Starting with watering the World Tree for otherworldly survival

Page 14

"This... this level of purity of dragon might is something that ordinary young dragons could never possess!"

Generally speaking, any young dragon that can roam freely in the Forsaken Lands without the protection of an adult dragon is no pushover.

Because dragons are the most powerful race that has mastered the most complete resurrection technique in the world.

Among them, special individuals who possess secret techniques can resurrect the deceased by silently reciting their name within seven days while their soul remains in the underworld, expending corresponding magical energy.

These two in front of me are probably powerful young dragons that have been resurrected.

Furthermore, by expending enough magic energy, the newly born dragon can regain its strength.

If the demonic energy of a Saint-level being is used to revive, the newborn dragon will appear in the world as a fully grown Saint-level dragon.

"Little Snow Bear, what's your name?"

After stunning everyone present, Qin He couldn't help but reach out his dragon claw and pat the Crystal Snow Bear's thick rump. The feel was surprisingly good.

Although it didn't hurt when its bottom was patted like that, Crystal Snow Bear had a unique feeling about it.

I feel... a strange, warm feeling in my heart.

“Luna…Luna Bellus.”

She wanted to move away immediately, but a rather strange feeling kept her rooted to the spot.

Not only that, Luna actually obediently gave her name...

"Very good, now transform into human form. Like the others."

The fact that they had the Crystal Snow Bear, the biggest threat here, right from the start made Mira and the others dare not make any rash moves.

Under the influence of the Soap Silver Seal, the snow bear, which had resembled a heavy chariot, was quickly covered by crystal armor and gradually shrank.

However, the actual situation was different from the voluptuous beauty Qin He had seen. Little Luna had transformed into a petite and delicate loli.

Her limbs were covered with bear paw-like garments, with glimpses of her fair ankles peeking out from within. Above that were rather sensual fleshy legs and a full bottom.

The rather flat, loli-like body was naturally covered by the fur of a snow bear.

Qin He was a little confused. Where did the two big, plump bears he had seen earlier go?

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that there was another, rather tall, ethereal figure surrounding the little girl, exactly the same as the one Qin He had seen before.

Good heavens, he really hit the jackpot. This snow bear can not only transform into human form, becoming an adorable and stunningly beautiful beast girl, but it can also engage in dual cultivation with both a young girl and a male companion.

"Alright, you'll be working with me from now on."

“I will take you to the deeper parts of the Forsaken Lands, where you will find better honey or fish, and anything else you desire.”

Using simple methods to coax the little gluttonous bear into a frenzy, Qin He granted her permission, and she skipped and hopped to pick up the roasted meat and began to feast.

“That one over there… is her name Vild? Now kneel down and tell me exactly why you’re here, don’t miss a single word.”

The Soap and Silver Seal also controlled Vild. Qin He transformed back into human form and ordered her to remove the veil she had been wearing.

The assassin tried desperately to stop herself, but how could she possibly succeed? The power of the Silver Seal was absolute; her demonic energy, battle aura, and everything else were insufficient to resist its control.

"I am... an assassin hired to kill Miss Mira's adventure team!"

“My employer is an old woman. She said that as long as I bring back the heads of three people, I will receive a commission of 500,000 gold coins.”

The three were somewhat shocked, with Mira even muttering under her breath:

"Only 500,000? Who do you think you are?"

Qin He waved his hand, and Zhong Liuxiu took out a sack of amethyst coins from her spatial scale and handed it to him.

The world's monetary system is based on the traditional currencies of copper, silver, gold, and amethyst. This bag of amethyst coins represents a considerable fortune.

Although for him and Zhong Liuxiu, these were just things to make their home look nice later.

But now, they could indeed be used as bait to tempt Wilde. As soon as Qin He took one out of his bag, Wilde made a sound of swallowing hard.

"Forget about that request. I'm interested in everything about humanity in this world. You, and those three over there, will all come with us from now on."

"I'm going to venture deep into the land of the forsaken gods. During this time, all of you must obey my orders. Do you understand?"

Mira tried to struggle, but Qin He's single glance was enough to make her two companions kneel on the ground in a proper posture.

She knew that this battle was impossible to win! Besides, the silver dragons were the race most closely related to humanoids, and following them might actually save her a lot of trouble.

"Let me tell you, she and I were both Saint Dragons who had reached the Saintly Realm. Due to some reasons, we ended up here when we were resurrected."

His casual remark shocked several inexperienced girls, as well as the snow bear who was devouring meat.

The dragon race does indeed possess a secret method of resurrection, and they were also rendered immobile by the dragon's might.

Therefore, these two young dragons are probably indeed extraordinary holy dragons!

Of course, if they knew that the person in front of them was a chosen one far superior to the Holy Dragon, they would probably be so shocked that they would submit on the spot.

"I like humans and elves very much, and I also like obedient magical beasts~ You will stay by my side from now on, and I will not treat you badly."

Then, Qin He further hinted at the four of them—

"You are all my subordinates now. If you start fighting each other, it will be very difficult for me."

Sister Freya was quite sensible; she simply removed her veil, revealing her horns beneath, and said:

"By the holy Gaia Umino, Sister Freya forgives Miss Wilde and will follow the Holy Dragon from this day forward."

Hmm? Is she a dragon-person... or a demon? Considering Freya's previous behavior, she is probably a succubus—in this world, she is collectively known as a dream demon, a wondrous being who weaves beautiful dreams for others.

That's fine, I'll make sure she gets the happiness a succubus deserves in the future.

Subsequently, Inanna and Mira also swore allegiance to him. With a single thought, Qin He removed the pressure exerted on the silver seal along with the dragon's might.

The fight raged fiercely, and the four women were already dizzy with hunger. With the fragrant roasted venison right in front of them, they no longer cared about being elegant.

They introduced themselves to each other, and although the names Qin He and Zhong Liuxiu seemed strange to them, they quickly accepted them.

After all, modern dragons rarely use common Western names to name their descendants, but instead use short, nickname-like two-word names instead.

As expected, after tasting the barbecue, Zhong Liuxiu began to say some surprising things:

"Qin He and I are not only the youngest holy dragons in the Forsaken Land, but he is also powerful enough to transcend many of the rules of this world. Just like this~"

As she spoke, Zhong Liuxiu tiptoed and stole a kiss from Qin He.

One gesture was enough to frighten Sister Freya quite a bit.

This is a heretical act that violates divine law. Logically, Heraheim would immediately cast those two souls into the cycle of reincarnation!

"In a little while, I'll personally teach you how to do these things with him. Don't worry, he can do these blasphemous things as he pleases."

"Are you kidding? Even Celestia, who governs nature, was embraced by Qin He. What can those divine laws do to a chosen one like him?"

Chapter 21 The Snow Wolf Leader's Silver Seal Will Fall

Witnessing Qin He and Zhong Liuxiu's disregard for divine law, Freya's understanding was almost completely overturned.

Could these two young dragons truly be special beings capable of surpassing divine laws?

Seeing that Zhong Liuxiu intended to lure the girls one by one to his bed, Qin He had the same idea; he only needed to gradually develop the relationship during their time in the safe house.

Incidentally... his own side's combat strength is actually quite good. Qin He is already considering how to take down the seventh-tier red dragon and the Snow Wolf King.

……

Wow! What a big safe house!

The four women and one bear followed Qin He and Zhong Liuxiu back to the safe house. The house was fully equipped and could accommodate more than a few of them.

It has to be said that having more people under you is indeed very efficient.

Zhong Liuxiu nibbled on the fresh leopard meat, her plump tail swaying, exuding an aura most capable of bewitching leopard-like magical beasts.

As soon as it releases the aura of its tail, leopard-type magical beasts of varying ranks from first to third rank arrive.

"Icethorn Siege!"

Mira's magical talent is quite remarkable; she can easily unleash large-scale fifth-tier spells without even needing to chant spells.

Inanna packed the leopard-like magical beasts that had lost their lives in the ice thorns into her storage ring.

Freya continued to cast holy prayers from the rear, allowing Mira to continuously deal with the surging monsters.

Such an unusual thing happened—a deadly attraction appeared, drawing many of his own kind to his death...

A powerful leopard-like magical beast wanted to see clearly what exactly was setting the trap.

Soon, this formidable creature, far more powerful than the ordinary Thunder Leopard, appeared.

—Shadow Saber-toothed Leopard, a peak fifth-tier magical beast. Its magical attribute is darkness, making it a somewhat well-known magical beast in this forest.

Previously, Qin He had already learned of the existence of magical beasts within a hundred miles of this area. However, specific information about them, including their origins, still needed to be obtained from Luna.

Basically, the strongest creature on the outer perimeter is Luna, the Crystal Snow Bear, who possesses mid-level sixth-tier strength and an extraordinary bloodline.

The first to arrive here from the depths of danger was the Snow Night Wolf King.

Its strength as a mid-seventh-tier being was already formidable, and it further consolidated its dominance by taking over the largest wolf pack in the area. Ultimately, it achieved its current status, commanding a thousand snow wolves.

Then, the red dragon that had been encroaching on the wolf king's territory began to build its nest on the outskirts.

The forest was engulfed in the fierce battle between these two powerful forces. Some young wolf cubs were crushed to death by the red dragon, and the red dragon's lair was also destroyed by the wolf pack.

Beyond these two groups, the Crystal Snow Bear leisurely hunted alone. Despite its high level of cultivation, neither the Wolf King nor the Red Dragon approached Luna.

After all, this little fat bear's crystal armor is quite difficult to break. Even with the Wolf King's wolves and the Red Dragon's aerial advantage, it might not be easy for them to take down the Crystal Snow Bear.

The Shadow Saber-toothed Leopard before them was undoubtedly one of the best among the fifth-tier predators. It had once intruded into Luna's hunting grounds, using its agile reflexes to dodge a bear's paw and escape unscathed.

But this time, the saber-toothed leopard wasn't so lucky.

"Hmm, not bad. You all step back."

Qin He revealed his dragon-human form, his crystal spear poised to strike.

Having sheathed his dragon-like might, Qin He would now rely on his own skills, combined with this new spear, to fight his enemies.

The hands and waist work in coordination, with the front hand like a tube and the back hand like a lock, and the gun never leaving the waist.

Combined with the power of Qin He's transformed physique at this moment, the force instantly penetrated the tip of the spear, unleashing unpredictable spear flourishes.

The branch of the World Tree was a gift from Celesi after the two of them had done that thing. The "White Wax Staff," which could be called a divine object, was like an old spear that had been nurtured for decades, and Qin He wielded it with unparalleled ease.

The saber-toothed leopard dared not be careless, lunging forward while simultaneously preparing a magical attack in its mouth—

Fifth-tier dark magic, Dark Beast Cannon.

With a sinister glint flashing within its roaring maw, this Shadow Saber-toothed Leopard was indeed quite treacherous.

With a deep shout, Qin He thrust his spear tip forward, first grazing the saber-toothed leopard's waist. He then turned and forcefully swept his spear across the leopard's waist, deflecting the attack from the Dark Beast Cannon.

Suddenly losing its balance, the Shadow Saber-toothed Leopard quickly spun around, attempting to pounce again, but the gleaming spearhead was already upon it!

With a powerful downward slash, the force of the spear tip was absorbed into the crystal spearhead. It exploded on the top of the saber-toothed leopard's head! It easily unleashed a powerful and majestic force, as if splitting a mountain.

With a mere swing of his spear to parry and a step back to strike, Qin He had already seized the power of life and death over the saber-toothed leopard. He channeled his power to detonate the explosive force contained within the spear tip, and the immense force instantly crushed the saber-toothed leopard, causing the ground to cave in!

Certainly, a direct slash with the spear could blast a saber-toothed leopard's skull open.

However, Qin He was not familiar with magic, and if he were to shoot him in the head, he would not be able to stop the Dark Beast Cannon from being released in time, which would cause quite a commotion.

Fortunately, this crystal spearhead is quite good; it can absorb all the force from the spear and transform it into a diffused impact.

With this blast, the saber-toothed leopard, which had been crushed into the ground, was then subjected to a second injury from its own magic.

Such a swift and decisive move naturally startled everyone around.

If Inanna were to wield her greatsword to deal with that agile Shadow Saber-toothed Leopard, she would have to be extremely careful to have any chance of achieving the same result with a single strike.

As an assassin, Vild might be able to outmaneuver the saber-toothed leopard with her agility, but relying on a single dagger to defeat the enemy is still too dangerous.

The other two were not skilled in close combat, so Mira was confident she could handle the saber-toothed leopard with magic and arrows. But her method couldn't compare to Qin He's swift and decisive kill upon first sight.

Freya, as a nun-like priestess, possesses light magic and prayer techniques that can counter saber-toothed leopards, but if the leopard gets close, she might not even know how she died.

The marksmanship he used to practice diligently every day for physical fitness improved by leaps and bounds after arriving in this world.

Perhaps due to the awakening of Nidhogg's bloodline, Qin He's understanding of spear techniques has improved by leaps and bounds. With his powerful mental strength, his comprehension ability has naturally advanced by the same rate.

"Good, there are a few more over there. Did you see them—"

There were a few more, but this one was not any leopard-type magical beast.

The largest wolf pack on the outskirts of the area was drawn by the smell of roasted meat and fresh blood.
