The Red Sky Beast finally ran out of patience.
Even if it wanted to persevere, it no longer had the energy to use its clairvoyant left eye. Without this ability, its reactions became very sluggish, and its dodging was no longer as perfect. It was like a wild beast in a cage that had been poked blind, with nothing but brute strength.
Zhu Minglang and Linghu Ling attacked at the same time, leaving the Red Sky Beast with serious injuries.
"It's trying to run away again," Wu Xiao said.
He had been watching the Red Sky Beast carefully. However, it seemed like the Red Sky Beast was being forced into a corner. Its speed was three times faster than before. It was hard to tell if it was trying to save its energy, or if it was trying to unleash its potential at the last moment of its life.
It was like a red bolt of lightning, and the pair of wings on its back were flapping with great force.
Not only did the Red Sky Beast break free from Nüwa's heavy chains, it even smashed into the nest of dragon roots above its head.
"Crap!" Wu Xiao yelled.
"I told you not to be careless!" Mr. Koi could not stand it any longer. He scolded Wu Xiao.
Wu Xiao was ashamed, too. He never thought the Red Sky Beast would be so cunning. It was only pretending to be weak.
Once the Red Sky Beast reached a high place and was no longer restrained by them, it was equivalent to being completely free. Once it recovered its essence, it would be very difficult to use the Beast Trapping Method to kill it.
Zhu Minglang and Linghu Ling immediately chased after the Red Sky Beast as soon as it escaped from the cage.
Linghu Ling was obviously faster than the Red Sky Beast. The flying swords she was stepping on were arranged in a glamorous formation. The flying swords were supported by a blue glow, like flowing water!
"Miss Linghu, don't let it run away!" Zhu Minglang was behind the Red Sky Beast. He had already ordered the Fengyue White Dragon and the Tiansha Dragon to attack it from both sides. As long as Linghu Ling could stop it, the Red Sky Beast would surely die.
However, the Red Sky Beast was not an idiotic beast that would allow itself to be slaughtered. Its last burst of energy was quite shocking. Linghu Ling was still struggling to catch up to it.
Linghu Ling scattered the flying swords around her, but they were still a distance away from the Red Sky Beast.
"No, I can't touch it," Linghu Ling said.
"Give chase!" Zhu Minglang shouted.
Zhu Minglang stared at the Red Sky Beast. How could this cooked duck fly so fast?
"Long ~ ~ ~ Hou ~ ~ ~ ~"
A strange beast with a human face and a dragon's body charged out of the rain without any warning. It had a sturdy and long body, and claws comparable to those of a divine eagle.
The humanoid dragon-bodied monster flew straight towards the Red Sky Beast. First, it released golden lightning at it. Then, it used its front claws to clamp down on the Red Sky Beast, dragging the paralyzed Red Sky Beast even higher into the sky!!
"Hong hong hong hong hong!!!!!!"
Golden lightning bolts danced wantonly in the heavy rain, and the dim world was instantly illuminated as if it was daytime. The terrifying golden lightning flames blasted all the surrounding mountains into pieces.
It was like the Tribulation of a Great Golden Immortal. Linghu Ling did not dare to approach the terrifying scene. She stared at the ferocious humanoid dragon-bodied monster with an unwilling look.
"Thunder Lord Dragon!" Wu Xiao exclaimed in the distance.
In the world baptized by the rain, the Thunder Lord Dragon weaved through the golden lightning bolts like a heavenly deity patrolling the world. Every living thing seemed insignificant before its terrifying aura, as if they were just food that it could easily capture!
Zhu Minglang caught up to Linghu Ling. When he saw that she was about to attack the Thunder Lord Dragon, he immediately advised her, "It's unlikely that we can catch up to the Red Sky Beast. It's not a bad thing for it to fall into the Thunder Lord Dragon's hands."
"But we've worked so hard for so long, and the Thunder Lord Dragon took it away in the end!" Linghu Ling was furious. She had sacrificed a lot of beauty sleep, and she desperately needed the Red Sky Beast's Spiritual Core.
"It's fine, it's just a coincidence," Zhu Minglang said.
"What coincidence?" Linghu Ling turned around and looked at Zhu Minglang. She did not understand why Zhu Minglang was so calm.
In the past ten days, they had not only exhausted their energy. If they could not break the deadlock as soon as possible, they would soon be left behind by the other gods. Therefore, it was very important to maintain this state of being one step ahead of the others in the Dragon Gate.
"Didn't I tell you that I have my eyes on a prey?" Zhu Minglang laughed.
"You have your eyes on the Thunder Lord Dragon?" Linghu Ling was surprised.
Zhu Minglang nodded.
The Thunder Lord Dragon belonged to the Purple Dragon Race. In Mr. Koi's opinion, the Thunder Lord Dragon was the perfect choice for a Purple Dragon.
However, the Thunder Lord Dragon in the Dragon Gate was different from the Thunder Lord Dragon outside. This was a real Thunder Lord Dragon God, and it was impossible to tame it.
Due to his interest in the Thunder Lord Dragon, Zhu Minglang had his eyes on this Thunder Lord Dragon God from the very beginning.
"Let's leave the Red Sky Beast in its stomach for safekeeping for now. We will make some adjustments, and then take its spirit core," Zhu Minglang said to Linghu Ling.
"We are already having a hard time dealing with the Red Sky Beast. This Thunder Lord Dragon is even stronger than the Red Sky Beast," Linghu Ling said.
The Thunder Lord Dragon's strength was extremely terrifying. It should be the ruler of this sky and altitude. It would not be easy to take down the Thunder Lord Dragon.
"I have done some research. I know the habits of the Thunder Lord Dragon, its nest, and how it hunts," Zhu Minglang's eyes glowed.
In Linghu Ling's eyes, this gaze was no different from that of an old fox. She suddenly noticed something, and seriously examined Zhu Minglang. She felt that Zhu Minglang was not surprised by the sudden appearance of the Thunder Lord Dragon.
"You know how the Thunder Lord Dragon hunts, so the situation just now …" Linghu Ling was very smart. She immediately realized that the situation was not as simple as it seemed.
"Oh, okay. I admit it. I purposely lured this Thunder Lord Dragon here," Zhu Minglang laid his cards on the table.
"You!!" Linghu Ling's beautiful eyes were filled with anger.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry. You saw the situation just now. Even if we did our best, the chances of the Red Sky Beast escaping are still very high. After all, its ability is a little special. It belongs to the type that is not easy to hunt. Therefore, I was thinking whether or not we could use the Red Sky Beast to fish out the Thunder Lord Dragon," Zhu Minglang said.
"You actually used the prey that I set my eyes on as bait!!" Linghu Ling was very angry. This guy was indeed a cunning big tailed wolf!
"You can't trap the wolf without risking the child. One Red Sky Beast is not enough for the three of us. If we want to continue to lead the highest echelon with the other gods, we can't be too careful. We have to play a big game!" Zhu Minglang said.
"So, you suddenly stopped being alone because you want to use the prey that we set our eyes on as bait?" Linghu Ling said.
"The meaning is the same, but you can say that I made a plan to hunt the Dragon God. However, I can't do it alone, so I'm asking you to help me complete it …" Zhu Minglang said.
"Let me ask you a question. When you were dealing with the Chief Dragon Divine Tree, did you also use something to lure the Thunder Lord Dragon?" Linghu Ling asked.
"The Thunder Lord Dragon doesn't seem to like vegetarians …" Zhu Minglang scratched his head and answered truthfully.
"You are simply … treacherous!" Linghu Ling thought for a while and finally came up with a word to describe Zhu Minglang.
"I only use treachery against my enemies, never against my allies. Miss, you may be angry, but have you ever thought that if we really took down the Thunder Lord Dragon, it would be one of the top gods in the Sky Supporting Peak. Whether it would become a righteous god or not, its cultivation would definitely improve by leaps and bounds in the future. It might even reach a height that some lesser gods would have to look up to, "Zhu Minglang patiently explained to Linghu Ling.
Linghu Ling was not a pedantic person.
Zhu Minglang's prey was the Thunder Lord Dragon. Linghu Ling did not even dare to think about it before. After all, with the Thunder Lord Dragon's strength, even if Linghu Ling's cultivation had improved, she would still have to avoid it.
"Since we are working together, I hope you won't lie to us in the future!" Linghu Ling snorted coldly.
She had accepted it, but she was still angry.
What right did Zhu Minglang have to use his own prey as bait? He felt like he had been tricked!
If not for the fact that this guy had some ability in the Chosen of Gods, Linghu Ling would not have wanted to work together with such a cunning guy.
"Don't worry, I, Zhu Minglang, would never use underhanded methods against my friends," Zhu Minglang emphasized again with a gentle smile on his face.
… …
After returning to the mountain peak, Linghu Ling was still angry. She went to a quiet place to rest.
With the big green tree on his back, Wu Xiao ran up with an ashamed look on his face.
"It's my fault, I was too careless. I will use the fruits to repay your losses this time. However, it will take a few more days for my companion tree to bear fruits," Wu Xiao said.
Zhu Minglang was just about to explain the matter to him, but seeing Wu Xiao's sincerity, he showed some magnanimity and said, "It's fine, it's fine. Let's rest for a while and take down the Thunder Lord Dragon. Then, we won't lose anything."
"That's reasonable!" Wu Xiao's eyes immediately regained their luster. He looked eager to try.
Zhu Minglang patted Wu Xiao's shoulder and did not say anything else. He went to Bai Qi and fell asleep comfortably on the white dragon's tassel-like fur.
Bai Qi curled up its dragon body into a big round bed. Normally, it would transform into a mini white dragon and lie on Zhu Minglang's body, sleeping like a little white pig. It was time for it to return to normal.
Wu Xiao was also very tired. He planted his Companion Tree on the ground and then leaned against the tree and fell asleep.
Not long after she closed her eyes, Wu Xiao opened her eyes again. She looked at her cold and hard companion tree, and then at the noble, silver-white, and soft companion white dragon. There was some hidden bitterness in her eyes.
They were both Gods, so why was there such a huge difference in their attitudes?
"This guy looks cunning and sinister on the surface, but he's actually not a bad guy. If I were working with my fellow disciples at the Immortal Cloud Hall, I would have been scolded and kicked out of the team if I made a small mistake," Wu Xiao thought.
