Chapter 976 - Chapter 976 Tip 980 Increase Favorability

Chapter 976: Tip 980: Increase Favorability Chapter 976: Tip 980: Increase Favorability Countless sword shadows swiftly appeared around Zhu Minglang, forming a crescent arc of swords that protected him from the terrible force surging toward him. Zhu Minglang tumbled countless times in the air before finally stabilizing his body with the help of the sword shadows.

Glancing down at his feet, Zhu Minglang realized that he was standing on the Fire Trace Sword.

The Fire Trace Sword was as red as a lotus flower, dancing even in tranquility, trailing a long and splendid flame tail as Zhu Minglang flew through the shattered mountain debris, making him look even more dashing and elegant while controlling his sword.

However, Zhu Minglang didn’t have time to appreciate this magnificent flying effect; he focused all his attention, began to control all the Sword Souls that had materialized, and had them line up in a single file like a row of wild geese!

“Heavenly Goose Sword!”

When the geese lined up in the heavens, all the Sword Shadow Sword Souls stabbed fiercely toward the fierce and domineering Divine Bull Ganggang.

“CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!!!!”

The Heavenly Goose Sword repeatedly struck the same part of Divine Bull Ganggang, but all the Sword Souls were repelled, emitting a piercing sound like metal shattering.

The Sword Spirit Dragon’s true body was at the very end of the line of the Heavenly Goose Sword. When it finally thrust forcefully into Divine Bull Ganggang’s body, Ganggang’s mottled tough skin was eventually pierced, although it was just a small part, but it was enough to do a lot through this wound!

“Wind Snail Sword!” Zhu Minglang cried out loudly.

His fingers spun swiftly, and at the same time, the Sword Spirit Dragon Sword’s body also began to spiral. It could be seen that the previously deflected Sword Souls quickly joined at the tail of the Sword Spirit Dragon and lined up once again as the Heavenly Goose Sword.

Just the Sword Spirit Dragon’s spinning alone was indeed not powerful enough, but when hundreds or thousands of swords linked up in the single file of geese in the heavens and resonated in rotation, the force generated by the Wind Snail Sword was truly terrifying!

The Wind Snail was elongated, resembling a rainbow piercing the skies. The base of the spiral wind was as large as a mountain base, with the Sword Spirit Dragon’s sword tip at the head. The energy channeled through the spiral was focused on such a fine point; what couldn’t it bore through??

“CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!!!!!”

The body of Divine Bull Ganggang, initially with just a small sword incision, was quickly covered in shattered tough skin, followed by its body being penetrated by the Heavenly Goose Sword!

When all the Sword Souls flashed past and the Wind Snail swept over, the Divine Bull Ganggang no longer possessed the might of a Celestial Respect. It was sliced into several chunks, falling amidst the splattered blood, its hard shells scattering like broken stones!

Zhu Minglang walked over and glanced at the chunks of beef scattered all around, unconsciously touching his nose.

It was fine; the larger pieces were hard to chew anyway — it was like freshly cut Divine Beef. Maybe marinate it to enhance the flavor even further?

The meat of the Divine Bull was rare; Zhu Minglang reserved some for himself, planning to take it back to share with his drinking buddies. This type of meat was simply perfect for accompanying drinks.

The rest was neatly packed, preparing to improve his rapport with Xuanlong the next day. As for whether to add seasoning, Zhu Minglang pondered for a while and eventually decided that beef of such caliber probably didn’t need any condiments.

Although it was a swift and efficient hunting battle, the time spent traveling to the mountain, making the kill, and returning to the original spot had not been insignificant.

Zhu Minglang arrived at the cliff face and took a short rest. Before long, it was time for his meeting with Xuanlong.

Cai You had also returned; true to her reputation as an excellent hunter, she had brought back double the amount of Washing Heart Grass they had initially gathered and attentively ground them before handing the powder to Zhu Minglang.

…

Glancing at the sky, seeing it was nearly sunset, Zhu Minglang yawned. He really hadn’t slept well these days.

Yet, as soon as he heard the faint sound of footsteps coming from the cliff face, Zhu Minglang was instantly invigorated, his spirits lifted immediately!

Xuanlong arrived as promised.

This time, it wasn’t as cautious and wary as before.

It climbed down and stood in front of Zhu Minglang.

Zhu Minglang wasted no words and presented the soaked medicinal herbs to Xuanlong.

Xuanlong extended its tongue, gently curling the mashed herbs into its mouth.

“You’ve made a good recovery. In a few more days, the poison should be completely cleared,” Zhu Minglang said to Xuanlong.

Xuanlong was burying its head in eating the herbs. As a carnivorous creature, it found the herbs difficult to swallow and rolled them into its esophagus very slowly.

“Is the medicine too bitter? How about pairing it with some freshly sliced tender beef?” Zhu Minglang knew Xuanlong was hungry and thus appropriately dangled the temptation of delicious food.

Xuanlong tilted its head and saw the long strip of tender meat in Zhu Minglang’s other hand that seemed to appear out of nowhere. The meat was clearly lean and tasty and had been delicately processed to avoid any bloodiness.

Xuanlong only liked to eat meat, not bloody meat, so when it saw this string of delicious meat, it immediately couldn’t help but draw closer.

Just as Xuanlong was about to bite down, its instinctive guard and wariness made it suddenly retreat a few steps. It snorted, its silver-red eyes staring at Zhu Minglang as if it suspected Zhu Minglang was plotting some kind of scheme.

“If you’re not confident, you can petrify me first, then you can eat at your leisure,” Zhu Minglang said to Xuanlong.

Xuanlong indeed had the intention of using its petrification power, but after hearing what Zhu Minglang said, it dismissed the idea.

“If you don’t want to eat, you can just finish these herbs. Look, your hind leg is still swollen,” Zhu Minglang said.

Xuanlong approached again. Judging from the past two days, the herbs were definitely not a problem.

It continued to roll a few mouthfuls of herbs and then swallowed them with difficulty, while Zhu Minglang intentionally swung the divine beef tantalizingly close to Xuanlong’s mouth.

At first, Xuanlong refused, nudging the delicious beef away with its nose, but after several attempts, Xuanlong couldn’t resist the cunning acts of humans!

It started by carefully biting into a piece, chewing it, and its dual-pupil eyes rippled like water, then it squinted its eyes, savoring the wonderful sensation of the meat.

Soon, Xuanlong bit off an even larger piece, stuffing its dragon mouth full with the divine beef to savor the chewing over and over, until the flavor fully spread in its mouth, completely mashed and only then did it swallow.

“Mew~~”

Xuanlong let out a comfortable cry, shaking its handsome head.

It immediately turned its head and swallowed the entire half-meter-long piece of beef in one gulp, bulging out its dragon cheeks while chewing and squinting its eyes.

Seeing Xuanlong enjoy its food so much, Zhu Minglang slowly extended his hand to stroke its forehead.

Xuanlong did not avoid it and continued to chew the beef contentedly.

The marks of a Dragon Shepherd’s contract are branded on the forehead of the dragon, and now was an excellent opportunity to tame Xuanlong, especially since it allowed Zhu Minglang to touch its forehead.
