Chapter 134 - Stealing the Divine Spring, Pulling a Fast One on the Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon
At a glance, all they saw was a vast expanse of white.
The undulating peaks were where Mount Kosciuszko was located.
Ling Jiu was a little anxious as he looked forward to meeting the Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon again.
He was definitely no match for the Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon. However, he was confident about stealing the Divine Spring of Life under its nose, and it would not be able to do anything about it.
He sped all the way there. Just as they were about to reach the valley, he asked Ling'er and Yuhe to stay behind and wait while he ventured into the valley alone.
Atop the snow-capped mountains, where bone-chilling icy winds blew, a valley in spring lay quietly. It was the place where the Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon lurked.
"Here it is!"
Ling Jiu hid in the dimension and moved to the airspace above the Divine Spring of Life.
He reached out to scoop a handful of spring water and drank it. Surging Gene Arcana suddenly exploded within him, and the pores all over his body opened.
"I knew it! This is liquified Gene Arcana!"
Ling Jiu was delighted. He took out a Dimensional Pocket and drained the water from the spring.
A whirlpool appeared out of thin air in the Divine Spring, continuously swallowing the spring water. This sudden movement inevitably alarmed the Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon.
There was an earth-shattering roar as the 100-meter Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon rushed out of the cave beside the spring.
"It's coming!"
Ling Jiu's body trembled slightly as an instinctive fear rose within him. "I'm hiding in the dimension right now. It won't see me. Yeah, it can't find me!" he comforted himself.
The Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon moved so quickly that it arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye. Ling Jiu resisted the urge to flee and squatted motionless on the spot.
Sure enough, the Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon did not attack but stare at the Divine Spring of Life in shock and suspicion.
Did it mishear it?
Ling Jiu held his breath and looked at the Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon closed by. He could feel the Direbeast's terrifying aura and powerful strength.
Those hideous scales...
The horn on its head...
The claws under its belly...
Its three ferocious heads...
Its fiery breath...
In terms of looks and manners alone, the Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon was a notch higher than the Celestial Magical Cat. He could not imagine that these two completely different creatures were of the same Direbeast class.
The Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon stared at Divine Spring for a long time. After detecting no movement, it left with doubts hanging over its head.
"It can't see me!"
Ling Jiu chuckled. "This Dimensional Arcana really does come in handy. But I have to finish this quickly!"
He moved to the bottom of the Divine Spring and created a huge dimensional tunnel. The spring water poured through the tunnel, like water breaking through an embankment, as he directed it all into his Dimensional Pocket.
The noise once again alarmed the Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon. It roared incessantly especially when it saw the rapidly dwindling Divine Spring of Life.
Three pairs of enormous eyes scanned the surroundings, looking for the thief who had stolen the Divine Spring of Life, yet the dragon found nothing.
No matter how hard it tried, it still could not locate the thief.
The Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon was as helpless as it was shocked, desperate, and furious. It could only watch the Divine Spring reduce little by little and finally dry up completely.
The Direbeast went mad and erupted in continuous roars.
Its hatred toward the thief had reached an unprecedented level at that moment.
It would surely torture the thief and shred his body into pieces to express its hatred if it found the thief.
This beast has gone mad!
Ling Jiu had drained all the water from the Divine Spring of Life. He looked at the red-eyed Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon and quietly had a good laugh. I've stolen your spring water as a punishment for pursuing me and stirring up a beast tide.
I wonder if my Dimensional Arcana can restrain the Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon.
A thought occurred to him, and he immediately froze the dimensional points around the Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon. The freezing of the dimensional points meant that this dimension had been locked down.
Sure enough, the Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon was immediately restrained in place.
The Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon quickly realized this. It quickly fought back and broke free from the Dimensional Shackle instantly.
This Class 8 Direbeast is too strong! But...
Ling Jiu sighed quietly as he released a Dimensional Field that covered a radius of 500 meters, enveloping the Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon instantly.
"Dimensional Shackle!" Ling Jiu shouted under his breath.
However, it was stuck like a bison in a quagmire this time, unable to break free at all. It continued to struggle for three or four seconds before it broke free from the Dimensional Shackle at last.
Ling Jiu was pleased despite failing to restrain the Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon.
"The fact that I could subdue it for three or four seconds is good enough, considering the Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon is a Class 8 Direbeast."
Three or four seconds mattered a lot in a duel between masters.
"I'll try again."
Ling Jiu took out a piece of silver metal and formed a sharp, long sword.
"Dimensional Shackle!"
The move confined the Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon in place.
"Die!"
Ling Jiu was not sure if he could pierce through the Direbeast with a sword, so he attacked the most fragile part: the eyes.
His decision did not disappoint. The long sword instantly penetrated the eye of the Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon, but that was all.
The muscles behind the eye were extremely compact and tough, preventing the long sword from going deeper into the head.
"Tungsten Form!"
Ling Jiu knew he had little time on his hands. He cast Tungsten Form with no hesitation and hit the hilt of the long sword with a punch that took all his strength.
The punch hit the long sword like a hammer, nailing the sword a little deeper into the eye.
Unfortunately, that was as far as it could go before it got stuck again.
"It's not working! The muscles of the Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon are too tough. It's too difficult to kill it!"
He wanted to pull out the long sword and retreat, but the long sword was stuck in the dragon's eyes. At the same time, the Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon had broken free from the Dimensional Shackle.
"I can't get it out!"
Ling Jiu quickly hid within the dimension again.
The Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon looked into the sky and roared. Then it grabbed the long sword with its claws, pulled it out of its eyes, and flung the sword into the mountain wall.
Ling Jiu ran toward the mountain wall and took out the long sword before he fled with his tail between his legs. The Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon had gone berserk, so he figured it best to run.
He flew as quickly and far as he could until he could no longer hear the roar of the Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon. He then breathed a sigh of relief.
"The Dimension Arcana works great. It can even give a terrifying being like the Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon a hard time."
