Chapter 233 The Dragon-Trapping Curse
She even felt thunderclaps falling around her.
"Hang in there, it'll be alright!" Chen Feng's voice remained calm, as if he couldn't see He Fei's critical situation.
"Roar—" The dragon spewed out a mouthful of dragon flame. This low-level cultivator had actually carried it around the island three times. It was furious.
He Fei held on desperately, her eyes closed, running entirely by relying on the senses in her mind. Although her speed slowed down, she miraculously seemed to become one with the island. She was close to the dragon, but at crucial moments she would suddenly dodge, change angle, and avoid the dragon's attack.
Just like the direction in which blades of grass sway.
Swaying in the wind.
Yes, the wind...
He Fei's figure swayed, following the rhythm and pattern of the wind, impossible to catch no matter how hard you tried.
She had only a sliver of energy left in her subconscious to sense the direction of the wind's movement and to draw its shape in her mind.
"Alright, come to my side!" Chen Feng's voice suddenly came.
The entire island had been covered by an incredibly complex and massive array at some point, which lit up simultaneously with Chen Feng's voice, and countless runes rose from the ground into the air.
As if hearing a call for salvation, He Fei flew mechanically toward Chen Feng. She was no longer walking on grass, but flying with the wind.
Chen Feng suddenly had a pure white token in his hand, with black runes engraved on its surface, the same characters as the array on the ground.
"Roar—" Upon seeing the formation on the island, the dragon's eyes flashed with fear. It abandoned He Fei and flew rapidly towards the water.
The characters floating in mid-air gradually melted into black cages, enveloping the island. Whenever the dragon touched the cage walls, a rune mark would be burned onto its body, causing it extreme pain.
Knowing that she had completed her mission, He Fei relaxed. The sudden mental exhaustion made her go limp and fall from the sky.
Chen Feng waved the token in his hand and leaped up to catch He Fei.
Seeing that escape was impossible, the dragon flew towards Chen Feng. Chen Feng remained calm and swiftly retreated, using a few simple movements to carry He Fei to the edge of the island.
That island then became a true dragon's prison.
"How could a snake demon like you, who hasn't even ascended yet, possibly escape the Dragon-Trapping Curse?" Chen Feng muttered coldly, his not-so-handsome face bearing the sharp edge of a war god.
He Fei was half-held by her and floated above the pool, leaning on her shoulder. Although tired, she still stared wide-eyed.
Chen Feng, I didn't realize he was this powerful. It's a good thing I asked him to bring me along this time; I didn't become a burden to him.
The Dragon Prison conjured by the Dragon-Trapping Curse gradually closed in, and the dragon struggled angrily within it, its body covered in wounds. Unfortunately, it had already used its trump card in the previous battle, and most of its life force had been depleted, leaving it powerless to break free.
A flash of light, and the dragon tumbled to the ground, its dying roll creating a large crater.
Chen Feng landed on the ground with He Fei.
"Come out, I know you've been here for a long time." Chen Feng ignored the dragon on the ground and suddenly turned his head to shout into the air.
There were other people too!
He Fei was startled.
Upon seeing him, Chen Feng frowned, his expression serious, and he took out a sword that was flashing with fire.
He Fei was jolted back to her senses by the firelight and quickly reached out to hold Chen Feng down.
"Don't worry, he won't kill us," He Fei told him. "I won't kill you, but the people who will kill you are coming soon!" He smiled slightly in the air, his smile blooming like a peach blossom. Although he was a man, he had the aura of a peach blossom, warm and approachable.
He Fei was taken aback. Had he overheard her whispers, or was he already planning to warn them?
"Quickly pick up your things, the people looking for the Rejuvenating Grass are coming soon." Chen Feng sheathed his sword, but his eyes held an unreadable emotion as he swept over the man in the air before turning back to peel off the dragon scales. After all, he wanted to keep some evidence, because only in this way could Li Dayi believe him.
With the dragon gone, the Poison Dragon Pool returned to its former calm and tranquil state, serene and peaceful. If it weren't for the chaotic scene on the small island, probably no one would believe that a dragon had once lurked beneath the surface of this pool.
It will take another 120 years for the Youth-Changing Grass to bear fruit again; we still have a very, very long time to wait...
He Fei looked up at the person, Xie Sanshao. He was still looking down at her with a slight smile, just like when she saw him at Yaoshan last time. He was warm and kind.
But no one understood better than her that behind his warm smile lay a cold heart, just like his smiling eyes, his eyebrows curved like the moon, his eyes slightly upturned, yet there was not a trace of laughter in them.
Chen Feng squatted down next to the dragon and quickly peeled off its hard scales. Judging from his usual calm and collected demeanor, he seemed to be used to such scenes.
It was He Fei's first time participating in such a thrilling battle, and she was still unable to calm down.
Compared to Chen Feng, He Fei felt as weak as a three-year-old child. Without Chen Feng by her side, she would definitely die.
"They're here, let's leave quickly?" Chen Feng said to He, and after he finished digging out the dragon scales, he looked up into the distance.
He Fei followed his gaze and saw several dark dots in the sky approaching the island.
He Fei and Chen Feng followed the same path back to Li Dayi's shop. Apart from the people they had just met, they didn't encounter anyone else along the way. The journey was smooth, and since they were both wearing invisibility cloaks, they were not attacked by any magical beasts. They returned to Li Dayi's shop safely.
The big black dog at the door was overjoyed to see Chen Feng and He Fei return. After all, it wasn't the first time it had seen them. This time, it wasn't particularly resistant. Seeing them standing outside the door, it ran inside and barked at Li Dayi a few times.
Li Dayi saw the big black dog go into his kitchen again and wondered what it was for. Why had it come to call him twice in just a few days? This was strange. He muttered to himself, but the big black dog still tugged at Li Dayi's trouser leg and pulled him out.
"Oh, it's you guys. Did you come back without going? Don't worry, I don't blame you. You can come eat here in the future, but let's forget about the chef." Li Dayi looked at He Fei and the others as if he had expected this.
"No, boss, look what this is?" Chen Feng spread the dragon scales he had just peeled off from his bag on the table.
"These are dragon scales! You actually went to that place and even got dragon scales! Aren't you afraid of dying? You should know that dragon is very powerful. Even my father, who was so skilled in martial arts, died!" Li Dayi picked up the item on the table and examined it. It was indeed the dragon scale of his father's killer.
"Boss, we went through a lot of danger to get this. Can you keep your promise now?"
