Only the truly powerful are capable of witnessing the true form of the Heavenly Comet. In legends, the Heavenly Comet often appears as a red comet, a harbinger of disaster and destruction.
Tianhuilong, who is in the mid-stage of the Ascension God realm, has come to deliver something important to Qin He on behalf of the Ancient Dragon King's Court, where the Ancestral Dragon resides.
Aside from official duties, she was also acquainted with several divine blue dragons from the tribe to which Sang Shen belonged. The blue dragon tribe had specifically marked out locations with dragon veins in the Great Wilderness Dragon Plains to replenish the energy of the Heavenly Comet Dragon.
Occupying a region in the Great Wilderness Dragon Plains where the dragon veins are quite active, the dragon energy within the dragon veins is just right for the Sky Comet Dragon to maintain its abilities.
The Blue Dragon tribe has even set aside a special area for their ancient dragon friend, a region dedicated to raising aquatic creatures—the kind of food that Sky Comets love.
Flying to the location of the dragon vein in the Great Wilderness Dragon Plains, the Sky Comet Dragon planned to rest and recuperate. As a member of the Ancient Dragon Royal Court, this beautiful Sky Comet Dragon enjoyed many special privileges.
……
Back on Yanliu's side, two young dragons were attempting to capture the rare and precious bird, Little Blue Song, to trade with the caravan. Yanliu adjusted her projectile from among the bushes, set up her net, and prepared to capture her prey.
The young dragons' attempt to capture Little Blue Song was not very successful. Although the young dragons were fast enough to catch their fleeing target, they were ruthless in their treatment of their prey.
The little bluebirds that the baby dragons caught either had their bodies crushed and broken, or their necks were broken by the baby dragons during the capture process.
Some unfortunate little birds died from the shock of being frightened by the dragon's cubs.
In the end, the young dragons had a good haul. But almost none of their prey were unharmed, so in order not to disturb or injure these fragile birds, Flame Ryu chose to hunt them together with Chiden.
Using the net, the young dragon, who was completely concealing its presence, quickly seized the opportunity to capture it. As the net ensnared the somewhat panicked little bluebird and pulled it back, Yanliu immediately jumped for joy:
"Qin He~ Did you see that? I did it! I caught this little blue bird."
Qin He was also pleased with Yan Liu's growth over the past few days. But a strange shadow soon loomed over the two young dragon girls.
"Roar--!!!"
This forest was designated as a hunting ground by the Blue Dragon tribe for young dragons to practice on, and it only contains monsters of around level four at most.
But now, a powerful beast dragon has appeared, one that ordinary young dragons would find difficult to deal with.
An eight-meter-long, three-meter-tall Anjanathus was still quite a distance from its adult form.
An adult Anjanathus was about twice the size of this one.
Its strength is roughly at the lower level of the fifth tier.
Currently, both Flame Glaze and Blazing Lightning are only at the mid-tier of the second tier. Even if they join forces, killing this Anjanath will still not be easy.
Realizing that speaking up now would only endanger the young dragon hiding in the bushes, Qin He trusted that Chidian and Yanliu could make their own judgment.
The Blue Dragon tribe has a Dragon Mother, and even if the two of them are accidentally killed by the Anjanath, they will be completely resurrected.
Logically speaking, this Tier 5 low-rank Anjanath shouldn't have appeared in the baby dragon hunting grounds.
Blue dragons patrol this entire forest, and powerful monsters dare not approach. Otherwise, they'll be surrounded and hunted by the blue dragons—how on earth did this Anjanath dare to venture into the young dragon hunting grounds?
In this situation, the most sensible course of action is to remain silent and evade the Anjanath's detection. Then, find the blue dragon tribe's dragons and have them kill the Anjanath.
However, Chidian and Yanliu were not as composed as Qin He. They had never fought against prey of level four or higher in the hunting grounds, and today was their chance.
After reaching the mid-tier of the second tier, Chidian is now a hybrid young dragon with a body length exceeding five meters. Such a massive size is rare among young dragons; perhaps this is a gift from Bayelu.
During these days, Yan Liu absorbed the energy Qin He poured into her, and with the active awakening of her bloodline, the ancestral red dragon blood also benefited her greatly.
They were 4.9 meters long, very close to the size of a cyperusal dragon. They were both at the end of their young dragon age, both fifteen years old.
When they turn sixteen, they will officially become juvenile dragons among the dragons. At that time, they will possess a dragon body that can directly rival this Anjanath.
"Yanliu, I'll go tear open that lowly beast dragon's head in a bit, and you can use your dragon breath to char it. Except for its fore and hind limbs, the Anjanath's skin is soft, so we can tear it open."
"Remember, don't take off. The mucus inside Anjanath's body is flammable and can emit fire breath. Besides, we're still young dragons, and we might get bitten by a leaping Anjanath halfway through the flight."
As expected of the young dragon adopted by the colorful princess, Fiery Lightning immediately thought of how to hunt down its powerful prey upon seeing it.
Although Flame and Lightning used spells to conceal their forms and scents so as not to disturb Little Blue Song, the Anjanath raised its flared nostrils and sails, clearly indicating that it had smelled something.
The two young dragons knew that running away was not as good as directly and openly fighting the Anjanath. Even if they were no match for it, they could still attract the blue dragons of the tribe to deal with the Anjanath.
Since the two of them had decided to give it a try, Qin He saw no need to dissuade them.
With their physical strength, combined with dragon breath and some magic, they might not be without a chance to fight this Anjanath.
Dispelling the magic that concealed itself, Blazing Lightning was the first to tumble and burst out of the bushes.
The alert Anjanath sensed the threat and opened its blood-red maw, ready to devour the young dragon that had transformed into a human!
But the reaction of the incandescent electricity was equally swift, and it immediately transformed back into its original form.
Its unique red and blue coloration, along with its much stronger body than other young dragons of the same age, gave Radiant a chance to avoid Anjanath's first bite.
The five-meter-long dragon body pressed down directly, and even a low-level fifth-tier Anjanath could not break free from the pressure of the blazing electricity on its giant skull.
Knowing that the crown-like structure on the tip of the Anjanathus's nose was its everted nasal cavity, Chidian disdained to open its mouth directly to bite.
Covering his claws with the blue dragon's lightning, the blazing electricity was about to tear those vulnerable parts off!
Yanliu also flashed behind the Anjanath. Its nasal crown was torn apart by the baby dragon's sharp claws. The roaring Anjanath then started running wildly, trying to smash the electric lightning bolt into a boulder next to it.
If successful, the Anjanath would be able to escape the fiery electric attack. This would severely injure the young dragon and also prevent it from damaging its own nasal crest.
Next, the fiery electric dragon, knocked down onto the boulder, was completely at the mercy of the Anjanath. As long as it held the young dragon in its jaws, the Anjanath was confident it could shatter its mid-tier second-level body—
The ideal was wonderful, but the Anjanath, which was just about to start running, was hit by a huge fireball in its legs, abdomen and tail. The powerful explosion caused the Anjanath to lose its balance.
It was Yanliu who, after being trained in the hunting grounds, had fully awakened her ancestral blood. The current Yanliu was no longer the same as the little female dragon cub who couldn't even scare a mouse or catch a rabbit back then.
The breath condensed and gathered power, unleashing a massive fire explosion that far surpassed the destructive force of a mid-tier second-level monster. Sensing danger and pain, the Anjanath immediately kicked backward.
The beast dragon's powerful hind limbs, supporting its entire body, possessed formidable force when kicking. But Blazing Lightning seized the opportunity to attack again.
Its foreclaws tore at the Anjanath's fragile nasal crest, while its two hind claws, using the momentum, stomped down hard on its neck. With a series of cracking sounds, the Anjanath immediately let out a shrill, distorted roar!
With a powerful blow to its prey's neck, Blaze, like a master gladiator, twisted the much stronger bull around its neck, forcefully flipping the Anjanath to the ground.
In its desperation, the Anjanath spewed out fiery breath, generated from the slime within its body, attempting to repel the incandescent electricity through the explosive bursts caused by its breath.
Taking advantage of the Anjanath lying on the ground, its head restrained by the electric current, Flame also revealed its sharp claws, attempting to slash open the flesh on the Anjanath's side.
It's clear that Yanliu has made considerable progress in the past few days of hunting and training with Chidian. While the Anjanath's belly is a weak point, its powerfully kicking hind legs are quite dangerous.
As a second-best option, they could use their combined weight to suppress the Anjanath, making it difficult for it to get up for a short time. Flame Ryu was now like a skilled and experienced hunter—
Having inherited the memories of dragons, even the most pampered young dragons can quickly get used to fighting.
Sharp claws quickly tore through the flesh on the Anjanath's side. Grabbing at the pair of sail-like membranes that spread out on its back like wings, Flame Ryu ruthlessly began to destroy its prey's vital organs—
As the diaphragm that regulates body temperature was torn apart by Flame Ryu's scorching, sharp teeth belonging to a red dragon, the Anjanath roared even more fiercely.
Although it can absorb natural energy to heal its torn sails, the destruction of vital heat dissipation organs during battle is extremely detrimental to Anjanath's body temperature.
With all its might, the Anjanath used the strength of its head and neck to pull the electric rod up. Although it didn't manage to bite the pesky young, it finally escaped the danger of having its nasal crown completely destroyed.
Violent lightning and flames alternately invaded the Anjanath's respiratory system through its everted nasal cavity. That feeling was anything but pleasant.
Qin He noticed that during the Anjanath's attempt to throw it off, Chidian struggled several times, and this time, when it was thrown off, a large section of its nasal crown was torn off.
It appears that the fiery electric dinosaur directly tore off the Anjanath's nasal crown with its claws, and then grabbed it tightly just before it was thrown away, causing the Anjanath to stop moving in pain.
Chidian truly lives up to its reputation as the most outstanding young dragon in the group; it is indeed extraordinary.
If the Brass Dragon tribe does not have a young dragon capable of competing with Blazing Lightning and Flame Glaze, the Color Dragon will basically win this competition.
The fiery lightning bolt, having been flung away, carelessly tossed aside the blood-stained tissue in its hand and, together with Flame Glaze, pressed down on the Anjanath's side. Time was running out, and the two young dragons tore further through the flesh on the Anjanath's side.
With a tail whip, a thud, and a series of struggles, the Anjanath, its body covered in wounds, broke free from the full-force suppression of the two young dragons.
Looking at Chidian and Yanliu, apart from the burns they sustained from the Anjanath's panicked breath, Chidian was basically unharmed.
Yanliu, who was in charge of restraining Yanliu, was in better condition.
Opening its gaping maw once more, the Anjanath had half of its sail membrane and most of its nasal crown torn apart. Those nasal crowns were the everted parts of its nasal cavity, and the excruciating pain and the stench of blood filling its nose only fueled its ferocity.
Driven by the fiery lightning attacking it, the Anjanath regrouped and continued its charge.
This time it retracted its damaged nasal crown. If the Fiery Thunderbolt were to use the same trick again and pounce on it, it would be knocked back by the Anjanath with all its might.
The reason why the fiery lightning was able to knock it to the ground was because the breath attack of the Flame Blaze caused the Anjanath to lose its balance for a moment.
In a head-on confrontation, these two young dragons would be no match for the Anjanath.
With its mouth wide open, the charging Anjanath, even though not an adult, makes a sound like a heavy armored vehicle as it stomps the ground, causing it to tremble and shake.
Facing the imminent confrontation, the Fiery Lightning stood unmoved in place. Spreading its wings and stretching its body to make itself appear larger, it seemed to be intimidating the Anjanath before it.
His entire body crackled with dazzling lightning, and Blazing Lightning channeled all his magical energy. It seemed he was about to engage the Anjanath in a direct confrontation?
This seemingly reckless act was actually a cover for Yan Liu's planned countermeasures.
"Good tactic. Knowing that the Anjanath's throat stores flammable slime waiting to be expelled, let Flamebe ignite it with compressed breath, setting all the slime ablaze in the Anjanath's throat—"
Qin He quickly figured it out, and sure enough, it was true.
Suddenly, Flamebe pounced on Crimson Lightning's back, spitting out a swift beam of fire. It aimed directly at the Anjanath's gaping maw!
Anjanath never expected that Blazing Lightning was actually creating an opportunity for Flame to attack.
It didn't even have time to close or deflect its massive maw before swallowing Flame Glaze's compressed, heat-wire-like flame breath head-on.
The charging attack was immediately halted. The Anjanath roared in pain, flames belonging to the red dragon gushing from its mouth and nose—its heat had clearly exceeded the young Anjanath's tolerance limit.
"A mid-tier second-level being able to handle a fifth-tier Anjanath, Flame Ryu has become quite formidable~"
Zhong Liuxiu praised the two young dragons from the side, but Qin He could see that using breath to ignite the mucus in the Savage Jaw Dragon's throat was only the first step.
Because it reacted too slowly, the Anjanath's throat cavity was severely damaged by the dragon's breath, its own flammable mucus, and fire-attribute natural energy.
"Indeed quite good, but what Chidian needs to do now is crucial. The key to defeating the enemy with a single blow—"
Her body crackled with lightning, not only to attract the attention of the Anjanath, but also because she herself was waiting for this opportunity.
The Anjanath roared to the sky, its wounded throat and nostrils filled with explosive flames. The moment its neck was exposed was the opportune moment for Blaze to strike.
With a swoop of its wings, the Anjanath was immediately bitten in the neck by the lightning bolt. Knowing that its flames were not very effective against the Anjanath's hide, the lightning bolt unleashed all the lightning magic energy it had accumulated.
"You inferior beast dragon! You are not worthy to appear before us. Die!"
The lightning-infused teeth quickly tore through the flesh of the Anjanath.
The young dragon's bite force might not be strong enough, but the purpose of the Fiery Lightning was to electrocute the Anjanath into submission! As the Fiery Lightning exhausted all its lightning magic power, the Anjanath visibly weakened—
As the lightning struck the ground, the Anjanath was completely rendered powerless to resist.
"Okay, that solves the problem."
After a swift process, the dead Anjanath became their prey. Both Blaze and Flameboo expended considerable effort, especially Flameboo.
The massive fireball-shaped breath attack and the compressed heat ray breath attack were both extremely energy-consuming breathing techniques, and their destructive power should not be underestimated.
As for the Blazing Lightning, the struggle had exhausted much of their strength and depleted their lightning magic energy. Unable to pull the hunted Anjanath back to the herd, they could only contact the blue dragons of their tribe.
Chapter 292 The Silver-Haired Dragon Girl and the Dragon Engine
“Mulberry, go out and greet our guests. And regarding this conflict… our people should show some appreciation to your friends.”
In the darkness, the one communicating with Sangshen via telepathy was one of the Azure Dragons, slumbering beneath the sand. Sangshen's maternal grandmother was the leader of the Azure Dragon tribe.
"Hehe, Grandma, you're as generous as ever! I almost want to keep all these little gifts for myself!"
Even though Mulberry is now a colossal creature over forty meters tall, she is still just a tiny little thing in front of her maternal grandmother.
Sangshen switched back to her dragon girl form. In front of her were two huge treasure chests, each about ten meters square, filled with the finest black pearls and rubies.
In this world, jewels are more than just simple minerals. They can please dragons and serve as mediums for spellcasting.
These two chests of treasure contain black pearls the size of ping-pong balls, and rubies of the same size. They are beyond what wealth alone can buy.
Deep beneath the treasure chest, two spatial scales were hidden. These were top-grade items that the grandmother had seized from her enemies, containing genuine gifts for her two juniors, Yan Ling and Mo Yu.
"Report! Your Highness, outside... there's been a riot caused by the ancient dragons! Monsters have stormed into the young dragon hunting grounds! A beast dragon killed a green dragon that was blocking its way and is heading deeper into the hunting grounds!"
A blue dragon, acting as a scout, was reporting the details from outside. It did not have the authority to enter the tribal chief's territory and could only report from afar.
"...Flame Glaze and Blazing Lightning are still there! What level of beast dragons invaded?"
Mulberry immediately became alert, but her grandmother didn't react much:
"Young dragons, their soul imprints are all engraved and preserved by the Dragon Mother, so it's nothing serious. How can they become true dragons unless they crawl out of the brink of death?"
"After those two little things die once and are resurrected through the Dragon Mother's mark, you can give them a small reward in my name."
In this grandmother's view, being too protective of the young dragons would only hold them back, preventing them from experiencing the sublimation of the dragon's blood in life-or-death battles.
They are not helpless wild dragon cubs; their souls are preserved by the mark of the Dragon Mother.
