The Mighty Dragons Are Dead - Chapter 331

Chapter 331: Chapter 0329: The Fragrant Smell of Snake Meat Wafts Over (First Update)

Marcus’s arrows were not ordinary arrows.

They were improved Falcon Feather Arrows and Falcon Tail Arrows, with Iron Wood Thorns as the shaft and Dragon Bone as the arrowhead, balanced with the feathers of the Magical Beast Windfalcon.

The best set of arrows in Fresh Flower Town.

He pulled out two arrows wrapped with Soul Disturbing Agents, aiming at one of Dulu Miqita’s immature snake heads—a mature snake head’s mental strength must be strong, with better resistance; an immature snake head, however, was the best target for disruption. A single Soul Disturbing Agent would definitely drive it insane.

Hitting the writhing snake head was difficult, but fortunately, he had eight good arrows to try with.

Pff!

Seizing the right moment, he released the bowstring, and the arrow, guided by Dou Qi, shot towards an immature snake head.

Unfortunately, these two arrows merely grazed past the snake head, missing their target. But he remained calm and unhurried, as though he were facing an ordinary beast instead of an Intermediate Sea Monster. For the time being, Dulu Miqita posed little threat to him.

Because Douson had already pounced.

This increasingly mature Intermediate Magical Beast Blizzard Beast, long trained by Liszt, had developed intelligence far beyond that of ordinary magical beasts. It understood the essence of hit-and-run tactics, enemy advance I retreat, slippery positioning, and would use Multiple Stone Spikes whenever there was a chance.

Not only did it put Dulu Miqita in a difficult position, but it also continuously attracted Dulu Miqita’s intermittent magical firepower.

A barrage of Water Arrows fired at the hill, sending mud flying everywhere.

A swing of the Blade of Water, but what it struck was only Douson’s afterimage.

A snake and a dog managed to come to a temporary standoff, and it even looked as if Douson had the upper hand. As soon as Dulu Miqita showed the slightest sign of recoil, Douson would rush up and use Multiple Stone Spikes to block its movements; whenever Dulu Miqita unleashed magic in retaliation, Douson would crazily jump about and flee.

It was quite the enhanced version of a rural pastime—dog fighting a water snake.

When attacked, a snake would first coil itself up in defense rather than turn and flee, and Dulu Miqita was no different. But a coiled-up Dulu Miqita was a perfect living target for Douson’s stone spikes. Moreover, the disruption from nets, silk lines, and arrows prevented it from successfully casting a Water Wave Shield.

Water Wave Shield is a defensive magic that summons a giant shield made of water, which condenses like waves over the surface of the body, able to dissolve a great deal of attacks.

Without its Water Wave Shield, the strength of the juvenile Six-Headed King Sea Serpent was greatly reduced.

Pff!

Just as its attention was drawn by Douson, two more arrows shot out, accurately hitting one of the immature snake heads, even striking it in the eye area.

The Soul Disturbing Agents were injected instantly, and in the next moment, that snake head started thrashing wildly, lashing about like a whip, and even took a fierce bite at the adjacent snake head.

Seizing such an opportunity, Marcus fired two arrows at once, successfully hitting another of Dulu Miqita’s immature snake heads.

He had two arrows left and boldly fired two more, this time targeting mature snake heads.

Unfortunately, they missed their mark due to the chaotic twisting of the snake heads, shooting into the air instead.

Two snake heads fell into confusion, frenziedly tearing at the mature snake heads, causing the four mature snake heads to panic. They immediately stopped coiling, preparing to leave. However, Liszt certainly wouldn’t let such an opportunity slip by and directed Douson to attack again, tangling intensely with it.

Elsewhere.

The Apprentice Knight responsible for smelting Dragon Beast bones had already raised a blazing fire, crackling as it smelted the Dragon Beast bones. In a moment, a formidable Dragon Might began to rise from the flames, radiating in all directions.

The Dragon Might was fierce. Dulu Miqita, which had been frantically and fearfully fleeing, was so terrified that it fell flat.

Unable to move.

But unexpectedly, Douson also shook in fear, not daring to attack, wasting a prime opportunity. The knights were well-prepared, some continuing to kick up dust, others to dump soil, trying to speed up the solidification of this shallow river section and freeze Dulu Miqita in place.

From a distance, the scent of the simmering Serpent Blood Fruit also began to drift over.

It seemed that this scent stimulated the two still-crazed immature snake heads, causing them to stir into action again, biting the four mature snake heads until they were miserable, and rendering them completely unable to cast any magic.

“Get up, Douson! Get it done!” Liszt kicked the trembling Douson, this unreliable mongrel. “Douson, Multiple Stone Spikes!”

Douson was kicked awake, still shaking, but managed to release a set of Rock Spikes, fiercely stabbing into Dulu Miqita, nailing it in place.

The sludge mixed with rubber began to harden, the tangled ship nets, and silk threads also tightened more and more.

Liszt knew the opportunity had come and immediately roared, “Marcus, get ready!”

After speaking, he immediately threw out a Fire Dragon Jar.

Marcus’s ordinary arrows shot the Fire Dragon Jar flying in mid-air, shattering it with one shot; Liszt kept throwing Fire Dragon Jars, and he continued shooting arrows. In the short time when Dragon Might burst forth, all twelve Fire Dragon Jars exploded in mid-air, and the Volcanic Glass Vessels Brad painstakingly crafted were smashed to pieces.

There was no heartache. The Eye of Magic was cast.

Liszt saw the Fire Dragon Magic Power merge together, forming a huge Magical Grand Fire Dragon that dived towards Dulu Miqita, which was starting to recover.

Boom!

Passing through it, the severely wounded Dulu Miqita screamed a piercing “hiss,” its body bouncing like a rubber band, blood spilling everywhere, leaping out of the mud pit, and escaping into the stone forest.

“All of you, fall back, retreat beyond forty meters!” Only Liszt could see the Magical Grand Fire Dragon, so the burden of stopping Dulu Miqita could only be carried by him and Douson.

Pointing in the direction Dulu Miqita was fleeing to, he commanded: “Douson, Multiple Stone Spikes!”

The Dragon Might came and went quickly, Douson had already regained his composure and upon Liszt’s command, opened his mouth and released Multiple Stone Spikes, fiercely stabbing into Dulu Miqita, stopping its escape. This delay allowed the Magical Grand Fire Dragon to dive again, fiercely searing Dulu Miqita.

The two crazed snake heads twisted wildly, not sure if they were attracted by the scent of the Serpent Blood Fruit, causing havoc to its thoughts.

This made Dulu Miqita twitch a few times, unable even to run away.

Phut!

Multiple Stone Spikes were released again.

Boom!

The Magical Grand Fire Dragon dived again, and the range of forty meters had become the desperate distance for Dulu Miqita; the disruption of the Soul Disturbing Agent, the continuously bleeding wounds, and the Stone Spikes stuck in its body—perhaps even including the arrows tainted with bee venom—were all claiming its life.

When the Magical Grand Fire Dragon dived for the fourth time.

Dulu Miqita’s tightly stretched four snake heads finally went limp, life rapidly slipping away, magic power in its body slowly dissipating.

A faint scent of snake meat began to spread.

Liszt, who had been observing using the Eye of Magic, made a quick decision, directing Douson to charge forward: “Douson, quick, bite its tail and drag it away!”

Douson, already accustomed to Liszt’s complex commands, lunged forward, bit into Dulu Miqita’s snake tail, and started dragging it outside.

“Paris, you too, come and help drag it!”

Taking advantage of the interval in which the Magical Grand Fire Dragon flew away, the two of them with one dog successfully dragged the dying Dulu Miqita beyond forty meters.

“My lord! The Six-Headed King Sea Serpent isn’t dead yet, be careful!” Marcus circled around and ran over, saw Liszt personally dragging Dulu Miqita, and couldn’t help but shout.

“It’s not going to live, Teacher Marcus. You all go over there and get the Serpent Blood Tree Plant Pot I prepared. I’m going to use the serpent blood to nourish them!”

Although the blood of an Intermediate Sea Monster could certainly be sold for money, in view of the Smoke Mission reward hint, he still thought it was more worthwhile to use the serpent blood to cultivate Sprite Bugs.

Because the reward was “an unknown number of Sprite Bugs,” maybe—just maybe—he could cultivate more than one Serpent Blood Fruit Sprite Bug!

Sprite Bugs, that’s the biggest gain of this battle!
