Protect Our Chief

But halfway through its howl, it abruptly stopped, swallowing the expected louder half, turning it into a gentle "whimper" instead, then crouching to the ground, pressing its head down tightly, slowly retreating into the cave.

It couldn’t help it because it saw a dragon burst out from the mysterious flying object.

That dragon grew in the wind, its body expanding larger and larger, in the blink of an eye transforming into a Primordial Water Cyan Dragon, seven or eight zhang long.

All its jade-like green scales shimmered like emeralds, edges sharp as knives, its stout dragon body brimming with strength, claws gleaming with a chilling light, and atop its head, the golden dragon horn like deer antlers exuded terrifying dragon power, its majesty awe-inspiring, suppressing in all directions.

"Awooo~"

A loud and clear dragon roar suddenly erupted.

Along with this came an angry loli voice: "Which cowardly dog dares to ambush your Grandma Lilong?!"

Her voice carried immense penetration power, causing the space to faintly tremble.

"Hmph! Just a Tier Seven dragon cub, who dares to be arrogant on the brink of death."

An elderly, exotic-accented male voice resonated from all directions.

The voice was elusive, making it impossible to discern his true form just from the sound. Clearly, this was a master skilled in concealment.

"Woo~~!"

As the air vibrated, a high-frequency whistle, almost inaudible to human ears, swiftly spread.

The next moment.

A swarm of bugs darkened the skies, pressing toward Wang Lilong.

These insects, about the size of a fist, bore dense white spots on their shell-covered backs, their ferocious mouthparts thick and sharp, ending in sharp clawed scythes designed for slicing flesh, their appearance terrifying, representing a signature fierce insect of the Southern Border Barbarian Gu Race—[Bone-eating Insect].

Individually, Bone-eating Insects aren’t mighty, but when congregated to a certain scale, they become extraordinarily fearsome, devouring all animals in their path, leaving not even bone fragments.

"Long’Er, fall back, you’re not adept at dealing with fierce insects." A gentle and steady voice arose, and from within the flying chariot’s cabin, a dignified and extraordinary "young man" stepped out.

He stroked his wrist, amidst flashes of green light, a beautiful tree appeared out of thin air in the valley.

A towering tree, with complex roots, so thick that it would take ten people to encircle it, its trunk unusually gnarled, the dense green canopy unfurled like a parasol above everyone’s heads, covering the entire flying chariot.

With a breeze, its broad leaves began to dance in the wind, exuding vibrant vitality, despite being just one tree, it felt like standing amidst a forest.

At the moment of its appearance, its vast and sturdy roots rapidly burrowed into the soil, deeply embedding underground.

Simultaneously, dense Life Spiritual Qi spread, quickly forming a Life Domain around. Within the domain, even breathing seemed to inhale and exhale Power of Life.

This tree, naturally, was Wang Shouzhe’s Lifebound Immortal Plant—Wang Lixian.

After over a year of Wang Shouzhe’s cultivation and nurturing, Wang Lixian’s level had reached Tier Five, equivalent to the middle stage of the Celestial Human Realm Black Tortoise Cultivator.

Her Life Domain had also received a massive enhancement, though restricted by her level, it couldn’t compare to the Great Divine Techniques of human Divine Power Realm Cultivators, yet surpassed common Minor Divine Techniques and held various magical applications, making her formidable in strength.

As Lixian unfolded, Wang Lilong, after luring the enemy, also took the opportunity to retreat behind the canopy, curling her dragon body, lifting her dragon head high, roared, "Old coward hiding your true form, come on, come fight your Grandma Lilong~~~"

Her gnarly, boastful posture, was so infuriating.

Needless to say, the insect swarm suddenly pressed on.

Wang Lixian calmly and leisurely swung her branches, Life Energy expanding outward in circles, countless strange seeds thrown out.

Wang Shouzhe also coordinated by stirring out vital, vibrant Profound Qi, enveloping those seeds.

The seeds, upon landing, took root and sprouted, under the dual energy urging of Wang Shouzhe and Lixian, within mere breaths, became plants of various shapes and sizes.

The most numerous among them were the improved Fire Dragon Fruit.

Despite being young and barely speaking properly, Wang Lixian’s demand for firepower seemed insatiable, never satisfied.

During leisure days in Gui Long City, within her Personal Mansion, besides listening to stories, Wang Lixian almost day and night pestered Wang Shouzhe to continually improve the Fire Dragon Fruit, with only one goal in mind, greater firepower.

"Yiya ya~"

Wang Lixian swung her branches, exuberantly sounding the attack horn.

"Poof poof poof!" The Fire Dragon Fruit spouted fist-sized seeds, raining down on the Bone-eating Insect swarm.

Boom boom boom!

Violent explosions resonated throughout the canyon, debris rolling.

In the sky, explosions gave rise to fiery clouds, dazzling as sunset. Bone-eating Insects either engulfed in flames or stunned by shockwaves, "crash" fell in masses, like a downpour.

"Yiyi yaya ya~~~" (Author’s translation: Explosions are art)

Wang Lixian’s voice was extremely excited, the generationally improved Fire Dragon Fruit, had increased in power.
