When he first came to the Donghuang Demon Realm, Long Long felt the simplicity of the people here.
The demon monk gave porridge to the demon beast. Seeing that he felt sorry for the demon beast, he sent him into the water. He was really kind-hearted.
It would have been better if he wasn't immobilized.
Long Long's body froze there, then sank into the water and was swept down by the current.
Suddenly, his eyes went dark, as if he was sucked into a narrow space. Long Long's body slammed into the stone wall, and he almost cried out in pain, but his mouth was stiff and he couldn't speak.
Before he could curse the boy in his heart, he was hit again.
Then there was another hit, and another hit... Long Long was covered in bruises and his mind was in a mess.
After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly fell from a height and landed in a pool of water.
The effect of the immobilization spell finally wore off. Long Long struggled to hover his body, only to find that many of his scales had fallen off, revealing large patches of bloody wounds.
He looked up and saw that he was in an underground cave.
Just now, I was at the bottom of the river. Since my head could not move, I could not see my surroundings clearly. I just knew that I seemed to have been washed from the bottom of the river into the underground river, and then pushed by the water flow to hit the stone wall wildly, and finally washed into this place by the groundwater.
Looking up, Long Long only saw a bulge on the top of the cave. An underground river flowed down from it, forming a small waterfall in the cave and flowing into the pool at the bottom of the cave.
He tried to climb up, but found that due to the abundant moisture in the cave, the rock walls were covered with moss, making them wet and slippery, and he could not climb up at all.
Forget it, I'll just heal my wounds here first, and then let Ajing teleport me back to the Valley of Flowers.
Checking the wounds on his body again, Long Long hissed in pain and at the same time distinguished the smell in the air.
The sense of smell of a viper is very sensitive, even more so than its sense of sight and hearing. This cave seemed very large, and Long Long could sense fresh air coming from afar, so he twisted his body and went forward to explore.
If there is really no danger here, then it won't be too late to heal your wounds here first and then teleport away.
As the passage wound down, Long Long felt more and more comfortable.
It’s not that he discovered something, but this tortuous and narrow environment gives snakes a natural love and sense of security.
After walking forward for about a quarter of an hour, Long Long suddenly entered a spacious cave.
"That's it!" Kunlun Jing said excitedly, "Look, Chen Guanshui! I told you there was one! I told you so a long time ago!"
I saw a natural stone platform in the cave, and on the platform there was a bright ball of light, which constantly emitted changing colors.
On the surface of the light ball, you can see a fragment of colorful stone rotating irregularly around the light ball, as if it is sealing an object inside.
"The Art of Returning Life to the Hidden Realm?" Qing Ping Jian also said in astonishment, "And he actually used the Heaven-Repairing Stone. Is there some savior sealed inside?"
"Don't be silly, Qingping." Long Long said indifferently, "Besides me, where else can there be a man of destiny?"
He twisted his body and moved forward, trying to observe the light ball, when he suddenly heard the light ball speak:
"Stop, monster!"
It was speaking ancient language, but Long Long was not unfamiliar with it. As soon as the snake's tongue was spit out, he replied with difficulty:
"Who are you?"
"It seems to be some kind of obsession." Kunlun Jing suddenly said, "It's the same spell that Ouyang Zhao used. The original body is dead, and only the obsession is placed here to maintain a little bit of the true spirit."
"I'm just an undead." The light ball murmured in a low voice, and suddenly said strangely, "You are not a snake, you are a dragon! But you are still so young... Where are your elders?"
Long Long:?
Why must the dragon race have elders? Can't there be orphans?
As if seeing through his embarrassment, the ball of light sighed and said:
"So you were abandoned by the tribe just like me?"
"I don't understand what you are talking about." Long Long immediately made up a lie skillfully and said in a confused and ignorant tone, "Since I became conscious, I have always been alone - I have never seen my own kind."
"Is that so?" The light ball said faintly, "Have you ever thought about looking for your people?"
"Where are my people?" Long Long asked with pretended joy.
"Your people..." The light ball hesitated for a moment before saying, "If I'm not mistaken, they should be in the North Pole."
"The water system here is connected to the Nanlan River outside."
"You go north along the Nanlan River, through Nanzhou, Zhongzhou, and finally to Beizhou, and then continue north until you reach the sea."
"That place is called 'Northern Ocean', and deep within it is the 'Northern Ocean Realm', which is where your dragon race has lived for generations."
Having said this, the light ball hesitated for a moment and then said:
"But from south to north, you need to cross most of the Eastern Emperor Realm. You haven't transformed yet. If you are seen by a cultivator, it is very likely that they will kill you and skin you alive."
Long Long remained silent, seemingly digesting the information revealed by the other party.
Dragons...seemed to be rare monsters in the Eastern Emperor Realm. Otherwise, the naughty kid wouldn't have cried and begged his grandfather to keep him as if he had found a rare toy.
"If it were any other race, there would be no solution." The light ball organized its words a little and continued, "Fortunately, you are a dragon, so it is not impossible for you to transform before forming the demon pill."
"What should we do?" Long Long asked hurriedly.
"I can teach you the secret art of transformation," the light ball replied, "but there is a condition: you must protect my daughter and bring her to the Northern Abyss."
She dimmed the light slightly, revealing the female corpse in the center of the ball of light.
The woman had a plump figure and beautiful features, with long golden hair wrapped around her body. Her face and lips were extremely pale, and it was obvious that she was dead.
A little golden fox lay motionless in the arms of its mother's corpse, as if it was sleeping.
Long Long:?
He reacted instantly. Could this big ball of light... be the wife of Yinglong in the Demon Locking Tower?
"My daughter has had the blood of three races, human, dragon, and fox, since she was born. The three bloodlines conflict with each other, making her bloodline extremely unstable." The big light ball continued, "I can only seal her bloodline. Otherwise, she will die from the blood conflict within three hundred years."
"The Dragon Clan has a way to completely solve her bloodline problem, so going to the North Sea Netherworld is her only way to survive. However, I am already dead, and there is no way for me to send her north."
"We have been in this deep cave for who knows how long."
Long Long understood the pleading meaning in her words and asked tentatively:
"What about...her father?"
"Her father?" The big ball of light was slightly startled, then sighed and said, "If my daughter had a father, how could she have fallen into such a situation?"
Long Long: ...
Su Jian, Yinglong and Ouyang Zhao are all very powerful in practicing Taoism, so why are they so lame when it comes to being fathers?
Could it be that the male monks in this cultivation world have views on love and marriage that are very similar to Brother Ni’s?
"Are you willing to believe me?" Long Long asked in confusion, "This is the first time we meet."
"I have no choice." The big ball of light replied, "But as a mother, I ask you to swear with your heart."
"You swear to do your best to send my daughter to the North Sea Netherland safely. In return, I will give you the secret art of transformation and all my inheritance."
Long Long fell silent again.
The choice before him was not complicated: accept or reject.
If you choose to accept it, then you will never regret it because of the oath you swore in your heart.
The next step is to escort the daughter of Yinglong, Longhu, to the mysterious land of Beiming.
During this period, the Bu Tian Stone needs to be used to seal the blood conflict in her body.
But as long as she reaches the Beiming Netherworld, her bloodline problem will be solved, her oath will be fulfilled, and she can immediately take action on her Sky-Budding Stone fragments.
After getting the fragment of the Sky-Repairing Stone and teleporting away quickly, Long Long's character was finally released, and he no longer had any worries.
If you agree to choose not to accept it, then given the gentle nature of this big ball of light, it should not turn hostile, but it will definitely not allow you to stay here any longer.
So, if we use force to rob, are we sure to succeed?
Long Long pondered silently, and the big ball of light also saw his dilemma. After all, swearing an oath with one's heart of Tao was a very serious matter, and it was certainly impossible for him to agree to it immediately.
"I have some questions." Long Long suddenly asked, "My mission is to try to bring your daughter to Beiming Youjing alive, right?"
"Let me give you an example. If your daughter refuses to follow my instructions on the road..."
"I will make her listen to you completely." said the big ball of light immediately.
Great, custody is in hand!
Long Long continued to probe and asked:
"Does this sealing magic weapon count as part of your inheritance?"
"This is a fragment of the Heaven-Repairing Stone." The large ball of light replied, "I used it to seal my daughter's dragon bloodline, so that she can only take on the forms of a human and a sky fox."
"As long as you reach Beiming Netherworld and resolve her bloodline conflict, you can also take this fragment of the Bu Tian Stone."
Very good, the inheritance rights are also obtained!
Since this mother is so easy to talk to, it is not impossible to give this dragon fox a ride for the sake of the fragments of the Heaven-Repairing Stone and the secret technique of shapeshifting.
