Chapter 382 Anger and Regret
The spikes that trapped Mini Tulane easily pierced her dragon scales, embedded themselves in her body, and began collecting her dragon blood! The blood flowed upwards along the thorns, its destination unknown.
Not only that, a sharp spike was slowly scraping off Tulan's dragon scales. At this moment, her dragon might was gone, and the little ice dragon seemed to be nothing more than a grass carp placed on a chopping board.
Yu Xunge was furious and wanted to commit suicide to leave the scene, but Shark spoke first: "You can try to commit suicide. I can guarantee that even if you leave, I can keep your pet."
Yu Xunge stopped because she and Tu Lan both had gained two new statuses—[Forced Stay] and [Time Averse].
[Forced Stay]: Unable to leave the world battlefield; the body will remain in the same place after death.
[Time Averse]: Unable to use any time-related skills for five minutes.
The former also has a one-minute countdown.
She immediately changed her approach and tried to recall Tulan back to the pet space.
But Sharlen continued, this time addressing Tulan, even thoughtfully using the Dragon language:
"If you go back to the space, I'll make your master suffer endless pain and humiliation before she dies! Let me think, how about crawling around the oasis like a dog? And I'll personally choose a species for her to mate with?"
After saying that, he muttered to himself in distress, "Ah, I don't know if your civilization on Zaijiu Star cares about this... So, shaving off all the hair?? Cutting off the wings?"
As he spoke, he used his fingers to write rules on a piece of wood that the thorns had handed him, his fingertips tracing the wood as if they were tracing patterns on snow or sand.
Tu Lan immediately gave up struggling and refused Yu Xunge's summons. They had an equal contract, and she had the right to refuse Yu Xunge's call. She gritted her teeth and didn't make a sound, letting the dragon scales fall off and reveal her flesh and blood.
The raging moon was still cooling down, and Tulan's Despicable Dragon was unusable. At this moment, she had no other choice.
Yu Xunge was furious and filled with hatred. She began to tirelessly attack the thorn wall between her and Tu Lan, expending her profound power. However, the thorns grew rapidly each time, blocking her path, whether in the sky or underground.
She didn't really know what she could do even if she rushed over, but at this moment, it was as if someone had cleansed her brain, and her calmness and rationality had disappeared.
All she knew was that she couldn't just stand by and do nothing, just watch and wait... Maybe when she rushed over she could knock Tu Lan unconscious and put her into her spatial dimension? Or perhaps there was another way.
She called out in a hoarse voice, "Tulan, come back! It's okay, I have a way, really, I really have a way!! Shark, let her go, I'll translate for you right now! I'll translate all the rules for every game from now on!"
The shark ignored it.
Yu Xunge tried to recall Tu Lan time and time again, but was rejected time and time again.
She transformed into a dandelion and passed through the thorn wall, but the thorns grew rapidly, becoming dense and impenetrable, pressing down on the dandelion. Yu Xunge was directly knocked back, her body riddled with holes from the thorns.
The thorns pierced her skin with excruciating pain, a hundred times worse than any injury she had ever suffered before! This wasn't psychological; it was the inherent attack effect of the thorns—[Pain]: Every instance of damage inflicted on the target would cause immense suffering.
She couldn't imagine how much pain Tulan must be in right now.
She used the "I'm in a hurry" teleportation ability, but the hateful thorns seemed to have foreseen her landing point, moving Tu Lan away in advance and erecting sharp spikes at her landing spot, almost spilling Yu Xun Ge's blood across the desert.
Sha Leng didn't even bother to give Yu Xunge a glance.
Yu Xunge kept trying, pleading and threatening Tu Lan in her heart: "Tu Lan, come back! Trust me, trust me! If you still want to be with me, come back!"
Tu Lan quieted down with red eyes, but she still didn't move. All her skills were disabled, and she believed that Yu Xunge was the same. Perhaps... perhaps Yu Xunge really had a way, but she didn't want to risk Yu Xunge.
She watched as Yu Xunge overcame thorns time and time again, switching between weapons—guns, whips, swords, fists—and using different skills.
Spikes slashed her body, leaving wound after wound, and blood flowed everywhere. She did not scream or beg for mercy; she only begged Shark to release her dragon.
She saw tears streaming down Yu Xunge's face, one after another. She was crying silently. How pathetic she looked. How could she be so pathetic?
Having known her for so long, this was only the second time she had seen Yu Xunge cry, but it was the first time she had seen Yu Xunge so disheveled, and the first time she had seen Yu Xunge lose her composure. What happened to the promise to remain calm in battle at all times?!
The desert wind howled, and dandelion seeds once again defied the wind and rushed over the thorns. Tu Lan knew that this was Yu Xunge's favorite skill. For a while, she couldn't even walk properly. Even when going downstairs to get a can of cola, she would turn into a dandelion to get it.
However, the dandelions used to be white, but now, through the gaps in the thorns, she saw a sky full of blood-red dandelions.
Tulan doesn't want to cry; she is a dragon, and her journey outside represents the Holy Grail, the North Year, and the Snowdrift!
Even though she was in so much pain that she was trembling and in extreme agony, she held back her cries. But when she saw Yu Xunge's tears, she couldn't hold back her own tears. Large drops of dragon tears rolled down the desert, mixing with the dragon blood and sand.
The more precious something is, the harder it is to obtain. Yet, at the moment she obtained it, she was not happy, because her joy was squeezed into a corner by Yu Xun Ge's emotions. The overwhelming pain, anger, and regret almost drowned her.
When she returns to Dragon Island, she will tell the Holy Grail that she has finally become the only flower in the desert, but those precious true feelings were hidden too deeply, and only extreme pain tore through that protection.
A heart stained with blood, both sweet and bitter, it doesn't matter if she can't have it, she was indeed too greedy.
The desert dust swirled up and blew onto Tulan's flesh, now stripped of its dragon scales, yet he still had the strength to comfort Yu Xunge in his heart:
"It's alright. We dragons have to shed a layer of scales every hundred years. Really, we have to rub them off ourselves on the rocks. I just changed it a little bit earlier."
She really wanted to tell Yu Xunge that this skill only lasts for one minute, and that she should just wait quietly. She wasted her time by doing this, which was a real loss.
[Forced stay] It was only a minute, but that minute felt so long!
This was the first time Yu Xunge had felt regret. Even when Su Yitong successfully used Feng Mu's death escape, she had never regretted it... But at this moment, she was filled with remorse!
She hated her own arrogance! She hated that she remembered to protect Tulan on Earth, but forgot that Tulan itself was a precious resource once she entered the world battlefield!
She regretted her actions. She had clearly anticipated that Shark would attack her, so why didn't she immediately feign death instead of trying to negotiate with him!
What qualifications does she have? What qualifications does she have to negotiate with the powerful?!
Only now did she realize how cruel the world battlefield could be.
Shark taught her a lesson with his blood.
