Worthless Profession: Dragon Tamer

Chapter 654, Dragon Carcass

[So they can actually fuse together? And after fusing, they become stronger!?] Lu Fan felt a migraine coming.

The existence of this sort of thing was most likely the root cause of this drastic change in the Valley of Life.

Although it was not particularly formidable, still far inferior compared to Adult Giant Dragons, its peculiarity was far too strange. The Valley of Life originally possessed extremely vigorous Life Essence, with countless trees, grasslands, streams and much more. If the Life Essence itself had been contaminated by some kind of power, then transformed into this strange existence, which could fuse with others of its kind to become an even more powerful being, then it would not be strange for the Giant Dragons to eventually be unable to resist.

At present, everything in the Valley of Life had basically withered.

If all that had been withered transformed into these alien creatures and fused together, perhaps only an existence like the Eternal Phase Shadow Dragon King would be able to match it?

The Life Dragon King was not proficient in combat, with all her Combat Power basically coming from the Rootless Dragons she had birthed.

Trying to rely on numbers to contend with the source of these withered things, was like matching scissors to stone. The Life Dragon King would clearly be at a disadvantage. After all, as long as a single Giant Dragon was sacrificed, these things would contaminate them, transforming the carcass into the same sort of purplish black body of fibre. It would then fuse into that strange thing’s body, enhancing its power.

As such, the overtaking of the Valley of Life made sense.

At this point, Lu Fan was almost certain that the Valley of Life was definitely in grave danger.

However, he felt reluctant to leave without obtaining anything.

He was also quite keen to understand what exactly the source of this withering was, where it came from, and what purpose it served. If he did not figure these things out, then not only the Valley of Life, what about the other territories of the Dragon Domain?

If Dragon Domain was also contaminated by this sort of power, then how formidable would the resulting existence’s power be? Lu Fan himself could not even begin to imagine it.

Allowing this sort of power to continue spreading unchecked would threaten not only the Dragon Domain, but inevitably the world where Humanity’s survival was at stake.

Lu Fan was not someone who possessed grand ambitions to fight for Humanity. It was just that if Humanity was threatened by some sort of power and he did nothing about it, then he himself would be unable to survive.

Therefore, Lu Fan was not acting for the sake of Humanity, but for himself.

Watching the existence before him reassemble its body once again and silently charge towards him, Lu Fan decided not to waste any more time on it.

He wanted to resolve it quickly, taking advantage of the time it takes to reassemble its body to shake it off.

“Ye Sha, transform into your Death Bringer Form!”

Around Ye Sha’s body, Shadow Energy swirled, and with him as the centre, everything around fell into darkness.

Within this darkness, Ye Sha was the absolute Master.

“Shadow Purgatory!” Lu Fan commanded once again, and Ye Sha complied without a word.

Instantly, countless Shadow Flash attacks erupted. Lu Fan and Ye Sha moved so fast they could barely be seen, with only streaks of crimson light continuously shuttling through the area.

Each activation of Shadow Flash carved up this bizarre existence’s body, making it completely unable to resist.

Countless Shadow Flashes were launched together. This was Ye Sha’s Shadow Purgatory!

Being subjected to this Skill was no different from being in Hell itself.

A full minute of continuous Shadow Flashes left this being close to disintegrating, broken down into countless fragments.

Yet it remained the same as before, with all the flesh pieces extending tendrils, beginning to stick together and pull at each other, striving to reform into a complete whole.

Not only these fragments, but Lu Fan also saw that some withered things in the surroundings began to shrivel, transforming into purplish black fibres, seemingly wanting to inject new flesh and power into this body.

After Lu Fan finished releasing Shadow Purgatory and tore down this being, with almost no moment’s hesitation, he immediately mounted Ye Sha and departed at maximum speed.

After releasing that Skill, Lu Fan confirmed that the opponent’s defensive power had clearly become somewhat stronger.

When the purplish black fibre condensed into hard carapace, its defence against Physical Attack rose by a Grade. At this point, even the God Slaying Ballista might not have much effect on it.

It was only because Lu Fan’s strength was so formidable that he could slice it into countless pieces.

Lu Fan found it difficult to imagine just how strong it would become if more flesh pieces from the surroundings merged with it.

He might still be able to chop it to pieces, but what would be the point?

This thing was not a Monster at all, not even a living creature. It simply could not be killed. Continuing to entangle with it would only be him pointlessly wasting energy.

Therefore, Lu Fan’s objective was very clear – avoid combat!

Unless absolutely necessary, he would not fight this sort of existence again.

After being sliced apart, the opponent would indeed reassemble, and might even become stronger due to incorporating new fibrous flesh pieces.

However, their reassembly speed was not fast. At least, Lu Fan, who was riding Ye Sha, could very easily shake them off.

Indeed, Lu Fan and Ye Sha flew all the way, and in the blink of an eye left that being far behind.

For the opponent to catch up should be impossible.

This was not the time to relax though, because the entire Valley of Life had been completely contaminated by this strange withering and decay.

If this withering could give birth to that sort of existence, then there were no safe places anywhere in the Valley of Life.

Lu Fan ventured deeper, having made his preparations. He would patrol this place in a circle to see if he could find anything unusual.

Regardless of the outcome, when it was time for him to leave, he would head directly to Shadow Isle and absolutely would not linger here.

The places he passed through clearly triggered the conditions for that sort of being to appear.

Lu Fan could sense that in quite a few places he had passed, withered trees were transforming into sludge, then becoming purplish black fibrous bodies, subsequently condensing and taking shape, becoming some sort of bizarrely-formed Monster.

Unfortunately for them, Lu Fan was too fast, and before the opponent could take shape, he had already moved far away from the area. Even if the opponent became a Monster, they could not catch up to him.

However, the Valley of Life was even larger than Lu Fan had imagined. He flew for a full half hour and still could not see the edge of the Map.

Just as he continued forward, suddenly a massive object appeared before his eyes, causing him to involuntarily halt.

This massive object was not one of those bizarre existences, but rather a Dragon Carcass.

Looking at the size of this Giant Dragon, it should be the carcass of an Adult Giant Dragon, but Lu Fan could not determine what Phase it had reached.

The entire Dragon Carcass was preserved relatively intact, with the cause of death unknown. However, its flesh, like everything else in the Valley of Life, had already decayed and withered, emanating a foul stench.
