...

Qin Fang really didn't expect such a melodramatic event to happen to him, and at such a coincidental time. He truly didn't know whether to cry or to go buy a lottery ticket!

The cliff was very deep; Qin Fang fell at least three hundred meters and still couldn't make out the environment below, only knowing it was a lush green.

In this season, the greenery outside the mountains had already become patchy, and the leaves had turned yellow and fallen.

But inside the mountain, it was still brimming with greenery. The deeper into the mountain you went, the greener it appeared—a primitive forest that had grown undisturbed for countless years.

Without the rope's exploration and constraint, Qin Fang's falling speed increased even more, with dozens of meters passing in the blink of an eye.

Facing such a crisis, Qin Fang's heart was filled with depression for the first time.

His thoughts became chaotic, recalling one by one the very important people in his life—the mother who struggled to raise him, the women who adored him.

Although he had encountered such wonders and possessed an almost undying life, it was clear he had still overestimated himself. A fall of several hundred to a thousand meters—let alone his mere thirty-something Life Points, even three hundred points would mean certain death.

Probably, upon hitting the ground, there would be a 'smack' followed by a scene of blood and gore, and then the insects and beasts of the forest would finish him off, leaving nothing behind.

"So hot~~"

The faster Qin Fang fell, the cooler the winds felt against his body.

Suddenly, Qin Fang felt as if his chest was on fire, terribly searing, as though his heart was being roasted by flames.

But...

Just when Qin Fang didn't understand what was happening, that scorching hot flow suddenly burst from his heart, broke through his skin, pierced through his clothes, and quickly condensed in front of him.

It was...

A silver-white serpent hovered in mid-air, maintaining the same descending speed as Qin Fang but moving about merrily, seemingly indifferent to the fact that it was in the sky.

Without a doubt, this was the creature that had lurked within him, neither dragon nor serpent.

Only Qin Fang was puzzled; he wondered why it had suddenly emerged at this moment. Ever since Qin Fang obtained it, it had always hidden inside him, drawing a great deal of his blood every day, sleeping after eating, and occasionally helping Qin Fang eliminate toxins entering his body. Otherwise, it did little else.

"What's it doing coming out now?"

Qin Fang was baffled in his heart, "Could it be that it knows I'm about to die and is preparing to flee? Talk about ungrateful..."

Actually, Qin Fang bore no resentment toward this little creature. Humans themselves had a saying that when disaster strikes, 'the birds in the same forest fly their separate ways,' let alone animals that survive based on instinct.

This little fellow had indeed been quite considerate to Qin Fang, having helped him a great deal. Drinking a bit of Qin Fang's blood each day wasn't much; just a few Superior Soup Dumplings would replenish it.

But...

Qin Fang clearly thought wrong, for this little fellow wasn't trying to escape at all, but rather—

"What the heck! Am I seeing things..."

Qin Fang suddenly felt as though he was dreaming; this little creature, which was less than ten centimeters long, suddenly puffed up like an inflated balloon when facing the wind, swelling to well over several hundred meters in an instant.

The ten-centimeter creature instantly became a nearly ten-meter-long giant serpent. Its silver body rapidly inflated, the once smooth skin sprouted clear silver scales, and the dragon horns on its head grew a lot bigger, actually starting to resemble a dragon.

There were four protrusions on the lower part of its body, resembling dragon claws, except no claws appeared; just four fleshy lumps sat there...

Not only that, but between those silver scales, a nearly transparent membrane grew, not very wide compared to the serpent's large body, but still about twenty centimeters across.

Mmm mmm mmm~~

The big fellow let out such a noise, sounding very strange as if it was not a sound Qin Fang recognized from any familiar animal.

But with a twist of its body in midair, it quickly moved under Qin Fang's feet, and with its extraordinarily thick back, it firmly caught Qin Fang.

Qin Fang had already grown accustomed to the sensation of constantly falling, and now, his feet suddenly found solid ground. In that moment, he truly didn't know how to describe what he was feeling.

"Damn, I didn't know you could play like that..."

Qin Fang was astonished by the scene before him, quite at a loss for words.

He had seen many bizarre things, but this was beyond his current understanding...

This big guy was his pet, an undeniable fact, but exactly what purpose this pet served, Qin Fang had never quite figured out because the little thing was too lazy, doing nothing but eating and sleeping, hardly showing its face. Qin Fang couldn't study it even if he wanted to.

But what Qin Fang never expected was that this pet, slim and trim as it had seemed, could suddenly become so enormous.

His feet stood on the little guy—no, at this point, it hardly looked like the slim little serpent from before. It was probably not much smaller than a Golden Crested Snake.

"Damn, I swear, I must be the first to play this way!"

There was a peculiar look on Qin Fang's face, but as long as he could escape this brush with death, he couldn't care less if his pet was an extraterrestrial being or not!

Moreover, the slight expansion of its thin membranes, which looked like wings, allowed him to glide through the air under the powerful gusts of wind.

After the initial fear and terror subsided, his heart steadied because he was surprised to find—Riding Skill could actually come in handy at a time like this.

Standing atop the serpent's back, Qin Fang could easily sense its every movement, and his body swayed with its wriggling, maintaining his balance securely.

With such "flying," Qin Fang's heart gradually settled. Even though he had no idea if he could survive, at the very end of his life, being able to pull off such a stunt seemed uniquely his. As some might say, if he died now, he would die without regrets...

"Haha, does this make me a knight from the legends, a Dragon Knight?"

Standing in the fierce wind, Qin Fang couldn't help but sigh. Although he had no idea if the creature below his feet could be considered a dragon, at least his current status was very similar to the Dragon Knights described in many novels.

From its appearance, this big guy was very similar to the Divine Dragons of legend, save for some clear differences in details, such as having flesh membranes that weren't typical of Divine Dragons.

Of course, no one has ever seen what a dragon really looks like, maybe it actually resembles what he's seeing now.

"Damn, maybe I'm really lucky this time and won't die..."

Even though Qin Fang and the big guy were still falling, their speed was significantly slower than a straight drop. And such a glide was gradually moving them away from the threatening cliff, descending toward the dense Primitive Forest below.

"Sigh, I've always forgotten to give you a powerful name, 'Xiaobai', 'Xiaoyin' are too common. You look just like a True Dragon, so from now on, you'll be called... Dragon King!"

Only now did Qin Fang remember that he hadn't given his big guy a name since he got it. It seemed there was no name more fitting than Dragon King.

Mmmmm~~

Hearing the name Qin Fang picked, Dragon King seemed very pleased, responding with such a sound, even performing a mid-air stunt, almost tossing the unprepared Qin Fang out.

"Damn it, stop messing around..."

Qin Fang was scared out of his wits. With Dragon King's huge body and strength, a casual toss could have thrown Qin Fang dozens of meters away.

In mid-air, with nothing to grab onto, it was difficult for Qin Fang to stabilize himself.

Mmmmm~~

Dragon King seemed a bit embarrassed. While gliding, it looked at Qin Fang with its big, innocent eyes, instantly melting his heart.

The cliffs above gradually disappeared into the clouds, and the forest below was getting closer, suggesting they were about to land.

"Dude, there seems to be a body of water over there. Can we land there? Maybe we can still be saved..."

The closer they got to the ground, the clearer the environment below became. Qin Fang looked around and noticed a silver reflection below, probably a body of water, and immediately shouted to Dragon King.

Of course, Dragon King might be named thus, but whether it was male or female, only the creature itself would know—Qin Fang had no clue.

Being a Dragon Knight was indeed thrilling, but it couldn't last forever. The ground was approaching fast, and despite Dragon King's large body possibly cushioning some of the impact, it didn't mean Qin Fang would necessarily survive the fall.

Landing on the water, however, offered a much higher chance of survival...

Mmmmm~~~

Dragon King couldn't speak, but it had the most direct connection with Qin Fang, understanding every word he said. It responded with such sounds, twisting its huge body and gliding toward the nearby water surface. Although they were limited in height, it appeared to be making a great effort, suggesting the difficulty of landing on water wasn't so great...(To be continued.
