Chapter 240: The Delicious Taste of Abyssal Wave Dragon Tentacles.
The now-dejected Abyssal Wave Dragon had no means to resist, her consciousness teetering on the brink of fainting as Jié Jié unceremoniously grabbed and tossed her back into battle.
“Good thing I caught you in time; otherwise, in this state, you might’ve accidentally fallen into the Valley of Miasma and broken into pieces.”
Jié Jié descended, pinning the Abyssal Wave Dragon who could barely stand after rolling around. He began poking at the small tentacles at the ends of her wings with his claws.
These little tentacles seemed to have their own reflexive nerves, wriggling about chaotically under his prodding—adorable to no end.
Besides, they were regenerative. A previously damaged tentacle by a Breath Weapon was already showing signs of regeneration, highly reminiscent of an octopus from his memories.
If it can regenerate? Then it’s safe to munch away!
Jié Jié lowered his head, bit off one of the Abyssal Wave Dragon’s tentacles, and started chewing, feeling the juices burst forth in his mouth.
Delicious texture! Let’s go for another one.
Meanwhile, the Abyssal Wave Dragon hadn’t fully passed out yet, sensing herself being eaten, a wave of immense fear crashed over her mind.
But without any strength to fight back, she chose to enter a protective state of unconsciousness in the face of such terror.
At least, she could die peacefully.
“She fainted already?”
Jié Jié sat down, still chewing on the tentacle while poking her chubby cheeks.
She’s really out cold.
The Míng Dēng Lóng’s perception analyzed the Abyssal Wave Dragon’s body, precisely locating the source of energy.
However, considering extracting the jade would weaken her, there was a chance the tentacles wouldn’t regenerate anymore. So Jié Jié decided to wait, watching the tentacles regenerate before eating them again, like an all-you-can-eat buffet.
As he ate, the Abyssal Wave Dragon slowly regained consciousness and some strength to struggle.
But Jié Jié immediately restrained her head with both arms, knocking her out once more with a swift retaliation for her earlier resistance.
From afternoon until night, he relied solely on these juicy tentacles, nearly filling up the Abyssal Wave Dragon’s totem.
Finally, he pierced through her chest with his claw, carefully extracting the energy source using his perception.
The moment the jade was removed, the Abyssal Wave Dragon’s body trembled slightly, looking even more frail than before, her vital activities reaching their lowest point.
After swallowing the jade, Jié Jié transformed into an Abyssal Wave Dragon himself. His large frame shrank, his long limbs became shorter, and two wings merged into one, with elongated tentacles sprouting from the wingtips.
Transformed, water flowed gently from his mouth, forming a bubble encapsulating the unconscious Abyssal Wave Dragon.
In this watery world, the dimming Abyssal Wave Dragon began to regain some luster thanks to the abundance of water. The ancient dragon’s self-protection mechanism finally kicked in, drawing water tightly towards her body.
Even without Jié Jié’s control, this aquatic sphere could naturally sustain itself until she awakened.
Her vitality also recovered within this water realm, the water pressing against her wounds to close them. As a monster among monsters, the Ancient Dragon showcased its formidable vitality.
Jié Jié waited beside the Abyssal Wave Dragon, curious about how she’d react upon waking. Would she realize she’d been saved by a fellow dragon?
Before the Abyssal Wave Dragon woke, however, familiar thundering hoof sounds reached his ears, making him raise an eyebrow.
Clearly, Qí Lín had been observing him for quite some time. Was it to confirm his actions?
Did he understand the logic behind his abilities?
As thoughts raced through his mind, Jié Jié raised his head to meet the elder Qí Lín’s gaze.
This time, he felt the Qí Lín’s eyes bore resemblance to those of Ancient Dragon People—observant and contemplative.
Perhaps, this elder had once formed a resonance with the Dragon People?
The two dragons stared at each other, seemingly lost in their own musings.
Jié Jié focused, probing the azure lightning above, receiving emotional feedback through the electric sensation.
Unquestionably, the other had noticed the dark curtains soaring across the sky and reacted with caution. They observed his behavior, especially when he treated the Abyssal Wave Dragon’s tentacles like a buffet, sending waves of discomfort until he reactivated her self-protection mechanism.
Once the resonance was established, Jié Jié quickly withdrew his thoughts and part of his consciousness meant for resonance.
He figured it best not to reveal certain peculiar ideas about the Abyssal Wave Dragon, both for his integrity and for the purity of young minds.
Upon detecting his retreat, the Qí Lín let out a dissatisfied hum, pursuing his retreating thoughts with electric sensations.
Following the principle of exchange, Jié Jié understood what he needed to convey.
This was his first effective interaction with another monster since becoming one himself!
Images of his heroic figure driving away cold disasters, the silhouette of the newborn Míng Dēng Lóng, the migrating back view of the Sunfire Dragon, and the delightful taste of Abyssal Wave Dragon tentacles flashed through his mind.
The Qí Lín snorted lightly and stepped back slightly, cutting off the resonance between the two dragons.
Apparently, the Qí Lín had zero interest in the taste of Abyssal Wave Dragon tentacles.
Jié Jié pondered, realizing this first successful resonance confirmed many things. Perhaps these elder Ancient Dragons truly had their own clique.
The Qí Lín then kicked the ground with his hooves, signaling that Jié Jié could follow.
Jié Jié wasn’t in a hurry to accompany him, instead pointing towards the recovering Abyssal Wave Dragon, indicating he would wait for her.
Ding! The Qí Lín’s favorability increased slightly.
When the Abyssal Wave Dragon began stirring inside the water world, emitting sounds as she woke, the Qí Lín disappeared from sight again.
The water world shattered like an egg, leaving the Abyssal Wave Dragon on the ground. She shook her head groggily, suddenly trembling and letting out a sharp scream.
Jié Jié’s attempt at resonance with the Abyssal Wave Dragon broke under her terrified shriek, confirming her lack of intelligence.
Panicking, she looked around, her gaze quickly locking onto the fellow dragon before her.
Jié Jié stood proudly, hands on hips if translated into human form.
It was me who saved you, you know!
Unfortunately, the not-so-smart Abyssal Wave Dragon didn’t appreciate it, averting her gaze in panic and fleeing with a flap of her wings.
Of course, he shouldn’t have expected much from her social capabilities.
Or maybe she was just too scared.
Jié Jié shook his head, transforming into a walking Spiny Dragon and following the direction of the thunderous hoof sounds.
Their journey lacked much interaction, maintaining a relatively safe distance until they reached the edge of the Coral Land Plateau.
Here, the Coral Land stretched horizontally, almost connecting to the rugged canyon filled with jagged rocks.
On the jagged rock peaks, numerous marks of punches dotted the landscape.
Walking several kilometers past the rocks and peaks, he finally spotted the little Sui Long he had entrusted to the Qí Lín before…
