Chapter 219: Holy Dragon
---
Heaven knows how far apart the ends of the Northern Liang Mountain Range and the Strong Acid Swamp are. As Ye Huan lay on the wooden plank, nearly drifting off to sleep, Bai Yulin finally spoke up to remind them, "Alright, we've reached the shore."
"Reached the shore?"
Startled, Ye Huan sat up abruptly from the plank and suddenly noticed that a faint white glow seemed to be protecting the bottom of the plank at its edges. Otherwise, in this Strong Acid Swamp, even without the effects of strong acid, the plank would have sunk to the depths of the marsh under the weight of three people long ago.
Having witnessed this scene clearly and gaining a new understanding of Bai Yulin's abilities, Ye Huan finally stood up. However, what he saw around him was nothing but thick purple mist—where was there any shore?
Just as Ye Huan was about to ask Bai Yulin for clarification, Bai Yulin instinctively stepped forward and walked directly onto the shore, moving slowly in a particular direction.
Watching Bai Yulin's departing figure, if Ye Huan had any doubts about Bai Yulin's strength before, he could now almost be certain that Bai Yulin had definitely been here before; otherwise, how could he be so familiar with this place?
Ye Huan grabbed Ye Luo, who was about to follow Bai Yulin onto the shore, and gently shook his head, signaling him not to make any movements for now. This left Ye Luo puzzled and unsure of what Ye Huan intended to do.
Noticing that no one was following him, Bai Yulin turned back just as he was about to disappear into the purple mist. Seeing that Ye Huan and Ye Luo were completely still, he paused in surprise and asked Ye Huan, "Why aren't you coming?"
Feeling that something was off about Bai Yulin, Ye Huan couldn't hold back any longer and blurted out his question: "I suspect you've been here before, Bai Yulin. Can you tell me who you really are?"
"Does it matter who I am?" Maintaining his calm demeanor, Bai Yulin extended his fair right hand, and four identical talismans flew directly into his hand, three of which had come from Ye Huan's position.
'This is bad!'
Ye Huan focused on the talisman in Bai Yulin's hand, and without a second thought, he pulled Ye Luo ashore. They watched as the wooden plank that had just carried them sank into the Strong Acid Swamp in an instant, disappearing without a trace, likely dissolved by the corrosive acid.
Turning his gaze back to Bai Yulin, Ye Huan felt an overwhelming urge to strike him. However, ever since arriving at the heart of the Northern Liang Mountain Range, he realized that not only could his Divine Sense barely sense anything within a meter, but even leaving his body felt challenging. He had no way of gauging Bai Yulin's true strength.
It seemed Bai Yulin sensed Ye Huan's fury; the smile on his face gradually faded. In the blink of an eye, he stood before Ye Huan and coldly said, "I warned you—knowing too much won't do you any good. I helped you obtain the Holy Dragon's blood to save your father, and you can't even kill the Tenth-Level Beast, the Hell Dragon?"
As he spoke, Bai Yulin pressed two talismans onto Ye Huan and Ye Luo's chests, indicating that he didn't genuinely wish for their deaths. Without those talismans, they would soon succumb to the poisonous gas.
Glaring at Bai Yulin with resentment, Ye Huan knew it was not the right time to confront him. Given Bai Yulin's speed earlier, which far surpassed that of Ye Luo, a Ninth-Level Practitioner, it was clear that his strength was unfathomable. If it weren't for the effects of the Northern Liang Mountain Range on him, Ye Huan might have considered fighting back. But now, with Bai Yulin familiar with the terrain, if a fight broke out, it would likely be Ye Huan who suffered.
‘What if I summoned Barrett and blew this guy's head off?’
A seemingly reasonable thought crossed his mind, but an instinct warned Ye Huan that even if he summoned the Barrett Sniper Rifle, hitting Bai Yulin's head was uncertain. Even if he did hit it, Bai Yulin probably wouldn't sustain any real damage.
Feeling a chill from his intuition, Ye Huan ultimately did nothing and obediently followed behind Bai Yulin. As for Ye Luo, seeing Ye Huan act this way left him with little choice.
They continued walking for about five or six minutes until the purple mist in the air gradually dissipated. This finally allowed Ye Huan to see everything around him clearly. To his surprise, at the center of the Northern Liang Mountain Range was neither high mountains nor dense forests but a valley filled with various blooming flowers. Occasionally, low-level flying magical beasts soared overhead; it was truly a picturesque scene that starkly contrasted with the Strong Acid Swamp surrounding it.
After walking a bit further, an unexpected sight appeared before Ye Huan: a hut made of thatch stood in an open area right in the middle of the valley. Instantly alert, he handed an M4A1 assault rifle to Ye Luo while clutching an M60 machine gun himself.
"Young Master, what is this...?"
Looking at the M4A1 thrust into his hands by Ye Huan, Ye Luo seemed confused about what was happening and muttered something under his breath. This nearly provoked Ye Huan to give him a smack on the head; however, considering Ye Luo's status as a steward, he ultimately refrained and pointed toward the thatched hut while explaining irritably: "Be careful! This is the Northern Liang Mountain Range. Do you really think someone would just build a hut here out of boredom?"
Upon hearing Ye Huan's words, Bai Yulin cast an approving glance at him and interjected: "Ye Huan is right; that's definitely not built by humans but is instead a creation of the Tenth-Level Beast—the Hell Dragon!"
"Wait? Do magical beasts also have houses?"
In an instant, Ye Huan felt as if his long-held worldview had collapsed. Upon learning that the thatched cottage was the dwelling of the Tenth-Level Beast, the Hell Dragon, he immediately lost his composure. While speaking, he took out the Summoning Book and began the summoning process. With each item summoned, he muttered a few words:
"Summon Apache Attack Helicopter; I’ll be relying on you to make a quick escape."
"Summon Gatling Gun; regardless of whether it will be useful or not, let’s get you set up first."
"Summon Type 99 Main Battle Tank; even if we can’t win, at least I can use you as a shield..."
One by one, various Arms appeared. In about three to five minutes, Ye Huan had summoned everything from his Summoning Book, effectively turning this place into a small arms depot. Finally, he took out a Barrett and aimed through the scope at the location of the thatched cottage, waiting for the Hell Dragon to appear...
Creak, creak.
The sound of the wooden door of the cottage slowly opening echoed. Through the scope of the Barrett, Ye Huan clearly saw a pair of shorts appear in his line of sight. Then, a pair of legs whiter than lotus roots stepped out from the cottage—slender yet curvaceous—simply perfect. He slightly adjusted the scope upwards, and upon seeing her delicate waist, Ye Huan felt an overwhelming urge to rush over and embrace her.
Suddenly...
He let out a nosebleed as he was shocked to discover that the woman emerging from the cottage was completely topless; two small fruits were directly exposed to the air...
‘Should I look up further?’
As a normal man grappling with the fear of mismatched beauty and figure, Ye Huan truly wanted to retract his gaze. However, having already seen her body was quite a temptation.
Grinding his teeth, in order to determine whether this was a beauty or a dinosaur, Ye Huan adjusted the scope upwards again and caught sight of an extraordinarily beautiful face—almond-shaped eyes, delicate brows, complemented by a red dot in the middle of her forehead. She was simply an enchanting seductress!
With the Barrett resting on his shoulder and forcing himself not to look at her any longer, Ye Huan took a moment to calm himself before turning his gaze to Bai Yulin standing nearby and asked, "Brother Bai, didn’t you say that that cottage is where the Tenth-Level Beast, Hell Dragon resides? What’s going on here...?"
"That's right, it's the Tenth-Level Beast, the Hell Dragon!"
Bai Yulin glared at the middle-aged woman with gritted teeth, her eyes seemingly ablaze as she spoke directly to Ye Huan, startling him.
The Tenth-Level Beast, the Hell Dragon, can transform into a human?
As Ye Huan scrutinized the Hell Dragon once more, he couldn't help but think that such a beautiful woman could not possibly be the Tenth-Level Beast radiating purple venom. This joke was not funny at all.
Just as Ye Huan was fixated on the woman's perfect figure, she stepped out of the thatched cottage and seemed to notice Ye Huan and his companions. In an instant, she appeared before them, her heavy presence making Ye Huan's eyes widen in shock, nearly causing him to bleed from his nose again.
"Little Bai, you’re here?"
To Ye Huan's surprise, after standing in front of them for just a moment, the Hell Dragon that Bai Yulin referred to spoke first, addressing Bai Yulin directly. This left Ye Huan momentarily confused as he pulled Ye Luo back a couple of steps to assess the situation.
"Yes, I'm here. I'm here to kill you!"
Bai Yulin continued to glare at the middle-aged woman with gritted teeth, completely oblivious to Ye Huan and Ye Luo stepping back. Her expression suggested that there was a deep-seated grudge between them.
Upon hearing Bai Yulin's words, the beautiful woman transformed from the Tenth-Level Beast laughed joyfully, her chest bouncing with each chuckle.
"What are you laughing at? What are you laughing at! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been trapped here for decades! If it weren't for you, how could I have been ridiculed by all the dragons across the Nine Provinces Continent? You—"
Seeing the woman's smile seemed to unleash Bai Yulin's pent-up fury. She pointed at her and shouted loudly. Even Ye Huan felt there was some juicy gossip behind this and leaned his head closer between Bai Yulin and the woman to ask, "Excuse me, can someone tell me what happened ten years ago?"
"I raped him..."
The smiling woman looked at Ye Huan and Ye Luo without a care in the world about her lack of clothing on her upper body. After all, if she truly was the Hell Dragon, why would she care about human eyes?
The thought crossed Ye Huan's mind that this woman couldn't possibly be the Hell Dragon! At first, he hadn't paid much attention to what she was saying, but as a faint aura of killing intent began to permeate the air around him, he realized that something was off. Shocked, he looked up and pointed at Bai Yulin, asking the woman, "Are you saying you assaulted him?!"
"That's right. Dragons are inherently lustful. A fully grown female Hell Dragon assaulted a fully grown male Holy Dragon. What's so surprising about that? By the way, let me introduce myself. My name is Black Shadow Flower. And you are...?"
She quickly provided her answer and then introduced herself with a name that seemed odd—Black Shadow Flower. Why not call herself something like Black and Tough?
However, none of that was the most important part. In Ye Huan's ears, he only heard four words: 'Holy Dragon'!
He suddenly turned his head toward Bai Yulin's location, scrutinizing him back and forth. The look in his eyes was as if he were gazing upon a rare treasure. After a moment, he finally spoke, "Bai Yulin, you are the Holy Dragon?"
"That's right, I am the Holy Dragon. Didn't we already agree on this? I help you obtain the blood of the Holy Dragon, and you help me kill Black Shadow Flower. Are you having second thoughts?"
Bai Yulin glanced at Ye Huan with an expressionless face, his tone cold to the extreme. It was clear that he harbored a deep hatred for Black Shadow Flower. The reasons could be as Black Shadow Flower had mentioned or perhaps there were other grievances involved. But just as Bai Yulin had said, they had made an agreement, and with the chance to obtain the blood of the Holy Dragon, why would Ye Huan refuse?
Thinking of this, Ye Huan turned his gaze toward Black Shadow Flower, who had transformed from the Hell Dragon, and coldly declared, "Prepare to die! Hell Dragon!"
Before his words could even settle in the air, he suddenly ran backward under everyone's astonished gaze...
