Chapter 183: Chapter 184 Stealing the Holy Fruit
Translator: 549690339
Zhu Minglang hurriedly climbed down the trunk of the Cloud Platform Mother Tree.
After all, it was a tree hanging down towards the sky below, and glancing at the Blue Sky Pond via the three-pronged trunk, Zhu Minglang could see a spectacular dragon coiled in the distant Cloud Abyss.
Although the dragon was very far away, its imposing presence could still be felt.
It was like a primordial beast that lay asleep in an abyss tens of thousands of feet deep, its silver-blue wings as magnificent as clouds hanging from the sky.
Zhu Minglang was scared by this scene.
How deep was the Blue Sky Pond? Zhu Minglang couldn’t judge, but he felt that if he were to accidentally fall off here, he might plunge directly towards that silver-blue sky abyss dragon, and he didn’t know if just looking at such a creature, which could make fear crawl all over one’s body like biting ants, meant that a single breath from it could sweep someone away into the heavens!
Zhu Minglang took deep breaths.
He tried not to look at the deep abyss sky dragon under the Blue Sky Pond.
If nothing went wrong, that was a Monarch Level epic.
To it, most life forms were no different from mosquitoes; it would not care about the movements around the Cloud Platform Mother Tree.
Zhu Minglang grabbed onto a tree tendril and slid towards the canopy.
The fruits of the Cloud Platform Mother Tree varied by age.
One could see that the unripe fruits, mostly located at lower positions, shared a branch with many other Cloud Platform fruits.
But those ancient Holy Fruits were often enshrined by many branches, surrounded by Cloud Platform flowers and leaves, having absorbed the spiritual energy of the Dragon Country’s clouds for many years, endowing the fruits themselves with abundant spiritual power that almost shone through the fruit, emitting a special glow.
Fortunately, when Zhu Minglang entered the Dragon Country’s clouds, he had prepared some substantial spiritual objects; otherwise, it would have been difficult to lure the Male Holy Candle Dragon away.
Azure Dragon’s Gall, this was snatched in the past using warfare. Inside the purple brocaded box lay an extraordinary treasure, which Zhu Minglang originally planned to give to Little Bai Qi to consume, as it was going to spend half of its time in a period of digesting spiritual objects during their week-long stay in the Dragon Country.
However, the attributes of the Cloud Platform Mother Tree fruits clearly fit better with Little Bai Qi than the Azure Dragon’s Gall.
It’s not that the value of the Azure Dragon’s Gall was less than that of the Cloud Platform Mother Tree Holy Fruits.
For the Holy Candle Dragon that regularly nourishes itself with the Holy Fruits of the Cloud Platform Mother Tree, three Cloud Platform Mother Tree Holy Fruits are not as good as one Azure Dragon’s Gall.
But for Little Bai Qi, the medicinal effects of the Azure Dragon’s Gall were not as good as the perfectly matched attributes of the Cloud Platform Mother Tree Holy Fruits.
“I’ll pick these four here and then make a quick getaway,” Zhu Minglang said.
Zhu Minglang was quite greedy himself.
While climbing, he casually picked some common Cloud Platform fruits, almost enough to fill a large basket.
As for the most important Holy Fruits, Zhu Minglang did not spare them either. The main trunk of the Cloud Platform Mother Tree was trifurcated; Zhu Minglang planned to scour two of the branches for the colored Holy Fruits, a total of four!
It wasn’t exactly a plunder.
He left three Holy Fruits for the Holy Candle Dragon family of three.
Mainly because time did not allow, and also because the last branch was very deep with a piercing high-altitude ice wind, making climbing over there extremely difficult.
After securing the four Holy Fruits, Zhu Minglang immediately turned to leave.
“Roar!!”
Just then, the Little Holy Candle Dragon, which had been sound asleep, suddenly roared angrily, its red eyes staring fixedly at Zhu Minglang, blocking Zhu Minglang’s escape route.
With great hostility, the Little Holy Candle Dragon showed its fangs and claws, ready to tear Zhu Minglang, the fruit thief, into pieces.
“Qing Zhuo, take care of it.”
Zhu Minglang immediately summoned the Divine Green Holy Dragon and then turned and ran, not wanting to let the Holy Candle Dragon catch sight of him.
The Divine Green Holy Dragon agilely flew among the branches of the Cloud Platform Mother Tree, its green vertical pupils staring at the Little Holy Candle Dragon.
It was called a Little Holy Candle Dragon.
In fact, it was also an adult, but its strength had not yet reached the Monarch Level.
Since they were all Holy Dragons and adults, the Divine Green Holy Dragon was not afraid of it.
The Little Holy Candle Dragon obviously was very angry; not only had someone stolen fruit from its home, but there was also a Holy Dragon provoking it.
It raced along the huge branches and, at the end of a branch, suddenly lunged out, its fangs growing large as if they could swallow a creature the size of the Divine Green Holy Dragon in one bite.
The Divine Green Holy Dragon folded its green wings, and its dragon body suddenly sank.
After avoiding the Little Holy Candle Dragon’s bite, the Divine Green Holy Dragon immediately ascended, crashing into the Little Holy Candle Dragon like a small green mountain.
After pushing it aside, the green patterns on the Divine Green Holy Dragon’s body lit up, and one could see the whisker-like branches of the Cloud Platform Mother Tree, flying towards the Little Holy Candle Dragon as if they were alive.
The Little Holy Candle Dragon was also agile, constantly changing directions, sometimes swimming through the air, sometimes racing around the trunk, sometimes leaping up…
The tree whiskers couldn’t keep up with it, so the Divine Green Holy Dragon abandoned this driving technique and switched to close-quarters combat.
With sturdy feathers, green cutting wings, and horns of the Divine Deer Dragon, not to mention the blood of the Forest Giant Dragon flowing in its veins, since the Little Holy Candle Dragon wanted a close fight, the Divine Green Holy Dragon would oblige.
At Cloud Abyss.
The Ice Morning White Dragon, using the thick clouds for cover, had repeatedly shaken off the attacks of the Male Holy Candle Dragon.
But the Male Holy Candle Dragon’s insight was extremely strong; each time the Ice Morning White Dragon disappeared from its sight, it wasn’t long before it found the hiding place within the clouds.
It seemed to roughly know the direction of the Ice Morning White Dragon’s flight.
It just didn’t know exactly which layer of clouds it was hiding in and had to search one layer at a time.
Little White stayed still and focused, hiding within a mushroom-shaped cloud, where it could hear the Holy Candle Dragon flying nearby.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh”
A strange, fierce wind struck at the mushroom-shaped cloud, and the cloud vapor that was covering Little White’s tracks was quickly dispersed.
At the same time, a gigantic head jutted out from the adjacent floating clouds and sprayed a breath of Candle Dragon Breath at Little White!
The Dragon Breath, like flames of the Netherworld, displayed a bizarrely eerie green color. Little White reacted very quickly, immediately flapping its wings to fly out, yet a few drops of the Candle Dragon’s ghostly flames still touched its feathers.
The Ice Morning White Dragon had a layer of frost-formed armor, which regular flames couldn’t harm.
But this Candle Dragon’s ghostly fire melted through the frozen armor right away, burning off a patch of feathers on Little White’s wings and spreading a strange agony throughout the Ice Morning White Dragon’s body.
This pain felt like ice picks piercing the bones and hot flames searing the bones. Little White hadn’t expected that just a careless contact with the opponent’s Dragon Breath could be so excruciating; if it hadn’t dodged in time, it might have been tortured by the Candle Dragon’s ghostly fire to the point of death being preferable to life.
“Bai Qi, come here,” Nan Lingsha’s voice called from within a thick, dense cloud.
Bai Qi instinctively flew towards the sound, and the powerful Holy Candle Dragon followed suit.
As Bai Qi beat its wings, passing through the dense cloud, it saw the silhouette of a dragon, though it wasn’t clear what kind of dragon…
