Chapter 231 Avenging Him
"My father was a very good cook, but he went to the island where the dragon lived in search of the Rejuvenating Herb. That dragon was too cruel. When it saw that my father wanted to find the Rejuvenating Herb, it killed him," Li Dayi said angrily.
“My father and a friend were both highly skilled in martial arts, but they still couldn’t escape the clutches of that dragon. He died because of the Rejuvenating Herb. I remember he told me before he left that he wanted me to open this restaurant. Although we don’t have many dishes, they are all very expensive, so we haven’t had much business. As you can see, you are my second table of customers,” Li Dayi continued. He noticed that He Fei and Chen Feng both seemed very interested.
"Did your father tell you that someone would come?" Chen Feng was very surprised, as if it were destined.
"No, my father only told me that if anyone wanted to avenge him, I must swear allegiance to him to the death. He also gave me two invisibility cloaks and some talismans to enhance my strength so I could avenge him. My father barely escaped after being injured by the dragon, said these words, and then passed away."
Hearing him say that, He Fei immediately agreed, "Then the rules in your shop were also set by your father, so you've been waiting for us all this time."
"No, I'm just waiting for someone who can avenge my father. Unfortunately, besides your servant, it's just you guys; no one else has come."
The boss then told Chen Feng and the others about the dragon and some of its locations.
Chen Feng and He Fei readily agreed.
Li Dayi chuckled behind him. "These young people... they'll probably give up now," he said, stroking the big black dog's fur.
The area surrounding the Poison Dragon Pool is a swamp teeming with all sorts of poisonous insects, snakes, and ants.
Most of the monsters in this area are poisonous insects, some of which have cultivated for a hundred years and reached the early stage of Foundation Establishment.
The swamp was shrouded in a highly poisonous purple miasma, the ground was barren, and the mud pits that could be found everywhere were brownish-black in color, similar to the surrounding surface. If you accidentally stepped into one, you would die.
He Fei's lightness skill was not very good, so Chen Feng and she walked with great difficulty. Even if the ground under their feet became slightly loose, she would have to pull her feet back.
Fortunately, I learned the art of lightness, so walking doesn't take as much effort as before.
They were wearing tattered, dirty cloaks.
When Li Dayi took out the two cloaks, he touched them again and again with a reluctant expression before solemnly handing them over. Wearing them would make one invisible, but would slow one's movement and prevent one from attacking others.
That's why they can now walk safely across this miasma-filled swamp without worrying about being attacked by monsters.
After taking the pills that He Fei had made herself, they were immune to all poisons for five hours. Therefore, they no longer needed to worry about the poisonous gas here. All they needed to do was rush to the Poison Dragon Pool and kill the dragon.
Their attention was focused on the road beneath their feet, and they did not notice the numerous figures flying on swords in the sky.
Poison Dragon Pool is located in the very center of the swamp. Although the name is terrifying, it is actually just a deep pool with clear blue water. The water is so clear that you can't see the bottom. If you look into it, you feel that the bottom of the pool is unfathomable. The miasma stops about a hundred meters away from the pool, as if it is blocked by some strange force and can no longer enter.
According to Li Dayi's description, the dragon was located on the western side of the Poison Dragon Pool.
Chen Feng took out a slightly faded talisman from her spatial storage. A boat was drawn on it in cinnabar, with some ancient characters on the side. She raised her hand and threw the talisman into the water, chanted two incantations, and the paper transformed into a white paper boat that could only hold one person.
I don't know what kind of paper it is, but it doesn't get wet when it gets wet.
They boarded the boat cautiously, afraid of accidentally stepping on it and creating a hole. These were disposable props; Li Dayi had given her two, one for the journey and one for the return trip.
This Li Dayi seems to have some hidden identity, otherwise how could he have these props? Although his spiritual skills are not high, they are incredibly useful.
The paper boat drifted leisurely on the water, and He Fei gazed into the distance, searching for the small island that Li Dayi had mentioned.
In the distance, the island's silhouette was faintly visible in the mist. He Fei was overjoyed; she had finally found it.
They quickened their pace and steered the small paper boat past.
Suddenly, the calm, still water surface was churned up into a towering wave.
A loud splash came from near the island.
They gripped the edge of the paper boat tightly, and the little paper boat was tossed high by the waves. At this moment, the boat transformed from the talisman showed its advantages. The bottom of the boat seemed to have suction cups, and it was able to stick tightly to the water. No matter how turbulent the waves were, the boat was as light as a weightless feather and always floated on the water. Not a single drop of water from the outside world was spilled in.
What amazing treasures! It's a pity I only have a few.
"Roar—" Accompanying the sound of water was a long, deafening roar that seemed to echo like a dragon's cry.
Could this be the dragon that Li Dayi was talking about?
He Fei and Chen Feng were rocking back and forth on the boat, and they had to keep an eye on what was happening ahead. Their eyebrows were almost furrowed together.
Because of the thin spiritual energy near the Poison Dragon Pool, very few high-level exotic beasts appear. However, this dragon is of a very high rank.
Could it be that he ate the face-changing herb?
Li Dayi once mentioned that the Face-Changing Grass blooms every sixty years and bears fruit every sixty years. The fruit of the Face-Changing Grass is called the Dragon-Calling Fruit, which is exceptionally fragrant. Beneath the Poison Dragon Pool, there lies a lurking dragon, sleeping in the deep abyss at the bottom of the pool. Whenever the Face-Changing Grass bears fruit, it will be awakened by the fragrance of the fruit, break out of the water, and seek out the fruit to eat.
Such a once-in-a-century opportunity, could it be that they stumbled upon it? What kind of incredible luck is this?
As Chen Feng predicted, he followed the waves, rising and falling, until he finally reached the shore.
The situation on the shore then became completely clear.
A fierce wind was blowing on the shore, and dark clouds covered the sky. A silver-scaled dragon had half its body above the water and was roaring with its head raised.
The island was already a tiny place, but the dragon's movements caused the ground to tremble continuously. He Fei looked up at the dragon, which was as tall as a seven-story pagoda, and this was only half its length. This dragon was probably quite powerful.
He Fei felt she wanted to get her hands on the Youth-Changing Grass too. She'd leave the Flood Dragon to Chen Feng; after all, He Fei couldn't be of any help.
This plant bears four crystal-clear fruits, which are incredibly tempting.
As expected, the face-changing herb has borne fruit.
He Fei ignored the dragon's situation and ran towards the face-changing herb. Delay would only cause trouble; she had better dig it up quickly.
As she approached, she took out a small hoe and a Xuanbing box from her bag. She planned to dig up the King of Transformation Grass along with its fruit and take it back. The King of Grass was surely more powerful than the Grass Soldier.
As she approached the bushes, she was suddenly startled and, without thinking, decided to ignore it.
