2962 The Obsession 2 (2/2)

After some time, the candle dragon finally managed to approach her up close, only to realize that she was just an illusion. Its claws had penetrated through her body like a phantom. Also, the illusion was extremely cold. The candle dragon almost became frozen just by approaching it.

The more she showed up, the colder the place became. It was so bad to the point where the candle dragon could feel the frost before the illusion even appeared. To survive, it had to drill into the depths of the earth to keep warm.

The pink candle dragon was very lonely and had always wanted a companion.

However, its presence was unnoticed by many occasional visitors. They could not see or hear it at all. Even if it were standing in their way, they would bump into it, thinking that they had come across an invisible spirit. Shocked, the next thing they did was to run for their lives.

There were a few times where people came to patrol the desert just when the lady was about to show up. The pink candle dragon did not want to see them being frozen to death, so it brought them all to the underground. However, they ended up dying from suffocation.

This place was a hopeless place. Whoever entered would never be able to make it out. No matter how powerful the visitors were, they would either die from heat, hunger, thirst, or the cold.

All in all, the pink candle dragon was the only being that managed to stay alive in the vast desert. Its wish for a companion finally came true. Di Hao was here at last.

The candle dragon was very grateful for his presence. Like a chatterbox, it would not stop talking.

Di Hao learned about many things from its generous sharings. There was only one thing that he did not quite understand. ”I know that the candle dragons live in the high mountains and marshlands. They love to be in the shade and not the sun. Moreover, their eggs can only hatch in specific pools of water, not at room temperature. On the whole, none of the living conditions here can sustain your survival. How did you keep yourself alive so far?”

The pink candle dragon was just as confused. ”I do not know, really. I have been here for as far as I can remember.”

”Have you always been this big?”
