Chapter 133: The Challenger Has Been Triggered.
“Roar!”
As the power within surged with emotion, Jié Jié let out a sonorous roar.
This was akin to the power surge when a monster became enraged. Special fluids secreted according to the body’s emotional state, stimulating an increased heart rate and greater output.
In this situation, it was time for a fight!
Yes! A fight!
At the bottom of the Valley of Miasma lay the Corpse Suit Dragon.
That’s right, let’s go pick a fight with him!
If I can’t gnaw on a dead Ancient Dragon, can’t I at least take on a living one?
A Regular Ancient Dragon might be tough, but isn’t the Ancient Dragon’s Shame an easy target?
Watch him speed through the Valley of Miasma!
The challenger has been triggered!
With high morale, the force of his wing flaps increased again. Jié Jié’s flight capability allowed him to bypass the complex terrain of the Valley of Miasma as he flew deeper in.
But before flying too far, Jié Jié spotted something quite interesting.
Rolling.
He saw the long Bone Hammer Dragon curling itself into a tire shape and rolling down the tunnel formed by the Snake King Dragon’s skeleton.
The Bone Hammer Dragon’s skin color resembled a tire, and its surface could secrete heavy oil that stuck bones from the upper levels of the Valley of Miasma all over its body.
Jié Jié changed his target on the spot and dived straight toward the Bone Hammer Dragon.
His powerful claws pressed the rolling tire onto the tunnel floor, kicking off large chunks of bone from the Bone Hammer Dragon’s body before piercing its tough skin.
With one flap of his wings, the Bone Hammer Dragon was lifted up and then slammed hard onto the ground.
After several slams, the Bone Hammer Dragon’s bones shattered, and its struggling weakened.
Just as Jié Jié was about to finish it off with a fireball, a pale blue gas sprayed from its abdomen towards the Fire Dragon.
“I almost forgot about this!”
The sudden situation caused Jié Jié to beat his wings and retreat, avoiding the sleep-inducing gas while dispersing it with the wind pressure from his wings.
While leaping back into the air, he didn’t forget to launch another fireball, exploding on the Bone Hammer Dragon’s abdomen.
After confirming the Bone Hammer Dragon was dead, he tore open its abdomen with his claws and began feeding, carefully avoiding the sleep sacs inside.
As a high-yield meat source among the beast dragons, although the Bone Hammer Dragon’s meat wasn’t as good as those on the ground, it was still much tastier than Grim Claw Dragon.
Especially when eating the outer layer of tar along with the skin and meat, there was a unique texture and flavor.
Unfortunately, Jié Jié couldn’t find any gemstones on the Bone Hammer Dragon, but he didn’t mind. He transformed into a Bone Hammer Dragon right there.
The newly born Bone Hammer Dragon lacked bones as armor but couldn’t resist Jié Jié’s urge to drive.
Curling himself up, he rocked slightly following his instincts and rolled down like a tire.
Such an experience might shake most creatures’ brains, even Jié Jié, who now had the physiology of a Bone Hammer Dragon, felt some discomfort.
But after spinning around, he had to adapt to the discomfort.
After several retries during the journey, Jié Jié arrived at the end of the road at the service station, plunging headfirst into a pile of bones.
Bone Hammer Dragons have a peculiar diet; these white bones not only stick to their bodies as armor but also serve as food.
Jié Jié swam in the pile of bones, bones attaching to his body forming armor, occasionally taking a bite of one.
The teeth of Bone Hammer Dragons are all flat molars specifically evolved for gnawing bones.
Bones aren’t tasty, and they contain bacteria that degrade them, which is the real source of nutrition for Bone Hammer Dragons.
It can be said that Bone Hammer Dragons are monsters completely dependent on bones, greatly limited by their environment.
After completing his armor, Jié Jié chose the steepest slope and continued rolling down, getting faster and faster.
What’s a brake? Not needed at all.
And so, he rolled towards a Hōng Lóng walking up the path.
The Bone Hammer Dragon rolling couldn’t see ahead, Jié Jié only felt something stopping him, followed by strong bites tearing at his body.
An intense sense of danger made the Bone Hammer Dragon instantly unfold from its curled-up tire shape. Jié Jié then saw that it was a Hōng Lóng blocking the way.
The Bone Hammer Dragon was just a bone-eater, low on the food chain. Encountering a top predator like the Hōng Lóng left no other choice but defeat.
Even with the boosts Jié Jié gained from consuming Dragon Gems, they were useless on the Bone Hammer Dragon, merely ensuring it wouldn’t be killed in one bite by the Hōng Lóng.
Then, don’t be a Bone Hammer Dragon anymore.
Jié Jié lamented his weakness as the Bone Hammer Dragon’s form stretched out, the long flexible neck contracted, and the hard shell covered over.
From being able to bite blood-filled wounds to leaving only tooth marks took less than a second.
Ignoring the heavy pressure from the Hōng Lóng, the Spiny Dragon stood up, brutally twisting its neck. The nose tip’s horn scraped against the resilient skin, pressing into its chest.
Before the Hōng Lóng understood what happened to its prey, Jié Jié raised his head, the horn pierced through the Hōng Lóng’s chest lifting it up.
The Hōng Lóng’s front claws slapped the Spiny Dragon’s body, its blood-filled mouth tearing at it, but unable to find a good angle.
The sense of crisis mixed with the poison seeping into its body tore at the Hōng Lóng’s nerves. Ignoring the spines covering its body, it used its front claws to climb onto Jié Jié and flung itself away.
Even though the chest to abdomen area was slashed deeply, nearly grazing the reproductive tract.
It seemed Jié Jié threw it off, purple blood flowed from the chest and abdominal wounds, thanks to the Spiny Dragon’s bleeding toxin.
“Roar!!”
The Hōng Lóng roared as it fell behind, its body bulging, red light emanating from behind its eyes and arms, extremely intimidating.
Jié Jié, whose head was stepped on, turned around, anger rising, increasing his heartbeat and expanding his blood vessels. Red light flashed more ferociously on his back and wings than the Hōng Lóng.
The challenger has been triggered.
But save the roaring for after victory. What needs to be done now is to step forward.
Powerful legs moved, lowering the head with the horn aimed at the Hōng Lóng that had just finished fighting.
Similar to the Hōng Lóng’s fifty kilometers per hour Dragon Charge, the Spiny Dragon’s horn pierced through the Hōng Lóng’s shoulder, impaling it and knocking it down.
The horn exited from another wound, tearing a grotesque gash across its side, and both feet trampled over it.
Having charged too far, Jié Jié turned around, aiming the horn at the Hōng Lóng again and charging.
This time, the horn tore through the Hōng Lóng’s side, and the Spiny Dragon trampled over it once more.
For the third time, the Spiny Dragon turned, lowered its head, and charged at the Hōng Lóng that had flipped over again.
Is this your Car Car Car Dragon, huh?!
