A Top Scholar in Everything
Chapter 1088 - 1074: The Aging Giant Dragon
The journey of the two was monotonous.
Yidi kept directing, letting Baiyu change positions, while on the road, Exotic Beasts could be seen everywhere, tearing each other apart and fighting.
Regardless of whether big or small.
Chaos reigned outside Bailan City.
The farther from Bailan City, the more serious the situation became, one Exotic Beast after another roared at other Exotic Beasts as if venting its anger.
However.
Not a single Exotic Beast approached Baiyu's location.
Their vehicle maintained a constant speed forward without any anomaly, which made Yidi click his tongue in wonder.
Though.
On the second day of advancing, Baiyu felt an incredibly powerful presence, strong enough to threaten him.
This presence originated from deep within the Bailan Realm.
There seemed to be a giant Exotic Beast roaring there, Baiyu faintly heard its voice, it seemed extremely painful, even wanting to free itself through death.
This emotion was extremely obvious.
Baiyu stopped the car and carefully discerned the source of this sound.
"What's wrong?"
Yidi asked, puzzled.
Baiyu said solemnly, "Didn't you hear the roar of the Exotic Beast? It seems to be suffering a lot, wanting to end its life."
At this moment.
Baiyu suddenly thought that the Illusion Beast was also a terrifying Exotic Beast, why is it heavily injured?
Could it be.
Someone is outside killing Exotic Beasts?
After hearing Baiyu's words, Yidi also listened intently, but he didn't hear anything.
Clearly, his spirituality and hearing were not as sharp as Baiyu's.
"Let's go and take a look, maybe we'll discover something unexpected."
Baiyu didn't hesitate, driving in the direction the sound was coming from. The off-road cart provided by Bailan City could advance over most rough terrains, it can even drive up cliffs, the result of research by the Mechanical Scholars of the Mechanical Science Church.
On such terrain.
Baiyu, although driving, was still proceeding smoothly.
Only this time.
On the advancing road, they encountered many Exotic Beasts blocking their way.
These Exotic Beasts seemed like they were guarding their king, not allowing anyone to approach, once approached, they would launch a frenzied attack.
Baiyu released his presence.
The enormous Blood Qi of Eclipse Moon Realm, coupled with the terrifying Power of Destruction, successfully deterred these Exotic Beasts.
But it only deterred them.
They still refused to leave, instead followed behind Baiyu and Yidi's vehicle relentlessly.
Unlike the Exotic Beasts outside, once Baiyu released his presence, they all hid far away, that's biological instinct.
Even these Exotic Beasts could not avoid it.
Driving into a forest, the trees were lush, surrounded by jagged rocks.
Baiyu followed the direction the sound was coming from.
Driving for roughly two hours, finally discovering a giant cave.
It's not quite accurate to describe as a cave.
This was a hollowed mountain, with a gigantic entrance in the middle, from the look of it, estimated to be accessible by Black Moon Giants.
The sound was coming from the entrance.
Seeing such a large-scale cave, Yidi instinctively felt something was wrong: "Mr. Bai, are we really able to enter?"
His concern was whether the inside monsters would directly swallow them.
Smaller Exotic Beasts aren't necessarily weak, but larger Exotic Beasts definitely aren't ordinary.
Clearly.
Not even enough for the monsters inside to take a bite.
Baiyu smiled and said, "Indeed, the monsters inside are mighty, I feel they're very threatening, but they shouldn't pose a threat to our lives, trust me."
Yidi silently nodded.
Now, what else can he do but believe?
The two walked into the cave.
Inside was pitch black, reaching out and not seeing fingers, with a thick stench, making one almost want to vomit.
Baiyu snapped, a flame spread from the center of himself, instantly illuminating the entire cave.
Inside the cave revealed itself.
This cave was large, completely hollowed, hills of coins, porcelains, and various valuable antiques stacked into mountains, shimmering within the cave.
The entire cave.
More than half the area was filled with such golden shimmering items.
On the largest mountain of gold.
A pure white, with massive fleshy wings, a unicorn on its head Giant Dragon was crouched on top.
Its body was covered with ferocious wounds.
These wounds were almost identical to those on the Illusion Beast, without any difference.
The only difference was.
This Giant Dragon was mighty, mighty enough that its flesh inside didn't rot like the Illusion Beast, there was still hope.
The moment Baiyu and Yidi saw this Dragon, the Dragon saw them too.
"Dragon..."
Yidi murmured, legs beginning to tremble, this creature appearing only in legends suddenly before his eyes, how could he not be terrified.
This was, a real, living Dragon!
"Stay calm, this Exotic Beast isn't very strong, similar to the Deep Sea Demon Whale." Baiyu quickly responded.
Yidi, however, had a tumultuous inner sea.
Deep Sea Demon Whale.
This too is a creature existing only in legends, no one has ever seen it.
Rumors say there is a real, living Deep Sea Demon Whale in the Free Federation, but it's just rumors.
Of course.
If Baiyu told him he also knew the owner of the Deep Sea Demon Whale, Yidi would be even more shocked.
Baiyu took a deep breath, "Bishop Yidi, use your Extraordinary Abilities to verify if this Dragon is under the same Curse."
Yidi nodded.
If it were a normal Giant Dragon, having its territory invaded like this, surely it would have already attacked.
The opponent was clearly in an extremely weak state.
Even.
That longing gaze seemed like it was pleading for the two to save it.
This was very unusual.
Such a proud creature, unless truly at a desperate stage, how could it lower its head?
Yidi activated his Spiritual Vision.
Sure enough, there was a dark shadow behind the Dragon, gnawing at its body.
In that moment.
Yidi immediately felt the Curse's strong malice, trying to corrode his Spirit through his spirituality.
He instantly shut off his Spiritual Vision.
"Indeed, it's cursed, just like the Illusion Beast and those people in the city earlier." Yidi said solemnly.
Baiyu squinted his eyes: "Why does the same Curse manifest differently on Exotic Beasts and humans?"
Faced with this question, Yidi also shook his head, indicating he was unaware.
Roar!
At this moment.
The pure white Giant Dragon roared.
The Exotic Beasts outside the mountains shivered.
But Baiyu could hear, within the Dragon's roar, immense compassion and pain.
He slowly approached the Dragon, placing his hand on its head.
