Chapter 397 This man is really heartless!
"Can you actually test something like this?" Alice was frustrated. "Falling from this height, even if I don't end up disabled, getting disfigured is still possible!"
William laughed, "You are, after all, a Soulmancer. Just protect yourself with an energy shield, and there's nothing to fear!"
Far away, Luna and Erebus stood, unable to hear anything, just watching William and Alice standing at the cliff's edge, apparently talking about something.
Luna, puzzled, asked, "What are they doing there?"
"I don't know! Maybe there's something below!"
"Something below?" Luna instinctively used her senses to scan the bottom of the cliff.
When she saw the scene at the bottom of the cliff, her mouth opened wide in shock, unable to utter a complete sentence: "How... how... is that possible?"
"How can I not be afraid!" Alice, on the verge of tears, was both amused and annoyed by William's words, "Anyway, I'm not jumping." n-)o(.V(.E(-l./b()1-.n
William didn't care about that; his hand was already on Alice's buttocks, giving her a push forward.
"Ah! You're really pushing?!" Alice never imagined William would actually push her off.
This was a sheer cliff!
William smiled slightly and leapt down as well.
The two of them fell freely from the top of the cliff, the wind howling as Alice, terrified, closed her eyes, screaming heartbreakingly.
"Stay calm! Quickly use an energy shield to protect yourself, otherwise if you fall to your death, I won't be responsible!" William's voice reached Alice's ears.
Only then did Alice open her eyes, noticing William a few feet away from her.
Everyone was jumping off the cliff, but why was it that William's hair didn't even get messed up, and his clothes were still neat and tidy, completely defying Newton's laws?
She was in a worse state, her hair blown chaotically, and unable to control her own body.
"Even if I were to fall to my death, you wouldn't care?" she thought to herself.
This man is really heartless!
Alice, with tears in her eyes, struggled to activate her secret technique, and a protective shield of energy blossomed around her.
Yet, even so, due to her fear of heights, she found it hard to control her own body.
William commented with a smile, "Yes, just like that. Even if you fall, you won't die."
If not for William, this black dragon would probably still be alive.
God-kings could imprison this ancient giant dragon, but they could not kill it.
Alice didn't stay long in the water and swam to the shore.
"Huff!" Alice emerged from the water, soaking wet, and looked up at William on the shore, asking, "You knew there was a pond here, and such a dragon, right?"
William shook his head, "I didn't know!"
"You didn't know?!!" Alice's eyes widened in disbelief. "Weren't you afraid it wasn't a pond down here? I was headfirst!"
"I just picked a tall cliff at random," William said with a smile. "Logically speaking, even if it wasn't a pond, you wouldn't die with your energy shield; at worst, you'd get injured."
"You're really confident in me!" Alice was about to explode with frustration, but having known William for a while, she knew this was just his style—always managing to infuriate people half to death.
"Alright, stop looking at me like that. Go and extract the dragon pearl," William instructed, pausing before adding, "Oh, and while you're at it, cut me a piece of the black dragon's flesh. It's been a long time since I've tasted dragon meat."
"..." Alice realized she had misunderstood. She thought her relationship with William had progressed, but it seemed he was still the same as before, with no significant change in his attitude towards her.
"How do I extract it?" Alice had just asked when she saw William's expression and dived back into the pond.
How else to extract it?
All she had was the Sword of Soulbreaker!
William sat leisurely by the pond, having started a fire, waiting for Alice to emerge with the items.
This adventure had indeed proven that Alice's luck was exceptionally good.
William hadn't explored the bottom of the cliff before coming here, but as soon as Alice jumped, she encountered an ancient giant dragon. It seemed he needn't worry too much about her in the future.
Sitting on the ground, after a few minutes, William saw the pond turn a pale gold color - the blood of the black dragon!
Ordinary people, if they could soak in dragon blood and successfully merge its residual energy into their bodies, would become incredibly strong.
Suddenly, with a "splash," Alice jumped out of the pond, covered in dragon blood that shimmered with a faint golden luster.
In her left hand, she tightly held a large purple dragon pearl, and in her right hand, she dragged a large piece of black dragon meat.
She struggled to climb ashore, only to find she had no spare clothes.
Meanwhile, William remained seated where he was, and once Alice handed him the dragon meat, he began to focus on grilling the meat.
Alice wiped the blood from her face and asked, "Is this the black dragon's pearl? How should I use it?"
As William grilled the meat, he calmly replied, "Place it between your hands, focus your mental energy, and you'll be able to merge with its energy."
"By the way, I'll be leaving soon. You stay here and properly merge with its energy. If you get hungry, just grill some meat for yourself."
