"Let's go!"

After saying that, Jiang Che urged the Heaven-slaying Spear beneath him. With a flash of golden light, he quickly approached Dragon Island.

As the distance between them closed, Dragon Island's specific features became increasingly clear in the sight of Jiang Che and Fang Yuan.

There weren't any particularly high peaks on Dragon Island; it was quite flat.

The forest that previously appeared like a blue wreath contained ancient trees entirely blue, resembling maple trees.

The entire Dragon Island was extremely quiet, devoid of the calls of birds and beasts.

"That is..."

At this moment, Fang Yuan, standing beside Jiang Che, looked up at the sky above Dragon Island in some astonishment.

They saw wisps of pale golden airflow rising from every part of Dragon Island, from trees to rocks, gathering slowly in mid-air and transforming into a faintly discernible golden dragon silhouette.

The dragon silhouette flashed and darted, swimming a few circles in the air before quickly dissipating.

However, in the next second, the pale golden airflow rose again, gathering into a dragon silhouette, and then dissipated once more...

"This island actually possesses the True Dragon Qi!"

Good, good, good, this time we're on the right path!

Staring intently at the dragon silhouette in the sky, Fang Yuan's eyes were filled with excitement, waves surging in his heart.

It seems there really is a treasure on this island. Big brother didn't lie to me.

Since this island possesses True Dragon Qi, it indicates that a true dragon once lived here for a long time.

All things on the island have thus been imbued with the True Dragon's aura, and despite the passage of countless years, the island still emits faint traces of True Dragon Qi.

"Big brother, let's hurry down."

Coming back to his senses, Fang Yuan couldn't wait, urging out loud.

Who knows what kind of treasure might exist in this place where a true dragon once lived!

"Don't rush; let's fly to the center of the lake first.

That place brims with Spiritual Qi, incredibly dense. The treasure's location is likely there!"

In contrast to Fang Yuan's excitement, Jiang Che, who already knew what treasures lay on the island, was exceptionally calm, shaking his head slightly.

Upon hearing this, Fang Yuan calmed down slightly and nodded.

A moment later, Jiang Che and Fang Yuan appeared above the lake.

Looking down

they saw an island the size of a soccer field appearing in the center of the lake.

The island's edges were shrouded in a thin mist, seemingly constrained by some force, with the mist lingering only at the island's periphery, not spreading outwards.

"There's actually another island here!!"

Jiang Che looked down at the island below, and the blood-red ancient tree at its center, somewhat astonished.

When they flew over, they hadn't seen this island.

Their view had been of nothing but the calm lake surface.

...It must be related to the mist around the island.

Jiang Che speculated in his heart.

Then, Jiang Che shifted his focus to the blood-red ancient tree at the center.

The tree was nine zhang tall, its trunk stout and gnarled, with two levels and four branches like dragon claws, its crown resembling a dragon's head roaring at the sky, the whole tree embodying the sacred form of a dragon ascending to heaven.

The entire body displayed a blood-red color, with four branches and a crown. Among the blood-red dragon-shaped leaves hung eight blood-colored fruits resembling infant dragons, lustrous and vibrant, as if they were living beings.

At the same time, the Dragon Blood Ancient Tree emitted a crimson spiritual light, spreading outwards, with scarlet dragon shadows constantly swimming around the ancient tree.

"This must be the Dragon Blood Ancient Tree, indeed a treasure tree capable of nurturing Dragon Blood Fruits; it truly possesses an extraordinary appearance!"

Jiang Che, observing the Dragon Blood Ancient Tree, couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

The Blue Flood Dragon King is indeed fortunate to have encountered this treasure tree so well-matched to him.

If not for the Dragon Blood Ancient Tree constantly producing Dragon Blood Fruits, this Blue Flood Dragon King would surely transform into a true dragon in the future.

"Haha, now I understand it all. I see why the Blue Flood Dragon King transformed; it relied on the Dragon Blood Fruits!"

Gazing down at the dazzling Dragon Blood Ancient Tree, Fang Yuan couldn't help laughing heartily.

It's known that every Dragon Blood Ancient Tree is a rare treasure, with only a tiny chance of forming when true dragon blood drips onto certain ancient treasure trees.

"These Dragon Blood Fruits are valuable..."

His gaze fixed on the Dragon Blood Fruits amid the branches and leaves, Fang Yuan's eyes betrayed a greedy gleam, with a thought of claiming them for himself.

At this moment, Jiang Che controlled the Heaven-slaying Spear, landing on the island.

"The Blue Flood Dragon King must have relied on these fruits to transform."

Jiang Che said to Fang Yuan, intending to walk towards the Dragon Blood Ancient Tree, but a figure beside him darted out ahead of him.

"Wait, big brother, let me handle such a small matter!"

Watching Fang Yuan's figure darting forward, Jiang Che felt exasperated. His little schemes were obvious—even wanting the entire thing for himself? Helping out?

If I don't intervene, these eight Dragon Blood Fruits on the tree would probably end up in the second one's stomach.

"Sqwawk~"

Seeing Fang Yuan approaching the Dragon Blood Ancient Tree, the little creature perched on Jiang Che's head became anxious, chattering incessantly, and rubbing its four little paws on Jiang Che's head, urging him on.

"Hehe, Little Zi, don't worry; your master won't let him succeed so easily!"

Jiang Che replied with a smile, focusing on Fang Yuan as lightning flashed in his eyes, ready to unleash thunder upon Fang Yuan's backside.

This second one does need some discipline; let him taste thunder's wrath since it's been a long time since I last struck him.

But before Jiang Che could attack, several loud booms erupted from the lake surface surrounding the island.

Boom Boom Boom!

The calm lake surface suddenly exploded, four towering water columns erupted skywards, droplets splashing everywhere, and immediately, four massive figures emerged from beneath the water.

Roar~

Four five-zhang-long Blue-Scaled Pythons, exuding a menacing aura, roared, their eyes fierce, opening their gaping maw filled with razor-sharp teeth to bite at Fang Yuan.

At this moment, Fang Yuan, delighted at the prospect of securing the Dragon Blood Fruit, nearly failed to react to this sudden attack, cursing inwardly at the last moment, hastily erecting a Spiritual Power Shield around himself, and retreated, trying to escape the serpents' bite.

Boom!

Though the four Blue-Scaled Pythons missed their bite, their bulging bodies still sent Fang Yuan flying a hundred meters away.

Unrelenting, the blue-scaled pythons summoned a massive volume of water, like a flood pouring down, charging at Fang Yuan, the fruit thief.

"Damn beasts, daring to disrupt my fruit plucking."

Seeing the Dragon Blood Fruit almost within reach, only to be thwarted by the Blue-Scaled Pythons, how could Fang Yuan not be enraged, ready to strike back fiercely.

With a blood-red shield defending against the incoming flood, Fang Yuan's eyes blazed with killing intent, and from his mouth, a blood-colored Bone Spear shot forth!
