Chapter 988 - 0 Little Girl and Ichthyosaur! (1st Update)
The area within a thousand miles was almost completely searched, and Ye Qiu stepped into the Barbaric Wilderness Forest beyond a thousand miles.
Ye Qiu also understood that the deeper he went, the more dangerous it became, so he maintained a high level of vigilance at all times.
Huh?
After advancing nearly dozens of kilometers, Ye Qiu noticed a change in the surrounding environment, transforming from the scenery of falling leaves in autumn to the onset of winter.
Ye Qiu was somewhat surprised, the depths of the Barbaric Wilderness Forest were unexpectedly this wondrous.
Having collected numerous rare herbs, Ye Qiu became increasingly interested in the depths of the Barbaric Wilderness Forest.
After continuing for over a hundred kilometers, the air temperature had dropped to where breath turned into frost, and all the trees around were covered in white crystals. This forest seemed to have entered winter instantly.
Ye Qiu saw a large lake ahead.
Moreover, the lake was covered by a thick layer of frost.
A little girl was playing on the lake surface.
Ye Qiu’s eyes narrowed, why would there suddenly be a little girl here?
The little girl was wearing a red little cotton jacket, with pigtails, her little face flushed, gliding continuously on the ice, and her silver bell-like laughter occasionally echoed.
Ye Qiu immediately raised his guard, unusual things often involve the supernatural, could humans survive in the depths of this Barbaric Wilderness Forest?
It can’t be, wasn’t it said that the depths of the Barbaric Wilderness Forest were extremely terrifying? How could humans live here, if any did, they would be eaten by ancient beasts.
Just as the little girl was having fun, suddenly, with a rumble, the gigantic ice surface was abruptly shattered, and an enormous figure burst out from the water below the break.
The light was somewhat dim, the surroundings misty, but Ye Qiu still clearly saw the figure of this huge creature.
It instantly shocked Ye Qiu.
"Do dragons really exist in this world?" Ye Qiu murmured.
The creature that broke through the ice had a peculiar appearance, possessing the horns of a dragon, a fish’s tail, and small legs. After emerging from the lake, it roamed the air, like a mythical dragon.
However, Ye Qiu’s gaze soon changed, because he saw this dragon-like creature rushing towards the little girl, with its mouth open, intending to swallow her whole.
"Careful."
Ye Qiu dashed out in an instant. Although it was strange for the little girl to appear here, Ye Qiu had no time to think further. He couldn’t just watch as this little child was swallowed by a monster.
Ye Qiu quickly darted to the little girl’s side, this dragon-like creature didn’t have any good feeling towards Ye Qiu, who appeared unexpectedly like Cheng Yaojin, and immediately opened its mouth to attack.
Whoosh...
Like a dragon’s breath, a chill swept over, this breath instantly turned into icy shards, quickly condensing in the air, sharp as ice crystals, all shot towards Ye Qiu.
No time to think, Ye Qiu grabbed the little girl, instantly leaped, dodging the attack, flipped in mid-air, and landed ten feet away.
Roar!
Seeing Ye Qiu evade its attack, the fish dragon roared towards the sky, immediately, countless ice crystals attacked, blocking all of Ye Qiu’s forward routes, giving him no chance to dodge.
"Flood Dragon Devil Fist, third form, Jiaolong Breath." Ye Qiu immediately activated his family’s martial art. In an instant, a black flood dragon appeared, vivid and lifelike, roaming the void, not much smaller than the fish dragon. Facing the fish dragon’s attack, Jiaolong Breath.
Whoosh...
All the ice crystals shattered, Ye Qiu’s Flood Dragon Devil Fist broke the attack with one move.
Seeing Ye Qiu repeatedly block its attacks, the fish dragon coldly glanced at Ye Qiu and instantly plunged back into the water.
"Gave up?" Ye Qiu breathed a slight sigh of relief, he was about to speak to the little girl when suddenly, cracks began to appear beneath his feet on the ice surface.
In the next instant, all the ice on the lake surface shattered, followed by the water surging up, splashing everywhere.
Ye Qiu continued to hold the little girl as he leaped into the air, simultaneously shouted, "Jin Yu."
Jin Yu’s figure instantly appeared in the air, Ye Qiu landed on Jin Yu, quickly carrying the little girl away.
The fish dragon was unwilling to give up, it rushed towards the sky, its body began to enlarge, its aura gradually blossomed. Only then did Ye Qiu feel how powerful this fish dragon was.
"Damn." Ye Qiu’s face changed, the fish dragon’s aura was too terrifying, making him feel powerless to resist. Ye Qiu felt that even if he turned dark, he wasn’t a match for this creature.
Escape.
Ye Qiu ordered Jin Yu to flee quickly, to avoid the fish dragon catching up; if it did, they would be in real trouble.
The fish dragon saw Ye Qiu about to take away the little girl, it opened its mouth and attacked again.
Boom...
A fire dragon lunged over in an instant.
The power of the Rule of Fire!
Ye Qiu’s heart skipped a beat. This fish dragon simultaneously mastered the Rule Power of both ice and fire, no wonder it was so strong, those are two completely opposite rule forces.
No time to think, Ye Qiu quickly utilized the ice rule power he comprehended, forming an ice wall to block the fire dragon outside.
However, his ice rule power was at a rather shallow stage, incapable of contending with the fish dragon’s profound understanding of the rule of fire.
In less than a breath, the ice wall shattered.
Damn!
Ye Qiu had no time to react too much, he could only shield the little girl in front of him, using his body to withstand the power of the Rule of Fire.
Whoosh...
In an instant, the fire dragon ignited Ye Qiu’s back.
A moment later, Ye Qiu’s back was almost burnt, leaving only one piece of clothing.
It was the soft armor taken from a powerful person.
Ye Qiu realized his body was unharmed, the attacks of the Rule Power of Fire were all absorbed and blocked by the soft armor, causing no damage to him, though he was a bit underdressed. Ye Qiu quickly took a pair of pants from his storage bag and instantly put them on.
Ye Qiu had thought the fish dragon would attack again, but after he put on his clothes, the fish dragon turned and dove back into the lake.
With a splash, countless water droplets were stirred up.
Ye Qiu glanced at the little girl, saw her eyes shining, and didn’t think much about it, once again holding her, leaped onto Jin Yu’s back, quickly leaving.
About twenty minutes later, Ye Qiu felt safe, found an open area, and stopped.
"That was close, if that dragon-like ancient beast continued attacking, it would have been really dangerous."
"Why did it suddenly turn back though?" Ye Qiu was somewhat puzzled.
Unable to figure it out, Ye Qiu ceased overthinking, shifted his gaze to the little girl, and said with a smile, "Little one, are you alright?"
This time, he acted chivalrously, knowing now how terrifying that fish dragon was, he might not have intervened, almost costing him his life at its hands. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
The little girl looked at Ye Qiu faintly and said, "Who’s the little one? By age, I’m countless years older than you, I should be calling you little one instead."
"But considering your kind intentions earlier, I won’t argue with you, just call me Grandma." The little girl said seriously.
Calling this little one Grandma?
Ye Qiu almost spat out blood, he patted the little girl’s head and laughed, "Little one, talking like that is very impolite."
