Chapter 229: Chapter 152: The 'Abnormality' Gathering Around Xue Jing, The Locals Are Too Impolite (4K)
"This Dragon Breed, it has Divinity?"
Surprised, Xue Jing released the grip on the Flying Dragon's tail, his eyes reflecting deep thought.
His grip was simply too strong; the Flying Dragon's tail had been crushed to the point of splitting skin and rupturing scales, with flesh bulging out from both sides, its bones shattered.
"Dragon Breed and Vomitus Beast, do they have anything in common?"
Xue Jing crouched down, pulling the Flying Dragon out of the pit.
He walked from its tail to its head, examining it closely.
The already dead Flying Dragon, its tongue sticking out to the left side of its mouth, both eyes having burst out of the sockets from the force of the impact, now displayed only two bloody holes.
"According to Renea's statement, all dragons within this Intersecting Boundaries are 'Dragon God's' offspring..."
"That being the case, one possibility is that creatures of the Intersecting Boundaries with Dragon God's lineage would contain Divinity within them?"
"If so, maybe the Vomitus Beast's body also possesses the Dragon God's bloodline?"
Xue Jing stroked his chin, musing.
"Let's just assume so for now..."
"In that case, another question arises."
"This Pureblood Dragon Species, according to the speculation on White Crow's side, is the 'Core Creature' of the Roaring Waterfall."
"Then, does it possess Divinity because 'Pureblood Dragon Species inherently possess Divinity', or is it because 'it's a Core Creature that it has Divinity'?"
"That remains unconfirmable for now..."
"In any case,"
Xue Jing glanced at the Flying Dragon on the ground.
"First, kill all the Dragon Breed within this Intersecting Boundaries then talk."
...
Outside.
Back at the camp, the three members of the Xuren Squad along with Doctor Shen were gathered inside a tent.
"...So that's the situation."
Xuren whispered to the silver bracelet glowing on her wrist.
"Understood."
From the bracelet came Wu Youqing's emotionless, ethereal voice.
After a moment of silence, she continued:
"And you, White Crow, supposed to specialize in handling anomalies of Intersecting Boundaries, are also too amateurish. Not even prepared with 'Mirror Film', have you not considered the possibility of being reflected by GOD-005? Why gamble with luck."
Despite the clear criticism, Wu Youqing's voice remained eerily calm as usual, sending a chill through everyone present.
Xuren thought it over but didn't voice the retort that setting up 'Mirror Film' over several dozen kilometers was cumbersome and expensive, certainly out of their budget, usually reserved for only certain A-level or higher Intersecting Boundaries for consistent coverage.
She was well aware that Miss Wu Da was not oblivious to these difficulties but rather was slightly emotional about them having endangered Xue Jing.
The words of blame were merely a way to vent those emotions, and it was best to bear them in silence.
After all, what happened was purely accidental, who could have foreseen that the 'Mirror World' would choose such a coincidental moment, reflecting and merging exactly as Xue Jing entered the Intersecting Boundaries?
With Miss Wu Da's intelligence and levelheadedness, she obviously understood this fact as well.
As Xuren predicted, Wu Youqing did not pursue further blame but instead, after another moment of silence, said:
"Xue Jing is a man destined to attract trouble... Only those with 'True Sight Vision' can see the extraordinarily complex 'anomalies' clustering around him, like a vast source of light, drawing all manner of 'insects' towards him."
"This incident probably unfolded similarly, it's not your fault."
Upon hearing her words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The thought of incurring Miss Wu Da's wrath over this incident was too dreadful for them to even contemplate.
Xuren whispered, "What should we do now, Miss Wu?"
"I do not believe that a mere Pureblood Dragon Species could stop Xue Jing in his tracks," Wu Youqing said, "but he must at least be made aware of the current situation."
A mere Pureblood Dragon Species...
The Mountain Demon beside her twitched at the corner of its mouth upon hearing this.
Only Miss Wu Da would say something like that...
Even a juvenile Pureblood Dragon Breed would require at least three White Crow Squads, after thorough preparation, to have a fair chance of handling such a super-level creature.
No matter how powerful Xue Jing was, he couldn't possibly win against such a creature, Miss Wu Da's confidence in him seemed overly sufficient...
"What do we do now?" Xuren asked.
Wu Youqing replied indifferently, "Since it is a Divine Relic, we shall counter with another Divine Relic."
"Come to Qingcheng immediately."
...
Within the 'Roaring Waterfall,' deep in a certain forest.
Xue Jing had cleared a space and gathered some wood to start a campfire with his lighter.
"I've heard Dragon Breed materials are very valuable."
At the moment, Xue Jing, his Crouching Rabbit Sword drawn, was scraping scales off a large piece of Flying Dragon meat.
This was the tail meat of that Flying Dragon.
"Dragon meat is a delicacy only available at high-class restaurants in the Inner Ring, it's a rare opportunity and must be savored."
Xue Jing made a scrapping noise as he worked on the scales.
The fine, pale yellow dragon scales were being cleanly shaved off under his expert Sword Skills and the sharp edge of the Crouching Rabbit Sword.
"Yo-ho, my knife work is top-notch."
Xue Jing, looking at the scaleless piece of tail meat with its skin slightly wrinkled, nodded in satisfaction.
He reached out and touched the bone on the cut surface of the tail meat, his fingertip igniting with Dark Flame.
After using Shadow Flame to annihilate the bones and blood inside into nothingness, Xue Jing beckoned to the crow beside him. He took out various seasonings from the large backpack it held and began to marinate the dragon meat.
