Above the vast expanse of desolate land, the sky was gray as though it was covered with a veil. Amidst the sandstorm, a stone dragon more than ten meters long was flapping its heavy stone wings as it flew across the sky.
And sitting cross-legged on the back of the stone dragon was a youth that looked and dressed extremely ordinarily.
The youth had his arms crossed in front of his chest and his eyes were closed. It was as though he was not worried that the stone dragon would suddenly do a backflip and throw him off the ground.
The stone dragon was also flying extremely stably. It steadily flapped its wings and its flight trajectory was very simple. It was not fanciful at all, as though it was afraid that it would jolt the youth on its back.
Shi Xiaobai could only see the youth's back, but from the back, he did not seem to know the youth. However, seeing the stone dragon fly so carefully, he immediately guessed that the stone dragon was the youth's mount.
Shi Xiaobai, who had eaten rocks the entire way, was already sick of the taste. However, he did not know what the dragon meat made of rocks tasted like. It made him feel craving for it.
However, if the stone dragon was the youth's mount, things would not be easy.
Shi Xiaobai sighed lightly. He touched his conscience and asked himself, could he really bear to let go of the delicacy in front of him?
It was a little difficult!
Shi Xiaobai hesitated for a moment before he decided to first 'discuss' with the youth.
Shi Xiaobai sprinted at full speed and quickly closed the distance between him and the dragon.
The youth sitting on the dragon's back seemed to be rather powerful. He could sense someone chasing him from behind as he opened his eyes to take a glance.
The speed at which Shi Xiaobai sprinted at full speed was astounding, but the youth's eyes only flashed a hint of surprise before he closed his eyes again, as though he could not be bothered with the sudden pursuer.
When Shi Xiaobai reached a distance of a hundred meters, the stone dragon also sensed that something was chasing it from behind. The dragon turned its head and roared intimidatingly.
The roar was deafening and had a rather powerful dragon's might, but to Shi Xiaobai, it was like a delicious duck quacking at him.
Shi Xiaobai immediately felt even more craving for it.
Perhaps it had sensed the deep malice from the black-haired youth, the stone dragon hurriedly turned its head and flapped its wings with all its might. It flew out at an even faster speed, as though it was escaping.
"Where do you think you're going!?"
Shi Xiaobai laughed loudly as he chased after it.
The stone dragon's speed was not slow, but it was still slightly inferior to Shi Xiaobai. The distance was constantly closing.
"Roar!"
The stone dragon kept roaring and flapping its wings with all its might, using all its strength to escape. Soon, it realized that it couldn't shake off the human, so it could only fly into the sky.
The stone dragon flew higher and higher until it stopped a few hundred meters in the air. It looked down at Shi Xiaobai, who had caught up to it. Its gigantic stone eyes were filled with mockery.
Humans without wings could only watch helplessly from the ground!
Shi Xiaobai was amused. Indeed, he could not fly now, but his sword techniques had been cultivated to a certain realm. Unless the gigantic dragon flew ten thousand meters into the sky, there was no way it could escape his grasp.
Seeing how calm the youth on the dragon's back was, Shi Xiaobai did not plan on showing any mercy.
There was a price to pay for acting tough in front of him!
A black sword appeared in Shi Xiaobai's hand. With his Sword Truth activated, Shi Xiaobai slashed upwards.
The golden Sword Qi soared into the sky and slashed towards the abdomen of the stone dragon like a rocket.
The stone dragon hurriedly lowered its head and opened its mouth, spitting out a grayish-colored, ice-cold dragon breath at the golden sword aura.
Boom!
The two forces collided and instantly exploded, like a golden firework.
However, in the resplendent fireworks, a transparent sword aura shot out once again like a cicada shedding its carapace. It charged straight at the stone dragon's abdomen.
There was a sword within a sword. The golden sword aura contained a transparent sword aura. This was a move Shi Xiaobai had come up with after his sword aura had been blocked numerous times.
The stone dragon clearly did not expect the human beneath it to have such ingenious and sinister means. It could not react in time and could only watch helplessly as the nearly transparent sword aura slammed into its abdomen.
At this moment, the youth on the dragon's back finally opened his eyes once again. A silver beam flashed in his ordinary-looking eyes.
Without seeing the youth do anything, a silver shield of light suddenly appeared in front of the stone dragon's abdomen. With a clang, the sword aura collided with the shield of light, causing both to shatter at the same time.
Shi Xiaobai's eyebrows pricked up slightly. The second transparent sword aura was weaker to begin with. Furthermore, it had suffered damage from a distance of hundreds of meters, so it was only natural that it could be blocked. However, the appearance of the silver shield of light was somewhat odd. How did the youth, who was sitting on the dragon's back, accurately conjure the shield at the stone dragon's abdomen through its body?
"Interesting."
As Shi Xiaobai ran, he gathered his strength and slashed at the stone dragon high in the sky once again.
A golden storm of blades swept up as the sword auras swept towards the stone dragon like sharp arrows.
The sword auras crisscrossed and mixed in the wind. The youth's eyebrows pricked up as he finally stretched out his arms that were crossed in front of his chest.
The youth stretched out his right index finger as a silver light bloomed on his fingertip. At an extremely fast speed, he drew a pattern that looked like a magic array in midair.
A gigantic silver shield of light appeared beneath the stone dragon, covering its entire body.
"Peng! Peng! Peng! "
More than a hundred golden sword auras struck the silver shield of light, causing it to tremble incessantly. Soon, cracks began to appear on its surface, as though it was about to shatter.
However, only when the final sword aura struck did the silver shield of light that was already in a precarious situation shatter!
Shi Xiaobai was slightly alarmed. Was this a coincidence? Or was it calculated?
This youth was not simple!
Shi Xiaobai's fighting spirit immediately ignited. The stone dragon was probably not delicious, but the harder it was to obtain something, the more tempting it was!
Shi Xiaobai was pondering over how he could slay the stone dragon that was flying hundreds of meters in the sky from the hands of the seemingly 'aloof' youth. Furthermore, it seemed like it was still flying higher.
At this moment, a shout came from the sky.
"Watch your feet!"
It seemed to be the youth's shout.
Shi Xiaobai was slightly surprised as he felt a sense of danger. He hurriedly came to a halt. Thankfully, Crab Steps had a deceptive nature. Its ability to change his footwork was something that many movement techniques could not match. Shi Xiaobai seemed to violate the principle of inertia as he came to a halt.
After Shi Xiaobai came to a stop, he looked at the ground in front of him. He saw a ravine that was hundreds of meters wide not far away!
This ravine traversed the desolate land. It was bottomless, and there was only endless darkness as far as the eye could see. It was hundreds of meters wide, and it was nearly impossible to cross it with human strength.
If not for the youth's warning and Shi Xiaobai's perception of danger, he would probably have plunged into the ravine with all his attention focused on the sky.
Shi Xiaobai did not have wings after all, so he was unable to cross the ravine by force. From the looks of it, he would not be able to chase after it.
The stone dragon seemed to notice this as it raised its head and roared, as though it was cheering for being able to escape the human.
Shi Xiaobai curled his lips. Food that was right in front of his mouth had flown away. How infuriating!
Shi Xiaobai immediately felt hungry from his anger. He took out a rock from his pocket and stuffed it into his mouth to chew on it.
Well, the rock was beef-flavored, so it was quite chewy.
Shi Xiaobai began to eat the rock to vent his anger. He secretly swore to himself that he would slaughter the stone dragon the next time he met it. He wanted to have a taste of the stone dragon's meat.
At this moment, there was a sudden gust of wind above him.
Shi Xiaobai looked up and saw the stone dragon that had fled far away flying back!
Pant, pant …
The stone dragon flew closer and landed on the ground beside Shi Xiaobai.
The stone dragon was staring at Shi Xiaobai with hostility and wariness. It was in a defensive state, clearly unwilling to fly back.
Then, it was likely that the youth on the dragon's back had flown back because of something?
Indeed, the youth's voice immediately came from the stone dragon's back.
"Brother, can I buy something to eat from you?"
The youth jumped down from the stone dragon's back and stared at Shi Xiaobai with sparkling eyes.
Shi Xiaobai immediately found it amusing. He had planned on eating the stone dragon the youth was riding on, but he never expected the youth to come back to buy food from him?
How could he have anything to eat?
However, the youth had previously warned him to be careful of his feet. Although it was superfluous for him, it did not seem like he was a bad person. Shi Xiaobai did not need to give him a sour look.
Shi Xiaobai shook his head and said, "Sorry, This King does not have any food to sell."
The youth's eyebrows pricked up slightly, clearly not used to Shi Xiaobai's way of addressing himself. However, he quickly pointed at the rock in Shi Xiaobai's hand and said with a laugh, "Isn't this food? I believe you have quite a lot in your pocket. "
The rock in Shi Xiaobai's hand had been bitten off in half. No matter how one looked at it, the rock looked like food that looked like a rock. If not, how could anyone eat it?
However, Shi Xiaobai knew that it was not because the rock was food, but because something was wrong with him. He could only say, "Sorry, this isn't food. It's just a rock."
The youth frowned slightly, as though he was unhappy. He said, "Brother, this looks like a rock, but you and I both know that it's actually a rock cake. It's an extremely famous delicacy in the capital. I haven't eaten it in a while, so I suddenly feel a craving for it. If you can't bear to part with it, just say it. Is there a need to fabricate such a clumsy excuse? I have seen you eat several pieces of rock cake with my own eyes. The one in your hand has also been bitten off in half. Are you telling me that you are eating rocks? "
Shi Xiaobai fell silent. What he was eating was, without a doubt, a rock.
However, if he said it out loud, the youth would probably think that he was treating him as a fool.
Shi Xiaobai could only shake his head and say, "This is really a rock."
Shi Xiaobai did not wish to scam others. After all, the youth had warned him to be careful.
The youth sighed and said, "100,000 Chinese dollars to buy a piece of rock cake. Are you selling it?"
Shi Xiaobai was slightly surprised.
The youth immediately stretched out two fingers. "200,000?"
Shi Xiaobai was somewhat surprised and did not know how to answer.
"300,000?"
The youth said with a deep voice, "A million. A million to buy a piece of rock cake. How about that?"
Shi Xiaobai felt helpless.
A million for a piece of rock …
Sigh, this matter is so difficult to reject!
