Chapter 101: Hunting Game (Part 2)
This old dragon is the same. Due to the transformation of the spring water, its body has been permanently solidified into a human being. Even if it transforms into a dragon using transformation magic, because its true form is human, when the time comes, it will still revert back to its "true form".
"I'm only asking you one thing, with your current transformation technique, can you transform into a dragon? Even if it's just for a short while." The penguin was completely unfazed by the old dragon's anger.
"Alright." The dragon tribe leader suppressed his anger: "But only for a short while, time is very brief!"
"That's easy." The penguin let out a sigh of relief.
Similarly being morphologically solidified, the dragon tribe leader can still transform from human form to dragon form, that's because its transformation technique has been trained to the top level.
However, Gege Wu can only maintain the mouse form. At most, there is a change in body size, but it is impossible to transform back into a human being, even if it's just for a short while. This is because Gege Wu's transformation technique training level is far lower than that of Lao Long.
"Our method is very simple," said the penguin, "You transform back into a dragon body and then drink some of that permanent solidification potion. Your true form will change from human to dragon body again! Isn't this okay?"
The old dragon was stunned.
For so many years, it has been searching for a way to break this puzzle, but its powerful magical strength has restricted its thinking to how to use the strong magic of the Fire Book City's exclusive first release method to break this magic pattern. It has been searching for that kind of spring water antidote... This is also one of the important reasons why it has repeatedly sneaked into the human world to travel.
But the penguin came up with this idea, although simple, it jumped out of its fixed thinking mode, so it was clever but never thought about it in this way before.
Drink that spring water again?
Just like when you eat something and get poisoned, would you still want to eat that thing again? Of course not!
The dragon tribe's leader was stunned for a long time, its face changing several times, and finally suddenly let out a long roar! The whistle was filled with excitement and excitement, and there was a hint of unwillingness.
"How can this be!" Old Dragon got excited and suddenly stared at the penguin: "But what is that spring water after all? Where can I find that kind of spring water?"
Du Wei's heart skipped a beat. He quickly said: "I can give you that spring water!"
He worried that the penguin would mention the valley in the frozen forest - for some reason, Du Wei didn't want the dragon clan to know that something existed in that valley!
Things got a lot simpler after that. Du Wei had brought along quite a bit of spring water... Of course not just the Spring of Eternal Youth, but also that "River of Time".
Many bottles were stored in his luggage, fortunately, when Lao Long used magic to cut through his clothes earlier, he didn't damage the luggage.
Du Wei opened a bottle under the eyelid of the old dragon - when taking out things, Du Wei's heart had moved: what if it wasn't the Spring of Eternal Youth that he took out now, but that "Time Flows Away", and tricked this old dragon into drinking it... would he be able to successfully kill it?
Du Wei absolutely believed that the passage of time could kill the old dragon! Because this is a temporal poison, it is absolutely impossible to save.
However, Du Wei still gave up on this plan. The success rate of killing the old dragon was very high, as long as he could trick him into drinking the Time Flows Away, even if it was just a small mouthful.
But... after killing it, what a huge trouble!
And not to mention the dragon tribe's patriarch being killed, it would probably bring about a great disaster. If the entire dragon tribe were to take revenge, that would be an absolute catastrophe. Moreover, if this powerful old dragon were to discover its own deception when on the verge of death, relying on its strength, it might even be able to take down Du Wei in its final struggle.
Let's not make things more complicated than they already are.
Du Wei sighed and honestly took out a small bottle of "Eternal Youth" spring water: "It's this one. After you transform into a dragon body, drinking it should work."
Du Wei looked at the spring water with a pang of heartache, after all, the amount he had on him was limited, and giving some to the dragon tribe's leader meant he had less in his hands... but for now, to save his life, he didn't care about that, anyway, next time he had the chance, he could go back to the canyon to get some more.
The deal is done, the Dragon Clan leader waved his hand and shouted: "Now, you can leave!"
"Wait." The penguin reminded Du Wei: "There's something that has been locked in this stone coffin for a long time, and it belongs to my previous master."
Fortunately, this old dragon was ferocious but indeed a man of his word, standing aside with a cold eye, allowing Du Wei to take out the things in the stone coffin one by one.
These things are very messy, some chaotic jars and boxes. There are also a few tattered pieces that seem to be fabric, and even a strange bundle of cloth.
Fortunately, this penguin seemed to be very familiar with these things, and under its guidance, Du Wei only discovered that this cloth bag actually had the same function as the one in the hands of the exclusive first-release master of the old magic lamp fire book city: it was endless! Even if all the things here were stuffed in, it seemed that they couldn't fill it up.
Not having time to check, Du Wei hastily stuffed everything in, including the water bottles tied to his body, and threw them all in. If it weren't for Penguin's strong opposition, Du Wei even wanted to throw it into the cloth bag together.
Finally, after solving all the problems, Du Wei shouldered his backpack and looked at the old dragon. The old dragon hummed: "Is that alright? Then you can leave now!"
After finishing speaking, it raised its hand and lightly pointed to the rock behind the secret room. The rock immediately dissolved automatically, like snow on the ground melting under the sunlight, revealing a large cave, which was the entrance that Du Wei had entered from earlier.
"Remember, from now on, run with all your might! Two days later, I will set out from here to chase you!" As soon as the dragon tribe leader finished speaking, he lightly tapped the hourglass beside him. The hourglass immediately emitted a faint sound of sand, and the fine grains of sand inside began to slowly trickle down...
"Hurry! We must hurry!" Du Wei anxiously shouted loudly at the penguin beside him, "Can't you run any faster?"
The penguin said calmly: "I am an elegant animal, even when I'm running, I can't give up my demeanor." As he spoke, he gently twisted his hips and his short legs tapped out a rhythm...
Du Wei couldn't bear it anymore, he grabbed the penguin's feathers on its back and put it on his own shoulder, ignoring the penguin's sharp cries, and quickly ran towards the outside of the cave...
This goddamn sacred mountain has too many caves! It's like a labyrinth, fortunately Du Wei's memory is super strong, he barely remembered the way in, turning left and right, finally managed to escape from the sacred mountain. When he came out, he passed by that guy who claims to be the "first wise man of the dragon tribe", it was still lying there, its huge claws swiping back and forth on the ground, as if it was still thinking about the weird math problem Du Wei gave it...
He ran out of the Divine Mountain in one breath, but was met with the old magician and Hussein standing at the entrance of the Dragon Clan's cave on the ground of the Divine Mountain.
Du Wei ran breathlessly and saw them from afar, unable to help but urge: "How come you've only walked this far! Hurry up, run faster!"
The old magician saw Du Wei come out, his eyes revealed a surprise, and he stopped Du Wei in one go, excitedly shouting: "The thing in the secret room..."
"I've got them! I've got them all!" Du Weifei replied quickly.
However, everyone saw the big penguin on Du Wei's shoulder and couldn't help but be stunned. Du Wei sighed, at this moment there was really no time to explain: "Alright! There is no time for questions now! Alright, these are my companions, mages, knights, a mouse, a snake! And this... is the pet Aragon left me - a penguin!"
The old magician and Hussein were both flabbergasted: "What is a penguin... an ugly bird?"
"Penguins immediately protested: 'I am not an ugly bird! I am a penguin! Penguin! The most elegant animal in the world!'"
"Alright! This isn't the time for arguing, if you don't shut up, then wait to be caught by the dragon tribe as dinner! Wait till they roast you well, and see how elegant you are!" Du Wei slapped the penguin heavily.
"Does it speak?" The old wizard's face changed: "A bird that can speak... Is this the divine beast left by Aragorn in the prophecy?" As he spoke, his attitude and tone became much more respectful.
Divine Beast?
Du Wei is now fed up with the name "Divine Beast", and immediately shouted: "What the hell Divine Beast! From now on it's my pet, you... uh, you can call it QO!"
Others have not spoken yet, but the penguin has already objected: "QO, my name! I don't want it! I am an elegant animal and should have an elegant name to match..."
"Down the mountain! That old dragon promised to give us two days to escape! If there's a problem, we can ask on the way, but now it's urgent to save our lives!" Du Wei shouted loudly, stopping his companions from asking more questions. However, just as Hussein was about to head down the mountain road, Du Wei blocked him: "Hey! Are you crazy? Taking the mountain road? It took us two whole days to climb up the mountain! Are we going to take the same route down? That old dragon said that within two days, no dragon from the dragon tribe is allowed to lay a hand on us! Of course, we're flying down! If we just rely on walking down the mountain road, by the time we reach the bottom, one day will have already passed!"
Then the old magician cast a wind magic flight technique, and everyone was like pulling a sugar gourd string, with the old magician flying at the top, then Hussein holding the magician's leg, Duwei holding Hussein's leg, Medusa holding Duwei's leg, as for Gege witch still drilling into Duwei's arms, while new member QO
A flock of geese, such a long string of people in the sky, flying desperately towards the south, towards the forgotten icy tundra...
They have only two days left.
