Thick, milky-white mist rose from the soles of Bai Wu’s feet and began enveloping his whole body. The sudden increase of pressure forced the Gu worms to retreat. Even Xiao Ya, who was bereft of cognizance, was afraid to move when overwhelmed by the intimidating dragon.
“Xiao Ya! What are you doing? I spent so much of my thoughts on you and yet you can’t even face these few people? What use do I have for you then!” Wu Ling screamed at Xiao Ya with a voice that had become shrill all of a sudden.
Devoid of any consciousness, Xiao Ya’s entire body shivered and froze right where it stood. Her legs were initially retracted but she began to move forward hesitantly. With her on the front line were the Gu worms that had been raised using her life force.
“Awoo, awoo, awoo!” The white mist dispersed gradually to reveal a pure white dragon standing right in front of everyone’s eyes. Right from the start, Bai Wu displayed his combat form. Crouching on the ground, Bai Wu directed an angry glare and a howl at Wu Ling.
The Gu vessel became distracted and stood still. Bai Wu’s intense dragon might stifled her and made her unable to move from where she stood. A glimmer flashed through Wu Ling’s eyes – she was staring voraciously at Bai Wu.
“Get up!” Xu Lan shouted from his position atop Bai Wu’s back, indicating for their comrades to climb onto Bai Wu from the tail.
“Dragon! A real dragon! Before my very eyes! Da Bai! Get a hold of him, quickly! If I could use him to refine the Gu, there’ll surely be plenty of people who would fight over buying it!”
On one side was Wu Ling’s insistent urging. On the other, it was the dragon’s hard-to-counter might. Da Bai’s face was drained of blood, he curled up in agony on the ground and began twitching.
“Wu Ling! What’s gotten into you? How could you do such a thing! Xiao Ya! Xiao Ya’s your child!” The village chief slowly regained awareness. When he saw the fiendish malevolence of Wu Ling, he exploded in condemnation.
“Da Bai! What are you staring at! Aren’t you going to hurry up and catch me that dragon?” Wu Ling shot a look of despise at the village chief then shouted at the groaning strong man who was lying on the ground!
The man got up involuntarily and began walking rigidly toward Bai Wu. His hands headed for Bai Wu like the caress of nimble snakes. The area beneath the man’s feet parted slowly to reveal a mass of Gu worms, which subsequently commenced their attack at Bai Wu.
“Hmph! You overestimate yourself!” A swipe of Bai Wu’s tail was all it took to cause a loud rumbling sound and the stone door cracked open. The spreading of his wings resulted in wind rising beneath his feet – he took to the air immediately and soared in the space above Wu Ling.
“Arghh! No! Don’t go!” Wu Ling shouted frantically when she saw that Bai Wu was heading up to the skies. Without the stone door as a barrier, the Gu worms spread about in all directions. Like hollowed out shells, Xiao Ya and Da Bai lay paralyzed on the ground, curled into a ball.
“Bai Wu, we can’t go just yet. I have the feeling that nothing is as simple as it seems when it comes to these Gu worms. I think it’s best you bring Wu Ling up too.” Xu Lan – who was seated in front of everyone else and was hugging Bai Wu’s neck – remarked.
Wu Ling shouted, wailed, and looked at Bai Wu. Her high-pitched voice resonated in the boundless sky and was abnormally ear-piercing.
“All that is left behind by such people is destruction!” Bai Wu gnashed his teeth and said. He stooped and used his claws to grab her by the shoulder, bringing her up into the skies! Seeing that Bai Wu was heading for her, she instantly let out a hair-raising smile. Xu Lan saw it and felt absolutely terrified.
“Tsk. She’s certainly intending to fill my stomach with all kinds of nasty creatures! How I wish I could drop her from here!” Bai Wu ranted. The mere thought of it sent shivers down his spine.
“F*CK! What is this?!” Bai Wu paused suddenly, for there was something wrapping around his thighs!
