Chapter Fifty-fifth: The Death of the Candle Dragon
Ding Keke felt that there was a faint earthy smell in the air he breathed, which was a familiar smell.
Slowly opening his eyes, he saw an empty room in front of him. Ouyang Qingxuan was immersed in the mountains of ancient books, looking for something?
He slowly stood up and leaned against the bed screen, looking at Ouyang Qingxuan's back, feeling like he was home after a long absence: "Qingxuan."
Ouyang Qingxuan was stunned for a moment, and then came to Ding Keke. He could feel Qingxuan's rapid breathing, and his concerned eyes swept over him. In an instant, he hugged him tightly in his arms, and it took him a long time.
Three words came out of his throat: "You're awake."
Ding Keke was a little embarrassed by being hugged: "Yeah!"
Ouyang Qingxuan finally let go of him and looked him up and down: "Is there anything uncomfortable?"
"Oh, I'm hungry." Ding Keke giggled and touched his stomach sheepishly, which was gurgling happily.
As Ouyang Qingxuan waved his hand, Ding Keke saw a bowl of porridge and some desserts in front of his eyes. Ding Keke suddenly felt like crying and looked at Ouyang Qingxuan quietly: "There are no chopsticks."
Ouyang Qingxuan was a little at a loss and said awkwardly: "You have been trapped in there for 32 days, and I have never found a way to break the formation."
Ding Keke looked at Ouyang Qingxuan with tears in his eyes: "Thank you!"
Ouyang Qingxuan whispered: "You are trapped inside, but I can't do anything."
"Senior Zhulong took me to the wilderness." Ding Ke could see that Ouyang Qingxuan was a little sad and quickly changed the subject.
"Didn't Dahuang disappear?" Ouyang Qingxuan quickly regained his composure.
"The land under our feet is the former wilderness." As he spoke, Ding Keke saw the candle dragon entrenched in the square through the window from a distance.
He pulled Ouyang Qingxuan and jumped to the square: "Senior Zhulong has exhausted his spiritual power and is about to die. I have to save him quickly."
Zhulong sensed Ding Keke's breath and opened his eyes tiredly: "You're here!"
"Don't move, I will input spiritual energy into you immediately." Ding Keke stroked Zhulong's huge body. His long silver hair had lost its luster and was spread on the ground in gray.
Ding Keke's anger turned into a knife and he cut a gash on his wrist. Blood spurted out from the wound, and he worriedly said: "You drank it first, this time it will be easier for you and you will not recognize the master."
"My origin has been exhausted and there is nothing I can do to save myself." Zhulong's breath continued intermittently, as if his wish was unfulfilled and he was waiting for an old friend to return from a long distance. When he saw Ding Keke's return, a light flashed in his eyes.
"This is not your memory space, and you have no final say in this matter." Ding Keke pushed hard with his right foot, pointed his toes on the ground, flew up and rode on Zhulong, and forcefully poured blood into his mouth.
Zhulong was caught off guard by his sudden movement, choked and coughed, and his silver hair danced wildly.
Ouyang Qingxuan was also confused by him.
He relaxed his mind, and a powerful spiritual power continued to pour into Zhulong's body along the palm of his hand.
Sudden,
The candle dragon rose into the sky, its huge and long body hovering in the air: "I am very grateful for your kindness, but I am at the end of my strength, and there are tens of thousands of creatures waiting for you to save. Don't waste your spiritual energy filling this bottomless pit of mine. Please.
Don’t forget your promise.”
Ding Keke quickly chased on the ground, looked to the sky and shouted: "I can save you, and we can save them together."
Ouyang Qingxuan grabbed him and said, "His origins are exhausted and there is no chance of survival."
Ding Keke had just woken up. He was already weak and mentally traumatized. He half-knelt on the ground weakly, looked up at the sky, and said to Ouyang Qingxuan: "He is the patron saint of the wilderness. Do you know how much he loves this land and the wilderness?"
A living creature? He would rather burn his original power than use the sacrifices of other creatures to maintain his life; in order to save the old god of the wilderness, he took me to the wilderness even though he knew that doing so would speed up his demise."
"Believe me, I can save him. Please, summon him." Ding Keke took Ouyang Qingxuan's hand and looked at him with pleading eyes.
The candle dragon hovered in the sky, the color of its body became lighter and lighter, and then began to disappear from the tail. The body turned into colorful powder and fell from the sky, blending with the mountains, rivers and the earth.
"Perhaps, this is his wish, and he finally got it." Ouyang Qingxuan looked at the dissipating colors in the sky, and then looked down at Ding Keke.
Ding Keke watched the dissipated powder falling to the ground. The trees, flowers and plants seemed to have spirits, and their leaves lowered their heads to welcome its return.
Ding Keke looked at everything in front of him dreamily, and slowly stood up and stood side by side with Ouyang Qingxuan: "Maybe I'm too pushy."
The sky and the earth suddenly changed colors when they sensed the death of the Guardian God of the Wilderness. The valleys, earth, mountains and rivers all let out low wails; the sky thundered and lightning flashed, and it rained heavily. The Wilderness was seeing him off.
In the direction of the botanical garden, several black shadows were floating towards them. Ding Keke tightened his body muscles and said alertly: "His mission is completed, ours has just begun."
Ouyang Qingxuan looked at the tense Ding Keke and said with a smile: "I invited them here. They have been waiting for you for a long time."
Ding Keke looked at Ouyang Qingxuan in disbelief: "Wait for me? When did you shake hands and make peace?"
"Perhaps our previous judgment was wrong and we misunderstood them."
"So hungry!" Ding Keke laid his upper body on the table and relaxed, his hunger taking over again.
Ouyang Qingxuan looked at him quietly with a smile in his eyes.
"You know? I could only smell the aroma of meat and watch them eat meat and drink from big bowls. It's so greedy. Fortunately, I didn't feel hungry. Otherwise, I would have been worse off than dead." Ding Keke said.
The bag was filled with food, and as he spoke, the food almost sprayed onto Ouyang Qingxuan's face.
"Where's the meat? I want to eat meat." Ding Keke found that the table was full of soft pastries, but there was no meat.
Ouyang Qingxuan shook his head helplessly: "You are a mortal now, and you have forgotten your physiological knowledge. I will let you eat enough next time."
Seeing that Ding Keke had finished his meal, Jiang Lin stood up and introduced to Ding Keke: "These are the seniors of Cheng Huang, Misfortune, Fu Zhu, and Jiu Ying. Chaos has no news so far."
Ding Keke looked at the dark shadows in front of him: "You are the ones who are causing unrest in our alien control bureau."
Ouyang Qingxuan said: "After you regain your original form, are you willing to give up your merits and come to the Alien Control Bureau to work?"
"Come to the Alien Control Bureau?" Jiang Lin, Jiang Feiyu, and Ding Keke said in unison.
"Is there a question? Do you want me to repeat it again?" Ouyang Qingxuan said lukewarmly.
"No problem, the dean must have your reasons for doing this, and we will absolutely obey." Jiang Lin replied, not forgetting to poke Jiang Feiyu next to him with his arm.
Jiang Feiyu glanced at Jiang Lin and said, "Everything is up to the dean's arrangement."
"My Bai Ze and Qing Luan are not going. You said they are here to protect me." Ding Keke held Qing Luan in his arms, turned sideways, and hid it from Ouyang Qingxuan's sight.
Ouyang Qingxuan's forehead was smoking, and he said to Ding Keke: "Start working."
Chenghuang dissipated as the black fog dissipated, and a pure white fox body appeared. However, there were actually a dozen three or four-year-old children on its back.
Ding Keke's eyes almost fell out of surprise, as if he had seen a wonder in the world.
Jiang Linda said: "There are 14 in total, they are the missing children."
Jiang Feiyu asked in confusion: "Senior Chenghuang, what is this?"
Chenghuang looked at Jiang Feiyu, then at everyone, and said: "Black mist can confuse and control people's minds. Whenever it attacks, I will go around and catch some children. The more frightened and crying the children become in the black mist,
, the faster my mind recovers, it’s troublesome to arrest people every time, so I keep them all with me.”
Ouyang Qingxuan glanced at everyone: "Do you have a similar situation?"
Jiuying replied: "Absolutely. I feel that the black mist will swallow up fear and resentment. If we don't take the initiative to collect these emotions, we will be controlled by it and lose our minds."
Hu Dou and Fu Zhu agreed: "We are the same, but there is a voice in our hearts that keeps telling them to cry and hate."
Ouyang Qingxuan nodded and said: "It seems that these black mists have opened spiritual intelligence and can confuse everyone. If there is spiritual intelligence, there must be an inducement that triggers it. What could it be?"
Ding Keke said: "After they came out of the cave, they were all exposed to sunlight, and then their bodies turned into black mist. Senior Zhulong once said that the Soul-Capturing Pearl is an extremely yin thing, and the sun is an extremely yang thing. Could it be that they are two things?
What happened after an extreme conflict?"
Ouyang Qingxuan nodded: "There should be a certain connection, but the generation of spiritual intelligence may be more complicated."
"We will investigate this matter clearly. Now that everyone's blood oath has been fulfilled, I will set up a special barrier space for you. You will practice in the space first. You cannot walk in the human world before you have cultivated the human form."
"Baize, Qingluan is not going." Ding Keke started acting coquettishly and cutely again.
Jiang Feiyu smiled and gave Jiang Lin a look at the excitement; Chenghuang, Huidou, Fuzhu, and Jiuying looked at the two of them with expressionless expressions. They were new here and did not understand the performance of the two strong men.
That moment came out; Bai Ze and Qing Luan innocently looked at Ouyang Qingxuan and then at Ding Keke, becoming the focus of discussion among the powerful twice. It felt uncomfortable, and they were worried about what would happen if they accidentally burned it?
Ouyang Qingxuan put his right hand on his forehead, wishing he could take him out.
After being silent for half a quarter of an hour, he finally said: "They abide by the agreement last time. Once any violation is discovered, the agreement will be invalidated." Ouyang Qingxuan has zero immunity to Ding Keke.
Jiang Lin and Jiang Feiyu were rejoicing in their hearts. The cold and arrogant dean was defeated by Ding Keke again. I wonder if there is any special story between them?
Cheng Huang, Hui Dou, Fu Zhu, Jiu Ying and others looked surprised. Is the battle over before they even take action?
Bai Ze and Qingluan's tense nerves could finally relax.
