LRAB Chapter 256 Nine-Headed Dragon
Chapter 256 Nine-Headed Dragon
Mengxuanjun's true form is the mysterious and unpredictable Dream Eater, a peculiar creature that feeds on the dreams of others.
Six months ago, it returned with Wu He Yi simply because it wanted to try an unusual flavor.
For Mengxuanjun, his daily staple food is a nightmare for people.
However, it will occasionally choose to savor some beautiful dreams.
It's important to know that when Mengxuanjun consumes other people's dreams, he can not only acquire some of their memories, but also use these memories to broaden his knowledge and enhance his strength.
However, during this six-month period, apart from a few children who were frequently troubled by nightmares, only the dreams of those suffering from serious illnesses could be described as nightmares.
But these are just small snacks, hardly enough to satisfy Mengxuanjun's enormous appetite.
Who would have thought that the main dish that truly delighted Mengxuanjun would be Wuheyi himself?
It turns out that Wu Heyi's dreams often contain many wonderful things, which allows Mengxuanjun to glimpse Wu Heyi's unknown past experiences.
One day, as Wu Heyi was once again immersed in his dreams, Mengxuanjun murmured softly:
Are you missing your old friends?
Upon hearing this, Wu Heyi slowly opened his eyes, his eyes gradually becoming moist.
He nodded slightly and replied with emotion:
"That's right. I've been away from my hometown for a long time, and at this moment, my longing for them is growing stronger."
After saying this, the two gently raised their wine glasses, clinked them together, and drank them down in one gulp.
Then they smiled at each other and began to speak freely, sharing their stories and thoughts.
Wu Heyi never dreamed that the first person he could confide in and have a heart-to-heart talk with would be Meng Xuanjun.
For a long time, he had accumulated countless stories and emotions that he wanted to tell, and at this moment, these words poured out of his mouth like a flood.
Sitting on the rooftop, Mengxuanjun leisurely sipped his drink, then suddenly seemed to remember something and asked:
"I heard that besides this main goal of your training and cultivation, you also have another important mission: to help a companion find a nine-headed soul beast. Is that true?"
While enjoying the delicious snacks that Mengxuanjun had brought, Wuhe nodded repeatedly, indicating that he agreed with this statement.
Mengxuan put down her drink, her expression turned serious, and she said solemnly:
"To be honest, I actually know a little about the whereabouts of that soul beast."
Upon hearing this, Wu Heyi abruptly raised his head, his eyes gleaming with a mixture of surprise and joy. But before he could rejoice for long, Meng Xuanjun added:
"However, I'm sorry to say, I'm afraid I won't be able to take you there myself."
Upon hearing this, Wu Heyi became instantly agitated and eagerly pressed for an answer:
"Why is this happening? We finally found a clue, are we just going to give up like this?"
Faced with Wu Heyi's urgent question, Meng Xuanjun took a deep breath and then slowly explained:
"To be honest, the reason I know where this soul beast is is entirely because I accidentally ate its dream when I was a child."
It was through that experience that I gained a deeper understanding of the human world and various other things. However, this spirit beast was far too powerful, especially one of its heads, which was practically my nemesis.
The primary ability possessed by that head was mental power, and the mental power displayed by just that one head far exceeded my limits.
"That's why it has caused you such deep psychological trauma!" Wu Heyi exclaimed with deep sympathy.
Mengxuan nodded slightly, indicating her agreement with Wuheyi's words, but then quickly shook her head!
"Before I had taken human form, when my strength had reached the level of 10 years, I mustered up the courage to challenge it again."
At the time, I was convinced that I was evenly matched with him and would definitely be able to defeat him, but I never expected that the ending would still be a crushing defeat.
As Mengxuan recounted this experience, a look of fear appeared on her face, as if the scene of that battle was still vivid in her mind.
Upon hearing this, Wu Heyi's eyes widened in astonishment.
It should be noted that Meng Xuanjun had not yet taken human form at that time, yet he possessed such a powerful 10-year soul power cultivation. His strength was probably even slightly inferior to that of the Titan Giant Ape.
Even so, he still couldn't defeat his opponent. Judging from Mengxuanjun's expression at this moment, the battle must have been decided in an instant, and he was easily defeated by his opponent.
Therefore, it can be inferred that the other party's cultivation level is at least 30 years, and may even be as high as 40 years or more.
Faced with such a terrifying and powerful enemy, is there really any hope of successfully killing him?
Wu Heyi frowned slightly, lost in deep thought.
He was single-mindedly focused on finding a powerful evolutionary path for Wu Duyan's unique martial soul. However, there were many options available, and while the Nine-Headed Dragon was undoubtedly the most outstanding choice, it was not the only one.
"If... well, just hypothetically, if I wanted to see that soul beast for myself, do you think it would be feasible?"
Wu Heyi raised his head, looked at Meng Xuanjun with sincere eyes, and asked cautiously.
Despite being extremely shocked by the unexpected request from the Wuheyi Association, Mengxuanjun pondered for a moment and gave his reply after careful consideration:
"Going to check on it wouldn't be a bad idea. In fact, the nine-headed dragon didn't show any obvious hostility towards humans."
Moreover, dozens of human tribes were able to establish themselves safely in the area surrounding its massive body!
"What? Someone actually established a tribe right next to it?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Heyi's eyes widened in disbelief, his mouth agape as if it could fit an egg.
That's right, that's exactly it!
Because wherever he was, all sorts of rare and exotic treasures sprang up and grew vigorously like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
This is why many humans began to choose to settle around its enormous body.
Mengxuan slowly recounted everything he knew, his tone carrying an undisguised sense of amazement and感慨:
"However, what is unexpected is that these people who happily settled here were completely unaware that they were actually just fat food secretly raised by that terrible nine-headed dragon!"
At this point, Mengxuanjun couldn't help but frown slightly, as if she felt pity for those poor people who were kept in the dark.
