Chapter 297 The Spirit Dragon's Confusion
At this moment, those eyes, glowing red, were staring intently at Gu Xinyan and the others, as if they would tear the Soul Fruit to shreds if they took even one step closer.
"Could this guy have really been beaten up like this? Or did he accidentally eat some poisonous herb and end up like this?" Zhang Junyang couldn't help but mutter.
As soon as he said this, the people around him couldn't help but nod in agreement. Indeed, the appearance of this monster was quite strange, and it was really hard not to make some kind of connection.
After all, what kind of good monster would look like this? It looks like it was formed later in life. It might have been beaten up by a person or another beast.
Tragic! Truly tragic! However, Zhang Junyang's voice was not quiet, so the monster heard it and instantly let out a deafening roar.
The beast's aura made it appear even rounder, and the enormous sound it unleashed instantly stirred up a gust of wind. Gu Xinyan and the others quickly raised their spiritual energy shields, only then feeling much more comfortable breathing.
"What's this? Is it angry? It probably heard what you said. I didn't expect it to be a monster that can only understand human speech!" Looking at the angry monster, Li Chendong couldn't help but sigh.
Upon hearing this, the group nodded in agreement, including Huanhua and Daling, who nodded their heads vigorously, much to the annoyance of the demon beast.
It just has small eyes now, but it's not blind. You openly call me ugly and even want to steal the soul fruit it's guarded for so long. Do you have no shame at all?
Indeed, the most shameless people in this world are human cultivators. It was human cultivators who turned it into this grotesque state.
That wretched cultivator, who was sleeping soundly at the bottom of the pool, had to wake it up.
You should know that the Spirit Dragon clan usually cultivates by sleeping. When they are awake, they absorb far less spiritual energy than when they are asleep.
Furthermore, the transformation process for the Spirit Dragon clan is extremely rigorous. They not only have to endure the tribulation of lightning from the Heavenly Dao, but also have to temper their souls. If they are not careful, their souls will be scattered.
That's why it has been guarding the Soul Fruit here for so long, preparing for its future transformation into a dragon. But somehow, that human cultivator discovered it sleeping at the bottom of the pool.
They actually have the audacity to want to form a contract with him; they're truly courting death.
As members of the spirit dragon clan, they have always been noble, how could they possibly form a contract with such shameless human cultivators?
But unexpectedly, the human cultivator, unable to defeat it, resorted to underhanded tactics, poisoning it and turning it into this state.
Over the years, it has tried countless methods, but the poison is so potent that it cannot be expelled from its body.
As time went by, its originally beautiful appearance turned into the grotesque thing it is now, so much so that it dared not return to its clan. If it went back looking like this, it would surely be ridiculed.
It was already angry, but it never expected that several human cultivators would come today, not only trying to steal the soul fruit it had guarded for many years, but also calling it ugly? It was truly intolerable.
However, this was not the best time to get angry. Fortunately, these people were some distance away from the Soul Fruit, while it was right next to it.
There's no time to lose, let's pick the Soul Fruit first, then deal with these human cultivators.
When it successfully transforms into a dragon in the future, it will go to find the human cultivator who made it ugly to this day.
"This demonic beast should be a serpent, but in its current state, it's not immediately clear which kind of serpent it is."
But it seems it really did turn out this way because of poisoning, tsk tsk tsk, how come I never noticed before?
This poison is truly amazing; it didn't kill it, but instead caused it to develop pustules all over its body.
It's a pity I'm not an expert in poisons, otherwise I would definitely have captured him and studied him thoroughly.
Jing Ling stared intently at the giant dragon that had already distorted its shape, his eyes shining. Ever since he discovered the Soul Fruit, he had been squatting here and had not left.
This giant dragon only appeared once, and when it did, it was already in this state, suggesting it had been poisoned long ago.
However, he only glanced at it and found the giant dragon too ugly, so he didn't investigate it further.
Unexpectedly, the moment the giant dragon's aura was revealed, the faint scent of poison on its body attracted his attention.
The person who concocted this poison is truly remarkable. It's been millions of years, and it's still so toxic. Interesting, very interesting indeed.
Upon hearing his words, Gu Xinyan and the others finally understood that their guess had been correct!
This giant dragon was indeed poisoned, but not from accidentally ingesting poisonous herbs; it was poisoned by someone. Truly...
The more they thought about it, the more pity they couldn't help but feel when they looked at the giant dragon. This thing had managed to endure such an ugly appearance for so long; its mentality was truly remarkable.
Spirit Dragon: "........."
"Sturdy? It doesn't even dare to return to its clan. It's the little princess of the Spirit Dragon Clan. If it goes back with this face, it will definitely embarrass its father."
It might give other dragons something to use against its father, so it decided not to go back. In any case, the ancient battlefield was full of spiritual energy, and the deep pool was a good place for it to sleep.
I had planned to return after transforming into a dragon, but I never expected that the Soul Fruit I had guarded for so long would be coveted by someone.
The spirit dragon's squinty eyes watched a group of humans whispering amongst themselves not far away, while its peripheral vision kept a close eye on the Soul Fruit.
The next instant, the spirit dragon shot out and pounced towards the Soul Fruit. This sudden change made Xu Yi, Jing Ling, Huan Hua, and Da Ling's hearts tighten.
If this Soul Fruit is stolen, it won't be so easy to get it back.
However, before they could even cry out in alarm, there was a loud "bang!" and the giant dragon was sent flying. The more fiercely it had lunged forward, the faster it was thrown back.
Xu Yi and the other person: "........."
Huanhua and Daling, along with the others: "........."
Well, no wonder they were anxious when they couldn't see Gu Xinyan; it turns out they have such a powerful cheat code!
Wow, that giant dragon really crashed hard. They felt that it was even more swollen after the impact.
Spirit Dragon: "........."
I'm dizzy... my vision is blurry... there's clearly nothing there!
How could a transparent barrier appear the instant it passed by?
