Chapter 713 - 676: Volcano Earth Dragon
The new enemies appeared, three giant lizards with red skin, indeed the old carrion-eating clan.
Da Fei couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief, as long as the opponents weren’t high-speed Air Force, he could minimize the casualties of his troops. Anyway, no matter how much Blood Defense you have, just bring it on, I guarantee I won’t kill you!
Now, Da Fei’s team was stealthily waiting behind Corpse Mountain, and the three giant lizards swaggered into Corpse Mountain as if nobody was there. It was not until they approached that Da Fei realized their size was as big as a bus, and their flickering tongues intermittently sprouted flames!
Da Fei couldn’t help but feel a heaviness in his heart, are these still lizards? To call them dragons wouldn’t be too far off, right?
Da Fei quickly said to Tamilia, "They can breathe fire, be careful not to let the Holy Vines get burned."
Tamilia replied solemnly, "I’ll do my best."
Da Fei waved his hand grandly: "Action!"
A vast expanse of Holy Vines shot out from Corpse Mountain, instantly tying the three giant lizards into a dumpling, then the bowstrings twanged, Anlicia took the lead, followed by Elena’s lightning from the sky, and Billbo’s noise also followed, with over a hundred and forty Forest Goddesses’ Flying Spears whistling out.
The concentrated fire was as splendid as ever, but the result of the battle was as gruesomely expected! In just that short moment, Da Fei was blinded by the barrage of single-digit damage that filled his sight!
Although he knew these Hell Monsters had defenses as thick as city walls, the harsh reality once again faced Da Fei, who always considered himself to have incredible Attack and Defense, still hard to bear. Think about it, he currently only has a mere 150 Attack, not enough to breach a second-tier city wall’s Defense, not at all a time to be complacent.
In any case, the only consolation was that Elena’s over ten-thousand damage lightning inflicted 500 damage on each giant lizard; her alone equaled the whole army. Now they could only rely on her.
The sudden ambush made the three giant lizards issue a deafening collective roar, a large surge of dust and hot air rushed towards Da Fei’s troops, and within the dust, Da Fei faintly saw three sparks flashing!
Damn! They can really spray that far? Da Fei, startled, waved his hand grandly, "Fire is coming, scatter the troops!"
Instantly, the Forest Goddess Army and the Angels rose into the sky, Da Fei’s Heroic Group’s Hell Horse mounts also immediately descended from the hill and galloped away.
At the moment Da Fei’s troops scattered, three thick pillars of fire blasted over, turning the spot where Da Fei had just stood into a sea of flames!
Damn it! Da Fei was instantly shocked! The creatures from hell, each one stronger than the last! Now Da Fei started to have second thoughts about whether to ambush that BOSS.
After spewing out flames, the three giant lizards roared again and began to struggle fiercely. Under their immense strength, the Holy Vines that bound them started to stretch tight and rapidly elongate with creaking sounds, seemingly about to break!
Da Fei, startled, eyes widened, these were three or four Holy Vines binding one giant lizard, just how strong was the power of these giant lizards!
Da Fei asked anxiously, "Miss Tachiusu, can you release the Vine Jungle?"
Tachiusu replied in a hurry, "I’m sorry, the skill is still cooling down, I can’t use it!"
Seeing Tamilia looking anxious at that moment, Da Fei gritted his teeth and made a decisive decision, "Give it up! Don’t entangle with them anymore!"
Tamilia exclaimed, "But, Lord City Lord?"
Da Fei said solemnly, "First save the Holy Vines, then slowly figure out a way!"
"Understood!" Tamilia waved her slender hand, and the eleven Holy Vines instantaneously unraveled and snapped back—
In just that instant, a dramatic scene unfolded. The three giant lizards, struggling with all their might, suddenly freed, shot out like three enormous frogs. They flew from halfway up the mountain, drawing three trails of heavy dust, screaming towards the foot of the mountain, then crash landing! Dust flying everywhere!
—Bang bang bang!!! Echoing booms reverberated through the canyon, and from a distance, amidst the rolling dust, it seemed like three rows of five-digit damage numbers leaped out!
At this moment, Da Fei’s entire team was dumbstruck!
Isn’t that something! Can it really be like this? Regaining his senses, Da Fei immediately sent the Blood Eagle down to check the situation. He saw the three giant lizards with bleeding heads, struggling non-stop, and above their heads were three spinning halo circles of stars—this was the stunned status!
Indeed, the bigger they are, the harder they fall, the worse they crash, Da Fei burst into hearty laughter! If even this wouldn’t kill you, I might as well quit!
Overjoyed, Da Fei waved his hand grandly: "All forces, attack!"
In an instant, Da Fei’s troops rapidly gathered at the foot of the mountain, launching a frantic attack on the unconscious giant lizards. Not only were the lizards completely unable to retaliate, their defense was also much weaker than before, and strings of two-digit damage numbers emerged vividly!
With no suspense, amidst Da Fei’s loud laughter, one of the lizards let out a tragic scream and suddenly died, the whole team cheering!
—System Prompt: You have killed a Volcano Earth Dragon, gained 108,000 experience points, and obtained 1 Demon Dragon Essence! Your Reconnaissance Skill Intelligence Collection has collected incomplete information on the Volcano Earth Dragon.
Da Fei’s laughter halted in surprise and astonishment! Volcano Earth Dragon? What the heck, it’s really a dragon! Damn, I did go big this time!
Da Fei hurriedly checked the information collected on the Earth Dragon: Defense Value 250, special skill "Flame Spray." The rest were unknown question marks, even the Life Value was absent, probably because it couldn’t collect the life value data lost from the fall. But it’s probably at least tens of thousands, which surely wouldn’t qualify as a boss in a hellish place like this.
Overall, its Defense is awesome! But, isn’t there a mistake, even if it’s just an Earth Dragon, shouldn’t it be considered a dragon? Why only give a Demon Dragon Essence? Players killing Ghost Dragons in the wild might get some resources or even luck out with some equipment, but this is hell, such a high-end scene, such a powerful being, and it drops nothing substantial?
But then again, it appears that the twenty-plus creatures killed earlier only dropped essences, and no gear at all, right? Thinking about it, if hell dropped high-end gear, then this would be heaven, not hell. Now, I can only hope for this Demon Dragon Essence. The strength of this demon dragon is certainly not below the BOSS Flesh Chaos Demon I killed earlier, whose essence directly swapped for an Angel. My Demon Dragon Essence reasonably shouldn’t be inferior.
Alright, essence secured, naturally, I won’t pass up its flesh and skin. Just one problem though, these three Earth Dragons, each as big as a bus—how can my hundred-plus Forest Goddesses plus Angels haul them up the mountain? Damn, that’s a major issue! Or should I transplant directly on their bodies? But if I transplant, the forces become scattered, which is pointless, right?
Just as Da Fei was frowning in deep thought, another Earth Dragon screamed its last.
—System Prompt: Battle over! You have killed a Volcano Earth Dragon, gained 108,000 experience points, and obtained 1 Demon Dragon Essence...
The entire squad cheered again, with Billbo already eagerly waving a small knife, impatient to start harvesting.
Now, the entire army aimed at the last Earth Dragon, but as Da Fei frowned deeply in thought, he felt there was a very important thing he couldn’t achieve—if the issue of transporting the bodies of these three Earth Dragons wasn’t resolved, then wasn’t all this killing pointless? Of course, having the essence meant it wouldn’t be pointless, but for the growth of the Holy Vine, for the mission, it nearly equaled pointless killing, and if pointless—
In that instant, looking at the defenseless Earth Dragon, Da Fei’s eyebrows suddenly twitched—if it’s pointless, then I might as well not kill! Da Fei was reminded once again of the technique taught by Dwarf Heroes Hangeval—"War Intimidation"!
—War Intimidation: During battle, there is a certain chance that the enemy’s forces will cower or even flee in surrender. The effectiveness of this skill depends on the comparison of military strength between the two sides, morale, and the level of Leadership Skill. Prerequisite for learning: Possess Master-level Diplomacy.
Now, doesn’t this completely powerless Earth Dragon meet all the conditions to subdue a BOSS? Besides, it’s not even a boss, there’s no reason I can’t subdue it, right? Once I subdue it, not only do I gain a combatant, I also gain a laborer, and all problems are solved!
Suddenly realizing this, an exhilarated Da Fei waved his hand and shouted, "Hold your fire! I want to capture it alive!" (To be continued.
