Starting with watering the World Tree for otherworldly survival

Page 304

"It's alright~ What's a little trouble on Dragon Island? Who knows... while we're jumping into the water, the poisoned dragon might get hanged~"

As the bronze dragons spoke, they decided to go downstream from the waterfall to play in the large lake below.

But they were unaware that they were being watched by something.

It was a ferocious gray-white dragon in its prime, about twenty-five meters long.

Its body was covered with sharp, bony spikes, and scales and bony armor. Although not as emaciated as the black dragon, it was not particularly robust among the other massive dragons.

Even these adult bronze dragons are all around sixteen or seventeen meters long. But that's alright, the gray dragon has now entered its prime.

With the added boost to its damage-enhancing abilities, the Grey Dragon can now unleash melee attacks with the lethality of an old dragon.

If they were hit even once, these bronze dragons would die instantly.

With all its might, the gray dragon leaped up like a lithe tiger or leopard, its wings sweeping out to seize the nearest adult bronze dragon.

The sharp, bony claws, gleaming with a chilling, pale light, sliced ​​through the bronze dragon's shoulder and neck, pinning its prey to the ground in its most advantageous position on the water battlefield.

Immediately, the gray dragon opened its mouth and bit down, tearing off the bronze dragon's terrified head in one gulp—

"It's a gray dragon! Split up and run!"

In a one-on-one duel between equals, the bronze dragon with its lightning breath would be absolutely certain of defeating the gray dragon.

Relying on the unavoidable speed of the lightning breath, they can directly create distance for aerial combat or drag the gray dragon into the lake to restrict its movement.

No matter how they fight, the advantage lies with the Bronze Dragons. But now they are facing a mature Gray Dragon, which can unleash even more terrifying destructive power in close combat. With just one strike, it can kill an adult dragon.

In the blink of an eye, the bronze dragon was a headless corpse. Ignoring the dragon core tossed to the bottom of the lake, the gray dragon furiously pounced again, tearing open the chest of another bronze dragon that was about to take flight—

"...Speak! Where is your mistress?"

After draining the life force of an adult bronze dragon, the gray dragon raised its bony whip tail, whipping through the air with a piercing, sharp sound.

It turns out that although the gray dragon fled the battle, it chose this waterfall as its transformation site. It was preparing to evolve into a mature dragon, which is why it managed to help Qin He and the others escape danger.

But the red dragon was killed by the bronze dragons, and Zhong Liuxiu disappeared without a trace. Qin He was taken away by the Dragon Queen, and it's unknown when he will return...

After much deliberation, the gray dragon finally decided to follow its wild instincts.

It will fight these bronze dragons to the death. As long as Qin He is still alive, it has a chance of winning.

Prepare yourselves, storm the castle. Capture the Mistress and rescue the Red Dragon—this is the only way the Gray Dragon can think of to break the deadlock.

Although the Bronze Dragonflight team is growing, the Metal Dragonflight, which leans towards order, is still willing to hand over more Mystic Dragon Coins to the Matriarch for team affairs.

Even the Bronze Dragons, out of morality, would forgo personal gain and even pay their subordinates' salaries. Therefore, the Mistress must possess the Mystic Dragon Coins, capable of resurrecting the Red Dragon and other members.

Storm into the castle and capture the Bronze Dragon Queen. Then use her life as leverage to keep all the Bronze Dragons on the field in check.

If the Bronze Dragon Queen dared to resort to tricks, she could simply kill it and escape alone. Since the Gray Dragon had the audacity to abduct it, how could it not dare to kill the hostage?

And now, these bronze dragons, delivered right to their doorstep, are already within the team.

After they die, they don't immediately restart; instead, they turn into dragon eggs and begin again. As long as the opposing queen dragon doesn't notice the deaths of these members, they will remain in place, waiting to hatch.

As it happened, the Grey Dragon knew. The Bronze Dragon team was currently under attack by a group of Shadow Dragon assassins and didn't have the time to pay attention to the situation outside.

They're waiting for these released elites to quickly reach adulthood and then return to defend the castle.

Taking advantage of the chaos in the castle, the gray dragon will now go and abduct the main dragon, forcing it to revive the red dragon and Zhong Liuxiu and other teammates into adulthood.

At that time, these bronze dragons will be no match for Qin He and the red dragon's wrath.

"The Bronze Dragon's mistress, just wait patiently..."

As it took flight, the gray dragon could sense the battle between the Shadow Dragon Legion and the Bronze Dragons in the distance.

If it takes the opportunity to kill a few strong adult dragons, it might be able to advance to a more powerful old age.

……

Inside the Golden Dragon King's castle, the Shadow Dragons spewed blinding dark clouds as they fought a life-or-death battle against the bronze dragons, who were far more powerful than themselves.

Although these creatures are not physically strong, their negative energy-filled dark cloud breath can still disrupt bronze dragons. Moreover, they are unlike ordinary shadow dragons.

The title of assassin is well-deserved; the Bronze Dragon's arrogant and almost domineering acts of justice have already attracted the attention of many Color Dragon teams.

One of the green dragon tribes paid a price to hire these shadow dragon assassins.

The nature of the contract between the two sides is unknown, but these Shadow Dragon assassins are indeed demonstrating their superior ability to blend into the shadows. Sharp claws and teeth constantly tear open the bronze dragon's flesh in the clash.

With the combined efforts of these shadow dragons, the bronze dragons were unable to gain the upper hand for the time being. Even though this was the bronze dragons' home turf, the shadow dragons fell more and faster—

However, despite the prolonged war of attrition, the number of Shadow Dragons has not decreased.

This is a battle of resources and strength; it depends on whether the Bronze Dragon team runs out of Secret Dragon Coins first, or the Shadow Dragon Legion abandons this bounty mission.

"Damn it... Roar! The Fallen Primal Dragon!"

The Shadow Dragons are the only group among the original dragon species capable of participating in the Mysterious Dragon Island. They have the support of the Night Dragon Court and Farazur, making them no less powerful than those higher-ranking dragon species.

Not to mention... the one currently confronting the Bronze Dragon leader is a Night Dragon in its prime!

If we were to make a comparison, the difference between the Night Dragon and the Shadow Dragon is even greater than the difference between the Ancestor Dragon and the Original Species.

The amplification of the primordial bloodline gave the Night Dragon a dragon body similar to that of Fara-Zul.

That eerie, dark purple aura was proof that it was filled with dark corrosive energy.

“My employer paid this amount. If you pay double, I might not be able to let you off the hook.”

After making a number with its shadow-covered claws, the Night Dragon added several zeros to the end using sign language that only true dragons could understand.

"You're asking for it, Night Dragon!"

Knowing that the other party was making an exorbitant demand, the burly bronze dragon leader charged madly at the night dragon. His lightning breath surged forth, and in the blink of an eye, thunder roared and raged.

The lightning pierced through the shadows and tore through the air, but it only managed to shatter a layer of residual image that remained in place.

"Useless trash, I'll tell you then. You've messed with someone extraordinary. You and your team's bronze dragons are finished for life!"

The Night Dragon swung its tail at the mighty horns of the mature bronze dragon, and the dragon's strongest horns broke off with a cracking sound!

"Look at your position as the mistress, you piece of trash. Even if I don't kill you today, thousands upon thousands of dragons will tear your heads off for her."

Having said that, the Night Dragon soared into the sky like an Eastern imperial dragon, disappearing into the clouds.

Not only that, the Shadow Dragon assassins who were fighting the Bronze Dragons also disappeared on the spot.

"The mistress...the mistress?!"

The mysterious venom that previously killed the young bronze dragon, plus the now inexplicably appearing night dragon.

Although it was unclear why they had become the target of everyone's attacks, the bronze dragon leader knew that without the mother dragon, their team would be doomed.

"Get back, all of you! If anyone dares to move again, I'll kill your son of a bitch's mistress!"

A hoarse dragon roar pulled the bronze dragon chieftain back to reality. Upon seeing the scene, the bronze dragon chieftain's heart sank—

The Bronze Dragon Queen, who possessed the strength of a mature dragon and had golden horns on her head, was strangled by a mature gray dragon.

It is clear that both the main dragon and the gray dragon have injuries.

The gray dragon, which had taken advantage of the chaos to raid the camp, had already been blasted through its body by the lightning breath of the other strong bronze dragons, leaving it bleeding. However, the bronze dragon queen, whom it had kidnapped, had her wings twisted and broken.

Its two hind legs, paralyzed by the gray dragon's crushing blows to its spine, left it kneeling helplessly on the ground. At the end of the trail it had dragged the Bronze Dragon Queen, lay two more strong, dead, lying on the ground!

It can be said that the Grey Dragon risked his life to successfully break through the Bronze Dragon's last line of defense against the Mistress.

"Stop! Gray Dragon, if you dare to touch our mistress, you still won't be able to leave this Golden Dragon King Castle today!"

Just as the bronze dragon leader was about to make a threat, the gray dragon tore off the wing of the matriarch from the middle of its claws!

"Fool, you think I wouldn't dare? I'll make your lowly mistress do as I say! Otherwise, you're welcome to try! I'll kill it first... and then you'll be next! Dare to play with me?"

The bronze dragons cautiously surrounded the gray dragon, forming an encirclement. But this couldn't escape the gray dragon's notice—

Immediately afterwards, the Bronze Dragon Queen's other wing was also torn off!

Despite facing a life-or-death crisis, the Queen Dragon still refused to submit to the Gray Dragon. The Bronze Dragon leader, however, said:

"Tell me! As long as it's within our power, do you want Dragon Coins, or do you want to revive any dragon?"

"—Quickly, do as it says!"

The bronze dragon leader then commanded the mistress to temporarily obey the gray dragon's orders.

"Good! That's great... I'll kill you first! Damn bronze dragon, your and your tribe's defenses are like a kobold's tribe, letting the dragon come and go as it pleases!"

Even though the gray dragon was already somewhat exhausted from the fierce battle just now, it was too late to show weakness now and let the enemy see through its flaws. That would be the end for it, the red dragon, and Qin He.

Little did Gray Dragon know that his teammate, whom he was so determined to save, had already gathered reinforcements and was marching towards the Golden Dragon King's castle.

……

"Azure Empyrea... Sanchez. I have a very bad feeling! Quick, stop preparing. Let's attack the Bronze Dragon now!"

The blue dragons were adjusting their strategy, preparing to annihilate the bronze dragon tribe head-on, but Qin He suddenly felt inexplicably uneasy.

Trusting his instincts, Qin He immediately decided to attack.

"But……"

It was clear that Sanchez's expression had changed. But Qin He immediately met his gaze:

"I said, fight now! I'll compensate you with double the Dragon Crystals for all your losses and expenses afterwards. Now! Quickly!"

……

"If I don't kill you today, plenty of dragons will come to kill you, you worthless bastard, in the future! Come, Red Dragon Blazing Feather... Black Dragon Harp Crane, Flowing Sleeves... Purple Dragon... Iron Dragon..."

"Summon them all and let them grow into adulthood before my very eyes!"

After announcing their names one by one, the Grey Dragon felt confident. He believed that once his teammates arrived, wiping out the Bronze Dragonflight tribe would be no problem.

"No...too much! You—"

The Matron Dragon's concerns were simple: a single gray dragon was enough to annihilate it instantly. Even after killing the Matron Dragon, the gray dragon would still have the strength to take one or two strong bronze dragons down with it.

If they truly listen to the Gray Dragon and it brings allies of the Red Dragon, Purple Dragon, and Iron Dragon caliber, then the Bronze Dragon team will have no hope of rescuing the Mistress.

With six strong, healthy dragons gathered together, they could easily wipe out the severely weakened bronze dragon.

"Not doing it? Not doing it means death!!!"

The gray dragon trampled the bronze dragon under its claws, the ghastly white bone claws bearing shocking cracks and bloodstains.

"Pfft—crack—!"

Breaking the ribs of the Bronze Dragon Queen and destroying her heart would be an absolutely fatal blow to any dragon.

"Just tell me, are you going to do it or not?! If you don't—you die right now! I'll send your chieftain and your clansmen to their deaths with you!"

The matriarch eventually gave in and used resurrection magic to locate Qin He...

"The Black Dragon, Purple Dragon, and Iron Dragon are all alive, and the Red Dragon... is alive, and in its prime."

What? The red dragon has regained its strength from its prime? Could it be that another queen dragon resurrected it...? The gray dragon was immediately overjoyed.

"Send them all over here. Use Dragon Coins to level them up to adulthood. Otherwise—"

"You'll die!"

Despite her gritted teeth, at the most crucial moment, the Bronze Dragon Mistress made a life-or-death decision.

It did indeed use a resurrection spell to summon from a distance. However, the target of the summon was not Qin He, but all the robust adult bronze dragons right before its eyes!

The mature bronze dragons were teleported in front of him, and the gray dragon roared angrily, cursing that things were going badly.

"Chief! Help—"

"Save me? You dare to play dirty tricks on me? Even if the Platinum Dragon King came today, he couldn't save you!"

The gray dragon acted decisively, using its folded wings to temporarily block the bronze dragon's thunderous breath and sharp claws. Then, its gaping maw viciously cleaved the bronze dragon queen's neck!

—The Mother Dragon made a mistake in this move; the Gray Dragon was indeed determined to perish together with her!

Dragging along a fully grown bronze dragon, the gray dragon, relying on energy absorption, barely managed to hold on amidst the bronze dragons' storm of attacks, striving for that sliver of survival.

At the same time, its tail, covered in bone spikes, is also displaying the gray dragon's most hidden and unknown talent—

—Blocking. The Grey Dragon can observe and control its opponent's center of gravity during battle, using its claws and tail to deflect and trip them.

Even at this distance, the gray dragon could only slightly disrupt the bronze dragons' balance. But breaking through was enough; the gray dragon, despite suffering severe injuries—pierced wing membranes and a scorched body—pounced again.

"Hahaha... At least in the end, I'll kill one more unlucky bastard of yours, the Bronze Dragon! Together with them, we'll have made enough to cover the losses from those Amethyst Dragons!"
