The little dragon hesitated for a moment, clearly understanding Qin Chen's words. It stared at the Soul Lake, and after much contemplation, a determined light shone in its small eyes, and it nodded.
Evidently, it was willing to enter this Soul Lake.
Because it sensed that this would be an opportunity for it, a chance to change its destiny.
"Alright."
Qin Chen took a deep breath. Since the little dragon was willing, there was nothing more to say.
"Since you are willing, as long as you come out from inside, regardless of the outcome, you will be my, Qin Chen's partner,"
Qin Chen said solemnly. Then, he raised his hand, and immediately a fruit appeared in his palm.
It was another chaos fruit.
Previously, Qin Chen had obtained two chaos fruits. One was consumed by him to comprehend the chaos power and the book of evolution origins, while the other one was still unused. Naturally, he cherished this last chaos fruit greatly.
"Little dragon, the Soul Lake contains an astonishing chaos aura. Although you can survive in the Underworld River, you may not withstand such terrifying chaos energy. First, you should consume this chaos fruit."
Qin Chen addressed the little dragon.
"Boss, you're giving this chaos fruit to a little dragon shrimp? Isn't that too wasteful?"
Little Ant and Little Fire hovered around Qin Chen, incredulously saying. This was a treatment they didn't even receive.
Not to mention them; if anyone saw Qin Chen's actions, they would surely go crazy.
The chaos fruit was a treasure that even venerables coveted greatly. For a single chaos fruit, Earth Venerable experts would fight fiercely, yet here was Qin Chen, giving his last chaos fruit to a little dragon shrimp. It was simply outrageous.
Even if it were taken to a black market auction, the price of a chaos fruit would absolutely not be lower than that of a little dragon like this exotic creature from the Underworld River.
Now, it was better that Qin Chen directly made the little dragon swallow the chaos fruit; it was simply a waste!
"Boss, this, this, this is too extravagant, right?
Anything good, Little Fire and I can handle it too."
Little Ant looked at the little dragon holding the chaos fruit and couldn't help but say enviously. The chaos fruit must be delicious, right?
"Alright, if I get any more chaos fruits in the future, I will definitely let you both have some as well, but right now the little dragon needs to perform a task, so it must eat the chaos fruit."
Qin Chen said with a wry smile, knowing these foodies couldn't remain calm at the sight of something to eat.
Qin Chen was well aware that in order for the little dragon to enter that Soul Lake, it had to consume the chaos fruit to awaken its potential and obtain the protection of chaos power; otherwise, it would be impossible for it to enter that place.
The little dragon also understood this was a good thing. With its two large pincers, it snapped the chaos fruit and quickly devoured it, not wasting even the skin, which made Little Ant and Little Fire drool.
With a "buzz," after the little dragon swallowed the chaos fruit, the chaos aura around it instantly surged several times, and the true dragon order law chain within its body manifested, interweaving together like a celestial scroll.
In the blink of an eye, all the law chains of the little dragon intertwined into a chaos shield, enveloping it in a chaos aura, as if it had transformed into a chaos creature.
After consuming the chaos fruit, Qin Chen still felt a bit uneasy.
He waved towards the Myriad Realms Demon Tree.
Instantly, a tender branch from the Myriad Realms Demon Tree floated over and landed in Qin Chen's hand.
"Little dragon, this is a tender branch of the Myriad Realms Demon Tree. The Myriad Realms Demon Tree can devour all soul power. If you consume this tender branch, it will protect you from soul power invasions, at least allowing you to hold on for a moment."
The little dragon nodded and swallowed the tender branch of the Myriad Realms Demon Tree into its internal space.
