Chapter 397 Danger Approaches
Feng Yu said worriedly, "It's no use. In your current state, forcing a breakthrough will only hurt yourself."
Long Chuqing looked helpless and had no choice but to revert to human form.
It cannot be broken by force, as that would damage the seal itself. The seal here must have a purpose, which is to reduce the number of demons who dare to invade the human world and cause trouble, and also to maintain the stability and balance of order.
Looking at the seal before him, Long Chuqing said regretfully, "It seems we have no choice but to go out and find another way."
Fei Feng sighed, "Alas... all that travel of more than half a month has been for nothing."
“That’s right!” Feng Yu echoed, “However, there’s nothing we can do about it. We didn’t know there was a seal here beforehand.”
Fei Feng: "I hope the hole we just made hasn't been frozen shut! Otherwise, it will take a lot of effort to get out."
Since things have come to this point, we cannot enter the demon realm from here, so we have no choice but to give up.
Long Chuqing dived back into the pool and swam back towards the ice surface he had come from.
Suddenly, she keenly sensed a dangerous aura approaching.
It was a deadly premonition of being targeted by a predator.
She immediately became alert.
Fei Feng and Feng Yu also went on alert at the same time.
Feng Yu exclaimed in surprise, "There's a demonic aura here!"
Long Chuqing turned around abruptly and saw a huge black shadow looming over them, blocking out the faint light shining through the ice.
A black dragon with crimson eyes and scales that gleamed like black jade was slowly approaching her.
Long Chuqing's heart tightened; it was actually a black dragon...
When she was searching for the entrance to the barrier at the bottom of the pool, she carefully explored the surroundings with her spiritual sense, but she did not find any unusual aura.
It turned out that it wasn't due to their negligence; the black dragon had just awakened from a long slumber.
It has always remained hidden in the shadows, concealing its presence and slumbering in seclusion.
Now... did they sense the dragon aura she was leaking and follow the trail here?
Seeing that she had discovered him, the black dragon stopped hiding and spiraled down with its enormous body.
With each point of approach, the surrounding temperature plummeted, and even the light reflected in the water was distorted by the malevolent aura emanating from it.
Two long whiskers swayed slowly in the water, and his crimson eyes were fixed on Long Chuqing, a hint of surprise flashing in them.
"Dragon!" The black dragon's deep, cold voice came from its throat.
It wondered what kind of small creature dared to trespass on its territory, but it turned out to be a dragon!
Since the entrance to the demon realm at the bottom of the pool was sealed, it has regarded this place as its own territory and has been entrenched here for hundreds of years. Few ignorant creatures dare to trespass.
It should be said that all those who intrude have become its prey.
The black dragon's body swayed slowly in the water, clearly weighing its options.
Its eyes held both an innate awe and fear of the dragon race—a natural suppression stemming from the depths of its bloodline.
But when the black dragon realized that it was just a young dragon and that there was no spiritual energy fluctuation around it, its fear vanished instantly, replaced by an undisguised greed.
With its current level of cultivation, crushing this little dragon would be an easy task.
"Legend has it that the Dragon God Clan has long..." The black dragon's voice was low and hoarse: "I never expected to encounter a pure dragon bloodline here today."
Long Chuqing's petite figure was reflected in a pair of scarlet vertical pupils, and crazy thoughts exploded in his mind.
As long as it swallows this dragon and obtains its flesh, blood, and essence pearl, it can immediately shed its dragon form and transform into a true dragon, without needing to cultivate for thousands of years.
"God is really helping me."
"Hahaha... Heaven is helping me! Hahaha..."
The black dragon's voice was filled with manic laughter, which stirred up a string of bubbles and ripples in the water.
It took it over a thousand years of diligent cultivation to transform from a snake into a dragon, and it also took over a thousand years to transform from a dragon into a dragon.
Just when it was struggling with its stagnant cultivation, this young dragon appeared before it. This must be a great opportunity sent to it by the heavens.
Thinking of this, it was so excited that its scales trembled all over.
It opened its gaping maw, filled with sharp teeth, and a foul stench filled the water.
"Qingqing, be careful!" Feng Yu's voice was unusually tense. "It wants to steal your Yuan Pearl and transform into a dragon! Run!"
For a dragon, consuming the dragon clan's primordial pearl is the fastest way to transform into a dragon. Even if it cannot immediately transform into a true dragon, it can still use the power of the primordial pearl to break through the bottleneck and reach the realm of dragon transformation.
Long Chuqing sensed the hostility emanating from the other party, as well as the greedy, determined look in its eyes.
The black dragon before them had cultivated for over a thousand years, and its strength was unfathomable.
Normally, she could handle such a black dragon with ease, but now she has almost lost all her spiritual power, and if she were to fight it head-on...
Long Chuqing stared at the approaching black dragon, its massive form casting a huge shadow in the dim water, as if the scythe of death was already hanging over his head.
"Qingqing, let's run away quickly! Otherwise, we'll become food for the black dragon!" Feifeng urged anxiously.
Long Chuqing had already understood, and immediately turned around, his dragon tail suddenly swung, stirring up a string of crystal bubbles, and sped off to the side.
A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle; he should run away first.
Although she has temporarily lost her spiritual power, her dragon power remains. Even if she can put up a fight, it will end in mutual destruction.
The black dragon would not allow its prey to escape. With a flick of its long tail, its massive body shot after it like an arrow.
In an instant, the black dragon's massive body stirred up ripples in the water.
"puff--"
The black dragon opened its blood-red maw, and a spray of dark venom gushed out at Long Chuqing in front of it, instantly turning the surrounding pool water into an eerie black color.
Long Chuqing reacted extremely quickly, flicking her tail and turning sharply to dodge the incoming venom.
"Phoenix Feather..." With a thought, the Phoenix Feather instantly transformed into a golden sword aura and slashed towards the black dragon.
Because it was in the water, the power of the sword energy was greatly reduced, and the black dragon easily avoided the incoming sword energy by simply turning its head slightly.
Although this attack did not harm the black dragon, it enraged it.
"Roar--"
It let out a deep roar, the sound of which shook the entire pool.
Long Chuqing seized the opportunity to rush towards the water, but the black dragon, taking advantage of its size, was even faster, and its thick tail swept across like a steel whip.
Long Chuqing was unable to dodge in time and was accidentally struck by the dragon's tail. Fortunately, it did not cause any real damage. She endured the pain and used the momentum to rush forward.
The black dragon pursued closely behind, its gaping maw opening once more, its sharp white teeth gleaming coldly, intent on swallowing it whole.
It suddenly inhaled, and the surrounding pool water swirled into its mouth like a whirlpool, forming a rapid current that swept Long Chuqing into its mouth.
Although the current was rapid, it was not a rushing torrent. With a flick of its tail, Long Chuqing dispersed the turbulent flow and swam to the side.
"boom--"
The dragon claw slammed its hand on a stone pillar beside it, using the force to smash into the black dragon. The black dragon couldn't stop in time and crashed headfirst into the stone pillar.
The black dragon's skull was hard, and it immediately smashed the stone pillar, sending fragments flying and mud and sand flying everywhere, instantly turning the surrounding pool water murky.
