I picked up skill fragments in the demon world

Chapter 51: The Legend of the Traveling Jiaolong (Fifth Update, Seeking Follow-up Reading!)

What does mere mud amount to?

It's just a bit of wind and frost!

"Soon! Soon! The day this fox spirit is suppressed is not far off." Zhang Chen wiped away a clump of rotten 'wind and frost' from his forehead, constantly encouraging himself.

He now felt that it was really soon!

Zhang Chen stood at the door, watching the rain flowing down the straw, wiping the mud from his face, and felt very speechless towards the fox spirit. He really wanted to grab the fox spirit's head and ask: "Can't you be a little more mature? Is it fun playing like this every day?"

So childish!

Simply a childish ghost!

"How can I be angry with a childish ghost!" Zhang Chen muttered unhappily, then used the rainwater to wash the mud off his face before slowly walking into the house, taking off his wet clothes, and then lying back on the bed, closing his eyes to sleep.

Outside the house, thunder rumbled, and between heaven and earth, there seemed to be faint dragon roars, but Zhang Chen was very sleepy now, so he didn't think much about it and continued to fall asleep.

The next day

The sound of reading from next door faintly came, waking up Zhang Chen, who was sleeping soundly in bed. Listening to the 'zhī hū zhě yě' sounds from next door, Zhang Chen covered his head with the blanket, but the sound seemed to have magic, constantly drilling into Zhang Chen's head. Finally, Zhang Chen couldn't bear it anymore and directly turned over and sat up, his eyes looking out the window, only to see that the rain was still dripping down.

"It's been raining all night and still hasn't stopped?" Zhang Chen was a little curious. He cooked rice, ate a bite, then pushed open the door and looked outside, and then couldn't help but shrink his pupils.

It was drizzling from the sky, the drizzle flowing down the eaves, but the ground was dry.

That's right, the ground was dry! All the raindrops, after hitting the soil, seemed to have seeped in, leaving no trace.

"This..." Zhang Chen looked at the scene in front of him, his pupils rapidly contracting, a look of disbelief in his eyes. He suspected that he hadn't woken up yet, so he reached out and rubbed his eyes, but the scene in front of him still hadn't changed.

"It must be related to that water spout!" Zhang Chen picked up the bamboo hat in the house, put it directly on his body, and walked into the rain. He still had to feed the falcon and the bumblebee. In this heavy rain, whether it was the falcon or the bumblebee, they needed to be fed.

And he also had to deliver food to Wang Wu.

Wang Wu lived in the village. When Zhang Chen arrived at the door of Wang Wu's house, Wang Wu was staring at the ground, blankly lost in thought.

"Uncle Wang, I've come to bring you breakfast." Zhang Chen stood outside the courtyard and shouted, then pushed the door open and walked in.

Wang Wu looked at Zhang Chen's wet bamboo hat, a touch of emotion in his eyes, but there was a hint of blame in his voice: "Why are you running around in this heavy rain instead of staying at home?"

"People are iron, food is steel, you'll be hungry if you miss a meal. How can people not eat? I just got a little wet from the rain, it's nothing." Zhang Chen said, taking out the food container from his basket.

"Today's rain is obviously abnormal, you kid should hide at home." Wang Wu said to Zhang Chen: "Look at the ground, there's actually no water at all, all the rain has seeped in, it's really extremely strange."

"Yeah, I've lived for more than ten years and have never seen such strange rain." Zhang Chen said, handing a bowl of meat to Wang Wu, and handing him the chopsticks.

Wang Wu heard this, took the bowl and chopsticks, and then said: "I do know a little about this."

Zhang Chen was stunned when he heard this, looking at Wang Wu in surprise. He couldn't see anything, did Wang Wu know something?

Could it be that Wang Wu was even more awesome than him?

Wang Wu didn't notice the change in Zhang Chen's expression. At this time, his heart was completely attracted by the bowl of meat. While gnawing on the meat, he said: "The current situation is similar to the legend passed down by the older generation about the dragon's transformation and the jiaolong's journey."

"What is the situation of the dragon's transformation and the jiaolong's journey?" Zhang Chen quickly asked.

"All things in the world, people, snakes, beasts, and all living beings, as long as they obtain the destiny, can transform into divine dragons and roam between heaven and earth. And when a species that has obtained the destiny transforms into a dragon, there will definitely be various celestial phenomena accompanying it. It is said that when a snake transforms into a jiaolong, there will be great floods, with heavy rain for three months without stopping, turning the human world into a watery country, accumulating momentum for the jiaolong to ascend into the sky. And when a person transforms into a dragon, because the human body does not have the great power of water, they must absorb the water vapor of the world to help themselves transform. Just like the scene in front of us, it is as if someone is about to transform into a dragon, absorbing water vapor." Wang Wu gnawed on the bone, his voice full of curiosity.

"Humans can transform into dragons? Are there really dragons in this world?" Zhang Chen asked in shock, those were the dragons in myths and legends.

"What's so strange about dragons?" Wang Wu looked at Zhang Chen's surprised expression, his eyes full of strangeness: "The world puts dragons and tigers side by side. Since there are tigers, of course there are dragons. It's just that tigers live in the mountains and forests, and dragons live in the rivers. What's so surprising about that?"

"That's a dragon!" Zhang Chen's eyes were full of shock. He never expected that the dragons in this world were not just the flow of dragon energy, but real dragons.

That was the Chinese totem! As a descendant of the dragon, how could he not be excited?

"What's wrong with dragons? They're just rare, it's not like they don't exist. Dragons are just like tigers, what's so strange about them?" Wang Wu didn't understand what Zhang Chen was excited about.

"Uncle Wang, please tell me about dragons." Zhang Chen quickly asked.

Seeing that Zhang Chen was so curious, Wang Wu didn't hesitate and said: "Actually, dragons are just like tigers, they are just fierce beasts, nothing special. It's just that this kind of monster called dragon is a bit strange, with wind and rain accompanying it, and the offspring born by dragons are not dragons, just dragon species with bloodlines. Dragons mate with shrimps and give birth to dragon shrimps. Dragons and cows give birth to Qiuniu, dragons and wolves give birth to Yazi, dragons and toads give birth to Pulao, dragons and lions give birth to Suanni, dragons and turtles give birth to Bixi, dragons and tigers give birth to Bi'an. In short, dragons can breed dragon species with divine dragon bloodlines with all things, but they just can't give birth to divine dragons."

"As for the origin of dragons, it is very strange. The older generation said that all things that obtain the destiny may transform into dragons, but no one can say clearly what destiny is." Wang Wu gnawed on the bone, his eyes looking at Zhang Chen: "Jiaolongs are nothing special either. I heard people say that the imperial court once sent 3,000 troops to hunt and kill jiaolongs. Apart from being able to fly into the sky and bring wind and rain, jiaolongs are no different from ordinary large snakes. However, the older generation said that if you can eat the meat of a jiaolong and drink the blood of a jiaolong, you can prolong your life and eliminate all diseases."

"I'm afraid the emperor of the imperial court can't sit still at this time!" Wang Wu muttered.
