Chapter 360 – The Mortal Fight between Two Beasts (1/2)
At the bottom of the freezing lake, thousands of meters deep, a bowl-sized, clear and bright bead emitted a faint chill.
Throwing Appraisal, Fatty got its information.
Ice Spirit Bead
Celestial item
An artifact of the Frost War God Saya that increases the power of ice spells by 10%. During a fierce battle with the Fire God – Emperor Occult Flame, Saya accidentally dropped this bead, which then fell into this place.
A Celestial item! Fatty nearly howled in exhilaration. Easily getting a Celestial artifact, this trip to the Demon world was truly rewarding.
No wonder the Demonic Ironkiss Crocodile King had come all the way here, it was for this Ice Spirit Bead. Moreover, Fatty discovered that the bead contained ten Advanced ice spells, which greatly added to its already very high value.
At that moment, a loud shriek accompanied by the sound of water splashing from above his head where the huge figure of the Three-Headed Blood Dragon could be seen looming. When this beast felt the breath of the Ice Spirit Bead suddenly disappear, it instantly flew into a rage and disregarded the crocodile king to go catch the thief in its lair.
Three heads and six eyes like six bright lanterns, stared intently at Fatty through thousands of meters of water, its three mouths roaring nonstop. For a moment, the water currents under the lake surged, and in the originally cold water suddenly appeared electric and fire sparks.
The electric shock running through struck Fatty to trembling all over. He immediately cast two Waterwalks, emerged from the lake, rushed ashore and then fled.
Behind him, the Three-Headed Blood Dragon roared and also stampeded to the shore. Upon seeing this sudden turn of events, the Demonic Ironkiss Crocodile King thought that its minion had successfully stolen the Ice Spirit Bead. A huge water ball appeared right away and shot towards the Three-Headed Blood Dragon.
The Three-Headed Blood Dragon repeatedly roared angrily, its heads kept swaying as they threw out a slew of fire, water, and thunder spells, bombarding the Demonic Ironkiss Crocodile King amidst deafening rumbles.
Having achieved its goal, the Demonic Ironkiss Crocodile King didn't want to fight on. A water mass nearly 100 meters wide condensed out of thin air and slammed into the Three-Headed Blood Dragon. While the dragon was dizzy, the crocodile king let out an informing cry before throwing Fatty on its back and ran in the path they came from.
No no this won’t do. Fatty rolled down from the crocodile king’s back and ran towards the Three-Headed Blood Dragon. In the eyes of the crocodile king, it looked like Fatty was so frightened he ran in the wrong direction.
The Demonic Ironkiss Crocodile King forcefully stopped with a loud howl of exasperation and turned back to fight the Three-Headed Blood Dragon. Meanwhile, the dragon was excited like a rooster to see the Ice Spirit Bead only a few meters away from itself. Alongside three loud roars, a huge water mass with ice hidden inside, a seething hot flame similar in size, and a lightning bolt as thick as a bucket descended from the sky towards the crocodile king.
The three attacks contained the full power of the Three-Headed Blood Dragon. The instant they appeared, the Demonic Ironkiss Crocodile King let out a loud cry and desperately retreated. After all, the dragon was still one rank higher than it, if they truly fought with everything they had, the crocodile king was certainly no match for the dragon.
Forcing back the crocodile king, the dragon excitedly rushed towards Fatty. The water head opened its mouth, and a dense cold covered him; Fatty’s movement slowed immediately. Having lived with the Ice Spirit Bead days and nights, the Three-Headed Blood Dragon obviously had evolved its water attribute to ice.
“Useless!” Fatty shot the Demonic Ironkiss Crocodile King a glare. All of a sudden, he threw the Ice Spirit Bead exactly in the middle of the two beasts.
The Three-Headed Blood Dragon’s eyes immediately turned bloodshot at the sight of its beloved treasure. It disregarded Fatty to run straight to the bead. The Demonic Ironkiss Crocodile King was also forced to a dead end, if it didn’t fight now, there’d be no chance to rob the bead again in the future. The crocodile king rushed over with a crazed shriek and the two engaged all over again.
This time it was really a fight to the death. The Ice Spirit Bead fell to the ground, but neither of the beasts had a chance to pick them up. When one side approached, the other instantly rushed over to hinder. After fighting for half a day, both of them were covered in wounds while the bead was still lying there, emitting a dense chill.
The Demonic Ironkiss Crocodile King was left with a half-broken tail and one blind eye, its body was scorched black all over where patches of skin peeled outward to reveal red meat. The Three-Headed Blood Dragon also lost half of its tail, a claw was broken, two of its three heads were half gnawed off and were dangling on the sides of the middle water head. The two behemoths kept yelling at each other with the expectation that the other would retreat.
When the clam and the snipe fought, the fisherman benefited. The two highly intelligent Demonic Yao bosses were fully aware, and they did not want to be taken advantage of by other Demonic bosses. They stopped at this moment and hoped to solve the problem through negotiation.
Unluckily for this decision, though, the little thief just now suddenly crawled towards the Ice Spirit Bead.
The Demonic Ironkiss Crocodile King and the Three-Headed Blood Dragon were both furious. In the crocodile king’s view, if this little fellow hadn’t run in the wrong direction in panic, it would have been appreciating the taste of the Ice Spirit Bead right now. In the dragon’s view, if he hadn't taken advantage of the chaos to steal the bead, it wouldn't have to fight so bitterly with the crocodile king.
Both roared at Fatty at the same time, the threat in their roar was spectacularly dense. Fatty was ‘dumbstruck,’ then continued to crawl towards the bead as if he didn’t understand.
