Chapter 824

Bu Fang and Nethery looked straight .

The air surrounding them had such thick energy that it was almost materialized into drops of liquid .

Bu Fang raised his hand and touched the hovering dew in the air . Immediately, they dispersed, turning back into thick spirit energy and scattering .

Taking in a gentle breath, the faint smell of medicinal herbs flooded their stomachs .

This place was like an herb garden, but it wasn’t actually like an herb garden . Because, compared to the neat and standardized herb garden, this place was utterly disordered .

This place was indeed where the Yellow Spring Grass grew . Blades of grass were everywhere in this riverbank . Their leaves slowly swayed, shook, and even waved .

“Move forward . We need to find a one leaf Yellow Spring Grass near the source of the river,” said Bu Fang . Then, he strode forward .

Nethery was a little bewildered as she didn’t think that the Yellow Spring Grass here didn’t meet Bu Fang’s requirement .

Looking at Bu Fang, who was pacing ahead of her, Nethery felt helpless as she followed him .

The two of them marched along the riverbank, heading to the deeper area .

All of a sudden, their ears were filled with a piercing and rumbling noise . A moment later, a torrential steam slapped their faces .

The two of them were standing on a hill . On their left, the Yellow Spring River’s waver surged . The blood water continually seethed, rolling upward from the foot of the hill, becoming a waterfall from the endless source of the river .

The grumbling noise was actually caused by the Yellow Spring River’s water flying up from the river pond .

However, it wouldn’t catch Bu Fang’s and Nethery’s eyes with only that . Mainly, there were so many types of spirit herbs growing downhill .

The thick scent of medicinal spirit herbs permeated, rolling and invading the air .

That area had the Yellow Spring Grass and many types of magical spirit herbs . Some even had flowers, whose pollen grains fluttered in the air . Some had newly bloomed flowers and buds, while others had dangling threads with so many fulgent spirit fruits .

The area was packed with colorful spirit herbs, which had mesmerized Bu Fang and Nethery .

However, they didn’t dare to act rashly . In the center of the blood water river pond sat a spirit beast as big as a small mountain .

It seemed to be a giant lizard-dragon spirit beast with horns on the head and a gruesome appearance . It was crouching, sleeping, each breath of it stirring the blood water ponds .

That giant dragon had a blood-hued skin, and the light reflected on its shining blood scales could make people shudder .

The water pond gurgled, boiling . Some transparent resentful souls were wandering above the water surface .

“This… This place is the Yellow Spring River’s source, isn’t it?” asked Bu Fang .

“No… The Yellow Spring River’s source is right in that blood pond, under that blood dragon’s butt . That blood dragon… isn’t something we can provoke . We just need to pick a one-leaf Yellow Spring Grass then we’ll run away . I hope that big fellow won’t wake up . I didn’t expect to see the Blood Illuminating Dragon here, right at the entrance to the Yellow Spring River’s source,” said Nethery with an emotionless face and cold eyes .

After a moment’s pause, she added, “The Blood Illuminating Dragon… is a genuine ancient spirit beast at the same level of existence as a pureblood Taotie…”

Bu Fang shivered inwardly . A beast with the same level as a pureblood Taotie was really imposing and awesome .

Bu Fang raked his eye across the area . As soon as he saw a one-leaf Yellow Spring Grass, he would take it and immediately run away .

However, after his eyes scanned the place, he was surprised as he realized that while this valley had many Yellow Spring Grass, the one-leaf grass was extremely rare .

Bu Fang searched for a long time . Finally, his keen eyes spotted a waving, lively one-leaf Yellow Spring Grass in the gap between the rocks under the Blood Illuminating Dragon’s butt .

However, Nethery thought that Bu Fang was insane .

Once that Blood Illuminating Dragon was awakened, Bu Fang would be in fatal danger . With the Blood Illuminating Dragon’s power, it could swallow him within one bite, leaving nothing behind .

However, when Bu Fang wanted to do something, he would do it immediately . And so, Bu Fang took a step forward and fell freely from the cliff .

His figure dashed toward that area .

The moment he was about to touch the ground, the tip of his foot dipped once, then his entire body sprang, making a beautiful curve before landing on the ground .

The waving spirit herbs around him released a spirit energy that made Bu Fang’s heart restless . Those spirit herbs had high values in the Hidden Dragon Continent .

Anyway, Bu Fang’s target was a one-leaf Yellow Spring Grass . No matter how attractive the other herbs were, he wouldn’t be distracted .

He flipped his Vermillion Robe . The robe flipped once, fluttering .

Bu Fang’s body moved agilely and swiftly like a lightning strike, charging toward that one-leaf Yellow Spring Grass .

Boom! Boom!

The Blood Illuminating Dragon was really massive . As he had just observed the beast at a height in front of the valley, without comparing it to any object, Bu Fang thought it wasn’t really big . However, now that he was near, Bu Fang lifted his head and felt like facing an enormous, imposing mountain .

The Blood Illuminating Dragon laid on its belly . Its mouth partly opened, letting sticky saliva trickle down . As the Blood Illuminating Dragon breathed, it would cause strong gusts of wind, which Bu Fang couldn’t even stand firm against .

However, Bu Fang’s body swayed for a while, then darted toward the Blood Illuminating Dragon’s belly . A moment later, he saw his target—a one-leaf Yellow Spring Grass .

That Yellow Spring Grass was growing in difficulty between the rocks . Without keen observation, it wouldn’t be discovered .

Bu Fang walked carefully, his face expressionless .

On the hill, Nethery held her breath . She was so afraid that Bu Fang would wake up the Blood Illuminating Dragon . If that were to happen, they would become that Blood Illuminating Dragon’s turd, which would fertilize the spirit herbs in this entire valley .

As soon as Bu Fang picked that one-leaf Yellow Spring Grass, the immense spirit energy slapped his face .

Bu Fang didn’t hesitate . His hand flipped, and the Yellow Spring Grass was collected .

All of a sudden…

The moment he put the Yellow Spring Grass away, the giant body of the Blood Illuminating Dragon slightly moved .

That slight movement shook the entire ground .

Anyway, lucky for him, the Blood Illuminating Dragon had just rolled a little and continued to snore .

Bu Fang slowly crawled away from underneath the Blood Illuminating Dragon’s belly, dashing back to Nethery .

“Let’s go… We should leave,” said Bu Fang .

Looking at Owner Bu’s face, which didn’t seem to have changed, Nethery couldn’t hide her surprise . This Owner Bu’s frame of mind was really good .

Facing the Blood Illuminating Dragon, he showed no fear .

Before Bu Fang and Nethery left the hill, the former eyed the Blood Illuminating Dragon a little more .

That giant-headed beast was a divine beast . He wondered how its meat would taste like . If he got a chance, he would love to try it .

The two of them left the area, sprinting away .

They didn’t dare to delay because Bu Fang didn’t know how long his Blood Marble Wok Fish could last .

When the two reached the entrance, they gawked .

Because, further away from them, the two Stone Statue Ghost Kings looked so damaged . Their stone bodies had so many cracks .

They were shakily standing, their scarlet eyes gazing at each other .

The Blood Marble Wok had only one piece of fish, which looked so soft and wet, making people drool .

It looked like those two had fought for that last piece of fish meat .

One of the Stone Statue Ghost Kings decided to play rock-paper-scissors to decide, but the other wasn’t happy since he had lost all the games . He hadn’t had a chance to eat a piece of fish meat .

Looking at the other Stone Statue Ghost King with his oily mouth, he was so indignant .

It was the last piece of fish meat . That Stone Statue Ghost King thought that he would go insane if he lost another game .

Thus, he didn’t agree to play another rock-paper-scissors game . He took action directly .

The two Stone Statue Ghost Kings went at each other again . The surroundings were broken, looking like ruins .

Only the Blood Marble Wok Fish was intact .

Bu Fang and Nethery gawked and dropped their jaws . They didn’t know what had happened .

How did the two Stone Statue Ghost Kings become so damaged?

The two Stone Statue Ghost Kings were rolling their eyes and showing their fangs . Then, they raised their tridents, attacking each other .

Crackle! Crackle!

The two were pierced through . Broken, they collapsed into piles of stones on the ground .

However, the Stone Statue Ghost Kings’ souls floated up and continued their fight . Eventually, they tore each other apart .

Seeing things happened in a flash, Bu Fang was dumbstruck .

“Run!” Nethery’s eyes shrank, yelling .

Her body accelerated instantly . In just a wink, she zoomed toward a far distance .

Roar!

A thundering dragon roar echoed, which seemed to reach the entire Earth Prison of the Netherworld . Even the ground was shaking .

Terrifying gusts of winds arose . The stones were shot, and spirit herbs were destroyed .

At the other end of the hill, a giant, blood-colored creature flew up, soaring into the sky because of the two broken Stone Statue Ghost Kings .

Bu Fang and Nethery’s faces changed instantly .

They didn’t think that they would have taken the leaf smoothly, but the two dumb Stone Statue Ghost Kings killing each other because of a dish… had awakened the sleeping Blood Illuminating Dragon .

It wasn’t easy to deal with that Blood Illuminating Dragon!

The yellow eyes that were like the big lanterns locked onto Bu Fang and Nethery . Its mouth opened, roaring and hissing!

“Intruders… Die!”

The massive wings flapped once, and the air roared and shattered . A moment later, the Blood Illuminating Dragon’s body soared, heading straight toward Bu Fang and Nethery .

…

Meanwhile, in a majestic white palace that was completely made from real white bones, a spooky sound reverberated deeply . The bones still had some flames dancing inside .

Inside the great hall, at the center, Lord Dog was chatting with someone covered in immense blood mist .

Suddenly, Lord Dog’s brows twitched once .

The Yellow Spring Great Sage, who was sitting on the throne, was also shaken . A moment later, he was enraged .

“Lord Dog… I’m glad that you came back . I wish to talk to you more, but, unfortunately… some people don’t have eyes . They have provoked the Blood Illuminating Dragon I placed at the river source of the Yellow Spring River… I need to go there now,” said the Yellow Spring Great Sage .

However, a moment later, Lord Dog also stood up . His fat body shook .

Lord Dog wore an awkward face, slightly raising his snout toward the Yellow Spring Great Sage . His raised his paw, tearing the void, and left in an instant .

The Yellow Spring Great Sage was bewildered, seeing Lord Dog leaving without a word .

A moment later, the blood mist surged .

“That damn mangy dog! He plotted against me! I’m pissed off!”

It seemed like he understood something . His thundering voice echoed from the white bone palace .

…

Facing the Blood Illuminating Dragon’s terrifying pressure, Bu Fang eventually chose to summon Nether King Er Ha .

His hand shook once, and the Spicy Strip flew into the sky .

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Yellow Spring River…

Nether King Er Ha’s nose wrinkled . His teeth cut through the Spicy Strip in his mouth, his eyes lighting up!

“Spicy Strips! A Spicy Strip is calling His Highness!”

A moment later, he soared up into the sky, flying fast toward the Yellow Spring River . After reaching it, he stepped and glided over like a dragonfly flying above the water surface, heading to the other side .

He was running toward his beloved Spicy Strips!
