Free Web NovelChapter 322: Chapter 253: Giant Dragon Invasion, Whose Territory Is This?
The Divine Halls contained job inheritances. One could obtain a job inheritance by completing related quests or accumulating enough contribution points.
Comparatively, it was easier for Adventurer Players on the Western Continent to change their class, but progressing within that class was very difficult. These classes typically lacked cultivation attributes, requiring players to constantly complete quests or search for items to advance.
In fact, opening Chaos Blind Boxes and hatching Chaos Eggs yielded different results on the Eastern and Western Continents. On the Western Continent, it was more common to obtain items with a fantasy theme.
At this stage, the Dragon Knight was arguably the top-tier class for Adventurers on the Western Continent. Obtaining the class was easy, but forming a pact with a Giant Dragon was extremely difficult.
Giant Dragons were powerful creatures, with adults designed to possess King-level Combat Power. On the Western Continent, they were proud, noble, and extremely rare beings.
The Dragon Knights currently invading Huaguo Mountain on their Giant Dragons were residents from Li Bolili’s territory.
Li Bolili possessed the A-rank Talent, [Giant Dragon Affinity], which allowed her to easily subdue Giant Dragons. For the Dragon Knights under her command, forming a pact with a Giant Dragon became incredibly simple.
Li Bolili had been fortunate enough to subdue six sub-adult Fire Dragons, allowing her to cultivate six Dragon Knights.
The six Dragon Knights weren’t powerful on their own, but they could command Giant Dragons in battle, which meant they effectively possessed high-level combat power.
"I’ll take the pier! You guys head somewhere else! This is just some player’s territory. Let’s wipe it off the map, brothers!"
A Dragon Knight player named Chen Jiu shouted out, an excited smile on his face. He mentally commanded the Giant Dragon beneath him to fly straight toward Eggshell Pier.
He was going to unleash a massacre!
When he had first arrived in this world, Chen Jiu had been timid, not daring to kill anyone. But his mindset had changed after gaining immense power. He couldn’t be bothered with pointless talk and had no inhibitions. To him, Mortals were just like ants to be crushed whenever he pleased.
Chen Jiu thought to himself. ’I love showing off my strength now, and the people I hate most are the Holy Mothers!’
The pier was crowded, so he planned to just bathe the ground in Dragon Flame and start his slaughter there.
However, just as he neared the pier, before his Giant Dragon could even breathe its Dragon Flame, he spotted an old man below. The man was shrouded in black energy, and with a flash of white light, a large number of Skeleton Soldiers appeared around him.
"Huh, a Necromancer! So what if you can summon Skeleton Soldiers? What’s it matter if you summon thousands, or even tens of thousands? What can they possibly do to my Giant Dragon?"
A sneer spread across Chen Jiu’s face, but he suddenly felt a tremor in his spirit. A pair of green eyes materialized in his mind’s eye, sending a chill down his spine.
’Is this a Spiritual Attack?’
The Player muttered to himself. In that brief moment of distraction, a laser beam suddenly strafed toward him from a distant watchtower.
The laser was an attack fired from a Laser Anti-Aircraft Cannon atop Shanhai Pass.
The Laser Anti-Aircraft Cannon had a range of 5,000 meters, its firepower blanketing the entirety of Eggshell Pier.
Nangong Jin and Wadu had previously deployed 600 Laser Anti-Aircraft Cannons throughout the territory. Of course a location as important as Eggshell Pier would be protected by Anti-Aircraft Cannons.
BZZZT! The laser sliced right through one of the Giant Dragon’s wings.
The Giant Dragon roared as its body tumbled through the air. It crashed onto the pier, shattering countless wooden planks, and Chen Jiu was thrown from its back.
Before Chen Jiu could even process what was happening, a thick scorpion tail viciously pierced through his chest and hoisted him into the air.
"Fuck..."
Chen Jiu cried out in pain, but before he could make another sound, his body was riddled with several Feathered Arrows.
Eggshell Pier was guarded by Rock Scorpion Shooters. They were the resident militia, riding Rock Giant Scorpions and equipped with General Armor and Iron-Clad Bows!
Without his Giant Dragon, Chen Jiu was just a Mortal, easily dispatched.
Meanwhile, the Giant Dragon was being swarmed by the "Skeleton Soldiers."
Yang Wanli’s eyes glowed green. With a wave of his hand, another sixteen Skeleton Soldiers materialized around him.
These "Skeleton Soldiers" were actually Wraith Soldiers. Their attacks carried an invasive nether energy, making them far more powerful than ordinary Skeleton Soldiers.
Yang Wanli could now summon sixteen Wraith Soldiers at a time, but he could do so repeatedly and in quick succession. Summoning several hundred was no difficult feat for him!
But summoning Wraith Soldiers wasn’t the only trick up Yang Wanli’s sleeve.
"Netherworld! Tower of the Dead Soul! Manifest in this world for me!"
With a great shout from Yang Wanli, the ground to his left and right swirled into vortexes of green light. From within them, two towering, grayish-green spires rapidly emerged.
They were two Towers of the Dead Soul, summoned forth by Yang Wanli. Their peaks radiated a ghastly green light as disembodied souls shot out like will-o’-the-wisps, or perhaps cannonballs. They hurtled ferociously toward the fallen Giant Dragon, and upon striking its scales, made them SIZZLE and smoke!
’So this is the Minister’s power?’
Pei Zhi watched from the side, filled with envy. He quickly turned and shouted to the militiamen beside him, "Quick! Kill that fallen monster!"
The Scorpion Shooters immediately responded, launching their attack on the Giant Dragon.
The Giant Dragon roared, its expression savage, but it was quickly surrounded.
And at that very moment, it wasn’t the only Giant Dragon to be shot down.
The other five Giant Dragons were also shot down in succession. One was even killed outright in mid-air, its Dragon Knight Player dying a gruesome death along with it.
The Laser Anti-Aircraft Cannons were incredibly powerful, making it child’s play to shoot down the massive Giant Dragons. Their only drawback was the lack of an auto-targeting system. They required manual operation, which resulted in a slight delay, preventing them from engaging the enemy at the earliest possible moment.
The downed Giant Dragons were swiftly being mopped up.
A Giant Dragon crashed into the Peach Blossom River.
Governor Wadu flew over, sirens wailing, and blasted it at close range with a Radium Light Radio beam. The shot shattered its scales and sent dragon blood flying.
The Dragon Knight on its back was stunned. Before he could react, he was obliterated by Wadu’s Radium Light Radio beam.
Over a thousand meters away, Gegeda spread its wings and unleashed its ground-laying saber, hacking a fallen Giant Dragon to pieces. The Dragon Knight atop it died a horrible death!
Elsewhere, a Giant Dragon fell into the Peach Blossom Forest. The enraged beast opened its maw and spewed Dragon Flame, incinerating the surrounding trees.
The Dragon Knight on its back drew a silver Great Sword and shouted, "So they have anti-aircraft weapons! Hmph, so what? Dragon, on my command! Bathe the ground in Dragon Flame—"
His shout was cut short as a streak of white light pierced his throat. The light then zipped through the air, changing direction to stab at the Giant Dragon’s head.
CLANG! Blood splattered.
The Giant Dragon’s Scale Armor and bones were no match for the streak of light; it pierced through them with ease.
The streak of light halted, hovering in mid-air. It was a Sword Pill.
Qin Mo approached from the distance. Though he had only been practicing the Alchemist Qi Cultivation Skill for a short time, his white hair had already turned black and his temples were bulging. The power of his Sword Pill had clearly been enhanced.
Yet another fallen Giant Dragon had also landed in the Peach Blossom Forest. It staggered to its feet and let out a furious roar.
The Dragon Knight on its back was a female Player named Liu Yuan. She, too, shouted, "Damn you! How dare you ambush us! I’ll slaughter every last one of you in this place!"
Liu Yuan quickly commanded her Giant Dragon to its feet. She pointed at a nearby waterwheel and ordered, "Calamity, charge! Burn that waterwheel down!"
"Calamity" was the name Liu Yuan had given her Giant Dragon mount. Its wings had been pierced by a Laser Cannon, leaving it temporarily unable to fly. With a ferocious expression, it scrambled to its feet and charged toward the waterwheel.
But as they neared the waterwheel, Liu Yuan saw two men in ornate robes charging toward them on two equally ornate mechanical horses. freewёbnoνel.com
The two men carried strange, long cases on their backs and had a cold, detached air about them.
"Huh, are those Soldiers? Or some kind of hatched unit? They look pretty cool, though! Calamity, go play with them for a bit!"
Liu Yuan said nonchalantly.
But in the next instant, amidst a flurry of flashing blades, the Giant Dragon and Liu Yuan along with it were instantly diced into pieces. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
They had encountered two Martial God Fengyu Cultivators.
Under the Swords and Sabers of these two High-level Kings, the Giant Dragon’s tough Scale Armor was no better than paper.
And just like that, all six Dragon Knights who had invaded Huaguo Mountain were dead. Five of the six Giant Dragons had been slain, with only one left struggling at Eggshell Pier.
"Alert, enemy invasion! Alert, enemy invasion!"
Wadu broadcast the alert as it headed toward Eggshell Pier to provide backup.
Meanwhile, the Atlantis Ark, which had been approaching the Huaguo Mountain Territory, came to a sudden halt. Aboard the vessel, Li Bolili’s eyes widened, her face draining of all color.
She looked as if she were about to cough up blood. Staggering back two steps, she stammered, "N-No... impossible! My six Giant Dragons and six Dragon Knights... all of them were killed! Whose territory is this?"
