Chapter 103 Finding 2 Dragon Balls
Chapter 103 Finding 2 Dragon Balls
Seeing the opportunity, Shang Yun flicked his hands, and two Yuan Light Shields formed from his true energy appeared, spinning rapidly with sharp edges and dazzling light. Shang Yun manipulated the Yuan Light Shields to fly towards the lizard, rapidly circling around it and occasionally drawing sparks on its body to disrupt its movements.
The lizard roared angrily, its entire body engulfed in flames, and the temperature rose sharply. It then charged toward Shang Yun, each step causing the ground to tremble and splashing high waves of lava along its path.
Shang Yun's eyes were firm. He took a deep breath, and a faint starlight rose above his head, disappearing into the void at a height of three feet. He unleashed "Zen Mind - Three-Foot Divine Power," concentrating his mind and keenly sensing the lizard's attack intentions. His own power also rose with his fighting spirit.
Just as the lizard was about to pounce, Shang Yun easily dodged to the side, simultaneously manipulating his Yuan Light Shield to slash at the lizard's leg. The lizard, in pain, stumbled, and Shang Yun channeled the energy he had previously absorbed into his right fist, letting out a roar as he slammed it into the lizard's abdomen with all his might. This punch contained immense power and converted energy; the lizard was sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground and raising a cloud of dust.
Taking advantage of the lizard's injury, the group rushed into the cave and finally found the first Dragon Ball deep inside. Although Bulma did not participate in the battle, she had been closely monitoring the situation, using her intelligence to analyze the danger level of the environment, find a path into the cave, and cheer everyone on at crucial moments, keeping their fighting spirit high.
"Everyone be careful, there might be other dangers in this cave," Bulma warned.
"Don't worry, Aunt Bulma, we're here." Gohan replied with a smile.
Next, they entered a mysterious forest, shrouded in poisonous fog with extremely low visibility. A sinister atmosphere permeated the air; ancient trees blocked out the sky, and thick layers of fallen leaves emitted a putrid stench. The surroundings were eerily quiet, broken only by the rustling of their footsteps. Shang Yun remained vigilant, leading everyone away from hidden traps and poisonous creatures.
However, deep in the forest, they encountered a group of enormous spider monsters. These spider monsters were the size of trucks, with eight eyes that flashed an eerie red light, and green venom dripping from their mouths.
Moll warned everyone to be careful, as the spiders' tough silk was not only extremely sticky but also contained a nerve-paralyzing toxin; once entangled, one would gradually lose sensation. Bulma, frightened, hid behind the others.
Krillin clasped his hands together and shouted, "Ki Slash!" A white, shimmering energy disc swiftly sliced towards the spider monster, cutting through some of its silk. But the spider monsters were numerous and kept surging forward. Krillin was extremely anxious, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"This can't go on, there are too many!" Klin said anxiously.
"We need to think of a way; we can't just fight head-on," Shang Yun calmly analyzed.
Son Gohan activated his "Power Burst" state and engaged the spider monster in close combat. Every punch and kick he delivered carried immense power, sending the approaching spider monster flying. However, the spider monster's attacks were also overwhelming him, and he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
"Gohan, watch your back!" Shang Yun shouted a warning.
"Zen Intent? Yuan Light Shield Slash!"
Shang Yun flicked his hands, and two Yuan Light Shields formed from true energy suddenly appeared. These shields spun rapidly, possessing powerful cutting capabilities and could be freely manipulated to change direction. Shang Yun held the shields in front of him, cutting through the spider silk while simultaneously disrupting the spider monsters' attacks, relieving pressure on Son Gohan. Throughout the battle, he also constantly observed his surroundings, considering how to more effectively defeat the spider monsters while ensuring everyone's safety.
After a fierce battle, they successfully defeated the spider monster and found the second Dragon Ball in the center of the forest. It turned out that Bulma had noticed during the battle that the spider monster seemed to react to a certain frequency of sound. She quickly told Shangyun, who used his inner energy to emit fluctuations of that frequency, attracting the spider monster's attention and allowing everyone to launch an attack, ultimately achieving victory.
"Bulma, you're amazing! We owe this all to the clue you found," Krillin praised.
“Yes, Bulma, you always manage to come through at crucial moments,” Gohan said with a smile.
"It's good that everyone is alright. Let's continue searching for the next Dragon Ball," Bulma replied with a smile.
……
In that clean and quiet hospital room, sunlight streamed softly through the window, casting dappled patterns on the floor. Sun Wukong lay on the bed, the blankets covering him slightly disheveled, an IV needle still attached to his arm, and medicine dripping slowly from the IV bottle beside him. His eyes were fixed on the ceiling, his gaze revealing endless restlessness and impatience, his legs fidgeting restlessly under the blankets.
On a nearby chair, Qiqi was knitting, the yarn balls rolling gently on the floor with her movements. Her head bobbed up and down, clearly very sleepy, the knitting needles occasionally pausing in her hand. Gradually, her eyes closed completely, and she drifted off to sleep, still clutching the knitting needles and the half-finished sweater tightly in her hands, her body rising and falling slightly with her breath.
Sun Wukong could no longer contain the silence of the room. He abruptly sat up, ignoring the pain from his wounds and not noticing the IV tube he was pulling on. A glint of excitement flashed in his eyes as he threw a powerful punch into the air. The punch created a gust of wind, causing the curtains beside the bed to rustle.
The sudden noise startled Qiqi awake. She jerked, nearly dropping the sweater in her hands. She scrambled to her feet, knitting needles still clinging to the sweater, her hair disheveled. She looked at Sun Wukong sleepily, a flicker of panic crossing her eyes before turning to concern and confusion. "Wukong," she asked hastily, "what are you doing? Are you feeling unwell?"
Sun Wukong frowned, his face showing a childlike stubbornness and longing, and said loudly, "Qiqi, I really can't stand it anymore! Lying in bed all day, unable to do anything, I feel so uncomfortable. I just want to find someone to have a good fight with; this peaceful life is driving me crazy!"
Chi-Chi sighed helplessly, went over to tidy up Goku's blanket, and put the IV tube back in place. She said gently but with a hint of reproach, "Can't you just stay still for a while? Your injuries haven't healed yet. What if you aggravate them by moving around? The doctor said you need to rest properly and get fully recovered before you can help Gohan. If you cause any more problems now, you won't be able to help Gohan, and you'll make us worry. Listen to me, lie down now."
Sun Wukong pouted, still looking unwilling, but obediently lay down, muttering, "Fine, fine, this is so frustrating. This life is really unbearable."
Qiqi sat back down in her chair, picked up her sweater again, and said as she knitted, "Just focus on recovering. Once you're healed, you'll have plenty of opportunities to fight again."
The ward returned to silence, with only the sound of IV drips and the soft rustling of Chi-Chi knitting. Although Sun Wukong was lying in bed, his eyes still revealed his desire for battle and his longing for the outside world.
