Just as Wang Yufan finished speaking, they clearly heard a series of thumping sounds inside the Chaos Bell.

At this moment, the Nine-tailed Fox, who had been diving, immediately stopped, because she sensed the existence of a large creature.

"Seven-tailed Fox? I haven’t tasted such a delicacy in a long time, but today I’ve encountered one." A chillingly eerie voice came from the depths of the cold pond.

However, the Nine-tailed Fox showed no reaction after hearing this voice; she merely gave a faint glance, then headed upwards. She knew this was someone else’s territory, and a fight later would be extremely disadvantageous for her.

"This Venerable One thought it was some kind of monstrous beast, but it turns out to be just a stinky little crawling insect. You still want to eat this Venerable One? I’m afraid your teeth aren’t big enough." The Nine-tailed Fox said, then directly rushed upwards. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Upon hearing this voice, the monstrous beast hidden deep within the cold pond seemed about to erupt in fury, and the entire cold pond began to churn. Wang Yufan and Little Zhuge hid in a corner of the cold pond; they couldn’t act rashly now, waiting for an opportunity.

As the Nine-tailed Fox left the cold pond, she instantly appeared above it. This cold pond had no effect on her at her realm. For those below the Primal Spirit Realm, it might have an anti-flight restriction. This also made her absolutely believe that the two humans were hiding inside this cold pond, but now there was a problem to solve.

Just after she finished thinking, the cold pond seemed to boil directly, and then a huge head emerged.

The head that emerged was black and had two large horns. It was clearly a Flood Dragon, but this Flood Dragon’s strength had already reached the eighth layer of the Yuanji Realm. Its entire body was covered in black scales.

The Nine-tailed Fox could tell that this Flood Dragon in front of her was very likely to become a true Dragon after undergoing a nine-fold lightning tribulation.

After the Flood Dragon emerged from the cold pond, it stared at the Nine-tailed Fox and said, "Little Fox, what did you just say? If you have the guts, say it again."

Hearing the Flood Dragon’s voice, the Nine-tailed Fox disdainfully said, "What can you do even if I say it again? Listen carefully, I said that in the eyes of this Venerable One, you are just a small crawling insect. If you know what’s good for you, tell me the whereabouts of those two humans from before."

"Little Fox, I don’t know where you get such a big mouth from. You came looking for those two little bugs, did you? Hahaha, I know where they are, but how about you let me eat your leg first?" The Flood Dragon spoke in human tongue.

However, for the Nine-tailed Fox, a mere Flood Dragon of the Yuanji Realm being so disrespectful to her deserved death. She had even seen the divine beast Qilin, a super powerhouse whose strength had reached the sixth layer of the Yuanzu Realm. When the Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise four clans were not present, the Qilin was the supreme. And her Nine-tailed Fox lineage was also a top existence among the monster race. For a mere Flood Dragon to be so disrespectful to her, only death could punish it.

"You are very good. No one from the monster race has ever dared to speak to me like that; you are the first. According to my temper, you would probably already be a corpse, but if you can hand over those two humans from before, I can spare your life." The Nine-tailed Fox said.

But after hearing this, the Flood Dragon laughed maniacally, "You only have seven tails. If you had eight tails, I might avoid you. If you had nine tails, I probably wouldn’t even show myself. But you only have seven tails, and your strength is so much lower than mine. What right do you have to demand my life? Today, I’ve decided, given your big talk, I’ll just swallow you whole. Only then can I quell my anger. As for those two little shrimps you mentioned, I’ll deal with them after I take care of you."

After the Flood Dragon finished speaking, it roared and charged towards the Nine-tailed Fox.

Its massive figure continuously circled above the cold pond, and seeing the Flood Dragon charging towards her, the Nine-tailed Fox also felt a surge of anger.

She indeed only had seven tails’ worth of strength at the moment, and dealing with a Flood Dragon seven layers higher than her was still somewhat difficult, but seeing the Flood Dragon charging towards her, she directly dodged.

On the other side, Wang Yufan and Little Zhuge both heard their conversation.

"This place is no longer safe for long; we need to leave quickly, otherwise, we might not be able to leave later," Wang Yufan said.

Hearing Wang Yufan’s words, Little Zhuge asked with some confusion, "Why is that? Aren’t they fighting? We just need to watch, right? I think that Nine-tailed Fox will definitely lose. That cold pond Flood Dragon’s realm is much stronger than hers."

Wang Yufan carefully scrutinized Little Zhuge, and Little Zhuge, realizing Wang Yufan’s gaze was wandering over her, covered the torn parts of her clothes.

"Little White Face, you... you wouldn’t be having any ill intentions towards me here, would you? There’s still a big battle going on outside. If you keep looking at me like that, do you believe I’ll gouge out your eyes?" Little Zhuge said indignantly.

However, Wang Yufan said with a speechless expression, "Rumors say that women with big chests are brainless, but how are you also a brainless person?"

Hearing Wang Yufan’s words, Little Zhuge was instantly displeased. Although she was wearing men’s clothes, she was still a woman, and being spoken to like that by Wang Yufan made her feel very ashamed. She immediately puffed out her chest and said, "Little White Face, who are you calling small-chested? Besides, how am I brainless? I’m very smart, okay? Where did I say anything wrong just now?"

"Wrong, of course it’s wrong. Didn’t you hear the Flood Dragon say that if it were a nine-tailed one, it would avoid it? Now, relying on a Nine-tailed Fox with only seven tails, she definitely can’t defeat that Flood Dragon. You think, once she can’t defeat it, the Nine-tailed Fox might reveal her divine consciousness phantom. After the Flood Dragon sees it, do you think it will still be like this?" Wang Yufan finished speaking and looked at Little Zhuge.

Little Zhuge thought for a moment after hearing it, then nodded and said, "Oh, what you said seems to have no problem. Then let’s leave here quickly." Wang Yufan was a little speechless; he felt that Little Zhuge was just a naive and sweet person.

But he also didn’t hesitate, controlling the Chaos Bell to quickly move towards one direction of the cold pond.

Soon after the two of them left, the battle between the Flood Dragon and the Nine-tailed Fox stopped. Just as Wang Yufan had said, upon seeing the Nine-tailed Fox possessing the six-tailed fox, the Flood Dragon’s attitude did a complete 180-degree turn. It then immediately apologized to the Nine-tailed Fox for what had happened before. The Nine-tailed Fox didn’t want to waste time here, so she directly told it to tell her the location of Wang Yufan and Little Zhuge.

However, just as the Flood Dragon confidently pointed towards the direction of the cold pond, it found that it was already empty.
