It took much longer to return to the Azure Bull Python's territory than Zhao Xuan imagined. From the time he left in the morning to the time he returned, the sky was already filled with stars.
The night was as dark as ink, and the bright stars in the vast galaxy were as numerous as the sands of the Ganges. When Zhao Xuan dragged his scarred body back, there was already a quarrel beside the silent Azure Lake.
"Da Ming! Why did you say that to Zhao Xuan? Don't you know the dangers of the restricted area!"
Xiao Wu, with a frosty face, was teaching the Emperor Azure Bull Python of the Star Dou Forest a lesson.
In front of her, the Azure Bull Python, the overlord of the soul beasts, was as silent as a child being trained.
Next to it, the Titan ape sat quietly in the cross-legged position, looking at his nose and nose, as silent as a cicada, and glanced at the azure bull python with sympathy in his eyes.
Azure Bull Python secretly rolled his eyes, I didn't know this guy was so curious.
Xiao Wu gave the Azure Bull Python a sharp look, knowing that this guy probably did it unintentionally. However, looking at Hermione with a worried look on her face, Xiao Wu felt anxious in her heart, and she frowned towards the restricted area.
Looked around.
She also heard the dragon's roar not long ago. Although she had transformed into a human, the throbbing in her blood was still there, and she didn't know what happened inside.
"Hermione, don't worry, Zhao Xuan is so strong, he will be fine."
Xiao Wu comforted Hermione. Hermione's eyes were a little red. She stared in the direction of the restricted area. She subconsciously bit her red lips and murmured.
"That guy is so reckless...without caring about other people's feelings..."
When she wasn't paying attention, the azure bull python and the titan ape suddenly sensed something and looked towards a quiet forest.
Immediately afterwards, a somewhat helpless voice came out...
"I'm really sorry that I can't care about your feelings..."
The sudden sound startled Hermione and Xiao Wu, who subconsciously turned their heads to look at each other, then both looked delighted.
"Zhao Xuan?!"
Hermione stood up in excitement and ran all the way into Zhao Xuan's arms.
"I thought something happened to you!"
The girl said excitedly, the ends of her long golden hair beating on Zhao Xuan's face and stirring his heart.
Zhao Xuan reached out and touched the girl's head. The soft feeling of the long hair lingered on his fingertips. He stretched out his right hand to make a gesture, pinching his three fingers together, leaving a small distance between his index finger and thumb.
"Actually, it's just a little bit away from me, and something will really happen to me."
Zhao Xuan gestured.
His words stunned the girl. Hermione broke away from Zhao Xuan's mischievous hand, looked at him with wide eyes, hesitated for a while and asked tentatively: "What on earth happened?"
Zhao Xuan's face was full of bitterness. He looked around and found that the people and animals around him were looking at him with great curiosity, especially the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, with thick eyes.
A look of curiosity.
Moreover, there is still a hint of resentment in the eyes of the Azure Bull Python...
Zhao Xuan couldn't help but let out a dry cough. He heard Xiao Wu's scolding from a distance, and naturally knew the source of the Azure Bull Python's resentment. He couldn't help but say sorry.
Perhaps it was because of Zhao Xuan's sincere attitude, or perhaps because the Azure Bull Python noticed the injuries in Zhao Xuan's body and let him go. The Azure Ox Python's eyes became much gentler.
"As for what happened this time..."
Zhao Xuan glanced at everyone, especially Hermione, who was beside him with deep concern. He didn't hide anything and told everything.
This trip was really too dangerous, no matter how calm Zhao Xuan said it, everyone was still sweating for him, and the girl's hand squeezed his sleeve even more tightly.
In the silent forest, the beautiful night sky could only be seen through the hole above the small lake. The young man slowly told the story of his trip by the lake.
After Zhao Xuan finished speaking, the scene was silent for a long time. The two beasts were digesting the process of Zhao Xuan's trip. The ups and downs, thrills and excitement made several people's hearts beat faster.
"You mean... what you met was a golden-eyed black dragon? And the soul skill it used is called Dragon King's Claw?"
Suddenly, the Azure Bull Python spoke, and it sounded a little difficult, as if it had heard some extraordinary information.
"That's right, do you know it?" Zhao Xuan's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but ask.
The huge head of the azure bull python nodded lightly. Seeing the curiosity in Zhao Xuan's eyes, it shook its tail uneasily in the water, and a gentle splashing sound came from the lake.
"The black dragon you are talking about, if the prediction is correct, it should be Di Tian, the leader of the Black Dragon King clan!"
"Brother, why don't I know it?" Er Ming scratched his head.
The Azure Bull Python glanced at the Titan Giant Ape and said, "Back then, I only had a relationship with him once."
"In my opinion, it is the soul beast with the highest cultivation level that I have ever seen. When I was a ten thousand year soul beast, its cultivation level was already above that of a hundred thousand year soul beast. It has not been there for so many years.
Having seen it, I thought it had perished in a certain lightning disaster, but I didn't expect it to be hidden in a restricted area."
"Zhao Xuan, have you ever seen him in the restricted area..." Suddenly, Xiao Wu spoke from the side, but midway through her words, her eyes flickered, and she suddenly hesitated again.
Zhao Xuan was a little confused at first, then suddenly realized, shook his head and said: "Sorry, I didn't find any trace of your father..."
Xiao Wu's father once entered the restricted area, but never came back. Although Zhao Xuan felt that something must have happened to him after so many years, Xiao Wu obviously still had a glimmer of hope in his heart.
Hearing Zhao Xuan's answer, although it was expected, Xiao Wu was still a little disappointed.
"Is that so?"
The atmosphere was a little quiet for a moment, and Hermione wanted to comfort him, but she didn't know the cause of the matter and made no move for a while.
Er Ming looked at it and suddenly said in a low voice: "Brother, is the golden-eyed black dragon really strong? Zhao Xuan can be on a tie with me."
"Strong! Very strong!" The Azure Bull Python's tone was unspeakably heavy.
"The Black Dragon clan can be said to be the most powerful dragon clan except for the legendary Dragon God. The noble bloodline is far above other dragon clans. As the king of the clan, Di Tian's strength may be able to defeat our so-called hegemon in all directions.
.”
Having said this, the Azure Bull Python couldn't help but glance at Zhao Xuan: "By the way, Zhao Xuan, the Thousand Jun Ant you met later is also one of the overlords in all directions."
"But you are very lucky. There are three Thousand Jun Ants in total. They are three brothers who work together well. Even Er Ming will have trouble dealing with them together."
"They all have about 90,000 years of cultivation. One alone may not be too strong. You only met one, and a lucky blow severely damaged it. If you met three, in your current state, I'm afraid
We really won’t be able to see you anymore.”
Zhao Xuan was shocked, then smiled and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn't stay rashly, otherwise it would have been really dangerous this time.
Although I didn’t gain much from this trip, I came back safely. The so-called peace is blessing.
(I wish you all a happy New Year, all the best, good health, a harmonious family, a successful career, academic progress, abundant financial resources, and good luck in the Year of the Pig!)
