"Eat if you want to! Why ask so many questions about the food?" As one approaches death, harsh words slip out.
"What does my true form look like? Guess right and I might eat you later." He waved his tail in front of my eyes, swaying it back and forth.
"Do you need a title to be a Flood Dragon?" Is he really asking for a title to transform into one? This was the first I had heard of it.
"You’re the Flood Dragon! Your whole family is made up of Flood Dragons! I am a Dragon! Have you heard of Chi Long?"
"Your tail tip is forked." The pastry had also read some books; Chi Long's tail doesn't look like that.
"This is an injury..."
He suddenly stopped mid-sentence, then viciously poked my forehead with the forked tip of his tail before turning back to cook his tail.
It is said that Chi Long rarely appears in the world to guard the Earth Veins; what merit do I have to encounter one?
But I truly did not sense any demonic energy or malice from him; occasionally, he would even allow me some freedom to move around.
His mouth bubbled like that hot spring, continuously making sounds without pause.
"The giant python is the spirit beast guarding the Spirit Flame Fruit; the hot spring at Chiyan Mountain has the effect of dispelling cold toxins..."
"At midnight on the fifteenth of each month, when the moonlight boils, at this time Yin Qi becomes apparent while Yang Qi remains hidden. In reality, the pure Yang energy is concealed within the Earth Veins.
Combined with the effects of Spirit Flame Fruit, when the Earth Veins and Gold Vein surge, it draws Di Huo to refine the body, dispel toxins, heal wounds, and temper bloodlines..."
Seeing that I still had no response, he changed his tone,
"I'll toss you into the Lava to cook you!"
I rolled my eyes at him and instinctively tied myself back to the Stalactite, closing my eyes to rest.
Knowing that I was undoubtedly facing death, all that remained in my heart was a sense of reckless abandon.
"Crunch crunch."
"Crunch crunch."
These past few days, he had nothing better to do than gnaw on Spirit Flame Fruit, piling up the seeds until they were nearly as tall as I was.
From the perspective of the fruit, I thought, "When are you going to eat me?!"
The heat in the cave and the Death Sword hanging above made me feel increasingly restless.
"What's the rush? This Lava isn't even hot enough yet."
Soon, the Lava would be hot enough.
Hot enough to almost cook him.
"…At the hour of the full moon, invoking Lava to temper the body can dispel toxins and heal wounds…"
The hot spring was replaced by Lava, and he transformed into his true form, hovering above the pool, lacking horns and feet, definitely not resembling a dragon.
That was a snake.
As the temperature continued to rise, his scales began to glow red, twisting incessantly in the air.
I was bound within the barrier, watching this scene with relief that I had already entered a fasting state.
It resembled a mortal's seafood barbecue…
The temperature kept climbing, and even I began to sense something was off.
The scales of the Half-Dragon Half-Snake across from me were already seeping blood, and its pained growls were growing weaker.
If he dies, will I be able to live?
I am the Supreme Water Spiritual Root; at full power, I can control water and turn it into ice.
In such high temperatures, encountering ice could at least worsen his injuries, if not cook him alive.
I quickly broke free from the ropes and ran to the closest spot within the barrier, channeling all my spiritual energy as coldness enveloped my body instantly.
Recalling the spirit-replenishing pills I had obtained on Feizhou, I hurriedly took them all and swallowed them; once I felt a slight recovery, I unleashed my full power in a single strike.
" Mystic Ice Art!"
A blue light shot towards the struggling boy in the air.
I held my breath nervously, afraid to make any further movements.
The body that had been writhing in mid-air suddenly froze, letting out a mournful cry before plummeting straight into the Lava below, falling silent.
Did it work?
My legs went weak as I took a deep breath; the intense heat in the cave tightened my throat.
The emptiness in my Spirit Abode and the sense of safety after surviving made me feel drowsy.
Fortunately, I only need to stay within the barrier and wait for the time to pass; the Earthfire Lava will naturally recede. It's quite amusing, really, that this barrier was set up by the Chatty Snake to prevent me from getting scorched.
