Chapter 88: Flame Burst!
The sharp claws slashed through the Burst Scale Dragon’s scales during a dive, while its tail shattered the remaining scales.
Just like in the game, the Burst Scale Dragon’s meat was indeed of high quality.
But beneath the cut scales, red molten liquid secreted out, directly filling the wounds and sealing off any toxins.
“Roar!”
The Burst Scale Dragon continuously taunted on the ground, flapping its wings but unable to take flight.
It could only be mocked by the Fire Dragon above, leaving behind streaks of scars.
When Jié Jié dove again, the Burst Scale Dragon stood up, swinging its massive head towards him. The explosive ammunition it had previously lost had already been replenished, with the burst scales on its chin glowing red.
A firelight akin to lotus blossoms bloomed as the two collided, allowing the Bomber to take off again after reducing its load, embracing the Fighter Jet.
In its rage, the Burst Scale Dragon’s explosive glands continuously secreted explosive bodily fluids, which then condensed into water-drop shaped burst scales.
These burst scales began their mission from the moment they were born, exploding repeatedly between the two dragons.
Not adhering to aerial combat rules, the Burst Scale Dragon struggled to flip its body in the air, attempting to grab the Fire Dragon to explode together.
“Roar!”
The intense pain transmitted from the chest pressing against the Burst Scale Dragon’s chin caused Jié Jié to loosen his grip, breaking free from its embrace and ascending.
At the same time, he clawed at its chin, triggering another series of explosions.
With the Male Fire Dragon’s detachment, the Burst Scale Dragon once again accepted gravity fully, smashing onto the ground with its back.
Three consecutive fireballs exploded on its abdomen. Nearly a year had passed, and this technique had been mastered by Jié Jié.
But for the Burst Scale Dragon, which frequently self-exploded in the Dragon Crystal Land, the reduced-sized fireballs for speed clearly weren’t enough.
It rose from the ground, only to have its head stepped on by the diving Fire Dragon.
The Burst Scale Dragon fell to the ground, its chin making intimate contact with the ground, setting off a chain of its own burst scales.
This time, Jié Jié did not disengage after one strike; instead, he plunged his claws directly into the Burst Scale Dragon’s head with the force of his downward dive.
Flapping his wings to stay airborne, he lifted both claws and tore repeatedly across its head.
Toxins successfully entered the Burst Scale Dragon’s body during the tearing.
Jié Jié bent down, surveying the charred flesh visible beneath the broken scales on his chest, then bit into the Burst Scale Dragon’s back.
If embraced by this guy and exploded together, who could withstand it?
Toxins and the pain of being preyed upon eroded the Burst Scale Dragon’s body. Facing the Male Fire Dragon suppressing it from its back, the apex of the ecological niche seemed like fish meat waiting to be slaughtered.
Facing the Fighter Jet, the Bomber was indeed like fish meat waiting to be slaughtered.
The sharp claws lingered on the Burst Scale Dragon’s back, tearing apart scales and flesh, penetrating deep into the bones until it was completely destroyed.
The Male Fire Dragon continued feeding.
The Burst Scale Dragon’s meat had not yet cooled, still carrying considerable heat. Its burst glands and explosive bodily fluids had lost most of their activity, giving a special taste when mixed in Jié Jié’s mouth.
It felt like his taste buds were about to explode, very stimulating.
Meanwhile, since the Burst Scale Dragon’s base was located in the Dragon Crystal Land, it carried abundant energy within its body. This energy flowed into the dream space during feeding and was channeled into the Spiny Dragon Totem.
The Burst Scale Dragon’s gemstone shone with a silver luster. After admiring it briefly in his claws, Jié Jié swallowed it.
Afterward, the Male Fire Dragon’s scales seemed to brighten slightly all over. With an especially high-pitched roar, his breath weapon would no longer be limited to the flame bag.
The burst gland structure that supported the Burst Scale Dragon’s breath and generation of burst scales took root in his body.
Although the bodily fluid secreted by the burst gland couldn’t flow out to create burst scales on the surface, it could generate inside the mouth to produce a second type of breath.
The volatile bodily fluid boiled in the mouth, ignited, and then spat out to explode on the ground.
Compared to the usual fireball, this one looked elongated and more stable in flight, with visibly superior explosion range and impact.
It was like adding rifling to a gun that never had it before, with new gunpowder filling the bullets. A bike-to-motorcycle level enhancement.
“Bang!”
Compared to the usual fireballs, this one stretched out, more stable during flight, with visibly greater explosive range and impact.
As if a gun without rifling suddenly added rifling and bullets filled with new gunpowder, enhancing it from a bicycle to a motorcycle.
“Indeed, hunting monsters at the top of the ecological niche yields better results.”
Jié Jié voiced his satisfaction.
However, his previous high-pitched roar seemed to stir someone who had returned.
The ground was vibrating. The Male Fire Dragon leisurely flew up, watching the Horned Dragon emerge with the Burst Scale Dragon’s corpse on its head.
You don’t take the road underground, you break through where there’s no door above.
The Horned Dragon shook its body to throw off the corpse on its head, only to be met with scorching heat exploding on its skull.
One hit knockdown.
Jié Jié vigorously flapped his wings in the air, producing more heat for the flame bag, filling more gunpowder into the bullets.
Is this a bullet? No, it’s an RPG!
Is this a fireball? No, it’s a Flame Burst!
The Flame Burst threw boiling molten liquid, blooming like flowers on the Horned Dragon’s head.
The Horned Dragon’s remaining horn was shattered, not just the horn, but even the thick crest showed cracks.
It was directly knocked unconscious, undoubtedly meaning death.
“Trouble, I’ve taken down two in a row, might not be able to eat anymore.”
The Mud Fish Dragon had already been digested earlier in the battle. Jié Jié descended from the air, first cutting the Horned Dragon with his blade before starting to feed on its corpse.
The Horned Dragon’s shell was hard, but the meat beneath the shell was delicious, satisfying his hunger and stuffing his mouth full.
Since seeing the outcome of the Great Thief Dragon’s corpse being discarded a year ago, he no longer thought overeating was wasteful.
No matter whose belly it enters, it will eventually return to dust, returning to the land.
Of course, indiscriminate killing is still wrong.
He lightened the load of the Horned Dragon and Burst Scale Dragon corpses, grabbing them one by one and throwing them into the swamp area.
The carcasses would be degraded by numerous microorganisms in the swamp, benefiting the swamp and also benefiting the many creatures living in the swamp.
Including the Gas Frogs and Mud Fish Dragons highlighted in red on Jié Jié’s recipe.
Beneficial to nature, beneficial to himself, mutual benefit.
Feeling satisfied from the mutual benefit, Jié Jié flew to the mountain peak separating the lush area from the Giant Ant Hill Wasteland, finding the nest he had built here before, coiled his body, and entered sleep.
Using the wound on his chest and the fatigue throughout his body, he digested the life energy within, crossing the boundary, entering the realm truly belonging to seasoned individuals.
