The golden dragon's claws hooked onto Cheng Huaijin's collar, throwing her onto its back.
"Let's go, it's time to clean up."
Cheng Huaijin hurriedly grabbed the dragon's mane and bent down to follow the golden dragon into the sky.
Through layers of white clouds, the golden dragon spat out a beam of golden light.
Wherever the golden light touched, the smog dissipated, revealing a black hole.
Is there a hole in the sky?
Cheng Huaijin was shocked, but on the surface he still pretended to be calm and composed.
Jinlong carefully examined the black hole, his voice low and worried: "It looks bigger now."
Cheng Huaijin, unaware of the situation, could only feign agreement, saying, "Yes, it's gotten a bit bigger."
Jinlong showed no unusual behavior, leading Cheng Huaijin to guess that the original owner of this body might have always had this taciturn personality.
As he was pondering this, Cheng Huaijin suddenly sensed an extremely strong elemental fluctuation coming from the black hole.
Jinlong's eyes narrowed: "Not good, there's a high-level Black Soul today!"
Cheng Huaijin felt as if he had been struck on the head, and a flood of information about dragons rushed into his mind.
She didn't have time to think it through and could only act on instinct.
The green dragon eye stone around her neck shimmered, and a giant dragon with a deep green body appeared, its emerald eyes looking at Cheng Huaijin with tenderness: "Come on to me quickly."
Cheng Huaijin braced his right hand on the back of the golden dragon, leaped up, and successfully stood on the head of the wooden dragon.
"Water dragon! Fire dragon! Earth dragon! Come forth!"
As Cheng Huaijin called out, the blue, red, and yellow dragon eye stones emitted a dazzling light, and three giant dragons coiled in the air.
Centered on the Golden Dragon, the four dragons of metal, water, fire, and earth face the black hole, ready for battle.
The wooden dragon's attack power is not high; its main skill points are in healing and buffing. At this moment, it is behind the four dragons, responsible for protecting Cheng Huaijin and providing timely healing to its companions.
Cheng Huaijin unconsciously rubbed her fingers together. She stared seriously at the black hole, the white dragon eye stone around her neck flickering on and off.
"Is the Ice Dragon still unwilling to come out?" the Wood Dragon asked.
Cheng Huaijin was somewhat frustrated: "It's because my abilities aren't enough. It's understandable that it doesn't trust me."
Mu Long sighed, "There's nothing we can do about it. The Ancestral Dragon's lineage has been broken, and the Nine Dragon Maidens have scattered to various places with no known whereabouts. It's already quite remarkable that you were able to awaken us all."
According to the memories that suddenly appeared in Cheng Huaijin's mind, the Ancestral Dragon was the master of the Nine Dragons, and the Nine Dragon Maidens were the servants of the Nine Dragons (responsible for protecting the Nine Dragons before the appearance of the Ancestral Dragon's successor). Only the successor of the Ancestral Dragon could awaken the Nine Dragons.
Cheng Huaijin is a descendant of the First Emperor.
Cheng Huaijin: ...This script is wrong. I clearly transmigrated into an interstellar beast tamer! How did I end up in an ancient mythical beast world?
A hissing sound rang out, interrupting Cheng Huaijin's thoughts. She looked up and saw countless oil-like "mixtures" crawling out of the black hole. This monster looked so familiar.
"How come there are so many black souls!" Mu Long exclaimed in surprise.
Cheng Huaijin remembered; she had seen this kind of monster in the immersive experience cabin setting of Meihuan... So Dark Souls is a void creature from the "War of the Time Rift"?!
The four dragons began their attack the instant the Black Soul appeared.
The golden dragon spewed golden light, and wherever the light reached, the black souls turned into black smoke and dissipated; the water dragon spiraled into the sky, and the water elements in the air condensed into extremely pure water streams that rushed towards the black souls, melting them into black water and then completely purifying them into pure water attacks; the fire dragon was engulfed in an inextinguishable flame, and it roared to the sky, with fiery meteors coming from the east, carrying a world-destroying force to burn the black souls to ashes; the earth dragon closed its brown eyes, and when it opened them again, all the black souls within its sight were trapped by earth and rocks, and then the earth collapsed and the rocks split, and the bodies of the black souls were shattered into pieces.
Everything before his eyes was like something out of a special effects movie, and Cheng Huaijin was stunned.
...This is the dragon, this is the power of a divine beast.
The battle was almost entirely one-sided, with the four dragons displaying their extraordinary abilities to block the black souls at the black hole, giving them no chance to break through.
The wooden dragon observes the battle, replenishing its companions' energy and healing their corrosive status as needed.
Just as Cheng Huaijin was slightly relieved, a powerful aura suddenly pressed down on him. Caught off guard, Cheng Huaijin was overwhelmed and knelt on one knee, staring wide-eyed at the scene.
The wooden dragon quickly raised a barrier to protect Cheng Huaijin's physical body.
...It turns out that what came before was just a warm-up; the real battle is about to begin.
Cheng Huaijin's hand trembled, and a wooden staff appeared in her right hand. She stared intently at the black hole and saw a foot formed from black liquid step out of it.
As parts of the body were exposed, the black liquid gradually transformed into the shape of human flesh.
This is a Dark Soul that can transform into human form. A high-level Dark Soul.
"A descendant of the Ancestral Dragon? No wonder he's so hard to beat." The high-level Dark Soul smiled eerily.
The wooden staff was pointed directly at the enemy. Cheng Huaijin's eyes were icy: "Retreat."
The high-ranking Dark Soul extended a pale, slender finger: "I've heard that on Earth, pointing at people is considered very impolite."
Cheng Huaijin's wooden staff shot out a rainbow light, swiftly slicing off the advanced black soul's finger.
"roll."
The high-level Dark Soul narrowed his eyes: "So he really is a descendant of the Ancestral Dragon? Interesting."
Cheng Huaijin said coldly, "This is not a place for you."
The high-ranking Dark Soul smiled eerily again: "We're just trying to make a living. Since you don't welcome me, I'll come back another time." He turned and walked into the black hole.
"Since you've come as a guest, you should naturally bring a gift." The high-ranking Black Soul suddenly turned around, and a pool of black flame rushed towards Cheng Huaijin.
"Roar—!" The enormous silver-white dragon, carrying a chilling aura, froze everything in its path. Its white eyes were empty and cold, staring at the uninvited guest with intense killing intent.
