Chapter 282: Chapter 283: The Sacred and the Demonic

“These vine balls, protecting the Demon Awakening Fruit, are impervious to powerful Profound Arts, War Skills, and Magic. Those Mourning Dragons use their claws and teeth to slowly grind them open,” Zhu Minglang said, pointing at the Demon Awakening Fruits, perplexed, while speaking to Li Xinghua.

However, Li Xinghua’s gaze told Zhu Minglang that these cage-like vine balls might not be as complicated as he described.

Only then did Zhu Minglang turn his head and to his surprise, he found the vine balls were slowly opening by themselves.

On the side, the pupil of the Divine Green Holy Dragon shone with brilliance, its ancient Green Scales glittering. The Divine Green Holy Dragon, murmuring softly, seemed to inherently possess the ability to communicate with these ancient vines. Its low dragon whispers coaxed the stubborn vine balls to present the Demon Awakening Fruits of their own accord.

Zhu Minglang scratched his head.

Was it that simple?

Then these Demon Awakening Fruits, weren’t they meant for the Divine Green Holy Dragon? The Mourning Dragons must have gained the powers of the Demon Awakening by sheer coincidence, and obviously, they were not welcomed by the Sky Support Vines.

Reaching out, he picked a bright red Demon Awakening Fruit, Zhu Minglang discovered it emitted a sweet fragrance. Looking at the full and tempting thin skin and pulp, he couldn’t help wanting to take a bite and let the sweet juice saturate his taste buds.

“Don’t eat it! Humans can’t eat it, or Sky Support Vines will grow inside your stomach!” At that moment, Mr. Jinli shouted, waking Zhu Minglang from his daze.

Zhu Minglang instantly regained his senses and felt a bit frightened when his gaze fell back on the fruit!

He had been tempted by a fruit!

It was inducing him to eat it, as though a tiny demon was whispering in his ear, eat this fruit and gain everything you desire, wealth, beauty, power, the ultimate cultivation base.

“Demon Awakening Fruits are not to be trifled with. They tempt beings who can’t digest them to eat them. Once they get into another creature’s stomach, they wildly extract the nutrients from the person’s body. In other words, they turn into a mobile flowerpot for them, and when the time is ripe, they will sprout and burst out of the stomach!” Mr. Jinli explained.

Although this explanation from Mr. Jinli sounded somewhat like a benign deception, akin to tricking children to not put things found on the ground into their mouths as bugs would grow, this was an Ancient Ruin where every plant and tree were quite peculiar and couldn’t be explained by common sense.

Zhu Minglang glanced at the Divine Green Holy Dragon beside him and asked, “Will it harm you if you eat it?”

The Divine Green Holy Dragon shook its head, indicating that even if it ate a hundred of them, no vines would grow.

“Oh!!” Big Black Tooth volunteered eagerly, expressing its willingness to be the first dragon to eat the Demon Fruit!

Zhu Minglang felt it was just being greedy. Mr. Jinli said the Divine Green Holy Dragon could eat them, but Zhu Minglang was still a bit worried.

“Let’s collect all the nearby Demon Awakening Fruits first,” Zhu Minglang suggested.

With the Divine Green Holy Dragon present, collecting these fruits was no different from picking apples off a tree. Wherever they went, as long as they saw them, the Divine Green Holy Dragon would use the ancient forest dragon language to take the Demon Awakening Fruits down.

Before long, Zhu Minglang had filled a large bag with Demon Awakening Fruits, carried by Big Black Tooth.

To prevent Big Black Tooth from sneaking a taste, Zhu Minglang took a seat on its thick neck, belonging to the Lei Cang Violent Dragon. Every time it turned its head back with yearning, Zhu Minglang would knock on its forehead.

“KukuKuKuKu!!!”

A series of low growls echoed from the thick vines, and at the same time, Zhu Minglang could smell a thick Evil Qi from his left and right swiftly drawing closer.

It was the Demon Shadow Dragon Army!

Those Shadow Funeral Dragons were hiding, weren’t they? Aren’t they afraid that Bai Qi would completely annihilate them?

Bai Qi?

Damn, Bai Qi seems to have been lured away by a group of Shadow Funeral Dragons!

It was also my fault for getting carried away, only focusing on picking these Demon Awakening Fruits…

“Ohhhhhhh!”

The Lei Cang Violent Dragon also sniffed out the scent of these predators. It roared at three of the Shadow Funeral Dragons, its roar-wave with a tearing effect shredded the Sky Support Vines in front of it, completely exposing those Shadow Funeral Dragons that were still stalking.

Zhu Minglang noticed that these Shadow Funeral Dragons were greedily eyeing the big bag of Demon Awakening Fruits carried on the back of the Black Ocean Violent Dragon.

With these Demon Awakening Fruits, they could quickly build a Demon Shadow Dragon Army.

The Lei Cang Violent Dragon charged at those Shadow Funeral Dragons, and the dragons immediately scattered, maintaining a triangular hunting position!

A triangular hunt meant that no matter which direction the Lei Cang Violent Dragon faced, there would always be a complete blind spot.

The Shadow Funeral Dragons had clear roles to play, two of them distracting the Lei Cang Violent Dragon’s attention and feinting attacks, always allowing the Shadow Funeral Dragon in the blind spot to launch a surprise attack and succeed every time.

The Lei Cang Violent Dragon was far more powerful, even a single swipe of its claw could prove fatal to a Shadow Funeral Dragon, but once again, these Shadow Funeral Dragons demonstrated their terrifying cooperative hunting ability.

The Lei Cang Violent Dragon was unable to bring its strength into play, extremely passive.

If it weren’t for the protection of the Melting Fire Dragon Armor, the Lei Cang Violent Dragon would have been covered in wounds by now.

“Big Black Tooth is no match for these Shadow Funeral Dragons…” Zhu Minglang glanced up at the sky.

At that moment, the Sword Spirit Dragon was pursuing the Ancient Venom Fly Dragon, and it seemed that it realized relying on speed alone was not enough to deal with the Ancient Venom Fly Dragon. The Sword Spirit Dragon resorted to its ultimate move, using an explosive burst of Sword Qi to bombard the Ancient Venom Fly Dragon!

The Ancient Venom Fly Dragon could no longer defend itself, and calling back the Sword Spirit Dragon at this moment would mean giving the Ancient Venom Fly Dragon an escape route.

To make matters worse, a group of Mourning Dragons was closing in, and the Lei Cang Violent Dragon was unable to cope, just as the Divine Green Holy Dragon had taken a heavy loss against them earlier.

“YING!!!!!!”

As Zhu Minglang was struggling with the dilemma, the Divine Green Holy Dragon chanted deeply, and the Holy Qi and green aura swirling around its body somehow became even denser. And amidst its green feathers and Green Scale patterns, a dark Demonic Qi emerged that Zhu Minglang had never seen before!

The mingling of the holy light’s green brilliance and the dark and strange Demon Light made the Divine Green Holy Dragon look like an offspring of gods and demons, with one half of its sprawling wings shining bright green and the other half a sinister dark.

The Divine Green Holy Dragon’s pupils remained green, but within those green pupils spread black, ripple-like glimmers. Suddenly, the tough Sky Support Vines came to life as if being controlled by the Divine Green Holy Dragon, lashing fiercely at those cunning Shadow Funeral Dragons!

Zhu Minglang’s face was full of astonishment. Had Little Qingzhuo undergone demonization?

“It devoured a Demon Awakening Fruit. I told you, this thing is of great use to the Divine Green Holy Dragon!” Mr. Jinli said with smug pride.

With both Holy Qi and demonic nature present on a single dragon, Zhu Minglang had never seen such a powerful and terrifying Divine Green Holy Dragon before. It felt like its strength had not just increased by a minor realm, but had leaped forward an entire major level!
