Chapter 742: Chapter 516: Li Long Takes Action
An inexplicable ice spike attack caused the Hammerhead Dragon’s eyes to change slightly.
It always felt like this scene was somewhat familiar.
Except the ice spike was not piercing someone else’s body but its own.
That bone-chilling pain, it remembers even now.
Something was amiss, the Hammerhead Dragon had already guessed that its meat might have been stolen, though it didn’t know how the thief managed it.
[Roar...]
It let out a low growl towards the two Nessie Dragons, wanting to indicate that today should end here.
Just as both sides tied again, it needed to deal with the thief in the cave first.
[Roar!!!] x2
However, the levels on both sides were too low, so the languages were still not understood; the Nessie Dragons mistakenly perceived it as provocation and responded defiantly.
Especially since one of the dragons had been injured due to a sneak attack, causing greater anger.
Thus, instead of resting, they attacked even more fiercely.
[Roar!!!]
The vigorous combined attack of the two Nessie Dragons made the Hammerhead Dragon angry as well.
It was not one to be bullied, let alone the appearance of its defensive stance seemed unable to delay until a turning point emerged.
Because according to the past rhythm, the two Nessie Dragons should have retreated or shown signs of withdrawal by now.
These water dragons must hurry along the waterways while there’s still water, or else they’ll be stranded onshore and slaughtered by land-walking dragons.
Evidently, today the two Nessie Dragons intended to fight to the end, determined to eat the Hammerhead Dragon while their side held the advantage.
[Roar!!!]
The opponent’s lack of tact spurred the Hammerhead Dragon’s fighting spirit.
It realized it must quickly resolve the battle; otherwise, the longer it dragged on, the more it benefited the meat thief.
Thus, the injured Nessie Dragon became the sole target of the Hammerhead Dragon’s fierce attacks.
Even to the extent of tearing at it, the Hammerhead Dragon disregarded the other Nessie Dragon, allowing it to attack it.
"What is going on, is there actually a helper hiding in the cave?"
"The Hammerhead Dragon actually has a helper, if it’s 2V2 now, the Nessie Dragons are out of luck."
"Doesn’t that mean that after victory, the dragons feeding on us will 100% become two..."
"Certainly not good news."
The appearance of the Hammerhead Dragon’s assistance did not make the smaller dragons happy.
They only focused on the declining water level, wanting to see if there was any chance of escape.
Among them, the Long-tail Dragon was most attentive, given its extensive experience.
The battle between the two sides thus persisted for nearly 20 minutes, with all three dragons covered in scales and wounds.
Especially the one previously attacked by ice spikes, in the worst condition.
Its flesh had been torn off in multiple places by the Hammerhead Dragon, clearly on the brink of defeat.
And the Hammerhead Dragon seized this chance to devour its flesh and blood, hoping to use it for evolution.
[Roar...]
Thud!
The pursued Nessie Dragon could no longer withstand the damage and crashed heavily to the ground.
Seeing it barely breathing, many of the observing smaller dragons couldn’t help but swallow hard.
Needless to say, this was a mid-level dragon, if they could have a meal, they would surely evolve.
"Fortune favors the brave!"
A Bristle Dragon finally couldn’t resist and charged forward with a low roar.
[Roar!!!]
Yet, barely after getting a few bites in, it was stomped and crippled by the Hammerhead Dragon.
Wailing on the ground, it was further crushed by the hefty body of another Nessie Dragon, and died instantly.
The aftermath of the battle between medium-sized dragons was not something the smaller dragons could withstand.
Such an incident made the smaller dragons, who originally wanted to get a share of the spoils, hesitate.
During this brief hesitation, another major event took place on the field.
[Roar!!!]
With no interference from other dragons, the Hammerhead Dragon gained an increasingly apparent advantage, seizing the opportunity to bite the neck of the Nessie Dragon it was fighting.
[Roar...!]
The Nessie Dragon’s body froze slightly, evidently in considerable pain.
However, it still used its remaining strength to bite the Hammerhead Dragon’s nape.
For a moment, the sides became deadlocked.
At this point, neither the Nessie Dragon nor the Hammerhead Dragon were forces to be reckoned with anymore.
It depended on which side would falter and release its grip first.
Meanwhile, observing from the rear, the Ayalon saw the situation and cast a glance toward the dark cave, its eyes shrewdly rotating.
"Everyone, let’s go!"
Afterward, it issued a loud shout: "Bite them both to death; otherwise, whichever survives, we’ll become the meal to replenish their strength!"
Following these words, the Bristle Dragons indeed became agitated.
Now with the two dragons biting each other, the probability of the battle’s aftermath affecting them sufficiently decreased, making it a perfect opportunity for an attack.
However, without a leader to take the charge...
As they contemplated this, they already saw an Iron-hide Dragon dart out first.
It was not the largest among the smaller dragons, but its steps were resolute nonetheless.
"Wah..."
It bit the tail of the Hammerhead Dragon but was immediately swatted and crashed into the mountain wall.
This scene moved many of the smaller dragons.
Even the native dragons, who couldn’t communicate, were utterly stirred.
If all the smaller dragons united, perhaps there might indeed be a chance of winning the current situation!
[Roar! Roar! Roar!]
[Roar! Roar!]
"Charge, bite them both to death!"
"A bite for a bite!"
So, almost 80% of the smaller dragons charged collectively, rushing towards the Hammerhead Dragon and Nessie Dragon entangled together to bite them.
