Chapter 226: The Reptile in the Eyes of the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon
As a top-tier Tenth-Level Beast, the Holy Dragon possesses formidable attack and defense capabilities. Unlike other magical beasts, the magic inherent to the Holy Dragon is a rare healing type. As long as it remains alive, it can heal even the most severe injuries in the blink of an eye. Its blood not only neutralizes various toxins from magical beasts but also has extraordinary strengthening effects.
Due to absorbing a significant amount of Holy Dragon blood in a short period, Ye Huan's complexion appeared slightly flushed, and his body temperature was alarmingly high, at least above sixty-five degrees. Fortunately, Bai Yulin was supporting Ye Huan; if it had been someone else, they might have been burned and let go without caring about Ye Huan's well-being.
Realizing something was off with Ye Huan, Bai Yulin cautiously cast a healing spell on him. However, to his astonishment, the healing magic had no effect; the wounds on Ye Huan's wrist and palm remained unchanged.
"No way! The healing magic didn't work?! I need to get you back first..."
Bai Yulin exclaimed in shock. Despite his tough exterior, he was unfazed by Ye Huan's intense heat and hoisted him onto his shoulder, planning to leave this place. However, he seemed to have forgotten about another life—a newly born Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon.
Unlike when they were in the Southern Xiongnu Empire, the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon, having just been born for only a few minutes, was pitifully small—only fifty centimeters long and as thick as a thumb at its waist. Its small eyes sparkled with life as it watched Ye Huan intently. After witnessing Bai Yulin lift Ye Huan onto his back, the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon made no immediate move. But as soon as Bai Yulin took a step toward their original direction, with a whoosh, the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon vanished from sight and reappeared floating right in front of Bai Yulin.
"Reptile, where are you taking him?"
It pointed a tiny claw at Ye Huan as if completely ignoring Bai Yulin. The words "reptile" came out sharply.
Suppressing his fear of the Hua Xia Guardian Beast Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon, Bai Yulin's first instinct upon seeing it was to avoid confrontation. However, when he heard the term "reptile," he lost his composure. After all, as a powerful Tenth Level Magical Beast Sacred Dragon on the Nine Provinces Continent, he had never been subjected to such an insult.
After scrutinizing the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon for a moment and comparing its size with his own arm, Bai Yulin steeled himself against the intense pressure emanating from it and shouted angrily, "On what basis do you call me a reptile?"
"Reptile! I'm asking you where you're taking him!"
Just as Bai Yulin feared, upon hearing his words, the newly born Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon exuded an overwhelming aura of authority. It repeated its earlier question while unleashing a powerful dragon pressure that surged toward Bai Yulin.
With a cough…
Bai Yulin spat out a mouthful of blood under the immense pressure. Strangely enough, there were no fluctuations of magical elements or Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy in the surroundings; it was bizarre beyond belief. Yet Bai Yulin understood that the dragon pressure from the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon could only target dragons!
Almost simultaneously, seemingly to validate Bai Yulin's perspective, within Ye Tian's room, Black Shadow Flower trembled uncontrollably with fear, clearly visible to Zuo Yi and Hua Tuo among others.
“Yohua Girl, what is this...”
As Liu Ruyan, Ye Huan's mother, rushed to inquire about Black Shadow Flower, her brow furrowed with worry for Ye Tian. Even as she spoke, a faint sorrow lingered in her expression.
Turning her head slightly, Black Shadow Flower cast her gaze toward Ye Huan's current position before she spoke softly, “The Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon has appeared. I can feel its dragon might!”
“Dragon might? Then why hasn’t Ye Huan shown up?”
Staring at Black Shadow Flower in shock, Zuo Yi couldn’t help but voice his concern for Ye Huan’s safety. Upon hearing Zuo Yi's words, Black Shadow Flower instantly understood why the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon would unleash a dragon might that could only target dragons. Her face paled as she stood frozen in place, murmuring in panic, “This is bad, Bai Yulin is in danger…”
“If Bai Yulin is in danger, then doesn’t that mean Ye Huan is also…”
Both Liu Ruyan and Zuo Yi clearly heard what Black Shadow Flower said. Upon learning that Bai Yulin was in danger, their first thought was about how it affected Ye Huan, who shared the same gender. They both rushed out of the room without waiting for Black Shadow Flower to finish speaking, hurrying toward the place where Ye Huan had left, leaving Black Shadow Flower alone behind.
Watching the two of them gradually move away, Black Shadow Flower quickly reacted and darted after them, moving much faster than Zuo Yi. In an instant, the room was left with only Hua Tuo and the unconscious Ye Tian.
Shaking his head with a bitter smile, Hua Tuo, glancing at the bed where Ye Tian lay, hoisted him onto his back. As he walked slowly toward where Ye Huan was located, he muttered softly to himself, “The Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon has been born. I suppose the guardian beasts of other countries will soon awaken as well. The world will fall into chaos again; what am I to do?”
…
The newly born Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon probably never imagined that Black Shadow Flower and the others were all rushing toward it. However, when it saw Ye Huan behind Bai Yulin, it thought of its hatchling and declared firmly, “Reptile, I’ll say this one last time: put down Ye Huan!”
“I’m not a reptile… my true form is a Holy Dragon!”
Unable to tolerate the tone of the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon, driven by pride as a dragon race member, Bai Yulin, despite blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, struggled and roared back. He was drenched as if caught in a rainstorm. After taking a couple of heavy breaths, he finally lifted his head to meet the gaze of the fifty-centimeter-long Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon. He then slowly explained, “Ye Huan is unconscious and burning up; I need to find someone to help him…”
“Help? Don’t worry; that’s not an illness. Just put him down! Reptile.”
With its head held high in arrogance, the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon dismissed what Bai Yulin said with disdain. It added another “reptile” at the end of its statement, infuriating Bai Yulin, who felt helpless yet again.
Looking at the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon with skepticism, after hesitating for a moment, Bai Yulin ultimately decided to trust its words. Carefully, he placed Ye Huan back on the ground and then asked the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon, “Can you tell me what’s wrong with Ye Huan?”
“You’d be better off stopping those who are coming here than worrying about him; it’s better than disturbing him right now…”
Falling from mid-air beside Ye Huan, the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon fixed its small eyes on the man who had hatched it. It spoke to Bai Yulin, not referring to him as a reptile this time, which made Bai Yulin feel a little better. He intended to ask who had arrived, but before he could speak, a fragrance wafted through the air, reminiscent of blooming roses.
"Black Shadow Flower?"
As a Tenth-Level Beast naturally imbued with dark magic, the Hell Dragon Black Yuhua was clearly much stronger than Bai Yulin. Thus, having never seen the Black Shadow Flower, Bai Yulin could only call out its name, hoping to test whether it was nearby or on its way.
It seemed that the Black Shadow Flower heard Bai Yulin's call. The air around him twisted, and the curvaceous figure of the Black Shadow Flower appeared before his eyes. Connecting this with what the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon had just said gave Bai Yulin a new understanding of its power. Despite its small size now, the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon was indeed formidable!
Realizing he could never match the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon's extraordinary abilities in this lifetime, Bai Yulin turned his gaze toward the Black Shadow Flower. Just as he was about to ask why she was there, Zuo Yi and the others arrived at that moment. Bai Yulin had no choice but to swallow his questions and quickly stopped them from advancing further, explaining, "Don't go any further. The Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon said Ye Huan is not in any serious danger, so you don't need to worry about his safety."
"Really?"
Hearing Bai Yulin's words and looking at Ye Huan lying unconscious on the ground, everyone felt that Bai Yulin was joking. Confusion spread across their faces. However, when they saw the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon beside Ye Huan, they could only suppress their doubts.
Born in Huaxia, everyone was familiar with the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon as a guardian beast of their culture. Having heard countless legends about it since childhood, they instinctively chose to believe everything the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon said upon witnessing its presence. In reality, the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon was correct; Ye Huan had absorbed a large amount of Holy Dragon blood and was merely experiencing high body temperature and unconsciousness due to inability to digest it. Otherwise, if Ye Huan were to die and revert back into a Golden Egg after being hatched by the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon, wouldn't that make it even more anxious than Bai Yulin?
Witnessing Bai Yulin stop everyone in their tracks, the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon used one of its nine claws to rummage through Ye Huan's belongings. It quickly found the Spatial Ring that Ye Huan wore on his hand. Prodding at it with its claw caused the Spatial Ring to tremble and unexpectedly eject a Beast Inner Pill without Ye Huan's permission. The sight of this Beast Inner Pill brought immense satisfaction to the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon; it even slightly opened its mouth as if smiling.
Grasping the Beast Inner Pill with its claw, the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon presented it before everyone and placed it into Ye Huan's mouth. If Ye Huan were awake, he would certainly have stopped this action because this Beast Inner Pill was precisely the inner core from Bai Yulin's Tenth Level Magical Beast Plant Queen!
