BXBX NOVEL Chapter 182 - 183: Male and Female Holy Candle Dragons
Strength was not easy to judge.
They only knew that two of them were above the Monarch Level.
As for whether they were Semi-monarch level, Lower Monarch Level or Middle-level Monarch Level, it was difficult to determine.
And even if there were some abilities that could sense the specific cultivation base of the opponent, knowing their exact cultivation base didn’t mean they could be sure the enemies didn’t possess some overly troublesome abilities or some directly fatal moves.
It wasn’t necessarily the case that one with higher cultivation base could defeat one with lower cultivation.
There were also natural compatibilities and conflicts among all things.
A person endowed with brute strength might still drown if they carelessly fell into a mud pit.
They couldn’t be reckless.
The rat demons and rat monsters they had encountered before were all extremely cunning, knowing how to ambush and use the terrain to defeat Human Dragon Shepherds, not to mention the intelligence of these Holy Candle Dragons.
“Once the fruits have ripened, they presumably won’t leave,”
“Each fruit needs a day or two to digest, so they haven’t swallowed all the Cloud Platform Tree fruits in one go. Instead, they are guarding here, slowly nourishing themselves.”
“The question is, how can we lure them away? It would be best if we could get our hands on those few dazzling Holy Fruits,”
Zhu Minglang had already begun to ponder.
This item would be of great help to Little White Qi’s growth.
Advancing to the Complete Period had the potential for failure, but with such Holy Fruits to aid, on one hand, it would ensure Little White Qi’s successful entry into the Complete Period, and on the other hand, it could stabilize its power at the Middle-level Monarch Level quickly after evolution!
He had merely come to Dragon Country for a visit and had not expected to find suitable spiritual sustenance for Little White Qi’s entry into the Complete Period so soon.
This meant that Little White Qi’s time to reach the Complete Period was drawing closer.
“One male, one female, and one Little Holy Candle Dragon. If we can separate the male and female Holy Candle Dragons, there is still hope for us to get the fruits. However, guarding a Cloud Platform Tree full of ripe Spirit Fruits, it’s probably impossible to lure them away,” Nan Lingsha said.
“Unless there is something attractive enough to draw their attention,” Zhu Minglang said with a smile.
Seeing his sly expression, Nan Lingsha knew that Zhu Minglang already had an idea.
The cloud clusters were thick, like a layer of heavy snow covering the Cloud Platform Mother Tree.
The Cloud Platform Mother Tree hung downward at the Blue Sky Pond, surrounded by many scattered cloud clusters, like layers of isolated islands floating near the tree.
The Female Saint Candle Dragon had purple-red scales and a slender and graceful form; its dragon horns were as beautiful as coral.
The Male Holy Candle Dragon, on the other hand, had golden dragon horns and a considerably more husky and robust body. It coiled on the branches of the Cloud Platform Mother Tree like a golden Heavenly Python, its red pupils on alert, watching its surroundings at all times.
“Hoo hoo hoo”
A noble Ice Dragon covered in pure white snow flew from a nearby Illusion Mountain, approaching the Blue Sky Pond.
The Male Holy Candle Dragon immediately raised its head, watching the Ice Morning White Dragon intently.
Soon, the Male Holy Candle Dragon realized that this Ice Morning White Dragon was not coming to the Cloud Platform Mother Tree, but instead, with a shaky body, it landed on a lone cloud cluster island and coughed up several mouthfuls of Dragon Blood.
The Dragon Blood stained the snowy clouds red, a sight that was shockingly vivid.
And the wings of the Ice Dragon looked as if they had been broken…
The Male Holy Candle Dragon quietly observed the severely wounded Ice Morning White Dragon, noticing that during the dragon’s unsteady movements, an Azure Dragon’s Gall slipped from its claws inadvertently.
This Azure Dragon’s Gall shone like a jade, emitting a unique luster. The Spiritual Energy stored inside emanated outwards, forming a magnificent mist, instantly illuminating the snowy cloud clusters with myriad colors.
The severely injured Ice Morning White Dragon hastily grasped the jade-like Azure Dragon’s Gall and then frantically scanned its surroundings in panic.
The Male Holy Candle Dragon coiled around the Cloud Platform Mother Tree and squinted its eyes.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the Blue Sky Pond, a powerful Spirit Sword flew towards this place, its evil aura raising the alertness of both the Male and Female Holy Candle Dragons.
They both fixed their gaze on the Spirit Sword and sensed that the aura emanating from it was actually that of a dragon!
The Sword Spirit Dragon, its tail and body still stained with blood, searched around the vicinity of Blue Sky Pond as if in pursuit of something.
Subsequently, the Sword Spirit Dragon flew towards another direction, quickly disappearing from this area around Blue Sky Pond.
Once the aura of the formidable Sword Spirit Dragon had gone, the Male Holy Candle Dragon immediately communicated with his mate.
“Hmm”
The Male Holy Candle Dragon glanced sideways, tilting his head.
It seemed to be indicating to his partner that an injured Ice Morning White Dragon was hiding within the lone island’s cloud clusters, and it appeared that the aggressive Sword Spirit Dragon was after it.
“Hmm?” The Female Dragon obviously became interested, looking in that direction.
Azure Dragon’s Gall!
The Dragon Gallbladder has always been an important organ for Azure Dragons, but like the reverse scales, it is difficult to preserve unless the dragon voluntarily…
So Dragon Gallbladders are extremely rare.
The Female Dragon stretched out her body, her eyes observing the weary and powerless Ice Morning White Dragon amidst the clouds.
At this moment, the Ice Morning White Dragon was licking the bloodstains off its wounds with its tongue and flying unsteadily as if planning to leave the area to find a place to hide.
The Male and Female Dragons were still hesitant.
But the Ice Morning White Dragon slowly flew further away.
“Hmm!!” Finally, unable to resist such enticing prey within reach, the Female Dragon let out a roar at the Male Holy Candle Dragon, signaling for him to chase, while she would stay and watch over the area!
“Hmm!!!!”
The Male Holy Candle Dragon immediately became excited, unfurling its body from the branches. Even without wings, it could easily achieve buoyant gliding…
The Male Holy Candle Dragon flew towards the cloud cluster.
Seeing this, the Ice Morning White Dragon panicked, its wings flapping wildly as it hurriedly rose into the air and flew towards the more complex cloud ranges, hoping to use the mist to avoid the Male Holy Candle Dragon’s opportunistic advance.
The Male Holy Candle Dragon sped up. Although it noticed that the Ice Morning White Dragon had suddenly increased its speed, it didn’t give it much thought, for most creatures do tap into a certain survival potential when their lives are threatened.
It soared in pursuit, entering the cloud ranges.
It could smell the Ice Morning White Dragon’s scent and knew it was inside these layered cloud ranges.
Finding it was just a matter of time.
Azure Dragon’s Gallbladder…
This could enhance one’s Cultivation Base by a thousand years!
This brought the Holy Candle Dragon one step closer to the ten-thousand-year realm!
Elsewhere, near the Blue Sky Pond, the Sword Spirit Dragon had returned to the vicinity of the Cloud Platform Mother Tree.
The Female Holy Candle Dragon had initially thought it was coming for the Ice Morning White Dragon, but then realized that the Sword Spirit Dragon was heading straight for her.
The Female Dragon roared furiously, emerging from the Mother Tree and engaging in a skirmish with the Sword Spirit Dragon above the Blue Sky Pond.
At the same time, a stealthy figure approached the Cloud Platform Mother Tree…
