C482 Life-prolonging Item(2)
Ekdo chuckled and did not resist. He let Anya play with his hair and beard.
Although Ekdo had been trying hard to pretend that he did not care, I could still catch his occasionally gloomy gaze. But I dare not mention what happened on that ship, even though I really want to know.
Anya shaved Ekdo's beard and smoothened his messy hair. After carefully looking at it for a while, she smiled and said, "Sure enough, we are not as ugly as he is."
Ekdo immediately revealed a frivolous smile, "Beautiful sister, do you like me? Why don't you marry me."
Anya stood up, "If you want to be my man, you have to win the bet with me."
I couldn't help but feel embarrassed. I was the one who won the bet with Anya. And more than once.
"Bet?" Ekdo's eyes lit up, "Then let's bet!"
Anya sneered, "You don't have the capital to bet, so I can't be bothered with you."
Ekdo also stood up, "Okay, once we leave this place, gambling is a small problem. You are not allowed to act shamelessly. If you lose the bet, you have to marry me. Demon Dragon, where's your boat?"
Anya smiled and said," We do not have a boat. "
" Then how did you guys get here? " Ekdo was very surprised.
"Water," Dukat Kane moaned weakly.
"Master, there is dragon blood in the water. You can't drink it." Ekdo frowned.
"Dragon blood?" Anya's eyes suddenly lit up, "Where is it? Quickly bring me there."
Ekdo looked at Anya in surprise and suddenly smiled, "If you win the bet, I will bring you there."
Anya frowned and pointed to a tree in front of her. "Guess how many leaves there are on this tree. Whoever guessed the closest will win."
Ekdo opened his mouth wide and shook his head after a while. "I can't guess. Could you guess?"
Anya smiled and said, "Then you admit defeat."
Ekdo looked at the tree unwillingly and said, "I guess there are twenty-three thousand."
Anya clapped and laughed, "I guess there are 32163 pieces."
Ekdo sneered, "Count!"
The two of them took off the leaves one by one and counted.
Looking at the two of them, I could not help but shake my head helplessly. Anyway, it's still noon, so it's impossible for Duriel to come out. Just let them do whatever they want. With this kind of nonsense, perhaps Ekdo's heartache will be temporarily alleviated.
Dukat Kane said sulkily, "This old man is about to die. You guys still have the mood to mess around."
I peeled the juicy fruit and handed it to Dukat Kane. The old man did not stand on ceremony and ate them one by one. Under the influence of Duriel's cold air, these fruits were not bad for the past few days.
I carried Marina into the shade of the tree and peeled the fruit to her mouth. Marina, however, did not open her mouth again. I looked at Ekdo and Anya who were plucking the leaves and felt a wave of frustration in my heart. I can't kiss Marina in front of them.
The sun gradually set in the west. A lush and verdant tree was plucked by two fellows until it was bare. There were more than thirty thousand leaves. Ekdo lost.
Ekdo had nothing to say about his loss. He could only bring Anya to the freshwater lake where the Demon Dragon was hidden.
Anya scooped up a bowl of water and poured out some medicine into it, shaking it non-stop. Ekdo directly picked up the water and drank it.
"If there is dragon blood, drinking it like this will cost you your life. Look, there are no creatures in the water. You are quite bold." Anya said coldly.
"If you want to die, you would have died long ago. It's fine." Ekdo picked up the water and drank a few more mouthfuls.
"Ah!" Anya suddenly cried out in shock, "It really is dragon blood! Although it is very faint, it really is dragon blood!"
At this moment, Anya no longer paid attention to anyone. She took out the cauldron and began to extract the dragon blood in the water.
The Demon Dragon had already died for more than a year. This dragon blood was actually still there? I looked at the vast waters and indeed, there were no signs of life. But when I left, the lake was filled with dead fish. Even if the water was alive, it would be contaminated by fish corpses. The lake should be filled with duckweed. Could it be that after I left, someone came to clean up the lake? I thought of Ekdo's words. Talid's ability has something to do with the lake water. I also thought of Soutar's progress. There was once a warship from Kurast that fished up my armor. My every move is under the surveillance of others? I couldn't help but feel a chill down my spine.
I didn't know much about the effects of the dragon blood until Brodie used the phoenix blood to concoct the medicine. Only then did I know that it was a treasure that could enhance the cultivation of experts.
Ekdo had taken the Flame Dragon's Heart before, so he naturally wouldn't be poisoned. The polluted lake water had instead become his life-prolonging item. But what did Talid and Soutar rely on to suppress the intensity of the dragon blood and promote the advancement of their cultivation? When I thought of the holy armor on Soutar's body, I was almost certain. He had once come to Dragonflame Island and relied on the dragon blood to increase his strength.
Anya was concentrating on extracting the dragon blood. It seemed that as long as she could extract the dragon blood, everything was no longer important to her.
"Demon Dragon, why did you not ask why I ended up here?" Ekdo was silent for a while before asking in a low voice.
I was slightly shocked. Although I deliberately avoided it, I still had to bring up this topic. "Patriarch Uma has already told me."
Ekdo was silent again.
"Don't we need Oak Sage today?" I asked carefully.
Ekdo smiled, "I don't have this skill today."
We were silent again. Although we had a lot to say, we didn't know where to start.
