206: Crimson Dragon Saliva Flower
Jiang Donghua grabbed Red Silk, who was about to rush out, and whispered, "Sister, don't rush."
Red Silk turned back impatiently. "What is it now?"
Jiang Donghua's gaze was calm as he whispered, "When two Sixth-Tier Dou Huang-level Flood Dragons mate, the convergence of Heaven and Earth energy often gives rise to rare treasures. Let's slowly sneak over and see if anything has grown where they mated..."
Red Silk's expression froze, then her eyes widened, full of disbelief. "Wait, you want to look at the place where they mated?! Jiang Donghua, you, you're interested in that kind of thing?!"
Jiang Donghua nearly choked on his own saliva, his ears instantly turning red as he quickly waved his hands. "Sister! What are you thinking?! I meant to see if any natural treasures had grown! Plants! Spirit herbs! Not to look at the traces of their mating!"
Only then did Red Silk react, coughing awkwardly. She waved her hand, feigning composure. "Oh! So that's it! Why didn't you say so sooner!"
Jiang Donghua sighed helplessly, too lazy to argue with her further. He cautiously made his way towards the central area where the Flood Dragons had previously coiled.
Red Silk pouted, but still followed him, muttering softly, "Who knew you'd suddenly say you wanted to look at the place they mated? I thought you had some special fetish."
Jiang Donghua decided to pretend he hadn't heard.
The two of them concealed their auras, using the cover of the rocks to slowly approach the core area where the Flood Dragons had previously intertwined.
The uncomfortable dry heat still lingered in the air, but it had faded considerably compared to before.
Just as they pushed aside a patch of shrubs scorched by lightning fire, an eerie Red Light suddenly caught their eyes.
"What is that?!"
Red Silk's pupils constricted. On the charred ground, a crimson flame dragon saliva flower was growing!
Its petals bloomed in layers like flames, and magma-like liquid flowed within its pistil. The surrounding ground was even scorched with tiny cracks, as if even the soil couldn't withstand its high temperature!
A glint flashed in Jiang Donghua's eyes as he whispered, "crimson flame dragon saliva flower!"
Red Silk was puzzled. "What is it?"
Jiang Donghua quickly explained, "Legend has it that when Flood Dragons mate, if both are extremely powerful and of different attributes, there's a tiny chance this flower will grow where their essence and blood merge. It contains the essence of Flood Dragons and is a rare treasure for refining high-grade pills!"
Red Silk's eyes lit up. "Then what are we waiting for? Pluck it!"
Jiang Donghua, however, stopped her. "Don't rush! There must be residual protective energy from the Flood Dragons around this flower. Touching it rashly will cause an explosion!"
Red Silk clicked her tongue impatiently. "Then what do we do? We can't just stand here and watch, can we?"
A glint flickered in Jiang Donghua's eyes as he took out an ice-blue jade box from his storage ring.
"We'll use a Profound Ice Jade Box to collect it; it can temporarily suppress its fire-attribute energy. But we need to be quick, otherwise..."
Before he could finish speaking, a earth-shattering dragon roar suddenly came from a distance!
Both of them turned their heads sharply, only to see that the two Flood Dragons had stopped their berserk state at some point. They were staring intently in their direction, their golden vertical pupils burning with monstrous fury!
They had discovered that the crimson flame dragon saliva flower had been disturbed!
Red Silk grinned, Lightning Light surging at her fingertips. "It seems we'll have to snatch it!"
Jiang Donghua took a deep breath, battle intent rising in his eyes. "Let's go!"
A glint flashed in Jiang Donghua's eyes. Dou Qi surged wildly within him, and he quickly formed hand seals.
"Condense!"
In an instant, the flames around him erupted. Amidst the scorching fire waves, a wisp of dark blue Soul Power was actually intertwined!
The flames twisted and churned, condensing into a lifelike water-attribute Flood Dragon in mid-air!
This illusory Flood Dragon was entirely azure, its scales shimmering like ripples. As its whiskers swayed, it even brought forth bursts of water vapor, appearing exactly like a real Sixth-Tier water-attribute Flood Dragon!
"Roar—!"
The illusory Flood Dragon roared to the sky, its sound waves causing the surrounding mist to churn.
The two berserk Flood Dragons immediately froze. The Yellow Rock Flood Dragon's earthy-yellow vertical pupils suddenly contracted, and the Profound Thunder Flood Dragon's lightning also paused for a moment.
They instinctively became wary, staring intently at this suddenly appearing kin, unable to distinguish between real and fake for a moment!
"Now!"
Jiang Donghua shouted.
How could Red Silk miss this opportunity?
Her figure was like lightning, instantly flashing beside the crimson flame dragon saliva flower. With a swipe of Lightning Light from her fingertip, the entire flower, along with three feet of soil from its roots, was dug up and directly stuffed into the Profound Ice Jade Box!
"Go!"
She grabbed Jiang Donghua by the collar, and Lightning Light burst under her feet. Her entire being transformed into a silver lightning bolt, frantically fleeing towards the outside of the canyon!
"Boom—!"
Only then did the Yellow Rock Flood Dragon react, smashing the illusory flame Flood Dragon with its tail.
Amidst the steaming water vapor, it finally realized it had been tricked.
"Roar!!!"
The two Flood Dragons were completely enraged!
Earth and rocks rolled around the Yellow Rock Flood Dragon, and the ground instantly cracked into countless abysses. The Profound Thunder Flood Dragon, even more so, directly soared into the sky, black lightning pouring down like a torrential rain!
"Rumble—!"
Lightning and ground cracks chased closely behind the two. Red Silk gritted her teeth and accelerated, the Lightning Light almost forming a continuous sheet.
Jiang Donghua wasn't idle either. He backhanded and detonated a dozen pills, creating layers of fire walls behind them in an attempt to slow the Flood Dragons' pursuit.
"Sister! Turn left! There's a cave ahead!"
Red Silk didn't say a word, making a sharp turn and rushing into the narrow cave entrance.
Almost at the same instant, the Profound Thunder Flood Dragon's lightning slammed into the cave entrance, causing the entire mountain wall to tremble violently, and gravel to fall rattling!
The two huddled inside the cave, holding their breath. Outside the cave, the Flood Dragons' roars grew fainter. Their bodies were too large to squeeze into this narrow passage!
Red Silk let out a long breath, wiping the cold sweat from her forehead. She turned to look at Jiang Donghua and suddenly grinned. "Not bad, Junior Brother, that Fire Control Technique was quite intimidating!"
Jiang Donghua shook his head helplessly. "Unfortunately, it won't last long. They'll soon find another way to chase us. We need to hurry!"
Before he finished speaking, Red Silk suddenly leaned in and gave him a fierce kiss on the cheek!
"That's your reward!"
Jiang Donghua instantly froze, his ears turning crimson red.
Red Silk, however, had already stood up, patting the dust off her robes, a mischievous glint in her eyes. "Don't space out, quickly find a way out, unless you want to stay here and be a snack for those two beasts!"
Jiang Donghua silently followed, but couldn't help but think to himself.
This treasure hunt seems to be much more exciting than expected.
The two sped along, the ground trembling behind them, and the sky torn to shreds by violent lightning and rolling earth waves.
Jiang Donghua felt the terrifying aura getting closer and said in a deep voice, "We can't lead them towards Jia Nan Academy, or the entire Outer Academy will suffer!"
Red Silk gritted her teeth, a flash of Lightning Light under her feet, and abruptly changed direction, rushing deeper into the Black Corner Forest!
"Then let's run deeper! Let those fiercer guys deal with them!"
As they delved deeper, the magical beasts in the forest were startled, and roars echoed from all directions.
However, when those magical beasts sensed the two Peak Dou Huang Flood Dragons chasing them from behind, their originally fierce roars instantly turned into terrified whimpers.
"Ow—!"
A Fifth-Tier Purple Lion King had just majestically leaped out of its cave, but when it looked up, it met the Profound Thunder Flood Dragon's enraged dark blue vertical pupils. Its mane instantly bristled with fear, and it turned and burrowed back into its cave!
"Hiss hiss!"
A Sixth-Tier Nether Python was originally coiled in the treetops, flicking its crimson tongue, but when the Yellow Rock Flood Dragon's earth-attribute pressure rolled over it, it directly slid down the tree trunk with a whoosh and shrank into a crack in the ground!
"Roar—!"
The two Flood Dragons completely ignored these ant-like magical beasts. Their eyes only held the stolen crimson flame dragon saliva flower!
Wherever their dragon tails swept, ancient trees shattered, and mountain rocks turned to dust!
