With its blurry, blood-red eyes wide open, the gray dragon looked at the bronze dragon it had pounced on and grinned with satisfaction, revealing its mouthful of broken, bloody fangs.
It pounced on the unfortunate leader of the Bronze Dragon team based on its instincts!
"Hahaha! You motherfucker, die!"
In the heat of battle, the bronze dragon leader didn't care about anything else. He raised his long, winding neck, turned sideways, and bit down first on the gray dragon's neck!
The gray dragon also opened its mouth and desperately bit at the bronze dragon's neck.
Now, the question remains: will the Bronze Dragonflight exhaust the severely wounded and exhausted Gray Dragon, or will the Gray Dragon's innate ability to absorb energy allow it to revive?
The two dragons were tearing at each other, trying to destroy each other completely. The bronze dragon's sharp teeth shattered the rough, uneven bone armor into pieces, while the gray dragon thirstily drank the bronze dragon's flesh and blood.
After a while, the bronze dragon leader stopped struggling and died directly in the mouth of the gray dragon.
Even though it had killed two strong bronze dragons, the accumulated wounds and the bronze dragons' desperate, reckless act of biting and spewing breath still inflicted unimaginable damage on the gray dragon...
"Roar--!!!"
With a furious roar, it slaughtered the leader and mistress of the bronze dragons. But now, the gray dragon, exhausted and on its last legs, has almost no chance of leaving the castle alive.
Now, the remaining strong bronze dragons roared in fury as they rose into the air. A torrent of lightning brewed and intensified in their mouths, awaiting the final blow to the gray dragon.
There is no way to retreat or escape.
"Who's next? Which lowly bronze dragon dares to die under my claws?!"
The gray dragon strained to maintain its body, its bloodshot eyes, deep within its bony scales, filled with a madness akin to that of a demon from hell.
"Stop it, all of you!"
A familiar voice tore through the battle formation with a deafening roar, and a magnificent black dragon shadow, seemingly capable of obscuring the sky, charged in first.
The Dragon Emperor's imposing presence pressed all the bronze dragons to the ground, and the brewing lightning breath further disrupted their balance.
Like a child who wets his pants in shock at a natural disaster, these bronze dragons suffered severe mental damage under Qin He's furious dragon emperor aura.
"...How are you?! Quickly!"
Seeing that the leader and matriarch of the Bronze Dragon tribe had both fallen to the ground, with the conspicuous and terrifying teeth marks of the Gray Dragon still on their bodies, Qin He understood everything.
Moreover, the Crimson Dragon, Blazing Feather, who had previously harbored suspicions and preconceived notions that the Gray Dragon had abandoned the team and fled, was now filled with shame.
Qin He immediately sprang into action, grabbing the two bronze dragons, who had just regained their senses, and lifted them into his claws. He slammed them down like sandbags, severely injuring them. Zhong Liuxiu then pounced over and used her healing skill to restore the gray dragon's condition from a distance.
Only after Qin He tore the half-dead bronze dragon in two and placed it before the gray dragon did it manage to utter its first words after their reunion:
"Not bad, right? I killed them both... but I couldn't handle them. As for the rest... you can kill them for me."
Having said that, the gray dragon didn't stand on ceremony with Qin He. It directly used the most savage method to tear open the throat of the bronze dragon in front of it and start life absorption.
"Of course! I'll kill them all for you. Not a single one will be left!"
Escape was too late; reinforcements from the Blue Dragon Clan poured into the castle, engaging in fierce battles with adult and mature bronze dragons.
Qin He did not forget what he had said before: the number of kills he would make up for when he advanced to the prime stage would be made up with the lives of bronze dragons.
After Qin He and Zhong Liuxiu healed the gray dragon, they turned and rushed to the front lines against the bronze dragon. Just then, the red dragon flew up and appeared before the gray dragon…
"You...did a great job."
Although the red dragon was fierce and brave, it never expected that the gray dragon would actually raid the camp alone, and would not hesitate to take the enemy's queen dragon hostage in order to revive it.
"Haha... After that, let's all follow him and fight together! Watching these bronze dragons... get chased and beaten like dogs is so satisfying!"
"Yes, let's go with him."
Chapter 375 The Watery and Plump Namiwa Dragon
Qin He had promised to give Zhong Liuxiu a good meal tonight. Qin Xinru and Zhong Xiling would naturally also come to exhaust his energy.
After annihilating the Bronze Dragon tribe, Qin He and his companions were all promoted to adult dragons. The team's level was determined by the average number of dragons in each age group.
Currently, within the Bronze Dragon tribe, the proportion of young and middle-aged dragons is lower than that of adult dragons. Therefore, this tribe is classified as an adult.
Based on the age ranking of adult dragons, each dragon would have 200 * 100 = 20000. The leader, the matriarch, and a few other strong-willed dragons are also considered adults.
Ultimately, the result was a total of one million points earned from the annihilation of fifty adult bronze dragons.
Considering the fun of advancing to higher levels, Dragon Island is indeed a good place to kill time. If Qin He weren't in a hurry to deal with the anomalies in the dungeon, he might have continued to play with Zhong Liuxiu.
Invitations were extended to the red and gray dragons, inviting them to the Land of Forsaken Gods to find Qin He if they wished. Serving under the Dragon Emperor would undoubtedly bring them many benefits.
Qin He could also split the 600,000 Mystic Dragon Coins earned from killing the Thunder Wolf Dragon equally.
Now, Zhuang Daihua and Qin Lan have a total of 200,000 reward points for their raids.
Including the 80,000 Mystic Dragon Coins obtained from the previous ambush on the mature Amethyst Dragon, and the 40,000 Mystic Dragon Coins each person received upon reaching adulthood and reaching age 400, that's 360,000.
For Qin He, the reward of 360,000 Secret Dragon Coins might not seem very generous. But for Zhuang Daihua, who was just starting out, it was a considerable sum.
Qin He still needs to distribute the million Secret Dragon Coins earned from wiping out the Bronze Dragon to the Blue Dragon, the Jade Dragon, and other members. The distribution will be completed once the accounts are settled.
After settling the red dragon, gray dragon, and the newly joined topaz dragon into the Blue Dragon tribe, Qin He and Zhong Liuxiu returned to Dragon Castle and began a thrilling night battle.
"Well, since this Dragon Ring can turn you into a purple dragon, you can stop riding on my back from now on! Understand?"
Upon leaving Secret Dragon Island, Qin Lan immediately transformed from a nearly thirty-meter-long, robust iron dragon back into its original form, which was just over ten meters long.
Now, in her eyes, Zhuang Daihua and Zilong were synonymous. A proud dragon would never allow another dragon to ride on its back—
Of course, Qin He could be her exception.
Zhuang Daihua quickly understood Qin Lan's sudden outburst of emotion.
Although she doesn't consider herself a purple dragon, the function of this Secret Dragon Ring is more to make her a druid-like being.
Druids can use their Feral Transformation ability to fight in animal form. Examples include wolves, bears, tigers, and leopards; some druids can even transform into monsters or other monstrous creatures.
For example, the Owl Bear can be used as a transformation form. In recent years, some people have also studied the ancient legends of hunters, who possess the ability to transform into monsters.
Although I haven't heard of anyone transforming into an Elder Dragon that's practically a mobile calamity, simply transforming into a powerful flying or beast dragon is enough to handle most situations.
You have three chances a day to transform into a purple dragon. If you charge it with magic crystals or other energy sources, you can even switch forms continuously.
Furthermore, as long as she doesn't revert to her transformation, Zhuang Daihua can maintain the body of the Purple Dragon. The Purple Dragon's magical talent, wisdom, and charisma can also be shared with Zhuang Daihua to some extent.
This transformed her from an ordinary girl into a magical genius.
With a transformation, Zhuang Daihua appeared as the slender and graceful young Zilong. She was about to go into the demiplane ring to see the kobolds' reaction.
Zhuang Daihua's previous concerns about the nature of the kobolds were not unfounded. Upon seeing the purple dragon, which was slightly larger than Qin Lan, they almost immediately knelt down in worship.
Kobolds are such a race; their dragon bloodline makes them inherently and unconditionally loyal to powerful dragons.
While it is said that a good bird chooses a good tree to perch on, ultimately it still comes down to strength.
Although Qinlan, as an Iron Dragon, will treat and protect his followers well, the kobolds might still switch allegiance to a stronger and more ferocious dragon in order to protect themselves.
The kobolds, who were busy building shelters for their people in the ring plane, also stopped their work and carefully looked up at Zhuang Daihua's dragon form.
"A dragon! It's...purple?!"
With scales as vibrant and elegant as violets, and a pair of striking white horns, Zhuang Daihua possessed the most standard and beautiful dragon physique.
It's not that the kobolds are ignorant; at least the Atheros are a dragon species with detailed records and lineages. But the Shiryu, due to its long-term battles with the Chromatic Dragons, has reduced to only a few bloodlines remaining in Hell.
Only the dog-headed elder could recognize that Zhuang Daihua had turned into Zilong.
"Hmph~ You don't need to look at me anymore. Go back to what you're doing. Qin Lan and I will be your protectors from now on... Do you understand?"
When Zhuang Daihua spoke, it was her natural human voice. The purple dragon that suddenly appeared was actually the mage girl they had previously offended with weapons.
Just thinking about it made some of the kobolds shudder and break out in a cold sweat.
As the "Purple Dragon," Zhuang Daihua is able to live alongside the Lawful Neutral Iron Dragon and share the same group of kobold retinues.
Based on Zhuang Daihua's previous actions, people subconsciously assumed that she was a gentle Zilong.
When the kobold elder first saw her, he was filled with the fear of being treated as a slave.
The reason is simple: Shiryu is also a brutal and evil dragon. While he may not be as cruel and savage as Black Dragon in treating his followers, he's not much better.
Even though she called herself a duchess and managed the affairs of Dragon Castle for Qin He in an orderly manner, Volper still had the nature of a tyrant at heart.
"Sherry, do you still recognize me?"
Zhuang Daihua was also nearly eleven meters long, and the purple dragon's form was noble and elegant. The Snow Owl Bear and her daughter were deliberately excluded from the dragon's might; soon, Shirley rolled over and pounced.
"Coo-coo—Sister Daihua~"
Its thick, snow-white down feathers were dotted with mottled black spots. The chubby snow owl bear cub politely rushed over and sat obediently with its head tilted in front of Zhuang Daihua.
“Miss Daihua… I never imagined that you could transform into a dragon.”
As the adult mother of the Snow Owl Bear, Xue Hui could tell that the dragon's form was not an ability possessed by Zhuang Daihua's own bloodline.
Considering the unexpected encounters one might have in places like the maze and Dragon Island, perhaps Zhuang Daihua obtained some kind of treasure that could transform her into a giant dragon.
"Well, everyone needs to pay close attention to the construction of the kobold settlement. I'm going to practice my newly acquired abilities first."
Instruct Xuehui to keep the matter of the Dragon Ring a secret from those kobolds. Then, Zhuang Daihua began to decipher the aura skill inheritance that Qin He had given her.
While it's theoretically possible to transform a breath weapon into dragon's might, none of the many exceptionally talented purple dragons in the world have managed to create such a powerful and imposing blade.
Similarly, the Amethyst Dragon does not automatically generate the Amethyst Majesty of Exploding Amethyst. Currently, the most complete system consists of fire, ice, lightning, poison, and acid—these are the more common breath weapons.
Among them, the Thunderous Majesty of Lightning Breath is the most practical. It envelops the entire body in lightning, and all enemies within range will be chased by the lightning.
Next comes fire and ice, with radiating high-temperature heat waves and low-temperature freezing air, which can even rival the destructive power brought by Elder Dragons.
Having already mastered the Burning Aura, Zhuang Daihua planned to continue her research. If she could use the Blade Aura, it would prove that this path was indeed viable.
A village inhabited by the kobolds was initially built within the demiplane ring. The corresponding crops were also planted.
Even with Qin Lan and her daughter Xue Xiao Xiong, the large amount of meat and dry food they had purchased earlier could still last until the first batch of crops ripened.
With the livestock specifically captured for the dog-headed people to graze, the overall development of Zhuang Daihua's territory was quite stable.
"Good evening~ It seems you've had an extraordinary encounter and are now capable of handling things on your own~"
Back in their camping tent, the giant fox Yu Li crossed her smooth, bare feet. She greeted Zhuang Daihua and then prepared to say goodbye.
"I will definitely go and see that evil dragon Qin He in person. After I retrieve Garuda, if fate allows, I may meet you again."
Knowing Qin He's true strength, Zhuang Daihua could only silently pray that the adorable fox before her wouldn't be beaten to the point of questioning its very existence.
……
The next day, Qin He, who had been working all night, was awakened by Zhong Liuxiu. Upon reaching the fourteenth floor, he found it submerged by a tsunami, completely transformed into a vast ocean.
"Is there really a Namielle Dragon living here?"
Previously, Qin He hadn't obtained much valuable information about the fourteenth floor. He hadn't expected that the Namielle Dragon was actually hidden there.
According to Frostbloom, the Ice Dragon, the Namielle Dragon that lives here is also a newly grown individual who has reached the early stage of godhood, and the two dragons have even fought once.
After briefly imagining the scene of Namielle Dragon stirring up towering waves and Velkhana Dragon freezing the battlefield, Qin He couldn't help but sigh again.
This tiny underground city is incredibly lucky to be able to accommodate so many powerful figures like you.
Those adventurers who only lingered on floors one through five were indeed making a rational choice.
An ancient dragon might suddenly appear, even if it doesn't attack proactively. The mere disturbance of natural energy caused by its existence is enough to bring about natural disasters.
The Namielle is an ancient dragon capable of manipulating both water and electricity. It glows like a jellyfish and possesses manta ray-like wing membranes that extend to the tip of its tail, making it adept at gliding and swimming.
The wing membranes connected to the Namielle's body have a smooth, translucent black back, resembling the texture of latex. Normally, its body emits a reddish-purple sheen, and its long, slender tentacles along its neck are similar to those of the Golden Dragon.
However, the tentacles of the Namielle exhibit a dazzling, LED-like glow. This is likely due to the electrical energy converted from the natural energy within its body.
In terms of the ability to use electric shocks alone, Kirin is more threatening than Namielle.
However, the Namielle Dragon relies on compressed water filled with natural energy to kill enemies using high-pressure water jets and bubbles. It further combines this with electric current attacks.
"Yes, she, like me, is an individual with a human form. Right now... she should be asleep?"
In this world, the intelligence of the ancient dragons is roughly the same as Qin He's understanding. Compared to gods, they are more like savage beasts with terrifying power.
They eat symbolically, then sleep soundly, occasionally fighting with other ancient dragons for territory. This is the life of most ancient dragons.
Qin He was pondering how to fool Mingbo Long.
"Your Highness Qin He, rest assured, I will remove her right away."
Shuanghua raised her long, slender dragon neck. Judging from her posture, she was going to jump into the water and storm the Namielle Dragon's lair to drag it out.
"Hmm, if she appears on the surface of the sea, I can try to catch her too."
