202 The Situation Is Critical, The Skeletal Dragon’s Transformation

As early as a thousand years ago, there was a group of people with extraordinary talent who could communicate with demonic beasts and use them as and when needed. These people were called ‘Beastmasters’.

However, with the passing of time, the secrets of subdued beasts had completely disappeared in the long river of history, leaving behind only many legends that people yearned for.

To be able to command hundreds of beasts to fight for him, even if his cultivation was not high, he could still fight with the strong. It was equivalent to having countless fighters by his side. How could people not yearn for it?

“Don’t tell me Elder Ye is the legendary Beastmaster…”

This would explain why Ye Xuan was able to control these demonic beasts despite his low cultivation.

Ye Xuan and the Penglai Immortal Beasts, who were fighting with the dragon, didn’t know that the others had given them new identities.

The dragon might not have taken a few Penglai Immortal Beasts seriously, but in the face of such a large number, even it felt somewhat threatened.

As the saying goes, even if there are many ants, they can still bite an elephant to death. Although the Penglai Immortal Beasts were not the skeletal dragon’s match, they were not easy to deal with when there were so many of them.

On the endless white bones, there were a few more marks, all of which were caused by the Penglai Immortal Beasts.

The Penglai Immortal Beast, Xuan Yuan, couldn’t help but complain, “This big guy is really tough.”

Ye Xuan nimbly dodged the dragon’s tail. He said, “It’s a divine beast, after all. Even if it’s dead now, its combat power can’t be underestimated.”

“But then again, it’s been dead for thousands of years. Why is it still alive?”

“Maybe it used some secret technique,” Xuan Yuan said uncertainly, “Just like what we did before. The dead clansmen exist in another way. But I think this skeletal dragon doesn’t have any consciousness.”

“But I keep feeling that this skeletal dragon’s condition is a little strange.”

Ye Xuan stared at the black spots on the dragon’s body and found that they had increased by quite a bit, and now they had grown to the dragon’s face.

The originally white skeletal dragon had completely turned black and white, looking very strange. The white part was constantly shrinking, and the black area was expanding, as if it had a life of its own, spreading on the dragon’s body.

“Don’t tell me that the skeletal dragon was resurrected using a similar sorcery to what you guys did before?”

Although they were in different states, they both gave Ye Xuan an uncomfortable feeling.

Since ancient times, divine beasts were known for their auspicious signs, not to mention that they were from the famous dragon clan. Even if the dragon in front of them was dead, it did not look like an auspicious sign.

Xuan Yuan pondered for a moment before replying, “I think it’s possible.”

At this time, the number of Penglai Immortal Beasts had increased. However, because the dragon was too powerful, the two sides were now at a draw.

The Penglai Immortal Beasts’ body glowed with a rainbow-colored light. In an instant, the sky was filled with auspicious clouds, and the five-colored spiritual power transformed into threads that wrapped around the dragon’s body.

However, the skeletal dragon was not to be trifled with. As it breathed out Dragon Breath, the threads were corroded and dissipated by an unknown force.

There were even a few Penglai Immortal Beasts whose wings were tainted by the Dragon Breath, causing their movements to become sluggish. When they were swept by the dragon’s tail, they fell like meteors.

It could be said that the two sides were evenly matched, but Ye Xuan could see that the skeletal dragon had the upper hand. From this, it could be seen how powerful the ancient divine beast was. Even though it had been dead for nearly a thousand years, it still couldn’t be underestimated.

Even though the Penglai Immortal Beasts had the advantage in numbers, this was not a long-term plan.

“You guys cover me later.”

The Penglai Immortal Beasts nodded. Their smooth fur had already become dirty, and they were more or less injured. They looked extremely miserable. Even in the face of such a powerful creature, they did not retreat.

With Ye Xuan’s order, they all rushed forward. After all, their lives were given by Ye Xuan. Not to mention, Ye Xuan had saved them, so they would not hesitate to go through fire and water with him.

So many Penglai Immortal Beasts had distracted most of the dragon’s attention, so it didn’t notice Ye Xuan’s little trick.

By the time the dragon noticed it, it realized that the little bug had somehow run to the top of the head and was only one step away from the blood moon-like eyes.

Ye Xuan took a closer look and realized that the dragon’s eyes seemed a little strange. He had thought that it was just a ball of fire, but it didn’t seem so.

He had been too far away to notice that there was a black dot the size of a green bean in the center of his eyes.

It was so small that it was easily overlooked. Furthermore, the skeletal dragon’s body was huge. Unless one got close, one would not be able to notice it at all.

Just as Ye Xuan was observing it with all his attention, the black dot blinked like a human eye. For some reason, Ye Xuan felt a chill run down his spine even though it didn’t look dangerous.

What the h*ll was that?!

There was a voice in Ye Xuan’s heart that was frantically urging him to destroy it as soon as possible, otherwise, something bad would happen.

He had always believed in his sixth sense. Ye Xuan gathered spiritual power to his fingertips and borrowed the power of the Hetu and Luoshu Diagram to quickly approach the black spot.

“Roar!”

The skeletal dragon let out a roar as if it had sensed danger. Its body swayed wildly again, but this time, Ye Xuan was prepared and would not be thrown off easily.

The black dot was like ink that was dropped into water, spreading out quickly. The original black color was eroding the surrounding blood moon eyes at an extremely fast speed.

Like a lunar eclipse, the dragon’s eyes turned pitch-black in almost a breath’s time.

At the same time, the spine of the dragon’s body also exploded rapidly, covering the entire body.

Not only Ye Xuan, but the Penglai Immortal Beasts also realized that things were not good. If these black dots covered its body, the dragon would be even more difficult to deal with.
