At this moment, Li Yi was hiding inside the grotto heaven of the Purple Gold Gourd. Although he was already screened from the outside world, he could still infer some situations outside through the condition of the Purple Gold Gourd. Initially, the situation was indeed perilous, as the temperature inside the small world of the grotto heaven rose sharply.
But as the temperature later receded, he let out a sigh of relief.
As long as the Purple Gold Gourd didn’t melt, he would be fine; otherwise, if he were exposed again, he would truly have no escape.
About an hour passed.
Outside, there was still no movement, and everything seemed to have returned to normal.
However, Li Yi still did not hurry to leave. He wanted to wait for the dragon to sleep again, and also needed to let the tree spirit of the Golden Apple Tree be sure he had been melted by dragon flames. Only then could he find a chance to escape.
"Might as well wait a few more days to see. After all, I’ve already picked a Golden Apple, and the goal this time is complete. I have plenty of time to slowly wear down the outside dragon and the tree spirit." Li Yi was very cautious, so he simply settled in the Purple Gold Gourd. He had plenty of supplies on hand and didn’t worry about food and drink.
At this time, he took out a Golden Apple from the Five Elements Bracelet.
It felt heavy in his hand, truly like it was cast from gold, and it exuded an irresistible enticing fragrance that made one eager to take a bite and taste what it was like.
Li Yi stared at the Golden Apple in his hand for a moment, finally resisting his inner impulse, and then looked at the mutant beast, Good Wings, which was recuperating inside the grotto heaven of the Purple Gold Gourd.
"As usual, you try it first." He stepped up to the severely injured Good Wings and generously handed out the Golden Apple in his hand.
Good Wings had previously been parasitized by the black hair that descended from the dark sky, causing half of its body to be destroyed. Although Xuan Yuezi cast a spell to stabilize its injuries, removing the risk of death, its essence of Qi and blood had been taken, leaving it extremely weak at the moment. Even with the constitution of a mutant beast, it would take a long time to recover.
Good Wings gazed at the Golden Apple in Li Yi’s hand, also drawn by that inviting fragrance, and without any hesitation, stretched its neck and swallowed it in one gulp.
Seeing this, Li Yi slowly stepped back a few steps, wanting to observe the changes in Good Wings after it consumed the Golden Apple.
He dared not eat things from the Dark World recklessly, just like with the previous Time Erosion Pill, someone needed to help test it first before he dared to consume it. If he inadvertently consumed something harmful and lost his life, it would be too unjust.
Moreover, even if a Golden Apple were wasted, it wouldn’t matter. Li Yi still had seven more in his hand, enough for his own use.
Once the Golden Apple was consumed,
a miraculous event occurred.
Good Wings was enveloped in a faint golden light, under which a dark aura was dispelled from its body. At the same time, it couldn’t help but open its mouth and vomit, regurgitating a mass of hair. That mass of black hair, like a living creature, began to crawl and wriggle on the ground.
"Is there still some black hair not cleaned out?" Seeing this, Li Yi’s face involuntarily changed.
Then, he saw that the black hairball cracked open with a slot, and a bizarre, bloodshot eye emerged from it. It seemed very angry and leaped, quickly shooting out, attempting to parasitize on Li Yi’s body.
But Good Wings let out a screech and with its sharp claws, stomped the eerie hairball underfoot. Alongside the emission of golden light, a strange energy spread, causing the black hairball to rapidly lose its vitality, subsequently withering away amidst a strange scream.
This sinister little object seemed to die, the black hair rapidly withered, then transformed into a plume of black smoke and completely dissipated without a trace.
"The Golden Apple can indeed cleanse the curse of the Evil God." Li Yi observed, confirming the first efficacy of the Golden Apple.
Then, he saw that the previous wounds on Good Wings were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. New flesh and bones were growing, and the skin scale armor was restored. In just ten seconds, it was completely healed, and its aura was rapidly strengthening.
Within less than a minute, the depletion of Good Wings’ vigor was swept away, and it returned to its peak state.
Good Wings let out a high-pitched screech, flapping its wings, appearing very happy.
"Not only can it dispel curses, but it also regenerates flesh and bone, immediately healing injuries... let’s continue to observe and see if there are any other effects." Li Yi continued to watch.
He thought the Golden Apple’s effect should not be limited to this.
Because the Golden Apple Tree grew on a dragon, and the fruit bore was from absorbing a dragon’s essence of Qi and blood. If it were only , it would be somewhat disappointing.
Li Yi noticed that not only was Good Wings enveloped in golden light, but even its scales, claws, and skin seemed to be influenced by some power, beginning to turn entirely golden, along with a special aura emanating from it, which was sacred and eternal, bearing the might to annihilate all evil.
"This is... the Bloodline Power."
He felt the fluctuations of this power, without a doubt, it was the power of the bloodline.
After consuming the Golden Apple, Good Wings acquired the bloodline power of that dragon, much like when Li Yi had awakened the Divine Bloodline.
Moreover, Good Wings’ body seemed to have undergone some changes, awakening some of the dragon’s abilities. At this moment, it let out a cry, opened its mouth abruptly, and unexpectedly spewed out a pale golden flame. The temperature of this flame was likewise astonishing. Although not comparable to that of the outside dragon, it could still incinerate Golden Core Cultivators, extraordinarily domineering.
