Chapter 1659: Chapter 198 Giant Winged Ghost King_5
For a long time, the Pope took a deep breath, the light of the Divine Healing Technique gradually dispersing into the air. Ah Dai, back in Yun Ying’s hands, smiled slightly. The Pope said, "Alright, he’s fine now. He just needs some time to rest and let his spiritual power fully recover to return to his previous state. We’ve gained a lot today, having eliminated the Giant Winged Ghost King, one of the three Lords of the Undead. Let’s return to the base first, and once Ah Dai has recuperated, we shall continue our quest." The fact that Ah Dai had destroyed Harsfin, one of the three Lords of the Undead, greatly lifted his spirits, and he regained some of the confidence he had lost.
Three days later.
Ah Dai awoke from his coma, slowly opening his eyes, finding himself inside a tent. His memory still lingered on Harsfin’s sneak attack, stirring something in his heart, and he abruptly sat up. He moved his body, finding no discomfort other than a slight dizziness in his head. The True Qi within his body remained very active with no signs of anomaly. He muttered to himself, "Could it be that I didn’t die?" Recalling the scene of Harsfin’s ambush, Ah Dai couldn’t help but feel a deep hatred in his heart. It was all because he was too trusting of the enemy. He wondered how everyone else was doing. With Harsfin being so powerful, even the combined strength of the three Sword Saints might not be enough. In his worry, he floated to the ground, intent on stepping out to check, as the tent flap was lifted and Xuan Yue came in, carrying a basin of clear water.
"Ah! Ah Dai, you’re awake." Xuan Yue exclaimed with joy. She set the basin aside and threw herself into Ah Dai’s arms.
Holding Xuan Yue’s soft and delicate body, Ah Dai finally believed that he was indeed alive. Overwhelmed, he softly said, "Yue Yue, what happened? Did I not die that day?"
Xuan Yue raised her head with mild exasperation, lightly poking Ah Dai’s head with her soft hand, saying, "You, you’re really such a fool, falling for the enemy’s tricks again." Nestled in Ah Dai’s embrace, she recounted the events of that day. Ah Dai listened dazedly to Xuan Yue’s words and frowned, saying, "The Sky God helped me? Impossible."
Xuan Yue smiled, "Why not? Last time when you invoked the Nine Heavens God Thunder, it was the same situation. Do you know? When Harsfin ambushed you that day, not only did he break your Defence Aura, but even cracked your Giant Spirit Snake Armor. But his luck wasn’t good since the first place his triple punch hit was your chest where the Sword of Hades was wrapped with a leather bag. The Sword of Hades, worthy of being a top-level Divine Artifact, absorbed most of the attack for you. Perhaps it was this mix of grief and fury that called forth the Sky God’s assistance."
Ah Dai, utterly bewildered now, shook his head vigorously and said, "Let’s not think about it. If the Sky God truly aided me, he will surely appear again. It’s already early May now. Tonight I will meditate for a night. Tomorrow we will immediately head to the Bone Dragon Territory. The ominous premonition in my heart seems clearer, as if something is about to happen soon. It’s best to quickly eliminate the Church of the Dark Saint so I can be at ease."
Xuan Yue nodded and said, "Come, wash your face first. This clear water was carried over from the Tian Yuan Clan’s territory by our logistics support team, it’s very precious. That’s why I brought a little for you. I will go now to inform grandfather that you’ve awakened."
The following morning, after a night of meditation, Ah Dai had fully returned to his peak condition. The same team set out once more, their destination still the Bone Dragon Territory of the ninth gate.
Standing once again before that towering mountain, Ah Dai looked around and said to the Pope, "Grandfather, although the Bone Dragons are immune to magic, I think that, like the Fire Sprites, powerful magic impacts still threaten them to some degree. Once we reach the Bone Dragon Territory, I’d like to ask you and the four Red Robe Priests to launch a large-scale, high-intensity magic attack to completely suppress those Bone Dragons. Otherwise, if two hundred Bone Dragons attack us simultaneously, we will have a hard time handling it. There might be casualties."
