Dragon Tamer - Chapter 422

Chapter 422: Chapter 424 Lizard Demon Enters the City
A cacophony of rooster crows and dog barks filled the air, while the householders in the unlit courtyards were still unaware of what had transpired.

Suddenly, dazzling beams of light rained down from above—the shadows of their radiance, like silvery snow, fluttering down—and the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon was now hovering above the farmer’s home.

The family, wrapped in their coats and somewhat bewildered, opened the door only to be shocked by the sight of a ferocious, ugly monster reminiscent of a malevolent spirit right in their courtyard.

It was gnawing on a hen, ripping the flesh raw, its pair of green eyes oozing venomous hunger as it stared at the farmer who had opened the door.

Clearly, a live hen was merely an appetizer, and this living human was the real feast for the evil spirit!

Azure light, like spears, plummeted from the sky, piercing directly through the Hungry Marsh Ghost’s body with deadly precision.

Just as the Hungry Marsh Ghost was about to pounce, its eagerly clawing hands desperate to tear open the man’s chest and feast on his entrails, Zhu Minglang swiftly foreseen and averted the calamity.

Pinned by the azure Light Spear, the Hungry Marsh Ghost did not die immediately; it could wilt like sludge, and quickly, the ghost turned into a pool of mud, squirming towards the distant drainage ditch outside the house.

The Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon dove down, flames blazing upon it like wildfire.

Skimming just above the ground, the azure light flame immediately spread over the land outside the house, and even the muddy ditches were ignited with this azure searing fire!

The Hungry Marsh Ghost, transformed into a mire, had nowhere to hide and let out shrill, monkey-like screams from within the ditch.

The Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon unleashed another Spell, spewing a ball of light from its mouth. The moment it touched the ground and the ditch, the ball erupted in a burst of brilliance. The terrifying radiance, as lethal as any weapon, chopped the Hungry Marsh Ghost to pieces!

Atop the city wall, an elderly official gaped in astonishment.

After witnessing the total extermination of the Hungry Marsh Ghost, the elderly official turned back, looking at Zhu Minglang with a hint of disbelief, and remarked, “Dragon Master, your strength is remarkable. The Hungry Marsh Ghost is the foremost of the five great calamities of Yellow Leaf City! The effort it usually takes us to eradicate just one is immense!”

“A few thousand years of Cultivation Base indeed make it extremely dangerous for you,” Zhu Minglang said.

“Alas, why has our Yellow Leaf City come to such a state… Without your High Court’s arrival, our town would have become mere feed for those Lizard Water Monsters,” the elderly official sighed deeply.

“We’ll do our best. However, I do hope that you can organize the citizens as soon as possible and use your previous methods to scare off those little lizard demons,” Zhu Minglang seriously instructed.

Zhu Minglang was not worried about demon monsters of high Cultivation Base.

Monsters like the Hungry Marsh Ghost, who believed their two thousand years of cultivation allowed them to brazenly glide by right in front of him, seeking a gluttonous banquet within the city, were unaware that Zhu Minglang had the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon at his disposal, a natural foil to such high-level Demon Spirits.

However, the Hungry Marsh Ghost effectively scouted ahead for other Lizard Water Demon Spirits. Witnessing this scene, they would undoubtedly become much more cautious and try their best to steer clear of the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon.

Their goal was to devour humans, not to engage in a fight to the death with Dragon Shepherds. That was precisely what made defending the city so challenging; ensuring the complete safety of everyone within the city was nearly impossible.

…

“Gurgle, gurgle~~~~~~~~~~~~~~”

The number of Lizard Water Monsters was immense, swarming out as if their entire nest had been disturbed. The lights of the watchtowers throughout Yellow Leaf City were swiftly lit, revealing the fire pits burning fiercely.

That was the signal of the Lizard Water Monsters’ assault.

At the city gate entrance, fire pits had also begun to blaze, casting a glow on the faces of the robust townspeople gathered by the elderly official.

These individuals had been summoned from within the city—strong and healthy, they were equipped with gear that turned them into makeshift militiamen, though it was evident that each was tense and gripped with panic.

Over twenty people were facing off against a Lizard Water Monster that climbed walls at an alarmingly fast pace.

They used rope snares to bind the legs of the Lizard Water Monster, and even with a dozen men pulling simultaneously, they could only just barely drag it and slow its rampant progress.

Others, armed with long spears, stabbed fiercely at the back of the Lizard Water Monster, but it was as if they were poking into hard soil, only wounding its flesh and unable to inflict a fatal injury.

Its limbs bound, the bulging eyes of the Lizard Water Monster suddenly began to move.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

It was using Demon Art!

Suddenly, on both sides of the house, the water-filled buckets burst, and a dozen buckets tipped over at once, creating a wave that knocked those who were pulling on the limbs of the Lizard Water Monster off their feet.

The strong men who had been gripping the ropes fell to the ground, only to be dragged back by the powerful Lizard Water Monster. The others hurriedly let go, but one robust young man got his legs tangled in the rope and was being dragged under the Monster’s claws!

Everyone reacted with shock, nearly scattering in panic.

In comparison to this Demon Spirit, their strength was far too insignificant.

“Ssssssss~~~~~~”

A deep growl emanated from the city gate as a Little Flood Dragon slid down the wall and quickly pounced on the Lizard Water Monster that had slipped from its snare, biting tightly onto its neck!

Blood flowed, and the Lizard Water Monster struggled fiercely, its claws flailing wildly against the body of the Little Flood Dragon, but the dragon wouldn’t let go…

“What are you waiting for, grab the ropes!” someone shouted.

The strong men scrambled to pick up the ropes and pulled hard in opposite directions.

The Lizard Water Monster couldn’t move its limbs, and the Little Flood Dragon’s teeth had pierced deep into its blood vessels.

Finally, the Little Flood Dragon tore open the Lizard Water Monster’s throat, blood gushed, and after a few agonized thrashing, it completely lost its life.

“Well done, little guy, you join them in dealing with the ones that slip through,” Zhu Minglang’s voice came from atop the city wall.

The Little Wild Jiao straightened up, looking earnestly at Zhu Minglang illuminated by the light of a brazier, and nodded seriously.

…

At the city gate, the originally dry hard earth was covered with wave after wave of muddy deluge.

It was the work of hundreds of Lizard Water Monsters casting Sorcery together, turning the area by the city gate into a muddy marsh, through which they could directly swim over.

Many hunters were on the city wall, holding their bows and arrows and shooting at the Lizard Water Monsters on the ground.

Initially, a few Lizard Water Monsters that had come to scout were shot dead, and the hunters were thrilled, but as the marsh spread, their bows and arrows became almost ineffective. The layer of mud protected the Lizard Water Monsters, and the arrows couldn’t hurt them.

“Leave it to me,” Zhu Minglang said to the hunters.

The hunters had done their best.

He held out his palm and called forth Heiya.

The Little Black Dragon descended from the heights, having grown to over four meters in length, and landed heavily in the marsh, blasting the mud apart and flinging four or five Lizard Water Monsters into the air!
