BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1352 - Not Supposed To Happen
"Phew..." Rean then looked at the Armored Salamander with some apprehension, saying, "Ahem... he's fine now. The scales will regrow at some point, but he's at no risk of dying anymore."
The mother looked at it with tender eyes. However, the now-healed small salamander looked at Rean as if it was looking at food. It didn't have any intelligence, so all it wanted was to fill its belly, even if it meant eating the person who helped it.
However, the mother salamander immediately roared at the kid in anger, which stopped the small salamander from doing as much as opening its mouth. It only looked at her with a sad expression, feeling hungry.
*Roar...*
*Roar, roar...*
After a few moments, the small Transition Realm salamander took flight and dove into the volcano once again, leaving only Rean's group and the big mommy behind. The salamander then approached Rean with its big head, making Rean feel like an ant. However, this time, there was no heat coming from her. She kept it sealed with her own spatial abilities.
*Vush...*
It was then that it breathed at Rean's face. Rean almost lost his balance due to the strength of the gale, but that wasn't what surprised him. Instead, it was the fact that his Light bending skill that kept his Dragon Wing Mark hidden was broken apart. Soon after, the Dragon Wing Mark appeared in its full splendor. Rean and the others got nervous after that, afraid that it was a bad thing. Yet...
"Follow... I... Protect..."
Protect? Naturally, that shocked them even more. The mother salamander... an ancient beast with such high cultivation that it even had some intelligence. The ancient beasts' races were obviously different from the demon beasts outside the Lost Star Realm. They didn't acquire intelligence at the Transition Realm. It looked like they needed much, much higher cultivation for that. And now, such a powerful ancient beast would protect them? Not even Hurio and Lilia had heard of such a thing before.
Then again, although the mother salamander told them to follow her, the truth was that she held everyone with her spatial powers. They didn't have the ability to move at all as she pulled them away. She was gigantic, that's for sure. But just like the other ancient beasts in the Lost Star Realm, she could use spatial powers to move much faster than Kentucky could even imagine. Let alone the twins, Hurio, and Lilia.
Rean couldn't help but ask, "Senior, where are you bringing us?"
The mother Armored Salamander glanced at Rean with its giant eyes for a moment but didn't answer. Instead, it kept teleporting at extreme speeds while bringing Rean's group with it. Well, the second level was just so big, so with the Armored Salamander's power, she only took a minute or so to arrive at its destination.
It turned out that the mother salamander brought Rean's group to another volcano, a very big one at that. Below, it was easy to see the giant pool of lava that stretched for over five kilometers from one side to another.
It was then that Rean, Roan, Hurio, and Kentucky's Dragon Marks began to shine with ice-blue light. That light touched the lava pool below as it began to bubble. Rean's group immediately remembered that they were supposed to look for a pool, a Dragon Pool. It's just that they didn't consider the idea that the pool wasn't filled with water. Instead, it was lava.
*Roar!*
After a few moments, the lava pool split apart as a small white dragon came out, identical to the one they saw on the first level. No, there was a small difference between this one and the white dragon back in the first level. In the first level, the dragon was also white but had a faint blue hue over it. This one, however, had a faint red hue instead.
The small dragon then looked at Rean's group and immediately felt the Dragon Wing Marks on their foreheads. However, instead of proceeding with its duty to pass over the second mark, it looked at the Armored Salamander instead and said, "Why is there a Star Armored Salamander helping the candidates? You should know that all the ancient beasts are forbidden from helping the cultivators during the Lost Star Selection."
The mother Armored Salamander couldn't help but show a fearful expression after that.
*Roar, Roar, roar... Roarrrrr, roar!*
Rean's group obviously couldn't understand a single thing other than that she was roaring. However, the small white dragon was different. "Light Element Affinity? Plus he saved your son with that? You know that's not possible. The humanoid races of the Realm of Gods shouldn't have Light Element Affinity cultivators. Only Demon Beasts and Spirits should have a few races with this kind of Elemental Affinity."
*Roar, roarrrr, roar, roarrr, roawww.*
After hearing a few more things from the Mother Salamander, it narrowed its eyes and looked at Rean, telling him, "Show it to me."
Rean couldn't help but swallow some saliva before nodding. Soon after, he used his Divine Soul Power to gather the surrounding Light Element.
Naturally, the small dragon was able to tell that Rean wasn't using Yang Energy to do that. It was truly Rean's Elemental Affinity, so it greatly surprised the small white dragon, prompting it to mutter, "That's not supposed to happen...."
