Chapter 49 Begging the Ancestor to Save My Life!
The old ancestor was determined to die.
The Flame Mountain area is in complete chaos. The Fire-Eating Beast has occupied the mountain for many years, and this is the first time it has encountered someone who came uninvited and dared to be violent towards it.
It has a bad temper and will breathe fire when provoked. The dragon disciples cultivate water-based magic, which is antagonistic to fire, but water is weak and fire is strong. When the dragon elders arrived, the hair of the disciples in the front row smelled burnt.
They shielded their unfilial children behind them, freezing water into ice, finally creating a form of resistance. The fire-eating beast, not to be outdone, gathered fire into balls, leaving them unable to spare any attention. Once they withdrew their magic, they would be hit by the fireballs.
They had been holding out for three whole hours and were just wondering what to do when suddenly a group of people descended from the clouds and landed beside them.
The leader, holding a wolf cub, conjured a cloud chair for himself and sat down. His pretty face was smooth and pink, and his posture was relaxed and carefree. He was none other than the old ancestor of the Earth Breath Mountain whom they disliked the most—Duan Jiuyou.
Among the dragon clan, it wasn't just the unworthy descendants who disliked Duan Jiuyou; even among the three elders who came this time, there were those who had long harbored resentment towards her. They were so angry they were practically fuming, and they blurted out a remark.
"What are you standing there for? Aren't you going to help?"
Duan Jiuyou casually turned her head to the side, and immediately a disciple brought her tea and snacks. She picked out a piece of jujube blossom honey cake, but instead of putting it in her own mouth, she broke it into small pieces and fed it to the "wolf".
Dijiang's constitution is different from hers. In the absence of primordial spirit, it must replenish its strength with food. She can skip breakfast, but "it" cannot go without eating.
As Duan Jiuyou fed the animals, he said, "This place is warm; you should like it."
She kept talking to the "wolf," which made the dragon elders very anxious. She had a special constitution and was unaware of hot or cold, while they were normal people, and normal people who were very likely to be burned to ashes. If this continued, they would really be turned into ashes!
"Duan Jiuyou! What do you mean? Are you here to make a fool of ourselves on purpose?"
"We are kin of the dragon race, how dare you let us die here?"
What is there to be afraid of?
The man and the wolf looked back at the crowd, their eyes filled with mockery.
One of them was a rebellious patriarch, and the other was a great wilderness lord who didn't care about the lives of others. Neither of them possessed much humanity.
Duan Jiuyou only had compassion for the innocent and weak; he disregarded the rest of the arrogant and conceited.
Needless to say, Di Jiang's idea was always to kill his way to the Heavenly Realm, leaving only the Great Wilderness Clan.
The dragon clan members, unaware of the "young wolf's" identity, felt a chill run down their spines just by looking at Duan Jiuyou's expression. Old Ancestor Duan was not easily intimidated; he might not actually watch them die, but he was very likely to let the Fire-Eating Beast severely injure them and teach them a lesson.
"Please forgive them, priests. They were in a state of panic and spoke incoherently. Please forgive any offense they may have caused!"
Those with a sharp mind immediately showed weakness, not wanting to anger this old ancestor.
Their magical power is almost exhausted. If this stalemate continues, they will only suffer.
Duan Jiuyou picked out another pastry for Di Jiang without even lifting his eyelids.
His sweet tooth has never changed. Just now, she wanted to give him a savory piece, but he reached out with his wolfish paw and pushed it aside.
Duan Jiuyou was both amused and exasperated: "I've been eating this oil and salt shortbread since I was a child, and it's so much tastier than that honey-glazed flower cake."
She just loves salty food.
The little wolf stubbornly continued chewing on the Hundred Flower Cake, then pointed with its paw at the Four-Color Flower Pastry.
What she likes to eat is her business; he has his own things to eat.
Duan Jiuyou was amused by him and wanted to laugh.
She discovered that after Di Jiang transformed into a wolf, he became even more arrogant than when he was human. When he was human, if he didn't like to eat, he would at most put down his chopsticks and leave, cursing in his heart. After becoming a wolf, he suddenly felt free from restraint, and although he didn't speak, his behavior and demeanor were extremely domineering.
Duan Jiuyou was having so much fun watching that he almost forgot about the fate of the group of "dragon sons and grandsons" opposite him.
"Please, priest, help me!"
This time, there were a few more voices, their tone not very friendly, still unwilling to give up.
They can't hold out much longer!
Sensing the shield weakening, the fire-eating beast shook its four claws, propelling the fireball even further.
The ice shield was already showing signs of melting and cracking, and the dragon elders and their unworthy sons were completely panicked, all speaking out.
"Please, priest, save us!"
After Duan Jiuyou finished feeding Di Jiang the last bite, he raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "Call him Ancestor."
"Ancestor!"
They were already burning with rage; how could they dare to be arrogant anymore?
"Please, Ancestor, save me!!"
"Please forgive me, Ancestor!!"
We know we were wrong!
The old ancestor looked back at the "little wolf" in his arms, and his expression changed dramatically. He was arrogant towards the dragons, but doting towards them.
"Why don't you rest on the cloud chair for a while?"
Lord Wilderness was lying so comfortably in her arms that she couldn't move while holding him. She couldn't very well treat him like a pet and just let go and throw him to the ground. This man was even more petty than she was. If she really did that, who knew how troublesome he would be when he transformed back into human form and was no one around.
"Little Wolf" gave a look of agreement.
Duan Jiuyou stood up, and "Little Wolf" leaped from her arms onto the cloud chair. With a tug of its paw, the wolf half-reclined on the chair, almost like a human, its indifference exuding an air of dominance. The disciples beside it dared not neglect it, offering it a cup of tea with both hands. "Little Wolf" sipped the tea casually, watching with interest as Duan Jiuyou plunged headfirst into the fire.
—She's going to turn into a fat turtle.
While inwardly grumbling, Lord Wilderness revealed an almost smiling expression; he quite admired her plump avatar.
The body of the cloud-borne turtle is enormous; judging from its shape alone, it is indeed a green-shelled turtle.
Its shell resembles jade, with a crystal-clear luster, while its body is snow-white, plump and white like a steamed bun.
As soon as the shadow loomed over them, everyone quickly retreated.
Duan Jiuyou's Dharma form is only cute to Di Jiang; those who have witnessed its power always avoid it like the plague.
Seeing the shield disappear and Duan Jiuyou collide head-on with the fireball, the dragon elders couldn't help but worry and shouted loudly.
"Old Master Duan, be careful! That fireball—"
hot!
Moreover, it was incredibly powerful; the three elders of the Dragon Clan and their five unworthy sons struggled to hold it off for three hours, but still failed to shatter it.
They felt that the fireball would be difficult to deal with, and since Duan Jiuyou was not a cultivator, his reckless charge would surely lead to trouble.
Unexpectedly, Duan Jiuyou lifted his "front foot" and stomped his feet twice, and the fireball was extinguished silently, like a piece of burning firewood, emitting wisps of smoke.
—Why did you call me?
The old ancestor craned its neck and looked back, questioning with its eyes. It had moved too fast to hear what they were shouting.
"No, it's nothing."
Go ahead and hit me.
—It's because we're ignorant.
—It's because we don't understand the world of the strong.
The dragon clan members silently conceded while making way for the space.
The clash of power between martial artists is very direct. The Fire-Eating Beast let out a roar, and the temperature of Flame Mountain rose rapidly.
It took a few steps back, gathered its strength, and charged forward. The two giant beasts collided violently. Flames erupted around the Fire-Eating Beast, and the Azure-Green Turtle in the Clouds shone with magical light. As the two forces clashed, the Fire-Eating Beast suddenly flipped over and was knocked back several meters.
Old Master Duan doesn't wait for anyone when he fights; he strikes again and again!
Ao Zong was known for his speed and strength. The roars of the Fire-Eating Beasts echoed throughout the Flaming Mountain, eventually almost escalating to tears.
It was being attacked unilaterally, and the flames that symbolized its ferocity were reduced to a small wisp on the top of its head. If this flame were to disappear, the fire-eating beast would perish as well.
The dragons panicked and quickly stepped forward to dissuade them.
"Ancestor, please show mercy! This is the last Fire-Eating Beast in the Three Realms. If you fight it again, it will be gone!"
"Yes, Ancestor, this Fire-Eating Beast is an auspicious beast. Successive emperors have regarded it as a national guardian beast. You must not take its life and disturb its auspicious energy!"
