However, her honest appearance made the middle-aged man look disappointed.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end just sighed.
"This is the last time our patrol will help you. If you still can't tame the dragon, you will..."
Renia lowered her head so that no one could see her expression: "I know this is the fate of a witch. I am ready to devote myself to the Dragon God at any time."
Her voice was very calm, and no emotion could be heard.
The middle-aged man was silent.
“… I think the miko is also tired. There is a stream ahead, and the darukas also need to drink water. Let’s take a rest there.”
A gentle-looking middle-aged woman nearby spoke up.
"It's strange. We've been searching for so long, but we haven't seen a single dragon. Long-tailed dragons, red-scaled dragons, bearded dragons... they should all be in this area."
Renia spread her hands innocently and said, "Perhaps they were all called by the Dragon God to go to the Roaring Waterfall for a family dinner?"
…
A group of more than ten people came to the stream to rest.
Renia held a puppy-like Daruka in her arms and walked to the stream to wash her face.
The clear stream with the bottom visible keeps flowing downwards, and a few small fish are hiding in the cracks between the rocks at the bottom of the stream.
Renia put the puppy aside and let it drink water on its own, while she squatted down.
Her pretty face was reflected on the water surface. She scooped up a handful of stream water and soaked her face with it.
The cool and comfortable feeling made her feel a little refreshed, and the irritability in her heart also dissipated a lot.
After wiping the water off her face, Renia opened her eyes.
At this moment, she suddenly discovered that there seemed to be something extra in the reflection of the clear water.
Above her head in the water...it seemed as if there was a tiny person sitting on her head, swinging his little feet.
Renia was stunned: "What?"
…
On a certain mountain peak, Xue Jing was hiding behind a huge rock.
At this moment, he looked a little disheveled. His black tactical suit was torn all over, with the holes showing signs of being burnt and twisted.
Her medium-long black hair curled slightly as if it had been lit by fire.
Most of the exposed skin was red, and even blisters appeared in some places.
He pushed his glasses up on his nose, poked his head slightly out from behind the big rock, and looked up at the sky.
A dragon with a red body, flames burning on its scales, more than ten meters long, wings on its back, and looking like the giant dragon in Western legends, was circling in the sky.
"It's a bit difficult. The fire this dragon spits out is too hot... It seems to have some strange magical properties. The armor formed by the shadow flame was melted in an instant."
Xue Jing looked thoughtful.
"Should we fight it at range? Or..."
He opened the panel and took a look.
[Possessing Divinity: 1249]
After the strange fish dragon in the lake, he killed two more dragons, each one more difficult than the last.
The fire dragon we encountered now was the third one, and its location was closer to the center than that strange ichthyosaur.
Its combat power is also proportional to its position, far exceeding that of the strange fish dragon species. After the fight started, Xue Jing was accidentally sprayed with a breath of dragon flame, and his Shadow Flame Armor was directly melted.
If he hadn't activated his twin speeds in time and run fast enough to escape from the dragon's breath attack range in time, he would have had more than just these minor burns on his body.
"The current divinity is enough to upgrade Shadow Flame to Lv6."
"Do you want to be promoted?" Xue Jing hesitated.
He actually wants to use this divinity to elevate [Fitness].
However, the third condition for fitness sublimation has not yet been met, so it cannot be sublimated.
"This fire dragon is not impossible to deal with with my current strength, but it would be safer if Shadow Flame were to level up again."
"Let's upgrade the Shadow Flame first. We need to use our divinity when necessary, and then we can earn more later. Anyway, there are still many dragon species that have not been killed."
Xue Jing thought about it and clicked the upgrade button on [Shadow Flame].
[Shadow Flame Lv6 (Divinity required for upgrading: 49/2000)]
Above the sky.
The fire dragon kept circling, scanning the surroundings with its pair of vertical pupils, eyes filled with anger, looking for the annoying little bug.
It didn't have much patience and after searching for a while, it gave up this inefficient approach.
Then, its mouth began to emit a faint flame-like glow.
"roar!!"
Along with the sound of dragon roar, a thick pillar of flames spewed out from its mouth and swept across the ground.
“Boom boom boom—”
Wherever the flaming dragon's breath passed, rocks melted and trees evaporated, just like an eraser scratching a piece of paper full of words, plowing a huge gully on the mountain.
Dragon's breath was spit out one after another, destroying the entire mountain into a mess, with magma formed by melted rocks and soil everywhere.
The huge rock where Xue Jing was hiding was also melted when the dragon's breath accidentally passed by.
But he himself disappeared without a trace.
After the fire dragon plowed the entire surface of the mountain, it looked at the mountain in front of it, which was covered with magma and turned into a big red cake, and felt a little confused.
Could it be that the little bug had been accidentally burned to death by it
I can't find it anywhere.
The wings behind the fire dragon stopped flapping, controlling the biological force field, and slowly floated down to the mountain peak.
Its flaming feet grasped the magma, and it used its keen nose to sniff and capture the scent.
There really was nothing else besides the pleasant smell of coke and sulphur.
It seemed that the little bug had been melted into slag under its powerful flames.
The fire dragon snorted proudly, and two flames shot out from its nostrils.
With a flap of its huge wings, it was about to take off.
And in the blind spot that it can't notice.
A shadow was moving quietly, following its right foot on the ground and slowly climbing up its back.
Just as the fire dragon flapped its wings and took off from the ground.
In the shadow behind it, a figure was slowly rising from the shadow.
He was wearing full-body jet-black armor, with sharp bone spurs on his joints and back. The only exposed part of his body was a pair of indifferent silver-white divine eyes. He looked both ferocious and gorgeous.
The quietly burning black flames dotted the armor, as if the entire body was releasing dark air currents, like a dark knight walking out of the underworld, guarding the beautiful queen of the underworld.
"Latent Shadow..."
Xue Jing narrowed his eyes slightly.
The moment Shadow Flame reached Lv6, he instinctively learned a new way to use this Shadow Flame.
Able to hide in the shadows and move in the shadows.
"Unfortunately, it seems that because it requires the transformation of the body into a shadow, this move consumes a lot of energy, and..."
He glanced at the Shadow Flame Gauntlet on his right hand that was being repaired.
"Not immune to harm..."
"However, the concealment is maximized."
Xue Jing raised his hands above his head.
The black flames quietly gathered and burned in his hands, transforming into a pitch-black spiral spear.
After Lv6, the weapons transformed by Shadow Flame are far superior to previous ones in terms of both the refinement of the appearance and the strength of the material itself.
The silvery-white pupils turned into vertical pupils.
In Mu Guanliu's field of vision, faint "lines" and "dots" appeared on the back of the fire dragon.
Spiral indentations spread up his arms, extending to his chest and neck.
Today, his body is strong enough to withstand a tornado of thunder with three times the power.
Add to that the power of the twins, that’s six times!
"call out!!"
The spiral spear rotated, reducing the impact of air resistance to the extreme, and pierced out like a meteor, piercing the back of the fire dragon below.
The hard scales burning with flames were easily pierced, like piercing a piece of butter, and penetrated deeply into the body without any hindrance.
"roar!!"
Amidst the shrill cries of pain and dragon roars, the fire dragon began to struggle frantically, flying around in the air at high speed.
Xue Jing held the spiral spear that pierced into the fire dragon's body with both hands, grabbed the handle and twisted it a circle.
The sharp spear suddenly changed shape inside the fire dragon's body and bloomed like a lotus. Countless black thorns stretched out from the spear and pierced the inside of the fire dragon's body.
"roar!!"
A group of people from this country who were resting by the stream suddenly heard a dragon's roar that was loud enough to shake the earth.
All the accompanying Daruka immediately trembled and lay on the ground, making a gesture of absolute submission.
"Is that... the Flame Crying Dragon?"
The middle-aged man looked in surprise at the fire dragon flying and struggling in the sky.
"This is one of the strongest offspring of Lord Dragon God. What happened? It seems to be... screaming?"
The middle-aged woman next to him opened her eyes wide and said in disbelief.
Renia, who was holding a bowl of water, noticed that there seemed to be a figure standing on the back of the Flame Dragon, and it looked somewhat familiar.
"What is that...?"
She murmured somewhat doubtfully.
…
Chapter 156 Dragon Knight, Full Moon Sword Qi, Contact with Xue Jing's Mirror Man (4K)
The fire dragon struggled frantically in the sky, its body burning with flames, trying to burn Xue Jing to death or throw him off its back.
However, the Shadow Flame, which has risen to Lv6, has activated materials with a strength that is no longer comparable to before.
At this time, Xue Jing covered his entire body with armor, and the flames burning on the fire dragon's body were not as powerful as the dragon breath exhaled from its mouth.
One is stronger than before, and the other is weaker. The result is naturally different from before. The Shadow Flame Armor firmly blocks the burning of the flames, only melting at a slow speed, and can even be repaired at any time.
Xue Jing endured the burning, and several black tentacles extended from the armor on his body, bound the fire dragon, and fixed himself firmly on the fire dragon's back to prevent himself from being thrown off.
Then he held the black spiral spear that had pierced into the fire dragon's body and twisted it again.
The countless black thorns that bloomed like lotus flowers in the fire dragon's body returned to their original appearance after being twisted, and turned into black flames, exploding in the fire dragon's body.
"roar!!"
The fire dragon let out an even more tragic roar of pain, and its internal organs began to be destroyed, as if a horrible beast was gnawing at its body.
Even so, until the entire spiral spear was completely turned into black flames and consumed, the fire dragon was still alive and kicking, struggling more and more violently, with an astonishingly strong vitality.
Xue Jing was a little surprised, but his hands kept moving.
A black air current was drawn out from the shadow beneath him, ignited into black flames, and turned into reins, which were put around the fire dragon's mouth and neck.
Although he had never been exposed to the concept of "riding", Huo Long instinctively understood the humiliating meaning of Xue Jing's actions at this moment.
