SWNOVELS Chapter 59 - A Pack of Wolves
Strictly speaking, the Imperial Dragon Spell was not a cultivation technique that Shennong had practiced when he was still alive. This was because Shennong had devoted most of his life to medicine and agriculture. He was not good at fighting and killing.
It was probably because he wanted the person who inherited his legacy to have an additional ability to protect himself that he passed down the Imperial Dragon Spell.
However, this Imperial Dragon Spell did not seem to be complete. If he wanted to unleash a powerful strength, he could only borrow a trace of the divine power of the inheritance.
Of course, no matter what, it was something that was passed down from Shennong. Even if he could not cultivate it to a miraculous level, there were probably no existing cultivation techniques that could compare to it in terms of a strong body.
However, the true essence of Shennong's inheritance was the Herb Growing Art.
The reason why he hadn't obtained this cultivation technique before was probably a test left behind by Shennong.
When he used his divine power to nourish the Nine Deaths Soul Returning Grass, it was because he had expended too much divine power. Although he had fainted, he had inadvertently coincided with Shennong's original intention. Only then did he pass down the essence of the Herb Growing Art and all sorts of secret techniques of Shennong.
In other words, if Zhang Xiaoloong hadn't passed the test, he would only have a sliver of divine power protecting him in his life. Combined with the Imperial Dragon Spell, he could be considered an expert compared to ordinary people. However, he was still miles away from the true inheritance.
“Soul Returning Grass King, I really have to thank you this time!” Zhang Xiaoloong solemnly bowed to the Soul Returning Grass King.
If he didn't use his Divine Power to nourish the Nine Deaths Soul Returning Grass, he didn't know how long it would take for him to pass the test and obtain the true inheritance.
After obtaining the Herb Growing Art, the things that he couldn't understand in the past had now become clear to him.
From this moment on, Zhang Xiaoloong was even more certain of his determination to develop agriculture. Now, he wasn't thinking about him alone, but about how to make more people become rich with him.
These were the words that came later. After Zhang Xiaoloong finished all of this, he began to dig for the Soul Returning Grass King.
“Will digging like this hurt it?” Yang Jingjing pretended to have just woken up and went forward to ask.
The ground was too hard and was surrounded by rocks. There was not even a bit of soil on the rhizome. She did not know if it would turn into dried grass if she brought it back.
“Don't worry. The Nine Death Soul Return Grass isn't that fragile. Even if it is dried up, it can still come back to life. Otherwise, how could it be worthy of the name Nine Death Soul Return?” Zhang Xiaoloong said with a smile.
Very quickly, Zhang Xiaoloong dug out the Soul Returning Grass King and wrapped it in a bag. Then, the two of them began to descend the mountain.
“Is your leg alright?” Zhang Xiaoloong suddenly asked, “Do you need me to carry you?”
“I… Okay.” Yang Jingjing originally said that it was all good, but unexpectedly agreed.
As the saying goes, it is easy to go up the mountain but difficult to go down the mountain, especially in this kind of steep and difficult place. But carrying Yang Jingjing on his back, Zhang Xiaoloong did not feel the slightest bit of strain. The two of them were even faster than going up the mountain.
“I forgot. You were unconscious for a long time. Are you feeling better now? How about I come down and walk by myself? ” Yang Jingjing suddenly felt embarrassed. Speaking of which, he was also an injured patient.
“I'm fine. My physical strength is very good now.” Zhang Xiaoloong paused for a moment and stared seriously into Yang Jingjing's eyes. “Jingjing, when you came out this time, you also saw some unbelievable things. You are a reporter. You must want to let more people know about these discoveries. But there are some things that involve my secrets. If they were to be exposed, not only me, but also strange existences like the Nine Dead Soul Returning Grass King… They might be greatly affected, so I hope you can keep these things a secret. Is that okay?”
“Don't worry, even if you don't tell me, I won't do it. ” Yang Jingjing giggled. “If I said that a stalk of grass can understand human language, others would definitely think that I'm crazy. Who would send such a script to the readers? The newspaper would definitely be crazy as well!”
“That's good.” Zhang Xiaoloong smiled gently.
He was not afraid of any trouble now, but if more people found out about these mysterious things, he was afraid that even the Soul Returning Grass on the mountaintop would not be able to protect them.
Nowadays, people were too utilitarian and discovered a good thing. Regardless of whether it was limited or not, they desperately wanted to get everything into their hands first. Would there be more in the future? Would these things disappear? It was not something they were considering at all.
The two of them went down the mountain faster. Yang Jingjing felt that they did not seem to be going down the mountain. Instead, they were using the sleigh to quickly slide down the snow mountain. contemporary romance
“Xiaoloong, whatever you don't want me to tell you, I will not tell you. But can you tell me how you did these magical things?” Yang Jingjing lied beside Zhang Xiaoloong's ear and blew like orchids.
“Are you talking about the Soul Returning Grass King?” Zhang Xiaoloong thought for a while. “I know some medical skills, and there is also a magical ability that seems to be able to understand the words of these spiritual plants.”
He thought Yang Jingjing would be very surprised and curious, but he did not expect her teeth to fight. She stared in a certain direction. “Then… Then can you understand what animals say?”
Zhang Xiaoloong followed her gaze and saw two gray wolves baring their teeth fiercely staring at them.
He smiled speechlessly. “You don't need to listen to this. You can tell that they are hungry.”
“Let's quickly climb up. They shouldn't climb such a steep mountain, right?” Yang Jingjing's body trembled.
Zhang Xiaoloong shook his head and rejected the idea. “So what if we go up? The villagers probably can't find us here. Are we waiting to starve to death on the mountain?”
Yang Jingjing still wanted to say something, but Zhang Xiaoloong said, “Don't hold onto hope. When these things see food, they will be more patient than humans. The longer we wait, the less strength we have.”
“Then… what should we do?” Yang Jingjing was so anxious that she wanted to cry.
Now she really regretted letting Zhang Xiaoloong carry her on his back. This undoubtedly wasted a lot of his strength. If not for this, perhaps with his ability, he could really beat two wolves. She just did not know how it was now.
“Oh, oh, oh…” f reewe b
The two wolves saw that Zhang Xiaoloong did not move and did not immediately pounce on him. Instead, they raised their heads and howled towards the sky. The sound was melodious and rose and fell, spreading across the hundred mile mountain.
Zhang Xiaoloong's expression also changed. “These guys are still calling for their companions.”
Yang Jingjing's legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground.
Two wolves was already very dangerous. If another group of wolves came, it seemed that they really had no way to survive.
If Zhang Xiaoloong was alone, he might be able to run out. But now, with her as a burden, the two of them would only die.
“Xiaoloong, I can't run anymore, you… Run by yourself. Otherwise, I will drag you down. In the end, none of us will be able to escape…” Although Yang Jingjing was afraid, she still insisted on letting the other party leave first.
“Don't say silly things. Do you think I am someone who abandoned a woman and ran away on my own?” Zhang Xiaoloong smiled and turned around, walking towards the two wolves.
Yang Jingjing's tears suddenly burst out. Other than being touched, she was also scared. Wherever she looked, there were shadows of wolves rushing over. There were more than a dozen of them.
The one in the lead was a white wolf with pure fur and the size of a pony!
