Dragon Tamer

Chapter 365: Chapter 367: Never Died Before, Have You?
The water waves were gentle, as the mangrove forest on the wetlands swayed their leaves in response to the breeze, in rhythm with the sea.

Zhu Minglang sat down on the spot and fed some Wutong Spirit Dew to the battle-weary Little Azure Dragon.

No sooner had it finished drinking, than Zhu Minglang felt a warmth slowly spreading from Little Qingzhuo’s feathers to the surroundings.

It was a scorching holy light that seeped out slowly from the brilliant feather patterns, almost like a crystalline light fluid flowing over the body of the Little Azure Dragon. As it flowed, it seemed as if some ancient power was awakening within.

“Has it advanced?” Zhu Minglang said with joy.

He had thought it would take three or four days, and he was even concerned whether Little Qingzhuo would be able to make it in time for the challenge.

It turned out that taking on an enemy much stronger than oneself could significantly shorten the growth period!

“This is the Spirit Jade Leaf, keep it in your mouth,” Zhu Minglang immediately brought out the prepared spiritual object.

The Jade Leaf was a kind of spiritual object that could enhance the dragons’ natural law abilities, which Zhu Minglang had purchased for 40,000 gold.

Now that he had the chance to rear the dragon again, Zhu Minglang naturally did his best to provide Little Azure Dragon with the most perfect resources, including the fact that it could also digest some spiritual energy during the improvement process, such as this Spirit Jade Leaf.

Kept in the mouth, the saliva secreted by the dragon would slowly dissolve the spiritual source within the Spirit Jade Leaf, cleansing the dragon’s internal organs in a very gentle manner that enhanced the purity and efficacy of its powerful spells.

Little Qingzhuo held the Spirit Jade Leaf in its mouth and climbed into the Spirit Realm by itself, wrapped in warm spiritual energy that made it extremely comfortable, especially after the fatigues of battle—and with that comfort came a strong desire to sleep.

Lying in its little nest, the feathers on Little Azure Dragon continued to shine, like a Divine Stone capable of radiating its own power.

Its body grew bit by bit, as its short, leaf-like feathers gradually lengthened, some majestically covering its back and neck, and others like soft and silky fluff, drifting between the wings and tail…

In its juvenile phase, Zhu Minglang thought it resembled a green hawk, displaying many hawk-like traits, but now the form it was taking on was clearly that of an unripe phoenix – the name Azure Phoenix perfectly reflected in its brilliant and regal fluff and its streamlined shape!

Azure Phoenix Green Saint Dragon!!

Zhu Minglang gazed at Little Qingzhuo’s transformation, feeling even more delighted.

Now in just its second growth stage, it was already showing a vigor that was not inferior to that of the Divine Green Holy Dragon in its adult phase!

Furthermore, having shed the attribute of a Disabled Dragon, Little Qingzhuo exuded an overflowing vitality, like eternal sunshine above the azure sky—strong, majestic, incomparable!

Before long, Little Qingzhuo had fallen into a deep sleep, its body still undergoing subtle changes, whose extraordinary nature would only be gradually recognized.

“The challenge in three days is up to you,” Zhu Minglang also took a long, relieved breath.

If it hadn’t reached its growth period, the situation would have been quite awkward – Heavenly Slaughter Dragon would definitely not deign to appear at such an event, seeing such a challenge and duel as no different from a bunch of summer insects fighting over a clump of grass.

“Ngh~~~~~~~~~~~”

Apparently awakened by Little Qingzhuo’s shedding light, the TianSha Dragon King stretched its starry wings and let out a roar towards Zhu Minglang, indicating that the Dragon King wanted to stretch its limbs.

Zhu Minglang opened the seal, allowing the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon to come out.

“This is the Neon Sea; let’s take a stroll here,” Zhu Minglang leapt onto the back of the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon.

The Heavenly Slaughter Dragon seemed to see the ocean for the first time.

Most of the time, it lurked within those levitating cliff ruins. After all, the ruins formed a fragmented zone with a narrow sky and limited earth, whereas an endless and magnificent sea like this was surely a novelty to the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon.

It moved its wing bones once more, ready to take off and soar toward the azure sea and the high heavens, when from the lush and boundless mangrove forest of the wetland, a large group of lizard water monsters crawled out!

These lizard water monsters seemed to come to the aid of their leader, in great numbers; some crawled out of the sea, some scuttled out in groups from the forest, and others surrounded from the land!

Hundreds upon thousands of lizard water monsters, like a race war, with cultivation bases ranging from a hundred to nine hundred years and sizes varying tremendously, came charging majestically and with an unstoppable momentum!

The leader was a nine-hundred-year-old colored lizard, emitting a low growl as if to challenge the young Little Azure Dragon…

The vision of the lizard clan was not very good; they often needed to approach very close to clearly see an object.

However, when they completely approached and saw the Colorful Star Dragon on the sandbank, one after another, their fierce lizard faces turned to stupor!

Which blind little demon is this!!

You tell this lizard, this is a newly born Little Sacred Dragon???

“Gurgle gurgle gurgle~~~~” At the sea, some lizard demons were already scared out of their wits, and when one plunged into the water, it almost got choked to death by the sea.

On land, those lizard water monsters with centuries of cultivation base, like seeing a ghost, were frantically digging into the ground, burrowing into the earth as if their lives depended on it!

Keep in mind that the gravel on land is not as soft as that on the beach…

But even if they hit solid rock, they must dig!!

As for those lizard water monsters emerging from the mangrove forest, with nowhere to run, they were too close to the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon, so they tried their best to feign a mental handicap, like a herd of harmless little lizards, or simply pretended to be rocks on the edge of the beach…

“Ngh~~~~~~~” The Heavenly Slaughter Dragon exhaled a breath from its nostrils.

What are you trying to do?

Never died, have you?

This exhalation, scared the surrounding lizard water monsters into flipping over, bellies up and spines and heads down…

The lizard clan had a fatal flaw; that was, in extreme fright, their brains would secrete a paralyzing substance, causing their bodies to lose all coordination, unable to tell up from down.

Resulting in this scene where one after another, flipped belly up, terrified out of their wits, and could only struggle frantically in the air with their short, chubby claws, like upside-down turtles, wanting to flee but unable to move a step!

Zhu Minglang also laughed.

The fierce and malevolent lizard water monster clan also had such a silly and adorable side.

Lifting its wings, the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon was too lazy to even glance at the group of little lizards, freely gliding through the vast expanse of the ocean and sky.

The beach and the ocean gradually receded, Zhu Minglang sat on the back of the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon, looked back, and noticed the uniformly bright white bellies of the lizard water monsters, guessing they wouldn’t be flipping over any time soon.

“Fly toward the distant sea. It’s said that there’s a Spirit Island there, and I wonder if we might stumble upon a Phoenix,” Zhu Minglang said.

“Ngh~~~~~~”

The Heavenly Slaughter Dragon lifted its wicked and cool head, with an arrogant look as if this Dragon King would fly wherever it pleased.

But its flying direction was roughly the one Zhu Minglang had indicated.
