The originally dim sky was covered in dense clouds, as if a crack had been ripped open between them. A beam of sunlight slanted down from the clouds, illuminating only the area around Ji Ge.
On the ground, sand and stones flew, and massive rocks continuously crashed down from the sky, resembling the end of the world. This display was even grander than when they had trained in the Yanbei region that day.
Tie Tou Wa, with its small body, carried Lu Fei on its back. Leng Tou She scrambled onto Lu Fei's back in a panic. The three of them, piled on top of each other, ran to a safe spot, looking quite comical.
In the courtyard on the Forget Worry Grassland, the drunkard who had drunk a lot of wine the previous night suddenly opened his eyes and sat up.
"What terrifying power!"
He was awakened by a formidable force and jolted upright from his bed. Without even bothering to put on his shoes, he flew towards the source of that power.
In front of the mountains encircling them on three sides, the Golden Giant Dragon still held its punching pose. However, its eyes, as large as lanterns, were wide open, and its entire body was frozen in place.
It was as if a bolt of lightning had struck Ji Ge's mind. Its face no longer held the previous swagger. If Lu Fei could see it, he would notice an expression as solemn and majestic as that of Aidasi's true form, like a king high above, overlooking the common folk at dawn!
With a single glance, it could make heaven and earth submit!
At this moment, a figure suddenly flashed through Ji Ge's mind. The figure was clad in golden armor, holding a golden greatsword, with its hands crossed over its abdomen, plunging the golden greatsword into the ground!
The more Ji Ge tried to see the figure's face clearly, the more its head throbbed with pain!
It withdrew its arm and clutched its massive head in pain.
It let out a roar, a sound unlike its previous weak voice, nor like Aidasi's resonant strength. It was a majesty that defied description, as if it came from ancient times!
The Golden Giant Dragon, clutching its head, found this action to be utterly useless. It raised its head and frantically smashed towards the mountain peaks!
"RUMBLE!"
The mountain peak, already bearing a large hole, instantly collapsed!
The Golden Giant Dragon seemed unable to regain its composure, its arms flailing wildly, attacking indiscriminately!
In an instant, the mountain range that had originally surrounded them on three sides was actually cut in half!
Lu Fei and the others in the distance could only vaguely make out the scene, their scalps tingling. Was this still the Ji Ge they knew?
Of the three, only Tie Tou Wa had the best eyesight. Despite the swirling dust, it could clearly see its master's every move. It observed with its heart, nodding in appreciation from time to time.
After a long while, the colossal figure in the distance ceased its movements.
The Golden Giant Dragon rolled its eyes, foamed at the mouth, and finally fainted, yet its body remained standing tall!
As the dust slowly settled, Lu Fei could finally see the commotion in Ji Ge's direction.
He saw Ji Ge standing tall, still in the pose of clutching its head, but its surroundings had already been flattened!
Lu Fei gasped, taking in a sharp breath. In an instant, the three interconnected mountain peaks were gone!
Lu Fei called out to Ji Ge a few times, but there was no response. Looking up, he realized that Ji Ge's eyes were rolled back, clearly having fallen unconscious. After a moment, a dazzling light once again emanated from the Golden Giant Dragon's body.
In mere moments, the Golden Giant Dragon vanished, leaving only a昏迷不醒 (unconscious) Ji Ge on the ground.
At this moment, Ji Ge was emitting thick steam, which poured out eerily.
Lu Fei felt its breath; it was so weak he could barely detect it!
He anxiously shouted, "Leng Tou She!!!"
The cute and naive Leng Tou She naturally understood the gravity of the situation. It immediately mobilized the power within its body, its paws flying. [Divine Heal] was activated, and a sacred light fell upon Ji Ge.
"You'll be fine soon, Ji Ge..." Lu Fei's face was pale, regretting that he shouldn't have let Ji Ge try.
However, today, the sacred light did not flow slowly as usual until the injured recovered. Lu Fei saw the white light rapidly transferring into Ji Ge's body, as if it were plundering rather than transferring.
In just a few seconds, Leng Tou She's face was covered in fine sweat. After a while, an unprecedented fear appeared on its face!
One crisis had barely passed when another arose.
Leng Tou She was so weak it was about to faint. It wanted to withdraw, but its body seemed to be held fast, unable to move!
Leng Tou She panicked and cried out in terror with a weak voice.
Lu Fei was struck as if by lightning. He had never seen such a scene before. But if he didn't act now, not only would Ji Ge's well-being be uncertain, but Leng Tou She would likely be drained dry first.
Lu Fei could no longer care about anything else. He lunged forward, positioning himself between them to separate Ji Ge and Leng Tou She!
"BOOM!"
Lu Fei's mind exploded like thunder!
"AH!!!"
He let out a heart-wrenching roar, in unbearable pain!
He felt as if his mental core had been breached, his spiritual power rapidly draining. Lu Fei gritted his teeth, his expression contorted in pain.
Suddenly, a voice echoed in his mind.
"Your spiritual power is about to be depleted."
Lu Fei didn't know where this voice came from. The pain he was experiencing at the moment made him forget everything. This tearing-apart-by-five-horses pain made him wish for death.
Seeing their Beast Master, his master, and his best friend in this state, Tie Tou Wa was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. But in the current situation, it had no opportunity to help, so it could only hold Leng Tou She and try to comfort it.
It had just witnessed its master's punch that had struck the mountain peak and felt it had gained considerable insight, with subtle progress in its swordsmanship. It had been thinking of bragging to its master to gain some recognition, but who would have thought such a change would occur.
Lu Fei and Ji Ge remained locked together. Inside him, alarms continuously blared in his mind. Finally, even the sound of these alarms vanished.
Lu Fei's eyes rolled back, and he immediately fainted.
Concurrently, the strange energy fluctuation that had been intertwined between Ji Ge and Lu Fei also disappeared.
The steam on Ji Ge's body slowly dissipated, and its breathing began to stabilize. It had finally overcome this ordeal.
Seeing the two finally calm, Tie Tou Wa's suspended heart also settled. Of the four individuals present, it was the only one remaining calm and steady.
Tie Tou Wa remembered Lu Fei returning to the drunkard's small courtyard. He placed his master and Leng Tou She on his shoulders respectively, and held Lu Fei in his arms, yes, a princess carry.
Although its physique was small, its strength was immense. Let alone the three of them, even ten times their number would be nothing for Tie Tou Wa.
As soon as it lifted them, hurried footsteps approached.
"What happened!"
