Chapter 269 Flying Dragon felt as if it had been tickled.
Chapter 269 Flying Dragon felt as if it had been tickled.
After a brief discussion, the two decided to stabilize their cultivation in the Fire Cloud Leopard's territory before continuing their journey.
For the next three years, Zhong Lingxin and Huang Ying'er stayed in the territory of the Fire Cloud Leopard.
The two sometimes practiced together, sometimes with Huanhuan and other friends, and sometimes took turns in seclusion.
During this period, the white-faced ape king and his wife visited several times, bringing with them their newborn white-faced ape cubs.
Pingping and An'an were extremely fond of the little white-faced ape, and sometimes they would even follow the little white-faced ape to their territory to frolic.
In fact, Zhong Lingxin and Huang Ying'er knew what the white-faced ape was thinking. First, it wanted to take over the territory of the Fire Cloud Leopard. Second, it thought that Zhong Lingxin and Huang Ying'er had a lot of good pills and would often come to plunder some.
Fortunately, the white-faced ape knew proper etiquette and respectfully offered spiritual herbs and minerals in exchange.
On this day, the white-faced ape couple visited again with their baby white-faced ape. As usual, Zhong Lingxin and Huang Ying'er offered them elixirs and spiritual food.
Suddenly, a chaotic sound of running could be heard from behind the mountain.
Then a group of panicked blue lions rushed desperately toward Zhong Lingxin and the others.
They were fleeing for their lives, not even glancing at Zhong Lingxin and the other person.
The white-faced apes, wanting to invade the Fire Cloud Leopard's territory, had been cautiously contacting the blue lions. Seeing the blue lions fleeing in such a panic, they hurriedly stepped forward and intercepted one of them, asking, "Fifth Chief, what's wrong with you?"
The blue lion shoved the white-faced ape aside with its paw and shouted as it ran, "Run! The flying dragon is coming! It's going to eat us!"
Zhong Lingxin and Huang Ying'er both stood up.
During this time, they learned a lot about the Carp's Back from the White-faced Ape, and knew that the territory of the Green Lion was behind the territory of the Flying Dragon.
That dragon is already at the peak of the ninth rank and is preparing for its ascension.
Zhong Lingxin and Huang Ying'er were still discussing how to make a deal with Feilong.
On the one hand, the flying dragon can obtain the resources needed for ascension; on the other hand, the spiritual herbs and minerals it doesn't need can be given to Zhong Lingxin and the other person.
Who knew things would change so quickly?
The dragon suddenly went berserk and started to eat the blue lions.
In the distance, several mournful roars of the blue lions could be heard, along with a low hiss.
All the blue lions looked pale and ran even faster to protect their cubs.
A sense of oppressive power emanated from afar.
Zhong Lingxin felt as if a huge mountain was pressing down on her, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
The fleeing blue lions all let out mournful roars.
They can't escape.
Zhong Lingxin quickly deployed a protective array to shield herself and Huang Ying'er.
The clever white-faced ape grabbed two small green lions and hid inside the protective array.
Seeing this, the remaining green lions all rushed into Zhong Lingxin's protective formation without hesitation.
Zhong Lingxin smiled, released the protective array, and covered all the green lions inside.
From a great distance, another mournful roar of a lion echoed.
The group of blue lions hiding in the protective formation all lay on the ground, howling mournfully, their cries echoing throughout the area.
Their king is dead!
Their king covered their retreat and was killed by the dragon.
And their leaders certainly won't survive either.
Several toddler lion cubs, barely able to walk, trembled in the pride, howling pitifully as they burrowed into their mother's arms.
The lion cubs huddled together, protecting their cubs and mother in the middle, howling mournfully as they adopted a defensive posture.
The little white-faced ape, pulling Pingping and An'an along, also squeezed into the lion pride, squeaking as it went, and gently patting the little green lion with its tiny paws.
The faces of the white-faced ape couple turned even paler, completely devoid of color.
They looked at the little white-faced monkey, then at Zhong Lingxin and Huang Ying'er.
Suddenly, they knelt down and said to Zhong Lingxin and Huang Ying'er, "Fairy Zhong, Fairy Huang, please take Xiao Bao'er and the little green lions and leave."
I know that you cultivators must have flying boats.
That flying dragon, at the peak of the ninth rank, is very likely not yet at the Great Perfection level and needs to eat the demonic beasts on our carp's back to increase its spiritual power.
We can't escape now, cover your escape!
"When you pass through our white-faced ape territory, take a few more baby white-faced apes with you."
The blue lions all looked over with whimpering cries, and carefully pushed several small blue lions in front of Zhong Lingxin and Huang Ying'er, kowtowing to the two of them repeatedly.
Zhong Lingxin looked at the churning clouds in the distance and said softly, "It's too late. We only have one battle left!"
The blue lion and the white-faced ape were both filled with despair.
Zhong Lingxin looked at the Green Lion and the White-faced Ape and said seriously, "My protective array is an improvement on the defensive array. It can both attack and defend, and it is much better than the ordinary ninth-grade defensive array."
"Wait a moment, follow my instructions. We might be able to put up a fight against the Flying Dragon."
Huang Ying'er knew about Zhong Lingxin's ninth-grade array plate, and immediately encouraged the Green Lion and the White-faced Ape: "That's right, this is a ninth-grade array plate. As you know, we cultivators don't have the thick hides and resilience of you demon beasts, so we rely on magic treasures to win. This ninth-grade array plate is a good magic treasure."
A glimmer of hope appeared in the eyes of the blue lion and the white-faced ape.
Zhong Lingxin took out a storage bag and poured spirit crystals from it onto the array eye.
The protective array flashed with light.
Zhong Lingxin pointed to several flashing points of light on the protective array and said, "See those points of light? We can see them from inside, but the flying dragon can't see them from outside. When the flying dragon arrives, I will control the array plate. White-faced Ape, you and a few green lions will attack the flying dragon from the points of light."
The little green lion and the little white-faced ape stayed in the middle, with a few green lions keeping watch.
"Ying'er, you take Huanhuan and the others as a team. When the White-Faced Ape and the Green Lion run out of spiritual power, you guys go in."
Huang Ying'er asked Zhong Lingxin, "What about you? What if you don't have enough spiritual power? Controlling the array consumes more spiritual power than we do."
Zhong Lingxin's manipulation of the array plate didn't consume much spiritual energy, but she didn't want anyone to know. She just smiled and said to Huang Ying'er and the Green Lions, "There's nothing I can do about it. The array plate is mine, and no matter how much spiritual energy it takes, I have to hold on."
Don't worry, I don't need to attack. I can take some Spirit-Replenishing Pills whenever I have a spare moment.
That dragon doesn't have shift changes. We'll wear it down no matter what."
The blue lion and the white-faced ape felt much more at ease.
The fairy has made excellent arrangements; they are very likely to win.
Just as Zhong Lingxin finished assigning the task, a thick fog descended.
A dragon claw descended from the clouds and mist, grabbing at the protective array.
Zhong Lingxin flipped her hands and shouted, "Kill!"
Countless thin golden lights flashed on the protective array, striking the dragon claw that was reaching out.
The dragon claws ignored it and continued to claw downwards, determined to break through the broken formation before them.
It had already seen that the fleeing blue lions had all entered this broken formation.
The golden light on the protective array touched the dragon's claws.
The dragon felt as if it had been tickled.
It couldn't help but burst into laughter.
They dare to protect the Green Lions with this broken formation.
Just as the dragon was laughing loudly, a beam of blue light struck its claws.
The dragon felt its claws had been deflected.
Enraged, it lashed its tail at the protective array.
