Chapter 495

When Li Yi was picking the golden apples, he had long anticipated that danger would descend; after all, such a treasure could not be taken away so easily. It's just that he didn't expect the danger here to be so terrifying. When that claw covering the sky and sun fell, his soul was warning him crazily.

This strike was enough to kill him; even with his divine bloodline and wearing the Flood Dragon Armor, he could not resist it.

That terrifying force was transmitted only through the air, making his legs sink and his body hunch, as if he were carrying a huge mountain on his back; even with ten thousand jin of strength, it would be difficult to move this mountain.

"Does this world also have such powerful creatures?" Li Yi's face changed drastically, but he couldn't care about anything else at this moment.

Picking eight golden apples was already the limit.

If he were to be greedy for more, he wouldn't even have time to cast spells to escape. No matter how good the things are, one must have a life to use them.

"Driving the Mist."

In an instant, Li Yi operated his Daoist techniques, magic power surged, and clouds and mist swirled around him. His whole person's figure was immediately hidden within, disappearing without a trace.

Then.

That clawed hand covered in scales fell with a bang.

The earth was cracking, the mountains were swaying, and the roaring sound was constant. This secret realm seemed to be facing the end of the world, and it seemed that it would be destroyed because of this strike. This power was extremely terrifying, and it was difficult for anything to survive under such an attack; even a Daoist practitioner like Li Yi, who is in the Five Qi Realm, could only use Daoist techniques to protect himself.

The clouds and mist permeating everywhere also dissipated with the smoke at this moment, but at the same time, a patch of clouds and mist condensed again, turning into a crimson auspicious cloud, shuttling through the crumbling mountains at an extremely fast speed. Facing the falling crumbling mountain, the auspicious cloud turned into clouds and mist and scattered, and then gathered again to form an auspicious cloud to escape.

Between gathering and scattering, the technique of riding clouds and driving mist switched back and forth, allowing Li Yi to escape danger time and time again at the fastest speed.

In just a few seconds, Li Yi had already fled far away, leaving the most dangerous area.

"Really dangerous, almost lost my life."

An auspicious cloud landed on a mountain range in the distance. Li Yi's figure was revealed; he subconsciously wiped his forehead, breaking out in a cold sweat.

What kind of creature was that, to be so terrifying?

However, huge movements were still coming from the distance. Countless mountains were disintegrating. The gemstone valley from before seemed to have experienced crustal movement at this moment; it had been lifted into the high sky by a huge force, and countless treasures were falling, splashing between the crumbling valleys.

And the culprit who caused all this was actually a wing.

At the same time, Li Yi also saw that the mountaintop where the golden apple tree was planted had turned into a huge head at some point. That head lifted, and then the mountain rocks cracked, and a huge black vertical pupil was revealed.

It was actually a dragon head.

It's just that this was not of the flood dragon kind, but a giant dragon from Western mythology.

But this giant dragon's body size was too huge; its body was like a mountain range, its wings were like a canyon, and its huge claws could cover a piece of the sky. Just by standing up, it almost destroyed everything in this secret realm, and the tree that grew the golden apples was parasitic on the giant dragon's head at this moment.

The root hairs were dense, spreading all over the giant dragon's body like blood vessels, and they were still continuously absorbing the essence of this giant dragon. Inside some thick blood vessels, there seemed to be special life gestating, with creeping heartbeats inside.

"This dragon is actually parasitized by an apple tree." Li Yi found it hard to imagine at this moment.

Clearly, the golden apple tree was only a few meters high, but the root hairs like blood vessels underneath were like a blood-red net, capturing this giant dragon, and parasitizing all over the giant dragon's body. As long as it was pulled, it would cause huge pain to this giant dragon.

Just now he picked eight golden apples, which caused the tree spirit old man to get angry, shaking its body, pulling the blood-vessel-like root hairs, and it was under the violent pain that it awakened the sleeping giant dragon.

It's just that he really couldn't imagine who would be so cruel to plant this golden apple tree in the body of such a huge giant dragon.

Roar!

However, the awakened giant dragon was roaring, and the huge sound waves echoed. In an instant, the gravel turned into dust, and everything in the valley ceased to exist.

And in the painful roar, this giant dragon raised its head, and then the sky seemed to be ignited. A shocking heat wave was emitted. Under the sweep of this heat wave, the sand and gravel were melting, and after these sand and gravel melted and cooled, they formed new gemstones.

This is also the origin of the gemstone valley.

Because the valley terrain is the lowest, magma would flow toward the lowest terrain.

A burst of light emerged from the giant dragon's throat, dazzling. It wanted to open its mouth to spray fire, but its mouth could not open because it was covered with dense red blood vessels. These blood vessels were the roots of the golden apple tree, sealing its mouth like needle and thread. It not only sealed the giant dragon's mouth but also entangled its wings, locking it firmly in this secret realm.

Flames splashed out from the remaining gap in the giant dragon's mouth. That firelight was as dazzling as gold, extremely yang and rigid, as if the sun had fallen, revealing a scorching corner.

But it was just this corner of firelight that ignited everything and melted all things.

"Not good." Li Yi hurriedly flipped his palm and took out the Mysterious Yellow Seal, then poured magic power into it. The Mysterious Yellow Seal flew above his head, dropping down Daoist talismans. These talismans wrapped him, resisting this shocking heat wave and avoiding the risk of him being roasted dry.

But even so, he was not having an easy time. The whole world seemed to be melting. If that golden flame did not extinguish, once his magic power was exhausted, he would be in great danger.

But this was only the aftermath.

If that ball of golden fire were sprayed, Li Yi doubted he would melt directly; after all, he could not fully exert the power of a top-level Daoist treasure yet.

"The strength of this giant dragon is definitely no worse than Xuan Yuezi's. If it weren't parasitized by the golden apple tree, it might even be able to defeat Xuan Yuezi in its peak state." Feeling this power, such a thought vaguely emerged in Li Yi's heart.

However, this awakened giant dragon didn't seem to be targeting Li Yi; it seemed to be targeting the dark sky above its head. That golden flame was also intended to burn the darkness in the sky, but after being trapped and its body parasitized, it was willing but unable to do all this.

The giant dragon roared and struggled constantly, but its strength was becoming weaker and weaker. A mouthful of golden flame could not melt the blood-red blood vessels no matter what. Finally, it lowered its head powerlessly, and its huge body lay on the earth again like a mountain, breathing heavily. "Kill, kill that barbaric robber thief, go find him quickly, he must not be allowed to live." However, the tree spirit old man of the golden apple tree was still issuing reprimands. It shook its body, pulling the dense blood-red root system, stimulating this giant dragon with pain, making it roar and howl again.

The sound wave struck, and everything turned into dust.

Seeing this, Li Yi hurriedly poured in magic power, letting the Mysterious Yellow Seal above his head drop down a few more talismans.

Fortunately, the attack of the sound wave was successfully resisted.

But his figure was also exposed.

Because there was no way to hide in this place at all. With such a large-scale attack coming, unless you can escape from here, you will definitely be exposed.

"There, found that robber, kill him, and I can reduce ten years of your painful torture."

The tree spirit old man let out a sharp cry, the sound was extremely ear-piercing, like steel needles inserted into a person's ears, making it unbearable. At the same time, it wriggled the other half of the root system, pulling the giant dragon, seemingly wanting to control this giant dragon to act according to the tree spirit old man's thoughts.

The giant dragon's head let out a muffled low roar at this moment. It shook its body, and although it was very reluctant, the huge pain made it have to twist its body in the other direction.

And this rotation happened to be aimed at Li Yi's location.

A pair of giant dragon eyes stared at Li Yi at this moment.

What is strange is that the giant dragon's other eye is not a black vertical pupil, but a golden vertical pupil. The expressions revealed by the two different eyes, one black and one gold, are completely different. The black eye is cold and evil, revealing ruthless cruelty, but the golden vertical pupil is painful and tormented, revealing human-like helplessness and fatigue.

"Hurry up, spit out dragon flames, melt that hateful robber and thief, don't even leave his bones behind. He stole my golden apples; I want to make him pay the price with his life." The tree spirit old man gave the order loudly. At the same time, it loosened a part of the blood-red root system, allowing the giant dragon's sealed mouth to reveal some gaps, making it convenient for the dragon flames to be sprayed out.

The giant dragon's throat lit up with scorching light again, and that ball of golden fire like the sun was revealed again.

"It's bad." Li Yi's hair stood on end at this moment; he felt an unimaginably terrifying crisis.

He couldn't care about anything else.

The auspicious cloud under his feet suddenly soared into the sky, turning into a crimson glow to flee elsewhere, pulling away the distance at the fastest speed to avoid being covered by that golden fire. At the same time, he also took out the Purple Gold Gourd.

If that golden flame struck, he would immediately hide in the Purple Gold Gourd, using this Daoist treasure to avoid the fate of being melted.

He hoped the Purple Gold Gourd could resist this dragon flame at that time.

"Hurry up, what are you waiting for?" The tree spirit old man pulled all the blood-red root systems, stinging the giant dragon's whole body and even its soul.

"Roar!"

The next moment, the dragon roared, and the golden flame at the corner of the giant dragon's mouth suddenly surged out. It was much more terrifying than Li Yi's Wind-Calling Technique. In an instant, it covered everything in the distance, burning the sky, and countless sparks fell, and the ground was also melting.

Li Yi thought he was going to be hit and just wanted to enter the Purple Gold Gourd, but then he discovered that this golden flame sprayed to his other side and was not aimed at him.

"Damn idiot, you sprayed in the wrong direction." The tree spirit old man shouted loudly.

The giant dragon then shook its head and moved its body. The golden flame that surged out did not stop and began to move toward the direction where Li Yi was.

But the speed of movement was not fast.

I don't know why, but Li Yi had a feeling that this giant dragon didn't want to kill him.

Otherwise, this fire-breathing creature, having breathed fire for a lifetime, couldn't possibly have missed on the first mouthful. This is just as absurd as a tiger that has hunted for a lifetime, chasing a rabbit with blurred eyes, and pouncing on a tree stump on the other side.

The one who really wanted to kill him was the tree spirit of the golden apple tree.

This giant dragon seemed to be controlled and could not be free.

But facing the increasingly close golden dragon flames, Li Yi didn't dare to gamble. He gave up running and directly used the Purple Gold Gourd to suck himself into it.

Following Li Yi's disappearance.

The next moment, the golden dragon flames arrived suddenly, instantly swallowing Li Yi along with everything around him.

"Good, very good, haha, this hateful robber, this time he paid the price he deserved for his greed and stupidity." Seeing this, the tree spirit old man let out a laugh: "Dragon of the World, you are becoming more and more obedient. This is very good. You can have a good sleep for the next ten years. This is my reward for you."

This giant dragon, named the Dragon of the World, then quickly retracted its dragon flames. Its huge body slowly crawled down again. A golden vertical pupil looked at the Purple Gold Gourd swallowed by the magma in the distance, and then it breathed out, setting off a storm, and the magma churned, drowning everything.

However, at this moment.

Li Yi inside the Purple Gold Gourd did not dare to be careless at all. He looked at the wall that had been burned red, his heart pounding, fearing that this Daoist treasure would be melted.

But fortunately, this situation did not occur.

The temperature inside the Purple Gold Gourd dropped rapidly again.

Obviously, the dragon flames outside stopped spraying very quickly.
