking at her in a daze, Ao Xia swung her dragon tail and ignited flames and cursed.
Ao Lie closed his eyes in pain, and with the help of the dragon ball on his head, he tried his best to control the thunder magic that had already gathered together. He didn't want to know why Ao Xia was suddenly so angry. If he waited any longer, Ao Lie knew that Ao Xia's Three Elements True Fire would definitely burn him.
Seeing Ao Lie starting to take action, Ao Xia snorted coldly and looked towards the island. Her eyes suddenly widened slightly. On the island, fireballs rushed towards the sky and continued to gather together to form larger fireballs. With the influx of small fireballs, the speed of the big fireballs became faster and faster, rushing towards the dark clouds in the sky that were gathering thunder magic.
Ao Lie also opened his eyes at this time, thunder exploded, and the dragon ball on his head emitted a fierce light. Countless lightning bolts in the dark clouds gathered out of thin air and bombarded the island densely!
Part of the lightning danced wildly and collided with the fireball that seemed to devour everything. The roar of the lightning and the roar of the flying fireball were intertwined.
The lightning was consumed by the fireball, which also sent out streaks of magma, which were then controlled by Zheng Wenjie and gathered into the fireball. Most of the remaining lightning struck the flame barrier set up by Zheng Wenjie, making the barrier visibly thinner.
A trace of anxiety flashed in Zheng Wenjie's eyes. He roared fiercely, stopped strengthening the blood power of the fireball in the sky, and turned around to support the flame barrier.
But the number of lightning bolts that kept striking the barrier was too great, and most of his bloodline power had already been consumed to create the huge fireball. Now there was no more power to fully support the barrier and block the dense lightning bolts.
Zheng Wenjie growled in annoyance. He had wanted to come out and negotiate with the two dragons first, but he couldn't find the opportunity at all. Sensing the energy gathering in the dark clouds, he became anxious and wanted to directly confront the dark clouds in the sky.
He never expected that before the fireball hit, countless lightning bolts had already fallen. At this moment, Zheng Wenjie was extremely anxious. He could only continuously squeeze the blood power in his body to forcibly support the flame barrier.
At the same time, he controlled the huge fireball in the sky to crash into the dark clouds, and couldn't help roaring: "Faster! Faster! Faster! Roar!"
With the last low roar, the barrier could no longer withstand the lightning, and it shattered with the roar of thunder. Zheng Wenjie watched helplessly as the lightning struck the hill above the stone temple, forming pits, and the top of the hill was blown off in the blink of an eye.
The flying fireball finally hit the dark clouds in the sky. The two collided and instantly burst out with light that could pierce the eye membranes of ordinary people, as if a star exploded at this moment.
"Not good!" Ao Lie said anxiously, his body suddenly froze in the air. With a roar, the purple scales burst into blood mist.
Ao Lie spat out a mouthful of blood again. He was unable to mobilize any of his own magic power and was about to fall straight to the ground, but was caught in mid-air by Ao Xia's magic.
Ao Xia hurriedly flew towards Ao Lie and continuously cast healing spells. Her ruby-like eyes looked in disbelief at the gradually dissipating fireball and the dissipating dark clouds below.
"Backlash! How is this possible!" Ao Xia twisted her dragon head and looked at Ao Lie in disbelief: "How could you let a remnant of Pangu break the magical power of my father's dragon ball!"
All this happened in just a dozen seconds. Zheng Wenjie stared blankly at the charred land around him. His blank mind suddenly flashed back to the time when he first met Gong Ruomei, when he was still excited about turning into a zombie.
The image of Gong Ruomei hiding in his arms and crying when she learned of her father's death flashed back to his mind. Gong Ruomei regarded him as her only support.
I promised her that I would protect her, but why did this happen?
Tears unconsciously fell from Zheng Wenjie's eyes. If he had strengthened the barrier immediately, Gong Ruomei and Tang Xue would have been fine. Did I kill them?
Zheng Wenjie's mind became a mess, with all kinds of thoughts mixed together in confusion. The power hidden deep in his blood underwent strange changes. Unprecedented pain erupted from Zheng Wenjie's body, as if thousands of steel needles were piercing his body. Zheng Wenjie knelt on the ground, growling in pain.
