NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 2 - The benefactor saved me！
Chapter 2: The benefactor saved me！
The dragon before Bai Yu had undergone a spiritual journey, evolving from a snake to a dragon. It had practised in this river for centuries and sought to transform by bathing in thunder. Revealing itself to mortals, it hoped to establish a revered reputation. If someone addressed it as a ‘dragon,’ it would fulfil its purpose. However, calling it a ‘big snake’ would be disastrous, potentially ruining centuries of diligent cultivation in an instant.
……
[Horned Viper and Dragon Seeking Recognition].
[Please choose:].
[1. Seal the dragon, get rewards: the blood of the dragon snake, call the dragon bell].
[2. Seal the snake, be cursed].
Is this thing a reincarnation cheat code? How did I get here?
A picture of a hundred beasts suddenly appeared in his mind, accompanied by a few hints. Looking at the reminder in front of him, Bai Yu secretly sighed.
Reborn for sixteen years, Bai Yu always thought this was an ordinary ancient world. Now, with cheats and monsters, he’s a bit slow to react. Materialistic war god’s heart shattered, and after a brief brain shut down, he somewhat accepted reality.
What if he calls it a ‘big earthworm’? Rebellious thoughts were not uttered.
Bai Yu looked up, seeking recognition from the dragon, covering the sky with extraordinary power, silently waiting for judgment.
He smiled and said, “The surging divine waters stir up the heavens. I am a dragon immortal, spreading clouds and bestowing blessings.”
Speaking nonsense, he said, “What a big dragon!”
The words turned into golden runes, flowing into the dragon’s body.
“Roar!” The dragon trembled, roaring loudly.
Divine light scattered, power swept the sky, scales shining with golden light.
“Boom, boom, boom!” Thunder emerged, brewing in dark clouds.
Bai Yu stared at the changes, forgetting the divine blood and the ancient bell.
“Thank you, benefactor!” A grateful voice sounded.
With a human-like look of gratitude, the dragon shot three spars around Bai Yu. Invisible waves formed a protective shield, enclosing Bai Yu.
“Don’t leave, Your Grace, to avoid harm.” After saying this, the dragon soared into the thunderous clouds.
“Boom, boom, boom!” The storm unleashed as if to destroy everything.
Cultivation defies nature and the world tests existence. Before achieving great things, one must undergo life-threatening dangers to transform and ascend. Waves of thunder dried up rivers, ploughed the land, cut through mountains and ridges, destroying everything in its path.
However, it didn’t harm Bai Yu within the protective shield. Even the little donkey was frightened and urinated on the ground. The terrifying thunder dissipated instantly upon reaching the protective shield.
Bai Yu was quite scared, but having been reborn once, he was more carefree. He looked at the dome where the dragon should have faced its tribulation, finding it more spectacular than the sci-fi effects in his previous life.
Observing the crystals emitting faint light around him with interest, he couldn’t help but exclaim, “Good treasures!”
The crystal-formed formation protected him in the centre, shielding him from the thunder. Although curious, Bai Yu didn’t dare to touch them. Instead, he looked at the two things in his palm.
[Blood of Dragon Snake]: Genius and Earthly Treasure, unblock the tendons and cut the marrow, strengthen the body, endow the dragon snake with great power, invulnerable to swords and guns, and invulnerable to evil.
[Calling the Dragon Bell]: The magic weapon, the bell, and the dragon gods of the world and the earth are called by me. The wind and rain will not invade, the thunder and lightning will not disturb, and no one in the world will dare to violate the order.
“Well, your own is the best.”
“It’s also a good baby~.”
The introduction of these two gadgets emerged in his mind. Bai Yu couldn’t help but feel emotional, slightly shaking the little bell. At the same time, the tribulation the dragon faced under the thunder in the dome was gradually ending. At this moment, the seemingly endless thunder seemed to destroy everything, falling mercilessly on the dragon.
Once majestic black scales were blasted to pieces, the colossal body, which covered the sky and sun, bore numerous cracks, emitting a burnt smell, while the river below turned red with blood. It looked utterly miserable. Feeling the accumulated terrifying power in the dome, Long Zhi was somewhat helpless.
Initially, she thought she could cross the calamity forcefully with her powerful cultivation and body.
But… who is this scholar’s benefactor?
Seeing his extraordinary nature, she was a bit greedy and wanted to ask for a reward.
This is too much!
What on earth is this Nine-Layered Purple Thunder?
Would the current emperor subject her to such a terrifying calamity for a reward? While a stronger calamity usually meant more benefits after passing through it, the prerequisite was that she must survive it!
Money is only useful when you’re alive!
She had saved Dragon Essence Profound Stones to face the calamity but had to use them to protect Bai Yu, relying solely on her physical body to endure.
Now… she could barely hold on.
Enough is enough. It’s a matter of timing and fate, she sighed secretly.
“Ringling~.”
However, at this moment, a crisp bell suddenly rang in her ears. Her body shook, feeling a sudden clarity in her spiritual platform, energy surging, and her injuries seemed to improve.
The vertical pupil suddenly contracted, turning around abruptly, focusing on the tiny figure in the scorched earth below.
Regardless of her pride, she shouted loudly, “Grandfather, save me!!!!”
Bai Yu:?
