The voice of the wooden dragon echoed in his mind: "This Balgada is about to die, that's why he wants dragon scales."
Cheng Huaijin spoke directly to Mu Long in his mind: "You heard what Wu Nian said before, right? What do you think? Is it believable?"
Mu Long's voice was soft like a child's, but the inheritance from her bloodline would not be lost. She still possessed a keen intuition and rich knowledge that Cheng Huaijin could not match: "Partially believable. But the most important thing right now is that I want the dragon scales."
Cheng Huaijin turned his gaze to Wu Yutao: "How do we get the dragon scales?"
Mu Long said, "I have a way to remove the dragon scales from Wu Yutao's body, but without the energy of the dragon scales, she will age naturally, and her Phoenix Poison Curse will also disappear."
"Most importantly, I need the power and legacy of the dragon scales. With my current strength, I can't defeat Balgada and the Nine-Tailed Fox."
Cheng Huaijin quickly asked, "One last question: Will I be cursed by the Phoenix Poison?"
The wooden dragon replied, "Of course not. You didn't use the power of the dragon scales. I am the user. I am the dragon. How could there be a curse?"
"Okay! I'll go right away!" Cheng Huaijin immediately seized the opportunity and ran to Wu Yutao's side.
"Be careful. I won't show myself until I get the dragon scales, lest Vargada sees me. He might want to eat me." The wooden dragon disappeared after saying that, presumably hiding in the wrist mark.
Cheng Huaijin and Lei Jingling exchanged a glance, and the electromagnetic barrier opened, allowing Cheng Huaijin to successfully reach Wu Yutao's side.
"Grandma Wu, do you know where the dragon scales that monster mentioned are?"
Wu Yutao leaned on her wooden cane, her figure seemingly much more hunched. Her eyes had lost their former sparkle, and she looked at Cheng Huaijin with a somewhat dazed expression, saying, "Dragon scales? How could I possibly have something like that..."
Cheng Huaijin's heart sank, and he began to believe Wu Nian's previous words to some extent.
With a furious shout, the fabric of his suit ripped open, revealing his bulging muscles, on the surface of which grew several feathers of varying lengths.
It looks like a plucked rooster.
Bargada's arms transformed into two enormous feathered wings, and his feet became eagle claws. With a flap of his wings, he also transformed into a white light and collided with the nine-tailed fox.
"Barrier!" Cheng Huaijin hugged Wu Yutao, pressing herself against the Thunder Sprite and the Little Ironclad Tiger. The Thunder Sprite and the Little Ironclad Tiger continuously used defensive skills, stacking shields layer upon layer.
The energy from the explosion continuously depleted the shield's stacks. To support the Little Iron Tiger and Thunder Sprite's skill releases, Cheng Huaijin constantly used energy circulation to supply them.
Damn it! Why isn't the security team here yet?!
Cheng Huaijin pursed her lips and focused intently on using the energy cycle. With her help, the pressure on Thunder Elf and Little Ironclad Tiger was greatly reduced.
Outside the barrier, war raged. Two ancient monsters, whose lifespan was unknown, were fighting, and everything in their path was reduced to ashes.
Inside the barrier, Wu Yutao looked at the girl whose mouth was already bleeding, and the two young pet beasts that could not be described as powerful... She was momentarily dazed.
In the beginning, she was just an ordinary person. She had admired the dragon's majestic figure, revered its self-sacrifice for the heavens, and feared the dragon girl's extraordinary abilities... until she obtained the dragon scales and gained the full support of the nine-tailed fox. At the same time, she also carried the curse that came with that power.
She began to hate the pain, but she couldn't let go of the power it brought.
Power is truly captivating.
Now, she is tired.
Wu Yutao's gaze drifted to the nine-tailed fox, to the broken walls and ruins, and to the beads of sweat on the girl's forehead.
Bargada and the Nine-Tailed Fox fought from the ground to the sky, their white and red lights waxing and waning, the air thick with the smell of burning.
"This can't go on, we have to leave!" Cheng Huaijin said to Wu Yutao. "While they're fighting, let's slip away and find the security team..."
"Where is Wu Nian? Where is Wu Nian?" Wu Yutao suddenly asked.
Cheng Huaijin paused for a moment, then said, "He was with the hunters, so he should have already been taken away."
Wu Yutao's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Let's go first, I'll talk to you later!" Cheng Huaijin grabbed Wu Yutao's arm and tried to carry her away.
Just then, a gust of wind swept by, and a huge shockwave from the sky smashed a massive crater into the ground.
Bargada transformed one of his wings into an arm, grabbed Afu by the neck, and shoved her into the pit.
Bloody tears streamed from Afu's eyes, and her beautiful face was marred by two deep, bone-revealing scratches, making her look utterly terrifying.
"Old fox, how come you've gotten weaker and weaker over the years?" Bargada grabbed one of Afu's tails and yanked it hard.
"ah!!!!!!"
Bargada laughed and said, "Nice tail, can be used as a scarf for me."
He picked up the barely alive Afu and walked towards Wu Yutao with a smile.
With each step he took, he and Afu shrank a little, until when they reached each other, he was almost as tall as a normal person.
He carried Afu, who had already transformed into a fox, and said to Wu Yutao, "The dragon scales are in your hands, Dragon Girl."
Cheng Huaijin desperately wanted to run away, but she couldn't move.
Is this the power of an ancient beast...? In front of it, Cheng Huaijin felt utterly helpless.
Wu Yutao pushed Cheng Huaijin behind her, her aged face calm: "I am the Dragon Girl."
Bargada sneered, about to say something, when Wu Yutao slammed her wooden cane heavily on the ground and uttered a very strange tone of voice, which Cheng Huaijin understood.
"You audacious monster! Kneel down!"
A giant purple dragon appeared behind Wu Yutao; the power of the adult dragon was far beyond that of the small wooden dragon.
