Chapter 255

Chapter 255: Snare Serpent Dragon.

Early in the morning, Jié Jié woke up in a semi-conscious state and felt his body was restricted, as if something had bound him?

Captured by hunters and tightly bound?

Jié Jié drifted back to sleep with a hazy mind. His dreams were born from his thoughts, and he dreamt of being captured and tied up by hunters and dragged into their camp.

After breaking free, he went on a rampage in the hunter’s camp, eating everything in sight, then followed their retreat route into the base where he continued his chaotic feast.

While Jié Jié dreamed of indulging himself, the creature that had bound him wasn’t having such an easy time.

The monster that restrained the Spiny Dragon was a strange snake covered in shell, forty meters long, using its own body to bind and strangle the Spiny Dragon.

If Jié Jié were awake, he would recognize this creature as the Snare Serpent Dragon.

The Snare Serpent Dragon had been strangling for half the night, but the creature it held onto still breathed steadily, deep in slumber.

Attempting to further tighten its grip would only result in its spines piercing through the gaps in its shell, causing much poisonous saliva and blood to flow.

Unable to resist, it opened its mouth to bite, but the shell proved too tough, so it could only nibble on the wing membrane to taste its flavor.

But the wing membrane is not meat; the main body couldn’t be bitten, and giving up felt unacceptable.

To capture such a large sleeping monster and obtain unimaginable amounts of flesh and nutrients was tempting, and abandoning it was unbearable.

It had tried to crawl under the Spiny Dragon to bite at its abdomen, but the position was blocked by spiky legs pressing against the ground, making it impossible to enter.

Normally, one should abandon hunting when encountering a large uncatchable monster, but this Snare Serpent Dragon spent the whole night in frustration before finally deciding to use its proud skill beyond strangulation.

Oscillate the Atmosphere with Sonic Boom!

Use sonic booms to wake the creature and stun it, exposing its weaknesses, then control it with paralyzing fangs and kill it for food!

The body entwining the Spiny Dragon began to shake, and the shell called Sound Shell on its tail sides and back emitted loud sounds as it vibrated.

Sound originates from vibration, and the rebounding echoes collided again with the vibrating shell, creating a highly penetrating sonic boom!

Jié Jié, who was dreaming about biting into a castle like a cake, suddenly felt the heavens change, the world turning a bloody red—

The patterns on the dark green shell instantly filled with blood, his eardrums torn apart by the close-range sonic boom, leaving only continuous ringing in his ears disrupting his thoughts.

The awakened Spiny Dragon stared wildly, feeling everything around menacing.

There was no need to worry about the binding strangulation; all he wanted was to give the annoying creature disturbing his rest a painful lesson he’d never forget.

Carrying the Snare Serpent Dragon clinging to his body, Jié Jié proudly took large steps.

Surging heat was quickly mobilized and accumulated, and in the blink of an eye, it descended upon the Snare Serpent Dragon.

“Boom!”

The body of the Snare Serpent Dragon tensed for a moment before going limp, its upper half sliding off Jié Jié’s body, a horrifying wound almost splitting its body in two.

The flame-wrapped maw of the Spiny Dragon descended.

“Crack.”

The nerve reflexes left behind by the dying Snare Serpent Dragon caused it to be flung away, leaving only its lower half still entangled around the Spiny Dragon.

After breaking free from the dragon’s grasp, Jié Jié stomped on it several times more. Seeing the Snare Serpent Dragon cut into two pieces, dead beyond doubt, his anger subsided somewhat.

Sigh, waking up to have an untried monster delivered right to you is good fortune indeed, even if the castle-like cake is lost.

Without looking at the dragon he’d stomped into disarray, Jié Jié began feeding on the upper half of the Snare Serpent Dragon.

Under the protection of the shell, the snake meat was fresh and tender, contrasting beautifully with the coarser Beidlong meat he usually ate.

The medulla was soft and slid down his throat effortlessly, equally delicious.

After breaking the bones and eating the marrow of the Snare Serpent Dragon, Jié Jié started walking towards the coast, perceiving that the two figures had disappeared.

Even after walking along the coastline for a long time, he still couldn’t find them.

Míng Dēng Lóng’s long-distance perception requires locking on; otherwise, high-intensity energy sources can obscure low-intensity ones, various energy trajectories confusing each other like visual obstructions and errors, but can be analyzed in conjunction with vision.

Flying into the sky, his line of sight extended over the sea surface but still couldn’t find the small boat.

Where are they? Could they have been dragged underwater by a Sea Dragon?

Jié Jié gathered curiously near the bay, his line of sight sweeping both sides of the shore until he finally found the small boat on the southern isolated island’s coast.

Being at a higher elevation gave a clearer view; he also saw smoke, but it was hidden behind the mountain peak of the isolated island, unable to see the actual village.

However, the signal flare was clearly visible in the air, allowing him to quickly relock onto the positions of the two people. After some thought, he decided to change forms and follow.

“This isolated island is a confirmed hunting ground, developed and managed by Mojia Village; someone should soon be able to find us.”

The compiler looked at the distant White Sea Dragon and unconsciously lowered his voice.

By collecting ecological information, he now perfectly confirmed his location, there would be absolutely no error.

“Hmm, that’s the White Sea Dragon, I’ve never tampered with a hunting ground before.”

“Yes, compared to regular Sea Dragons, the White Sea Dragon is more agile on land and also more dangerous—”

“Angggggnger～”

A shadow fell from the sky, prompting the two to look up and see the large monster reflecting silver-black luster under the sunlight.

“What is that?”

An even more dangerous monster pounced towards the White Sea Dragon. The Flying Dragon and Sea Dragon collided, flames and lightning flashing continuously.

“Hey!”

A deliberately suppressed shout made the two turn around.

“New faces, not registered at the Mojia Village gathering, what happened here?”

The newcomer was a middle-aged man with healthy wheat-colored skin, whose exposed face and skin were painted with special patterns.

The compiler’s gaze first landed on his palm, noticing the webbed fingers between them, and the fish spine-patterned Great Sword on his back indicated his status as a hunter.

No doubt, this was a Sea Folk Hunter.

Noticing the two gazes landing on his fingers, he didn’t care and simply walked beside the two, watching the fierce battle between the two monsters.

“What is that, do you have any clues?”

Curiosity lingered in the Sea Folk’s peripheral vision, suspicion and vigilance dissipated during his secret observation.

“Not clear, our reason for coming to the isolated island has nothing to do with them. We’re not poachers; we just have an important task requiring contact with the Guild.”

Suppressing the joy of finally seeing someone, the compiler explained forward.

“Hmm, there’s plenty of time along the way.”

The Sea Folk Hunter completely shifted his gaze from the monster to the wind-dusted duo. Their equipment and the Compiler’s Book earned him considerable trust in the two.

But confusion deepened. A seasoned Guild Hunter and a Compiler, such a combination was quite rare. How could they lose contact with the Guild?
