Star Dragon God
The icy dragon claw tightly gripped the tail of the Snake King, the Wind Serpent, with its long sharp claws deeply embedded in the Wind Serpent's body. The Wind Serpent writhed in pain, but the more it struggled, the deeper and larger the wounds became, with blood flowing profusely.
At this moment, Huo Feng looked towards the unique large tree, where a group of children rushed over, angrily shouting, "Let go of the Serpent God."
Huo Feng looked at the group of children in confusion, unable to understand why they were so protective of the Wind Serpent and even referred to it as the Serpent God. Having just arrived in this unfamiliar land and finally encountering humans, Huo Feng did not want to create more trouble. Therefore, he signaled for the ice to temporarily spare the Wind Serpent's life and quietly waited for them to approach.
When the group of spear-wielding children reached Huo Feng, he was taken aback.
He saw that these "children" were dressed in clothes made of leaves, barely covering their important parts, and none were taller than fifty centimeters. Moreover, some of these "children" had thick beards on their faces, and their cultivation levels did not exceed Earth Vein Realm.
However, when they stood before Huo Feng, they seemed completely unafraid and were filled with extreme anger, ready to fight at any moment. At this time, one of the bearded individuals stepped forward and threw a spear at the ice. The spear struck ice's knee but merely made a clanging sound before falling to the ground, leaving ice's scales unharmed.
Yet that person showed no fear and shouted angrily, "You cannot harm the Serpent God; it is our guardian deity. Otherwise, we will fight you to the end even if it means exterminating our clan."
Upon hearing this, Huo Feng seemed to catch on to something; this group of "children" was willing to defend a magical beast like this. He spoke up, "We had no intention of harming it; it gathered its subordinates to trouble us."
"Hmph! Don't think I don't know; last time this big fellow and that butterfly killed many of the Serpent God's people," one of the more handsome "children" stepped forward indignantly.
"Friend, why do you protect a snake as if it's a god? It can hurt people!" Huo Feng expressed his confusion.
"Who are you calling friend? I am twenty-eight years old; you are still a friend," said the handsome "child," glancing at Huo Feng before continuing, "The Serpent God would never harm us; we have always lived together. It is because of the Serpent God that our tribe has not been destroyed. So if you dare harm it, we will fight you."
Taking advantage of ice's attention being diverted to the group of children, the Wind Serpent suddenly twisted its body and bit off its own tail, instantly appearing beside the "children." Blood continued to flow from its tail as it fixed its gaze firmly on ice.
Huo Feng was shocked by the Wind Serpent's decisiveness but was also astonished that the handsome individual claimed to be twenty-eight years old while looking like just a few years old child.
"They dare to break the tail of the Serpent God; we will fight them," said the Bearded Man.
Everyone threw their spears towards Ice and Huo Feng. Huo Feng felt a headache; although such attacks could not harm them at all, the humans they had finally encountered were now in conflict.
Huo Feng wrapped himself in his aura, and the spears flew towards them only to fall to the ground, unable to touch their bodies.
At that moment, the Wind Serpent, dragging its severed tail, stood in front of the group of "children," preventing them from making a foolish move. Seeing this situation, Huo Feng realized it was time to act, so he quickly spoke up: "Everyone, this was all a misunderstanding. We come from the Azure Wave Kingdom and are not familiar with the situation here. If you trust us, I am willing to make amends and help this Wind Serpent recover."
Hearing this, the people became even more furious. The Bearded Man said angrily, "We only trust each other. It was our own kind who wanted to destroy us, yet it was the Serpent God who protected us."
Huo Feng did not give up and continued, "Think about it; would we need to act this way if we wanted to deal with you? One of us could easily wipe you out, yet we need your help. So how about this: since you, Film and Television, do not trust us, let’s make a deal?"
The Bearded Man thought for a moment and realized this made sense. He warily looked at Huo Feng and asked, "What kind of deal?"
"We will first help this Wind Serpent restore its body. After that, you tell us how to get out of this plain area and reach your Wall of Calamity City. How does that sound? Otherwise, I estimate it will take a long time for this Wind Serpent to recover, which will also affect its cultivation," Huo Feng proposed.
"Why should we believe that you won't harm the Serpent God afterward?" The Bearded Man still did not trust Huo Feng.
At that moment, the Wind Serpent suddenly stepped forward. It then turned around and seemed to communicate something to the group that Huo Feng considered "children." The Bearded Man suddenly changed his tone: "Alright, we will tentatively trust you; I hope you keep your word."
Ice said to Huo Feng, "Hehe! It still relies on me for success. I negotiated with that Wind Serpent, and it agreed."
Ice stepped forward and waved its claws at the severed tail of the Wind Serpent. A layer of light blue Ice Flower froze the wound, immediately stopping the bleeding.
After doing this, Ice returned to Huo Feng's side. Huo Feng took out a jade bottle and then cut his finger to let a drop of Blood of the Earth fall into the bottle. Ice also dripped a drop of its blood into the jade bottle, and the two bloods gradually merged together.
Huo Feng took the jade bottle to the Wind Serpent and poured the blended blood into its mouth.
After finishing these tasks, Huo Feng walked up to the Bearded Man, who still looked confused as he stared at Huo Feng.
Huo Feng then followed the instructions given by Ice: "Don't worry, with each drop of that blood it drinks, its tail will regrow, and it won't affect its cultivation. Without our help, it would take about a month for it to regrow, and it would impact its cultivation. You will see the results in ten days."
The Bearded Man looked at Huo Feng with skepticism before finally glancing at the Wind Serpent. The Wind Serpent kept shaking its head at him. The Bearded Man then said to Huo Feng, "Since the Serpent God trusts you, we will tentatively trust you as well. Come with me back to our dwelling, and I will tell you how to leave here in ten days."
Thus, they headed towards the giant tree, with Ice transforming into a non-descript form and following closely beside Huo Feng. The Wind Serpent trailed behind them.
On the way, the Bearded Man asked Huo Feng, "Are you curious why we are so short?"
Huo Feng nodded.
"Our tribe is called the Pocket Tribe. We only grow to this height; when we are born, we are no bigger than a mouse. Moreover, our tribe is very weak and has long suffered oppression and violence. Eventually, our ancestors migrated everywhere until they arrived at this place, where we made our home in that giant tree."
The Bearded Man gazed thoughtfully at the giant tree before continuing, "But we never expected that others would come here wanting to take over this land and would resort to violence against us. In the end, our Serpent God appeared and saved us. What we didn't expect was that it had been living in the heart of this tree all along. So later on, we lived together like friends."
Throughout the journey, Huo Feng quietly listened to the Bearded Man recounting the history of their tribe. Before he knew it, they had arrived at the base of the giant tree, and Huo Feng was immediately struck by the sight before him.
