Chapter 211 Difficult to Answer
what is this?
Fei Xi closed her eyes in disbelief, then opened them again.
The cold, silvery light dispelled the darkness of the cave, allowing her to see everything clearly when she opened her eyes again.
A huge silver dragon was coiled on the narrow platform, its length unknown.
Its dragon tail seemed to have nowhere to go, occasionally slipping into the black lake, only to be quickly pulled out as if it had been scalded.
As the dragon's tail swung, it produced the dripping sound that Fei Xi had been hearing.
The scales that illuminate the entire cave are like thousands of scattered stars, shimmering with silver light, like a dream.
The dragon's head, almost half the size of Fei Xi's body, was slightly lowered, and a pair of golden vertical pupils were gazing at her, this uninvited guest, with a gentle yet complex expression.
Fei Xi pinched herself hard to make sure she wasn't dreaming.
She actually saw the legendary dragon!
But isn't the dragon something that people made up in the past?
Fei Xi thought for a while and saw that the silver dragon was just looking at her quietly, its gentle golden vertical pupils showing no intention of attack.
She couldn't help but have a thought: she wanted to go up and touch it herself to see if the silver dragon was real or not.
However, the black pool in front of them completely blocked their way, leaving them with no choice but to swim across.
Realizing this, Fei Xi turned her gaze to the Blackwater.
Having just witnessed the silver dragon, the physiological needs that had been forgotten due to the shock resurfaced.
Thirsty, so thirsty!
This water is so black, it's obviously not drinkable!
But she was so thirsty that she feared she would die if she didn't drink water soon...
Fei Xi licked her dry, chapped lower lip and glanced at the silver dragon, which was still gazing at her gently.
It shouldn't hurt to see what this water is, right?
As Fei Xi pondered this, she finally couldn't suppress her inner impulse and carefully walked to the edge of the pool.
She had just bent down, intending to scoop up a handful of water to examine it.
In an instant, a gust of wind swept in from the front, and by the time Fei Xi realized what was happening and tried to dodge, it was too late.
With a sharp whistling sound, the thick dragon tail lashed her away from the edge of the pool.
When she was pulled straight back to the corner, she was still in the position of reaching out her hand, looking completely bewildered.
The dragon's tail lashed at me, but surprisingly it didn't hurt much; it felt as if I had just been gently pushed away...
Good news, this silver dragon is real. You don't need to go up and touch it to know that it is definitely not a mirage or illusion at sea.
Bad news, she's angry.
You mean you won't let her touch it?
She was determined to see what this black water was!
For the next half incense stick's time, Fei Xi racked her brains to find a way to get closer to the pool.
However, each time they got close, they were lashed away by the dragon's tail.
Get close, and you'll be sent flying...
Fei Xi became increasingly serious, speaking frequently in an attempt to divert the silver dragon's attention in order to find an opportunity to approach the pool.
From "What's your name? Can you speak human language?" to "I heard that the dragon's place is quite big and there are two of them. Can you let me see if it's true?"
The easily bullied silver dragon clearly understood her words. As Fei Xi continued, the silver dragon simply buried its head under its body and ignored her.
Upon seeing the silver dragon blush, Fei Xi immediately lunged towards the black pool.
Before she could even get close, the dragon's tail, though late, whipped her away again.
Ugh, she's so infuriating!
Fei Xi decided to give up and sat cross-legged on the ground.
"You forbid me to touch this black water. Is it because your treasure is hidden in it? Or is this water dangerous and cannot be touched?"
Upon hearing her question, the silver dragon raised its head, first shaking its head, then nodding.
Fei Xi raised her right eyebrow slightly. Could it really be for her own good?
"I have a strange sense of familiarity with you. Have we met before?"
As soon as Fei Xi finished speaking, the silver dragon's vertical pupils instantly narrowed to a straight line, but it did not nod. Instead, it buried its head back into its body...
The low-pressure sense of frustration emanating from him was almost tangible.
Well, she could tell that Silver Dragon didn't want to answer that question.
"I can sense that you mean me no harm. If you don't want me to touch this black water, I won't. But could you tell me how to get out? Or could you tell me if you've seen anyone else here?"
Upon hearing this, the silver dragon's body tensed up abruptly, then curled up into a ball, burying its head even deeper.
Ugh, I really want to go over there and beat it up!
Fei Xi was incredibly annoyed. She was already parched, and her throat was so dry she wanted to bite herself.
The silver dragon would often bury its head and ignore her. Were her questions really that hard to answer?
The angrier she became, and unable to control her emotions, Fei Xi simply took a small knife from her waist and pointed it at her neck:
"Since I can't get out anyway, and I don't want to die of thirst in such a gruesome way. Meeting you is fate, so after I die, please collect my body and bury me!"
After saying that, she raised the knife with both hands and forcefully stabbed it into the carotid artery in her neck.
Even faster than her was a hurricane, which lifted Fei Xi up, leaving her unable to exert any strength.
The knife fell to the ground, and she was swept up by the hurricane and blown onto the dragon's body.
The dragon's body was over a meter thick, and the hurricane blew Fei Xi onto the dragon's neck, back, and long mane.
Fei Xi had heard that dragon manes were incredibly tough, and in close combat, they were like sharp blades that could pierce through an enemy's body.
But the mane beneath her was even softer than the softest fur on the fox's neck.
At this moment, she felt as if she had fallen onto a bed more than a meter wide, covered with fur, the ground beneath her soft and smooth, and it felt so comfortable to touch.
Just as Fei Xi was curiously touching it, the dragon's body suddenly began to sway gently.
Fei Xi had no idea what the silver dragon was doing.
She had long suspected it, and now that she thought about it, the hurricane that took her away when Qiu Shuying first tried to kill her was probably a spell cast by this silver dragon.
The fact that she couldn't get down into the cave, and that the dragon safely brought her to the surface, as well as the hurricane that prevented her from committing suicide, were all likely the work of the dragon in front of her.
Since the silver dragon threw her onto its back, it couldn't have been doing it on purpose to torment her or try to throw her off.
But to avoid falling, Fei Xi held tightly to the long silver hair in her hands, just like she was gripping the reins on a horse.
As if sensing that she had a firm grip, the silver dragon coiled up and stretched its tail in front of itself.
With a single, sharp gulp, the dragon's tail, which even divine weapons could not pierce, immediately bore two bloody holes.
Golden dragon blood, like pearls falling onto a jade plate, dripped onto the ground, following the outline of the tail scales.
The dragon's tail, steaming hot and exuding fresh blood, stretched out in front of Fei Xi.
Fei Xi stared blankly at the blood hole in front of her, which was as big as a giant bowl...
She understood correctly; this meant she was being asked to drink?
Can she drink this golden blood?
I've heard that dragon blood is a divine substance used to forge magical artifacts. Just hearing that makes me realize it's stuff with an excessive amount of metal. Would she die if she drank a sip?
Besides, she is just a mortal. If she drinks this legendary divine substance casually, won't she be too weak to handle it and her body will explode?
She'd seen many examples like this in storybooks!
Seeing that Fei Xi hadn't moved for a long time, Yinlong turned his head with difficulty and looked at her gently, as if asking her why she wasn't drinking.
Fei Xi felt a little guilty under his gaze, realizing that she was being unreasonable.
She was the one who was crying out that she was dying of thirst, yet people dared to give her their own blood to drink, so why wouldn't she dare to drink it?
Gritting her teeth, no matter how conflicted she felt, she couldn't overcome her body's craving for water. Fei Xi steeled herself, leaned close to the blood hole in the dragon's tail, and lightly licked it.
As soon as she licked it, the dragon's tail trembled as if startled, and the silver dragon quickly turned its head, looking somewhat like it was fleeing in panic.
Fei Xi patted the trembling dragon tail, licked the dragon blood from her lips, and leaned closer to the blood hole again, sucking it in large gulps.
The taste of the dragon's blood was unexpectedly refreshing.
Although it has little to no taste, it doesn't have the sticky, fishy smell of other animal blood.
Fei Xi felt as if she were inhaling the fresh, moist air that appeared when the purple aura first appeared in the east, a refreshing and pleasant sensation.
After drinking for a while, warm currents surged from the shattered dantian, flowing along the meridians. Fei Xi felt warm all over, her cheeks slowly starting to burn, and she was no longer thirsty or hungry.
She gradually became as if drunk, lay on the dragon's body, and fell into a deep sleep.
In the final instant before she closed her eyes, a thought suddenly surfaced in her mind:
Oh no, she's fainting from dragon's blood!
