A man among dragons, building a mysterious ancient church.

Chapter 197 If we're going to get out of prison, we'll get out together.

Fenrir squinted his dragon eyes, munching on potato chips and shaking his head.

He knew that Huang Tao was his best friend and wouldn't lie to him!

Xu Lie first used his eyelids to perform a small divination, confirming that Xia Mi would not come over in a short time. Reassured, he went around to Fenrir's back and began to observe Fenrir's hindquarters.

The Dragon Kings all possess the miraculous ability to resurrect. Before they die, they only need to find a safe place to spin a cocoon and hatch an egg. After their bodies die, their spirits and consciousness return to the cocoon, and they are successfully reborn.

However, this process will take a long time to gradually recover to its peak condition.

First comes the embryo, then the cocoon. After emerging from the cocoon, it is not a dragon body, but a state similar to that of humans. It still needs to grow for a period of time to recover its state before finally developing into a huge dragon body.

Fenrir only conceived half of the dragon's body, with the front half being a full forty meters long.

With those enormous, curled-up dragon wings, it's really hard to estimate their exact width by sight.

But the front half of the body only goes up to the abdomen. Behind Fenrir is a thick keel bone that is half a meter long. Half of the keel bone is white and smooth, while the other half gradually lithifies until it disappears into the rock layer.

Further on, the dragon's skeleton is embedded in the rocky earth, and its hindquarters should have become one with the entire rock stratum.

This is not simply something buried in the rock strata. Rather, during the formation of the enormous dragon body, an accident occurred, and the elements from the latter half of its formation connected with the earth, merging into one.

It can be understood that the latter half of the wall and rock strata are actually the dragon's body that Fenrir mistakenly conceived.

Even if you slowly break all the rock layers apart, you're only hurting Fenrir; you're breaking his 'body'.

The mighty earth and the king of mountains are thus confined by the earth and deprived of their freedom.

"Fenrir, I promised you that you would help me get out of trouble." Xu Lie picked up two cans of cola and fed one to Fenrir.

That was an agreement made before Fenrir parasitized Xu Lie: Fenrir would provide Xu Lie with a means to parasitize him, and Xu Lie would help him gain his freedom.

Fenrir comfortably sipped his cola, opened his gaping maw again, and tried to let out a satisfied burp, but the tiny amount of bubbles was completely insufficient to support the burp on his massive dragon body.

He could only lie on the ground, trying to look Xu Lie, who was relatively short, in the eye: "No need, Huang Tao."

"I can't get out."

Xu Lie didn't care about Fenrir's terrifying appearance at all. He casually stroked Fenrir's head as if he were petting his own kitten: "Trust me."

"I'll release you right now."

“Aren’t we good friends? If good friends go to jail together, then we should get out of jail together.”

For Xu Lie now, it would be easy to use the Source Castle to preemptively use the ability to deceive his mentor about Sequence 3.

The ability to deceive was activated, and a vast amount of spiritual energy poured in, targeting Fenrir's hindquarters. Through deception, the hindquarters of the dragon mistakenly believed that it was being conceived normally.

‘Click! ’

"Crack, crack, crack!"

At first, there was only a slight cracking sound, but a few seconds later, it became a high-frequency, dense cracking sound.

It was as if this enormous underground cavity was about to crack open entirely, with tiny but dense cracking sounds everywhere.

If I had to use an analogy, it would be like standing in the largest aquarium, admiring it through the glass, and then all the glass tanks around you start cracking, making a series of loud 'crackling' sounds.

Fenrir's hindquarters began a miraculous reversal; its thick bones gradually returned to their original whiteness, and the petrification accumulated over many years slowly faded. Even blood began to seep out, tiny, crimson lines intertwining and slowly coalescing into the flesh and blood of its massive body!
However, under the suppression of Fenrir's dragon king status, his deception ability quickly stalled, and his nascent flesh and blood eventually dissipated, leaving only his dragon bones still integrated into the rock strata.

Unable to expel the rock layers and nurture flesh and blood.

Fenrir didn't care at all whether he gained weight or not; he was surprised to find that he was actually able to get out!

Yes, the ability to deceive had a limited effect on Fenrir, but it did work in the end, successfully separating Fenrir's hindquarters from the surrounding rock and earth.

Simply put, Xu Lie has succeeded halfway.

Fenrir's hindquarters were still fused with the rock wall, not yet fully transformed into Fenrir's flesh and blood, but Fenrir was already able to drag a large section of rock out.

"Roar? Roar!!" Fenrir used its two forelimbs to climb, and with its enormous strength, it easily dragged down a large section of rock and crawled out more than two meters.

"Hey! Huang Tao, Huang Tao, did you see that?" Fenrir was as happy as a child who had just finished his homework, his face beaming with anticipation for praise.

Xu Lie wasn't frightened by the huge commotion when Fenrir crawled out. He slipped onto Fenrir's head and sat down, gently stroking its scaly head: "This is the only way for now."

"Give me some more time, and I will be able to help you restore your complete dragon body."

Fenrir was now quite amazed, having broken free from the earth's shackles for the first time in many years. Even though he was still dragging a large section of rock along with him, it was enough for him.

Completely unconcerned about whether Xu Lie could keep his promise, she kept nodding, "Mmm, mmm."

Fenrir, with Xu Lie on his head, crawled forward with great curiosity.

He climbed out of the underground space and saw the platform outside, which was too big to contain his size, as well as the Kamaitachi Queen that had long been parasitized.

Fenrir was both stupid and foolish. He tried to push forward twice, but realized that forcing his way out would damage the platform, so he immediately stopped.

He often heard his older sister, Xia Mi, say that Xia Mi would always take the subway to this platform to see him.

What if the platform gets damaged and my sister can't come? Wouldn't that be the end of us?
In order to see her sister again, Fenrir, despite possessing unparalleled power, dared not destroy the platform.

He obediently stretched out his dragon head, lay on the edge of the platform, and looked around with great curiosity. For Fenrir, who had been trapped for many years, everything he saw was so new and exciting.

Even just counting the tracks in front of the platform can take a long time.

Seeing Fenrir stretching his neck, with only his head sticking out to count the rails, Xu Lie couldn't help but recall the kitten at his grandmother's house, deep in his memory.

I remember my grandma's kitten, which also loved to lie on the cabinet, looking down at something.

Even though the two are completely different, Xu Lie always manages to misjudge them: "Fenrir, wait for me a little longer, and I'll come back to heal you."

"Huh?" Fenrir stopped counting this time and quickly turned to look at Xu Lie: "Huang Tao, are you leaving?"

Looking at Fenrir's somewhat aggrieved eyes, most people probably couldn't bear it.

Who made Fenrir so big?

The dragon's body was enormous, and its pupils were correspondingly large; all its emotions were clearly visible in those clear, vertical dragon pupils.

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon, just like your sister, it's a promise." Xu Lie said, and then deliberately extended his hand.

Fenrir believed Xu Lie, carefully raised its right forelimb, extended its dragon claw sharp enough to tear the earth, and touched Xu Lie's small hand: "Yes, it's a date!"
