Chapter 225: Hatching the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon (Part Two)
With a strange feeling in his heart, Ye Huan scanned each person in the room, but he couldn't find a suitable candidate. In his eyes, aside from Bai Yulin and Black Shadow Flower, both Tenth-Level Beasts, everyone else was either a friend or a family member. Even the Hua Tuo was the doctor who helped treat Ye Tian. How could Ye Huan possibly ask them for help with a blood transfusion?
'Is there really no other way?'
Feeling a chill in his heart, Ye Huan even contemplated the idea of exchanging his life for Ye Tian's. Just as he prepared to draw the Flame Sun Sword to take action, the Hua Tuo suddenly coughed twice and muttered to himself, "Cough, cough. If I remember correctly, the blood of a Holy Dragon should have healing properties and definitely won't cause any rejection in the human body..."
Holy Dragon?
Upon hearing the Hua Tuo's words, Ye Huan suddenly recalled that although Bai Yulin was currently in human form, if he were to revert to his original form, he would surely be much larger than he appeared now. At that point, not only would Ye Huan's blood be consumed, but even if Bai Yulin merely made a small cut on himself, the blood of a Holy Dragon could give Ye Huan a dragon blood bath.
Turning his gaze back to Bai Yulin, who was still half-kneeling on the ground—likely because the Golden Egg was still in Ye Huan's possession—he seemed completely unaware of what the Hua Tuo had just said. This prompted Ye Huan to retract the Golden Egg into his Spatial Ring before quickly approaching Bai Yulin. He helped him up and asked, "Brother Bai, how big are you when you revert to your original form?"
"How big? That's hard for me to say..."
Bai Yulin looked around with a face full of confusion. After not seeing any trace of the Golden Egg, he finally let out a sigh of relief and quickly responded to Ye Huan. However, his answer was vague and provided little clarity, prompting Ye Huan to roll his eyes in frustration. He simply grabbed Bai Yulin's hand and pulled him outside, not even bothering to check on Black Shadow Flower still half-kneeling on the ground.
Being dragged along by Ye Huan for a couple of steps, Bai Yulin still hadn't grasped what was happening. Coupled with the lingering pressure from the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon, he found himself unable to break free from Ye Huan's grip and could only voice his frustration loudly. "Ye Huan, why are you pulling me? Where are we going?"
"We're going to find a place where you can revert to your original form!"
Ye Huan replied in a low voice. After leaving the room, he quickly led Bai Yulin to a square on the east side of Dragon Hall Headquarters. Since it was nighttime, the square was completely empty; there wasn't even a shadow in sight—perfect for Bai Yulin to transform back into his Holy Dragon form.
Having roughly guessed what was happening, the only regret Bai Yulin felt now was why he had rashly given his inner core from the Tenth Level Magical Beast Plant Queen to Ye Huan. Now that he had given away the inner core and couldn't let his blood go to waste, he realized he had truly lost more than just a little bit.
Unaware of Bai Yulin's thoughts, Ye Huan approached him and expressed the need for the blood of the Holy Dragon to assist in hatching the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon. After receiving Bai Yulin's nod of agreement, he reminded Bai Yulin to stand back a bit, lest the pressure from the Golden Egg affect him.
Following Ye Huan's instructions, Bai Yulin stepped back nearly twenty meters. Only then did Ye Huan take out the Golden Egg from his Spatial Ring once more, carefully placing it on the ground. Under the moonlight, the Golden Egg shimmered brilliantly.
Summoning a D80 Tiger Tooth Bayonet, Ye Huan plunged the bayonet into his right palm and quickly withdrew it, allowing his blood to drip onto the Golden Egg. At the same time, Bai Yulin, who had promised to help Ye Huan with a blood exchange, suddenly pushed off the ground with his legs and leaped into the air. In an instant, his white robe exploded into fragments, and even Bai Yulin's form began to change. Notably, two snow-white wings burst forth from his back, growing rapidly until they extended over ten meters long, casting a shadow over Ye Huan beneath.
Afterward, Bai Yulin's legs transformed into two massive limbs with six claws in total. Ironically, his arms became the least conspicuous part of his new form, measuring less than fifty centimeters in length and resembling mere appendages. As his body gradually expanded and his four limbs took shape, Bai Yulin's once-handsome face also underwent a transformation. Strange flesh lumps emerged, his nostrils widened, and his mouth bulged outward, resembling that of a crocodile.
In just a short while, Bai Yulin completely transformed from a human into a Holy Dragon, measuring six meters in length and enveloped in a faint white glow. His peculiar dragon head would have frightened anyone with a weak heart.
Attempting to adapt to his new form, Bai Yulin waved his claws—now less than fifty centimeters long. With each breath he took, wisps of white smoke escaped from his large nostrils. There was nothing he could do about it; after all, this was simply what he looked like as a Tenth-Level Beast.
"Ye Huan, can I start now?"
As more white smoke billowed from his nostrils and he noticed Ye Huan bleeding profusely within seconds, Bai Yulin spoke up. He then scraped his sharp claw against his wing, causing a torrent of Holy Dragon blood to rain down upon Ye Huan. The blood drenched him completely, staining his clothes crimson as it gradually seeped into his body. Strangely enough, not a drop of Holy Dragon blood touched the area where the Golden Egg lay—whether due to natural repulsion or Bai Yulin’s deliberate control remained unclear.
Sensing the strong smell of blood, Ye Huan had no time to glance at Bai Yulin above him. At that moment, all of his focus was on the Golden Egg. If the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon hatched from it, there was no doubt that Ye Tian's life would be spared. However, if it failed to hatch, not only would Ye Huan's efforts be in vain but even their blood would have been shed for nothing!
With unwavering attention on the Golden Egg, Ye Huan failed to notice that even a single drop of Holy Dragon blood could dissolve Bone Poison derived from Ninth-Level Beasts in normal circumstances. Now that so much Holy Dragon blood had entered his body, what consequences might arise?
Time ticked away; approximately five minutes later by Ye Huan’s estimation, he had bled at least several basinfuls of blood. Yet inexplicably, the Golden Egg remained still without any sign of movement. Even Bai Yulin in mid-air began to struggle and shouted angrily: "Brother Ye! How much longer until this Golden Egg can hatch? At this rate, I won’t be able to hold on much longer!"
"You have to hold on! Otherwise, I’ll curse you to never rise from your bed for life!"
Patiently enduring while keeping his gaze fixed on the Golden Egg, Ye Huan uttered those words that nearly made Bai Yulin choke in mid-air.
Just as Bai Yulin contemplated whether he should stop dripping blood onto Ye Huan any longer, two sharp cracks echoed through the empty square—strikingly loud.
Hearing that sound clearly jolted Ye Huan; he focused intently on the top of the Golden Egg and soon noticed a crack forming at its apex as if it had been struck by a hammer.
"There's hope..."
Quietly murmuring to himself, in order to hasten the hatching of the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon from the Golden Egg, Ye Huan held the D80 Tiger Tooth Bayonet in his left hand and made a cut on his right wrist, allowing blood to flow down like a fountain. This was not an impulsive act; for others, such a wound on the wrist would surely lead to a painful death. However, for Ye Huan, as a Cultivator, he could fully utilize Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy to heal the wound at any moment, without worrying about bleeding to death.
Ye Huan's blood continuously drenched the Golden Egg, while the blood of the Holy Dragon poured over him. If anyone else were present, they would undoubtedly think this scene was some sort of dark ritual being performed by a demon. But those who knew him understood that he and Bai Yulin were doing this entirely to save someone.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
With a series of crisp sounds, after absorbing a large amount of Ye Huan's blood, the Golden Egg began to shatter more rapidly. After just a few minutes, a small piece of the shell at the top of the Golden Egg completely broke apart, revealing a tiny golden head. According to Ye Huan's memory, this head clearly belonged to a miniature version of the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon!
"Success!"
Overjoyed, Ye Huan let out a loud shout before he could even stop the bleeding. As a result of losing too much blood, he fainted right into a pool of his own blood. Bai Yulin, who had been looking down after hearing Ye Huan's shout, was startled and quickly transformed back into human form before descending rapidly.
Ignoring the still-small Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon beside him, Bai Yulin's first action upon landing was to hurriedly lift Ye Huan up. He even patted Ye Huan's face anxiously and asked, "Ye Huan? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine... I'm fine..."
Slowly opening his eyes, Ye Huan struggled to stand up and help Ye Tian with the poison. However, due to excessive blood loss, he fainted again. His severed wrist lay in the pool of Holy Dragon blood on the ground. Even Bai Yulin, who was supporting him with both hands, did not notice that from the wound on Ye Huan's right wrist, large amounts of Holy Dragon blood were continuously flowing into his body...
