This Summoner Is Too Powerful

Chapter 738: Chapter 514: Hammerhead Dragon’s Lair (2)

Of course, what annoyed Ayalong the most was that its body was now faintly emitting a durian scent.

With water still clinging to it, and evaporating with body heat, the smell grew even stronger.

It belonged to the type that couldn’t stand durian, making itself feel nauseous.

As for the ability Li Long obtained from the Durian Armor Dragon, it was different.

[Cardiovascular Endurance]: Heart and lung functions are enhanced.

This ability is quite suitable for it now.

The stronger the cardiovascular function is, the longer it can sustain running.

Moreover, this ability aids in breath-holding, allowing it to hide for longer periods.

As for the evolutionary ability obtained from the Crocodile Dragon, it relates to the water environment.

[Water-Running Finger Web]: Enhanced water-running ability.

This ability can generate energy-membrane between its front paws and hind limbs, forming a webbed foot shape.

And conveniently, when not needed, this layer of membrane can automatically dissipate under mental command, without affecting its usual land movements.

With the flood raging ahead, there’s a chance it might encounter an opportunity to use it.

Checking their gains only took the dragons a little time, but glancing back they found the water level drawing closer again.

Even the silhouette of a Water Dragon appeared not far away, seemingly eyeing their flesh.

So Li Long and Ayalong hurriedly continued upward.

At a spot roughly 10 meters above the water level, they discovered a gathering of small dragons seeking refuge.

Perhaps out of fear of disturbing the Hammerhead Dragon atop the hill, everyone was very restrained and, surprisingly, no friction occurred.

Even though the eyes of many carnivorous small dragons were already filled with a desire to feast.

"Damn it, if I could eat all these dragons here, wouldn’t I surely evolve into a mid-sized dragon?"

Ayalong voiced everyone’s thoughts.

But Li Long knew it wasn’t a simple arithmetic problem.

If chaos arose, he didn’t know how much meat he could eat or who would become the ultimate winner.

Clearly, even the native dragons present understood this, and none instigated trouble, opting to wait for the flood to subside quickly.

Yet it seemed like the weather was not cooperating, as the water level continued to rise.

Each time it rose by 1 meter, the refuge-seeking small dragons had to move upward by 1 meter.

Finally, when the Hammerhead Dragon’s cave entrance appeared, the rising water level finally slowed down.

At this time, the Hammerhead Dragon lazily lay at its cave entrance.

Its gaze at the small dragons was full of mockery.

Clearly, it had expected this scene long ago.

Without needing to throw out bait, so much food delivered itself, how delightful.

[Roar...]

With its low roar, all the small dragons trembled, lowering their heads and bowing their bodies.

Li Long sensed an invisible wave sweep over his body, but felt no anomalies.

With yesterday’s experience, he knew this was the other’s fear-effect field.

Having acquired Ayalong’s [Strong Heart], he was no longer afraid of this fear effect.

"Lower your head, pretend to be scared."

Still, he promptly followed suit, whispering to remind Ayalong.

At times like these, best not appear too conspicuous.

Otherwise, it’s easy to become the Hammerhead Dragon’s chosen target.

[Humphumphroar]

Sure enough, seeing everyone frightened, the Hammerhead Dragon snorted twice contentedly.

Then it rose, like shopping, started selecting among the small dragon group, only today’s purchase was free.

Previously it needed to bait and expend lots of energy releasing fear to prevent small dragons from escaping, so it was cautious with its appetite, eating only one at a time.

But today was a rare opportunity, it sought a feast.

Moreover, to prepare for potential upcoming enemies, it must conserve energy.

Thus, the Hammerhead Dragon soon chose its first target.

"Damn it, truly unlucky!"

The small dragon it caught happened to be a Cardholder Dragon.

With resentful curses, it swiftly became the Hammerhead Dragon’s belly meal.

One after another, four or five small dragons, nearly defenseless, were devoured.

All small dragons feared becoming the next target, overcoming fear they retreated, trying to evade selection.

Lastly, the Hammerhead Dragon walked up next to Ayalong.

In the corner of his eye, Li Long saw it stop, suddenly feeling uneasy.

As expected, the Hammerhead Dragon began its selection process, step one, sniffing for delicious meat scent.

[Roar... Vomit!]

Then it stopped at the first step.

Because it found an exceptionally disgusting stench on the iron-scaled dragon.

So repulsive it made it retch, absolutely inedible.

Since that’s the case, it could only choose... hmm?

Hammerhead Dragon thought of choosing the pleasing white-clothed dragon beside the iron-scaled dragon, then realized it had vanished.

[Roarroar?]

What happened, did it fall into the water during a moment’s distraction?

Hammerhead Dragon felt perplexed, believing its retching distracted and it didn’t notice it falling into the water.

Luckily, plenty of food choices were available, so it didn’t dwell on it and soon moved elsewhere.

However, the surrounding terror-bound small dragons were nearly bulging their eyes.

Because, fixated on Hammerhead Dragon and the events around it, they saw that the white-clothed dragon vanished right under Hammerhead Dragon’s nose.

How it disappeared, they couldn’t discern, it blinked out of sight.

This must be ghostly, a spectral dragon perhaps?

Meanwhile, Li Long, using breath-holding concealment, quietly sneaked around to the mountainside, then took a deep breath during a gas exchange, stealthily creeping into the Hammerhead Dragon’s den.

[Whimperroar!]

As it entered the cave, it happened to hear another small dragon suffer outside.

Yet this entry was rather smooth.

The skull with the same fear-effect already didn’t affect it.

Only sensing the significant chilly cold, with no discomfort otherwise.

Thus Li Long advanced boldly, entering the cavernous dark innards.

The interior structure was spacious, not a straight-through type.

After advancing about 10 meters, it encountered a fork.

Probing the left path, found it not deep.

A layer of mixed dragon bones covered the ground, appearing bleakly white.

Feeling it should be the Hammerhead Dragon’s rest area, as the white bone layer clearly dented in its lying shape.

Even as a dragon rather than a human now, Li Long didn’t like this type of bed, fearing spinal aches.

Then exploring right, there was light.

Moreover, deeper than the left, a few steps in revealed its contents.

The glowing object was actually a spherical piece of flesh.

Li Long had no answers for why flesh was spherical and glowing.

He only knew aided by its light, he saw many large chunks of meat.

Those meats were the source of fragrant aroma.

The scent, shapes, and patterns allowed recognition of each meat’s dragon type.

They were well-preserved due to one piece emitting chilling air.

"Gulp."

The impulse to evolve made Li Long gulp involuntarily.

He’s now LV8, sensed that consuming all those meat chunks might possibly level him to LV20?

LV20, should qualify as a mid-sized dragon?

If LV20 mid-sized, wouldn’t he outgrow Hammerhead Dragon’s threat?

So from which piece to start munching?

Momentarily, he fell into blissful dilemma.

Thump, thump, thump...

But at this moment, heavy footsteps echoed in the cave.

Hammerhead Dragon had returned.
