Chapter 123 Ancient Great Demon
Ning Xiaoxi quickly pulled out another bag of mulberry sap, tilted her head back, and handed it to the black dragon, "My lord, there's more."
Black Dragon raised an eyebrow, released Ning Xiaoxi, and took the water bag. "It seems you really aren't afraid of me."
"Hey, hey, I, I'm from Lord Jingyang." Ning Xiaoxi didn't dare touch her neck. Having just escaped from the dragon's claws, she'd better be careful! She didn't want to get slapped for being so cheeky.
"What exactly is your relationship with Tianji?" This time, the black dragon did not drink the mulberry tree sap in one gulp, but rather sipped it like a fine wine.
Ning Xiaoxi tried her best to soothe the little mulberry tree inside the cave that was shaking its branches in dissatisfaction, and continued to let Ling Jingxin carry a water bag to collect tree sap.
"I am an official under Lord Tianji!"
"Trying to fool me?"
"No, no, our superiors have seen that I have extraordinary talent and excellent physique, and that I will surely become a dragon among men in the future. So they are investing in me before I can fly. When the time comes, it will surely be a case of one person attaining enlightenment and all their relatives and friends rising to heaven!"
"Pfft!" A mouthful of mulberry tree sap sprayed onto Ning Xiaoxi's face.
Ning Xiaoxi silently took out a white handkerchief from the cave and wiped the liquid off her face.
"It's not my fault, you're just being shameless."
After confirming that there was no more mulberry sap on her face, Ning Xiaoxi brought her face close to the black dragon's eyes. "My lord, look, do I have a face now?"
Black Dragon silently leaned back, creating distance between himself and Ning Xiaoxi, closed his eyes, and stopped speaking.
Ning Xiaoxi reached out and pulled Kuiwei Shouyu towards the tree. The black dragon wanted to blow the mountain wind and wouldn't allow tents to be set up, so they should move to a sheltered spot.
The moon rose high in the sky; although it was not yet the fifteenth, its light shone like water on the black dragon.
There really are people basking in the moonlight!
Just as Ning Xiaoxi was staring at the black dragon, a dark light suddenly emanated from its body, flowing and surging as if it were a tangible substance. Fine black scales began to appear on its skin, spreading rapidly upwards from its ankles, like a black tide that instantly submerged its entire body. Even its face was covered in fine scales, giving its originally delicate and charming appearance a ferocious look.
Immediately afterwards, its arms stretched out rapidly, bones cracking, muscles bulging, gradually transforming into thick dragon claws, sharp nails like gleaming blades. At the same time, its legs began to fuse, bones extending to become two more dragon legs, their equally sharp nails piercing directly into the base of the tree roots. Its tailbone began to lengthen and thicken, fine dragon scales growing larger, revealing a thick, winding tail, its tip sprouting sharp barbs that gleamed coldly, appearing quite dangerous in the moonlight.
Its head underwent an even more astonishing transformation. Its forehead bulged high, and two horns sprouted from its scalp, growing rapidly, curved like hooks, and gleaming coldly like knives. Its mouth began to lengthen and widen, its fangs interlocking, emanating a chilling aura. Its whiskers fluttered gently, yet could instantly slice through rocks upon landing.
The black dragon did not open its eyes, and its coiled body was completely bathed in moonlight.
Ning Xiaoxi saw that its body was covered in mottled wounds, and its scales were somewhat dull and lifeless. Some scales were missing, revealing bright red flesh, while others, though scales remained, were shrouded in black smoke, with wisps of black smoke occasionally seeping beneath them. Even more noticeable was a huge wound on its head, where the flesh was torn open. Although it was no longer bleeding, the stark white bone could be seen through the flesh.
Its aura was calm and steady; even lying there, it exuded an inviolable majesty. With each breath, a mountain breeze swept by. Demonic energy, extending with its body, swept through the entire space, yet cleverly avoided Ning Xiaoxi and Kuiwei guarding beneath the tree trunk.
To survive such injuries and still be able to conceal one's identity as a priest among the Kuafu tribe—these ancient demons are truly extraordinary.
[Tuanzi, have you ever seen a great demon from ancient times?]
[No records. Of the ones I brought, I've only ever seen Demon Generals and Monster Generals.]
Ning Xiaoxi instantly exploded, "[I've never seen this before, why am I the only unlucky one? Am I some kind of freebie that comes with a phone plan?]"
"I'll go back and upgrade right away! I'll definitely get you even more powerful skills!" Tuanzi hurriedly appeared, hugging Ning Xiaoxi's neck and promising, "The previous two didn't have your luck. The skills they gave you seemed pretty good at the time, but now they're just trash. Don't worry, I'll go back and beg and plead to get you even better skills. I definitely won't let you suffer!" After saying that, she even tried to press her cheek against Ning Xiaoxi's before disappearing.
Ning Xiaoxi touched her cheek where Tuanzi had touched her, looking at the deep, bone-revealing wound on the black dragon. Even if Tuanzi had really given her skills, could her small body withstand the suppression of a powerful demon? From the moment they met the black dragon, Tuanzi had kept its distance, never clamoring for her to slay demons. These ancient demons and demon lords were simply behemoths she couldn't contend with now.
"Boom!" A surge of demonic energy roared down from the middle of the mountain peak.
"Snap!" The black dragon's tail swept fiercely across the demonic energy, causing it to dissipate.
"Black Dragon!"
A towering figure pierced through the thick fog on the opposite mountain peak, causing the surrounding temperature to plummet and the air to instantly condense into tiny ice shards that swirled and danced in the gloomy, icy demonic aura. The Frost Soul Demon Lord, his upper body seemingly crouching atop the mountain, emanated a dark, eerie blue light, like an evil shadow emerging from an endless abyss of ice.
His face was as cold and stern as an ice sculpture, his eyes a deep purple, like two will-o'-the-wisps, flickering with cruelty and ruthlessness, as if they could see through the deepest fears in people's hearts. His white hair flew wildly, the ends of which were covered with tiny ice crystals, reflecting an eerie light. Strange patterns were etched on his skin, with a ghostly blue light flowing through the center of the patterns, and a dark aura formed a black current around him, swirling and coiling around his body.
He wore a long black robe with faint ice patterns flowing across it, as if countless wronged souls were frozen within. His hands had long, slender fingers, but his nails were like sharp ice blades, radiating a chilling aura. When he placed them on the mountaintop, icy demonic energy rippled outwards, shattering the space in his wake like glass, with wisps of icy mist seeping from the mountain.
Behind it, a pair of enormous ice wings slowly unfurled, covered with mysterious magical runes, with demonic energy shimmering and flowing along the patterns. Each flap brought forth a biting wind, carrying a chilling and sinister aura, as if to freeze everything in the world into endless darkness and cold.
This image is even more terrifying than what Ning Xiaoxi saw in the flashback. The Frost Soul Demon Lord at that time should have been in its daily form, but this is probably its battle form!
Sensing the attack pattern of the Frost Soul Demon Lord opposite, the Black Dragon was no longer lazy. It opened its eyes, and the sun and moon rotated in its blood-red eyes. A cold aura permeated the entire mountain. The Black Dragon, standing with its head held high, stared unblinkingly at the Frost Soul Demon Lord opposite.
"You want to take advantage of someone's misfortune? You'd better see if you have the ability!"
