Chapter 391: Seven-Colored Rainbow Pearl, Feather of the Red Luan (Three-in-One Chapter, Begging for)

Suddenly, a Flame Pillar and an ice pillar rushed toward the black dragon from behind.

The black dragon could not dodge in time and was hit directly by the two energy beams, but due to the existence of the Mystery Guard and its own powerful resistance, it did not suffer much injury.

It was Ning Bizhen who had taken the initiative to attack the black dragon; at this moment, she was riding the Three-Legged Fire Crow while holding the Cold Jade Rabbit in her arms.

During the few minutes of chasing the black dragon, Ning Bizhen had fed the two Spirit Beasts high-tier Healing Pills, which had allowed their injuries to recover significantly.

Originally, Ning Bizhen had no intention of attacking the black dragon, but seeing that the black dragon wanted to hunt for Li Zhangsheng, she, concerned for Li Zhangsheng's safety, immediately made up her mind to buy time for Li Zhangsheng regardless of her own safety.

"Foolish human, if you continue to attack, you will surely have to endure the wrath of the great Harikuchi!" The black dragon Hei Long Ha Li Ku Qi was anxious to retrieve its lost treasure and naturally did not want to be entangled by Ning Bizhen.

Ning Bizhen did not speak and continued to command the two Spirit Beasts to attack the black dragon.

Roar—

The black dragon let out a roar, and a water-blue circular shield appeared on its body surface, successfully resisting the long-range attacks from the Three-Legged Fire Crow and the Cold Jade Rabbit.

The next moment, the black dragon, emboldened by malice, immediately pounced toward Ning Bizhen, who immediately steered the Three-Legged Fire Crow to fly backward.

Due to the injury to its dragon wings, the black dragon's speed had slowed down quite a bit, but in the process of the chase, the black dragon suddenly discovered with sorrow that it was actually unable to catch up to the Three-Legged Fire Crow.

The black dragon chased for a distance, and seeing that it could not catch up to Ning Bizhen, it resolutely chose to give up, turned around, and ran.

"When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy retreats, we advance; when the enemy is tired, we harass!"

Ning Bizhen signaled the Three-Legged Fire Crow to approach the black dragon while commanding the Cold Jade Rabbit in her arms to continue launching long-range attacks.

Under Ning Bizhen's harassment, the black dragon felt a splitting headache. Firstly, its dragon wings were injured, making its speed inferior to the Three-Legged Fire Crow; secondly, its dragon body was too large, making it practically a living target.

Suddenly, the black dragon thought of a method; ignoring the attacks from behind, it led Ning Bizhen to continue moving forward.

Soon, a vast lake appeared in its sight, occupying a radius of several dozen miles, and it was also the most important water source for the wild Spirit Beasts in the vicinity.

At the first opportunity, the black dragon immediately dove into the lake.

There were a large number of powerful Water Attribute Spirit Beasts in the lake, but there were no Demon King-level Spirit Beasts. If it had been before it advanced, the black dragon would still have had some misgivings, but after becoming a Demon King, it was already quite good that it didn't go looking for trouble with others.

After the black dragon dove in, the lake water immediately became muddy and turbid, making it difficult to find the black dragon's trail again.

"Stop!"

The Three-Legged Fire Crow obeyed the order and stopped in the sky at the edge of the lake, keeping a distance from the lake to avoid the black dragon hiding and launching a sneak attack.

Ning Bizhen exerted her Mental Power to the fullest, constantly scanning a range of a thousand meters, but she never found the black dragon's trail.

After about a minute, Ning Bizhen suddenly looked into the distance and saw the black dragon emerging from the opposite side of the lake, disappearing into the dense forest in the blink of an eye.

"Chase after it!"

Without hesitation, Ning Bizhen once again steered the Three-Legged Fire Crow to chase after it, only she was clearly much more cautious than before.

Just as the Three-Legged Fire Crow reached the center of the lake, suddenly, an unusually thick Water Column rushed out from under the water, heading straight for the Three-Legged Fire Crow.

Ice Breath!

The Cold Jade Rabbit immediately condensed ice-blue radiance, spraying an ice-blue beam of light from its mouth, freezing the Water Column a step ahead.

Splash—

Countless ice fragments fell onto the water surface, splashing up a large number of ripples.

It was also at this moment that a huge black shadow leaped out from under the water; this was a large fish that was fully comparable to the size of the black dragon.

"Kun fish?" Ning Bizhen was startled, and the Three-Legged Fire Crow beneath her quickly ascended, successfully avoiding the opponent's leaping attack, and landed back in the large lake, splashing up countless water sprays and ripples.

"This Spirit Beast should possess the Bloodline of a Kun fish!" Ning Bizhen thought to herself; she had no intention of entangling with the opponent and just wanted to steer the Three-Legged Fire Crow to fly away from the lake.

Chirp—chirp—

Suddenly, two loud, clear cries rang out, and two large fire-red birds suddenly rushed out from the dense forest on the opposite side of the lake, heading straight toward Ning Bizhen.

Ning Bizhen understood the black dragon's plan to escape; it was nothing more than intimidating the powerful wild Spirit Beasts nearby to forcibly intercept her.

She tried to detour, but found that the two fire birds were very fast, not much slower than the Three-Legged Fire Crow, and coupled with the large fish launching attacks from time to time, this made Ning Bizhen somewhat exhausted and unable to immediately shake off their entanglement.

In this situation, Ning Bizhen could only settle for the next best thing, focusing on commanding the two Spirit Beasts to deal with them, preparing to finish them off as quickly as possible before going to chase the black dragon.

Several dozen miles away, Li Zhangsheng was riding Aixi to escape; at this moment, he had already changed into a set of clothes and, at the same time, smeared some messy things on his body, trying his best to conceal his aura.

Li Zhangsheng did not know that the black dragon's dragon wings were injured and its speed had slowed down significantly, nor did he know that Ning Bizhen had disregarded her own safety to buy him some time, and he knew even less that at this moment he had already put a full distance of several dozen miles between himself and the black dragon.

Roar—

Suddenly, a vigorous and resonant roar rang out, and a huge black wolf pounced toward Li Zhangsheng.

"Darkness Demon Wolf King!" Li Zhangsheng's expression was slightly solemn; he had not encountered many wild Spirit Beasts along the way, and they had all been easily shaken off by Aixi's speed.

The reason was simple: the black dragon had driven away the wild Spirit Beasts within a hundred-mile radius, resulting in a much lower density of wild Spirit Beasts.

【Spirit Beast Name】: Darkness Demon Wolf King (Mature Stage, High-tier Exotic Beast)

【Spirit Beast Realm】: Leader 3rd Rank

【Spirit Beast Race】: High-level Commander

【Spirit Beast Quality】: Mid-grade

【Spirit Beast Bloodline】: Heavenly Wolf (Pure)

【Spirit Beast Attribute】: Darkness

【Spirit Beast Status】: Healthy

【Spirit Beast Weakness】: Light

Seeing the Darkness Demon Wolf King pounce, Aixi collided with it directly; because the various buffs on its body had not yet disappeared, its strength was much more powerful than in normal times.

Bang—

Accompanied by a muffled sound, the Darkness Demon Wolf King whimpered and was directly knocked flying by Aixi, smashing fiercely into a large tree.

Aixi rushed up again and slapped the Darkness Demon Wolf King, which had just stood up, back to the ground, directly causing it to fall into a state of severe injury.

"Don't kill it!" Just as Aixi wanted to bite the Darkness Demon Wolf King to death, Li Zhangsheng stopped it; even though Aixi was in a state of Bloodthirsty Frenzy, it still stopped its behavior with tenacious willpower.

Aixi hurriedly stopped, but those cold, sharp fangs still gave the Darkness Demon Wolf King a fright.

Li Zhangsheng immediately took out several unwashed clothes from his Space Ring and, under the influence of his Mental Power, tied these clothes randomly onto the Darkness Demon Wolf King's body and tail.

Roar—

Under Li Zhangsheng's instruction, Aixi released the Dark Demon Wolf King and let out a roar; the latter tucked its tail between its legs and fled in a panic into the depths of the dense forest, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"Let's go!"

With Li Zhangsheng steering, Aixi left in the other direction. After encountering the Dark Demon Wolf King, Li Zhangsheng felt it was highly likely that this was no longer the territory of Hei Long Ha Li Ku Qi, so he prepared to start maneuvering around here.

In the time that followed, Li Zhangsheng used the same method to set up a diversion, letting several wild Spirit Beasts run around with some of his personal belongings.

In this way, the difficulty for Hei Long Ha Li Ku Qi to find him by relying on scent was undoubtedly increased significantly.

It was also at this moment that Aixi's body size shrank rapidly, the red glow in her eyes vanished, and she revealed intense exhaustion and weakness; her legs went soft, and she nearly caused Li Zhangsheng to fall to the ground. The duration of the Bloodthirsty Frenzy Secret Technique had ended, and the aftereffects were beginning to appear.

"You've worked hard, Aixi!"

Li Zhangsheng recalled Aixi and released the Blazing Bird. Ignoring the high temperature on the Blazing Bird's body, he resolutely sat upon it.

Compared to the Light Bird, the Blazing Bird's speed was undoubtedly faster. At a time like this, he could only ignore the protests from beneath him and ride the Blazing Bird in low-altitude flight.

This was the Silent Forest; flying at high altitude was too dangerous, and without any cover, it was easy to be discovered by Hei Long Ha Li Ku Qi.

Without hesitation, Li Zhangsheng applied a series of buffs, excluding Bloodthirsty Frenzy, onto the Blazing Bird, and incidentally changed the Treasure the Blazing Bird was carrying, which also caused its speed to surge by a large margin.

"Huh, a giant rock resembling an ox head; could that be the location of the Danwang Biefu!"

Amidst the lightning-fast speed, Li Zhangsheng suddenly stared in surprise at the distance. A giant ox-head-shaped rock stood there; even from several miles away, he could still feel its enormity.

Li Zhangsheng immediately took out the map of the Danwang Biefu. He examined it carefully and confirmed that it was indeed the location of the Danwang Biefu.

Unfortunately, he was still in the middle of fleeing, so he immediately suppressed the thought of going to explore it, preparing to come back when he had the chance in the future.

It took about half an hour for Li Zhangsheng to wretchedly steer the Blazing Bird out of the Silent Forest. He did not dare to return to Luo City for fear of bringing disaster upon it, and instead steered the Blazing Bird to fly in the direction of the Yuanling Academy.

The Yuanling Academy was the safest place Li Zhangsheng could think of.

Even if Hei Long Ha Li Ku Qi's combat power was not bad, if it broke into the Yuanling Academy, it would very likely become a dead dragon.

While Li Zhangsheng was flying toward the Yuanling Academy, Hei Long Ha Li Ku Qi was currently stepping on a Dark Demon Wolf King in quite a frustrated manner; it had finally managed to track him by scent, only to discover that it had been played for a fool.

Roar—

Hei Long Ha Li Ku Qi let out an angry roar and stomped the Dark Demon Wolf King into a meat patty with one foot, its nose twitching constantly as it continued to search for Li Zhangsheng's scent.

The poor dragon searched bitterly in the dense forest for several hours, and its only harvest was catching several wild Spirit Beasts carrying Li Zhangsheng's personal belongings; without exception, they all became targets for Hei Long Ha Li Ku Qi's venting.

It was also at this time that Li Zhangsheng finally returned to the Yuanling Academy. He did not immediately digest his spoils but instead met with Vice Principal Xu to request support.

Although the invasion by Hei Long Ha Li Ku Qi had been resolved this time, no one knew if it would continue to invade Luo City after relocating its Dragon Lair.

Although it was currently the holiday period, Vice Principal Xu was still at the Yuanling Academy, only he was not working in the Administrative Building but was leisurely drinking tea in his courtyard.

Vice Principal Xu was quite surprised by Li Zhangsheng's arrival, but he still immediately welcomed him in.

"Changsheng, you've only been on holiday for three days, why have you returned?"

"Principal, Luo City is in trouble, I had to come!" Li Zhangsheng told him about the matter of Hei Long Ha Li Ku Qi, naturally omitting the part about the Ancestral Black Dragon.

"A fifty-meter-long Demon King-level black dragon, that is quite rare. This black dragon can be considered to have a unique talent; it already has a trend of Atavism!!"

Vice Principal Xu stroked his graying beard; he had once seen a Demon King-level green dragon, and it was less than forty meters long.

"Since it has already retreated, it presumably won't invade Luo City again in the short term. How about this, I will handle the matters at hand first, and you will accompany me to Luo City in two hours!"

This matter had nothing to do with Vice Principal Xu, but he valued Li Zhangsheng highly, and coupled with his curiosity about the fifty-meter-long black dragon, he was inclined to go and see it for himself, and incidentally go to Luo City to farm some reputation; at the very least, he had to eliminate the threat the black dragon posed to Luo City.

"Many thanks, Principal!"

Li Zhangsheng took his leave with a feeling of joy. Although Hei Long Ha Li Ku Qi was powerful, he did not believe Vice Principal Xu could not defeat it; even if he could not keep it there, he could at least teach the opponent a lesson.

Li Zhangsheng thought for a moment and arrived at his Number One Courtyard.

The few servants in the courtyard were all quite surprised by Li Zhangsheng's arrival, and they hurriedly restrained the relaxed expressions on their faces and busied themselves diligently.

"Alright, alright, I'm just staying here for a while, no need to prepare dinner, you all go and have a good rest!"

Li Zhangsheng stopped them, stepped into his bedroom, and conveniently activated the Breath Concealment Restriction in the room to begin checking his harvest this time.

This time, the main harvest was several tons of Ancestral Black Dragon flesh and blood, as well as a small amount of Dragon Scale and Dragon Skin. The flesh and blood could be used to refine Ancestral Black Dragon Essence Blood, and the Dragon Scale and Dragon Skin could be used to craft Treasures; with the grade of the Ancestral Black Dragon, it could definitely craft Top-Grade Treasures.

"Should I have a Dragon Scale Armor made?"

Li Zhangsheng thought to himself; with the toughness of the Ancestral Black Dragon's skin and scales, if it were crafted into a Dragon Scale Armor, it would definitely greatly increase his safety.

Soon, Li Zhangsheng suppressed this thought. To craft a Dragon Scale Armor, one must first find a master proficient in armor-making. The Yuanling Academy did have one, but it was still the holiday period, so he would wait until school started.

The next moment, Li Zhangsheng waved his right hand, and a small mountain piled with Soul Crystals suddenly appeared in the bedroom. These were the Soul Crystals that Hei Long Ha Li Ku Qi had collected over hundreds of years; the quantity was naturally quite large, it was just that the quality was a bit poor.

Li Zhangsheng scanned them with his Mental Power for a while and obtained the exact data.

In this mountain of Soul Crystals, there was a total of one Superior Soul Crystal, 76 Medium-grade Soul Crystals, and several thousand Low-grade Soul Crystals, with a total value of over twenty thousand Soul Crystals.

After putting away the mountain of Soul Crystals, Li Zhangsheng immediately released a small mountain composed of various treasures. There were nearly a hundred of these treasures, and their appearances were all very brilliant, which very much fit the aesthetic of a dragon.

Li Zhangsheng picked one up at random; it was an irregularly shaped piece of golden jade, flickering with wisps of golden light.

"Yaohua Gold Jade!"

With just one glance, Li Zhangsheng recognized the name and effect of the golden jade.

Yaohua Gold Jade: Gold Element treasure, can increase the probability of Gold Element Demon Pets breaking through bottlenecks. Note: Only effective for Demon Pets below Leader level; non-Gold Element Demon Pets must not use it.

It was also a treasure for increasing breakthrough bottlenecks, but compared to Fire Essence, Yaohua Gold Jade was clearly a grade higher; it even had effects on Elite-level Demon Pets, and was worth at least a thousand Soul Crystals.

For the next half hour or so, Li Zhangsheng carefully appraised every treasure, and only then did he finally finish appraising them all.

The quality of this batch of treasures could only be described as uneven; Yaohua Gold Jade was considered relatively excellent among them, while worse ones were everywhere.

This was also something that could not be helped, as these treasures were all collectibles of Hei Long Ha Li Ku Qi before it advanced to the Demon King level.

However, Li Zhangsheng still found a few Heavenly Essence Grade treasures: a Nine-Star Begonia, a Thunder Element Crystal the size of an adult's fist, and a Top-Grade Fire Element Treasure.

The Nine-Star Begonia went without saying; it was the most scarce main ingredient for the Ancient Speed Enhancement Potion. Li Zhangsheng believed he would be able to refine Ancient Speed Enhancement Potion again very soon.

The Thunder Element Crystal could increase the Elemental Power of a Thunder Spirit and also had a certain effect on Thunder Attribute Demon Pets.

Red Luan Feather: Top-Grade Fire Element Treasure, crafted from the feathers of a Red Luan and dozens of auxiliary materials; it can increase the power of Fire Attribute Demon Pet fire skills by fifty percent, while also increasing the probability of fire burns.

Being both Top-Grade Treasures, the Red Luan Feather was naturally a bit inferior to Titan's Grasp, yet it was a grade stronger than the Thunderbird Feather because it also came with an increased probability of fire burns.

"Let's use it for the Blazing Bird!"

No matter what attribute a Top-Grade Treasure might be, Li Zhangsheng always had a suitable Demon Pet to equip it.

After putting away these treasures, Li Zhangsheng moved out the final small mountain of jewelry; he had previously scanned it with his Mental Power and found several pieces of jewelry containing energy, one of which was quite intense—based on past experience, it was at least a Heavenly Essence Grade treasure.

Following the energy fluctuations, Li Zhangsheng quickly fished them out.

Among them, a seven-colored pearl was the piece of jewelry with the most intense energy.

Li Zhangsheng pinched the seven-colored pearl; it looked like a glass marble and was about the same size, with a rainbow composed of seven different colors inside.

"Seven-Colored Rainbow Pearl!"

Li Zhangsheng carefully appraised it, his expression suddenly becoming excited; this Seven-Colored Rainbow Pearl, like the Life Essence, could to a certain extent heal a Demon Pet's congenital deficiencies while also carrying certain special effects.

Adai had once consumed Life Essence, which significantly improved its congenital deficiencies; if it were to consume the Seven-Colored Rainbow Pearl as well, it might completely improve its congenital deficiencies while simultaneously gaining special benefits.

After checking all his gains, Li Zhangsheng couldn't wait to go to the backyard and immediately summoned Adai.

"Adai, eat it!"

Li Zhangsheng had never been stingy with his own Demon Pets; after all, they shared in each other's glory and losses.

Li Zhangsheng tossed it casually, and Adai subconsciously opened its mouth, the Seven-Colored Rainbow Pearl falling right in.

Gulp~

After swallowing the Seven-Colored Rainbow Pearl, Adai only felt a special aura beginning to spread through its body, its whole body gradually becoming unbearably itchy and sore, while its skin faintly radiated a seven-colored glow.

The flesh, meridians, and bones within Adai's body were like a long-parched land meeting sweet rain, crazily devouring this seven-colored energy, and the problem of its congenital deficiencies was slowly being repaired.

During this process, Adai's body size grew larger again, and its momentum also gained a certain improvement.

By the time the changes disappeared, Adai's body size had approached 12 meters, looking exceptionally sturdy.

At this moment, Adai only felt that its body was filled with inexhaustible strength; the original feeling of powerlessness had completely vanished, and it had never felt so relaxed before.

Roar~

Adai let out an excited roar, and suddenly, a Seven-Colored Auspicious Cloud condensed beneath it, actually lifting the more than ten-ton Adai into the air.

"Holy crap, flight ability!" Li Zhangsheng could not help but be somewhat surprised, followed immediately by excitement; this was a good thing, wasn't it!

However, during the test, although the Seven-Colored Auspicious Cloud under Adai's feet flew fast, it was far less flexible than a flying Spirit Beast, but Li Zhangsheng was already very satisfied; after all, Adai hadn't grown wings.

In this way, Li Zhangsheng could be considered to have added a member to his flying Demon Pets.

The Life Essence had allowed Adai to gain the Life Aura and strengthened its Wood Element resistance, while the Seven-Colored Rainbow Pearl had allowed it to gain flight ability; as for the most noble and rare Xuanqiong Five-Colored Glazed Fruit, the effect must be even more astonishing.

At the first opportunity, Li Zhangsheng couldn't wait to check the data of the Savage Giant Beast.

【Spirit Beast Name】: Savage Giant Beast (Growth Stage) 《Congenital deficiencies completely improved, in all aspects not inferior to an ordinary Savage Giant Beast; if the Xuanqiong Five-Colored Glazed Fruit is used, the effect will be even better; due to absorbing Life Essence and Life Jade, it has gained a special ability—Life Aura; due to absorbing the Seven-Colored Rainbow Pearl, it has gained flight ability. 》

【Spirit Beast Realm】: Elite 2nd Rank

【Spirit Beast Race】: High-level Commander

【Spirit Beast Quality】: Top-Grade

【Spirit Beast Bloodline】: Golden Behemoth (Pure)

【Spirit Beast Attribute】: Earth + Metal

【Spirit Beast Status】: Healthy

【Spirit Beast Weakness】: Fire 《With the help of Life Essence, the Savage Giant Beast's Wood Element resistance has greatly increased, and it is no longer as afraid of Wood Element energy as it was in the past》

Benefiting from the effects of the Seven-Colored Rainbow Pearl, the Savage Giant Beast successfully perfected its foundation and simultaneously took the opportunity to gain flight ability, strengthening its striking power against the air; it no longer had to rely on jumping to attack Spirit Beasts in the sky as it did in the past.

At this time, Li Zhangsheng took out three stalks of Dragon Whisker Grass; if ordinary Dragon Whisker Grass could only be considered in the category of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object, then Dragon Whisker Grass permeated by the aura of an ancestral black dragon had definitely reached the Heavenly Essence Grade, capable of wandering freely in a special space for a period of time.

Aixi had once consumed Dragon Whisker Grass and used it to comprehend the exceptionally powerful Wind Speed Characteristic, which was how it embarked on the path of "only speed is unbreakable."

This time, Li Zhangsheng decided to give these three stalks of Dragon Whisker Grass to Kailan, Adai, and Yuangungun to consume, because they all only had one characteristic, meeting the consumption standard for Dragon Whisker Grass.

"Let Kailan try it first; with Kailan's intelligence, she will definitely gain an excellent characteristic, and by the way, accumulate some experience for Adai and Yuangungun!"

In view of Adai's blockhead nature and Yuangungun's level of Laziness, Li Zhangsheng decided to let Kailan set an example first.

Li Zhangsheng summoned Kailan and Yuangungun and handed a stalk of Dragon Whisker Grass to Kailan.

"Kailan, eat it!"

Kailan nodded obediently, stuffed the Dragon Whisker Grass into her small mouth, chewed it carefully, and soon swallowed the chewed-up Dragon Whisker Grass.
