Struck gold!
All I did was catch a Tang Monk, but it came with bonuses like Ginseng Fruits, Demon Emperor Pills, and Nine Revolutions Golden Pills? For the Fire Flood Dragon, this can be said to be a windfall.
It’s like modern people buying a second-hand car and finding hundreds of thousands of cash hidden inside—a surprise, just like finding a treasure.
"Give them to me, give me all of them!" The Fire Flood Dragon, unable to contain its impatience, looked at Jiang Liu and said hurriedly.
Ginseng Fruits, Nine Revolutions Golden Pills, and especially that magical Demon Emperor Pill—the Fire Flood Dragon felt an insatiable craving for them!
"I can’t just give them to you, what if you still eat me after I do!?" Jiang Liu flipped his hand, pocketing the Demon Emperor Pill as well and shook his head as he spoke.
"Don’t worry, my goal is for longevity and immortality. If you give me those things, and I can live forever, why would I still need to eat you!?"
The Fire Flood Dragon had a fiery temper, but the treasures Jiang Liu carried forced it to suppress its eagerness, trying to speak to Jiang Liu as calmly as possible.
"Empty promises. You say you won’t eat me, but that’s just your word. Who knows if you’ll keep your promise!" Jiang Liu shook his head, still appearing very distrustful.
Delaying tactics!
Why was Jiang Liu showing off? Taking out things like the Nine Revolutions Golden Pills one by one, he could delay time.
Now, pocketing those items, apart from him, no one else could take them out from his storage space, which also served to delay time.
Eating him granted longevity, but did the Fire Flood Dragon really not want the Ginseng Fruits, Nine Revolutions Golden Pills, and the Demon Emperor Pill?
Jiang Liu didn’t believe it would easily let go.
Since it couldn’t bear to, it naturally wouldn’t kill him. As long as it didn’t kill him, he could figure out ways to delay time.
"Dammit!"
The Fire Flood Dragon was indeed trying to be patient with Jiang Liu for the sake of the treasures, but seeing him hesitate and unwilling to trust or relinquish the items, the Fire Flood Dragon’s rage started flaring up even more.
A strong and scorching aura spread from the Fire Flood Dragon’s body, making him feel like an active volcano erupting. The water surrounding the Flood Dragon Pool was even starting to boil gradually.
"Monk, you have no right to bargain with me. Hand them over when I tell you to, or I’ll eat you now!"
The Fire Flood Dragon was impatient, even more so than Sun Wukong, with no patience to wrangle with Jiang Liu any longer, it said angrily.
"I’ve said it before, if I can ensure my survival, then I’ll give the items to you. With you looking like this, how can I trust you?" Jiang Liu retreated a little, feigning a half-real, half-fake fearful demeanor as he spoke to the Fire Flood Dragon.
"Well then, I don’t want those items! I’ll just eat you now!"
The exceedingly irritable and impatient Fire Flood Dragon furrowed its brows tightly. Making a hard decision, it truly abandoned the idea of the Ginseng Fruits and lifted its hand, striking down toward Jiang Liu.
For a being of the Great Luo Golden Immortal level, this palm strike felt as though the whole universe was pressing down, leaving no room to dodge.
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Liu raised his hand and quickly drew the Nine-Ring Staff from his storage space.
With the Nine-Ring Staff taken out, an invisible barrier appeared, completely enveloping Jiang Liu.
With a thud, the Fire Flood Dragon’s palm landed on the barrier of the Nine-Ring Staff, causing it to tremble slightly.
But it was not broken! Continue your saga on freewebnovel
"Eh? Another treasure!?" Seeing the Nine-Ring Staff that Jiang Liu took out could block its attack, the Fire Flood Dragon’s eyes lit up.
Initially, it had only wanted to capture Jiang Liu for the longevity effect of his flesh, but who knew that he would carry so many treasures with him?

"Hey, Monkey, if you don’t come and save me, your master is going to be done for!"
Putting aside the Fire Flood Dragon’s surprise and delight, after taking out the Nine-Ring Staff, Jiang Liu spoke to Sun Wukong through the disciple dialogue box.
Nine-Ring Staff (Epic Level) (Sealed): No level requirement, Attack+??? Special Effect: Can activate an active effect to exempt attacks from targets below level 90 for 300 seconds. Note: Equipped with soul binding upon use, the rest of the equipment is under a seal, retaining only the special effect.
With the Nine-Ring Staff in a sealed state, it still retained its special effect, which could exempt the Fire Flood Dragon’s attacks, but it could only last for 300 seconds.
If this duration also passed, he might have no choice but to put on his Brocade Kasaya and hope for resurrection after being killed.
"I’m coming, I’m on my way, Master. Bajie, Junior Brother Sha, Little White Dragon, and Red Boy are all searching for you in different places!" Following Jiang Liu’s message, Sun Wukong soon replied.
"Eh? Red Boy is also here?" Hearing Sun Wukong’s words, Jiang Liu was slightly taken aback, exclaiming in surprise.
"Yeah, the son of my big brother is indeed led by righteousness!" Sun Wukong’s response was clearly filled with pride.
Red Boy voluntarily coming to help was both surprising and touching.

"But, with Red Boy already here, why haven’t Demon King Ox and his wife come?" Although the appearance of Red Boy touched Jiang Liu’s heart, another thought quickly made him feel even more astonished.
What’s going on? Could it be that Demon King Ox is a coward, valuing his own life over his son’s?
Bang Bang Bang!
The continuous attacks fell one after another upon the barrier of the Nine-Ring Staff, causing violent vibrations and ripples with the assault of the Fire Flood Dragon.
However, despite the ripples crossing over, the barrier remained firm, showing no sign of collapsing.
Despite the Flood Dragon’s strength, it was only level 88, and the Nine-Ring Staff could completely negate attacks below level 90.
"It won’t do, who knows when Wukong will be able to come, what if the effect of the Nine-Ring Staff wears off, then what? Do we really have to rely on the resurrection effect of the Brocade Kasaya?"
Watching the Fire Flood Dragon’s attacks fall like a tempest, and the time of the special effect of the Nine-Ring Staff steadily dropping, Jiang muttered to himself with apprehension.
Having journeyed in the world of Journey to the West for over a year, Jiang knew much about this world.
For instance, revival with a Soul-Returning Pill requires one to maintain a whole body.
Although the Brocade Kasaya could resurrect someone, if he were to be eaten by the Fire Flood Dragon, could he still be revived?
Jiang himself was not absolutely certain...
After pondering in silence for a moment, Jiang promptly made up his mind. He couldn’t rely on the special effect of the Brocade Kasaya; he had to consider other means.
He reviewed his skill list carefully and went over his equipment list thoroughly but found no good solution.
Then, Jiang opened his inventory space and carefully examined the various items within.
His eyes suddenly lit up.
Divine Medicine!
With the ability to negate 90% of the cooldown time, he could use Silencing Zen every 3 seconds, silencing for 2 seconds, and in between, could he buy some time by interjecting the Sheep Transformation Technique control skills?
Of course, there was also another unassuming stone that reassured Jiang even more.
The Random Teleportation Stone, that’s the real lifesaver, isn’t it?
If the special effect of his Nine-Ring Staff wore off and Sun Wukong had not yet arrived, he would have to use this to escape!
Indeed, having traveled so far, he still had many means to protect himself!
Phew...
Jiang’s gaze settled on the Random Teleportation Stone, and then he took out this unprepossessing stone. With not much time left of the Nine-Ring Staff’s special effect, he prepared to activate the stone’s teleportation ability and flee when suddenly, a long tail flame appeared in the sky.
This streak of light, just like a meteor falling, headed straight for the Fire Flood Dragon.
Sensing the incoming attack, the Fire Flood Dragon turned its head and punched towards the streak of light.
With a ’bang’, the Fire Flood Dragon stood unmovable.
Looking at the Samadhi True Fire clinging to his fist like a parasite, the Fire Flood Dragon slightly frowned, shook his hand, and extinguished the flames instantly.
As a descendant of the Ancient Dragon Clan, the mighty Samadhi True Fire did not affect him much.
Besides, his cultivation level was higher!
"What a formidable creature!" The Fire Flood Dragon remained unscathed, but Red Boy was sent flying, doing a backflip in mid-air and landing on the ground, wiping the blood from his mouth. As he faced the Fire Flood Dragon, particularly seeing his normally invincible Samadhi True Fire extinguished, it gave him a grave expression.
This was the first time he had encountered someone unharmed by the Samadhi True Fire.
"Red Boy, get out of here, you’re no match for him!" Jiang, seeing that it was Red Boy who had found him first, urgently shouted, his voice filled with worry and trepidation.
Although Red Boy was talented, he was only at the Heavenly Immortal Realm while the Fire Flood Dragon was at the Great Luo Realm; their strengths were worlds apart.
His greatest trump card, the Samadhi True Fire, was ineffective, and staying here meant certain death!
"I won’t leave! I am not one to fear death! Holy Monk! I will definitely save you!" Red Boy exclaimed loudly, his Red Tassel Spear in hand.
...
Meanwhile, elsewhere, Demon King Ox and Princess Iron-Fan were flying through the sky at high speed.
Suddenly, Princess Iron-Fan’s complexion slightly changed, "Oh no, my lord, I sense that the Holy Infant is injured!"
