From the perspective of the dragon slayer, his two consecutive attacks were neutralized by a mysterious force.

What kind of tactic is this?

Martial arts practitioners, especially those who are as old as a thousand-year-old tortoise, all share one major characteristic—caution.

His attacks were inexplicably neutralized time and time again. Even though he knew that the opponent's strength was no match for his own, the dragon slayer began to be wary and hesitant.

He had always found it strange that the little dragon had been running for its life the whole time, never making a move to fight back, yet he himself had been attacked several times. And now, he was strong enough to kill the little dragon several times over, yet he not only withstood a blow from the little dragon but also had the strength to escape, and was being protected by something inexplicable.

Could it be... there's a third person here?

Having searched for the dragon race for hundreds of years, he already knew everything about them.

The growth of dragons goes through four stages: Chilong, Jiaolong, Yinglong, and Jinlong. Chilong represents the youngest stage of a dragon's life. This is the weakest period in a dragon's life, and to protect them during their growth, the clan assigns a guardian to each Chilong.

The creature he was chasing appeared to be a hornless dragon.

The dragon slayer frowned.

Although rumors say the dragon race is extinct, the sight of its orphan suggests that nothing is absolute. Perhaps after their annihilation, the dragons left behind protectors in the form of souls for this precious surviving offspring. If these dragon souls are indeed within this little dragon's body, angering them would definitely not be a good thing…

His concerns clearly delayed his actions.

The ocean is, after all, the dragon's domain. Despite his injuries, Shang Yanting ran wildly and eventually broke free from their control.

But this escape nearly cost him his life.

In the original story, Xiao Shang was seriously injured, and the Winged Talisman drained his spiritual power and potential. After losing the threat behind him, he could no longer bear it and fell heavily into the deep abyss.

The stench of blood attracted a large number of aquatic monsters from the surrounding area.

Fortunately, the black box had transformed into a shield that had thoroughly protected them.

Jia Xitong pushed aside the surrounding water and swam to the front of the black dragon's head at top speed, "Xiao Shang! Xiao Shang, can you hear me?"

She took out a Primordial Primordial Elixir from her bosom.

Originally, she intended to feed it to someone.

However, the dragon's head was so big that even when a pill was stuffed in, it would roll out from between its teeth—commonly known as: not even enough to fill a tooth gap.

Fortunately, he is quite sensible.

A moment later, he returned to human form and then crashed heavily onto Jia Xitong.

She held Xiao Shang's head and immediately fed him the pill, then took out clean clothes and wrapped his naked body in them.

The small business owner was badly hurt.

Even when he transformed into human form, his severe spinal deformity was clearly visible, with a section of bone almost protruding from the surface!

What should we do?

She looked at his injuries and was at a loss—all she knew was how to give him medicine, she had no medical skills!

Jia Xitong took out all the Yuan Chu Tai Yi Pills she had saved up over the past few days. Apart from the one she had just fed him, she had two left.

Yes, that's all.

Xiao Shang really gets bullied wherever she goes. All the private pills, spiritual marrow, and dragon bones she had saved up were used on him. The remaining two Yuan Chu Tai Yi Pills were also fed to him, while Jia Xitong swallowed two pills to restore her spiritual power.

Not knowing how long this shield could last, she needed to quickly recover her depleted spiritual energy and then leave with Shang Yanting.

Of course, there is one more extremely important thing before that.

"System, could you let me stay here a little longer?"

She no longer had any extra Primordial Primordial Elixir to seamlessly connect the two worlds at this moment.

【some. 】

However, given the current situation, the system does not recommend that users do this.

[Upon examination, it was found that the mission participant's soul was also damaged. Returning the soul to their body on time is the best option. Forcing them to remain in the original world will bring unpredictable side effects.]

"...Keep it."

When Jia Xitong said this, she only hesitated for a moment.

We can't just let him stay in the puddle forever, knowing he's setting a trap but doing nothing about it.

【OK. 】

Your stay in the original world will be extended to 15 days, but this action may have unpredictable and irreversible side effects.

"I understand." She closed her eyes and quickly recovered her spiritual power.

When she opened her eyes again, the black box had returned to its original form and was lying at her feet. Without the black box's protection, all sorts of fish in the sea began to gather towards Shang Yanting. Like monsters eyeing the flesh of Tang Sanzang, they all wanted a piece of the pie.

At this moment, Jia Xitong's spiritual power had only recovered to 20%.

But that's enough.

She channeled her spiritual power, enveloping the original Xiao Shang in a small ball maintained by her spiritual power, and carried him as he swam further away.

Occasionally, he would bring him to the surface to see where he was, but he dared not stay on the surface for too long, for fear that the dragon slayer might not have gone far.

And so, Jia Xitong led the original author, Shang Yanting, on a journey through the water for six or seven days.

For almost a week, she was constantly on edge, her mind racing with anxiety. Aside from meditating to recover her spiritual energy, she was constantly on the move, searching for a safe place.

On the evening of the seventh day.

She finally found a small island that she quite liked.

This island is quite large; it even has a city.

She dared not go up rashly, and observed the area from both the sea and the air for a long time with Shang Yanting. They were only able to confirm that it was a remote town, ancient and dilapidated, with martial arts practitioners, most of whom were at the Martial Master level.

The strongest city lord among them only possessed the strength of a Martial Spirit.

The surrounding area is seldom inhabited by magical beasts, and there are no spiritual plants or treasures.

A barren place where even birds don't lay eggs and dogs don't defecate, a place that even a great being with a little ambition would never come to.

Great place!

This perfectly aligns with the plan to help Xiao Shang recover from his injury.

She spent three days observing and set her sights on the second richest family in the city.

Why did you choose him?

First, only those with money can afford to hire a doctor, making medical care accessible even to small business owners. Second, this family appears to be of higher moral character, and their only son is obsessed with spiritual cultivation.

That's why Jia Xitong chose him.

She deliberately piloted a flying magical artifact, crashing it directly into the boy's roof.

Swift and decisive, lightning fast.

They acted with the grandeur of immortals descending to earth.

The young man was practicing martial arts early in the morning when he was nearly knocked unconscious by a flying piece of tile. He was first stunned when he saw the cultivator lying on the magical artifact, dressed in fine clothes (the clothes belonged to the host!), and then overjoyed.

He ran all the way to the main courtyard and excitedly shouted to the man and woman inside the house, "Father, Mother, a martial arts immortal has suddenly fallen from the sky!"

Immediately afterwards, everyone in the entire mansion was alarmed...
