Chapter 198: Alarm sirens pierce the ears, the path of Burst Scales.
“ANNNNGGGGGER～”
A moment of bombing feels great, and continuous bombing is pure bliss!
With an impressive recovery ability boost, Jiē Jié’s burst scales grow at a rapid pace, much like Extinction Dragon’s white thorns.
The mine-laying vehicle left a trail, as did the bomber planes that followed suit.
Their love for the romantic fireworks on the ground seems to have been evident since childhood when they played with firecrackers.
They experimented with timing the water splash from submerged firecrackers; placed them in various spots for trials; even held onto firecrackers watching their flames extinguish, those tiny sparks blossoming under fingertips.
The first ones unable to contain themselves were the police officers driven by justice, who couldn’t help but rush into action.
Another Burst Scale Dragon flew down from a hollow in the mountain above, roaring loudly toward Jiē Jié who was enforcing the law, trying to stop his rampage.
Six monsters gathered together. This Burst Scale Dragon was closest, its battle senses jumping wildly as if about to explode.
But upon truly seeing the monster triggering its battle senses, it hesitated.
If it’s just another Burst Scale Dragon, there’s no camaraderie among police dragons; they always end up fighting each other.
And yet, it felt schadenfreude seeing this Burst Scale Dragon being attacked by four Fire Dragons.
But when it saw those four Fire Dragons leaving their comrade behind and charging straight at it, the whole dragon felt uneasy.
Turns out these were escort fighter jets, and it was the one destined to be surrounded and attacked by four Fire Dragons.
Not fair! Why does it get four escort fighters?
Confusion aside, Burst Scale Dragons truly fear sub-species or rare species with superior flight capabilities; regular Fire Dragons can’t pose a threat to them.
Still, after some entangled fighting, it was the Burst Scale Dragon that fell from the sky first.
“ANG!!!”
The Fire Dragons roared triumphantly; knocking down other flying creatures is the greatest joy for the air dominants.
After roaring, they took turns diving at the grounded Burst Scale Dragon, creating numerous scars on its not-so-hard scales.
Though these scars meant little to the thick-skinned Burst Scale Dragon, they were rare positive feedback for the Fire Dragons after arriving at the Dragon Crystal Land.
But the Burst Scale Dragon, one of the apex predators in its ecological niche, wasn’t an easy opponent either.
The burst liquid breath weapon of the Burst Scale Dragon is an effective anti-air measure. Once hit and brought down to the ground, the Fire Dragons would face land-based suppression from the top predator.
Jiē Jié’s burst scales could blow over the heavily armored Spiny Dragon, and ordinary Burst Scale Dragons wouldn’t be far off. The chin-smash of a Burst Scale Dragon could severely damage a Fire Dragon.
Worried, Jiē Jié watched for a while before deciding to join the fray.
The long roar served as a warning, allowing the Fire Dragons to dodge. Rising from the fiery explosion of the destroyed bomber plane stood a Spiny Dragon.
Its head crushed beneath the foot, released afterward, the physical blows triggered multiple explosions of its burst scales, weakening it further with toxins.
As wave after wave of burst scales exploded into flames, the burst gland under the Burst Scale Dragon’s jaw entered a cooldown period, and poisonous blood flowed continuously from its mouth, leaving it utterly weakened.
Only then did Jiē Jié hand over the battlefield to the Fire Dragons.
He had long noticed the mood swings of his young ones. The Dragon Crystal Land is indeed dangerous; even grouped together, young Fire Dragons find it hard to survive here.
There are abundant energy fields generated by dragon crystals here, but also more challenging monsters and greater competitive pressure.
No matter, he himself would stay here for a long time with them, looking for the Míng Dēng Lóng still cocooned.
Time passed amidst the roars of Fire Dragons and Burst Scale Dragons; the Spiny Dragon had long rolled away out of sight.
The Burst Scale Dragon fell, greatly surprising Jiē Jié.
He originally thought the Burst Scale Dragon could endure through the cooldown period, regrow its burst scales, recover strength, and continue the fight for a long time.
But looking at the Burst Scale Dragon’s battered body, and then glancing back at the proud Fire Dragons resembling roosters,
Iron Pot proudly displayed the broken wing of the Burst Scale Dragon it had bitten off, lifting its chest high, showcasing its injuries with pride, as did its younger siblings.
Four against one injured opponent, how could they possibly lose!
Dragging the corpse of the Burst Scale Dragon to a corner, the exhausted Fire Dragons ate and then fell asleep.
Jiē Jié kept watch nearby.
After all, this is the Dragon Crystal Land; caution was necessary.
Because he had to take care of the young ones, his jaw hadn’t healed yet.
Fortunately, no monsters appeared until the Fire Dragons woke up.
The Fire Dragons slept for three hours before waking up. After taking over the guard duty, Jiē Jié transformed into a spider-like form and hid in the rock crevices, quickly recovering his damaged mandibles with the aid of Extinction Dragon’s gemstone.
Until he crawled out of the crevice, no monsters disturbed them.
Upon careful consideration, all nearby Terror Tyrants and Burst Scale Dragons had been defeated.
The Spiny Dragons, after a series of bombings and pursuits, must have been frightened and hidden away.
Magma Dragons won’t appear where there are no lava pools.
This area, dominated by two apex predators, had been forcibly turned into a safe zone by them.
Truly remarkable.
After resting in the surrounding area for two days and finishing the remaining Burst Scale Dragon, Jiē Jié set off again with the Fire Dragons.
Without rushing underground, he led the Fire Dragons out, wandering among the towering mountains nearby.
He remembered that around the highlands of dragon crystals were often the territories of Steel Dragons and Burst Scale Dragons.
Encountering a red-nosed clown and having a fight should unlock new forms, and mentioning Burst Scale Dragons was because he wanted to find the sub-species Red Lotus Burst Scale Dragon.
Red Lotus Burst Scale Dragons are Burst Scale Dragons that have become energy-rich after prolonged activity in the Dragon Crystal Land. Unlike regular Burst Scale Dragons, they no longer travel extensively or act as “police,” instead preferring to stay in the Dragon Crystal Land.
It’s like being promoted to captain, able to comfortably sit in the office.
Extinction Dragon’s gemstone similarly enhances the secretion ability of Burst Scale Dragons’ burst glands, allowing faster regeneration of burst scales, making bombing extremely enjoyable. This made Jiē Jié yearn for the even more explosive Red Lotus Burst Scale Dragon.
Five Flying Dragons recklessly flaunted their presence in the highlands of the Dragon Crystal Land, finally prompting the police chief at the main station to act.
“ANNNNGGGGGER～”
With a familiar but even shriller alarm sound angrily blaring, the Red Lotus Burst Scale Dragon, with scales redder and brighter than normal Burst Scale Dragons, made its entrance.
Without letting the Red Lotus Burst Scale Dragon gain aerial superiority, Jiē Jié took the initiative, charging at it in the form of a Spiny Dragon.
This time, Jiē Jié utilized control over the wind, destroying the Red Lotus Burst Scale Dragon’s glide during the collision, causing it to crash to the ground.
“BOOM!”
The forced殉explosion also caused the ammunition of the bomber plane to explode upon violent impact. The Red Lotus Burst Scale Dragon lifted its head and let out another long roar.
Enraged by the forced殉explosion, many of its scales began turning a bright purple-white, unexploded burst scales falling to the ground like blooming crimson flowers gradually swelling up.
This is the origin of the name “Red Lotus,” the romance Jiē Jié currently pursued, even more powerful explosive abilities!
Come on, surpass the way of burst scales!
He dove downward.
