Time flies, and three days have passed in a flash.
After three days of recuperation and healing, Xiao Chen's injuries have improved a lot, and he will be almost fully recovered in another six or seven days.
And in these three days, through persistent cultivation, Bai He's strength has also made considerable progress.
On this Wild Island, the concentration of spiritual energy far exceeds that of the Nine Provinces, so the primitive forest is full of medicinal materials such as ginseng, Lingzhi, and He Shou Wu, all of which are very old, almost spiritual medicines, and have amazing effects!
In addition, Xiao Chen would also go out from time to time to hunt fierce beasts such as Saber-Toothed Tigers. The flesh and blood of these fierce beasts contained extremely rich life essence, so Bai He's strength has been advancing by leaps and bounds in the past few days.
Although there is still no major change in appearance, and he is still as delicate and thin as before, in fact, Bai He's strength at this time has surpassed Tie Shan, the leader of the hunters on Black Mountain.
The reason why he still looks thin is only because the muscles Bai He has trained are streamlined like a cheetah, instead of being bulging piece by piece like those bodybuilders, so it is not obvious.
In the evening, the firelight flickered in the forest.
Beside a small lake like a sapphire, a huge leaf was spread on the ground, with many fresh fruits on it, and several coconut shells were placed on the fire, with transparent milky white thick soup bubbling inside.
Bai He held a few bamboo skewers in his hand, skewering pieces of animal meat with moderate fat and lean, and roasting them on the fire until they were crispy and golden. Transparent oil dripped into the fire, making a "sizzle..." sound.
On the horizon, the red sun was setting in the west, and the sunset glow had gradually disappeared.
Night fell, but the movement on the beach not only did not stop, but became louder and louder.
From dusk today, the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon has been roaring on the beach for some reason. Until now, it has even let out deafening roars, which shook the blue sea and trembled the trees, making it look terrifying.
Until the stars twinkled in the night sky, the voice of the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon still did not stop, and it was still roaring constantly, which was very different from usual.
After the two finished dinner, Xiao Chen listened to the unusual movement of the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon on the beach, and couldn't help but feel very surprised. After some consideration, he prepared to go to the beach to check the situation.
"Bai He, you just wait for me here, I'll go see what's going on!"
Xiao Chen thought for a while, but still couldn't restrain his curiosity, so after pondering for a moment, he said to Bai He.
Bai He naturally knew what the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon on the beach was doing, but he couldn't say it, so he replied calmly.
"Then go ahead, Master, I'll just wait for you here!"
Xiao Chen nodded, stood up, and then turned and plunged into a dense forest. This was a new road to the beach that the two had discovered in the past few days. Since it did not need to pass through the territories of those fierce beasts, the time required to reach the beach was greatly shortened.
Under Xiao Chen's full speed, he arrived at the beach in just over half an hour.
The roar of the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon was even louder.
The fifty-meter-long Eight-Armed Evil Dragon was shining with silver light all over its body, like a silver mountain range. In addition, the sharp horn, the inverted bone spurs on its back, and the eight giant claws shining with cold light made it look so ferocious and terrifying.
At this moment, the deafening roar finally gradually subsided. The ancient beast seemed to have struggled violently on this beach, causing potholes everywhere on the beach, and even huge and terrifying deep gullies appeared in one place.
Xiao Chen's eyes were deeply attracted.
On the beach next to the Evil Dragon, holy rays of light flickered constantly. Upon closer inspection, it could be found that they were actually two dragon eggs as big as millstones. The eggshells of the dragon eggs were crystal clear as jade, like top-quality mutton fat white jade carvings, emitting a bright glow.
The ancient Evil Dragon actually laid eggs!
The Eight-Armed Evil Dragon dug a big pit on the beach and carefully buried the two dragon eggs in it.
After laying the dragon eggs, it was already late at night, the roar of the Evil Dragon finally disappeared, and the seaside began to calm down.
The sky was full of stars, shining brightly.
Xiao Chen returned to his lakeside residence with complicated feelings. Bai He 'curiously' inquired about the situation, only to be 'astonished' to learn that the ferocious beast, the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon, was laying eggs!
Dawn, the rising sun.
Anxious to check the situation on the beach, Xiao Chen woke up very early.
When Bai He had just gotten up, Xiao Chen had already packed up and prepared to leave.
After saying to Bai He, "I'm going to check the situation on the beach," Xiao Chen plunged into the dense forest and disappeared before Bai He's eyes.
On the beach.
The ancient ferocious beast, the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon, had been gone for a long time. Xiao Chen carefully dug open the large pit on the beach, and immediately two millstone-sized dragon eggs emerged.
The eggshells were crystal clear, like mutton-fat white jade carvings, shimmering with a mystical silver light.
Dragon eggs had always only appeared in legends.
But now, they were truly presented before Xiao Chen's eyes.
Xiao Chen slapped and cracked open one of the jade-like dragon eggs. The silver radiance inside was dazzling, but due to the cracks on the eggshell, the egg white quickly flowed all over the ground, revealing the core silver "yolk," which shimmered with light and was actually a miniature evil dragon with bared fangs and brandished claws!
Without any hesitation, Xiao Chen instantly swallowed the silver light into his stomach. Instantly, Xiao Chen's expression became ferocious. The dragon egg laid by an ancient ferocious beast contained unimaginable powerful life energy, and its innate life essence was incomparably abundant, something ordinary people simply couldn't withstand!
Under the impact of the dragon egg essence in his body, Xiao Chen felt as if his body was about to shatter, and his soul and body seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
But at this moment, the Heavenly Gifted Qi Refining Diagram incantation in Xiao Chen's body began to operate on its own. The dragon shadow in his body was being slowly refined. Finally, the silver evil dragon in his body disappeared, turning into a silver speck as small as a grain of rice, immersed in the "Shangqiu Acupoint" on his left foot.
Xiao Chen opened his eyes, lost in thought.
It was already approaching noon. Looking at the other crystal-clear dragon egg in the pit, Xiao Chen pondered for a moment, preparing to pick it up, but after thinking about it, he gave up.
He didn't know how powerful the legendary Eight-Armed Evil Dragon was. If it could track this dragon egg, it would be over, so it was better to leave it here.
But looking at the jade-like dragon egg, a thought inexplicably arose in Xiao Chen's heart.
If he had to say what could best nourish the body and accumulate essence, he felt that nothing could compare to the evil dragon egg in front of him.
Although his newly accepted disciple was extraordinarily talented, entering the ranks was, after all, a gradual process. In a short period of time, wanting to have enough strength to protect himself on the island was still a luxury, unless he could find a supreme spiritual object with vast life essence to nourish himself.
This made him couldn't help but pay attention to the dragon egg in front of him. The Heavenly Tablet Mystic Skill could refine the dragon egg's vast essence. If Bai He refined it, it might greatly shorten the time it would take for Bai He to refine True Qi and reach the entry level.
But he didn't know when the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon would return, so he had to act quickly, Xiao Chen thought.
Covering the dragon egg with sand again, Xiao Chen hurried back to his residence.
At this time, Bai He had just finished eating and was practicing his skills. Seeing the hastily arriving Xiao Chen, Bai He didn't even have time to ask anything before Xiao Chen pulled him away.
Xiao Chen circulated the True Qi in his body and began to speed through the forest with Bai He. Half an hour later, they reached the seaside.
On the golden beach, Xiao Chen once again dug open the pit containing the dragon egg, revealing the jade-like dragon egg inside.
"Now I will crack the dragon egg, you quickly step forward to catch the essence of the dragon egg, and then use the Heavenly Tablet Mystic Skill I taught you to refine it. Whether you can reach the sky in one step depends on this time!"
Xiao Chen raised the millstone-sized dragon egg in his hand and said to Bai He in a deep voice.
"Yes! I understand, Master!"
Bai He's expression was complicated, and his tone was very heavy.
He naturally knew the dangers of refining a dragon egg, even Xiao Chen had almost failed, but time waits for no one! The enemy was coming soon, and he had to seize every opportunity to become stronger. Moreover, the dragon egg could be said to be the most precious thing on Dragon Island, and he was unwilling to give it up.
Xiao Chen channeled his energy and waved his palm, and with a crisp "crack," a large crack appeared on the jade-like eggshell.
Seeing Xiao Chen crack the dragon egg, Bai He quickly stepped forward to catch the overflowing essence of the dragon egg. However, because the cracks on the dragon egg were uneven, the egg white still flowed all over the ground, revealing the most core silver "yolk" inside. Light flowed on it, shining brightly, and a dragon shadow loomed.
"This is the essence of the Dragon Origin, quickly catch it!"
Seeing Bai He staring blankly at the silver light in the dragon egg, Xiao Chen quickly urged him.
Hearing his master Xiao Chen's urging, Bai He gritted his teeth and swallowed the silver dragon shadow into his stomach.
In an instant, Bai He felt as if his soul was about to burn. A surging vitality of life violently impacted his body, and his body seemed to be torn apart by the impact of the massive vitality.
Feeling the intense pain in his body, Bai He quickly began to practice the Heavenly Gifted Qi Refining Diagram from the Heavenly Tablet Mystic Skill.
The massive life essence began to be slowly refined under the effect of the Heavenly Tablet Mystic Skill. Silver light lingered around Bai He's body, as if a silver fire person was dancing on the beach. Under the endless life essence, Bai He's body began to become almost transparent. Vaguely, one could see a silver evil dragon twisting and brandishing its claws in Bai He's body.
Just then, a voice suddenly sounded in Bai He's mind, it was the system!
"Detecting a special soul entering the host's body, the system is starting to capture..."
As the system's voice sounded in his mind, the silver flames on Bai He's body surface suddenly began to flicker, and the silver dragon shadow in his body began to dim and distort, as if struggling desperately.
Immediately afterward, layers upon layers of silver scales began to grow crazily on Bai He's body for no reason. The cold, gleaming silver scales appeared and disappeared with the flickering of the flames.
And abnormalities also began to appear in Bai He's body. Only the sound of "creak, creak..." could be heard constantly from between Bai He's bones, as if they were growing out of place. The height of the whole person was crazily increasing, and finally reached Xiao Chen's height, increasing by a full ten centimeters, almost close to one meter nine.
Seeing that his disciple Bai He was clearly different from him, Xiao Chen quickly stepped forward to input the True Qi in his body into Bai He's body, preparing to help Bai He refine the dragon egg essence in his body.
But when Xiao Chen's True Qi entered Bai He's body, it disappeared instantly like a clay ox entering the sea. After Xiao Chen persisted for a while and found it was useless, he couldn't help but withdraw his hand.
You can only rely on yourself!
Looking at Bai He, who was struggling in pain, Xiao Chen sighed. In this situation, he couldn't help at all.
As time passed, the silver flames on Bai He's body surface finally began to dim, and the silver-white scales that were constantly growing on his body no longer appeared, but what replaced them was an Eight-Armed Evil Dragon tattoo with bared fangs and brandished claws.
The Eight-Armed Evil Dragon's ferocious dragon head was in front of Bai He's chest and abdomen, its cold silver eyes staring straight ahead, while its eight arms and claws were distributed between its ribs. Its strong body and slender, powerful tail extended from its shoulders to its back. The entire Eight-Armed Evil Dragon seemed to grow on his skin as if it were real, and its baleful aura was pressing.
"Could it be the legendary Divine Beast Possession?"
Looking at the lifelike and baleful Eight-Armed Evil Dragon on Bai He's body, Xiao Chen couldn't help but think of the ancient legends of Divine Beast Possession, and couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"Ding! The special soul in the host's body has been captured. After system detection, it is the soul of the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon, with amazing potential! Due to the lack of a part of the host's True Soul, the system autonomously completes the host's True Soul. After the system completion, the soul of the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon has been transformed into the host's Companion Dragon Soul."
In his mind, the system's voice sounded.
As the system's prompt sounded in his mind, Bai He's body finally stopped changing, but at this time Bai He's image had changed greatly!
Under the effect of the massive Dragon Origin contained in the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon's dragon egg, Bai He's original black hair and eyebrows had turned silver-white, and his pupils had also turned silver-white. The original delicate and handsome face, combined with the current silver hair and silver eyes, actually presented an unspeakable otherworldly beauty.
Bai He breathed a sigh of relief, sat weakly on the ground, thinking about what the system had said in his mind just now, scratched his head a little inexplicably, and grinned: "Companion Dragon Soul? What is that?"
Although Bai He was a little confused for a while, he could feel that his body was very different, far exceeding what it used to be!
Thinking about it, Bai He slowly closed his eyes and secretly sensed the difference in his body. As if sensing something, Bai He's heart moved, and he instantly activated the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon Companion Dragon Soul in his body.
Instantly, a layer of silver scales grew on Bai He's body surface, and sharp bone spurs slowly stretched out from between his bones, like spears and sharp swords, flashing with a cold light. Except for the lack of eight arms, an alligator tail, and a sharp horn on his forehead, Bai He's whole person seemed to have become a miniature version of a humanoid Eight-Armed Evil Dragon.
"Oh, so that's how it is!"
Bai He suddenly nodded as if he had just realized something, then withdrew his thoughts. The silver scales on his body receded like a tide, and the bone spurs between his bones slowly retracted into his body with a "creak, creak..." sound. He actually had a power similar to Dragon Transformation!
Suddenly, a huge wave sound came from the sea, and bursts of dragon roars came from his ears.
Turning his head to look, he saw the red sun setting in the west, and the calm sea was actually divided into a waterway. The towering white waves rolled to both sides, and it was obvious that the ancient ferocious beast, the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon, was breaking through the waves.
Looking at the shocking scene in front of him, before Bai He could recover, his master Xiao Chen, who was standing beside him, quickly pulled Bai He over, and the two instantly burrowed into the dense jungle, and in the blink of an eye, they had escaped far into the primeval forest area.
"Roar!..."
Before long, they heard a deafening roar of anger coming from behind them. The sound shattered rocks and split metal, piercing straight into the sky, like thunder. The Evil Dragon had returned!
