Chapter 55 Dragon and Rose (Please continue reading, please vote with monthly tickets)

"Xiao Huolong, wake up! Xiao Huolong, please wake up!"

The call was like a glimmer of light piercing through the fog, and Xiao Huolong struggled to open his heavy eyelids.

In her pupils, a blooming black rose swayed gently, its stamens carrying the bitter scent of herbs.

Xiao Huolong could hardly believe his eyes.

What?! Little Fairy Doctor!
What's going on? How come I saw Little Fairy Doctor? Shouldn't I be in the warehouse, fighting that damned old centipede to the death?
Am I just fantasizing again...?

However, Xiao Huolong could not deny the existence of Little Fairy Doctor's beautiful figure and her enchanting fragrance.

No! It's true, the Little Fairy Doctor is really right beside me!

Suddenly, a flash of memory struck his mind, helping him recall everything that had happened before.

In an instant, Xiao Huolong gradually understood everything...

Yes, I was fantasizing again. Everything that happened after I refined the Firestone Roaring Pill was actually a hallucination caused by my cultivation going awry. I never actually left this cave; I was cultivating with Little Fairy Doctor inside the cave the whole time.

However, the peaceful dream was ruthlessly shattered.

Mu Li, the young leader of the Mighty Mercenary Group, had already bribed Little Fairy Doctor's confidant and learned that she was searching for ancient elven treasures.

It seemed to be fawning over Little Fairy Doctor, but in reality, it was coveting the information about the secret treasure in her possession.

When Xiao Huolong and Xiao Yixian finished dealing with the legacy in the cave and wanted to leave, the entrance was already blocked by more than a dozen fierce elves from the Mighty Mercenary Group!
A disagreement could easily escalate into a life-or-death battle.

After an earth-shattering battle, several fighters from the mercenary group collapsed to the ground, while Xiao Huolong, poisoned, could only fall helplessly into Xiao Yixian's warm embrace.

Despite being at the end of his rope and facing certain death, Xiao Huolong had no regrets.

The slideshow plays out before my eyes in a montage style, bringing back memories of the past.

At the most destitute time of its dragon life, it had the companionship of a good teacher and helpful friend like Elder Chi, and also met a confidante like Fairy Doctor Xiaoyi. Its dragon life was completely fulfilled.

Behind Xiao Huolong, Old Chi shook his beard in exasperation, muttering to himself.

[Tsk! Even a flashback can't ignite your fighting spirit? You're such a hopeless case! "To die under a rose is to be romantic even in death," you say? Get your act together!]

In an instant, Elder Chi seemed to suddenly disconnect, his eyes becoming vacant.

At the same time, Mu Li, who was standing opposite, seemed to have his account logged in by someone else, and the expression on his face suddenly became very vivid.

It's Director Mo! Director Mo possessed it!
Seeing Xiao Huolong's unwavering demeanor, Director Mo, who had taken over the Mu Li ship, revealed a mocking expression and pointed maliciously at Xiao Huolong's companion, Xiao Yixian.

"Hahahaha, you didn't expect that, did you, you idiot? The woman next to you is a jinx, she's the one who poisoned you! Look at you, so pathetic, you didn't even realize you were being used by a woman! What a brainless piece of trash!"

What?! You dare to frame Little Fairy Doctor!

Upon hearing Mu Li's outrageous remarks, Huo Zi, who was originally preparing to die with a smile on his face, immediately became furious.

"You're talking nonsense! Little Fairy Doctor would never harm me, my poison is... is..."

It instinctively tried to pin the blame on Elder Centipede, but when it scanned the cave, it found only humanoid Pokémon and no sign of the old centipede.

All that existed was Elder Wu, a genetically mutated being with the superhuman strength of twenty pairs of arms…

For a moment, the honest and simple-minded Huozi looked around with his sword in bewilderment and was speechless.

"Xiao Huolong..."

Little Fairy Doctor's mournful voice rang out, and crystal hot tears dripped onto the petals on her chest, spreading a deep sadness.

“It…it’s right, I’m the one who’s got you in trouble! My special ability is the [Calamity Poison Body]. Whenever my special ability activates, everyone around me gets poisoned because of my constitution. I came here to find the Nine-Colored Poison Scripture of the Ancient Overlord Flower, hoping to control it. I thought your fire-based cultivation technique could resist my special ability, but I didn’t expect…it still dragged you down with me…”

Her words were fragmented, filled with endless regret and despair.

At this moment, Elder Chi reconnected, and his figure appeared behind Xiao Huolong, letting out a long and heavy sigh.

I warned you long ago, the more fragrant the flower, the more poisonous it is...

Xiao Huolong stood there, stunned.

Its simple Down syndrome brain cannot absorb overly complex information.

It couldn't understand anything about calamities or poisonous bodies, or the toxicity of flower fragrances. It only felt a continuous, overwhelming sadness surging within its heart like ocean waves.

Xiao Huolong didn't understand what this feeling was; it only knew that seeing Little Fairy Doctor sad made it unable to control its own sadness.

This unfamiliar, excruciating pain caused the dormant flames within it to erupt suddenly!

boom--

Life energy, like lava bursting its banks, was frantically propelled by Xiao Huolong in a near-self-destructive manner!

It pushed the Burning Technique to an unprecedented limit, aiming to burn away all the poison in its body, along with this damned despair!
"It's... okay... Little Fairy Doctor... don't be sad... look... I... wasn't poisoned at all!!!"

The Firestone Roaring Pill within his body was violently devoured by the Burning Technique amidst the deafening roar of the dragon, visibly shrunken away!
The burning battle qi was like a runaway wild horse, rampaging and surging through the body. Wherever it passed, the tendons and veins burned and felt like they were about to burst, and the flesh and blood felt like they were being thrown into a furnace!

Using a self-harming technique akin to being scalded by boiling water, the terrifyingly high temperature of the burning fighting spirit brutally destroys the molecular structure of the toxins.

Elder Centipede's insidious biological toxins were finally completely inactivated in this raging inferno!
Did they really manage to do it...?

Old Chi looked at Xiao Huolong, who seemed to have gone mad, with a complicated expression. Using the Burning Technique in such a crazy way was tantamount to setting himself on fire.

But at this moment, this is the only way to break the deadlock.

But that's not enough!

"hateful!!"

Seeing that Xiao Huolong's skills had greatly improved and he was immune to all poisons with just one sentence from Little Fairy Doctor, Mu Li (Director Mo)'s face twisted instantly with jealousy and hatred, and he completely broke down.

"So what?! Your fire claws still can't break Elder Wu's [Invincible Heavy Card Technique]! Today I'll send you both on your way!"

As he spoke, Elder Wu, a mutated being with superhuman strength possessing twenty pairs of arms, suddenly lowered his body and lay prone on the ground!
Dozens of arms, like pile drivers, were exerting tremendous force on the ground!

Rumbling--

Debris flew everywhere, and dust billowed up!
With a terrifying, unstoppable force, it hurtled towards Xiao Huolong and Xiao Yixian like a runaway heavy truck!
Low-level Xuan-rank combat skill: Invincible Heavy Card Technique!

The momentum of that charge even faintly carried the fierce charm of Elder Centipede [Hundred-Ton King]!

"Little Fairy Doctor—get out of the way! I'll protect you!"

Xiao Huolong forcefully summoned his weak fighting spirit, and the flames on his fiery claws surged as he fiercely met the attack!

boom--!
A deafening roar, like the clash of metal, exploded!

How could Xiao Huolong, whose fighting spirit was weak after just being detoxified, withstand the full-force attack of Elder Wu, who was at the Great Dou Master level?

The flames on the fiery claws instantly dissipated. It was as if it had been hit by a heavy hammer, and the entire dragon was violently thrown away, crashing heavily against the cave wall, spitting out blood!

Seeing Xiao Huolong in such a wretched state, Mu Li's expression turned ferocious, and he spoke with unparalleled arrogance.

"Hahahaha, trash! Even after being cured, you're still nothing! So what if you're an eight-star Dou Zhe? Elder Wu is a true Grand Dou Shi. Your fire claws are no match for you! Elder Wu, crush them!"

Elder Wu's massive body turned around again, carrying an even fiercer killing intent, and launched a death charge towards the dying Xiao Huolong!
Xiao Huolong's life was already as fragile as a candle flickering in the wind, yet he used his last strength to chant.

"Little Fairy Doctor...run!"

At that moment, the familiar touch of the vine whip wrapped around its ankle.

A gentle yet firm force pulled it sharply backward.

Xiao Huolong's vision blurred as Elder Wu's enormous shadow swept past his body and crashed heavily into empty space!
When Xiao Huolong, still in shock, suddenly turned around, his heart abruptly stopped beating!

Time seemed to have frozen.

It witnessed a sight it would never forget: the frail figure of Little Fairy Doctor resolutely stood in its way.

The next moment, Elder Wu's unparalleled impact force slammed solidly into her body!

There was no earth-shattering sound, only the soft sound of a petal breaking.

Her body, like a rose torn apart by a raging storm, tragically shattered before Xiao Huolong's eyes...
