Chapter 216, Yanlong
Qingshi thought he was done, so he waved his hand and collected the Xuanhu and prepared to go back.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the Xuanhu disappeared, there was a sudden violent vibration on the ground. Qingshi was startled, and quickly activated Xuanyuan Armor to fly to the huge spiritual stone vein pillar, looking at the ground warily.
The vibrations on the ground came from the large pit containing the spherical array disk, and Qingshi keenly felt that something terrible was triggered below.
It seems that he took the Xuanhu, and the spherical array disk followed the Xuanhu into the strange space of the storage ring. Something under the big pit couldn't sense the spherical array disk, so it woke up.
When Qingshi cracked the round-covered magic circle in the pit, he didn't understand what danger it would bring if the magic circle was triggered. At that time, he cracked the magic circle perfectly, so it was not triggered. But now, he has taken away the spherical array and finally triggered it.
Qingshi sensed something was wrong, and he wanted to immediately turn around and fly upwards out of the cave, but in this case, the massive amount of spiritual stones and amethyst stones in the cave would have to be given up. Therefore, Qingshi was not in a hurry to leave, but wanted to see what he had provoked.
There was another vibration in the ground, and then, with a loud bang, the big pit and the surrounding ground exploded. Amidst the huge air waves and mud and rocks flying all over the sky, a huge thing rushed out of the pit and jumped onto the ground.
Qingshi could clearly see that it was a dragon, a giant flame dragon that was more than ten feet long.
After the flame dragon jumped to the ground, it raised its head to the sky and let out a violent roar. The sound wave vibrated and echoed in the cave for a long time.
Qingshi was calm and looked carefully. He found that the Yanlong looked a little dazed and his body was a little unstable. There was actually a metal cage on its head.
When Qingshi saw the cage, he immediately knew it was a sensing device. Qingshi guessed that this Flame Dragon was most likely enchanted by humans and had been sleeping and dormant underground for many years. Once the spherical formation was destroyed by an outside invader, it would be awakened.
Qingshi made an instant decision, gritted his teeth and took out the Moon Soul Sword in his hand. Taking a deep breath, Qingshi's mental power exploded, activating the speed blessing of Xuanyuan Armor, Wind Chasing Boots and Tianfeng Jade Belt. At the same time, he displayed the wings of wind and thunder, and flew toward the Flame Dragon like a phantom.
Qingshi knew that the only way to get the spirit stone and amethyst stone was to kill the flame dragon. Since you want to kill it, it is naturally the best choice to do it while it has just woken up and is still in a daze.
In just a split second, Qingshi arrived in front of Yan Long, and the Moon Soul Sword used the Heavenly Breaking Style of Mingyue Sword Technique. With a swish of the sword, a sharp sword energy flew out three feet, and accurately struck Yan Long's heart.
As expected by Qingshi, the Yanlong reacted a little slowly and was hit by the sword energy. But what Qingshi didn't expect was that when the Yanlong was hit by the sword, the scales at the heart were shattered and the skin was torn open. However, it was not cut off by the infuriating energy that invaded the body and died. Instead, it roared and waved its huge front paws. Catch the bluestone.
what's the situation? Qingshi was inexplicably surprised.
Qingshi still has a certain understanding of Yanlong. The academy has courses introducing various spiritual beasts, and Qingshi has naturally learned it. He knew that the best way to deal with the Flame Dragon was to stab its heart.
The scales of the Flame Dragon are very hard, and the scales at its heart are especially hard. However, the defense-breaking effect of the Bluestone Sky Breaking Style is very overbearing. Even the hardest scales of the Flame Dragon can be broken by one blow.
However, the sharp sword cut through the scales and the true energy invaded his body but did not kill the flame dragon or even injure it. This was far beyond Qingshi's expectations.
The sharp dragon claws had already struck with strong wind, and Qingshi had no time to think and ducked away. Just as he dodged the dragon's claw, another faster wind struck from behind. Qingshi knew it was the blow from the Flame Dragon's seven-foot-long tail. It was impossible to resist, Qingshi could only dodge again. Fortunately, his body and martial arts were excellent, and he was able to avoid this fatal blow.
Yanlong is a natural seventh-level spiritual beast, and its combat power is equivalent to that of a high-level human immortal monk. The current Qingshi is definitely no match for it. Qingshi rashly launched a sneak attack, which was extremely bold. However, although the attack hit, it was not fatal for some reason. How could Qingshi dare to fight head-on? He dodged and fled as fast as he could.
Although Qingshi's body is fast, Yanlong's speed is also fast. It runs upright with its two thick hind limbs, waving its two forelimbs and constantly grabs Qingshi. Qingshi dodged left and right, trying to fly away from its attack range, but the flame dragon was more than ten feet long, and every step it took was no less than ten feet. After more than ten steps, Qingshi was pulled closer by it.
After Yanlong approached Qingshi, he opened his huge mouth and bit into Qingshi. Qingshi quickly got out of the way, suddenly rolled back, turned around and flew in the opposite direction.
Sure enough, the Flame Dragon had a huge body and turned around slowly. Qingshi turned back and was immediately out of the attack range of its claws and teeth. But Yanlong also has a powerful weapon, and that is its tail. Its long tail is thick at the base and sharp at the end, like a smart iron whip that is whipping towards the bluestone again.
Qingshi had personally seen the Yanlong use its tail to cut two giant birds into four pieces, so he naturally kept an eye on it. He dodged again and barely managed to avoid the dragon's tail attack. Yanlong roared angrily, turned around and chased Qingshi.
Qingshi successfully opened the distance between him and the Yanlong. As his thoughts moved, two flying swords, Yueying and Xiufeng, appeared instantly and stabbed at the Yanlong chasing after him. The target was pointed directly at the wound in its heart.
Yanlong didn't care about these two small flying swords at all. Its speed did not slow down and its body did not dodge. It just blocked one of its front paws in front of its chest. The two flying swords struck Yanlong's forelimbs almost at the same time. With two soft clang sounds, Yueying and Xiu Feng were thrown away, and where the Yanlong struck the sword, only two white spots appeared on the dragon's scales.
impossible! Qingshi secretly shouted in his heart.
When Qingshi now controls the flying sword, he no longer needs to hold the sword hand for guidance. The control of the flying sword is completely controlled by his mental power, and he can do whatever he wants, like an arm. Its power also increased exponentially.
Although the defense-breaking power of the flying sword is not as good as the Tianpo style of Mingyue Sword Technique, Qingshi never believes that it cannot even pierce the skin of a flame dragon. However, with the facts in front of him, Qingshi couldn't help but believe it.
Just now, the sharp sword cut through the dragon's scales and the true energy invaded the dragon's body, but it was unable to cause harm to the Yanlong. This made Qingshi confused; now, the two flying swords could not pierce the skin of the Yanlong, which made Qingshi understand. , this Flame Dragon is probably more than just a seventh-level spiritual beast.
Turned into a demon?
Probably not. Spiritual beasts will develop spiritual intelligence after they turn into monsters. If this flame dragon turns into a monster, then the first thing it will do after waking up is probably not to chase down Qingshi, the benefactor who awakened it, but to destroy it. The magic circle set up by the enemy to imprison him even dug his grave.
However, Qingshi thought of Huiyan again. Could it be that this flame dragon also had some kind of oath with the owner of the god's tomb, to protect his tomb from infringement for tens of thousands of years?
Qingshi thought while fighting. He continued to dodge Yanlong's attacks, and at the same time controlled two flying swords to counterattack. Since the flying swords could not penetrate Yanlong's armor, Qingshi controlled them to stab Yanlong's eyes. The Yanlong's eyes were as big as a washbasin, so it was quite a big target.
This move worked as expected. Yanlong did not dare to let the flying sword pierce his eyes, so he could only keep waving his two forelimbs to block it. Qingshi's attacks were immediately reduced. Qingshi regained his composure and began to fly in circles around the Lingshi Vein Pillar to block the Flame Dragon's attack and wait for an opportunity to counterattack.
After circling around the giant spiritual stone pillar for several times, Qingshi was surprised to find that this flame dragon had definitely not transformed into a demon, because it only knew how to follow Qingshi in clumsy circles, and had no idea of using volleys or other more flexible ways to fight. With such an IQ, Not only does it not look like a demon has become intelligent, but it looks like a puppet with no intelligence at all.
Is this a puppet flame dragon?
Yes, when he thought about how it had been dormant underground for thousands of years, when he thought about how the true energy invaded its heart but was unable to cause harm, when he thought about how flying swords could not penetrate its scales, Qingshi suddenly understood. This flame dragon is probably a puppet.
Once he figured this out, Qingshi immediately changed his tactics.
Qingshi suddenly accelerated and flew in a big circle behind Yanlong. As expected, Yanlong was as stupid as the puppet. It didn't know to turn around and intercept Qingshi, but continued to circle awkwardly around the giant spiritual stone pillar in an attempt to catch up with Qingshi.
Qingshi shouted violently, and used the Moon Soul Sword in his hand to execute the Mingyue Sword Technique killing style, slashing at the Yanlong with one sword. Seeing that the sword energy was about to hit the back of Yanlong's head, Yanlong reacted and lowered his head. You may say that Yanlong was stupid or not, but his response to the attack was definitely not slow, and his movements were even faster. Like lightning, Qingshi's sword missed.
Yanlong dodged Qingshi's sword moves and turned around to fight. Qingshi didn't stop, slashing and stabbing with seven swords in a row, attacking Yanlong's head, face and eyes. Dao killing style is Qingshi's ultimate killing move. Once the move is executed, it is bound to kill without stopping.
Faced with Qingshi's stormy killing move, Yanlong had to avoid it temporarily. It raised its two forelimbs to protect its eyes and vital points, trying its best to resist and avoid Qingshi's sharp sword.
How powerful the Dao Killing Style was. Even though Yanlong defended with all his strength, Qingshi slashed and stabbed seven or seventy-nine times in a row, and Yanlong was still hit three times.
Of these three moves, two hit the Yanlong's head and face. The dragon's scales were broken and even fell off a few pieces. However, the Daosha style was not as good as the Tianpo style in breaking the defense, so it did not penetrate the dragon armor, and naturally it did not. Cause real harm.
With the other sword, Qingshi struck the metal cage on Yanlong's head end-to-end. This was Qingshi's deliberate move, in order to destroy what he thought was a telepathic weapon.
Qingshi's goal was achieved. The metal cage was actually not as hard as the flame dragon's scales. Qingshi chopped it into several pieces with a single sword strike. However, Qingshi's strategy did not work, and Yanlong did not stop fighting because of the destruction of the cage.
Although the Dao killing style was powerful, it did slash Yanlong several times, but Yanlong relied on the toughness of his scales to withstand Qingshi's ultimate killing move.
Qingshi's true energy was greatly consumed, and after seven, seven and forty-nine strikes, he could no longer continue. Seeing that his strategy was ineffective, Qingshi had no choice but to feint with his sword, turn around and fly around the spiritual stone pillar again.
Yanlong slowed down and chased Qingshi around the spiritual stone pillar again.
Although Qingshi's round of Tao-killing attacks didn't work, it was not completely in vain. He could now confirm that the Flame Dragon was indeed a puppet.
Because just now, while Qingshi was attacking continuously, he was also carefully observing the Yanlong. He discovered that the gas ejected from the Yanlong's giant mouth was a mixture of evil spirit and spiritual energy. This clearly showed that it was not a living creature, but a living thing. Puppet no doubt.
In addition, Qingshi also discovered that there was no flesh and blood under the scales of Yanlong's heart where he had cut it, only the steel and iron bones that were vaguely visible and shining with metallic luster.
Obviously, this is a puppet with a metal skeleton and a real flame dragon leather armor. Even the outer leather armor has been specially treated. Its scales and skin are obviously tougher than those of the True Flame Dragon.
Qingshi also made some misjudgments. Although the cage was a sensing weapon, it was probably used to sense the array ball. It was not controlled by the array ball. It was just that the array ball was destroyed by Qingshi. Finally, he was triggered and awakened the Flame Dragon. The bluestone destroyed it, but it did not prevent Yanlong from continuing to attack.
Ordinary puppets have their sensing devices installed in their bodies. There is only one possibility for this puppet Yanlong to install a sensing device on its head, that is, there is a more important sensing device in its body, one installed on its head. One inside the body is installed outside the body to prevent them from interfering with each other.
So what about the array that controls Yanlong? Where is it located? The cave is so vast that if it were buried underground somewhere, it would be difficult to find.
While Qingshi was circling to avoid the Yanlong's attack, he was observing and thinking nervously. Suddenly, Qingshi suddenly understood and couldn't help laughing.
This flame dragon is so huge that no matter how large the formation disk is, it can fit into its body!
It turns out that this puppet flame dragon not only guards the control array of the puppet army, but also has its own control array installed in its own body and protected by itself. If it weren't for the fear of the formation disks interfering with each other, the creator of this puppet would probably have installed both formation disks in its body.
Yes, that must be the case, Qingshi firmly believes in his judgment.
