Chapter 1291 - 652: Yabala (Part 2)
For fish, Dragon Child’s blood is a treasure. Just a sip can yield endless benefits. Mortal fish, if lucky enough to obtain it, might not transform into a dragon, but becoming a spirit, demon, or monster is not difficult. Absorb some Moon Essence, and soon they will have cultivation.
Therefore, these "Yabala," despite their small brains, instinctively know that the mountain of flesh before them is a great tonic. Even if it means death, they would tear a strip of flesh to taste it.
Chi Wen glared at these monstrous fish. The majesty of the Dragon Clan was vast and grand, spreading instantly in the lake. Other Water Clan members would be so frightened that they would scurry away desperately. However, these low creatures merely paused in confusion upon encountering the Dragon Power, then charged forward even more frenziedly!
Chi Wen had to brace itself, its neck again swelling. Although its mind was frenzied, its combat instincts remained, realizing at a glance that these little monsters were tough opponents. So it still had to respond with a Dragon Roar. When the "Yabala" swam within thirty meters, they suddenly scattered, charging from all directions with the determination of ants gnawing an elephant. The primary targets were the snout, gills, and chrysanthemum position!
Chi Wen’s skin was so hard that even ordinary Divine Weapons couldn’t penetrate it, let alone the teeth of "Yabala." However, these small monster fish lived in waters with many hard-skinned prey, so their long-nurtured combat instinct was to attack weak spots. If Chi Wen weren’t so massive, with its head afloat, they would also bite its eyes.
If Chi Wen’s energy were still at full capacity, if it hadn’t been sealed by Rune Chains losing most of its Divine Skills, if it hadn’t been tormented by exhaustion and hunger for tens of thousands of years, if it weren’t too weak to maintain its Protective Gang Qi... Such insignificant creatures would not be worth its attention. Unfortunately, many such ’ifs’ do not exist in the world, and once again it felt the humiliation of a dragon stranded in shallow waters bullied by shrimp.
Dragon Child’s mouth had been wounded, attracting "Yabala" with the scent of blood. They bit frantically at its injuries. Chi Wen’s massive mouth, useful for eating humans and Nangying, now became a liability. Hundreds of monstrous fish leaped at it every second, some even jumping out of the water to bite its flesh, sucking its blood. It was helpless against these little things, like using a machete to smash sesame seeds. Meanwhile, numerous monster fish tried to burrow into its relatively soft gills and the most private area beneath its abdomen and tail!
Despite tensing its muscles, Chi Wen could feel the sharp teeth of the monster fish piercing in, biting the tender inner flesh of its hindquarters, causing a tearing pain!
Chi Wen was outraged, unleashing two successive waves of Dragon Roar. Unfortunately, these small monsters were scattered, and although it took down two hundred in two directions, more "Yabala" joined the battle.
Chi Wen could no longer endure, closing its mouth and eyes tightly, plunging into the water. The "Yabala" followed it down.
Yuan Hou frowned slightly, thinking perhaps it was driven mad to the point of suicide? That would be troublesome.
Unexpectedly at this moment, the water surface where Chi Wen submerged suddenly boiled, as if a pot of thick porridge had been hastily brought to a boil. This boiling then spread in all directions, quickly engulfing the entire water body.
Yuan Hou felt the lake underfoot churning violently, as if a Giant Strength was surging from below. He quickly leaped to the corridor entrance.
After this, the entire water body fell silent. After a dozen breaths, a patch of white gradually surfaced from the bottom of the lake—
Fish belly white.
The previously lively "Yabala" now floated belly-up, one after another, lifeless.
Yuan Hou made a soft sound of surprise, finally recalling that some Dragon Children seemingly possessed another innate skill: Dragon Soul Howl. This howl wasn’t emitted orally but activated by vibrating a transverse bone on its raised forehead. The internal structure of this bone was beehive-like, intricate, and detailed. If air inhaled by Chi Wen swept across here, it could emit a sound that shook gods and ghosts in all directions!
However, such terrifying sound attacks have to be made underwater, which is why Chi Wen submerged itself. The "Yabala," even impervious to weapons, were collectively shaken to death upon contact with such sound waves!
But releasing such a powerful broad-range indiscriminate attack doesn’t come without a price.
The immense figure in the lake already showed signs of fatigue. Although its mind was unclear, it instinctively knew that the small locust before it was the source of its pain, hence the furious gleam in its eyes. Blood still trickled from its wounds, Chi Wen submerged its maw below the water’s surface, murmuring softly. In just a few breaths, the surrounding water surged and condensing five or six Water Dragons.
These Water Dragons had full form and spirit, but they were a pale red, indicating Chi Wen used Dragon Blood as the medium to cast Divine Skills. This was the deepest part of the underground palace, thick with Evil Qi, making it extremely difficult for cultivators to use Divine Skills. Only such innate skills were usable. (To be continued.
