Chapter 292: “Let me see the potential of humans!”
Thought is a process that changes due to experiences.
Jié Jié believed that indeed, “nothing happening” was best, and he felt he could think for a bit longer.
He temporarily chose neither to burn the record nor hand it over to other humans but decided to keep it for himself.
As for the Dragon Person scholar’s dream?
No one believes in dreams. Memories fade with time, and the contents of dreams are always the first to vanish, becoming unverifiable amidst various rumors.
Transforming into the Flame Empress Spider, Jié Jié wrapped the record tightly with resilient spider silk, hanging it on his forelimb claws, which corresponded to the wings after transforming into a Flying Dragon.
Enjoying the azure sky and verdant plains, the oppressive moment at the edge of Hell and the Divine Realm was instantly healed. He dove down, stepped on an Herbivore Dragon, and began devouring it voraciously.
The meat filled his mouth, blood seeped into his teeth, and his body’s intense craving for protein was reawakened, urging him to compensate for so many days of emptiness.
The nearby Dog Dragons couldn’t resist and began hunting the fleeing Herbivore Dragons.
Raising his wings again to pounce, he equally incorporated the Dog Dragons into his menu.
Not enough; he needed to find larger monsters.
Looking far away toward the volcano cluster, the largest monster within sight turned out to be a green Peach Fur King.
As a subspecies of Green Fur, they have a more voracious appetite and broader diet than Peach Fur, thus also having stronger excretory abilities.
They can throw larger feces blocks and release louder farts than the Peach Fur King. These monsters who love playing with poop are absolutely impossible to eat or touch, just like poop itself.
No, not only can’t they be eaten, their obese greasy bellies, hippo-like ugly faces, and mohawk hairstyles deemed attractive by themselves are all forms of spiritual pollution just by being in sight.
“Roar!”
Upon noticing the Fire Dragon in the sky, the Green Fur quickly fled toward the nearest forest, but no matter how fast, it couldn’t escape the fireball.
Seeing the Green Fur trip its own left hand, swing its right, and jump sideways in a zigzag pattern to dodge the fireball, releasing a cloud of colored gas from its rear end,
Fart acceleration!
After driving the Green Fur into the forest, ensuring it wouldn’t pollute the view of the airborne Flying Dragon anymore, Jié Jié started ascending.
“Didn’t we drive away the Green Fur already?! How did it come back?!”
“Ahhh! It’s so disgusting! Even the Strange Ape Fox ran away from its stench!”
“Meow Meow Meow!!!”
The high-pitched scream of the female hunter came from the forest below as she fled hastily with her companion under the devastating power of the Green Fur.
Jié Jié couldn’t help but burst into a series of laughs in mid-air.
A world where nothing happens is truly great.
After circling in the air for a while, he dived down and blocked the path of the hunters returning to camp for supplies.
“Let me see the potential of humans!”
“Fire Dragon, unique individual, run!”
And the two hunters threw foul-smelling bombs without hesitation before turning around and running.
Seeing the strange-smelling bomb hit the ground in front of him, emitting ominous odors, Jié Jié roared angrily, finding the Green Fur again and chasing it towards the two hunters.
After a while, he surpassed the two novice hunters, arriving at the boundary between the forest and the mountainous region, known as the Underground Cave Kiln.
“Roar!”
The Fire Dragon’s call pierced through the pitch-black void, echoing repeatedly. A large number of bats were startled into flight.
“Hoooooooot!!”
The Hōng Lóng leaped out of the darkness, raising its head and roaring ferociously, only to be met by the Fire Dragon’s dive and a sharp roar after taking a deep breath.
“Roarrrr!!!!”
“What sound is that?”
Even the distant forest was startled by this sharp roar, causing birds to fly away in panic. The hunters who had escaped the Green Fur covered their ears.
“It must be that unique Fire Dragon earlier. I heard the Dragon Institute is preparing second names for more and more unique individuals. Despite being a handsome Fire Dragon, it’s as scary as a Hōng Lóng. I don’t know what to name it.”
“Maybe it’s Mrs. Female Fire Dragon dating the Hōng Lóng. Just thinking about it is terrifying.”
Bubbles appeared on the female hunter’s head.
“Still, let’s focus on tracking the Strange Ape Fox. The smell of the Green Fur has covered up the dye ball.”
The hunter glanced at the Ailu Cat follower. The scent-sensitive Ailu Cat was currently pinching its nose and shaking its head wildly. Meanwhile, the rescue cats hiding in the corner peeked out and made a gesture of “more money required.”
It’s impossible to deduct fees—it will never happen in this lifetime—
On the other side, Jié Jié had already completed the achievement of defeating the Hōng Lóng and was now feasting on its corpse.
The feeding time far exceeded the time it took to kill the Hōng Lóng.
“Mew Mew Mew~”
“Alright, this time we must capture the Strange Ape Fox!”
The two hunters peeked from the edge of the forest and saw the Male Fire Dragon devouring the Hōng Lóng, shivering and retreating back into the woods.
“I think Mrs. Female Fire Dragon is unlikely to date the Hōng Lóng again.”
The female hunter voiced her regretful tone, while the male hunter on the other side looked at the rescue cats, wondering about the Strange Ape Fox and his reward money!
“Mew Mew Mew~”
“You mean the Strange Ape Fox fled into the Underground Cave Kiln? Then the mission fails directly, and there’s no reward money.”
The hunter sighed dejectedly. The Underground Cave Kiln was much more dangerous than the forest plains, and it wasn’t a place for hunters like them to dare enter.
“Mew Mew Mew!”
The rescue Ailu Cat placed its hands on its hips, making a sound for more money.
Providing cat vehicles for hunters is a dangerous job. When hunters are in danger, a considerable portion of the fee must be allocated to the cats.
Cats in this line of work don’t mind doing jobs that followers can’t handle if they’re short on money.
“Well, let’s secretly observe that Male Fire Dragon, collect traces, and earn some investigation points. The remaining Hōng Lóng remains aren’t bad either.”
“Although the main parts of monsters hunted by non-hunters cannot be taken away, picking up a few scales and bones can still make some money.”
The female hunter consoled her companion, rubbing her fingers while watching the Fire Dragon feast.
As long as it doesn’t suddenly appear in front of them from the sky, the Fire Dragon is still quite handsome.
All their words were caught by Jié Jié’s acute hearing. After landing, all the small animals around here had fled.
Jié Jié tossed a piece of Hōng Lóng bone into the Underground Cave Kiln and, as expected, heard the sound of a shattered heart.
Toss another one, toss another one, if no one wants it, I’ll keep tossing…
But in the end, he still left the massive skull and a bit of scale of the Hōng Lóng, arranging them into a pose looking up at the stars.
