"Oh my, your man is so impressive!"
Originally, the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff had already planted one paw on Zi JI's back.
Never mind killing this female dragon outright.
At the very least, he could have bitten off a few chunks of dragon meat.
But after hearing Di Tian's furious roar,
he immediately felt a pressing sense of danger, as though thorns were pricking his back.
That was the Beast God!
He had to leave quickly before Di Tian arrived.
Otherwise, once Di Tian set his sights on him,
there was absolutely no way he would leave alive.
"You little bastard, don't you dare run!"
"I'm going to skin you and tear out your tendons!"
Despite being completely suppressed by her opponent,
and even sensing the danger of death,
the pride of the dragon race meant this woman never knew how to bow her head.
But suddenly, that pressure was gone.
Even the strange bloody stench emanating from that lion-dog had vanished!
"What?"
"You damned mutt, you actually ran away!"
By the time the Abyssal Demon Dragon climbed back to her feet, there was no sign of the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff behind her.
That fellow was like a golden phantom, arriving quickly and leaving even faster.
"Zi JI!"
"Are you all right?"
The next moment, Di Tian's voice exploded through the air.
Then, a man over two meters tall with a pair of black wings descended from the sky.
He landed directly beside his injured companion.
At nearly the same time,
the female dragon lying on the ground also transformed into a beautiful, regal woman wearing a long purple gown.
However, this regal beauty was in rather miserable condition right now.
Three long scratches ran across her snow-white back, blood flowing from them.
Even her clothing had been torn apart by the claws.
If someone unaware of the situation saw her,
they might have thought this young woman had been violated by someone...
"Where is that damned bastard? I'm going to kill him!"
Seeing his wife in such a miserable state,
Di Tian could not help but fly into a rage.
When he had previously heard that the Dark-Gold Dreadclaw Bear was trying to capture a golden soul beast,
Di Tian had not taken it seriously.
He had assumed that little thief would soon be killed.
But he had never expected that fellow to set his sights on Di Tian's wife today.
Wasn't that the same as pulling a tiger's tail?
"He got away, that damned little bastard!"
"He even said he was going to eat me!"
Recalling the words of that golden beast just now,
Zi JI finally felt lingering fear.
Then, like a wronged young girl, she buried her head in her husband's chest.
But this also interfered with Di Tian's divine senses!
"Husband, let me take a look at Sister Zi JI's injuries!"
The next moment, a gentle voice rang out.
A beautiful woman in green descended from the sky.
She was the Emerald Swan.
The strongest healing-type soul beast!
She was also Di Tian's other companion.
"Bi Ji, you're here!"
"Quick, look at Zi JI's wounds!"
"All right, I'll take a look first."
After Bi Ji landed, she did not waste any more words.
She quickly walked over to Zi JI.
When she saw the wounds on Zi JI's back, she could not help frowning.
"She's badly hurt."
"Three claw marks, and a powerful metal-element force remains within the wounds."
Bi Ji extended her slender hand.
Green light immediately poured from her palm.
That light was exceptionally gentle.
Unlike Di Tian and Zi JI, whose Soul Power was always overwhelming.
Instead, it was like sunlight in a forest.
Warm.
Comfortable.
As the green light covered Zi JI's wounds,
the blood that had been continuously seeping out immediately stopped.
"Hiss..."
Zi JI could not help drawing in a sharp breath.
"What's wrong?"
Di Tian immediately became nervous.
"It's nothing."
Zi JI gritted her teeth.
"It's just that this metal-element force is rather troublesome."
"It's still inside my flesh and blood."
"It's preventing the wounds from healing."
Bi Ji nodded.
"I can see that."
As she spoke,
Bi Ji also looked somewhat puzzled.
"Strange..."
"What kind of soul beast could actually injure your dragon scales?"
Zi JI's face darkened.
"It was that golden-furred lion-dog!"
"It's only sixty thousand years old!"
"Sixty thousand years?"
Bi Ji's movements visibly paused.
Even Di Tian beside her had a darker look in his eyes.
Sixty thousand years?
And it could injure Zi JI?
This was no ordinary case of challenging above one's level.
It completely defied common sense.
"It's very fast."
Zi JI said through gritted teeth.
"And it's incredibly strong."
"The worst part is its claws."
"My dragon scales couldn't stop them!"
Bi Ji did not continue questioning her.
Because she was more concerned with Zi JI's injuries right now.
As the green light steadily intensified,
streams of gentle life energy began entering Zi JI's body.
The metal-element force lingering in her flesh and blood was also forced out bit by bit.
"Sizzle..."
Threads of golden energy escaped from the wounds.
They eventually dissipated into the air.
Meanwhile, those three terrifying wounds began healing rapidly.
Only a moment passed.
The wounds that had been a bloody mess were already scabbing over.
Then the scabs fell away.
In the end, not even a scar remained.
"It's done."
Bi Ji withdrew her hand.
"She's fine now."
Meanwhile,
the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff had already run at least twenty kilometers.
Only when even his keen sense of smell could no longer detect Di Tian's scent did he slowly stop.
"Damn! That mouthful of dragon blood was way too dangerous. Looks like I'll have to be more careful from now on!"
"I've already been marked by several great fierce beasts. I need to increase my strength quickly!"
Although he had drunk a mouthful of dragon blood,
compared to what he had expended earlier, he had still come out at a loss.
"Grrr!"
Sure enough, the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff was hungry again.
But perhaps fate favored him.
Very soon, another foul stench entered his nose!
It seemed to be coming from beneath a pond not far ahead.
How should he describe that smell?
It was unlike fish, but not a mammal either.
It was somewhat like the smell of a snake or a lizard in a zoo.
"Splash!"
Perhaps noticing the gaze of this ferocious beast,
a piece of "wood" that had been floating above the pond suddenly moved.
Then, a scaled tail emerged from the surface.
"What is that?"
"A leather shoe?"
Seeing this scene, the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff suddenly thought of a game called Earth Online.
There was an especially bizarre Uncle Crocodile in it.
No matter how times changed, Uncle Crocodile could always hide himself perfectly.
"Interesting!"
"Looks like I'm not very welcome!"
"Are you coming out yourself, or should I give you a hand?"
"Huff, huff... How did that Dragon Flame go again?"
Although he was not good at swimming,
the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff had already come up with a new idea.
During his escape,
the dragon blood had gradually fused with his body.
It had developed some incredible abilities.
For example, Dragon Flame.
Although he could not spew Hellfire like Scarlet King,
the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff now possessed the ability to breathe fire over short to medium distances.
Driving a crocodile out of a pond was still something he could do!
