Chapter 353: Beneath the Snake King Dragon’s Skull.
“Though we look pitiful not being able to have the soup, Nana, you really are hilarious right now! Hum hum hum hum!”
The Flame Empress Dragon lowered her head into the soup, her crest getting stuck on the pot. As she tried to raise her head, the entire pot ended up on her head, scaring her as she wobbled around trying to remove it.
Hearing Jié Jié’s mocking laughter, Nana lunged in his direction, her vision obscured by the iron pot, and directly collided with his head.
“Dong!”
“Eyyow!”
Jié Jié, after being knocked over, climbed back up and started wrestling with Nana, quickly pinning her down.
Just as he was about to help remove the pot, he noticed that Nana’s body beneath him seemed more tense than usual, likely a subconscious reaction from not being able to see.
“Hum hum hum.”
Jié Jié chuckled mischievously, his shell scraping against hers, creating sparks. The Flame Empress Dragon under him wriggled slightly in resistance, emitting a more nervous sound than usual.
When Jié Jié accidentally shook his head, he caught a glimpse of the iron pot watching them, its shape drooping like a disheartened crow, exuding a fluffy aura.
“Cough.”
A bit awkwardly coughing, he seriously removed the pot from Nana’s head and stepped off her.
Nana flipped herself back up and pressed against him, making a discontented noise.
Her tail swayed gently as Jié Jié picked up the large pot, using the dragon meat encrusted on the pot to boil another batch of soup. After tasting it, he called for the Iron Pot to come drink some.
Nana stirred beside him but was held down by him stepping on her claw.
After drinking so much and having stewed her own pot, she was quite satisfied and wasn’t as protective of her food as before.
The Fire Dragon who had just been looking all puffed up instantly perked up, letting out a joyful cry and burying his head happily into the pot.
The red long tail hooked onto the blue one, leaving the pot for itself, while Jié Jié led Nana deeper into the underground palace…
When the two dragons emerged, Nana’s long, straight blue mane was tied into a double ponytail, bouncing constantly as she shook her head, drawing everyone’s attention.
Iron Pot, having drunk its fill, curled up on the floor to rest. Seeing the two dragons return, it let out a call in greeting before retreating again.
Nana quietly stared at the Male Fire Dragon, recalling the image of the young fire dragon hatching that Jié Jié had shared with her, once again pressing her body against the Flame King Dragon’s side.
“Let’s rest first, next time for sure!”
Jié Jié shook his head, soothing Nana to sleep before gazing at the expansive Golden Land, feeling it was too empty.
Perhaps it needed some decoration?
Mentioning decorations, Jié Jié immediately thought of the snake king dragon skull in the Valley of Miasma.
That would be flashy; he wanted to bring it to the Golden Land. He could also find some bones to try crafting a new Ruin City.
He set off immediately!
Jié Jié flapped his wings and flew into the sky, looking down at the Male Fire Dragon and Flame Empress Dragon below. He had already informed Nana about the feelings between the fire dragons and himself.
Although Nana still wouldn’t treat Iron Pot as her own, leaving them together wouldn’t cause any problems.
Flying out of the Golden Land with peace of mind, Jié Jié headed northward, entering the depths of the Grand Canyon after a long absence.
The Valley of Miasma was the same as always, the foul-smelling gas molecules wrapped in miasma spreading everywhere, the sky dim and gloomy.
But amidst this dimness, there was an additional sense of burning heat. The Flame King Dragon’s fiery territory was killing many microorganisms within the miasma.
If not influenced by the Life Light, the Flame King Dragon should have come here to prepare for his death, right?
Perhaps he was battling with the monsters in the Valley of Miasma, Jié Jié’s battle senses were jumping continuously.
Flapping his wings, he descended, seeing the Corpse Suit Dragon attempting to help maintain the Flame King Dragon’s dignity.
It was clear that Miss Pingzhang wanted to tidy up the Flame King Dragon’s appearance, but… she couldn’t defeat him.
This Flame King Dragon was an old individual. Although numerically weaker compared to Jié Jié and the Extinction Dragon, his combat experience was solid. His fiery territory suppressed the Corpse Suit Dragon’s miasma, soon turning her into a torch, forcing her to retreat into the denser miasma.
Seemingly due to victory, the Flame King Dragon’s demeanor became even more spirited, the air temperature rising.
As the fiery territory intensified, it quickly subsided. The Flame King Dragon didn’t move far but squatted down, waiting silently for death.
Won’t he go to the Dragon Crystal Land?
Jié Jié suppressed his urge to act, observing the Flame King Dragon from atop the Snake King Dragon’s jawbone.
While keeping an eye on the Flame King Dragon, he looked up at the Snake King Dragon skeleton, contemplating where to start dismantling the Snake King Dragon’s skull.
His sharp insight captured a few weak joints, seeming ready to proceed.
But his gaze suddenly froze when he looked upward.
The Flame King Dragon seemed unable to wait for a peaceful death. A feeble yet tenacious figure tore through the curtain of flesh and sinew from above, diving straight toward the Flame King Dragon below.
The Extinction Dragon had arrived, unwilling to let such an easy prey slip away.
Red and black clashed as the Extinction Dragon used her madness to tear flesh from the Flame King Dragon, replenishing her strength.
After a series of exchanges, the Flame King Dragon chose to flee, flapping his wings to fly away.
However, the original continent’s Flame King Dragon wasn’t a strong flier. He was chased into aerial combat by the Extinction Dragon, white spines and red shells falling from the sky.
Relying on explosive dust, the Flame King Dragon managed to break free from the descending Extinction Dragon but then flew around aimlessly like a headless fly, flames and sparks swirling around him fiercely.
Suddenly stopping his chaos, he ascended towards the sky, intending to leave the Valley of Miasma.
This was not his burial ground; he had to go further north!
The Extinction Dragon took flight again, climbing faster than the Flame King Dragon.
The Flame King Dragon saw Jié Jié under the Snake King Dragon’s skull and decided to lead the Extinction Dragon directly towards this younger relative.
Suffering together was better than suffering alone. As relatives, they had more potential for cooperation.
“Still got dragged into trouble.”
Looking at the Flame King Dragon and the Extinction Dragon rushing towards him, Jié Jié sighed and transformed into Queen Mantis in their shocked gazes.
The weak points he had previously noticed kept flashing in his memory. Dodging the Flame King Dragon’s charge, resilient silk threads shot out during the skirmish, hitting those weak points.
Jumping on the silk threads, a Mantis Fist interrupted the biting Flame King Dragon.
Realizing the Extinction Dragon was approaching from behind, the Flame King Dragon redirected his attack. Unable to contain the flames and dust on his body, he charged towards the Extinction Dragon, determined to explode spectacularly.
“You shouldn’t have come at me.”
By this time, Jié Jié had tightly pulled the silk threads. Next, all he needed to do was pull a little harder—
Calculating the positions of the Flame King Dragon and the Extinction Dragon, he sharply yanked the silk thread connected to the Snake King Dragon’s upper jaw!
