Strange Forest (3)

The dragon soared into the sky, its Dragon Roar shaking the heavens and could be heard from a great distance.

Fanxin and Wang Yan were rushing towards where Fanxin and the others were when they suddenly heard Dragon Roar. They looked up at the sky, and after a moment, their expressions changed.

"This is a real dragon? My God, there's actually a real dragon in the world! Wasn't it just something from legends?" Wang Yan exclaimed in surprise.

She had heard of real dragons before, but had never seen one. She thought it was just something people made up out of hearsay. But now she knew it wasn't made up, it was real. It was just that people hadn't seen one for a long time, so they thought it was just a legend.

"Hehe, there's no smoke without fire. The legend probably has some basis!" Fanxin shook his head and said, "Forget it, whether it's a real dragon or a fake one, let's go find someone first!"

"I'm afraid we have no choice but to intervene," Wang Yan suddenly said.

"What do you mean?" Fan Fanxin asked, puzzled.

"I sensed the aura of Bingfeng. She seems to be using her abilities now. I think she must have been attacked," Wang Yan said, looking at the five-clawed golden dragon circling in the sky.

"You mean, the attacker was that dragon?" Fanxin asked, taken aback.

"That's right, I think so," Wang Yan said. "We've been together all the time, so we're very sensitive to each other's movements. For Bingfeng to be so serious, I think the opponent is definitely not weak. And now, a golden dragon has appeared in the sky; I think there must be a connection between the two."

"Oh, in that case, let's just fly over there!" Fanxin exclaimed immediately upon hearing this.

Previously, they hadn't gone straight there because the vines were too in the way. So, they had to walk slowly, burning the vines to prevent future trouble. Now that they knew their target and sensed the danger posed by the Bingfeng, they naturally couldn't dawdle.

With that, he immediately put on his Flight Armor, then put his arm around Wang Yan's slender waist, and prepared to fly into the sky.

However, just as they were about to take action, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them.

It was a child, about seven years old, fair-skinned, wearing a small outfit, with his hair parted in the side, and wearing sunglasses, looking quite cool.

After he came out, he looked at Fanxin and Ren Fang and said, "I'll take you there! It'll only take a short while."

"Hmm, you were the one who ambushed us earlier, weren't you?" Fanxin guessed.

"Yes, but I had no choice. Two years ago, when I was passing through here, I was caught by that Arlong. Although it didn't kill me, it made me find food for it. For the sake of my life, I had no choice but to do so," the child said. "I captured you before so that you could be food for the Arlong."

"Oh, what happened to them? Were they eaten by the Arlong?" Fanxin asked, his face full of displeasure. If Ren Fang and the others were dead, he wouldn't mind killing this little brat, because it was this little guy who had killed them.

"No, they're all alright," the child said. "A woman, a cat, and a wolf went into a space. The remaining woman, who can use ice powers, is fighting the Arlong."

"Oh, that's good." Hearing this, Fanxin breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the child with suspicion and asked, "Why did you help us? You're not planning to do something behind our backs, are you?"

He thought it was possible; after all, this little guy was on the Arlong's side, and it was entirely possible he could launch a sneak attack on them.

"Of course not! The Arlong is enraged now and will definitely kill me for my incompetence! All I want to do right now is escape. However, it has placed a curse on me, preventing me from escaping. I can only gain my freedom after it dies. And you all seem quite strong now, so..." the child chuckled and said.

"Oh, you want us to be your henchmen, right!" Fanxin said with a smile.

"It's not really cooperation, it's more like a collaboration," the little boy said with an awkward smile.

"Fine, I can't be bothered arguing with you. Just take us there! But let me tell you, you better not try anything funny, or I'll spank your ass." Fanxin said viciously.

He didn't have time to argue with the little kid right now, because Bingfeng seemed to be in big trouble. However, he would definitely settle the score with the little guy later.

"Absolutely not." The little boy nodded. Then, with a wave of his hand, two vines burst forth from his palm, binding Fanxin and Wang Yan.

A moment later, the little child headed towards the center of the island.

He seemed to be able to move among the trees, and no one knew what kind of ability that was. You couldn't see him at all; you could only see the trees moving.

The children were indeed very fast; in just over a minute, they reached the center of the island and saw the Ice and Snow World landscape.

"Alright, I wish you all the best! I'm going to hide now." The child seemed terrified of the Arlong and disappeared in a flash.

Fanxin ignored the other party and shouted towards the center of the Ice and Snow World, "Bingfeng, come out, we've arrived."

After Fanxin called out twice, Bingfeng emerged from the Ice and Snow World. She quickly came to Fanxin's side and stood on the same side as Fanxin and Wang Yan.

"Are they alright?" Fanxin asked.

"It's nothing, just a bit of numbness. They're resting in Wolf Valley now," Bingfeng said, handing Wolf Valley over to Fanxin.

After Fanxin received it, he placed it inside the Wind and Sand Tower.

"You fought the Arlong, how was it? How strong was it?" Fanxin asked.

"It's very strong; I'm no match for it," Bingfeng said. "It's gone high in the sky now; it seems to be about to unleash a powerful attack. We must be careful."

"Okay, let's fight it together, the three of us!" Fanxin glanced at the sky and said.

"Well, but I have one request," Bingfeng said, looking at Fanxin.

"What?" Fanxin asked curiously.

"I want its physical body," Bingfeng said.

"Oh, its physical body is quite nice!" Fanxin asked, "But the physical body I'm looking for for you is made of diamond. Aren't you going to consider it?"

The Giant Dragon told him that the Diamond King had many descendants. Therefore, it would be perfectly fine to give two of them to Wang Yan and Bingfeng as physical bodies. While the Diamond King's descendants couldn't compare to him, their physical bodies would certainly not be inferior.

"I want this golden dragon, I don't want the diamond body," Bingfeng said stubbornly. "I've heard a legend that the ultimate evolution of a snake is to become a dragon. It's probably impossible for me to become a dragon, because I don't know what conditions are required. However, I can possess the golden dragon's body, and in that way, I will become a dragon in another way."

"Hehe, it seems you have a special fondness for dragons. Alright! Then beat it half to death, and then you can possess its body!" Fanxin nodded and said, "At that time, I will provide you with a vast amount of Soul Power to help you become a dragon."

"Thank you." Bingfeng nodded happily.

"Let's go!" Fanxin nodded and said, "I'll go up to the sky to fight him and pull him down. You guys stay down here and prepare for the battle."

Wang Yan and Bingfeng nodded. Then, the two of them entered the Ice and Snow World together.

Fanxin quickly flew into the sky and arrived next to the golden Giant Dragon.

"Hey, Xiaojin, I need to talk to you about something. Can you help me?" Fanxin said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the five-clawed golden dragon was so angry its nose almost twisted. It was many times larger than Fanxin, yet Fanxin dared to call it Xiaojin —wasn't that an insult?

"Damn it, you're asking for death!" The five-clawed golden dragon roared angrily, spitting out a mouthful of dragon fire at Fanxin.

Fanxin Xin immediately created a tornado for defense. Then, he quickly rushed towards the five-clawed golden dragon.

He approached the five-clawed golden dragon, grabbed its tail, and held on tightly. This enraged the dragon, which thrashed its tail, trying to shake off its Fanxin.

However, Fanxin had anticipated this, so he took out the laser gun the Little Black Cat had given him and fired several shots at the golden dragon's tail, creating a large, bloody hole in it.

Then, he put away his Flight Armor and invaded the golden dragon's flesh and blood with his soul.

With overwhelming force, he seized the golden dragon's tail, devouring the soul within it completely. Thus, the golden dragon had no way to escape unless it cut off its own tail.

However, after Fanxin seized the golden dragon's tail, he immediately hid and did not make any further moves.

He wanted to strike by surprise, because only in this way could he defeat Jinlong. Now, Jinlong was riding high, and if he went head-to-head with him, he would definitely lose.

The golden dragon glanced at its tail and noticed that Fanxin was gone, which puzzled it greatly.

It pondered for a moment, assuming that Fanxin was frightened and had run away. So, it didn't pay much attention. It immediately swooped down and attacked Bingfeng and Wang Yan.

It came to a point ten meters above the ground, then spewed a mouthful of dragon fire at the ground. Moments later, a huge fireball fell from the sky and landed on the ground.

The fire quickly spread in all directions, and in no time, the center of the forest was completely burned to the ground.

On the ground, Wang Yan and Bingfeng worked together to block the Arlong's attack. Although the flames burned fiercely, they did not harm them.

Enraged that its attack had failed, the Arlong continued to spew dragon fire, intending to burn Wang Yan and Bingfeng alive.

However, the result was the same. Wang Yan and Bingfeng stood on the ground unharmed, and the raging fire around them could not harm a single hair on their heads.

"I'm so angry! I'm so angry!" The Arlong roared to the sky in a fit of rage.

"Hmph, so your strength is nothing special. If you're so capable, come down and fight. If you weren't high in the sky, we would have wiped you out long ago," Wang Yan said sarcastically.

She was using reverse psychology, trying to force the Arlong to come down. The Arlong was flying high in the sky, and they indeed had no way to hurt it. However, they couldn't afford to be undefended, because the Arlong's attacks were very powerful.

If they hadn't been defending with all their might, they wouldn't have been able to withstand the Arlong's repeated attacks.

However, simply defending themselves wouldn't be enough to defeat the Arlong. Therefore, they had to fight the Arlong; only in this way could they defeat Arlong.

"Hmph, trying to trick me into coming down? No way." The Arlong was cautious and didn't listen to Wang Yan's words. It was worried that Wang Yan was playing a trick. It kept launching attacks from high in the sky, but refused to get close to Wang Yan and Bingfeng, which made Wang Yan and Bingfeng very frustrated.

"Where is Fanxin? Where did she go?" Wang Yan looked around but couldn't find any trace of Fanxin.

"I don't know, they're probably making preparations. We just need to persevere for a while, and we should be fine," Bingfeng said.

"Fine!" Wang Yan glared angrily at the Arlong flying around and said fiercely, "Once I catch it, I'm going to give it a good beating. How dare it trick me! It's absolutely unforgivable."

"Me too," Bingfeng added.

In the sky, the Arlong leisurely launched its attack on the ground. It was not in a hurry, as it was observing the abilities of Bingfeng and Wang Yan. Although it was evil, it was not arrogant and was very cautious. It would not easily risk its life before understanding the abilities and strength of its opponents.

The reason it fought so fiercely against the Bingfeng was because it knew of the Bingfeng's abilities. It could manipulate water, so it was not afraid of the Bingfeng's abilities.

However, Wang Yan's arrival has made it more cautious, as Wang Yan's abilities seem to be even more powerful than its dragon flames.

Its dragon flame is fire, but Wang Yan's power is that even fire can burn magma. Therefore, it has to be careful; if it gets entangled in magma, it will be in trouble.

"Damn it, I didn't realize we had to drag this Arlong down." Inside the Arlong's tail, Fanxin pondered for a moment before taking action.

He gradually took over the Arlong's body, preparing to control it. Once he controlled the Arlong would be no longer a threat. Even if it wanted to unleash powerful attacks on Wang Yan and Bingfeng, with him interfering, it wouldn't be able to unleash its full potential.

He did it very subtly, so the Arlong didn't notice. He was only controlling the Arlong's tail for now, which wasn't enough. He needed to control half of the Arlong's body so that he could influence Arlong.

Time passed quickly, and an hour went by in no time.

Just when everyone was getting incredibly impatient, Fanxin finally gained control of half of the Arlong's body.

Fanxin Xin chuckled and decided not to wait any longer. He immediately took control of the Arlong's hindquarters and dragged Arlong underground.

The Arlong was startled and struggled fiercely. However, Fanxin unleashed a tornado and Fist of Wind and Sand at the Arlong's head, leaving the Arlong dizzy and disoriented.

Taking advantage of the Arlong's momentary lapse in judgment, the Fanxin pulled with all his might, dragging the Arlong to the ground.

"Launch the attack, quickly!" Fanxin shouted to Wang Yan and Bingfeng.

Upon hearing this, Wang Yan and Bingfeng immediately took action; they couldn't wait any longer.
