"Wow, finally I don't have to get carsick anymore!" Ariel cheered and walked towards the other side first. She looked back at the two people holding hands and couldn't help but tease them.
"Speaking of which, isn't there something off about your relationship? I feel like I'm missing out!"
She ran back, took Jiang Kehan's other hand, and pulled the two of them to the other side.
The ball was held in the competition venue. For the Little Witch Preliminary Tournament, the Witch Organization specially built a one-time giant floating island complex.
Jiang Kehan looked amusedly at Ailier, who had grabbed her hand and started running wildly, and then looked around at the scenery in front of her.
She didn't have Qin Luoyu's authority to open the door to other people's homes at will, so the place she came out of was a specially set-up small parking island.
Many witches who have transformed into dragons can be seen soaring around. If you have a keen eye, you can also see that among these dragons, which are all different from the others, there are actually some ancient dragons that have been tamed.
However, the most eye-catching thing is Noah's Ark, which bears the name of the Whirlpool Society.
This is a colossal vessel resembling a sunken ship, covered in strange corals, with a giant bubble surrounding it, isolating the water within.
Jiang Kehan saw Xiao Ting standing at the bow of the ship with her hands in her pockets. Xiao Ting was also wearing an evening dress today, but something looked strange about her.
Suddenly, Xiao Ting noticed them too, waved with a smile, and blew out a few bubbles.
Jiang Kehan realized why she felt strange. Her lips twitched, and she didn't know what to say about this pretentious person.
The evening gown naturally didn't have pockets; it was purely an illusion created by Xiao Ting using spatial magic to show off.
Jiang Kehan waved to Xiao Ting, then introduced her to the other two, saying, "This is Xiao Ting, the captain of the Vortex Society. She is a formidable opponent."
Although she had already shared the information Wu Yuhan had given her, there was still a difference between the photos in the information and the real person.
For example, the so-called momentum.
“She looks like a formidable opponent.” Ariel nodded solemnly. Only when she actually met Xiao Ting did she understand why Jiang Kehan had mentioned this opponent so cautiously.
At the very least, Xiao Ting's unrestrained attitude and the almost vanished magic around her were enough to demonstrate her confidence and control over magic.
Even Ariel herself couldn't contain the dissipating magic power; this was considered a technique for distinguishing between a minor witch and a middle witch.
"What do you think?" she asked, glancing at Li Hui, only to find that Li Hui was staring blankly at another corner.
"Oh?" Li Hui snapped out of his daze, glanced at Xiao Ting casually, and didn't seem to care much. "She's a rather special opponent."
"But don't you think those people in the corner are more worthy of our vigilance?" She released Jiang Kehan's hand, crossed it in front of her chest, and looked somewhat serious.
"Their average strength will probably surprise everyone."
Jiang Kehan looked over curiously; this was the first time she had ever seen Li Hui treat his enemy so seriously.
In the corner, three witches were whispering to each other. What was most striking was that they were all wearing gray cloaks, which looked rough and were very different from the other bright and beautiful groups around them.
Seemingly noticing Jiang Kehan and the others' gaze, one of them lifted his hood and glanced at them.
The other person had dark red hair and strange eyes, like a black moon reflected in a deep sea of blood. They looked unusually calm, yet possessed an eerie charm.
She saw Jiang Kehan and smiled in surprise, her sharp fangs pressing against her scarlet lips, making them appear somewhat pale.
“Zooley Quentin…” Jiang Kehan murmured, this was the first time she had seen this mysterious colleague in person.
However, that one glance left a deep impression on her.
“Look at that tall, devout woman,” Li Hui said, squinting. “She’s probably a witch.”
Huh?
Jiang Kehan shifted her gaze from Jolie Quentin to another witch who had lifted her hood.
The other person had dazzling golden hair, unlike Ariel's, it was more like pure gold.
The most striking feature is the two menacing curved horns that extend from the sides of the face to the back of the head, but they are not fierce.
Perhaps it's the special milky-white coating on the horns that makes this witch appear unexpectedly holy.
"Dragon Witch?" Jiang Kehan asked hesitantly.
She saw the other person give her a stern, oppressive smile, as if they were looking down on her from a superior, and then casually make a throat-slitting gesture.
Among witches, only dragon witches with pure bloodlines can be so "savage".
Chapter 250 Wild Dragon Seed
“Yes, and she’s not a witch transformed from a colored dragon, she’s a wild dragon.” Li Hui scrutinized the other’s posture, his brows furrowing slightly.
The witch's use of "pure-blooded dragon" usually refers to colored dragons, because only colored dragons can interbreed with other species, giving birth to all sorts of strange pseudo-dragons.
The Wild Dragons are different; they are special creatures born of nature, and their birth is more akin to that of elves or even gods.
Therefore, their bloodlines are all unique and almost impossible to be contaminated.
Well, the only exception comes from other alien witches. The bloodline of witches can be said to encompass all things. Jiang Kehan has even heard of Hell Castle witches and Ghost Ship witches.
How these witches came to be is a question worth pondering.
Jiang Kehan tried hard not to let her thoughts wander. She coughed lightly and asked Li Hui in a serious tone.
"Is there anything special about the Desolate Dragon Witch?"
Ai Li'er silently looked at Jiang Kehan, whose face was slightly red, and wanted to know why she was blushing. She also wanted to ask: Why are you blushing?
She always felt that Jiang Kehan had recently been like a little bird stepping into spring, her singing voice carrying a special tone, slightly sweet.
This made Ai Li'er feel a little jealous. She looked at Li Hui, then at Jiang Kehan, and let out a muffled groan.
She thought to herself: If you two don't include me, can't I join in on my own?
So, please include me!
Li Hui shivered slightly. She looked at Jiang Kehan and Ai Lier in front of her with suspicion, feeling a bit cold, as if she wasn't dressed properly.
"Simply put, the Wild Dragon species is strong, strong through brute force." She said with a straight face, trying to convince herself that the chill was just an illusion.
"Their magic is very dense and usually has destructive properties, so it is very unwise to engage in a spell-slinging battle with them."
"But if you try to fight them in close combat, you'll experience what it means to have the power to tear a dragon apart with your bare hands, as well as the defense that's as solid as a mountain."
After hearing Li Hui's description, Jiang Kehan turned her gaze back to the dragon demoness who made no attempt to hide her arrogance, her brows furrowing deeper and deeper.
Li Hui only described the characteristics that all the witches of the Desolate Dragon race possessed. This did not even take into account the other party's talent and spellcasting faction bonuses, which already made her feel troubled.
The only good news is that the opponent is a mid-level witch, so even if they participate in the competition, they can only be a temporary member and can only bring a maximum difference of 1 point.
However, to Jiang Kehan's surprise, the dragon witch walked towards them.
Her golden hair flowed freely with her sweeping movements, and the dragon horns on her profile were sharp and angular, unlike the gentle curves of an Eastern dragon, but rather the sharpness unique to a ferocious beast.
Moreover, she was very tall, nearly 2 meters, and Jiang Kehan had to look up to see her face.
"So you're Jiang Kehan?" The Dragon Demoness smiled contemptuously and stopped in front of Jiang Kehan.
"I've heard about your achievements for a long time, and I hope your skills won't disappoint me."
She patted Jiang Kehan on the shoulder with deep arrogance, regardless of whether Jiang Kehan agreed to the touch, and just said that.
"After all, I'll only remember the so-called first place winner, ha, although your academy's selection process is just so-so."
"Oh, by the way, you can call me Hera, Golden Tyrant Hera."
After saying that, Hera let out a wanton laugh, her eyes turning golden, like countless chains locking and crushing the prey in her eyes.
Her behavior, in the context of witches, was simply provocative, extremely impolite, and utterly disrespectful.
Li Hui coldly pressed down on Hera's hand, which was on Jiang Kehan's shoulder, squeezed it tightly, and pulled it away from Jiang Kehan's shoulder.
"Do you want to die?"
Jiang Kehan was taken aback by his cold and sharp words; it was the first time she had ever seen Li Hui so angry.
I'm angry because of her.
Although Li Hui usually appears aloof, she has a basic kindness towards strangers and can be considered a witch who is quite easy to talk to.
Moreover, she is usually very emotionally stable and rarely gets angry.
"Oh?" Hera stared at the boy, tilting her head, and asked as if it were a matter of course, "And who are you?"
Jiang Kehan and Ai Lier were now also getting angry.
Insulting them and insulting the people they care about are two different things. In the former case, they have their own pride and will not be swayed by what others say.
But the latter will do everything in their power to protect the dignity of those they care about.
Moreover, in their hearts, Li Hui is the most outstanding witch.
"Who I am is unimportant, but you want to challenge Ke Han by surpassing me?" Li Huimie laughed. "I'm afraid you can't even beat me."
Hera's pupils contracted, and she abruptly pulled her hand away from Li Hui's, a hint of lingering fear in her eyes.
Just now, she sensed an aura of annihilation from Li Hui's hand, an aura that would even injure her.
After a brief silence, Hera's smile became inexplicably more genuine.
"I've remembered you, and I hope you won't let me down."
She tried to say something more, but Jolie Quentin, who had rushed over, covered her mouth.
Jolie Quentin looked helplessly at Jiang Kehan and the other two who had been angered, and sincerely apologized.
"Please ignore this idiot who only knows how to fight. You all know that the Desolate Dragon Witch is always missing something in her head."
As she spoke, she kicked Hera hard, but judging from Hera's nonchalant attitude, she knew that Hera didn't feel anything at all.
“I’m just too lazy to think about things outside of battle, it doesn’t mean I’m stupid.” Hera lifted Jolie Quentin up and placed her on her shoulder.
"Also, I'm the captain, so I know what I'm doing." She pulled up her gray hood and gave Jiang Kehan and the other two one last look, exuding a strong sense of pressure.
"Now, haven't I discovered something interesting?"
"Hahaha!" After saying that, she turned around and walked towards the ballroom with Jolie Quentin and another teammate without looking back.
Jiang Kehan felt a little heavy-hearted. She exhaled and felt the fine sweat trickling down her back.
No matter what, Hera is a true witch, and she naturally exudes a sense of oppression compared to them.
"This is the first time I've ever seen a witch who would bully her juniors." Jiang Kehan gritted her teeth, feeling somewhat depressed.
"Are all dragon witches like this?"
Li Hui shook her head slightly, gazing at Hera's back as she spoke softly, "Only the Desolate Dragon Witch is like this, but Hera is considered particularly rude among the Desolate Dragon Witches."
"I'm afraid she wasn't born very long ago."
