Starting with watering the World Tree for otherworldly survival

Page 302

Qin He had previously used magic to enlarge himself proportionally and had engaged in sexual relations with Zhong Liuxiu, who was in the form of a dragon.

That perfectly balanced graininess truly opened the door to a new world for Qin He.

However, after that incident, Zhong Liuxiu never transformed into dragon form again and did it with Qin He. The reason seemed to be that she was too shy…

Zhuang Daihua was unaware of what Qin He had done. After honing her digging skills, she prepared to return with Qin Lan to meet up with Qin He and the others.

.........

Looking back at Qin He's side, the addition of the three young blue dragons went quite smoothly. Qin He only needed to use his Dragon Emperor's Majesty to suppress the adult dragons he encountered, and then take advantage of their suppression to strike and kill them.

But this time, Qin He encountered a troublesome prey by the riverbank.

Topaz Dragon. One type of gem dragon. The current ranking of gem dragon strength, excluding the sensitive identity and evil faction of Obsidian, is: Amethyst > Sapphire > Jade > Topaz > Crystal.

Obsidian Dragons are stronger than Sapphire Dragons and on par with Amethyst Dragons. This is because they possess fire breath that poses a greater threat to other gem dragons.

Currently, the Amethyst Dragon, whose strength is slightly inferior to the Red Dragon and Silver Dragon, is considered the most powerful gem dragon.

But long ago, the Topaz Dragon was the most powerful gem dragon. It was slightly stronger than the Amethyst Dragon, and its size was even larger than the Amethyst Dragon, only slightly smaller than the Gold Dragon.

For various reasons, the original species of Yellow Jade Dragon has gradually decreased. In its place are weaker individuals that use negative energy within their bodies as a means of exhalation.

The original species of Yellow Jade Dragons—they are distinguished from those Yellow Jade Dragons that are smaller in size, spew dark corrosive energy, and sit at the same table as the Black Dragons and White Dragons.

The truly powerful Jade Dragon possesses Entropy Breath, which is completely different from Dark Eclipse.

Entropy Breath has the ability to age and dehydrate the opponent's body; it can evaporate the opponent's blood and other fluids simply by directly contacting the wound.

On Dragon Island, facing the original species, Huang Yulong, means being constantly on guard. Being hit by Entropy Breath is equivalent to inflicting a weakening effect.

While the force is greatly reduced, if it gets sprayed onto a wound, it will evaporate the blood, causing further injury.

If it is the original species of Yellow Jade Dragon, its breath is no less threatening than that of Purple Dragon and Amethyst Dragon.

Of course, if a inferior jade dragon that spews Dark Corrosion Breath successfully reverts to its ancestral form, it can still regain the Breath of Entropy and its original massive size.

Although the original species of Jade Dragon is very strong, there is a saying that the past is the past and the present is the present. If we keep taking the past as the present, why don't we compare the limits of each dragon species?

There are actually some shameful inferior species among the Iron Dragons. Some of the degraded Iron Dragons are even less intelligent and stronger than the White Dragons.

Even some goblin tribes can tame inferior Iron Dragons. However, because normal and powerful Iron Dragons still make up the majority, they are still considered the strongest sub-Iron Dragon species.

Another theory suggests that the Deep Dragon in the Underdark is actually a completely degraded version of the Purple Dragon.

The Deep Dragon is classified as a chromatic dragon, yet it is not a creation of Tiamat. Those corrupted Iron Dragons are also considered part of the Metal Dragons.

Neither the Purple Dragon nor the Iron Dragon are recognized by their original species; they are directly kicked out of the original species. They also happen to be the obscure "cousins" of the Color Dragon and Metal Dragon.

This correspondence, coupled with the fact that the Deep Dragon and the Purple Dragon do indeed share some physical similarities, easily leads scholars to associate them with the deterioration and decline of dragons.

Qin He wasn't too concerned, because as a chosen one of nature, he could access the inherited information at any time. These conjectures might be true, but on Secret Dragon Island, Qin He preferred knowledge that was beneficial to him.

For example, the Jade Dragon has always been hostile to the Bronze Dragon, and they also live in waters such as the seashore.

Compared to the conflict between black dragons and bronze dragons, which lasted for hundreds of years without ever meeting, the killings between topaz dragons and bronze dragons are more widely known.

Black dragons are cruel and savage, not stupid. They live in swamps or lakes and have no reason to travel to rivers or the sea to fight bronze dragons that are far stronger than themselves.

However, the yellow jade dragon and the bronze dragon are directly hostile to each other in terms of their ecological niche.

The original Yellow Jade Dragons meticulously record how many Bronze Dragons they have killed, creating a kill list. Upon arriving at Dragon Island, they can indulge in their spree to the fullest.

Whether it's the original species or the now more prevalent weakened inferior species, Huang Yulong's body is permeated with dark corrosive energy, also known as negative energy.

This makes them quite bad-tempered. For bronze dragons that frequently have territorial and resource disputes, topaz dragons will definitely kill them as soon as possible.

Before me was a fully grown jade dragon, a magnificent and robust specimen, smooth as amber and entirely yellow in color, of the original species.

The sharp, long spiral on her head was completely different from Zhong Liuxiu's small croissant.

Aside from the iconic Obsidian Dragon, the faces of most Gem Dragons are wildly imaginative. In Qin He's opinion, the Jade Dragon's appearance is quite cool.

The floating crystal spines that extend from the top of the head to the spine and all the way to the tip of the tail are also a characteristic of some gem dragons.

Although it looks like a fragile work of art, and the scales of the Gem Dragon are indeed more brittle than those of other dragon species, this does not mean that the Topaz Dragon cannot engage in melee combat.

Even if a golden dragon or a red dragon were to engage in hand-to-hand combat, it would have to think twice. Its entropy breath is not simply something that evaporates at high temperatures.

"Ok?"

The adult Huang Yulong also noticed Qin He and Zhong Liuxiu's approach. Its size was even larger than that of the golden dragon, and Qin He successfully made it wary.

"Black Dragon? You despicable filth... Get out of my sight!"

Negative energy attacks and mind spells are unusable, but with Entropy Breath, it can still live comfortably on Dragon Island.

Huang Yulong naturally wouldn't give the black dragon a friendly look when it suddenly appeared.

"You've gone too far! You should be kneeling before me."

Qin He vented his anger on Zhong Liuxiu and the two beautiful mothers, but the fact that the bronze dragon had stolen their home and killed the adult red dragon still made Qin He furious.

Since this jade dragon is so ungrateful, let it experience some real power.

Without using the Dragon Emperor's majesty, Qin He directly struck Huang Yulong's head with a claw. The resounding boom of the impact and the piercing crack of bone echoed simultaneously in Huang Yulong's ears.

Not only that, Qin He also blocked Huang Yulong's all-out attack head-on!

For the original species, Huang Yulong, who prides itself on its size and strength, being able to withstand a full-force charge attack head-on is simply impossible.

Even a golden dragon would have been knocked back a distance by it at this point.

"The trials on Secret Dragon Island seem to have both advantages and disadvantages. They've actually turned Huang Yulong into a savage melee fighter. How about it... do you want to come again?"

Enraged, Huang Yulong dodged backward, leaped into the air with all his might, and opened his enormous maw full of crystalline teeth. The Entropy Breath immediately gathered its power and unleashed it towards Qin He.

"fool……!"

Qin He neither dodged nor evaded, but instead opened his mouth and unleashed a frost breath to meet the attack head-on. The entropy breath, which evaporated liquid and was powered by psionic energy, was blocked by Qin He's frost.

Moreover, Qin He's movements were far faster than Huang Yulong's. The instant their breaths clashed, Qin He had already taken to the air.

Even with various flight enhancement spells, the silver dragon might not be as fast as Qin He; his flight posture in mid-air was like that of the most agile eagle.

Or rather... an ancient dragon species.

Iceborne, Silver Wyvern, and Steel Dragon—these ancient dragons with two wings and four legs all possess remarkable flying abilities. Qin He clearly flew even better than them.

If it weren't for the lightning breath, other spitting weapons would have a hard time hitting Qin He.

"Let's make a deal, let's go and kill the bronze dragon together~ Either you fight me, or I'll kill you first."

As he spoke, Qin He grabbed Huang Yulong's back with both claws and pressed him down into the air, subduing him fiercely on the riverbank.

"That damn bronze-scaled bastard? Where are those despicable beasts?"

Mentioning bronze dragons, this original jade dragon perked up. With its head held high, gleaming with precious light, it looked around at the riverbank.

"Calm down, the enemy is a bronze dragon tribe. They have a grudge against me, and there are several strong men among them. But I'm about to advance in rank, so let's go kill the bronze dragons together."

"You need a head too, right? Using bronze dragons to reach the kill count, no jade dragon would refuse to do such a big job~ don't you think?"

Qin He's charm, amplified by his innate talent, reached an unbelievable level. This charm, of course, doesn't refer to mindlessly seducing females, but rather to the ability to convince others with his words.

Clearly, Qin He's current appearance, which any dragon would admire, is one aspect. His extraordinary demeanor and speech are also another.

The combined appeal of all these factors is the decisive factor in whether the other party will agree with what you say.

"How exactly are you going to kill them? Let me tell you in advance, I'm not stupid enough to let you use me as a pawn and send me to the mouths of those mature bronze dragons!"

Huang Yulong was somewhat tempted by Qin He's suggestion, given Qin He's current combat prowess. It was said that Qin He, in his adult form, could easily crush a young adult, and perhaps no one would disagree.

In the outside world, where various means are available, he would probably have a chance of winning even if he were to fight an ancient dragon that is thousands of years old.

Not to mention, if you team up and wipe out the Bronze Dragon, you'll also get a wipe reward.

"Can you beat them? If you can't, I won't force you. Those bronze dragons have taken over the castle. If you're interested, you can go see for yourself..."

"Kill some bronze dragons there, evolve into your own dragon, and then go find them to cause trouble. I'm just telling you this information; whether you can seize it or not is up to you."

Dragon Island is a trial in the form of a game, Huang Yulong understands. Even if the Black Dragon has ill intentions and wants to use him, he won't reveal this information to him.

But which of Huang Yulong's men could resist giving his nemesis a good beating?

Qin He had initially said it was either work with him or be killed by him. If Huang Yulong were to foolishly turn and head towards the castle, Qin He would probably snap its neck immediately.

"Alright, I'll go with you then. But let me make this clear, I don't have a team. I just want to give those bronze-scaled dogs a good thrashing, so don't get any ideas!"

Just like with the three-headed blue dragon earlier, Huang Yulong also emphasized the value of his cooperation.

Qin He laughed it off; even someone as eccentric as Huang Yulong couldn't be too bad off if he could spend a long time on Secret Dragon Island.

At least it understands the concept of division of labor and cooperation.

"Alright, we're going to do a large raid now. We need to kill fifty Thunder Wolf Dragons and a large 'Golden Thunder Queen'."

When Qin He announced the mission, Huang Yulong's bright yellow eyes widened as if it had heard some big news.

But then it looked at Qin He and Zhong Liuxiu, wondering if these two dragon prodigies could actually wear down the Thunder Wolf Dragon by using their flying maneuvers or other techniques.

Anyway, I'll go check it out myself. Maybe I can even get some Mystic Dragon Coins.

Qin He, Zhong Liuxiu, Huang Yulong, and the adult white dragon who had previously agreed to join hunted together, while Juan Ce Long occasionally helped out from the sidelines.

It's not that it was slacking off; it's just that the Scroll Dragon's constitution was truly pitiful. Qin He could only slowly weaken some of the dragons he encountered until they were almost dead before letting the Scroll Dragon, as the mistress, finish them off.

Subsequently, Qin He and his dragon companions arrived at Spirit Peak Valley, the dwelling place of the Thunder Wolf Dragons. Zhuang Daihua and Qin Lan also arrived to join them after receiving the signal…

"Phew... I'm exhausted!"

Although she had transformed into a purple dragon, Zhuang Daihua was still one of the more delicate types among the purple dragons. The high-intensity journey she had just completed was still taking its toll on her.

Seeing that Qin He actually had adult Iron Dragon and Purple Dragon as allies, Huang Yulong tilted his head, realizing that this battle against the Thunder Wolf Dragon was going to be quite a fight.

Although the Zinogre has foldable claws and a symbiotic relationship with the Thunderbug that can be charged at any time, its physical attributes are among the best of the Fanged Wyverns.

But in the end, it was still a toothed dragon that couldn't speak and wasn't particularly intelligent.

If it were a gliding grizzly dragon, it would probably be quite troublesome.

However, Zinogre's few anti-air attacks are its electric discharge and Thunderbugs. A single Dragon's Might will wipe out the Thunderbugs, either causing them to flee or become stunned. In terms of clearing the field, Dragons are no less effective than Elder Dragons.

This was even without Qin He and his group being immune to lightning damage. Imagine if a group of adult blue or bronze dragons came; they could withstand the melee attacks of the Thunder Wolf Dragons and beat them all down.

The Thunder Wolf Dragon's proud super-charged state can't even kill a Blue Dragon hatchling—of course, if the current causes an explosion that blows the hatchling away, it would still pose a certain threat.

Just because it can't be killed by electricity doesn't mean it can't be beaten to death. If a blue dragon really thinks it can take on a whole group of thunder wolves by itself, then it's like an old elf entering a green dragon's den—it's asking for trouble.

……

"Commander, those damned Thunder Wolf Dragons have already entered the valley. They dare not come out, and now they await your instructions. Just give the order—"

An adult blue dragon reported the situation to its ancestral blue dragon leader, who had advanced to adulthood. The ancestral blue dragon nodded in satisfaction.

"Keep an eye on Lingfeng. Don't let any Thunder Wolf Dragon escape, but don't hunt them actively either. Especially the most valuable one, the Golden Thunder Princess, don't make any rash moves."

"Unless those two are outmatched, or there are any who manage to escape, none of you should make a move."

The blue dragon leader had already spotted Qin He and his growing force. Now it was Qin He's turn; there was no need for it to go down and steal the prey.

……

Golden Thunder Queen is a form typically attained only by the queen of a large Thunder Wolf Dragon clan. This type of Thunder Wolf Dragon, with its entirely golden body, can attract an enormous number of Thunderbugs.

For Zinogre, the fully charged state they activate is merely a normal state for hunting and drinking. As the king, it also possesses a "true charged state" that goes beyond the supercharged state.

However, for Qin He, who was well-versed in the weaknesses of these creatures, this task was not too difficult.

The Thunder Wolf Dragon is used to store electrical energy and to support the Thunderbugs in attacks. After intimidating the enemy with its dragon might, a single fan-shaped burst of fire breath is enough to burn them almost to ashes.

Even if a Thunderbug can survive the dust breath of a fire dragon or other monsters, it doesn't mean it can withstand the breath of a true dragon from another system.

As expected, upon entering the Spirit Peak, Qin He immediately encountered seven Thunder Wolf Dragons. With his Dragon Emperor's majesty, he successfully intimidated the Fanged Dragons before him.

The lightning insects, resembling blue fireflies, were also shaken off by the Dragon Emperor's majesty, falling to the ground with crackling sounds of electricity.

This is a sign of energy imbalance in the Thunderflies. Qin He directly cut off the Thunderflies' supply, so the Thunderwolf Dragon could only rely on the energy remaining in its body to attack.

Ordinary Zinogres don't have the ability to generate super electricity anytime, anywhere like Golden Rathian.

Their shoulder shells, containing a layer of fat, can convert natural energy within their bodies to generate static electricity.

The silver hair on its chest can store and amplify the electricity generated by the body's natural energy. As for the blue-green scales on its body, they serve to insulate against electrical energy, preventing it from backfiring on the body.

The electric current that a Zinogre can generate is not very strong, relying solely on its carapace and fur. Moreover, converting natural energy requires a considerable amount of physical exertion, which is why they need to live in symbiosis with Thunderbugs.

When a large number of Thunderbugs gather around its body, the Zinogre releases its own electricity, activating the Thunderbugs. The activated Thunderbugs then release a massive amount of electricity, which is fed back to the Zinogre.
