Chapter 44 - 44 Demonic Dragon’s Breath
44 Demonic Dragon’s Breath
In Shi Linglong’s territory, the battle was intense.
The Centaur Archer Army advanced from the East, the Evil Eye Army from the West, the Tauren Army from the South, and the Treeman Army from the North.
Shi Linglong was trembling. It was the first time in her life that she was facing so many enemies at once. From all four directions, the enemies swarmed like a tide.
Shi Linglong’s territory was located in an area with sufficient resources and the number of her troops far exceeded Su Wan’s. But the defense that she had formed with her troops was sinking.
“The resources of the territory have been almost used up. If this continues, there will be no more resources to revive the troops once they die. The more we fight, the fewer troops will be left. Defeat is inevitable!”
Shi Linglong panicked. Her only hope now was Su Wan. Based on the strength Su Wan had displayed in the competition, it seemed like solving the current situation wouldn’t be so much of a problem.
Shi Linglong saw that Su Wan didn’t use any powerful means in the present. The Black Gold Behemoth did not appear, nor did the Cerberus.
‘Is Su Wan deliberately hiding her trump card?’ wondered Shi Linglong.
Shi Linglong believed that Su Wan must have discovered something, but she was waiting for the right time to reveal her final move. But there wasn’t much time left. If they didn’t do something soon, they would be wiped out.
What Shi Linglong didn’t know was that Su Wan herself was terrified at this time. She realized that Xu Yuan had disappeared from sight. The Black Gold Behemoth didn’t appear, and the powerful Cerberus was nowhere to be seen.
Su Wan was stumped. ‘Did I make the wrong bet?’ she wondered. She had expected the Golden behemoth to mutate into Black Gold Behemoth especially in a desperate situation like this.
Su Wan anxiously looked into the distance. She had a theory. ‘It must all be related to that b*stard Xu Yuan! Without him, these troops surely can’t transform into anything at all!’
Su Wan was almost certain now that all the mutations and transformations were related to Xu Yuan.
It was because of Xu Yuan that the Golden behemoth had turned into Black Gold Behemoth and the Hellhounds had fused into three-headed Cerberus.
However, Xu Yuan wasn’t here at the moment. Nothing appeared. No mutations! No transformations!
Just as Su Wan was lost in her anxious thoughts, Shi Linglong’s cry rang in the air. “Wanwan! This doesn’t seem right at all!”
Shi Linglong grabbed Su Wan’s arm and pointed into the distance. “Did you notice that the number of Tauren soldiers is decreasing?”
Shi Linglong had seen the dense Tauren Army. The enemy troops could also consume resources to resurrect themselves and re-enter the battlefield. At this time, the main competition was related to the resources. Whichever side exhausted their resources would have a hard time reviving their troops and they would lose, crushed by the other opponent.
“Don’t they have any more resources?” asked Su Wan, puzzled.
The two of them calmed down a little. They observed the enemy army. They realized that the enemy troops were much fewer than before.
“That is strange. What’s wrong with them?”
“Maybe their territory was raided?” Shi Linglong guessed doubtfully.
Shi Linglong’s guess was not accurate, but it was close enough. While Su Wan and Shi Linglong faced the enemies, Xu Yuan had secretly gone with the Flower Fairy to do something big.
In front of the Flower Fairy lay the man-eating ants’ nest. The Flower Fairy was surprised. Although they were fairly weak, there were a whole bunch of them in the nest. She was shocked by their sheer numbers.
Xu Yuan observed the territory in front of him and reached a conclusion. While Xu Yuan observed the territory, the man-eating ants observed him.
In an instant, all the man-eating ants turned their gazes on Xu Yuan.
“Sir Luphus, they have found us!” The Flower Fairy was a little flustered.
At this moment, a dense swarm of man-eating ants crawled toward Xu Yuan. They spat acids from their mouths. When it hit the ground, white smoke arose.
“You dare to attack us?” The flower Fairy was enraged.
When she saw the dense man-eating ants, she was a little panicked in the beginning. She hadn’t even done anything to them and yet, they started attacking her! The Flower Fairy could not accept it.
“Your numbers are useless to me,” said the Flower Fairy. A magic array appeared under her feet, and she chanted in the air.
Circles of energy ripples spread out from beneath the flower fairy’s feet in an instant. Sprouts erupted from the ground and grew into ferocious man-eating flowers at a breakneck pace. A man-eating ant was swallowed whole by a man-eating flower.
The densely packed man-eating flowers collided with the densely packed man-eating ants!
This time, when the Flower Fairy attacked, Xu yuan did not stand idle. In the past, he rarely made a move because he didn’t want to waste his time and energy in useless fights. The experience he gained from useless fights with trivial creatures wasn’t enough for him to level up. He chose not to attack as much as possible.
However, now he was stuck at a level and couldn’t move beyond that. No matter how much experience he gained, he would not be able to level up. There was no use for him to avoid fights and continue to sleep.
This time, he attacked when the man-eating ants retaliated.
Demonic Dragon’s Breath
Xu Yuan spat out a mouthful of flames and set ablaze everything in the area. The man-eating ants wailed in agony. Even the man-eating flowers couldn’t escape his flames. His flames did not differentiate between friends and foes.
The Flower Fairy remained quiet as she looked at the man-eating flowers burning. She smiled at him and praised his strength.
Dark flames continued to burn.
Xu Yuan rarely used the Demonic Dragon’s Breath. Once it was used, it wouldn’t be extinguished until it reduced the enemies to ashes. The man-eating ants and man-eating flowers were now cinders on the ground.
After the man-eating ants and man-eating flowers were wholly burned, a notification appeared on Xu Yuan’s interface.
[Do you want to consume dark energy to transform the creatures burned by the Demonic Dragon’s Breath into the Undead?]
“Does it have that function too?” Xu Yuan had almost forgotten that he had such ability.
Living beings that were burned to death by the Demonic Dragon’s Breath could be transformed into the undead.
“Yes!”
Right now, Xu Yuan didn’t require the undead to do anything. He just wanted to see if the undead could be counted as part of the population in Su Wan’s territory to help upgrade the Territory Core.
