Starting with watering the World Tree for otherworldly survival

Page 376

The sudden turn of events left Yu Li at a loss. Fortunately, although they had been raised by the organization, they were not bound by any blood pacts or other restrictions.

As long as Yu Li doesn't like Qin He, it won't have any impact on her even if she leaves the Dead City Merchant Guild.

"Um... Qin He, cough... Your Highness Qin He."

This is so sudden! I originally came to rescue people and clean up the mess left by my sisters who failed their mission. Who would have thought that Qin He would now have partnered with the Dead City Merchant Guild and become my boss?

Regardless, let's change our tune first.

At least in the eyes of those silver dragons, Qin He wasn't a bad person...

The throne prepared for Qin Helong's body was almost large enough to be used as a giant bed. Even a silver fox with nine fluffy tails could roll around and frolic on it.

Nine fluffy and very long silver-white fox tails possessed an excellent smooth texture. While concealing Yu Li's voluptuous and charming body, they also made her look like a large ball of yarn.

"Oh, honey, when did you manage to sort things out? You were pretty efficient."

Seeing that Qin He seemed very interested in Yu Li's fluffy silver-white fox tail, Zhong Liuxiu took the initiative to twist her equally plump and juicy buttocks and bring her tail up for him to touch.

Having learned her lesson, Yu Li deliberately lay in a position far away from Qin He. If the situation changed, she could immediately disappear without a trace.

—On the condition that she can manage the few ancestral dragons watching the young dragons perform from the audience.

On the side of the colorful dragons, the red dragon Yanling, the blue dragon Sangshen, and the black dragon Moyu were all present to watch the battle.

On the metal dragon side, there are also the Golden Dragon Xizhao, the Silver Dragon Yuehuang, and the Brass Dragon Chengjing in charge.

It must be said that the difference between the chromatic dragons and the metal dragons in human form is immediately apparent. Yan Ling and the others are alluring figures with voluptuous breasts and wide hips, while the three ancestral metal dragons are all petite loli-like figures.

With them here to keep order, and with many ancient dragons residing within Qin He's spatial scales, Yu Li would have no chance of flying away even if she had wings.

……

Looking back at the battle between the lightning and the dust, thunder and fire devoured each other, and torrential rain, aided by the flow of the river in the forest, stirred up magical waves like a tsunami.

Dust Rust is very clever; she knows how to forge new paths beyond her inherent lightning attribute. Just like some red dragons who, while wielding fire, can also manipulate and draw upon the energy of the earth.

They can cause fire and the earth to erupt with lava, and even create earthquakes by brute force.

Now, Rust is using its natural advantages as a bronze dragon to try and manipulate things other than lightning—waves and storms!

As a dragon, it could cast spells without any chanting. Dust Rust flapped its wings, causing a brief tornado of magical energy to rise in the woods.

The tornado swept up the water, engulfing Chidian and the cave behind her.

The rules of the capture-the-flag game state that if a team's flag is taken down from its original position, they are declared the loser.

With the mighty waves crashing down, the rusty dust was confident it could topple the flags inside the cave. Then, victory would belong to the metal dragon.

Similarly, even if incandescent electricity were to burn a ring of light, it would be impossible to evaporate waves of this scale.

"You've already lost! Blazing Lightning, you have no chance of winning now—"

"Really? But that's alright, I'll prove it to you with my abilities..."

With all its might, the blazing lightning instantly combined with the burning and thunderous auras. The raging lightning and flames engulfed the waves, while the blazing lightning unleashed its full power, spewing lava from the ground.

After this attack, regardless of victory or defeat, Dust Rust should retreat. The Silver Dragon and Chrome Dragon should have arrived to provide support long ago, but so far, not a single scale has been seen.

As the attacker, Dust Rust only needs to keep tearing through the enemy's defenses. But as the general guarding the pass, Chi Dian has much more to consider; she must constantly stand guard at the cave entrance to repel the attacks.

In other words, as long as the dust and rust retreat and return, the fiery electricity that cannot leave the cave cannot hold her back.

Steam spreads, and blazing electricity fights back against the surging waves and tornadoes, truly confronting natural disasters with its own power.

Besides using the Burning Aura and Thunder Aura, the crucial trump card was also revealed at this moment.

Inherited from the colorful princess, the hellfire breath he received from Bayelu's gift has also transformed into the third halo on Blazing Lightning's body.

To be honest, Hellfire Breath is only used against the Golden Dragon Royal Nightingale, and it might only be useful in extreme situations where it's a king against a king.

Its advantage lies in not being immune to the Golden Dragon's fire resistance immunity. However, when facing the Royal Nightingale, Blazing Lightning will use its Lightning Breath more often.

Apart from that, the only other occasion where Hellfire Breath can be used is now.

The three overlapping halos consumed a massive amount of energy, but also successfully evaporated the waves of the bronze dragon.

The banners behind them were unharmed, and the bronze dragons had vanished. It was Dust and Rust that had carried them away.

But it doesn't matter, the Hellfire Aura from before was not affected by the rainstorm's damage and burned the bronze dragon squarely.

Hellfire Breath is black flames from hell that cause energy damage; it cannot be negated by torrential rain or ocean waves.

"Although you escaped, you cannot escape the taste of hellfire. Bronze Dragon, you have lost!"

The roar of Blazing Lightning echoed through the forest, expressing the joy of victory. Rust, on the other hand, endured the burning black flames on its body as it searched for the other two reverted dragon cubs.

"Damn it! What is that chrome dragon doing? Silver dragons hold back against their enemies, does that mean it does too? If I had even one helper, I wouldn't have lost!"

Leading the bronze dragons back, Dust Rust immediately gave the order:

"Spread out from here and completely destroy the Green Dragon and Black Dragon's defenses from the rear! Provide immediate support to Silver Dragons and Chrome Dragons if you encounter them, and make sure they can continue their attack on the Chromatic Dragon's camp."

"The battle has started on Huang Ying's side, and I have to go back. She needs to burn three drops of true blood for this battle, and you know what that means."

Flame Glaze, Lantern Glaze, and Zhuang Daihua—the most elite combatants on the Color Dragon's side—were almost impossible to withstand.

Even if they mobilized the Gold Dragon, Iron Dragon, Chrome Dragon, and the Silver Dragon that was gradually returning to defend, how long could they hold out against the three strongest reverted baby dragons?

The opponent's red dragon, blue dragon, and purple dragon are not to be underestimated either. If the burden of this tough battle falls entirely on Huang Ying's shoulders, that would be disastrous.

Once the Silver Dragon and the Chrome Dragon arrive, they can definitely take down the Blazing Lightning Dragon together. With the Chromatic Dragon's base completely empty, there's no need to send in any more extra troops.

Now, Chen Xiu must at least go back and hold off either Deng Liu or Zhuang Daihua.

The bronze dragon, seemingly undeterred by any loss of energy, continued its march back towards the metal dragon's camp.

……

"You wretched flying insects, you've annoyed me!"

Watching the distant battle of the reverted young dragons, with its thunder and fire and towering waves, Zhou Han, whose pace had been slowed down, gradually went from being entertained to being enraged.

The strength of the Gold Rathian and Silver Rathian is incomparable to that of their subspecies.

If Azure Rathalos and Pink Rathian were merely prey to be hunted at will, then the rare species before him was a true, immortal cockroach!

Their incredibly vigorous vitality makes them impossible to defeat, no matter how hard you try. Unless you break through their vital points like their heads, necks, or hearts, Zhou Han can't easily take them down.

Unable to control the degree to spare its opponent's life, the Chrome Dragon knew the outcome of the battle when it saw the wind and waves subside at the Chromatic Dragon's camp.

"Damn it, the bronze dragon couldn't defeat the opponent's hybrid. That silver dragon is truly useless!"

Even so, the cold light between the chrome dragon's claws grew stronger and stronger. Since the fire dragon wanted to keep her so much, it would tear off the tails of these two beasts as a souvenir!

The Golden Rathalos's tail, which swings like a meteor hammer, is full of poisonous needles. Even in its juvenile stage, the toxins within a Golden Rathalos should not be underestimated.

Just as the Chrome Dragon was about to unleash a hail breath to repel the charging Silver Rathalos, her innate intuition told her that other dangers lurked...

Suddenly, a white dragon burst forth from the ground with remarkable agility. It soared into the air and withstood the hailstorm's breath with its own body.

Although it cost him his skin and flesh torn apart, the white dragon also managed to lock Zhou Han's wings.

The newcomer was none other than White Dragon Kaiser, who had previously fought to a draw with Yan Liu, both of whom went out of bounds on the arena!

"Damn it... You lowly Bai Lin, how dare you stand before me? Die!"

Anger surged to its peak at this moment. When the white dragon pounced on it in mid-air, it lost its balance and immediately began to bite at its shoulder blade, as if to tear the white dragon in two.

Silverfire Dragon dared not be careless. Its pair of venomous claws, even more swift than those of an eagle, immediately seized Curse Frost and tore her deadly teeth from the white dragon's body.

"...Poison again, hehehe! I will definitely tear off your tails and sell them to the Copper Dragon!"

A poisonous claw pierced through the Chromium Dragon's shoulder, and at the same time, the Gold Rathian's tail hammer struck. Caught in the simultaneous attack of two rare Rathalos species, Zhou Han was momentarily disoriented.

"It's now!"

The once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was fleeting; the wounds torn by the venomous claws and tail stingers froze instantly.

The obsidian dragon, hidden in the shadows, bursts forth from the earth, heading straight for Curse Cold!

Simultaneously engaging with two fire dragons, the Obsidian Dragon teleported them together to the Fire Elemental Plane! Ordinary young silver and chrome dragons would be in grave danger just by standing there.

So when the tournament started, the metal dragons, who knew about the rule against killing enemies, never expected the obsidian dragon to use this tactic.

Of course, ordinary young dragons will indeed die in the Fire Elemental Plane. But individuals that have reverted to their ancestral form and possess an aura can survive in the Fire Elemental Plane!

"Heh... Damn you, you black charcoal! Is this your plan? To force me to maintain a freezing aura to protect myself in the fire elemental plane."

"If I want to return to the battlefield, I'll have to keep your obsidian dragon alive. Hmm?"

Zhou Han's ability to adapt to changing circumstances allowed her to immediately grasp the overall situation.

"That unfortunate silver dragon should be trapped by the same tactics too, right? No matter... I'll tear you apart and keep you hanging by a thread!"

Before it could disengage, the obsidian dragon was instantly seized by Curse Frost's right wing. With a loud ripping sound as bones snapped, dragon blood, gleaming with a blackish-red light, splattered wildly across the fire elemental plane!

In the blink of an eye, having lost a wing, the Obsidian Dragon flew away in terror. The Gold Rathian and Silver Rathalos were caught off guard by this sudden turn of events.

"Heh...! The one who set up this trap is definitely not an ordinary young dragon. Is it Blazing Lightning? Or... the Dragon Emperor?"

Remove the hail used by the Freeze Aura to attack, and further reduce its effective range so that it only covers the smooth and translucent surface of the chrome dragon.

With minimal consumption of magic energy, Zhou Han forcefully resisted the severe high temperature of the fire elemental plane!

……

"It's the Fire Elemental Plane. You actually chose to bring me here. Well done, cousin."

On the other side, Silver Dragon Leng Xu was also trapped in the fire elemental plane. After testing the waters a few times, she began to adjust the effective range of the freezing aura.

Soon, she also achieved the same level as Zhou Han, making the aura effective only on the surface of her body.

The Obsidian Dragon is called a cousin because the Silver Dragon and the Obsidian Dragon do indeed share a common origin. As a young dragon that has reverted to its ancestral form, Leng Xu is qualified to receive this kind of inheritance.

Compared to Zhou Han's ruthless and decisive direct confrontation, Leng Xu had just relied on manipulating air currents and other spells to gradually neutralize the combined attack of the gold and silver fire dragons.

Even now, there is still no trace of poisoning on Leng Xu's slender, ancestral dragon body.

Conversely, the Golden Rathalos and Silver Rathalos suffered a decline in physical abilities due to being affected by her paralyzing breath.

“My cousin… after I defeat the fire dragon, please take us out of here.”

Silver dragons are the most talkative metal dragons, while obsidian dragons are the most intelligent and cunning gem dragons. Many silver dragons don't even acknowledge obsidian dragons because of their terrible personalities.

"Sure, if you can defeat both fire dragons, I will immediately admit defeat and take you out."

Faced with this sensible, atavistic silver dragon, the obsidian dragon did not intend to run away and buy time.

Their mission is to wear down the silver dragon; ideally, they could kill it. If they are defeated, they will simply have to accept their fate.

With its breath attack severely restricted by the environment, the Silver Dragon will now have to rely on its purest physical strength to deal with the Gold Rathian and Silver Rathian.

The opponent's immature Calamity Flame will only burn more fiercely and violently in the fire elemental plane.

……

At the entrance to the Metal Dragon's stronghold, the Gold Dragon, Iron Dragon, Chrome Dragon, and seven Silver Dragons that had returned to defend formed a battle formation to try to stop the enemy's advance.

Zhuang Daihua had previously shot down one silver dragon, and Yan Liu had also captured another. Apart from Leng Xu, who was trapped in the fire elemental plane, all the other silver dragons had gathered here.

On the other hand, the red and blue dragons, grinding their teeth and sucking blood, both revealed terrifying and ferocious battle postures.

The four purple dragons following behind Zhuang Daihua usually appear elegant. But in battle, they can be even more brutal and bloodthirsty than the red dragons.

The bronze dragons following behind Dust Rust, at the cost of minor injuries, eliminated all the green and black dragons that had been defeated in the rear.

Now, Dust Rust led the bronze dragons to encircle the enemy from the rear.

However, the battle did not tilt in favor of the Metal Dragons despite their overwhelming numerical superiority.

Because there are five ancestral dragons standing here! Deng Liu, Huang Ying, Yan Liu, Chen Xiu, and Zhuang Daihua, whose strength is no less than theirs.

"Kill all the rainbow dragons!"

The purple dragons' blinding breath exploded in an instant, and the metal dragons, who were prepared, also unleashed their breaths in unison!

Instantly, the elements on the field intertwined, unleashing a magnificent explosion. Fire, ice, and lightning erupted under dazzling light.

Remembering her conversation with Qin He, Zhuang Daihua charged straight towards Huang Ying's location. Having spent so much time with Qin Lan, she knew Tie Long's weaknesses best.

Faced with these powerful external aids, Zhuang Daihua must do everything in her power to defeat them!

As the dust settled, the red dragons charged forward fiercely, immediately dragging the silver dragons, who were unable to take flight, into melee combat. The purple dragons, on the other hand, skillfully maneuvered, using the advantage of their sharp breath attacks to hold off the gold dragon head-on!

The blue dragons turned and burrowed underground to provide support. Meanwhile, Flame Glaze unleashed its full power, extending its maximum damage radius to target the bronze and chrome dragons.

"Ice Spell Majesty!"
