[Successfully abducted Princess Xue Ke of the Tiandou Empire! ]
[The elemental dragon evolution route has been unlocked! ]
[Does the host choose to activate the elemental evolution module? ]
In Ao Xing's mind, the system's voice suddenly sounded.
Without hesitation, he chose 'No'.
The dragons in the Douluo World are basically Western pseudo-dragons, slightly stronger than miscellaneous dragons but weaker than sub-dragons.
Including the time-stopping dragon he became, which was actually a pseudo-dragon, but it was a pseudo-dragon of the highest grade.
The elemental route can unlock a variety of abilities, giving him more means of attack and defense.
But in the final analysis, the upper limit of growth is Asian dragon.
Perhaps, the tasks assigned by the system later could help one break through from a sub-dragon to a true dragon, but the whole process would definitely be tortuous.
As for the mechanical route and the gem route, judging from the text description, their power systems definitely do not belong to the line of [miscellaneous dragon-pseudo dragon-sub-dragon-true dragon], and after the second and third advancements, both attack and defense are maxed out.
Especially the final form of immortality in the Gem Route, it's simply amazing!
There is no reason to choose the element route!
Ao Xing kidnapped Xue Ke just to improvise and find Qian Renxue who was disguising herself as Xue Qinghe.
after all,
The Tiandou Palace is heavily guarded, and as an old empire that has stood on the Douluo Continent for hundreds of years, the Tiandou Empire must have a mature response plan.
He is still just a young dragon, and the range of his [Time Stop] ability is limited.
Breaking into the palace at night and kidnapping the prince is too dangerous.
"Xue Qinghe, you don't want your sister to spend the rest of her life with a dragon, do you?"
————
It was high in the sky late at night, and Ao Xing was flying very fast.
Xue Ke, who had fainted when she was abducted, was awakened by the howling cold wind.
Woo woo woo.
What should I do?
Father, brother, please come and save me quickly!
Its wood is so big, it will die...
She tried her best to turn her head, wanting to make the thing disappear from her sight.
But the next moment, Xue Ke suddenly discovered that the houses on the ground were only the size of a fingernail, and the dark river was like a winding rope.
Oops!
Xue Ke suddenly felt dizzy and her vision blurred again.
————
Tiandou Palace!
Emperor Xue Ye, dressed in his nightgown, was in disbelief at first when he learned that his beloved daughter Xue Ke was abducted by an evil dragon that suddenly attacked from the sky while attending a Yuexuan dinner.
But when he thought that no one in the palace dared to lie to him, he suddenly panicked and his face turned pale.
As the king of a country, although his cultivation is not high, thanks to being the ruler of the Swan Dynasty, Xue Ye clearly knows that the evil dragon was the ruler of Douluo Continent in ancient times!
Even a Titled Douluo is no match for the evil dragon!
"Call the commander of the city gate guards!"
"Why did the evil dragon appear over Tiandou City without any soldiers noticing it in advance?"
Having been an emperor for decades, he was quite good at cultivating his energy on snowy nights.
Even though his beloved little daughter was abducted by the evil dragon, he still maintained his dignity in front of a group of eunuchs and maids.
"Reporting to the Emperor, I have already understood the situation!"
Crown Prince Xue Qinghe had a serious look on his face and walked quickly into the palace to report:
"I went to Yuexuan immediately to inquire about the situation."
"Based on the descriptions of everyone present, it is confirmed to be the evil dragon, and he calls himself Ao Xing."
"In addition to kidnapping my sister, the evil dragon Ao Xing also used dragon flames to easily burn to death Yuexuan's chief steward Aode, who was at the Soul Emperor level."
"Before leaving, it left a message, saying that if I personally escort ten carriages full of precious jewels to the Holy Dou Village in the northwest of the Xingdou Great Forest before sunset tomorrow, it will release my sister."
Xue Ye listened carefully to the prince's statement without saying a word, and finally put his heart at ease.
The evil dragon is lustful, tyrannical and greedy for money.
It is understandable to ask for ten carriages of jewels in exchange for Xue Ke.
At the same time, looking at Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, who was able to understand the situation as quickly as possible before such a major event, Emperor Xue Ye couldn't help but feel relieved, thinking that there was someone to succeed him.
"Where's that kid Avalanche?"
"Uh," Xue Qinghe said with some difficulty, "My fourth brother is not staying in the imperial city tonight, so he may not know that my sister was kidnapped by the evil dragon. After all, I was woken up by the guards and then I found out."
"You don't have to speak for him!"
Emperor Xue Ye looked angry, and after a little consideration, he said, "You go to my private storeroom now and select ten carriages of jewels. I will send someone to notify the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and ask Sect Master Ning to bring Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo to discuss the matter of the evil dragon."
"Father."
Xue Qinghe looked a little strange after hearing about the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, and then said softly:
"It is said that the evil dragon Ao Xing is less than three meters long and seems to be still in its infancy."
"I have heard that if you can tame a baby dragon, it will become the most loyal mount when it grows up, and its strength will far exceed that of an ordinary Titled Douluo."
"If the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect knew about this, I'm afraid..."
"Let's tell the guest official Poison Douluo!"
Emperor Xue Ye fell into deep thought.
After a long while, he slowly opened his mouth and said:
"Even if we don't tell the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, with their connections and spies in Tiandou City, they will be the first to know about the evil dragon."
"Perhaps, Sect Master Ning has just been awakened at this moment."
"Qinghe, go to my private treasury and take one of the [Twin Jade Ripple Orbs] and mix it in with the jewels."
"Xue Ke is still in the hands of the evil dragon Ao Xing. The deadline it gave is too short. The taming plan needs to be considered in the long term."
Xue Qinghe was slightly shocked.
The Twin Jade Ripple Pearls are a pair of companion pearls produced by a 22,000-year-old river clam-like soul beast.
This pair of pearls is quite magical. No matter how far away they are, the end that is closer to each other will always sparkle with green light.
If one is mixed into the pile of jewels, the Tiandou royal family can use the other to find the residence of the evil dragon Aoxing!
The growth cycle of an evil dragon is relatively long.
The Tiandou royal family can spend one, two, or even three to five years to prepare a taming plan, and then find the evil dragon Aoxing through the Bilian Orb!
"Your son obeys your command!"
Xue Qinghe walked out of the palace and secretly passed a message to the Thorny Porpoise Douluo in the city on the way to the private treasury of Emperor Xue Ye.
At the same time.
As Emperor Xue Ye expected, Sect Leader Ning Fengzhi was also awakened from his sleep by urgent information brought by a Soul Douluo of the Agility Attack System who belonged to the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect.
"Please go and inform Uncle Gu again." Ning Fengzhi was ecstatic after waking up.
"Feng Zhi, what's so urgent that you have to wake up an old man like me in the middle of the night?"
"Oh my, my old bones can't stand this kind of torture."
Bone Douluo Gu Rong yawned repeatedly and walked into the house calmly.
His steps were not fast, but he appeared in front of Ning Fengzhi in the blink of an eye.
"Uncle Gu." Ning Fengzhi told him everything.
"For such an important matter, why don't you call Chen Xin over as well?"
Gu Rong's eyes widened, and the few sparse white hairs on his head swayed like willow branches in the breeze.
"The dragon is cunning!"
"Although our Seven Treasures Glazed Sect is only a sect and not a country, what is the difference between her and the princess?"
"Letting Uncle Jian stay is to prevent our house from being robbed!"
Ning Fengzhi said proudly: "And Uncle Gu, your martial spirit is a bone dragon, maybe it can be effective against the dragon cubs!"
"Feng Zhi, I was right about you."
"You have good vision!"
Gu Rong laughed, showing his few remaining teeth, and said, "According to the intelligence, the young dragon is less than three meters long. According to the records in ancient books, the strength of the evil dragon Ao Xing is generally between the peak of Soul Douluo and level 912."
"I want to tame it by myself, no problem at all!"
"When do we leave?"
"Time is short and the mission is important!" Ning Fengzhi said, "Let's go now. We must tame the young dragon or bring it back in captivity before the people of the Tiandou Empire exchange it for Xue Ke!"
…
Even though it was a dragon cub, it flew very fast. In just over two hours, it flew from Tiandou City to the vicinity of Shengdou Village. However, it did not stop, but flew towards the depths of the Xingdou Great Forest.
"If you don't want to be eaten by a soul beast, stay here and don't move!"
Ao Xing put Xue Ke, who had just woken up, on the ground and said viciously, "Although this is not the core area of the Xingdou Great Forest, the soul beasts nearby are basically more than 5,000 years old, and there are also quite a few soul beasts that are 10,000 years old."
After saying that, he raised his legs and hovered in the low air for a few circles to leave his scent, and after a roar, he flew deeper into the forest.
Xue Ke stood there in a daze.
Just like that, you're going to just leave the princess you fought so hard to get here?
Xue Ke was confused.
But soon, the fear and terror of being alone in the Soul Beast Forest in the dark night completely enveloped her heart.
At this moment, she actually wished the dragon was by her side.
…
"The Soft Bone Charm Rabbit, a soul beast that is common in the streets, how can it be worthy of being the food of my evil dragon Ao Xing?"
"Well, the Fiery Eagle Tiger Beast is rare, but it's only been around for two thousand years, so its strength is too low to be worthy!"
"A five thousand year old wind fox? It smells so fishy, how can I eat it?"
"Wow! Spread-handed Demonic Explosive Bear, this is good!"
Ao Xing, who was flying at low altitude, was suddenly dazzled by the sight.
After flying so far back and forth tonight, he had already become a 'worried person'.
When I saw the six thousand year old hand-spreading demonic explosive bear in the forest, I couldn't help but drool.
It is said that bear paw is a top-grade mountain delicacy.
But for various reasons, he had never tasted it in his previous life.
"Hehehe." Ao Xing let out a strange laugh, then looked at the Demonic Explosive Bear curled up on the ground with its hands spread out.
A condensed dragon flame burst out from his mouth!
Soon, waves of enticing fragrance filled the woods.
Many sleeping soul beasts were awakened by this charming smell.
but,
After they found out that it was an evil dragon eating, they all fled away, fearing that they would end up like the explosive bear with its hands spread out.
The hair on the bear's paws had all been burned to ashes by the high temperature flames.
Ao Xing tore off a piece of meat and savored it carefully.
There is a lot of fat on the bear paw, and it tastes like pork elbow, but firmer. I don't know if it's because there is no seasoning, but Ao Xing still tasted a hint of fishy smell.
However, due to the reason for being a dragon, he does not hate it.
"What are you looking at?"
"I've never seen anyone chewing bear paws!"
Ao Xing noticed that the Spread-Handed Demonic Explosive Bear, whose palm was broken, was still standing in front of him without moving. He couldn't help but said disdainfully, "I won't eat your bear paw for nothing. If you are in danger in the future, just report my name, Evil Dragon Ao Xing, and I will protect you!"
"One bear paw in exchange for a lifetime of safety, it's a good deal!"
"Go away!"
The strong prey on the weak, this is the law of the jungle.
As an evil dragon, Ao Xing was very kind by not directly performing the whole roasted bear performance.
The trembling Demonic Explosion Bear with spread hands immediately turned around and left after hearing Ao Xing's words.
"It's a good deal indeed. But Brother Evil Dragon, if you want to eat roasted bear paws, I can just chop them for you. Why do you have to wait until they are roasted before cutting them?"
"It hurts so much, okay!"
…
Soon, the bear paw was eaten clean by Ao Xing.
After his worries were resolved, he did not go back to find Xue Ke immediately, but continued to wander in the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Even the darkness of the night plus the shadows of the dense trees makes it even darker.
But Ao Xing relied on his keen hearing, sensitive sense of smell, and a pair of vertical pupils that could detect even the tiniest details to fully capture all the conditions in the nearby forest.
Soon, his eyes lit up.
About 300 meters ahead, near a quiet little pond, a horse-shaped creature with a sharp horn about half a meter long on its head was lying there taking a nap.
"It's a mare."
Ao Xing sniffed the air carefully and determined the gender of the soul beast.
He couldn't help but narrow his eyes and began to observe carefully.
The long pink and white mane is spread lazily, and a pair of beautifully curved ears are standing upright. The mare is white all over, and the tight fur fully outlines its graceful and strong muscle lines. The raised buttocks also have a ponytail that looks like a JK loli's favorite.
"I think you still have your charm"
Ao Xing swallowed, but still put away the inappropriate thoughts.
It's not because this 40,000-year-old crystal diamond unicorn is six meters long and three meters tall, and is quite large, while he is still just a young dragon.
The reason why he was wandering around was to find a soul beast that could help him pull the jewels tomorrow.
