Chapter 193: Chapter 193, The Dominance of the Thunder Dragon_1
"Be careful. This time we’re up against the Black Dragon, a formidable being among the Dragon Race. Its Dark Magic can annihilate enemies, burning any substance."
"Don’t worry. We’ve been waiting for three days, just for the Black Dragon to go out."
"Once it goes out to hunt, we’ll have our chance to get the Dragon Egg."
"The Black Dragon is hot-tempered and likely to kill us."
"Nonsense. We’ve come to steal its child. What would you do if someone tried to steal your child?"
"I don’t have children."
The other person was stunned into silence.
Just then, they heard a roar from the cave; it was unmistakably the Black Dragon’s. Then they saw a figure flying down from halfway up the mountain.
The dozen or so people were stunned.
What’s going on? Could someone have beaten us to it? Have they already stolen the Black Dragon’s egg? How did this guy manage it?
But that wasn’t even the scariest part; the scariest part was that this flying human was heading in their direction.
What is he doing?
At that moment, a massive figure appeared at the cave entrance. It also noticed Jiang Chen’s frail figure and, roaring angrily, chased in Jiang Chen’s direction.
Jiang Chen chuckled. "Gentlemen, I’ve got the Dragon Egg."
The group was dumbfounded. Buddy, what are you implying? What does you getting the Dragon Egg have to do with us?
Then they saw the Black Dragon catching up.
Now they finally understood: this guy wanted them to take the blame.
"Don’t come over here!"
"What are you trying to do!"
"Damn it, he wants us to take the fall! The Black Dragon is behind him!"
"Run!"
The dozen or so people just wanted to curse violently.
Goddamn it, this guy is so despicable and shameless, trying to use this method to escape the Black Dragon’s pursuit!
Jiang Chen shouted, "Buddies, don’t go! Wait for me!"
Jiang Chen followed closely behind them. The Black Dragon, seemingly sensing Jiang Chen and his group, spewed out a torrent of black fire, terrifying them so much they trembled uncontrollably.
Meanwhile, Jiang Chen had already used Flash in the Void and vanished from sight.
Jiang Chen walked deeper into the forest.
Hearing the screams, he shook his head. The Black Dragon’s temper really is too violent. As the saying goes, ’Teammates are sacrifices to the sky, magical powers boundless.’ I truly feel sorry for them.
Jiang Chen looked at the map and continued on his way.
Jiang Qiu and her companions belonged to the Dark Series Class. Since the Black Dragon was also a dark-element dragon, it was a perfect match for them. Jiang Chen then looked at another mark on the map.
A Thunderous Dragon. That should be good too, at least much better than the five main Attributes. Thunderous Dragons are fast fliers, stronger than Wind Dragons. Not only that, but they can also use Thunder Magic.
Jiang Chen quickly made his way there.
Dragons’ Den was typically located halfway up a mountain, where a great peak was hollowed out. Giant Dragons favored these dwellings not only to avoid disasters but also to evade human pursuit.
Jiang Chen looked up at the sky, where thunder and lightning were gathering.
Looking at the massive Dragon Cave, he spread his wings again and, without a word, flew straight for the cave.
Two slumbering Giant Dragons seemed to sense the human’s approach, and they both raised their heads. One Male Dragon said, "I’ll go outside and take a look. Seems like a Thief is here."
"These detestable humans, always trying to steal our Dragon Eggs to make them their Covenant Beasts! I will never allow my children to become their mounts."
The Male Dragon flapped its wings and flew to the cave entrance. Standing in the doorway, it looked at the small approaching figure.
At that moment, Jiang Chen also saw the Thunder Dragon before him.
The massive body blocked Jiang Chen’s path. The Dragon’s body flickered with lightning, like an invisible wall, preventing him from entering.
Feeling the dense thunder and lightning, Jiang Chen stopped in his tracks.
"Human, leave my territory immediately, or die!"
"Could we perhaps strike a bargain?"
ROAR!
Jiang Chen’s only response was a ruthless streak of lightning.
WHOOSH!
With a Flash in the Void, Jiang Chen swiftly appeared outside the cave. Damn, that Giant Dragon’s magic is incredibly fast! Lucky my reflexes were sharp, or I would have been struck down by that thunderbolt.
Just as Jiang Chen was inwardly rejoicing, the Giant Dragon appeared at the cave entrance. Eyeing Jiang Chen’s flying figure, it rapidly pursued him, its body emitting immense Power of Thunderbolt.
The speed was so great that it caught up to Jiang Chen in an instant.
Jiang Chen was utterly horrified.
Damn it, this dragon’s speed is way too fast!
In mid-air, sensing danger, Jiang Chen used his Perception to swiftly dodge the Thunder Dragon’s attacks. Although the Thunder Dragon was fast and its attacks powerful, Jiang Chen could sense when it was casting magic.
This gave Jiang Chen enough time to evade.
Jiang Chen had wings, but his speed still couldn’t match the Giant Dragon’s.
Two figures were seen rapidly chasing each other in the sky.
In the air, Jiang Chen darted left and right, swiftly dodging the Thunder Dragon’s assault. Battling the Giant Dragon in mid-air, Jiang Chen was at a complete disadvantage.
He turned and unleashed One Sword.
"Sword Qi Break!"
ZZZT!
Powerful thunder and lightning erupted from the Thunder Dragon’s body, forming what seemed like a protective wall that enveloped its entire body. The Sword Qi vanished upon nearing the Thunder Dragon, obliterated by the Power of Thunderbolt.
His first attack was rendered ineffective.
Jiang Chen didn’t dare linger. He beat a hasty retreat, quickly descending toward the ground.
On the ground, Jiang Chen promptly dodged.
After a few uses of Flash in the Void, he disappeared from the Giant Dragon’s sight.
The Thunder Dragon looked around.
Where did he go? This human is truly cunning, vanishing in the blink of an eye.
The Thunder Dragon hurried back.
Jiang Chen hid in a dark corner, deep in thought.
Damn it. This Giant Dragon is on par with a Third-stage Class Expert. Especially that Power of Thunderbolt, covering its whole body; not even Sword Qi can penetrate it. What should I do? With such a fast and powerful Giant Dragon, it seems invincible. There’s no advantage in fighting it in the sky.
Jiang Chen recalled his battles with Dragon Knights, realizing that the Giant Dragons they trained were nothing like the Giant Dragons from the Giant Dragon World.
It’s like comparing heaven and earth. Whether in size, Offensive Power, or defense, there’s a significant difference. If the Giant Dragons raised by Dragon Knights are dogs, then the Giant Dragons from the Giant Dragon World are beasts like lions or tigers. Their combat power isn’t on the same level.
The Giant Dragon returned to the cave.
"How did it go? Did that human Thief leave?"
"He should have left. That human is strong. My Thunder Magic hit him, and he seemed fine; his Resistance is high. However, he’s no match for me. I am much faster than him in the air."
"Damn humans, always trying to steal our children."
...
Jiang Chen pondered through meditation but couldn’t devise a good plan. Am I really going to give up?
Just then, a massive python caught Jiang Chen’s attention.
This python seemed to be heading in the direction of the Giant Dragon. Observing the python, Jiang Chen noted its thick body, at least several tens of meters long. And that wasn’t all—the python had three heads, each as terrifying as a hellhound.
This is Hell’s Three-headed Python, a creature serving the Evil God.
Jiang Chen smiled. It seemed an opportunity had arrived.
