Chapter 21 Dragon Pool Appears at the Bottom of the Cliff
The flying tiger leaped down, flapping its wings frantically, but with four people on its back, it was still somewhat shaky.
Sitting at the back, Mo Yixing originally wanted to grab the Flying Tooth Tiger's tail, but after thinking about it, he held tightly to the fur on the back of the Flying Tooth Tiger. He looked down at the pitch blackness and the water vapor rushing towards him, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble.
"Li...Li Su, there's water down there..."
Before he could finish speaking, the Flying Tiger suddenly plummeted downwards, the heavy impact engulfing his entire body. He lost his focus and fell off the Flying Tiger's back.
"Aaaaaaah! Help!"
Flying Teeth Tiger shouted urgently, "Hey, hey, hey, my wing just cramped up! Did someone fall down? Girl, quickly pull that kid up!"
Sitting in the back, Li Su peered behind him and exclaimed, "Oh no! Mo Yixing has fallen in! He's afraid of water!"
Li Yang looked up when he heard the voice, but Ji Cang pressed him down, "Don't move, land first and then we'll figure out how to save him!"
It was pitch black below and the situation was unknown. If there was any danger down there, it would be suicide. Besides, they were almost at the bottom.
No sooner had he finished speaking than a splash was heard from below.
Mo Yixing felt enveloped in cold. He tried to breathe in fear, but the icy water relentlessly invaded his throat and filled his lungs. He frantically reached out to grab something, but the rapid descent caused the water plants to barely brush against his palms, making it impossible to grasp them.
He stared at the sky in despair, letting himself be swallowed by the merciless pool of water. Suddenly, his elbow touched something sharp and hard. He instinctively grabbed the sharp corner, his hands gripping it tightly despite being gripped by fear.
This is what Li Yang and Li Su saw when they jumped into the pool: Mo Yixing was holding onto something with both hands, his body floating in the water. The two exchanged a glance, breathed a sigh of relief, and swam towards Mo Yixing. They grabbed his legs, trying to pull him up, but found that the boy was holding onto that thing without moving. It took them a lot of effort to drag him and what he was holding onto the shore.
As soon as they got ashore, Li Yang exploded, "Damn it, what kind of treasure is it that you're holding onto so tightly? We almost got killed because of you!"
"Cough cough cough!" Mo Yixing spat out several mouthfuls of saliva after being punched a few times before opening his eyes, "Li..."
Seeing Li Yang's murderous rage, he turned to Li Su, "Brother Su... I thought I was going to die..." He held up what he was holding, "I just instinctively wanted to grab a lifeline, but this thing... why is it a horn?"
Mo Yixing blinked and looked closely. What he was holding in his hand was clearly a black horn. The horn was as thick as his arm and had some marks from swords and knives. In the misty pool, the horn also exuded a cold aura.
"Dragon horns? This deep pool is actually the tomb of a divine dragon." Ji Cang took two steps closer and saw that Li Yang had used magic to dry her clothes. He then took off his cloak and draped it over her shoulders.
Li Yang opened her mouth but didn't say anything, silently pulling her cloak tighter.
The Flying Tooth Tiger and the ethereal cat didn't participate in the discussion; they simply looked around warily.
After a moment of calming down, Bai Niao opened his eyes. Although the evil energy had not been completely sealed, it had at least stopped spreading.
The ethereal cat glanced at Li Yang, its eyes filled with unspoken words, but in the end, it still contacted Li Yang in its mind.
"Demon King, the white bird means you no harm. Didn't it just protect you? So, wouldn't you like to save her?"
Li Yang glanced in the direction of the white bird, "What should I do?"
"Your blood can suppress the spread of evil spirits, but it's best not to let those human brats and the Ghost Lord know about this, or your identity will be exposed."
Suddenly, the Flying Tooth Tiger pricked up its ears, "Oh no, those evil people are coming soon!"
"What should we do!" Mo Yixing had just stood up when he heard this and his legs almost went weak again. "They're so scary, I don't want to be killed by them!"
Ji Cang clutched his chest, looked at the pool, and said coldly, "Go down into the pool."
The guy named Mo Yixing immediately looked dejected. "Can we not go down? I'm really afraid of water."
Ji Cang suddenly turned to look at him. His delicate face was pale and cold under the mist, and his emotionless eyes seemed to turn into ice and freeze him.
Mo Yixing's legs went weak. Under Ji Cang's gaze, he couldn't even look away. It was Li Yang who blocked Ji Cang's way and forced him to turn his face away.
Her sweet tone carried a hint of threat, "Ji Cang, what kind of look is that? They've sided with me, not you. What are you trying to prove with!"
Mo Yixing: Waaaaah, thank you so much, little witch, for saving my life twice!
He raised his hand. "I...I'll...wait...rather than be tortured to death by them, I can overcome my fear..."
The Flying Tooth Tiger's gruff voice rang out, "Hurry, they're coming soon."
He picked up the ethereal cat, exchanged a glance with the white bird, and jumped down first.
Watching the white bird leap down, Li Yang pulled Ji Cang down with her, and then said, "Hurry up and catch up."
Mo Yixing looked around at his two teammates who were holding him up, but Li Su, who couldn't stand it, covered his eyes and pulled him down.
As soon as Li Yang entered the water, she began searching for the white bird in the darkness. Seeing that the white bird was swimming with great difficulty, she patted Ji Cangdu's hand to indicate that she wanted to go over. Ji Cangdu nodded and swam forward alone.
He clutched his chest, feeling the pull emanating from the bottom of the pool. There was definitely a part of his body beneath that pool, and it was very likely that it was with the remains of that divine dragon.
The Flying Tooth Tiger breathed a sigh of relief when it saw Li Yang swimming over. It was really a bit too much for an old tiger to carry two people at once. It adjusted its position to face Li Yang, intending to let her hold the ethereal cat it was carrying in its mouth, but Li Yang walked straight through it and swam to the white bird behind it.
Bai Niao never expected that, because the evil spirit's power had been eroding her body, faint black lines could already be seen on her fair neck. If she didn't control it, she would be the first great demon to be killed by the evil race.
However, finding the descendants of the Demon King was worthwhile, as it did not disappoint the previous Demon King and Demon Queen.
When Li Yang saw her relieved smile, she frowned slightly. She wouldn't want to die, would she?
Li Yang looked at his arm, rolled up his sleeve, and stretched it out. "White Bird, drink my blood."
The sudden appearance of Li Yang's voice in her mind made Bai Niao somewhat incredulous. She looked at Li Yang, but the little girl's gaze was elsewhere, while her fair arm was held across her face.
Bai Niao suddenly relaxed his brows and patted her hand, saying, "Demon King, only a drop of blood is needed. Bai Niao thanks you for saving my life."
Li Yang gave her an awkward look and held up a finger. "Hurry up and bite, and don't drag me back this time!"
Seemingly realizing her tone wasn't very pleasant, she added, "If I want to be the Demon King, I'll say so myself..."
