Chapter 214 The Divine War Part One
Perhaps hearing my voice, or sensing someone ahead, the white dragon half-raised its massive head, scattering ashes from the twisted corners of its lair. Its large eyes opened amidst the falling ash, and its grain-shaped vertical pupils rapidly contracted several times before baring its fierce fangs at me, emitting a low, intimidating growl that was nevertheless weary and weak.
“Hrrrr…”
The stench of blood accompanied by the growl hit my face, stirring my silk-like black hair. In the next moment, the white dragon opened its enormous mouth and roared in anger.
“Roar—!!!”
It sounded like a splitting-the-heavens dragon’s roar, mixed with droplets of dragon saliva, accompanied by a strong wind that rushed towards my face. My hair instantly flew behind me.
“Mmmph…”
I quickly covered my ears, planted my feet firmly, and closed my eyes, shouting loudly, “Da Bai! It’s me! Don’t be afraid!”
Ah.
It seems its saliva almost went into my mouth…
“Ew!”
I spat on the ground, tightly pursed my lips, rubbed my aching forehead, and when I looked back at the white dragon, there was a hint of annoyance in my gaze.
And the white dragon stopped roaring.
It seemed to recognize me. Its gaze gradually calmed down, its huge head moved forward, and its nose sniffed around me. Its breath stirred my hair again, and then the giant dragon’s head pushed forward, knocking me off balance and causing me to fall backward with a “plop.”
“Oh no…”
I complained somewhat frustratedly, got up from the ground, and saw Da Bai extending its neck and moving its head closer, rubbing against me repeatedly. I laughed while hugging its nose.
“Giggles~”
It’s okay…
It still recognizes me…
That’s great…
The burning sensation from inside had already faded away without me noticing, turning into a warm current like sunlight, flowing through my body and gathering in my lower abdomen. The absorbed power seemed to have stabilized, and I no longer felt pain. However, as the swelling sensation slowly spread from my abdomen, drowsiness gradually began to creep over me.
I feel a bit tired…
But it wasn’t intense, not like before when I would immediately fall asleep after devouring something—perhaps it wasn’t time yet—I just felt sleepy, thinking Da Bai’s fluffy fur and warm body made me want to sleep, but I could still hold on.
“Yawn~”
I yawned.
Now I can’t sleep yet…
“Hrrrr…”
Da Bai emitted a low moan, trying to use its head to push me, but I pushed it away with my hand, saying, “Stop it.”
Then I patted its mouth, “You smell awful…”
While speaking, I looked up at the tumor above.
Thump, thump…
The sound of the pulse became clearer as the tumor continued to tighten and shrink. At this moment, it didn’t move, but I felt a sense of unease.
It’s best to take Da Bai away from the peak of the rock first, staying away from this disgusting thing for now…
“Da Bai, come with me.”
I tugged at its fur near its mouth and pointed outward from the rock pit, “Let’s go down and leave this place.”
It should understand what I’m saying.
I tilted my head and winked at Da Bai.
But the white dragon showed no intention of moving.
“Hrrrr…”
It growled at me, slightly retracting its large head, seeming to resist. Then it stuck out its tongue and licked me.
“Eh!”
The warm, wet, sticky sensation spread from my feet to my face, catching me off guard. I shivered all over, quickly stepping back two steps, lifting both hands to wipe my face with my tattered sleeves.
“Da Bai!”
“Hrrr…”
“Don’t lick me!”
“Hrrrr…”
The giant dragon let out a mournful whine.
Suddenly, it raised its head, supporting itself with its clawed forelimbs, lifting half of its body. Its huge mouth opened, and I thought it was going to roar again,吓得
Hastily waving her hands, she said, “Stop shouting! Don’t cause any more trouble! Hurry up and follow me! You…”
Her words suddenly stopped.
Buzz—
A faint golden glow emanated from the white dragon’s massive body, with specks of golden light swirling around its form like floating fluff, then turning into brilliant white. The giant dragon lifted its head and opened its mouth, emitting even brighter white light.
“What are you doing…”
She stared wide-eyed at it.
A small, milky-white branch emerged from the white dragon’s mouth, hovering gently in the air and emitting dazzling golden light that almost turned her pupils golden.
What is this…
The branch was roughly as thick as a finger, about the length of a palm, with a crystal-clear white color. The branches were twisted and turned, branching out in several directions, without any leaves. It was enveloped in the radiance of a miracle and the buzzing sound, appearing very beautiful at first glance.
She took a step forward, raised her head, and stretched out her hand, wanting to pluck it down and examine it closely. But in the next moment, the branch coiled with a slight buzzing sound, rapidly circling in the air before disappearing into her chest.
? ? !
She was startled and couldn’t help but let out a soft cry, “Ah!” She patted and touched her chest, her eyes filled with shock and doubt as she looked at the large white dragon and asked, “What was that! What entered my body!?”
“Rumble rumble…”
“What did you give me?”
“Rumble rumble…”
The golden light on the white dragon grew even stronger.
But its massive body gradually faded away within the increasingly splendid aura.
It’s disappearing…
“Big White!!!”
She was at a loss, her face filled with panic. She hurried to the dragon’s front claw and wrapped her arms around its furry limb. The white dragon lowered its head, nudged her nose, and pushed her, making her sit on the ground.
“Rumble rumble.”
It seemed to be speaking to her.
Then, its body gradually became transparent, transforming into golden starlight that floated toward the gray sky and dispersed.
“Big White…”
In the countless drifting lights, she slowly stood up, sadness welling up in her heart. She held her chest with one hand and stood there in a daze for a long time before suddenly realizing: It wasn’t dead.
Just like last time, it wasn’t dead… Maybe it was just tired and hiding somewhere to rest…
The dancer had said that Big White was a pure energy body; as long as the world didn’t collapse, it would never die…
It must be like that…
After a while, when those lights also scattered with the wind, she sniffed and began to look around the edges of the large pit, trying to find Captain Gray who had fallen and been lost here.
The area of the rock pit was vast, but there were almost no stones obstructing the view. The dark and rugged rock layers were completely exposed. If something fell into the pit, I should have seen it immediately.
But after looking around, I didn’t find Captain Gray.
He isn’t here…
Could he have fallen outside the pit?
“Swish,” the flame wings flapped, and a gust of wind arose. I leaped out of the rock pit, hovering above the peak, scanning the strange rocks outside the pit, trying to find the black scythe.
But…
It seems nowhere…
Strange…
I remember…
Ah!
Suddenly, I remembered.
At that time, I was entangled by the blood vessels, my hand was twisted, and Captain Gray fell down. In the chaos, I didn’t see clearly whether there were tentacles that later carried him away… I’m not sure, but since I can’t find him anywhere, he might have been carried away…
But where did the tentacles take him…
….that tumor.
I suddenly looked up.
Drip.
Hot liquid dripped down, landing on my cheek.
What…
Instinctively, I raised my hand to wipe it, then spread my palm in front of my eyes.
…It’s blood.
Drip, drip, drip…哗啦啦啦啦——
Blood rained from the sky.
