Chapter 758: Chapter 757: Taking a Dragon as an Underling and a Surprise Surge in the Power of Faith
"Seeing you suffer so much, this Lord Mosquito will be merciful and put you out of your misery."
Chu Sheng stretched out a foreleg.
The Silent Extinction Nether Flame flickered at its tip, a black flame dancing, ready to incinerate its Soul Fire.
"Wait! Don’t do it!"
The Frost Bone Dragon repeated urgently, its Soul Fire flickering violently with agitation.
It almost went out!
"Don’t kill me!"
"If you just take me to the next cavern, I’ll give you anything you want!"
Chu Sheng looked over the pile of shattered bones, his tone laced with mockery.
"Besides this pile of broken bones, you don’t even have a single hair to your name. What do you have to bargain with?"
"Besides, even if you did have something..."
"This Lord Mosquito could just kill you and take it."
"This..."
The Frost Bone Dragon was stunned, rendered instantly speechless.
In its current state, it truly had nothing to offer.
It had nothing but this pile of dismantled bones.
But the item in the next cavern was incredibly important to it—its sole goal after being resurrected.
It fell silent for a few seconds before speaking again, its tone pleading.
"As long as you take me there, I... I am willing to recognize you as my master! I’ll be your beast of burden without any complaint!"
’A beast of burden...’
Chu Sheng rubbed his chin, his interest genuinely piqued.
A mosquito riding a true Divine Dragon around would be far more impressive than riding a black dog.
The prestige would be maxed out.
Plus, the Dragon Race is tough-skinned and durable; they can both deal and take a beating.
Maximum utility.
"Alright, then. You can become my Beast Pet."
Chu Sheng didn’t waste any time. He extended a foreleg, and a drop of Essence Blood appeared at its tip, landing on the Frost Bone Dragon’s fading Soul Fire.
The Frost Bone Dragon didn’t dare to resist, allowing the Essence Blood to merge with its Soul Fire. The master-servant contract was instantly formed.
And so, Chu Sheng’s second Beast Pet was born.
The Frost Bone Dragon’s Soul Fire was about to go out.
If it remained outside, exposed to the elements, it wouldn’t last much longer.
His Beast Pet Space was also too small.
The Frost Bone Dragon’s skeleton, hundreds of meters long, would have no room to even move if he put it inside, which wouldn’t be good for its recovery.
So, with a casual wave, Chu Sheng opened the entrance to the Ziwei Palace.
He collected all the shattered Dragon Bones and tossed them into the Flower Sea to recuperate.
After doing all this, he patted his forelegs, nodded in satisfaction, and turned to fly into the Bronze Gate.
After he left, in a distant corner, Huo Lang and Big Y were still standing there in a daze, unable to process what had happened for a long time.
"What about the... the huge Frost Bone Dragon?"
"Where did it go?"
Huo Lang looked all around and rubbed his eyes.
But he couldn’t find a single trace of the Frost Bone Dragon, not even a bone fragment.
"That mosquito must have taken it..."
Big Y said uncertainly, his voice a bit shaky.
’A mosquito, taking a dragon as its underling?’
At that moment, Huo Lang’s repeatedly shattered worldview didn’t just rebuild—it instantly ascended, shining with a brilliant light.
"What mosquito?!!"
Huo Lang fiercely slapped his thigh, his expression solemn as he declared righteously.
"That is Lord Mosquito!!!"
He patted his chest, his tone firm and full of conviction.
"From this day forward, I, Huo Lang, am Lord Mosquito’s number one die-hard fan!!!"
"If anyone dares to say a bad word about Lord Mosquito, they’ll have to answer to me first!"
「Far away on Blue Star.」
Xiao Tian sneezed several times in a row and rubbed his nose.
’Who’s talking about me?’
He glanced at the limited-edition Chu Sheng figurine on his desk.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind, and he was struck by a strong premonition.
"No! Someone must be trying to steal my spot as Lord Mosquito’s number one die-hard fan!"
"This won’t do! I have to hurry up with my Cultivation, enter the Spirit Realm as soon as possible, and defend my status as the number one fan!"
Muttering to himself, Xiao Tian immediately sat down cross-legged, grabbed an Elixir from nearby, and began to cultivate with even greater effort.
He was full of motivation.
Leaving Xiao Tian to his fervent efforts on Blue Star, back in the Land of Burial, Huo Lang was already walking resolutely toward the Bronze Gate.
Big Y quickly grabbed him, a little worried.
"Boss, where are you going?"
"We couldn’t even beat the Frost Bone Dragon from this stage."
"If we keep going, won’t we just be cannon fodder?"
Huo Lang’s eyes were firm as he said with a serious expression.
"From now on, I am Lord Mosquito’s number one underling."
"Wherever Lord Mosquito goes, I will follow."
"Following Lord Mosquito is prestigious!"
He looked at Big Y and added,
"You don’t have to risk your life coming in with me. Just wait here."
"When the Secret Realm closes, you should leave as soon as possible. Don’t wait for me."
After speaking, Huo Lang no longer hesitated. He turned and continued walking resolutely toward the Bronze Gate.
Big Y watched his back, stomped his foot, and had no choice but to follow.
"Boss, wait for me! I’ll go with you!"
Chu Sheng, who was about to reach the junction of the passages, suddenly heard a system notification in his mind.
[Ding! Power of Faith +800]
’What’s going on?’
Chu Sheng was stunned, a little confused.
After he arrived in the Spirit Realm, the Power of Faith from Blue Star was blocked by the Spirit Realm’s barrier and couldn’t get through.
The value for his Power of Faith hadn’t increased since.
These eight hundred points of Power of Faith that suddenly appeared came out of nowhere.
’Whatever. Plenty of people worship this Lord Mosquito. It’s only normal to get a few more fans.’
Chu Sheng muttered nonchalantly, didn’t give it any more thought, and continued flying forward.
Soon, he flew into the cavern where the Cold Ice Passage and the Heat Wave Passage converged.
The moment he entered, a desolate, deathly still aura washed over him.
Before this cavern, the two passages each had their own unique scenery.
The Fire Passage had Celestial Cyan Grass growing on the ground and Fire Rock Ghost Vine on the stone walls.
The Ice Passage had Void Soul Beasts roaming about and a Frost Bone Dragon standing guard.
Whether it was Heavenly and Earthly Treasures or Bone Dragon Dog Beasts, there was at least the aura of creatures.
But this converging cavern was completely dead and silent.
There was no aura of any creature; it was terrifyingly quiet.
It was as if the Life Breath of the entire cavern had been sucked away by something, creating a deeply oppressive atmosphere.
Chu Sheng looked up toward the center of the cavern.
There, a stone well extended up from the ground.
The mouth of the well was about three meters above the ground. It had an ancient, simple design and was covered in unknown patterns.
The well was filled with spring water and didn’t look very deep.
Strangely, the spring water wasn’t clear and transparent.
Instead, it was half icy-blue and half fiery-red.
The blue half radiated a bone-chilling cold.
The red half radiated a scorching heat.
The two completely different powers met in the middle of the well water, forming a perfect tai chi pattern.
They didn’t encroach upon each other, yet they blended together.
Clearly, the source of Energy for the Cold Ice Passage and the Heat Wave Passage was right here.
This Tai Chi Spiritual Spring was one of the cores of the entire Secret Realm.
Chu Sheng didn’t approach to investigate immediately. Instead, he turned to look at the passage entrance to his left.
At almost the same moment, a figure in white walked out of the Heat Wave Passage. It was Gu Yuexi.
Gu Yuexi saw Chu Sheng as well.
She didn’t speak, only giving him a calm nod.
Chu Sheng’s form flickered, and he reverted to the size of a normal White-striped Aedes Mosquito, flapping his wings to land on her shoulder.
"Let’s go."
"There’s something good in that Spiritual Spring. You might like it."
Gu Yuexi couldn’t see what was deep within the Tai Chi Spiritual Spring, but she didn’t ask any questions.
She just nodded lightly and replied,
"Okay."
