"Pokémon? What is that?" Renea seemed puzzled but then shook her head and looked enviously at the Shadow Flame crow flying beside Xue Jing.
"Xue Jing, your Daruka is so powerful... It might even be more powerful than a dragon."
Xue Jing's eyes flickered.
Dragon? The pureblood dragon species?
"Have you seen a dragon?" he asked.
Renea nodded, "Of course, I've seen them."
"Dragons are sacred Daruka, and legend has it that all dragons are the offspring of the 'Dragon God.' In our country, only the Dragon God Priestess is qualified to tame dragons."
"Dragon God?" Xue Jing's eyes narrowed slightly.
"You don't know about the Dragon God? They are the creator of this world, a true deity!"
Renea pointed in a direction.
"Look, the Dragon God lives there."
Xue Jing followed the direction she pointed.
"Boom——!!"
A thunderous roar sounded, and a massive golden lightning bolt descended from the sky, striking far away, right where Renea had pointed.
"The sacred Roaring Great Waterfall, that is where the Dragon God resides. That huge golden lightning is the roar of the Dragon God."
Renea made a praying gesture with her hands, her face showing devotion and a faint trace of sadness.
"The Great Dragon God is angered again... I hope the current priestess can appease Him, to quell His wrath."
Xue Jing looked at her, touched his chin, and suddenly said:
"What, don't tell me you're the Dragon God Priestess?"
Renea was taken aback: "Eh?"
"You... how do you know..."
She stuttered, shocked.
It seemed she hadn't said much, nor intended to reveal her identity... How had he found out?
Xue Jing looked bemused: "I was just guessing... it feels like a common trope."
Renea scratched her cheek with her finger: "Although I don't know what you mean by 'trope'... you guessed right."
"I indeed am the Dragon God Priestess."
She placed her hands on her hips, wearing a proud expression.
"I wasn't planning on revealing it, but since you found out, there is no helping it."
"In our country, my status is very honorable," she bragged.
"Come, foreigner, follow me to our country. You saved the life of this shrine maiden, I will treat you well."
Xue Jing pushed up his glasses and asked:
"Didn't you say the Dragon God Priestess can tame dragons? Why do you only have a monkey?"
Renea's expression stiffened, and she weakly said:
"That... That's because..." Searᴄh the NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Xue Jing touched his chin: "You wouldn't happen to be the 'most useless Dragon God Priestess in history,' unable to tame a single dragon?"
Renea shakily extended a finger, pointing at him in disbelief:
"You, are you really a foreigner!? How do you know everything!?"
"Quick, say it, are you a local from our country playing with me, or a spy sent by 'That Country'!?"
Xue Jing waved his hand: "Just a random guess... Mmm, quite a common trope indeed."
Renea let down her hands dejectedly, resignedly expressing:
"Yes, I'm the worthless priestess who can't tame a dragon, happy now?"
Xue Jing smiled, not responding to her remark, and instead asked:
"By the way, what was the name of that monster that attacked you earlier?"
Renea patted her face, trying to muster some energy, and said: "That was a Vomitus Beast."
"It's a type of Daruka that uses vomiting as an attack method. Its diet is very complex, eating different things will produce different effects with its vomit..."
Xue Jing pondered for a moment, then said: "Are these Vomitus Beasts common?"
Renea: "Not very, but also not rare, because its diet is diverse, Vomitus Beasts are found in many regions and can potentially be seen anywhere."
"I see." Xue Jing nodded.
"Then let's part ways here, we can meet again if fate wills it."
Renea was stunned: "Huh? All of a sudden, aren't you coming with me to our country?"
Xue Jing: "I thought about going before, but now I have more important things to do."
He still had a mission to interact with the locals of the Intersecting Boundaries... but he couldn't afford to bother with that mission right now.
After speaking, Xue Jing reached over to Renea's ear, brushed aside her hair, took the simultaneous translation earpiece from her ear, and put it in his backpack.
Then he turned and walked towards the forest's edge, waving his hand at Renea without turning back:
```
"Goodbye, Renea."
Renea watched his retreating figure, and the Shadow Flame crow following by his side, and said blankly, "Oh... Oh."
After Xue Jing had walked far away, she heaved a sigh with a complex expression.
"Goodbye..."
...
"Tsss—"
With a single stroke, the creature that stood before him, with a head like a rat, was bisected. Xue Jing's silver-white pupils gradually faded, and he opened the panel to look at the interface that had not flashed any notifications, shaking his head.
"It seems not all creatures from the Intersecting Boundaries contain Divinity... How exactly can one discern?"
He felt somewhat disappointed.
It had been more than three hours since he parted ways with Renea.
In these three hours, while he hurried along setting up monitors, he also killed all the non-human creatures he encountered on the way, at least several dozen Intersecting Boundaries creatures.
But he saw no more prompts of [Killing a Special Creature Containing Divinity].
Could it be that only the Vomitus Beast he encountered first possessed it?
If so, wouldn't his plan of 'annihilating everything, rivers of blood, ascending in broad daylight' be ruined?
He didn't want anything like that.
Xue Jing took out a monitor from his backpack, activated it, and placed it on the ground, letting it bury itself.
"Speaking of Divinity... that one definitely has it."
His gaze turned toward a distant direction.
"Rumble rumble—"
In a far-off area of the sky, dark clouds roiled, with countless golden lightning bolts ceaselessly moving amidst them.
Xue Jing touched his chin, musing.
"I wonder how much Divinity I could get if I kill it."
"But... it's difficult."
He shook his head.
According to the Void Blade, even in its juvenile stage, the Pureblood Dragon Species had a baseline danger level above 6.
Level 6... The leader of the Sky Pirates he had previously encountered, who used Primordial Return to become an Amethyst Giant Wolf, had a danger level of around 5.
Given the exponential increase in danger levels, the danger posed by the Pureblood Dragon Species was at least 32 times greater than that of the Sky Pirate leader.
And that's just the baseline.
"In a head-on conflict, I definitely couldn't win with my current abilities."
"But... there might still be a chance."
Xue Jing reached into the pocket of his tactical suit, touching the five claws that contained the power of the Serpent Slayer Spearhead, which Ning Fengwan gave him before he left.
The Serpent Slayer Spearhead had an inhibiting effect on Dragon Breeds. If he could find a way to nail these five items into the body of the Pureblood Dragon Species, he might just have a chance to kill it.
Xue Jing was seriously considering the feasibility of this when suddenly—
"Roar—"
A dragon's roar came from the sky.
Xue Jing looked up toward the source of the sound.
A dark-yellow Flying Dragon with double wings, baring its full mouth of sharp teeth, was roaring at him.
The Flying Dragon had a wingspan of about five to six meters, yet its tail was unreasonably long, at least fifteen meters or more, over four times the length of its body, with hammer-like keratin layers embedded at the tip of the tail.
"A Dragon Breed?" Xue Jing's eyes lit up.
"Roar—!!"
The Flying Dragon roared again and then, beating its wings, dove at breakneck speed towards Xue Jing.
Under the enhancement of Lv8 Aiming with Dynamic Vision, Xue Jing saw the Flying Dragon's speed as barely faster than a turtle's crawl.
He simply sidestepped, dodging the Flying Dragon's head-on rush, then extended his right hand and grabbed its excessively long tail.
Power surged, spiral indentations emerged from his arm, and Xue Jing's fingers grasped the end of the Flying Dragon's tail, his strong grip crushing the dragon scales into pieces, leaving deep indentations from his fingertips.
The Flying Dragon screamed in pain, and as it struggled, Xue Jing held onto its tail and with a powerful forward swing, slammed it hard into the ground.
"Swoosh—"
The Flying Dragon, like a long spear, split the air, sending a white wave to either side, bending the grass around with the airflow raised.
"Bang!!"
The Flying Dragon was smashed into the ground, its entire body embedding more than two meters deep, creating a dragon-shaped crater, lying rigidly within the depression, motionless.
[You have killed a Special Creature Containing Divinity, Divinity +32]
Xue Jing opened the panel, blinked his eyes.
"Oh?"
...
