X-Dragon Era

Inside Death Sand Valley, Sandfire Dragons were everywhere. If they were to just rush in like that, it would certainly be suicidal. Within a few seconds, over a thousand Sandfire Dragons would surround them. With the current state of Xin Yun and Yi Luo Xiang, death was inevitable.

The attack method of the Sandfire Dragons was very peculiar—fireballs that contained sand. Although the dragons at the mouth of the valley were only Bronze One Star Sandfire Dragons, they could still spew out fireballs the size of a bowl with a range of a kilometer. A thousand Sandfire Dragons firing simultaneously could completely blockade an area.

With Xin Yun's current proficiency and Yinglong's enormous size, there was simply no way to dodge.

"Behave, listen to me... Hurry over here." As Xin Yun was secretly observing the situation inside Sand Valley, Yi Luo Xiang's voice gently rang out.

Stumbling suddenly, Xin Yun couldn't help but give a wry smile. Was this really possible? Could it be... this was how Yi Luo Xiang trained in her previous life? That would be too exaggerated.

Shaking his head, Xin Yun said, "Alright, we should split up now. Be careful, and prioritize your safety."

"Mhm..." Yi Luo Xiang nodded her head. Without summoning her own dragon, she could still use all her abilities, but limited by the human body and lacking the dragon's enhancement, there was still a significant difference. With the strength of a Bronze rank, the power she could exert was too low to be considered significant. The Bronze One Star Sandfire Dragon was a case in point.

Yi Luo Xiang had been muttering for a long time now, but it hadn't felt a thing. It hadn't even bothered to glance in their direction.

Thousands of flowers bloomed, butterflies danced... Yi Luo Xiang stepped onto a light purple butterfly, exchanged a reluctant glance with Xin Yun, and then the butterfly's wings closed, vanishing in an instant. When it reappeared, it was about 20 meters to the left of Xin Yun, sticking very close.

Turning his head back, Xin Yun couldn't help but shout again, "Yi Luo... remember to prioritize safety above all else. As for what to do, it's not that I won't tell you, but you should experience it for yourself. After all... our dragons are different, our abilities differ, and our combat styles are entirely different. Everything depends on your own thoughts and understanding now."

Facing Xin Yun's shouting, Yi Luo Xiang nodded without saying a word. As a Bronze One Star, she could only send out one Soul Chain. Now... this Soul Chain needed to attract that Sandfire Dragon, so it was impossible to communicate through the soul.

Standing proudly on the butterfly, Yi Luo Xiang clasped her hands in front of her chest, her head slightly lowered, her eyes half-closed, standing there as if praying, focusing all her spirit, sending messages to that Bronze One Star Sandfire Dragon through the Soul Chain.

In an instant, Xin Yun clearly saw a bright purplish light emanating from Yi Luo Xiang's body, enveloping her completely. At the same time, the purple butterfly also seemed to brighten up, especially the club-shaped antennae, which lit up like light bulbs.

"Sssla..." In a faint sound that was almost negligible, two purple Soul Chains shot out simultaneously from the club-shaped antennae, converging in the middle of the butterfly's head, coalescing into one. Like a stroke of purple lightning, it shot towards that distant Bronze One Star Sandfire Dragon.

"Hulu..." Feeling waves of love-filled calls and the incredibly intimate pleas, the originally leisurely flying Sandfire Dragon suddenly let out a strange shout, violently turning its head and looking up towards the beautiful light purple butterfly in the sky.

"Behave, listen to me... Hurry over here." Muttering under her breath, Yi Luo Xiang sent her love-filled sincerity over.

"It's working!" Seeing this scene, Xin Yun excitedly clenched his fists and shouted out loud.

Indeed, under Xin Yun's watch, the Sandfire Dragon slowly turned around, flapping its wings diligently, flying out of Sand Valley, and heading towards their direction.

There wasn't much difference between wild dragons and those created with Dragon Creation Stones, the only difference possibly being intelligence. The intelligence of Sandfire Dragons was much stronger than Earth's wild animals, but there was no decisive gap.

Watching the Sandfire Dragon slowly fly out of Sand Valley, Xin Yun did not launch an attack. He shouted to Yi Luo Xiang, who stood 20 meters away, "Be careful. When this guy gets close, he will spray Sandfire Balls. Let's practice dodging."

Hearing Xin Yun's words, Yi Luo Xiang swallowed nervously, her eyes locked tightly on the gradually approaching Sandfire Dragon, ready to dodge the fireball it would shoot at any moment.

Under Xin Yun and Yi Luo Xiang's watchful eyes, the tiny Sandfire Dragon finally reached a point 1000 meters in front of the two. However, just as Xin Yun and Yi Luo tensed, ready to dodge the oncoming Sandfire Ball, the Sandfire Dragon did not attack but continued to flap its wings, flying their way.

"Huh?" Xin Yun watched the gradually approaching Sandfire Dragon with puzzlement brimming his mind. What was going on? Was this a disabled dragon that couldn't spit Sandfire Balls?

As Xin Yun silently speculated, Yi Luo Xiang's voice weakly rose, "Xin Yun... I'm not sure if it's just an illusion, but based on the information fed back through the Soul Chain, it seems like this little dragon holds no hostility towards me, instead... it actually feels quite affectionate."

Having said that, Yi Luo Xiang slightly paused, then resolutely added, "It seems like it considers me its mother. The emotions it's conveying, they feel just like the affections I have for my mom."

"What!" Xin Yun exclaimed in alarm upon hearing Yi Luo Xiang's words. Could it be Soul Control, or perhaps Soul Enslavement?

Hearing Xin Yun's exclamation, Yi Luo Xiang turned her head in confusion and asked, "What are you talking about? What is Soul Control, and what is Soul Enslavement?"

Faced with Yi Luo Xiang's questions, Xin Yun subconsciously explained, "These abilities should be something you will master in the future. Soul Control refers to the temporary mastery of a Wild Dragon to fight for you, while Soul Enslavement is about permanently controlling a Wild Dragon for battle! But these should be abilities of the Crystal and Amethyst grades!"

Lost in Xin Yun's words, Yi Luoxiang felt bewildered and said, "What are you talking about? What do you mean by abilities I will master in the future? Ah! Could it be..."

Cutting herself off mid-sentence, Yi Luo Xiang suddenly widened her eyes in surprise, delicate white hands lightly covering her mouth, staring at Xin Yun in disbelief. It took her a moment before she finally spoke, "I knew it, you either didn't know or simply refused to tell me."

At this moment... Xin Yun had fallen into deep thought, thus he didn't pay attention to Yi Luo Xiang's words, merely nodding inadvertently which further confirmed his reputation as all-knowing.

After a long moment of contemplation, at last... Xin Yun's head shot up, and he slapped his thigh, looking excitedly at the hammer-shaped antennae of the Flash Butterfly, shouting, "I've got it, I completely understand now. It must be those antennae!"

Having never used a Ninth Grade Dragon Creation Stone before, he wasn't clear about many things, but in this lifetime, firstly, Xin Yun's Yinglong grew a fifth claw, then Yi Luo Xiang's Flash Butterfly developed hammer-shaped antennae; this was enough to prove that the Ninth Grade Dragon Creation Stone indeed bestowed additional abilities upon dragons.

Xin Yun remembered clearly, in his previous life, Yi Luo Xiang's Flash Butterfly had rod-shaped antennae that curved along the wings to either side, which looked quite lovely. As Yi Luo Xiang's most loyal fan, Xin Yun could draw them from memory at any moment; the impression was too profound to ever be mistaken.

In this lifetime, however, the Flash Butterfly's rod-shaped antennae had changed. At the tips of the rod-shaped antennae, a pair of orbs had formed, creating hammer-shaped antennae. It was evident that this new pair of orb hammers was the ability added by the Ninth-Rank Dragon Creation Stone.

Actually, this conclusion was something Xin Yun had arrived at the very first moment he saw the Flash Butterfly, yet he had always been unclear about the function of these newly added orbs. Now it seemed that the orbs were likely enhancers, capable of amplifying Yi Luo Xiang's thoughts and projecting them outward. Find more to read at empire

Xin Yun quickly turned his head and loudly advised Yi Luo, "Be careful... Always be ready to teleport, and then give that little guy a command, see if it obeys."
