Chapter 398: The Explosive Slaying Dragon.
“If that’s the case…”
Jié Jié recalled an idea he’d had for a long time.
The Sui Long can use Slime Mold Bursting Fist; why can’t the Slaying Dragon replace its tail attributes with explosive ones?
The two individuals of the Slaying Dragon, Jìnmiè Rèn, are like this because the reason their sword tails can explode is due to the red flame sac storing explosive dust, allowing the tail to be coated in a bursting state.
As he thought, the Sui Long’s tail stretched rapidly. It transformed into a Slaying Dragon and observed its own condition.
The slime mold still clung to its body. Turning his head to look at the raised tail, dragging it lightly across the ground revealed the slime mold filaments glowing and heating up due to friction.
He then sent the sword tail into his mouth to grind it…
“Boom!”
Jié Jié was caught off guard by the explosion, stumbling and falling to the ground.
“This won’t do.”
He wasn’t sure if it was the effect brought on by the Sui Long or some undiscovered characteristic of the Slaying Dragon’s saliva, but he clearly felt the slime mold on the sword tail activate upon contact with the saliva.
Just as he thought the explosive slaying dragon concept might work and wanted to celebrate by sharpening the tail, unexpectedly, the initial grinding caused the slime mold to explode directly, leading to a catastrophic failure.
It seems the slime mold sword tail and blade sharpening aren’t compatible.
Jié Jié was just thinking this when he suddenly saw the Sui Long being bombed again by critical slime molds.
No, being bombed doesn’t mean incompatibility. The Sui Long has been bombed by slime molds all its life but also coexisted with them all its life.
It was merely a catastrophic failure, yet the sword tail still got sharpened, the slime mold remained activated, and the only significant damage was a negligible wound inside the mouth.
Isn’t the fireball passing through the Fire Dragon’s throat burning it every day?
Staring at his sword tail, lifting and shaking it, he resolutely swung it into his mouth, feeling the slime mold burst open inside.
Try after try, just like how one learns to spit fireballs from not knowing how, his tongue Prprpr licked a few times, and he could even hide large lumps of slime mold in his mouth!
“He～Tui～”
A red and bright lump of slime mold was spat out of his mouth and soon reached the critical point, exploding.
“Very good!”
“Bang!”
As soon as he finished speaking, other parts of the slime mold on his body reached the critical point and exploded, seemingly responding to him.
The Sui Long, which had been getting bombed all along, saw Jie Jie also getting bombed, with explosions more intense than its own, and its gaze lit up with special brilliance, as if it had met a kindred spirit who shared its suffering.
After playing around in the form of the explosive slaying dragon for a while, Jie Jie began inspecting the shell state of the Sui Long.
Slime molds themselves have the characteristic of strengthening the mineral growth of shells, and critical slime molds, apart from having stronger explosive power, have further enhanced this characteristic.
In the Golden Land, it’s safe and there’s no shortage of high-quality minerals, so the quality of the Sui Long’s shell is climbing quickly, and the original deep blue color has become even darker.
The size of the Sui Long is also growing again amidst the continuous cracking and regeneration of its shell.
After confirming the situation was good, Jie Jie found Nana patiently simmering soup, took a sip of hot soup, and wagged his tail to invite her to go out together into the world of two dragons.
The scenery of the Gathering Demon Land is worth sharing.
…
Pushing aside the clouds and mist, they beheld the towering mountains before them.
This time, two Sunfire Dragons landed on the peak to the north of the Gathering Demon Land.
It was very cold here, and looking further north, the ten-thousand-ren-high rock mountains of the outer rim of the New Continent were covered in frost, wrapped in a layer of icy mist, resembling a fairyland.
Some peaks of the rock mountains could see the nests of Wind Drift Dragons, with a layer of cloud mist spread below, much like the top of the Coral Land Plateau.
Indeed, the peak of the Coral Land Plateau could be called a fairyland.
However, there was quite a degree of disconnect from normal climate conditions here, which could only be caused by Ancient Dragon activities.
The Miasma Zone and Lava Zone are mostly naturally formed after the death of Magma Mountains, and the barren land is shaped by Flame King Dragon activities. The lush forests are the most normal and make up most of the environment of the Gathering Demon Land.
And the northeastern part of the Coral Land area likely has a similar origin to the Coral Land Plateau, both evolving under abundant energy.
Jie Jie could feel Nana drawing closer beside him, wanting to feel his warmth and wanting him to feel hers.
After all, it was indeed a bit cold here.
Cuddling up is good too.
Seeing that Nana didn’t show any resistance to leaving, Jie Jie led her down, spotting some snow deer on the steep cliffs of the snowy area. The rugged terrain and harsh climate made it difficult for large monsters to reach them, and the only thing to watch out for was the harassment of carnivorous flying dragons.
They couldn’t miss this opportunity; Nana had already caught a snow deer in her mouth.
They flew into the window of the Gathering Demon Land and entered the internal cave of the snowy area.
The azure ice layer encased the rock layers, and the external daylight reflected continuously on the ice crystals, making it exceptionally bright.
Like other places in the Gathering Demon Land, there were traces of monster activities and territorial disputes here, but cleaned up by the Ice Jackals, it was also clean.
The couple of Sunfire Dragons leaned close to each other, took out a large pot, started a big fire, and the lingering aroma of meat attracted the attention of the Ice Jackals.
But these small Fang Dragon Types dared only sniff and lacked the courage to attack the two Ancient Dragons.
They didn’t dare, but there were other large monsters who did.
A Hōng Lóng jumped into the cave from outside, its mouth still exuding the bloody smell of snow deer, clearly having climbed the steep cliffs to hunt snow deer and was attracted by the special smell.
It paced around, sizing up the two Ancient Dragons, neither showing fear nor rushing recklessly, its gaze finally locking onto the pot emitting the aroma of meat.
This Hōng Lóng confirmed its purpose—it came for food, not to fight to the death!
The limbs of the Hōng Lóng bent slightly, agile and swift like a tiger, its large mouth capable of swallowing the pot opened wide, and it charged towards the pot without any pretense.
“Bang!”
The Hōng Lóng came fast but left faster, its massive body flying backward directly.
It got up, only to see a larger Slaying Dragon raising its sword tail, and it felt intense pain on its side where a long, deep gash had been slashed open.
It had been cleaved away by a single stroke.
The steadily flowing blood was frozen by the cold, but the cold also seeped into its body through the blood, piercing into its bones.
The only warmth visible within sight was the aroma of grilled meat, and the heat permeating from the Slaying Dragon’s sword tail, but it looked unbearably cold, like a fortress.
The Hōng Lóng leaped left and right but saw the sword light always locked onto it, preventing any chance of attack.
When it wanted to leave, it heard a “bang,” and the Slaying Dragon stumbled, exposing a vulnerability.
Great opportunity!
The frozen wound was pulled apart, producing bloody ice chips. The Hōng Lóng’s gaze passed under the Slaying Dragon, firmly locking onto the strongly aromatic piece of meat in front of the Flame Empress Dragon.
“Chihla—”
The Hōng Lóng flew out again, feeling the wound burning painfully, as if something had exploded.
