Chapter 318: Reappearance of the Remnant Soul
Chapter 318: Reappearance of the Remnant Soul
After dealing with the demon cultivator, Lin Zhao removed the black iron from the pistil and put it back into his Qiankun bag. Looking at the pistil with her eyes wide open, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Why, do you want to fight again?"
At this point, how could the pistil not understand that the other party really had no intention of killing her, so she didn't insist on fighting.
"It's the same here. Once we start fighting, we won't stop until we die. Although you're a stranger, few monks here will show mercy. I've always thought that if I don't kill you, you'll definitely kill me."
Lin Zhao said, "Killing you isn't worth it, and you're not my target. But beating you is really exhausting, so I can't just go back like this for nothing."
After all, both she and Jin Ya had eaten earth dragon meat before. Although they had never eaten earth dragon meat at the Nascent Soul level, it was nothing new after all.
Lin Zhao thought for a moment and said, "I need to get three things from you."
The pistil said, "What do you want? I am very poor."
Lin Zhao said: "Give me a piece of your tail."
Pistil suddenly grimaced, but her little emotions completely disappeared after Lin Zhao's bone sword was inserted into the ground: "Then do you have any pain-relieving pills?"
Although for a Nascent Soul stage earth dragon, if a tail is cut off, it can grow back quickly as long as the cultivation level is sufficient, but...
It hurts.
A cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage would also feel pain! Especially when the tail is cut off.
Lin Zhao heard this and said, "This is another price."
The pistil was silent for a while: "I have a lot of magical instruments that I have robbed over the years. They are useless to me, so I will exchange them with you."
Lin Zhao's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Then take me there."
Pistil stood up with a hum, and slowly took Lin Zhao towards her home.
"Aren't you worried that I might lead you into a trap and kill you?"
Seeing Lin Zhao following her with her hands behind her back, as if she was taking a walk in her own backyard and not nervous at all, Pistil felt a little unhappy.
Lin Zhao smiled and said, "I believe you don't want to be broken by me again."
The broken bones of an earth dragon in the Nascent Soul stage can be quickly restored, but... as I said, it hurts!
Injuries in the Nascent Soul stage are also injuries!
The pistil was embarrassed and snorted, "You just ran into me. Later, as an old man here, I have to remind you that if you meet someone who fights with you, you must kill him. This is the rule of survival in Wolong Valley. It has nothing to do with whether you want to kill him or not."
Lin Zhao was silent for a moment: "Did someone make this rule?"
It was indeed strange that the pistil insisted on fighting even though she knew she could not win. This was also the reason why Lin Zhao did not intend to kill the opponent after he took her punch.
"No, but it has always been like this here, and it is more so the closer you get to the valley. Or maybe it is the law of survival of the dragon race, they kill each other, live for war, and fight until death."
Lin Zhao hissed and finally understood why Jin Ya wanted to come here. This place was indeed in line with Jin Ya's hot-tempered personality.
"How long have you lived here?"
"It's been almost three thousand years, right? I've been here since I was born. My parents lost a fight with other spirit beasts and were torn into pieces by them. I hid here and there until now, and I've only survived by following this rule. If I hadn't really been unable to beat you, I would have been planning to kill you now."
Lin Zhao glanced at her and said, "Then cut the tail longer."
pistil:"……"
Pistil couldn't beat her, so she could only glare at Lin Zhao secretly, feeling both timid and angry.
When Lin Zhao arrived at the pistil's nest and saw the baby dragon inside, he fell silent.
"This... doesn't seem to be an earth dragon, right?" Lin Zhao looked at the baby dragon whose skin scales looked like pieces of cardboard. He wanted to reach out and poke this little guy who was almost as tall as himself, but very small compared to his mother.
"Oh, his father is a black dragon. When I was pregnant with this cub, I felt uncomfortable in various ways and thought I would not be able to give birth. But I don't know where he found a pill and fed it to me. The cub suddenly stabilized in my stomach. Then he went into Wolong Valley and said he was looking for medicine for the cub to be born in the future. He never came back. It has been about three years. He must have died in there."
The pistil stretched out its claws and flicked her son's head. Looking at the little guy rolling around with his hands covering his head, she laughed unkindly.
The little guy must have been bullied too much. After being hit on the head, he actually stuck to Lin Zhao, whining and begging for comfort.
Lin Zhao didn't expect that the little guy would be so close to her and was a little surprised for a moment.
Pistil was also surprised, her cub looked so small and had no temper, but as a hybrid of an earth dragon and a black dragon, this cub could tear living things apart at the age of one month. He had never been so kind to the things she brought back in the past.
Lin Zhao quickly understood why the other party was close to her.
"Master?"
She couldn't quite believe her own guess.
Grandma Honghu knew what Lin Zhao wanted to ask. "Yes, this little fellow has the aura of the remnant soul of the Ancestral Dragon. It should be a fragment of the soul. Compared with your eldest brother, who has the complete soul of the Ancestral Dragon, it is a little inferior, but it is indeed the pure remnant soul of the Ancestral Dragon."
How could a young true dragon possibly withstand such energy?
Moreover, half of this little guy's blood is not from a true dragon, which undoubtedly aggravates his pain.
I guess this is why his father wanted to go deep into Wolong Valley to find medicine.
Lin Zhao has the soul marrow left by Lin Yu in her body, which is an effective weapon to soothe the remaining soul. Of course, this little guy is very kind to Lin Zhao.
"I wonder what your name is?" Lin Zhao rubbed the little guy's head and asked Pistil.
"Oh, his father named me Pistil."
After hearing this, Lin Zhao was surprised that a female earth dragon that looked so big and strong in both human and dragon form would have such a delicate name. She was overwhelmed for a moment.
Pistil saw what she was thinking and said, "Don't look at me like this now. Actually, before the cub was born, although I was not as pretty as you, I was still considered a beauty in the eyes of humans. I became like this because of the drug test for this cub."
Hearing this, Lin Zhao asked, "How long have you been pregnant?"
"Five years."
Five years. The normal gestation period for a dragon is three years.
Pregnancy, stillbirth, adventure, accident.
These few words seemed like a replay of the Lin family's past, and Lin Zhao quickly pieced it all together.
That is to say, this little guy couldn't be born in the second year of his mother's pregnancy because his father's blood was too strong and his mother's blood couldn't keep up. However, Black Dragon got a pill with the residual soul of the Ancestral Dragon from somewhere and fed it to the pistil, and with the power of the residual soul of the Ancestral Dragon, he managed to save the child.
In the Wolong Valley of the Zuhuang Continent...people from the Zulong Continent are appearing.
Lin Zhao sighed in annoyance at these troubles. She asked Pistil, "What are you going to do? You can also feel that the child is not in good condition, right?"
Pistil looked at the young dragon sleeping beside Lin Zhao, her earthy yellow eyes revealing obvious sadness: "As his parents, we have done everything we can for him. If we can't save him... then we really can't save him."
