Bi Kwe climbed onto the body of the crocodile. The crocodile then moved quickly. Bi Kwe, who was on top of the crocodile, almost got thrown far if he hadn't held on tightly.
The blind dragon demon, who was fighting Lan Ming in the air, seemed fierce. Who would have thought that just using an umbrella, Lan Ming seemed to successfully attack the blind dragon demon several times.
Ah... who would have thought this battle could become intense, just with the use of an umbrella? he muttered to himself while his eyes gazed up at the sky. Indeed, Lan Ming's battle was happening fiercely.
However, even though the battle was intense, he wondered why Pit Hong had not launched an attack yet. Wasn't he, like Lan Ming, in possession of a sacred weapon?
Bi Kwe's eyes focused on the crocodile he was riding, wondering why the crocodile remained still and did not make any movements. "Why is it just staying still, did something happen to it?" The Thief Goddess even went as far as checking the crocodile's tail.
Is this crocodile constipated? Bi Kwe thought randomly.
Pit Hong shook his head. "Crocodiles themselves have a high hunting ability. Crocodiles usually wait patiently in the water for their prey, then they attack swiftly," Pit Hong explained, knowing the natural behavior of crocodiles.
Indeed, as described by Pit Hong. After the crocodile ridden by Bi Kwe and Pit Hong remained still for a moment, shortly after, the crocodile quickly launched an attack as soon as it saw the blind dragon demon descend to the ground, after being deliberately lured down by Lan Ming.
The crocodile attacked the blind dragon demon with its strong jaws and sharp teeth. The attack successfully tore the skin of the blind dragon demon. Feeling the attack from the blind dragon demon, without staying silent, the blind dragon demon quickly unleashed fireballs from its mouth.
The crocodile ridden by Pit Hong and Bi Kwe quickly evaded. Its movements were so agile that both individuals on its back almost got thrown off if they hadn't held on tightly.
"Pit Hong, can't you reduce its speed!" Bi Kwe panicked, the Thief Goddess doubted if her heart could withstand it if the crocodile they were riding continued to move at high speed.
"I don't know where the brakes are!" Pit Hong himself didn't know how to reduce the speed of the crocodile he was riding.
Finally, even though they had to endure at a very high speed, the crocodile ridden by Pit Hong and Bi Kwe launched another attack. Bi Kwe, who didn't want to remain passive, then summoned her magical fireflies. The fireflies, which took the form of small peony flowers and made a chirping sound repeatedly, were intentionally collected by Bi Kwe.
Bi Kwe put the magical fireflies into a lantern. Then she spread the lantern in the sky.
"Lan Ming, please help me spread these lanterns into the air!" Bi Kwe shouted for help to Lan Ming.
Lan Ming assisted in spreading the lanterns with his gentle wind technique. The scattered lanterns then surrounded the blind dragon demon before exploding. The explosion was enough to distract the blind dragon demon and create an opportunity for Lan Ming, who intended to attack the blind dragon demon again.
Lan Ming opened his umbrella wide and released a tornado consisting of countless cherry blossoms. The tornado lifted the blind dragon demon high into the air before causing it to fall down.
The blind dragon demon became angry, and its figure then released small-sized fairies with terrifying appearances. The fairies looked like very tiny humans with wings. However, their stomachs were greatly swollen. Inside the swollen stomachs contained a dangerous poisonous liquid.
The fairies that emerged from the blind dragon demon's body went berserk. They shattered Lan Ming's protective dome. The fairies then broke out of Lan Ming's created dome and penetrated into the surrounding dome that protected the residents.
The fairies then exploded their own stomach contents and attacked the residents with their sharp teeth. The residents were splashed with blood from the fairies, creating sores and pus that emitted a foul smell on the residents' skin. Moreover, the fairies attacked the residents and burned the skin of those affected by their poison. The fairies particularly liked the foul smell from the sores, which greatly increased their appetite.
Seeing the residents being attacked, Lan Ming felt worried. And because of that, his concentration broke again. The blind dragon demon took advantage of this moment of vulnerability and attacked Lan Ming brutally. The blind dragon demon crashed into Lan Ming's body and repeatedly attacked him with fireball explosions.
Seeing Lan Ming being attacked, Pit Hong didn't remain idle. He then immediately commanded the crocodile he was riding to move very quickly, to help the overwhelmed Lan Ming. Bi Kwe, who saw the residents being attacked and the increasingly pungent smell, felt the urge to help, although she was afraid it might fail.
However, because she didn't want to hesitate, Bi Kwe without further ado jumped off the crocodile she was riding. Then she flew and came out of the hole in the dome created by the blood fairies. Bi Kwe scratched her hands, legs, and even her face to release her blood. After that, she intentionally formed her blood into small clumps in large numbers.
She sent the clumps of blood into the sky. And in a short time, a rain of peony flowers made of her blood fell from the sky. The rain made of the Thief Goddess's blood created peony flowers that healed the skin of the residents affected by the blood fairies' poison.
Feeling disturbed, the blood fairies then tried to attack Bi Kwe. The Thief Goddess didn't stay silent; she then used the powders from her peony flowers to disrupt the toxic substances inside the blood fairies' bodies.
Fortunately, her technique succeeded in causing the blood fairies to die from the powder of her peony flowers. After defeating the blood fairies, Bi Kwe took a moment to observe the condition of the residents, who were slowly improving. Luckily, her healing technique worked, although Bi Kwe had to expend half of her energy to channel the healing technique to many people.
Feeling that the situation was safer, Bi Kwe now intended to leave the dome that protected the residents. When she looked around, she briefly noticed Je Xi, who apparently had joined the residents there. Realizing the presence of the Goddess of Sound there, Bi Kwe wondered what the Goddess of Sound intended to do. Especially since Je Xi was not a goddess suited for engaging in battle.
