Chapter 186: The Trio of Black-skinned, Horned Dragons.
The liquefied sand and scattered gold stuck to the body of the Black Horned Dragon, its spouse having abandoned it. Covered in wounds, whether attempting another assault or fleeing this place, it once again lowered its head and began digging into the ground.
The sand on the ground boiled and liquefied, no longer as easy to dig through as before.
The enraged Glittering Dragon roared, focusing a high-temperature heat wave that continuously baked the Black Horned Dragon.
The Black Horned Dragon’s shell was visibly melting at an alarming rate; just a few more seconds, and it would transition from liquid to vapor.
“Roar!”
Dense white thorns pierced through the body of the Fire Dragon, which was turning black. A massive horn burst out of its skull, sturdy forelimbs tearing open its chest.
At the same time, control over the air currents rapidly faded. Using the remaining airflow to boost its wings, the Extinction Dragon dove towards the Glittering Dragon’s head once more.
The continuous focus of the heat wave breath weapon was interrupted, allowing the Black Horned Dragon to escape vaporization. However, unable to dig any longer, it was crushed under the heavy body of the Glittering Dragon, half-buried in the liquefied sand.
The staggering Glittering Dragon turned its head, its horizontal pupils slightly narrowing, clearly recognizing Jié Jié.
Heat focused into tangible breath weapons with every roar, relentlessly chasing after Jié Jié who leapt from the ground and flapped his wings in the air.
Recalling the last time, such focused heat waves were fleeting, but now they could be sustained for much longer.
This Glittering Dragon was undoubtedly stronger than before.
Using the rising thermal updrafts, Jié Jié continuously dodged, narrowly avoiding the breath weapon multiple times. He noticed that while it had gained persistence, the resulting high temperature dissipated more severely, not as scorching as when it was instantaneous.
Flying into the Glittering Dragon’s blind spot, he took advantage of the breath weapon’s interruption to begin attacking its massive curved horns.
Watching the monster battling the Golden Ancient Dragon from hiding, the Dragon People Tribe hunter rubbed his dry eyes.
The intense heat made the vision extremely blurry, making him question if he was hallucinating due to heatstroke.
He witnessed firsthand how the abnormally large Male Fire Dragon instantly transformed into a four-legged, double-winged creature covered in spikes.
His brain froze as it struggled to process what he saw. Even the most extreme examples of metamorphosis in nature couldn’t explain what he had just witnessed.
What was going on?
Perhaps only the mystery of the Ancient Dragons could explain the situation earlier?
With four limbs and two wings, the monstrous creature covered in spikes had the standard physiological structure of an Ancient Dragon species.
Was the previous Male Fire Dragon using some form of disguise ability?
The hot weather and blurred vision, coupled with the harsh environment, made it incredibly difficult for the hunter to trust his own eyes.
If he didn’t believe his eyes, who would believe that a living Male Fire Dragon could transform into another monster?
The Dragon People Tribe hunter retreated, wanting to move away from the increasingly hot battlefield.
Realizing he was suffering from heatstroke, the hunter looked down and noticed the rising heat emanating from the ground, understanding that this was the true cause of his condition.
It wasn’t just the sun hanging high in the sky that emitted heat; the earth beneath his feet could also be a source.
With his last ounce of reason, he recorded what had just happened, splashed some water on his face, and laid down on a blanket in a relatively safe area, ensuring he could grab water upon waking.
Jié Jié was unaware that there was a hunter spying in the wilderness. At this moment, he was attempting something he failed to do last time.
Break the Glittering Dragon’s horns, even one would suffice.
Compared to regular Extinction Dragons, Jié Jié preferred aerial combat.
Now under the sky, with height and environment unrestricted unlike underground, he had more room to maneuver.
Continuously tempting the Glittering Dragon to attack and expend energy, he struck its head during its openings.
White thorns broke off in rounds of collisions, replaced by black thorns.
Jié Jié leisurely flapped his wings in the air, observing the more aggressive Glittering Dragon and pondering when she would come to her senses and retreat underground.
As the battle shifted, the previously melted sand cooled into crystals. Jié Jié transformed from the Extinction Dragon into the Burst Scale Dragon, regaining his suppressed wind control abilities.
This allowed even the less agile Burst Scale Dragon to dodge the Glittering Dragon’s breath weapon.
Jié Jié hovered above her head, showering her with numerous burst scales.
The Glittering Dragon’s large size became a disadvantage as countless burst scales exploded on her body, scattering gold everywhere, effectively peeling off her armored scales.
After several unsuccessful breath attacks, the Glittering Dragon’s aggression decreased significantly. Was it due to exhaustion or had she regained awareness and wanted to retreat?
Perhaps enduring a few hits might make her feel better?
Before new burst scales could grow back, Jié Jié transformed back into the Extinction Dragon and charged towards the Glittering Dragon’s head once more.
Pretending to be knocked away as she violently shook her head, Jié Jié fell to the ground and performed the classic Extinction Dragon skill—playing dead.
Jié Jié narrowed his eyes, his limbs tensed under his wings, ready for a counterattack.
If the Glittering Dragon came close for melee combat, it would be ideal.
The Glittering Dragon’s claws dug into the ground, unleashing a heat wave breath weapon that greatly disappointed Jié Jié.
If it was just an instant breath weapon, he could wait a bit longer; the Extinction Dragon had strong fire resistance.
Taking the full brunt of the breath weapon, Jié Jié adjusted his position to a more advantageous posture, observing the Glittering Dragon’s next move.
The ground trembled lightly, but the Glittering Dragon remained stationary?
Caught off guard while trying to lure the Glittering Dragon, Jié Jié was sent flying.
No! Sister, why don’t you just run if you’re not dead yet?
Why restore your strength just to hit me?
Seeing the Black Horned Dragon groaning under the Glittering Dragon’s breath weapon as he was sent flying, Jié Jié realized the “Horn Lord” was sacrificing itself to save him.
But he could dodge and withstand it himself!
Before landing, Jié Jié readied his wings, but his target was no longer the Glittering Dragon but the fallen Black Horned Dragon.
Back then in the Gathering Demon Land, a Black Horned Dragon emerged from underground and sent three people, who had just defeated a seasoned Flame Meow and were looting its corpse, straight back to camp—a series of tragic white chicken question marks!
You, Horn Lord, remain the Horn Lord. It takes two Ancient Dragons working together to take you out first!
After tearing off a large piece of meat from the shattered back armor of the Black Horned Dragon, Jié Jié looked up and saw the Glittering Dragon charging with a thunderous impact.
Chewing on the Black Horned Dragon meat in mid-air, Jié Jié felt confident enough to attempt a direct confrontation.
Worthy of being the Horn Lord, eating a big chunk of the Horn Lord’s meat, he felt invigorated all over.
A mere Glittering Dragon, watch him overpower it with sheer force!
