Chapter 196: The Broken Dragon Egg, the Key to Success or Failure. (24)

Endless frost surged from the body of the Ice Glazed Dragon, and a bone-chilling cold wind blew over.

Before long, a thick layer of white frost appeared on the ground.

The Paper Puppet let out a cold snort, and countless paper figures emerged from its hands.

They stacked upon one another, forming a Barrier that suppressed the Ice Glazed Dragon's draconic might and cold air.

A look of realization appeared in Ye Bai's eyes; as expected, Jiang Dashi would step in to suppress the Ice Glazed Dragon's draconic energy and icy cold.

A problem that had been thorny for him was solved just like that.

Ye Bai put on his gloves and carefully inspected it; although the Ice Glazed Dragon was still emitting a faint cold, it was much better than before.

Ye Bai pried open the Ice Glazed Dragon's eyelids, which felt as heavy as a thousand jun, and he saw thin black threads appearing in its pupils.

Evil energy was eroding the Ice Glazed Dragon's body.

This was not a good sign.

At the same time, he checked the Ice Glazed Dragon's other injuries; its dragon tail was twisted at a 90-degree angle, and its dragon bone was likely already deformed.

That the Ice Glazed Dragon could hold on until now was likely due to the tenacious vitality of its Dragon Bloodline supporting it.

Ye Bai had already discussed the surgical steps for treating the Ice Glazed Dragon in detail with Jiang Dashi.

The consensus reached by the two was that they must prioritize separating the Ice Glazed Dragon from the Glazed Dragon Egg.

This was to put the Ice Glazed Dragon at ease.

Only after the Glazed Dragon Egg was safe would the Ice Glazed Dragon be able to set its mind at ease and fight the black energy in its body.

"Strange, there wasn't this much black energy before."

"How did so much emerge in just the span of a night?"

"Jiang Dashi, could there be some kind of problem?"

"Could there be some variables in the surgery?"

Long Zhu was getting anxious, but Jiang Dashi shook his head gently, signaling Long Zhu to stay calm and wait until Ye Bai finished his inspection.

The Ice Glazed Dragon's basic condition was as Ye Bai had expected, but the black evil energy that had suddenly appeared on the Ice Glazed Dragon caught Ye Bai's attention.

The previous diagnostic report had no description of evil energy entering the body; this must have appeared only in the last few days.

However, this was for the best; it was much better for the black energy to erupt early than to erupt suddenly while Ye Bai was performing surgery, which would save him from being flustered and introducing uncontrollable risks to the operation.

Ye Bai walked out of the Barrier and let out a long sigh.

Upon hearing Ye Bai's sigh, Long Zhu's heart skipped a beat.

"How is it? What is the situation?"

Long Zhu asked anxiously.

"It's about the same as I expected, but the evil energy that suddenly erupted in its body will affect the success rate of the surgery."

"We need a treasure capable of suppressing evil energy, and we must conduct the experiment as soon as possible."

"I just discovered that the Ice Glazed Dragon's origin has been more than half consumed; if this continues, it will very likely die from exhaustion of its origin."

Ye Bai told Jiang Dashi and Long Zhu his assessment.

Jiang Dashi nodded slightly; Ye Bai's assessment was the same as his own.

"Then let's hurry up and perform the surgery."

"Long Zhu, use the Demon-Subduing Pestle you have contracted to suppress the evil energy."

"Before the Ice Glazed Dragon and the Glazed Dragon Egg are completely separated, do not let the evil energy become agitated."

"Otherwise, it will seriously affect the surgery, and if things go wrong, the Ice Glazed Dragon could be in mortal danger."

Jiang Dashi said a few words; this was directed at Long Zhu, but also a reminder to Ye Bai.

At this moment, the Ice Glazed Dragon suddenly opened its eyes, and Ye Bai saw desperate pleading in its deep gaze.

He understood what the Ice Glazed Dragon meant: save its child.

"Don't worry, Ice Glazed Dragon, I won't let you down."

"Everyone, let's start preparing for the experiment."

Ye Bai's Pet Beast squad put on their Sterile Suits one after another and entered the Barrier.

The Demon-Subduing Pestle was tossed into the air by Long Zhu, and bursts of Sanskrit chants emanated from it.

The body of the pestle was carved with dense, sesame-sized scriptures, flowing with a faint golden light, and the Buddha head in the center, representing the three expressions of laughter, anger, and scolding, was loudly chanting the scriptures.

The scriptures emitted a blinding golden light that fell upon the Ice Glazed Dragon.

The sound of a wooden fish being struck echoed through the air.

Stimulated by the Demon-Subduing Pestle, a large amount of evil energy emerged from the Ice Glazed Dragon's body.

Chilling winds blew and evil light flared as more and more black energy emerged, condensing into a mass that formed a twisted, ferocious face.

Ye Bai felt a bone-chilling, cold aura spreading through his body.

Long Zhu took a deep breath, his eyes like torches, staring straight at the source of the evil energy that had gathered and formed into a twisted, ferocious shape from within the Ice Glazed Dragon's body.

The entire body of the pestle was instantly enveloped in dazzling golden light, like a rising sun, piercing through the surrounding darkness and cold.

Under the illumination of the golden light, the evil energy dissolved rapidly like ice and snow meeting the scorching sun, emitting shrill wails and unwilling roars.

The Ice Glazed Dragon's body twitched violently, and it gritted its teeth; Ye Bai knew the evil energy was only temporarily suppressed.

Therefore, Ye Bai had to act quickly; he didn't know when the evil energy might have a major flare-up, which would certainly increase the difficulty of the surgery significantly.

The golden Demon-Subduing Pestle suppressed the evil energy, and the scales on the Ice Glazed Dragon's body turned back to ice blue.

"Dahui, paralyze the Ice Glazed Dragon."

Dahui nodded, and golden, crackling electric arcs appeared on its body.

It reached out its Zhua and tapped fiercely at the center of the Ice Glazed Dragon's brow, and the electric arcs coursed over the Ice Glazed Dragon's body.

The Ice Glazed Dragon, which had been twitching violently, returned to calm.

Dahui used an electric arc to sever the central sensory nerves of the Ice Glazed Dragon, preventing the Ice Glazed Dragon from feeling the slightest bit of pain.

This was also because the Demon-Subduing Pestle and the Paper Doll Puppet suppressed the dragon might and cold aura of the Ice Glazed Dragon; otherwise, Dahui would have been completely frozen solid before even getting close to the Ice Glazed Dragon, and things would not have gone so smoothly.

Dahui had to observe the state of the Ice Glazed Dragon at all times, using electric arcs from time to time to shield the Ice Glazed Dragon's perception of pain.

"Very good, Space Pelican, get ready. Aim at the Ice Glazed Dragon's abdomen and use Space Cut."

Facing the Indestructible dragon scales, the Space Pelican flapped its wings, and a small Space Cut the size of a thumb appeared.

It struck with all its might, and a hole the size of a thumb instantly appeared on the Ice Glazed Dragon's body.

Dark red blood gushed out like a spraying fountain.

The Sunflower Emperor took the brunt of it, blocking directly in front of Ye Bai, its petals absorbing the blood of the Ice Glazed Dragon.

In fact, the true protagonist was the Blood Pool hidden within the petals of the Sunflower Emperor.

The Blood Pool could convert the blood of the Ice Glazed Dragon into blood essence; the blood essence of a high-level Exotic Beast could improve the quality of the Blood Pool.

However, the roots of the Sunflower Emperor were also absorbing a small amount of the Ice Glazed Dragon's blood.

After all, this was a high-level Exotic Beast, which was also beneficial to the Sunflower Emperor.

The Sunflower Emperor felt as if it were in the dog days of summer, drinking an entire glass of ice-cold vodka.

It felt slightly tipsy, and a flush suddenly appeared on its face.

After the blood flow slowed down, Ye Bai summoned the True Dragon Sword.

This was a Surgical Knife specifically for surgery.

"True Dragon Sword."

A melodious dragon roar emanated from a bronze-colored precious sword.

Ye Bai held the True Dragon Sword in his hand and slashed at the intended location.

The flesh and blood of the Ice Glazed Dragon were highly resilient, just like elastic rubber.

Even with the True Dragon Sword in hand, Ye Bai had to exert all his strength to carve a one-meter-long incision in the Ice Glazed Dragon's abdomen.

"Dahui, help."

Dahui inserted its Zhua into the wound and used great force to open the Ice Glazed Dragon's abdomen.

However, Dahui was affected by the cold aura, and its body was already covered in a thick layer of frost.

"Little Charcoal Dog, help Dahui reinforce its flames."

The Little Charcoal Dog spat out a scorching flame from its mouth.

The flames landed on Dahui's body, helping Dahui warm its body, which had been stiffened by the freezing cold.

"Holy Light Shine."

The Sunflower Emperor split off several Clones, which acted like super-bright light bulbs, emitting intense light.

By this time, Ye Bai had already put on sunglasses, and he saw a Glazed Dragon Egg pulsing like a heart.

The hard shell that originally encased the life, those once smooth and delicate ice-blue patterns that shimmered with a soft luster, had now become incredibly fragile, covered in dense cracks, as if the eggshell would shatter instantly with the slightest touch of a fingertip.

The exterior of the eggshell was wrapped in circles of blood vessels, and strands of golden dragon aura origin were protecting the eggshell; the dragon aura had manifested into one Glazed Dragon after another, baring fangs and brandishing claws.

Meanwhile, strands of black evil aura were contending with the dragon aura origin, and under the stimulation of the intense light, they retreated quite a bit.

"Sunflower Emperor, use an even more intense Holy Light Shine."

Ye Bai emphasized once more, and light as bright as day instantly dispelled the endless dark night.

Under the illumination of the incandescent light, the evil auras retreated one after another, hiding themselves even deeper.

At this moment, it was necessary to finish the battle quickly; the longer it dragged on, the more time it gave the evil aura to recover.

"Very good, Ice Glazed Dragon, I know you are still conscious."

"I hope you can control your dragon-type origin and not attack us."

"You must remember, we are here to help you."

"Both you and your baby will be safe and sound."

Ye Bai said loudly to soothe the Ice Glazed Dragon; he knew that what the Ice Glazed Dragon treasured most in its heart was the Glazed Dragon Egg.

Driven by maternal love, the Ice Glazed Dragon would stop at nothing.

At this moment, the previously tense dragon aura momentum instantly weakened significantly; it seemed the Ice Glazed Dragon had understood Ye Bai's meaning.

"Come on, Sunflower Emperor, we must rely on your skills."

The Sunflower Emperor had already absorbed quite a bit of dragon blood, and its resistance to freezing had increased.

It split off several Clones and looked at the one-meter-tall Glazed Dragon Egg, feeling slightly nervous.

The current Glazed Dragon Egg was like a piece of broken porcelain; one wrong move, and the Glazed Dragon Egg would shatter directly.

This surgery would then be a complete failure.

The key to success or failure lay in the hands of the Sunflower Emperor.
