Dragon Tamer

Chapter 424: Chapter 426: Black Dragon Advances
Zhu Minglang stood on top of the city wall, his gaze fixed on the place from where the strange calls were coming.

The aura of the monsters was incredibly dense, like a pile of thick cow dung in the midst of fragrant flowers, instantly covering all other scents and making it impossible to ignore.

Zhu Minglang turned back to look at the half sky above Yellow Leaf City and saw that the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon had killed the seventeen-hundred-year-old Lizard Water Monster and was flying patrols in the sky once more.

“Qing Zhuo, come to me,” Zhu Minglang said to the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon.

The Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon glided down, and Zhu Minglang took hold of its claws, letting it carry him towards the depths of the Reed Marsh.

The Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon had not fully grown in size yet and couldn’t be ridden for flying, but gliding with Zhu Minglang like this posed no problems.

They flew over a big group of Red-Necked Lizards, each and every one retracting its head, not daring to meet eyes with the powerful Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon.

Fortunately, the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon was not targeting them, otherwise they would have to immediately dive into the mud to have any chance of survival.

“It’s just ahead, and I estimate it’s quite old,” said Zhu Minglang seriously.

The demonic Qi was extremely heavy, and almost all of the Red-Necked Lizard Monsters followed its commands. Its strange calls were like a demonic horn to the Lizard Water Demon Group.

Zhu Minglang had to kill the creature that was intelligent and commanding all the Lizard Water Monsters, otherwise, no matter how bravely the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon and Little Black Dragon fought, there would always be some that slipped through the net.

For ordinary people, any Lizard Water Monster was a terrifying beast that would leave not even bone scraps behind when it gnawed on its prey.

The aura was already very strong, Zhu Minglang had Little Qingzhuo fly lower, and just as he was about to search for the owner of the strange calls, suddenly the reeds moved without wind, opening up row by row in a neat circle pattern.

Within the pitch darkness, Zhu Minglang saw a monstrous umbrella lying in the marsh, which suddenly opened, bloodied and dripping like a huge mouth, while bizarrely, at its very center, was a head with abnormal coloring, with a pair of bulging eyes rolling around like stone spheres!

Little Qingzhuo reacted quickly, immediately flapping its wings with force, lifting Zhu Minglang to a higher altitude.

It was only then, looking down, Zhu Minglang realized the giant, horrifying umbrella was actually the ruffled neck of a Lizard Monster, its neck skin exaggerated to the point it could fan open like a peacock and transform into a mouth capable of swallowing a fully grown Giant Dragon!

Just moments ago, this Lizard Monster had intended to swallow both Little Qingzhuo and Zhu Minglang in one gulp!

Many lizards have ruffled necks, but none was as horrifying as this, having evolved an external mouth that enabled the Lizard Monster with a small head to swallow larger creatures!

This Exotic Lizard Demon had a Cultivation Base of at least four thousand years!!

“This guy is the Different Demon Lizard that the academy has been tracking. I didn’t expect it to be here, no wonder there are Lizard Monsters all around Yellow Leaf City,” Zhu Minglang took a deep breath.

“Good, we’ll use this four-thousand-year-old Different Demon Lizard as a whetstone for your evolution to adulthood!” Zhu Minglang said to the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon.

The Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon let out a phoenix cry. Although it was night and there was no harsh sunlight to provide it with stronger energy, this only added to the challenge!

To break through its own limits, it had to sharpen its skills in adversity. Day and night would alternate, and the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon couldn’t always battle under the sunshine!

The Different Demon Lizard’s umbrella-like neck ruffle pulsated, and suddenly, a splatter of blood-red poison fluid shot out!

These dense droplets of blood-red poison were like a squadron of archers firing arrows into the sky in succession, forming a terrifying curtain of blood-red arrows!

The Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon flew towards a deciduous tree, letting Zhu Minglang land on it first, and then immediately took to the sky again, radiating a bluish glow from its body. The glow transformed into a Phoenix-shaped Light Shield, blocking the blood-red poison arrows.

Zhu Minglang changed into the Charm Shadow Clothes, easily hiding himself in the darkness and observing the Exotic Lizard Demon in detail.

The Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon coiled in the sky above, stirring up an azure airstream. This spiraling current, like the tail of a dragon of wind, viciously struck the ground.

The Different Demon Lizard still lay there, without moving an inch. Faced with such spiraling air currents, it didn’t even bother to retract its neck frill and simply used its swollen body to endure the blow.

The whipping tail of the wind dragon was like a lash on a boulder—despite the thickness of the Different Demon Lizard’s hide, its body underneath the muddy swamp was presumed to be extremely massive, immovable by such force!

The Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon’s feathers ignited throughout its body, then it dived down in a steep descent, with azure flames and wings burning with holy fire!

“Boom!!!!!”

A gorgeous ring of fire was created as the azure flames impacted the earth, instantly burning the winter reeds in the swamp to nothingness.

The Different Demon Lizard was scorched and eroded by this intense blaze, yet it still didn’t move; instead, as it was burned by the azure flames, it suddenly raised its head and spewed out a vast expanse of Abnormal Colored Demon Gas!!

The demonic gas spread through the air, leaving the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon unable to avoid it, and upon the slightest contact, poisonous sores immediately sprouted all over its body!

Zhu Minglang hastily retreated to a farther location using the Charm Shadow Clothes, hating these poisonous things more than anything. If Sword Spirit Dragon had been there, the instant that Different Demon Lizard raised its head, Zhu Minglang would have chopped off its damn head!

Fortunately, the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon possessed purifying light feathers; as its feathers lit up with holy patterns, the holy light rippled like waves stirred in a lake, and the poison sores were quickly suppressed, while the surrounding Abnormal Colored Demon gas was dispersed.

Light Wing Scissors!

The Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon’s wings, sharp as scissors, crossed and two fierce beams of light shot out. They interweaved back and forth in midair and viciously snipped at the Different Demon Lizard’s body upon reaching it!

“Whoosh!!”

“Whoosh!!”

Two shocking gashes appeared on the swamp, and the skin of the Exotic Lizard Demon was finally sliced open.

Blood, equally potent with poison, flowed from the wounds of the Different Demon Lizard and quickly began to corrode the surrounding vegetation.

“Oh~~~~~~~~~~~”

A roar came from behind, Zhu Minglang turned to look and found that Little Black Dragon had been overwhelmed by over a hundred Red-Necked Lizards, which were climbing on top of it, gnawing at its vulnerable spots.

“Qing Zhuo, help Black Fang first!” Zhu Minglang urgently said.

Although they could have taken advantage of the injured Different Demon Lizard’s vulnerability to launch a fierce attack, the adolescent Little Black Dragon had run into a small predicament. Without retreating to support it, Little Black Dragon would have a hard time getting back up.

The Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon closed its light feathers, about to fly back, when a furious roar came from near the city gate, shaking the ground with its tremors!

Zhu Minglang looked over only to see Little Black Dragon, covered in Red-Necked Lizards, somehow manage to stand up. It erupted with a burst of black energy, resembling an erupting black volcano, vaporizing all the Red-Necked Lizards!

At the same time, Little Black Dragon’s body size surged, its bones and muscles seemingly rebuilding in that instant—from its original four meters, it suddenly grew to over a dozen meters, now level with the city walls!!

“ROAR!!!!!!!!!!”

The ancient rage scattered, the city walls shook!!

The adolescent Little Black Dragon grew stronger with each kill in this relentless slaughter, and even managed to break through amidst this frenzied bloodlust—the Black Dragon evolved!
