Chapter 33: Chapter 33 Scythe-clawed Ferocious Dragon
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
“Yoooo——!”
The Ice Morning White Dragon let out a long chant, extending its magnificent main wings like the mythical phoenix of ice and snow.
An icy chill spread from its snowy feathers, sweeping through the chaotic forest like a storm, the evaporating cold water visibly quickening into rock-solid frost!
“Creak creak
Trees froze, rocks froze, a blanket of white frost overtook the Gold-plated Fire Dragon’s surge of heat waves, even turning the water snakes entwined around the dragon into hoops of ice!
The hooped frost firmly clamped around the Gold-plated Fire Dragon like shackles, rendering it unable to rise.
Teacher Duan Lan glanced at Zhu Minglang with a slight trace of delight on his face.
Seizing the rare opportunity, Ke Bei took a few steps back, extended his left hand towards the ground, palm down, and opened his own Spirit Realm.
The pattern of the Spirit Realm Map could be seen emerging in his palm and projecting onto the muddy ground in front of him, causing the earth to suddenly roil.
As stones flew and mud splashed, Ke Bei was summoning a Mud Dragon; although it was weaker than the Eagle Beast Dragon, this Mud Dragon possessed an exceptionally thick body capable of withstanding several full-powered attacks from the Gold-plated Fire Dragon.
After all, they had been ambushed with no opportunity to summon; if not for the Ice Morning White Dragon and the Zhan River Dragon trapping the
Gold-plated Fire Dragon, Ke Bei wouldn’t have dared to open the Summoning Seal carelessly, as summoning required undivided attention and a bit of time.
“Teacher Ke Bei, be careful!” Suddenly, Zhu Minglang shouted at the top of his voice.
Ke Bei was about to complete the summoning, but he felt a chill rising up, as if someone had swung a cold knife behind his neck!
He turned around only to see a sharp claw! !
This claw had no finger bones, resembling a ripper’s scythe, hacking towards him.
Not far off, Zhu Minglang had anticipated this moment, but he had no other dragon pets, if only the Great Alligator Spirit had been there, it might have bought Teacher Ke Bei a little time…
“Swish!!!!!”
The scythe-claw still managed to slash open Ke Bei’s chest, with blood spraying out.
Ke Bei tumbled to the ground, but the Scythe-clawed Ferocious Dragon had no intention of sparing him.
The Scythe-clawed Ferocious Dragon caught up to Ke Bei in a few strides, its other claw viciously piercing into Ke Bei’s abdomen, then, as if to show off its hunting trophy, it lifted Ke Bei high into the air!
The nature of the Scythe-clawed Ferocious Dragon was indeed Luo Xiao’s true nature.
This bloodthirsty creature had been summoned at some point, seemingly lurking nearby, waiting for this chance!
“Run… run…” Ke Bei, hanging from the claw, didn’t die immediately; he stared with blood-filled eyes toward Zhu Minglang’s direction, struggling to utter this word.
“You all must die!” Luo Xiao issued the command again, this time targeting Zhu Minglang.
Luo Xiao was a bloodthirsty lunatic, yet his thoughts were clear.
He knew very well that among the three of them, Ke Bei was the strongest; he was Luo Xiao’s primary target to kill. From the initial ambush from the sky to the chosen moment and order to kill…
Even though the Ice Morning White Dragon threatened Luo Xiao’s life, Luo Xiao had not let the Scythe-clawed Ferocious Dragon appear, all so he could strike the fatal blow to Ke Bei at the crucial moment!
“Yoooo——–”
Bai Qi had already detected the Scythe-clawed Ferocious Dragon, its wings flapping toward Zhu Minglang’s direction, stirring up a crosswind.
The fluff beneath its feathers, turned into Ice Fluff weapons and densely nailed toward the Scythe-clawed Ferocious Dragon with the crosswind.
The Scythe-clawed Ferocious Dragon, far weaker than the Gold-plated Fire Dragon and obviously adept in ambush, found itself outclassed as Bai Qi had clearly reached maturity, matching the strength of some lower-ranked Dragon Generals. Its Ice Nails swept through in a tempest akin to an ice spike storm, sealing off all possible attack paths of the Scythe-clawed Ferocious Dragon on a large scale.
The Scythe-clawed Ferocious Dragon had intended to strike down both Ke Bei and Zhu Minglang but had to abandon the notion of killing Zhu Minglang.
With the barrage of Ice Nails, the Scythe-clawed Ferocious Dragon already wanted to retreat but still got a few nails stuck in its back.
The Scythe-clawed Ferocious Dragon let out several mournful howls and quickly fled into the dense forest, not showing itself again.
It was a pity; had more Ice Nails hit it, they would have frozen the muscle on the back of the Scythe-clawed Ferocious Dragon, causing its run to stiffen.
“Bai Qi, let’s go!” Zhu Minglang glanced at the Gold-plated Fire Dragon struggling to break free from its icy shackles and decisively shouted.
The Ice Morning White Dragon stayed low, gliding in Zhu Minglang’s direction. Zhu Minglang grasped the claw of the Ice Morning White Dragon and was
lifted into the air.
“Teacher Duan Lan, don’t linger in battle!”
Still not recovered from Ke Bei’s tragic death, Teacher Duan Lan only reached out to grab Zhu Minglang’s hand as he and the Ice Morning White Dragon flew past her.
“Gurgle-
The Scythe-clawed Ferocious Dragon wouldn’t let them ascend safely; the carnivorous beast scaled a large tree at breakneck speed, then leaped from the treetop, transforming its forelimbs into bone scythes that slashed with icy flashes through the air, aiming a heavy chop at Zhu Minglang and Duan Lan hanging from the Ice Morning White Dragon below.
The Zhan River Dragon appeared just in time; its tail whipped up from the mountainous forest floor, sending the Scythe-clawed Ferocious Dragon flying away.
With a scream, the Scythe-clawed Ferocious Dragon crashed into a pile of rocks, battered and bloody.
“Teacher Duan Lan, retract the Zhan River Dragon, quick!” Zhu Minglang urged anxiously.
If they went too far, Zhan River Dragon would be left behind on the battlefield; none of them dared to stop now, knowing that once the Gold-plated Fire Dragon broke free, none would survive to leave.
Teacher Duan Lan extended her palm, a Summoning Seal appeared, and a much larger seal materialized around the Zhan River Dragon on the ground, resembling a gigantic Summoning Gate, through which one could pass easily.
Zhan River Dragon immediately flew into the Summoning Seal, entering Teacher Duan Lan’s Spirit Realm just in time before the Ice Morning White Dragon soared high and far away.
“Do you think you can run away??” Luo Xiao laughed loudly.
The Gold-plated Fire Dragon had melted its icy chains with flames, its limbs stiffened from the cold, but with a few bursts of intense Flame, it could rapidly regain its fighting strength.
Rising from the frost, the Gold-plated Fire Dragon was about to spread its wings to pursue when suddenly, an enraged roar filled the air, and a frenzied Mud Dragon slammed into the Gold-plated Fire Dragon!
“Beast, courting death! Luo Xiao roared furiously.
This Mud Dragon was the second Dragon Luo Xiao summoned before his death; with the Eagle Beast Dragon gone and Ke Bei dead, the Mud Dragon could have fled back to the wild, but now it charged with a furious vengeance for its master!
Alas, merely at Dragon Child Level, the Mud Dragon stood no chance against a High-Rank Dragon General and was like a moth to a flame.
Luo Xiao’s rage stemmed from this thick-skinned Mud Dragon delaying his pursuit of Zhu Minglang and Duan Lan!!
