Maybe I'll just wait until this injury heals, and then go out and study it thoroughly. If that's really the case, then great! It means that after merging with my soul, I might actually be able to master the power of Dragon Roar.
Three days later, I felt fine again. But just as I was about to go out and have some fun, my head suddenly started itching all over, but now there's no mirror, they've all gone out hunting, and there's no way to ask.
I had no choice but to crawl out and find a water source, then I looked inside and found something strange. It seemed that another bump was growing on my head, this time only one, right in the middle, I don't know what's going on again.
Although it feels a bit numb and itchy, there's no other discomfort. With the immunity I had before, I'm not too concerned about this situation on my head now.
I don't want to go and collect other ferocious beasts now, after all, having this cave is better than anything else, and as long as I become stronger in the future, this island will naturally be mine.
After exercising for a while, I returned to the cave again. They also came back at this time. When they saw a small bulge on my head, they felt strange and kept circling around me to observe.
The giant crocodile lived for a long time. It said strangely: "I feel that the bulge on top of your head is not quite right!"
"What's wrong?" I heard it say so, and immediately asked if there was anything bad. Tuli Dongji.
It saw that I looked a bit nervous and said: "You don't have to be nervous, what's on your head isn't anything bad. If I'm not mistaken, this is the real horn you should have."
"Horns? Why did I grow horns?" I heard that I grew horns on my head. I'm also a bit puzzled, it's fine if the tentacles grew before, but why did they fall off and then horns came out?
The giant alligator shook its huge head and said, "I'm just guessing, if this is really a horn on your head, I believe you won't be able to hold on for long. You will definitely turn into a Jiao!"
"Am I going to turn into a Jiaolong? So you're saying that this thing on my head is the horn of a Jiaolong?" I heard that I was going to transform into a Jiaolong, and suddenly felt a thrill in my heart.
The giant alligator said, "Although we have lived for so long, we have never seen what a real Jiao looks like. We are just analyzing your current situation, otherwise how can this horn on your head be explained?"
As it says. It's really like that, because I saw the introduction of Jiao in books before, and heard that they will also grow a horn on their head, and the scales all over their body are very thick and large, and seem to have claws, but I looked at my own body, except for scales, nothing else, smooth and shiny, where did the claws come from?
I don't know if the giant alligator is telling the truth or not, maybe it's just something that grew like a tendril. But since it has grown anyway, let it be, whether it can become a jiao (a mythical creature) depends on luck.
At this time, the giant alligator let out a sigh and said: "I didn't expect that we've been here for so many years, and our strength has only increased by this much. How long have you been here? You've already evolved to this extent. I believe it won't be long before even we are no match for you. But that's good, the stronger you get, the happier I'll be. Only then will we have a chance to kill that Black Water Python."
Hearing him say that, I felt a lot more at ease. I was worried that if this guy saw me about to surpass them, he would turn around and kill me instead, which would be a big deal. Fortunately, it seemed that he still wanted to use me to help him kill the Black Water Python.
I said: "Don't worry, as long as I can really reach that level of power, I will definitely go and get rid of that Black Water Mystic Snake. It's just that I don't know if I can make it to that step."
At this time, the giant alligator said: "It must be possible. If you can really transform into a Jiao, your strength will be on the same level as it is. At that time, you will be able to transform ferocious beasts into demonic beasts."
"What's a yao beast?" I've never heard of it before. It seems that animals can actually transform from fierce beasts to yao beasts.
The giant alligator looked at me and said, "It's normal that you don't know this. I can tell you're not very old, so you probably haven't heard of it before. A demon beast is an even more powerful existence than a fierce beast!"
After listening to his explanation, I understood a bit more, but then I thought of the black water python and asked: "You said that the black water python has become a monster, so why do I still see it as a snake and not transform into a dragon?"
The giant alligator replied, "It has long been a demon beast. Although it didn't become a jiao, that's quite normal. Not every venomous snake can transform into a jiao. This still depends on the opportunity. If it didn't transform into a jiao, then it also doesn't have the possibility of transforming into a dragon. However, this doesn't affect its strength."
"Isn't it that if the crocodile doesn't transform, it won't become a dragon? But then again, it doesn't affect its strength? This explanation has left me even more confused!" Upon hearing the giant alligator's explanation, I was even more perplexed.
The giant crocodile said, "This is easy to explain. To become a dragon, you must first transform into a jiao, but after becoming a dragon, you will no longer be a creature of this level. However, before transforming into a dragon, even if you have transformed into a jiao, your strength will still be within this level. Therefore, whether the Black Water Mystic Snake transforms into a jiao or not, it will not affect its strength at this level."
Now that you mention it, I understand. It turns out that the transformation into a dragon is just a process, but the strength remains the same and is not affected by this process. So, although the Black Water Mystic Snake did not have the opportunity to transform into a dragon, its strength was still increasing, and only when it transforms into a dragon will it exceed this limit.
Getting this information makes my heart unquiet, if there really is such a day, I can transform snakes into pythons and become another level of monster, then I may really have the possibility to become a dragon. This was just my initial dream, didn't expect it would be possible now, this horn on my head is also my first step forward.
The guys next to me heard the news and rushed over to me with excitement, cheering and turning around. Huashe said: "Brother, hurry up and transform! If you become a Jiao, we'll follow you and be awesome!"
This guy is really a treasure, how can it be said that it changes as soon as it says it? If it's really like that, I won't use it to say it, just shake my body and change.
"Who would have thought that I really was on the right track with you? Previously, I still thought our potential was about the same, but now I realize we're far apart."
As for Ao Lei's words, I don't agree with them. His strength is indeed very strong, it's just that he hasn't had the opportunity yet. In my heart, I'm clear about this - if I hadn't obtained the Qing Long scales back then, I wouldn't have been able to reach where I am today.
I said: "Ao Lei, you are wrong. You should believe in your own abilities. You just haven't met the right opportunity yet, but that doesn't affect your growth. I believe that your future achievements will not be lower than those of the Black Water Xuan Snake."
At this time, the giant alligator also said: "That's right, I cultivated you before because I saw your extraordinaryness. Don't be discouraged, your future achievements will definitely not be low."
Hearing us say that, Ao Lei also gained confidence and said: "Hmm, big brother, don't worry, I will definitely not become a burden to you. I will slowly become stronger and follow by your side, fighting shoulder to shoulder with you, helping you become the king."
I nodded in relief, now Ao Lei seemed to have abandoned his previous hatred and started anew, this was a good start.
After a few more days, I finally had a feeling of wanting to go home, and the island was calm again. Smith didn't come looking for trouble anymore, so I told them that I wanted to return to my previous place for a while.
They didn't know I still had family, so they couldn't understand why I was going back. I didn't explain much to them either, just told them all to wait here for me and I'd be right back.
At last they were persuaded by me and didn't plan to follow me back, I swam alone into the sea again, thinking that I would see my parents soon, my heart was very excited, I don't know if they can recognize me now.
I didn't know how long it would take to swim to the other shore, so after swimming for half a day, I was lucky enough to encounter another ferry. I quietly climbed aboard and hid in a gap between the boards, letting it carry me across. If I had to rely on my own strength to swim, I don't know how many days it would take, and being soaked all the time is also very uncomfortable.
Facing the cool sea breeze, I felt great, after running a few laps and breathing in and out, I gradually fell asleep!
