Chapter 100: Panicking Like Mad!

The last dragon came ashore at the Immortal Spring and turned into a skeleton. Legend said that after the final dragon was reduced to bone, its sinews were torn out and forged into a divine weapon: the Dragon-Herding Staff.

And now, the Dragon-Herding Staff was in Di Ji's hands.

That despicable man had always seen her as a thorn in his flesh. Even after being enthroned as sovereign, he still could not tolerate her; only by destroying her could he rest in peace.

Ji Yin also had another regret. That night, when she ambushed Di Ji, she had not even reached his inner chambers before she was scorched by the divine fire of heaven and earth and grievously wounded, and that was how everything afterward came to pass.

She was besieged by so many people and died in glorious fashion.

She had never once fought Di Ji openly. Nor had she ever seen what he truly looked like.

Di Ji was the longest-lived person on the Slaughter Star; his age was unknown. Every portrait of him showed only the back of an old man with white hair.

To Ji Yin, not only was he old, he was surely an ugly wretch with a face full of wrinkles!

"In the Slaughter Star, winged serpents are extremely rare. There can’t possibly be one here, can there?" Ji Yin muttered.

If she were facing a white ape, she still had a chance to slip away. But if she ran into a winged serpent...

Heh. The image was too beautiful to even imagine.

The Crimson Flame Mink could not wait any longer. It plucked a fruit and stuffed it into its mouth.

So sweet! So delicious!

It immediately plucked several more and crammed them into its mouth until it was stuffed full. Its greedy little manner made it look just like a hamster.

Ji Yin was still agonizing over whether to pick any fruit when she looked up and saw the Crimson Flame Mink had puffed its cheeks round. She was instantly ready to curse.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp!" The Crimson Flame Mink yanked off a few more, called to Ji Yin, and threw them over to her.

Ji Yin caught them instinctively.

Damn it! Her heart was racing like mad now!

Suddenly, a streak of dark blue light shot out from the darkness, then another...

Ji Yin felt every hair on her body stand on end.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp!" The Crimson Flame Mink plucked a few more and was about to toss them to Ji Yin when it suddenly sensed that something was wrong.

Why did the air behind it feel so cold?

Even after sensing that something was off, it was still chewing the fruit in its mouth, looking utterly foolish.

"Dummy, stop eating. Come down slowly."

The Crimson Flame Mink braced itself against a branch and slowly moved its little legs, inching forward bit by bit.

Another wave of chill swept over its back, and its legs began to tremble. It was a primal fear!

It could not go any slower! It had to escape at once!

"Chirp!" The Crimson Flame Mink let out a shriek, its fur standing on end, and lunged straight toward Ji Yin.

Another hopeless one. Case closed.

The moment the Crimson Flame Mink sprang toward Ji Yin, those eyes glowing with dark blue light suddenly began to move. A serpent’s head burst out from the pitch-black cave, jaws wide open in a bloody maw, snapping straight at the Crimson Flame Mink!

Ji Yin flung out several talismans at once, caught the Crimson Flame Mink in a hurry, and was herself thrown off balance, tilting uncontrollably to one side.

"Great Demon, run!"

The moment Ji Yin got back on her feet, she realized that the talismans she had just used had not affected the winged serpent at all.

"So huge! So beautiful!"

This winged serpent was white, its scales shimmering with a faint silver glow. Behind its head, along the line of its neck, grew a pair of long wings. They were crimson, and when spread open they looked like two enormous wings. Even the half of its body visible from here was already more than three men tall!

"What is that thing?"

A voice suddenly came from behind her. Ji Yin scrambled up and looked back.

Chu Yu? Why had he come back again?

After Chu Yu had gone ashore, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He could not swallow that insult, so he came back.
