“Hisssss——–”
The Ghost Wife Evil Spider suddenly crawled upside down out of thin air as if there were an invisible wall of air, allowing its claws to adhere to it.
Reaching midair, the Ghost Wife Evil Spider suddenly let out a piercing screech.
As it screeched, holes on its back squirted thick black toxic fog in all directions. The fog was as scorching as steam, and it spread at an alarming rate.
Before long, the black fog shrouded the forest. Within the toxic fog, one could see dark red ghostly fires meandering through, the black fog acting as a deep pool for these ghostly flames!
The black fog was highly toxic, and the vegetation that the Divine Green Holy Dragon had imbued with vitality was withering and dying. Even the vines and old roots were gradually turning into a heap of dry charcoal…
And those ghostly fires, increasing in number, flitted about like spectral creatures, swirling around the Divine Green Holy Dragon before suddenly exploding within the black poisonous fog!
The ghostly fires and toxic fog erupted instantly, unleashing terrifying powers of burning and searing poison. The scales and feathers on the Forest Giant Dragon and the Little Forest Dragon immediately suffered from rot and poison; their skin split and flesh burst open as they also endured the agony of the toxins.
In the midst of the black fog, the Divine Green Holy Dragon was somewhat hindered as well. Its green feathers became even more radiant, the Phenomenon of Sacred Dragon’s green glow exceedingly strong, yet it could only disperse the toxic fog and ghostly fires within a few dozen meters of itself.
The Ghost Wife Evil Spider landed back on the ground, concealing itself within the thick black poisonous fog, then stealthily made its way behind the Forest Giant Dragon and the Little Forest Dragon.
Sensing the Ghost Wife Evil Spider, the Forest Giant Dragon immediately caused the ground to tremble, forcing the Ghost Wife Evil Spider back.
The Ghost Wife Evil Spider quickly retreated, ready to continue hiding within the dense black fog…
“OOOOOH!!!!!!
Just then, behind the dense fog, a ferocious Violent Dragon covered in Silver Scale Heavy Armor burst forth, bending its body to reveal its silver horns and striking precisely at the Ghost Wife Evil Spider!
The Ghost Wife Evil Spider was flung away, crashing through several ancient pines before finally coming to a halt. Its hind limbs were broken, and several bones along its back, which had been spraying venomous steam, were visibly shattered; the black fog lightened considerably as a result.
“OOOH!!!”
Big Black Tooth was wildly domineering, and even as a Demon Spirit, the Ghost Wife Evil Spider couldn’t withstand a hit from the armored Black Tooth’s horns.
Upon seeing the Dark Cang Violent Dragon entering the battle, the Divine Green Holy Dragon joyfully cried out.
Why fight alone? If the Ghost Wife Evil Spider could spit out so many disgusting Human-head Red Spiders, didn’t he have any brothers?
“Qing Zhuo, entangle it!” Zhu Minglang’s voice resounded.
The Divine Green Holy Dragon lacked combat experience; after all, it had not been growing for very long and did not even know many of the true Holy Dragon arts.
“Mmmm——”
The Divine Green Holy Dragon raised its head as if calling to something buried deep within the earth.
The ground began to stir crazily, soil waves churned up, and innumerable thick old roots writhed and struck around. They were strong and powerful, even sturdier than those vines…
The Ghost Wife Evil Spider struggled to rise. Losing its hind two legs, its movement had become significantly slower. The giant roots from the soil whipped its body. And when they managed to knock it over, they quickly entwined around the Ghost Wife Evil Spider’s legs and torso!
The pine roots constricted extremely tightly, nearly twisting the body of the Ghost Wife Evil Spider to the point of breaking. But the Ghost Wife Evil Spider was also a fierce creature; as it was being bound, it actually broke off one of its own forelegs and then held the severed limb in its mouth to hack at the pine roots!
Having broken free, the Ghost Wife Evil Spider then saw the Violent Dragon in full-body silver armor lunging and biting towards it, its toxic fangs dropping down with immense power.
The Ghost Wife Evil Spider rolled to avoid. The ancient pine where it was just before splintered and burst with a clamping bite. Thinking it had evaded in panic, it was unaware the Black Ocean Violent Dragon grabbed the broken pine and ruthlessly slammed it towards the Ghost Wife Evil Spider.
“Bang!!!!!”
The Ghost Wife Evil Spider and the old pine clashed together, the impact crushing it so much that it spat out several dead red spider offspring, clearly those that had not yet merged with the people it had consumed, the lifeless things.
“Swoosh!”
The Divine Green Holy Dragon dove from the sky, its Iron Leaf Wings spinning like scythe blades. As it skimmed across the ground, it chopped the Ghost Wife Evil Spider cleanly into two.
From back to belly, the body was split in two, even the ground itself was cut open with a long crack. The Divine Green Holy Dragon’s wing cut boasted astonishing power, causing even Big Black Tooth to look on, dumbfounded.
“Don’t let your guard down, this thing isn’t dead!” at this moment, Zhu Minglang cautioned.
Both the Divine Green Holy Dragon and the Black Ocean Violent Dragon had failed to notice, after all, how could something cut in half possibly be alive.
But in fact, the Ghost Wife Evil Spider was not dead; during the time when both the Divine Green Holy Dragon and the Black Ocean Violent Dragon relaxed their guard, its two halves suddenly pounced!
The front half, the Ghost Wife Evil Spider bit towards the Divine Green Holy
Dragon. Its fangs, filled with deadly poison, could cause the organs of the Divine Green Holy Dragon to necrotize in a very short time, the venom being a hundred times stronger than the poisonous steam.
The back half, the posterior of the Ghost Wife Evil Spider also sprang up, spewing out a dozen Red Spiders from its abdomen, which flew towards the Black Ocean Violent Dragon and suddenly exploded as they drew close.
Inside the bodies of the Red Spiders was nothing but spectral fire. A dozen Red Spiders exploding at once created an even more terrifying blast of specter fire, which hit the unprepared Black Ocean Violent Dragon…
The Black Ocean Violent Dragon was repelled by the specter fire, its massive body also engulfed by the ghostly flames.
The Divine Green Holy Dragon was unable to react in time, the Ghost Wife Evil Spider’s final attack was too sudden, and even with Zhu Minglang’s shout, it was difficult to dodge.
“Roar!! !!! ”
The Forest Giant Dragon charged over, and when the Ghost Wife Demonic Spider bit towards the Divine Green Holy Dragon, it fiercely rammed her and sent her flying.
The Ghost Wife Demonic Spider’s last bite failed, and instead, her upper body was further shattered and mashed by the impact from the Forest Giant Dragon.
The Divine Green Holy Dragon immediately took to the air, its body spinning as its Iron Leaf Wings turned into a green disc in mid-air. When it gloriously spun, it emitted green blade-like sacred lights, slashing in turns at the front half of the Ghost Wife Demonic Spider’s body.
“Swoosh swoosh swoosh!!!!!”
The Ghost Wife Demonic Spider was sliced into pieces, its head no longer intact, its once tenacious vitality unable to mount any further attacks.
Meanwhile, the Black Ocean Violent Dragon emerged from the ghostly flames, looking bewildered, it glanced at its Silver Green Heavy Armor, which was hardly damaged…
It didn’t hurt much, nor was it injured.
Oh, it thought it was as good as dead, scared Black Treasure to death!
Turns out it’s that strong!!
The black fog began to dissipate, and Zhu Minglang approached, originally wanting to criticize these two for being so careless in the face of the Demon Spirit.
But then he thought, Little Qingzhuo is still very young after all and lacks battle experience.
And Big Black Tooth is still a Dragon Son, even if he realized the danger, his reaction speed couldn’t possibly match that of the Demon Spirit…
Both need to improve; they need more training in the future. They were nearly killed by this Ghost Wife Demonic Spider, a double kill, at that.
“One thousand seven hundred years, if this thing had eaten a dragon, I’m afraid nothing in this great forest could stand against it, and the cities beyond the forest would likely suffer as well,” said Zhu Minglang as he extended his hand to collect the soul of the Demon Spirit.
After death, one could tell how old it was by the depth of its soul. Luckily, it wasn’t over two thousand years old; otherwise, he would have to wake up Bai Qi, who was already deep in slumber.
Battle experience is indeed very important. Having gone through this, Zhu
Minglang felt that he would still need to train Big Black Tooth and Little Qingzhuo more in the future. If Bai Qi were to handle all the goblins and demons, the two of them would relax too much and find it difficult to improve and awaken.
The Demon Bead from the Demon Spirit he killed naturally belonged to him.
Zhu Minglang already heard the sounds of the approaching dragons from the Nan Family and also took the chance to let Little Qingzhuo bid farewell to its mother.
Little Qingzhuo did the right thing. It could abandon its brother to die, but the
Dragon Mother had always had feelings for them. If it had not been for the Dragon Mother’s timely charge that knocked away the Ghost Wife Demonic Spider’s venomous bite, Little Qingzhuo would have been in mortal danger.
“Hiss-
The Forest Giant Dragon suddenly yanked a Green Inverse Scale from its body and, bloodied, placed the scale before Zhu Minglang.
Zhu Minglang didn’t quite understand the action of the Dragon Mother, who had already slowly walked towards the deeper part of the pine forest. The Little Forest Dragon didn’t dare to raise its head to glance at the Divine Green Holy Dragon, even its walking required being dragged by the Dragon Mother…
It was very afraid, afraid that its younger brother would seek vengeance.
With Little Qingzhuo’s current strength, killing it would be easier than when it took advantage of its greater age to toss it off the cliff.
Zhu Minglang’s gaze fell on Little Qingzhuo and realized that it had no communication with the Dragon Mother at all. It stood there like a stranger, its pair of green vertical pupils looking elsewhere.
There was no need for recognition.
But it felt gratitude for the nurturing of the Dragon Mother, so it could not bear to see her killed by hunters.
And it seemed the Dragon Mother understood all of this, leaving behind a piece of Green Inverse Scale for Zhu Minglang, then taking the Little Forest Dragon, which was scared out of its wits, and retreating deep into the dense forest…
“We owe each other nothing from now on, and their life or death has nothing to do with you, right?” Zhu Minglang picked up the scale and sighed softly.
That was Little Qingzhuo’s attitude.
Little Qingzhuo would not forget the pain of being thrown into the gorge and impaled by thorns due to its weak body, but it also did not harbor hatred.
Because survival is cruel!
Perhaps the Dragon Mother, seeing Little Qingzhuo find a better fate, was also content. Otherwise, why leave the rare Green Inverse Scale to Zhu Minglang—it was the last thing she could do for Little Qingzhuo.
Looking at the injured and weary figure of the Dragon Mother and then at Little Qingzhuo, which never looked back at them…
Zhu Minglang’s emotions were complex.
Gently stroking Little Qingzhuo’s feathers with his hand, Zhu Minglang was connected to its soul, how could he not feel its emotions?
In the end, Little Qingzhuo was just a child, yet what it faced were things even adults would struggle with.
So be it.
Let them leave, and do not concern himself with their life or death anymore.
