Chapter 280 - HEALING THE DRAGON

BEFORE Luo Yan could tell Shen Ji Yun to put him down, the tail of the dragon was about to hit them again. Shen Ji Yun jumped out of the way while still carrying him. He landed on a spot that was particularly safe and away from the range of the dragon's rampaging. 

He put Luo Yan down and said, "Stay here. Let me handle this."

Luo Yan didn't have any time to response because the other already dashed forward towards the dragon, leaving him there. But if one looked closely, they could see that the tips of Shen Ji Yun's ears were bright red. Showing just how embarrassed he was just now.

Before Luo Yan could properly take in what just happened, something fluffy suddenly jumped into his arms. He looked down and saw Eclipse.

[Where were you?] – he asked, since he felt him falling down his shoulder when Shen Ji Yun suddenly carried him.

[Eclipse was pushed aside by Captain. So, Eclipse had to find his way back to Mashter.] – Eclipse said with a bit of grievance in his voice. [But that's okay. Since Captain was doing it to save Mashter.]

Luo Yan was amused by his answer. It seemed like no matter what Shen Ji Yun did, this little fox would still be biased towards him. If one day, someone would tell him that this pet of his was actually programmed to help Shen Ji Yun get a favorable impression, he wouldn't even be surprised.

[Anyway, Mashter, Eclipse saved the memory of you and Captain earlier. Captain looked so dashing carrying you like a princess. Does Mashter want Eclipse to send you the memory?]

Luo Yan was kind of surprised to hear that a pet still had this kind of function. But why did he have to learn it in this way? Because his pet saved the memory of him being princess carried. His face was suddenly filled with black lines again. 

He pinched Eclipse's cheek a bit harder than usual. [Delete that memory or I'll let that dragon eat you.]

Eclipse's big sapphire eyes widened. [Mashter, how could you? Don't you love Eclipse anymore?]

Luo Yan only looked at Eclipse as if saying 'what do you think?' instead of answering him.

The little fox pouted. [Fine, Eclipse will delete it.]

Done with that, Luo Yan finally turned his attention to Shen Ji Yun. 

The other was jumping around the dragon, avoiding its rampaging and doing his best not to attack. Luo Yan thought at first that Shen Ji Yun was just jumping around without any kind of goal. But then he noticed that on the places he jumped to, he would leave some kind of paper seal with some kind of hexagram drawn into it. 

Shen Ji Yun suddenly jumped back and then threw another one of the same paper in front of the dragon. The paper unexpectedly glowed with a white light along with the other papers surrounding the dragon. Light appeared from the papers and connected them from one another, making a cage of light for the rampaging dragon. 

The dragon suddenly stopped its movements, as if freezing on the spot. The glow of the cage became brighter and brighter. Forcing Luo Yan to close his eyes. But before he did that, he saw that the cage was getting smaller and smaller. 

When he opened his eyes again, he was surprised to see that the large black dragon that was still there a moment ago was nowhere to be seen. 

[Mashter, look, the dragon became small! As small as Eclipse!]

When Luo Yan heard that, his eyes immediately looked down on the spot where the dragon was formerly standing. And just like what Eclipse said, there was a small black creature curled up on the ground. Its black scales as dark as obsidian was particularly conspicuous. Along with the wings on his back. No matter how he stared at it, it definitely looked like a small version of the black dragon.

He walked to Shen Ji Yun's side. "Brother Ji Yun, what happened?"

"I used an SSR item that could seal a Legendary race and transform them to a miniature version of themselves," Shen Ji Yun answered. "This way, it would be easier to heal him."

As he said that, he took a high-grade potion from his Items Tab and let the dragon drink it.

"Why do you have that kind of item?" Luo Yan couldn't help but asked.

"It might come in handy when fighting a player that belonged to a Legendary race." 

Hearing Shen Ji Yun's answer, a thought suddenly crossed Luo Yan's mind. If he was not mistaken, there were some players that had dragon as their race. Dragon also belonged to a Legendary race just like Shen Ji Yun's Qilin. These races were technically beast types. But the players who had these races were in humanoid form, like a Beastkin. Did that mean, they could also turn into their beast form?

These races also had their own Origin Village. A dragon's village would surely be filled with other dragons. The same could be said for phoenixes and qilins. This black dragon here could even be from the same place. So, if players could turn into a humanoid form, could the same be said for the NPCs that belonged to the Legendary race?

He looked at Shen Ji Yun. Could he also turn to a real qilin then?

His thoughts were interrupted when Eclipse suddenly jumped down from his arms and landed beside the now small dragon. Because of that, he turned his gaze to the dragon. He just finished drinking the potion that Shen Ji Yun gave. Because his body turned small, his wounds were no longer not as scary to look at. Those wounds were now starting to heal at a speed visible to the n.a.k.e.d eye. 

The moment it was all healed, the dragon slowly opened its eyes. He looked like a baby who just came into this world. His eyes full of innocence and naivety. But when those eyes finally had a focus, the first thing it saw was a fox's enlarged face. The dragon's eyes widened. 

And the first thing the dragon did was to slap Eclipse away!
