Chapter 213: A Gathering of Heroes, the Greedy Young King.
Alas for those minerals.
What a lively Dragon Crystal Land.
These were the two thoughts Jié Jié had after successfully retreating.
The native Extinction Dragon, the foreign Ice Curse Dragon, the newly arrived Flame King Dragon, and the Glittering Dragon who had somehow made its way here.
The Dragon Crystal Land truly became a place where Ancient Dragons roamed freely.
On the way flying towards the surface, another young Flame Empress Dragon passed by him, merely giving him a wary glance without engaging in battle.
She was also rushing towards the location where the battle was happening.
Jié Jié stared at the Flame Empress Dragon’s back until she disappeared from his line of sight, shaking his head, feeling that the Dragon Crystal Land was becoming increasingly dangerous.
He flew towards the mountainous region where the Fire Dragons rested, intending to join them.
The roar of the Fire Dragons ahead grew more distinct, prompting Jié Jié to vigorously flap his wings and accelerate his flight speed. He saw the Cāng Huǒ Lóng battling with his own Fire Dragons.
The traces of the strange Fire Dragon from yesterday were clearly left by it.
Anger surged within him. He dove down, placed the small Sui Long on the ground, roared, then leaped upward, colliding into the fray, hugging the Cāng Huǒ Lóng. The close-range explosion caused by shaking off dust directly knocked it to the ground.
With a powerful twist of its rather robust arms, the Flame King Dragon ended the life of the Cāng Huǒ Lóng.
It was too easy.
Between Jié Jié’s musings, the sensation brought by the perception of struggle surged like a tidal wave, impacting his thoughts, causing him to involuntarily look towards the direction from which they came.
Perhaps the Flame Empress Dragon had already joined the battlefield, and the Extinction Dragon might be on its way.
Not only these, the wondrous perception of struggle no longer pointed out directions, meaning that the entire Dragon Crystal Land could become a battlefield.
The fall of the old Flame King Dragon seemed to have only unveiled the prelude to reshuffling.
Leave? How could he miss this?
But before going, he must settle them all to avoid becoming blood packets amidst the chaos of the Ancient Dragons.
Jié Jié looked at the still-young Fire Dragons and the little Sui Long who had gained trust with just a bit of food.
A burden? He didn’t think so.
At first, there might have been thoughts of raising them as playthings or as reserve food, but the newborn Fire Dragons were truly adorable.
After parting and reuniting, these Fire Dragons still harbored emotions, remaining close to him, not turning into prey under his claws.
He picked up the small Sui Long, grabbed the corpse of the Cāng Huǒ Lóng, and led the Fire Dragons towards the Coral Land Plateau.
A flicker of thunder danced on the peaks in the opposite direction, while the sound of galloping hooves stopped just as it was about to pass Jié Jié.
Was this guy also coming to participate in the commotion of the Dragon Crystal Land?
No, this guy was more likely just here to spectate.
The Burst Scale Dragon had the perception of struggle; this shouldn’t be an isolated case. The Qí Lín most likely possessed a more advanced form of similar perception.
The unfamiliar Flame King Dragon and the familiar Qí Lín stared at each other, and the Flame King Dragon slowly descended from the air.
The Qí Lín watched him land without retreating or dodging, its gaze pausing on the small Sui Long Jié Jié carried in his mouth.
Recalling the legend of the Qí Lín raising human orphans, Jié Jié put down the small Sui Long, tentatively pushing it forward slightly.
He just wanted to try, after all, this Qí Lín was the most gentle and interactive Ancient Dragon he had ever encountered.
The Qí Lín gazed at him, stamped its hooves gently, and nodded slightly, seemingly understanding his intention and agreeing?
Jié Jié flapped his wings and took off, circling in the air to observe.
The small Sui Long looked up at him anxiously in the air, while the Qí Lín slowly approached it.
There seemed to be some kind of magic emanating from him, calming the small Sui Long’s emotions, making it obediently follow the thunderous hooves.
Watching the small Sui Long follow the Qí Lín disappear among the mountains, Jié Jié turned his gaze to the Fire Dragons.
He rubbed their heads one by one, settling them down before heading back towards the Dragon Crystal Land.
Behind him came a trace of airflow. Looking back, he saw the Fire Dragons dancing and roaring in the air, a social language of the Flying Dragon species.
Jié Jié transformed from the Flame King Dragon into a Fire Dragon to respond, then turned and left again.
The Fire Dragons did not chase after him.
…
At the Flame King Dragon’s nest at this moment, the surrounding area was completely destroyed by the Glittering Dragon, exposing the nest that the old Flame King Dragon had painstakingly tried to hide.
Fire against fire, the Sunfire Dragons and the Glittering Dragon couldn’t effectively harm each other in terms of size, but the massive body of Dì Mǔ Shén was there. One roll of her body was something the Sunfire Dragons couldn’t withstand.
Rock pillars were crushed, mixing solid and molten fragments with the winding lava flow.
The edges of the dome shattered under the impacts of the Glittering Dragon’s skull, every movement of the Ultra-Large Monster causing terrifying destruction.
After being violently awakened by Jié Jié initially, this Dì Mǔ Shén completely shook off the fatigue of the geothermal low period, her energy-rich body brimming with excitement for battles.
Her extremely aggressive nature and final anger kept her engaged in combat for a long time, and the arrival of the Extinction Dragon during the fight drew her attention further.
After all, Jié Jié had harassed her the most in the form of the Extinction Dragon.
The death of the old Flame King Dragon was like a stone stirring up thousands of waves, and missing such a feast made the Extinction Dragon extremely excited. The convergence of multiple energy sources and calamities attracted her here.
However, her main target was not the Glittering Dragon, but multiple Sunfire Dragons amidst the chaos.
Especially the Flame King Dragon that had suffered significant injuries after taking a direct hit from the Glittering Dragon.
As time went on, the Sunfire Dragons joining the fray were not limited to the one Flame King Dragon and one Flame Empress Dragon Jié Jié saw before leaving.
A pair of Sunfire Dragon mates, and a Flame King Dragon and a Flame Empress Dragon.
The Flame Empress Dragon in the Sunfire Dragon couple was clearly older than the Flame King Dragon, while the two Sunfire Dragons outside the couple were of similar age, descendants of the old Flame King Dragon.
They all came to the core area of the Dragon Crystal Land due to the death of the old Flame King Dragon to compete for territory, reshuffling the Dragon Crystal Land.
But the situation now was no longer about internal territorial disputes among the Sunfire Dragons. Facing the threats of the Glittering Dragon and the Extinction Dragon, they had to unite to face them.
Even former enemies are still social connections.
Rolling heat waves chaotically scattered, hell flares falling everywhere.
A Flame Empress Dragon climbed onto the body of Dì Mǔ Shén, sprinkling alluring purple flames over the scorching brilliant gold.
They all seemed to have lost their minds, restraining each other, none of the dragons leaving the battlefield.
The chaotic flames spread, cave after cave melted through the Glittering Dragon’s roars and rolls, the Odd-Faced Tribe’s rockets exploding into fiery sparks in the heat waves.
Finally “dressed up,” the Ice Curse Dragon flew towards the hottest spot of the Dragon Crystal Land, but seeing the battlefield below where the heat was so high that her ice armor melted, she dared not join, merely hovering in the air.
She had come to the Dragon Crystal Land before, but never had it been like this.
And beyond the battlefield, deep within the Dragon Crystal, there was also a burning joy, the greed of the young king waiting to be fed.
He now had the strength to express this greed, seeking more.
