Dragon Tamer

The thing Zhu Minglang was most worried about was the comfort of the Sword Spirit Dragon. Since it was well and even conveying a very comfortable feeling, Zhu Minglang felt much more at ease.

For a while, he could not find a way back to the Earth Vein Fire Pistil, and even if he went back now, it probably wouldn’t mean much. The anxious fire stream was still incessantly venting its anger towards the scars of the Earth Vein, as if to burn all intruders to ashes.

However, this restlessness was meaningless. The Sword Spirit Dragon lay in the most comfortable, most serene, and most energetic place. This nourishment and moulding surpassed all the spiritual resources that a Dragon Shepherd could collect!

After all, the Earth Vein Fire Pistil is an exceptionally special existence. It seems that the Earth Vein Fire Pistil itself possesses a certain level of Spiritual Wisdom. The agitated fire stream is simply unwilling to allow any covetous beings to approach it, which is why it doesn’t need any powerful guardian creatures at all.

But the Earth Vein Fire Pistil could not have anticipated the existence of something as special as the Sword Spirit Dragon in this world. After tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of years of accumulation, it ended up becoming the wet nurse for baby Sword Spirit Dragons. To add insult to injury, this creature, having feasted to its heart’s content, still refuses to leave…

The fire could only release its fury through the surrounding Earth Veins, and it was the sea creatures on the ocean floor that suffered the consequences. The Earth Vein Fire does not extinguish even when it meets water, creating a vast expanse of flames on the seabed rocks. As a result, this area of the ocean presented a stunning marvel.

The sky was a brilliant blue, the ocean an emerald green, but deeper beneath the ocean, there appeared a vast plain of fire. Although its energy did not spread across the whole ocean, it forced those giant seafloor beasts, aquatic demons, and ancient sea creatures to flee to the surface, all looking as if they had no place to call home!

Most of the seafloor demons were well-hidden, and even for a dominant water creature like the Malevolent Water Dragon, it was not easy to find them under normal circumstances.

As a result of the invasion of the Earth Vein Fire Pistil by a little thief, all those millennial and perennial ancient sea monsters were forced out, much to the Malevolent Water Dragon’s delight!!

Normally, catching a ten-thousand-year-old sea monster for a meal would require a lot of effort, but today they were all near the shallow layers of the sea—it was like a new year celebration, a new year celebration!!

The Malevolent Water Dragon, like a tiger among sheep, began enjoying a gluttonous feast. With its cultivation base and power, those ancient sea creatures were nothing more than sizable chunks of meat!

However, the Malevolent Water Dragon couldn’t do as it pleased because a mad dog of a dragon was always at its tail!

This mad dog was truly crazy. With so many Ten Thousand Year Saint Spirits being blasted out of the sea, if it wanted to drink blood, it could have been dead drunk by now.

Yet, the crazed dragon showed no interest in the other ancient sea creatures with Saint Spirits. It just kept biting at the Malevolent Water Dragon. Not only was it picky, but its taste was also extremely particular!

“Ao!!!!!!!” the Malevolent Water Dragon roared furiously at the insane dragon.

With a sea full of Saint Spirit delicacies within easy reach, they are mine for the taking. It’s all the same on my territory. You drink your blood, I eat my meat. I won’t concern myself with you, so why do you insist on relentlessly pursuing me?!

“Nuh~~~~~~~~” the TianSha Dragon King responded as well.

Their ages are too young, making their blood not rich enough. It’s your nearly thirty thousand years of dragon blood that tastes more delicious!

“Ao!!!!!!!” the Malevolent Water Dragon raged, charging at the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon in a seemly desperate fight to the death!

In this vast ocean, countless members of the Demon Race gathered on the surface, and many sea demons were visible everywhere, including several with the power of Ten Thousand Year Saint Spirits, some being sixteen thousand, some eighteen thousand years old…

At first, this group of seafloor demon saints were trembling in fear, thinking they would struggle under the terror of the two great Dragon Kings. But then, they discovered the two kings were fighting each other desperately, turning the sky dark and sea muddy. A few demon saints gradually realized that their lives were not in danger and even casually caught some seafood. They gnawed on their catches while their eyes widened in astonishment, watching the divine battle unfold!

…

Beneath the scars of the Earth Vein, Zhu Minglang had unknowingly ventured into even deeper depths.

Zhu Minglang even saw a ridge made of Red Wu Rock Crystals, magnificently piercing through several Veins of the Earth and windingly lying in this underground world.

The ridge is like the spine of the earth, and if the Veins of the Earth can be understood as the bones of the earth, then the ridge is the fulcrum that connects all the veins. Once the ridge shatters, countless veins would collapse along with it, and as a result, a terrifying scene of landslides and sinkholes would ensue.

Zhu Minglang saw many rare ores, and Red Xuanwu Stones were very valuable. He casually took some, specifically choosing those of good quality, not for selling, but occasionally to be used for grinding the teeth of his dragon pets.

Walking along the spectacular ridge, Zhu Minglang discovered a new crack in front that seemed to have been created by the recent disturbances, and beneath the crack, there was a huge cavern with emerald-colored seawater, akin to an Emerald Lake!

Zhu Minglang inwardly acclaimed it.

He must have reached the depths of the Veins of the Earth since he even saw the ridge, and in such a mysterious and unknown place, there appeared a cavern lake rippling with green light!

Yet Zhu Minglang couldn’t resist his curiosity and climbed down along that newly formed crack.

The water in the pool was clear and sparkling, like a fairyland spring, which made the pitch-black, cold stone-veined underworld seem like an oasis had appeared…

Zhu Minglang suspected he had been in the darkness for too long and began to experience illusions.

But as he got closer, he could distinctly feel a comfortable aura, like a mist, gradually dispelling his tension and fear.

Zhu Minglang continued to climb down, but suddenly he saw a person sitting by that Emerald Lake, and moreover, the figure was graceful with exaggerated curves, with water-blue long hair obscuring the body down to the waist…

Zhu Minglang was taken aback!

How could there be a woman sitting here!

This is in the Veins of the Earth, what kind of person could dwell in such a place??

The woman was softly humming, and only after Zhu Minglang got a bit closer did he hear that melodious tune. To hear such a somewhat intoxicating voice in this mysterious and unknown world below, he wasn’t sure whether to describe it as eerie or beautiful.

Eventually, the woman sitting in the Emerald Lake detected something.

She suddenly turned her face, which was a pale greenish-white complexion, with particularly large eyes, so large they were somewhat beyond those of most humans.

Her nose was extremely small, so small it was almost imperceptible, and on her forehead were two horns, like those of a young deer, while her chin was exceptionally pointed…

One could say all of her facial features were somewhat shocking compared to those of humans, but all combined on this petite face, they gave a feeling of delicate beauty with a touch of strangeness!

She covered her chest with her hands, clearly possessing feminine traits, and they were particularly ample.

But upon detecting Zhu Minglang, she seemed somewhat panicked.

Before getting a clear look at him, this somewhat demonic woman dexterously dove into the water, plunging straight into the Emerald Lake. Following her supernaturally slender waist diving into the water, Zhu Minglang saw her tail—a Dragon Tail!

To be precise, below her waist was a Dragon!
