The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 625 - 267: Jade Devil Dragon_3

Whether it was a blood connection or the second Taoist, only by ensuring Liuying’s safety would he have the courage to explore Demon Dragon Island.

"Quack quack~~"

GuaGua rubbed his little head against Ye Hanjun’s scalp and suddenly pointed in a direction.

Ye Hanjun raised his eyebrows and after advancing a thousand meters, he discovered a cliff with a man-width crevice on the side.

He did not squeeze in, but GuaGua zipped into it in a flash.

Soon, the little guy burst out holding a big piece of translucent, glowing object. He was spirited and seemed quite proud.

"Hey, seems like it is the shed skin of a Jade Devil Dragon. It can be used in medications as well as in soups."

Grabbing the glowing object, Ye Hanjun toyed with it for a while and his eyes lit up.

The Jade Devil Dragon is a mid-ranked Demon Dragon species, small in size, varying in color, and is often called "the moving jade".

They lack combat power, have cautious temperaments, and usually live in the deep underground, rarely come to the surface.

Once they do, it’s often because they are shedding their skin.

Each shedding of their skin suggests they are about to ascend to a higher rank.

The skin that GuaGua found likely belongs to a Jade Devil Dragon at the Perfection of the Wheel of Life.

It has successfully advanced to the Annihilation Rank’s Virtual Pull, and then returned underground again, carefully hiding itself.

"Not bad, a little treasure hunter?"

Ye Hanjun patted the little fellow’s head, and Little GuaGua enjoyed it immensely.

But with a zip, it dashed into the crevice for the second time.

In a short while, under Ye Hanjun’s astonished gaze, it dragged out a second Jade Devil Dragon skin, then a third, a fourth, a fifth...

By the time the seventh stage Jade Dragon skin was dragged out, Little GuaGua clapped its hands in an "all done" manner.

"Good boy! Over the years, as many as seven Jade Dragons have shed their skin here?"

Ye Hanjun looked through them for a while, still finding it bizarre.

He changed his words. Judging from the color and size of the dragon skin, these should belong to three Jade Devil Dragons.

They had transformed from the Jade Infant fetus to the Wheel of Life Embryo, and then from the Wheel of Life Embryo to Annihilation.

The oldest and most talented one among them might have evolved from a Perfection of Annihilation Jade Devil Dragon to a Heaven and Earth Stage ’Jade Devil Dragon’ through Ascending Evolution.

"Demon Dragon Island is fraught with crisis, but also has opportunities everywhere."

"The value of these seven dragon skins combined is a hundred times that of the Green Leaf Demon Dragon and is enough to be a ’Hunting Collection.’"

Ye Hanjun sighed lightly and then smiled.

Having these dragon skins without encountering a fight was not just an ineffable bargain, but also a sign of good luck.

Of course, he also had some fantasies about the ’Jade Devil Dragon.’

Thinking about it, after the Ascending Evolution into Heaven and Earth Stage, this clan had combat power. They could wield the powerful Jade Illusion Technique and no longer needed to hide.

And yet, this was still just one of the thousands of peculiar dragon species on Demon Dragon Island.

What exactly was waiting for him ahead?

Compared with those clansmen who had already stood at the top of the 5th Rank, he and Ye Liuying were just newcomers to the 5th Rank.

How much blood needs to be shed, how much suffering endured, in order to overcome his age disadvantage and catch up with these outsiders’ view of the pride of the night?

Ye Hanjun made a fist, his heart aflame.

As usual, he brushed away traces of his activity. He didn’t want to be tracked or discovered by anyone.

And then, he leaped over the cliff with his Wings of Night and disappeared into the primitive forest on the other side.

...

Half a month later, Ye Hanjun and Ye Liuying met up.

Ye Liuying, who looked as if she had just rolled in mud, was clutching her right arm, gritting her teeth in pain.

"What happened?"

Ye Hanjun was puzzled.

Though using the medicines within his storage ring was forbidden,

Demon Dragon Island was filled with spiritual plants. With the knowledge system of the Yushi Clan, he could easily concoct simple medicines from any he plucked.

Furthermore, Ye Liuying had the Demon Heart Chrysanthemum with her. It was a medicinal beast, its effects far stronger than ordinary spiritual medicine.

"I was stung by a Blood Bee Dragon. I can only rest, not daring to use medicines,"

Ye Liuying snorted, and releasing her grip revealed a bloody triangular tooth mark.

Ye Hanjun then understood that the so-called Blood Bee Dragon was an extremely insidious kind of demon dragon. If bitten, rash treatments would only speed up blood flow, leading to potential blood reflux, and in severe cases, bleeding from seven orifices and even death from exploding body.

— This type of injury was something the Demon Heart Chrysanthemum dared not treat.

Allowing it to naturally heal was actually the best option.

"GuaGua~~"

Little GuaGua probed around sniffing at Ye Liuying’s wounded arm.

Before Ye Liuying could respond, GuaGua, using ’GuaGua Brand Bath Milk’, gave her a full-body bath.

Seeing the lush bubbles slide over her skin,

Ye Liuying, who had frowned, now opened her eyes wide in astonishment.

Although the wound on her arm hadn’t healed, the restless blood flow inside her body had surprisingly returned to normal.

The triumphant GuaGua then used ’GuaGua Brand Body Lotion’.

White bubbles completely enveloped Ye Liuying, a warm ’Water Gun’ streamed on her face, then washed all the bubbles clean.

When Ye Liuying opened her eyes again, although her hair was soaking wet, there was no sight of the wound on her arm, not even a slight scar.

"This is amazing?"

"Compared to your Pure Beast, why do I feel my rightful Medicine Beast falls so short?"

Ye Liuying was trying to cuddle GuaGua, wanting to pat its head.

GuaGua evaded her, plopped down on Ye Hanjun’s head, and playfully made faces at her.

"Medicine Beast, before Yushi Clan, can only be tagged as ’rare’."

"On the other hand, Pure Beast is ’super rare’ - are they comparable?"

Ye Hanjun smiled meaningfully, tapping GuaGua’s nose.

With sparkling black eyes, Ye Liuying circled Ye Hanjun twice, but eventually gave up on her evil idea of grabbing GuaGua and giving it a rough handling.

"Where are we heading next?"

She turned around, asking cheerfully.

"Heaven and Earth Stage is too dangerous. There’s no need to provoke it at this moment."

Ye Hanjun propped up his chin, pondering:

"Let’s level up first. There are many opportunities lying around Demon Dragon Island. Should they be of any assistance in promoting Demon Heart Chrysanthemum or Huazhu to the Small Achievement of the Annihilation Rank, it could at least improve their self-preservation ability."

"Of course, obtaining experience points is also important."

"But since ’Night Angel’ is essentially a fighting-class authority and the more kills it makes, or the longer it stays in darkness, all effectively absorb experience points. These can be performed simultaneously without wasting time."

"Fine, let’s proceed with this plan."

Ye Liuying nodded, dispersing the water element in her hair with dark power - her waterfall-like hair regaining its usual fluffiness.
