Earth's Best Gamer - Chapter 278
Chapter 278: Destruction and Harvest
Splash!
While he took out the brush, Ji Ye’s Dragon Aura had already leaked from his feet into the black rocks around, making them gleam from the inside.
The black-and-red substances near the settlement core of the Tyrant Lizards must be some sort of Extraordinary minerals that were hard for the Dragon Aura to infiltrate.
However, under the boost of Ji Ye’s mental power that had reached Extraordinary Rank-7, the glowing Dragon Aura moved towards the settlement core at the center of the stronghold unstoppably.
Of course, it didn’t attack the settlement core directly, because the red power of providence from the settlement core could block all the attacks until the Tyrant Lizards outside were all dead!
Hum!
Therefore, the glow simply moved around the settlement core in a circle.
Following that, as Ji Ye pointed the Eye Painting Brush which had absorbed a lot of Flood Dragon Blood on the black-and-red fortress, the enormous noise in the next second almost drew the attention of everybody on the battlefield.
“Roar!”
The black-and-red rocks at the settlement core, while trembling violently, turned into a black Flood Dragon that was more than twenty meters long with metal colors and chiseled scales and horns.
Then, the body of the dragon, which was full of power, surrounded and tied up the Tyrant Lizards’ settlement core.
Clang, clang…
Four black claws that were more than one meter long slapped the shield of power of providence on the settlement core, raising red ripples.
Tied up by the black Flood Dragon, a red dragon of power of providence appeared with anger on its face!
Boom, boom, boom!
The dozen old and weak lizards who were protected inside the shield looked at the dimming and shaking shield with fright on their faces. They shouted in panic.
“Hiss! Hiss!”
Such noises finally attracted the attention of the remaining lizard warriors on the battlefield. With anxiety beaming out of their eyes, they tried to rescue their settlement core!
However, how could the combatants of the Twin Dragon Mount let them go?
Hum! Hum! Hum!
Qin Yueyu loosened her bowstring and shot out several sharp arrows that were enshrouded in black air, blocking a few lizard warriors that attempted to return.
It was a skill that she purchased for five thousand Civilization Coins on the Battlefield of Providence!
Now that she had gained Lesser Mastery, she was able to shoot five high-precision arrows at one time.
Those black arrows were all made through the Infinite Quiver with the spoils of war that the Ghostship crew dropped, attached with impressive explosive soul damage!
However, as a settlement that had hundreds of members, it definitely had Commander-level lizards although its Boss had been killed by the Ghostship.
“Hiss, hiss!”
An old lizard in a ragged robe was quickly casting spells under the protection of a tall and strong Tyrant Lizard.
The warriors who had activated the dragon bloodline among the green-blood lizards were called Tyrant Lizards. Their scales were resistant to magic, high temperature, etc.
However, Lizard Mages were even rarer than them, because it was hard for the lizards to grasp magic skills which had a high demand!
Hum!
A creature that was exclusively made of flames and almost ten feet tall appeared before the old Lizard Mage while emitting high temperature.
Then, it moved its burning hooves, leaving a trail of white flames on the ground, as it accelerated and charged at the black Flood Dragon that had tied up the settlement core!
Boom!
However, the moment before it hit the black Flood Dragon, a big mallet that glowed in yellow on the surface smashed the white fiery dragon from one side.
In the next moment, the white fiery dragon simply exploded in midair.
Pew!
The old Lizard Mage’s face became blue and purple, and it vomited green blood.
As the only Mage in its settlement, it had already been exhausted after fighting for such a long time.
Such magic that must be controlled required a mental link like the flying swords. Now that the white fiery dragon was destroyed by the Yellow Mallet unexpectedly, the Lizard Mage had taken a grave recoil.
Boom!
At this moment, the black Flood Dragon that tied up the settlement core already dimmed to the minimum.
“Roar!”
After a regretful roar from the lizard-like red dragon, the power of providence inside the Tyrant Lizards’ settlement completely dispersed!
Pew! Pew! Pew!
After that, the dozen old and weak lizards inside were squeezed into a pulp of green meat by the black Flood Dragon.
“Hiss, hiss…”
Seeing that, the old Lizard Mage, with sorrow and desperation in its eyes, suddenly cut its palm and injected all its remaining magic power along with its blood to the bottom of its feet.
Hum!
After that, a stream of green light spread out on the battlefield in a trajectory that was similar to a magic array.
“Not good!”
“Fall back!”
“Look out, Master!”
The battle participants from the Twin Dragon Island, who had almost cleared the battlefield, became wary and were ready to retreat.
It was obvious that the old Lizard Mage had set up a magic array in advance. It was probably meant to die together with the enemy when they were doomed, like the Mirage Monsters and the Metal Men’s arrangements!
Pew!
However, before they retreated, the green magic formation had suddenly collapsed.
It was because the green light was suddenly broken when it approached Ji Ye.
That was because Ji Ye had infiltrated the black rocks with the Dragon Aura earlier, and the Dragon Aura was so unstoppable that it had erased the magic circuits that were hidden under the floor. So, the mutual-destruction magic array couldn’t be completed at all!
“Hiss! Hiss!”
The old Lizard Mage took a rather ragged slate out of its pocket and aimed it at Ji Ye. With green blood gushing out of its mouth, it tried to keep chanting, as if it still wanted to turn things around!
“Roar!”
Unfortunately, it didn’t have a chance.
The black Flood Dragon that destroyed the Tyrant Lizards’ settlement core didn’t disperse but approached the Lizard Mage from the back and bit off its head, letting the ragged plate in its hand fall to the ground.
The destruction of the Tyrant Lizards’ settlement marked the end of the battle.
The Snake Monkeys, who were larger in number, seemed to know better about human beings and focused all their attacks on the vitals such as head, heart, and throat.
However, Li Yuanba had slain a hundred of them on his own. Faced with such an absolute strength gap, there was little they could do even though they knew where the human beings were vulnerable!
Pew!
After the last fleeing Snake Monkey was shot in the head by Yan Qing from a hundred meters away in the sky with a Radiant Gold Arrow, the battle came to a full stop.
Of all the battle participants, only Mister Bug suffered some minor wounds. The others were all unscathed!
After the victory, it was time to check the spoils of war.
The first item that Ji Ye picked up was the ragged slate that the Lizard Mage dropped to the ground.
[Incomplete Magic Slate]
[Level: Special]
[Rarity: Superior (Rare)]
[Description: This partly-ruined magic slate came from a Transcendent being among the elves of the High Tower who are adept at magic. Some of the spells on the slate can be triggered by magic power or crystals. Only the elves can fully master its mysteries!]
“Elves?”
Ji Ye was not at all surprised at the “familiar” species. After all, in a world where extraordinary creatures such as dragons existed, elves shouldn’t be rare.
Because he pursued martial arts and cultivation, Ji Ye wasn’t really interested in magic.
However, judging from what the old Lizard Mage did before death, the power inside the ragged slate should be highly valuable.
As a matter of fact, that was evident from its “Superior Rare” rating. Of all the special items that Ji Ye had received, only the Void Ring had such a rating.
As for the restraint that only the elves could fully master its mysteries, it was totally negligible to him.
Apart from the item that contained Transcendent power, the black Flood Dragon killed a dozen old and weak Tyrant Lizards in a rather unmerciful way after destroying the defenses of the settlement core!
Among the spoils of war, there was a “skill” as what happened to the Soul race and the Mirage Monsters.
[Dragon-Urine Wine Brewing Technique (Extraordinary Part)]
[Level: Extraordinary]
[Rarity: Perfect (Rare)]
[Description: This is a secret wine-making recipe that the Tyrant Lizards are in possession of. Its name may be hard to accept, but it can strengthen and purify the bloodlines of most Extraordinary creatures!]
[Note: It’s said that the high-level Dragon-Urine Wine can even purify Transcendent and Legendary bloodlines!]
A wine that could increase the bloodline intensity?
It was hard to improve one’s bloodline on the Land of Inheritance, especially when the bloodline’s level was too high.
Take Ji Ye for example. Although he successfully obtained the Flood Dragon Bloodline with his talent, the Flood Dragon Blood was Legendary and beyond his control, and only a limited amount of Flood Dragon Blood could be generated every day. Technically speaking, he didn’t fully carry out the power of the bloodline at all!
If the Dragon-Urine Wine could really purify the Flood Dragon Bloodline, he could always rename it after it was made.
The only problem was that same as the Bloodsoul Essence-breeding Method, the technique was an incomplete one, and it remained unknown whether or not high-level Dragon-Urine Wine could be made!
