“I hit that woman named Yuan Bingxin!” Qing Meng Teng excitedly curled its leaves, seeking praise from Bai Sheng Yi, “Master, praise me quickly!”
“Look at your accomplishments,” Reincarnation Brush exuded a leader’s aura, “If it weren’t for me setting up a trap for you earlier, could you have injured that woman?”
Qing Meng Teng obsequiously said to Reincarnation Brush, “Thank you, Boss!”
“You two worked hard, you are amazing.” Bai Sheng Yi praised with a smile, then took out a top-grade spirit stone to feed Xiao Teng Ye, “Retrieve your spiritual body from the vine leaves. It wouldn’t be worth it if you get injured by them later.”
The spiritual body of a spiritual entity was equivalent to a cultivator’s divine sense.
As a vine leaf, Qing Meng Teng could attach its spiritual body to its branches and direct them to act. This way, even if a branch was destroyed, it would only result in a minor injury to the spiritual body, not affecting the main body.
“Okay.” Qing Meng Teng commanded its branches to entangle Yuan Bingxin and Hua Ni Shang, obediently retrieved its spiritual body, and circled around Bai Sheng Yi’s wrist.
On the fair skin, the emerald vine bracelet sparkled with a lustrous glow.
“There’s the moon here.”
Following the moonlight, Bai Sheng Yi could clearly see the bone spurs and crevices on the skeleton. The skeleton was as translucent as dusk snow, radiating a chilling aura and deathly presence all over.
She walked forward for a long time, then suddenly stopped.
Ahead, the undulating “mountain peaks” suddenly rose thousands of feet, soaring into the sky. A majestic dragon head rammed into Bai Sheng Yi’s sight!
A Green Dragon!
“This…” Bai Sheng Yi was speechless.
The dragon head before her was not like the white bones of the dragon body. From the seven-inch mark upwards, the flesh and skin remained, but not a single piece was intact. The body was covered in scars, with countless scales peeling off.
The dragon’s eyes were tightly closed, yet it seemed to be looking down, as if in the next moment, those eyes would suddenly open and question the uninvited guest who had intruded upon its slumber.
Bai Sheng Yi’s pupils constricted severely. She, who had been flying with ease moments ago, suddenly felt as if a giant mountain was pressing down on her back, an immense weight!
As the mountain threatened to bend her spine, Bai Sheng Yi’s gaze sharpened, and her back straightened even more, becoming more resolute.
She cupped her hands and looked up, directly facing the divine being, her voice firm, “I deeply apologize for disturbing your long slumber, senior!”
Bai Sheng Yi did not waste time. Enduring the immense pressure, she walked step by step towards the position beneath the dragon’s head.
The Green Dragon’s scale was not an ordinary scale from the Green Dragon, but its reverse scale. This scale absorbed the essence of the Green Dragon. Legend had it that if a cultivator obtained it, they could comprehend ancient heavenly rules, achieve enlightenment and ascend. If consumed, it could reverse yin and yang and overturn the universe.
“Drip!”
A drop of sweat slid down Bai Sheng Yi’s forehead, splashing onto the skeleton.
Bai Sheng Yi, unusually nervous, cautiously looked at the location of the reverse scale. Upon seeing the abnormally magnificent dragon scale that was out of place with the surrounding scales that had not yet detached, she let out a long sigh of relief.
“Phew… Fortunately, fortunately, this scale is still here,” Bai Sheng Yi couldn’t help but exclaim.
Reincarnation Brush also said, “Yes, Sheng Yi, quickly take it.”
Without Reincarnation Brush’s urging, Bai Sheng Yi had already stepped forward and carefully removed the scale.
Good, nothing happened.
Bai Sheng Yi breathed a sigh of relief. She had truly worried about encountering trouble here. She quickly placed the reverse scale into a pre-prepared storage box and was about to leave when a gust of wind sprayed onto her face.
The foul odor was nauseating.
Bai Sheng Yi instinctively looked up and saw a pair of piercing purple dragon eyes staring intently at her.
Bai Sheng Yi: !
Had the Green Dragon revived?
“Huu!”
The Green Dragon exhaled, and suddenly lowered its head.
“Sheng Yi!” Reincarnation Brush shrieked.
An ominous premonition instantly climbed into her heart. Bai Sheng Yi’s back broke out in a cold sweat, her hairs stood on end, and she rapidly retreated.
“Bang!”
Right where she had been standing, an ice blade pierced straight into the ground with a deafening sound.
“Run!”
Without Reincarnation Brush’s reminder, Bai Sheng Yi was already speeding towards the weakest point of the barrier. As soon as she entered, she had asked Reincarnation Brush to scout the weakest points of the barrier here.
But when she arrived, Reincarnation Brush said, “It won’t work!”
“After the Green Dragon revived, the barrier not only strengthened but also changed! This is no longer the weakest point!” Reincarnation Brush’s voice was urgent, and it couldn’t help but swallow, saying nervously, “Sheng Yi, this Green Dragon, this Green Dragon isn’t a corpse reanimating, it might have truly revived…”
This was too unbelievable!
An ancient divine beast that had been dead for tens of thousands of years had actually come back to life?
“Little Reincarnation, what do you mean by that?” Bai Sheng Yi’s mind spun rapidly, “How do you know it’s been dead for tens of thousands of years? Ancient divine beasts are called ‘ancient’ for a reason, it doesn’t necessarily mean they haven’t been passed down. Take my Senior Sister Qian Ying for example…”
She knew at the Divine Revelation Academy that her senior sister was a descendant of the Vermilion Bird.
“No, Sheng Yi, you don’t understand. The Green Dragon is truly extinct. Even the Green Dragon clan that retreated to the Vast Universe Secret Realm three thousand years ago were not true divine beast Green Dragons, but descendants of Flood Dragons and Green Dragons. But this skeleton here, it’s the real deal… Careful! Behind you!”
Bai Sheng Yi executed a flying somersault, narrowly evading an ice blade, only to see the dragon’s head only a few meters away from her!
“Rustle rustle…”
The “mountain peaks” made of piled bones began to slither, and the dragon’s body tightly enclosed Bai Sheng Yi, attempting to entangle her.
The bones emitted “crackling” sounds, like a death song played by the undead.
“I’m going…”
Bai Sheng Yi narrowly jumped out of the pile of bones, feeling as though her scalp was about to freeze. She urged Reincarnation Brush.
“Little Reincarnation, hurry up, have you found a weak point in the barrier? If the Green Dragon completely recovers, we’re finished here!”
She could tell that the Green Dragon had not unleashed its ultimate move, meaning it had not fully recovered yet.
Bai Sheng Yi propped up her chin, contemplating her chances of defeating the Green Dragon, and found the probability to be zero!
She silently changed direction.
“Master, what are you doing?” Qing Meng Teng, seeing her move closer to the bones, was startled.
Bai Sheng Yi sprinted forward, swapped the Green Dragon Scale into a different box and immediately placed it into the storage bag Qin Si had given her. Then, she slapped the empty box that had contained the Green Dragon Scale into Yuan Bingxin’s hand.
“Yuan Bingxin! Catch!”
Yuan Bingxin, who had just helped Hua Ni Shang break free from the vines, was struggling to move on the ground. Upon looking up, she saw a box with a strong aura of pure spiritual energy flying towards her and instinctively grabbed it.
The next moment, a whooshing sound approached, and an ice blade unceremoniously pierced her hand, sending her tumbling to the ground.
“Ah!”
Yuan Bingxin didn’t even have time to see what had happened clearly before the Green Dragon’s bone-chilling tail whipped towards her again!
“Senior Sister Hua, help me!” The bone, as vast as a mountain, pressed down heavily. Yuan Bingxin was terrified to her core and hated Bai Sheng Yi.
On the other side, Bai Sheng Yi turned to educate Qing Meng Teng, “Have you learned? This is called using resources wisely.”
“Little Teng Ye understands, Master, you are truly smart,” Qing Meng Teng said.
Reincarnation Brush: …Truly, one dares to teach and one dares to listen.
“You two don’t get distracted…”
Before Reincarnation Brush could finish speaking, a hollow, desolate dragon roar suddenly came from not far away.
Bai Sheng Yi’s expression drastically changed.
