With the help of the holy medicine, Wutan's lost power was quickly restored.
The fire dragon guarded beside him, paying close attention to his surroundings to prevent any sneak attacks from alien creatures or men in golden armor.
Time passed slowly, and half an hour later, Xuanwu finally returned.
And, still returned empty-handed.
After half an hour of recuperation, Wu Tian finally woke up. When he looked at Xuan Wu, he was stunned. He quickly stood up and stood on the giant tail of the fire dragon. He didn't even have time to look at the fire dragon. He frowned and asked, "Where is the man in golden armor?"
Xuanwu said in a deep voice: "He was rescued by his companions."
"He has companions?" Wutan's brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
“Well, I had already captured the golden-armored man, but just when I was about to come back, four golden-armored men suddenly appeared. It seemed that their cultivation was at the peak of the first calamity. Plus, I was caught off guard and didn’t react in time, so I was rescued by them.” Xuanwu said, and his tone sounded very angry.
Huo Jiao asked in confusion: "In the entire God and Demon Cemetery, I have been to almost every place except the battlefield of heaven and earth and the depths of the Western Regions, but I have never seen people like this. Where do they come from? What forces do they belong to?"
"Not to mention you, even I have never seen them. If Senior Xuanwu could be captured alive, I could search his soul to find out his identity and origin. To be honest, I also thought that facing Senior Xuanwu's pursuit, he had no way to escape, but I never thought that he had companions lurking in the dark." Wutan shook his head.
Then, he turned his head to look at the fire dragon. Upon seeing this, he couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
I saw that there were two more dragon horns on the head of the fire dragon, which were fifty feet long. From the appearance, they were very similar to the antlers of an elk, and seemed to be carefully carved from rubies, shining brightly and flawless!
After looking him up and down for a while, Wu Tian asked suspiciously: "Where is the Dragon Ball? Didn't they say that more Dragon Balls would be born? Why can't I see any?"
"The dragon ball is equivalent to your human's Yuandan. It is very important and I put it in your body." The fire dragon laughed, then opened its mouth wide. A fiery red bead quickly emerged from its mouth and finally hovered in front of Wutan.
Once the dragon ball is destroyed, the fire dragon will definitely die. If it were someone else, it would definitely not take it out casually, but it still trusts Wutan.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this is Dragon Ball."
Wutan reached out and touched it, feeling very warm, but he knew that the Fire Dragon did it on purpose. In fact, the Dragon Ball was extremely hot, and the surrounding space that was burned into nothingness was the best proof of that.
"Dragon Balls are not only the dragon's essence, but also the crystallization of a person's essence, energy and blood. They are a fatal temptation to any living being. You must be more careful in the future." Xuanwu warned.
"I understand." The fire dragon nodded its huge head.
"I understand. Well, let's get back to the topic. Little guy, do you want to go deeper or look for the entrance to the miracle?" Xuanwu asked.
After thinking for a while, Wu Tian said: "With the three sacred objects of Tong Tian Suo in the Miracle, I think I should destroy the source of all evil first. Then, the people in the East Region will not have to worry about being corroded by evil energy, nor will they have to worry about being attacked by alien creatures. They can all go to the Miracle to search for treasures."
The Fire Dragon was surprised and asked, "Are you going to make your miracle known to the world?"
"Yes." Wu Tian nodded and said, "In the future, no one can escape the decisive battle with the false gods. They are so fragile now that when the day comes, I am afraid they will not even be as good as cannon fodder. I am now the Saint of the East Region, so I have to consider this."
"But they cannot be used by you. Besides, you know without thinking that the miracle is extremely dangerous..."
Before the fire dragon finished speaking, Wu Tian gently waved his hand and smiled: "It doesn't matter. To be honest, I don't care about the fighting power of the Eastern Region at all, and I don't expect them to contribute much. As for the danger, there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world. I gave them a chance. Whether they can survive and achieve something depends on their own luck."
In the flash of light, the fire dragon shrank to one meter long, as thick as an arm, and floated in the air. Then it looked deeply at Wu Tian and said, "I heard that you have been cultivating your own power for a long time. Now from your tone, it seems that this is really the case."
"Don't you know?" Wutan was surprised.
Huo Jiao nodded and said, "At the beginning, after you killed Chang Wu Jinwang and the other four city lords, my second brother and I went to command the battlefield and accidentally discovered the teleportation portal. Then, after some discussion, my second brother and I decided to come to the Western Region to explore the world. So I didn't know a lot about what you did in the Eastern Region. I didn't even know about you taking over the position of Saint of the Eastern Region until my ancestor sent me a message afterwards."
"When Chang Wujinwang and others were killed, you and Manhuoniu were also there?" Wutan was surprised.
"Well, my second brother and I were watching secretly at the time, but our ancestors warned us not to help. You won't blame me, right?" said the Fire Dragon with a smile.
Shaking his head, Wu Tian said seriously: "I won't blame you. At most I just hate you."
Huo Jiao also said seriously: "Then you can continue to hate me! At least it proves that in this world, besides my second brother, ancestors, and father, there are still people who remember me."
Then, the two looked at each other and burst into laughter.
"I say, little guy, isn't it time for you to fulfill your promise?" At this time, a very inappropriate voice sounded.
Wu Tian looked at him and said jokingly, "You haven't even captured the golden-armored man yet, why should I give it to you?"
"you… "
Xuanwu immediately changed his face, and Wutian followed suit, laughing and saying, "Don't be angry, senior. I was just joking. Look, what is this?"
As he spoke, he flipped his hand and a three-leafed sacred tree appeared.
The three-leaf sacred tree is also a holy medicine for healing bones and growing flesh.
Seeing the three-leaf sacred tree automatically leave his palm and fly towards Xuanwu, Wu Tian asked in confusion: "Senior, you don't even have a physical body now, what do you need the holy medicine for?"
Xuanwu said unhappily: "Nonsense, of course it's to repair the cracks on the tortoise shell."
"So that's how it is. Why didn't you tell me earlier? I would have given you a few more plants if you had told me earlier." Wutan complained secretly.
The three-leaf sacred tree flew to a crack on the turtle shell, then quickly disintegrated and turned into a powerful life function, merging into the crack.
Then, under the astonished gaze of Wutan and Huo Jiao, the crack did not move at all. No, there was movement, but it was healing at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye.
As a result, the life functions of the entire holy medicine were exhausted, but it was unable to repair the crack, which was only as thin as a hair and as long as a little finger.
"Tsk tsk! Even the effect brought by a single holy medicine is so minimal. The divine bone is indeed worthy of being called a divine bone." Wutan was shocked. He wanted to give up the idea of giving Xuanwu a few more holy medicines, but he gave it up decisively.
What a joke! A holy medicine cannot even repair such a tiny crack, and there are at least twenty cracks on the shell of the Black Tortoise, the largest of which is one finger wide and one meter long. If all of them are to be repaired, I am afraid that even if all the holy medicines in the Star Realm are used, they will not be enough.
"Let's go! Let's go! Go deeper. By the way, Fire Dragon, what are your plans next?" Wutan asked.
The Fire Dragon said with a smile: "For the sake of Senior Qinglong's inheritance, of course I have to go with you. Moreover, you have used up two hundred sacred herbs to help me, so I naturally have to accompany you and assist you in completing your plan to destroy the source of all evil."
"It is my honor to join forces with my former idol to kill the enemy. Well, let's go!" Wutan flicked his sleeves, and Xuanwu turned into a stream of light and broke through the air.
The Fire Dragon stood beside Wu Tian and asked in confusion: "Idol? What idol?"
"You! You are my idol."
The fire dragon laughed and scolded, "You bastard, your overall combat power is almost the same as mine now, and you are also the Saint of the Eastern Region. What qualifications do I have to be your idol?"
Wu Tian said: "I'm not lying to you. In my mind, you were indeed invincible."
"You also know that it was in the past." Huo Jiao smiled and sighed, "Who would have thought that the little fellow who had just started practicing would grow into a local overlord in just a few hundred years. If it weren't for Senior Xuanwu improving my cultivation, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be one-tenth as good as you now!"
What else can Wu Tian say about this? He can only laugh it off.
"By the way, now that you have transformed into a fire dragon, it seems a bit inappropriate to call you Fire Dragon. Do you have any other names?"
The fire dragon said truthfully: "Yes! Because my father is the Shuntian Demon King, in the Dragon God Mountain Range, all the major demon tribes call me the little prince Shunlong. You can call me Shunlong!"
"Shunlong..."
Wu Tian nodded, and suddenly thought of something, wondering: "Can't the Dragon King transform into a human form? Then can you do it too?"
"Yes, but I'm not used to it yet. I always feel a little uncomfortable." After Shunlong finished speaking, with a flash of light, the original fire dragon form quickly disappeared, and was replaced by a young man.
He is seven feet tall, with an elegant figure, and his long fiery red hair flutters in the wind behind him. There is a gentle smile on his handsome face, and his fingers are slender yet full of strength. He is a typical handsome man.
To be honest, even Wu Tian’s eyes lit up.
Wu Tian teased, "With your appearance, once you step into the human world, I don't know how many beautiful girls will be obsessed with you. Why are you still uncomfortable?"
Shunlong was slightly stunned, and with a wave of his hand, a mirror appeared in the void in front of him. Looking at the person in the mirror, he was also extremely surprised. After a while, he smiled bitterly and said, "You don't know, when I was still in the Heavenly Human Stage, I had nine heads."
"Well!"
Now, it was Wutan's turn to be stunned. The image of Shunlong with nine heads appeared involuntarily in his mind. To be honest, just thinking about it made the hairs on his body stand on end.
"We are friends, so I won't lie. Your decision was a wise one." Wutan gave a thumbs up. If he really had run around with nine heads, who knows how many people would have been scared.
Shunlong heard this, how could he be angry? He was just filled with bitterness.
