Chapter 655, Three-Headed Monster

Translator: Silavin

[As expected, even Giant Dragons had died!]

Lu Fan’s heart grew heavy, for if even Giant Dragons had perished, did this not suggest that the Life Dragon King was also in grave danger at this very moment?

[If even she is dead, then my two Missions would no longer be able to be completed! The Mission Rewards are secondary; the crucial question now is what force could invade the Dragon Domain and endanger even a Dragon King!? Where did such a thing originate from, and what are its intentions!? If this continues to spread, it could conquer the entire Dragon Domain and even the world where Humanity lives!]

[Humanity might face extinction…]

This world was indeed one that combined reality with game-like elements. Yet compared to games, it resembled reality far more closely. If one died here, death was genuine.

Lu Fan had many people he wished to protect: his Auntie, Jian Ying, Qin Qiu, and the others. With such strange developments occurring in the Dragon Domain’s Valley of Life, how could Lu Fan possibly remain at ease?

Now, he had to determine what had transpired here!

As Lu Fan pondered these matters, he suddenly discovered that even the massive Dragon Carcass before him was not Immune to this strange withering.

It seemed to sense Lu Fan’s presence, and the enormous Dragon Carcass began to react and stir to life!

The massive Dragon Carcass rose from its prone position upon the ground to standing upright. Its rotting flesh emitted a pungent stench, while decaying meat fell like mud droplets with wet disgusting splashing sounds that made one wish to retch.

After this putrid flesh struck the ground, it contracted and transformed into a purplish black fibrous body, subsequently spreading fungal-like tendrils that interconnected and pulled against each other while advancing towards the enormous Dragon Carcass. It was apparently seeking to merge with it and form some new, grotesque entity.

As this putrid flesh changed into purplish black fibrous matter, its volume continuously diminished. What had been as vast as a mountain range of mass rapidly contracted to merely over a hundred metres in height.

Though its size had greatly reduced, the oppressive presence this Dragon Carcass exerted upon Lu Fan continued to intensify!

A single rotting Dragon Carcass was already terrifying enough.

Watching this Dragon Carcass gradually transform into some unknown Monster while retaining certain characteristics of the original Dragon made it even more fearsome!

Soon enough, this Dragon Carcass had completely transformed into a purplish black behemoth over a hundred metres tall, with wings and four limbs.

The oppressive aura of this creature far exceeded that of the two smaller beings Lu Fan had encountered previously. As for its Combat Power, there was likely a vast disparity between them. After all, one had been formed from corrupted flora. This one, however, had been transformed from an actual Dragon Carcass!

The surrounding withered trees and earth continued to change as well, with more purplish black fibres continuously forming, seeking to approach and merge with this Dragon Carcass.

Once such fusion occurred, its Combat Power would become even more terrifying!

At this point, Lu Fan had no inclination to further study his opponent and just continued to escape with Ye Sha.

Though the enemy was formidable, Lu Fan knew that he and Ye Sha possessed a huge advantage in terms of their Agility Attribute. As long as he avoided direct confrontation with such enemies, they should not be able to catch him.

Lu Fan and Ye Sha continued their flight while the Dragon Carcass naturally pursued them from behind.

Though the opponent appeared massive in size, its speed was not to be underestimated.

As Lu Fan rode upon Ye Sha, he could hear the howling wind behind him. Looking back, he confirmed that the Dragon Carcass had spread its wings and was giving chase.

Its speed surpassed that of any entity Lu Fan had previously encountered, yet regrettably, Ye Sha still held the advantage in terms of speed.

After merely ten minutes of pursuit, Lu Fan had completely outdistanced the Dragon Carcass, which vanished from sight.

Lu Fan could not determine whether this being, upon losing its target, would continue following the scent trail or would revert back and return to dormancy.

Though curious, he was not inclined to return and observe what would happen. Getting trapped by it might mean the end of them.

Lu Fan continued advancing. Along the way, he encountered several more Dragon Carcasses.

Moreover, Lu Fan sensed he was progressing ever deeper into the Valley of Life. Clearly, the further he went, the more Dragon Carcasses he encountered.

These Giant Dragon remains had died in wretched states, by various means. Some had been disembowelled, their organs removed, and abdomens ruptured. Others had been decapitated, their bodies and heads gnawed by some unknown force until while bone was exposed.

Even these bones had been corroded by some unknown power, becoming mud-like.

Dragon Carcasses were basically treasure troves; even a single Dragon Scale could be worth a fortune. With so many Dragon Carcasses present, if they had been preserved intact, Lu Fan could have accumulated vast amounts of wealth merely by collecting these materials.

Regrettably, these Dragon Carcasses had all withered and decayed. Furthermore, as Lu Fan approached, as though activating some mechanism, the rotting flesh on these Dragon Carcasses began writhing, transforming into those strange beings that pursued Lu Fan with murderous intent.

In the worst case so far, Lu Fan had as many as three Dragon Carcasses trailing behind him. Moreover, these three Dragon Carcasses gradually fused during their pursuit, becoming a Monster with three heads.

This Monster possessed Combat Power so formidable it defied description, causing Lu Fan to feel great pressure.

Had he not repeatedly activated Void Break to create some distance from his opponent, Lu Fan might have gotten overtaken!

Still, he managed to escape. If it got worse than that, regardless of his choice, Lu Fan would have to withdraw from this place.

As he encountered increasing numbers of Dragon Carcasses, Lu Fan became ever more convinced that the path he was on was the right one.

Unfortunately, he had yet to encounter the Life Dragon King.

Regardless of whether she had perished, she should logically be located somewhere further ahead. So, Lu Fan continued his nerve-wracking flight while being pursued.

…

“Damn it! Why are you still chasing me!? Will this never end!!?” Lu Fan glanced back and immediately felt overwhelmed.

Half an hour earlier, he had encountered another Dragon Carcass pursuing him.

Initially, this had not seemed particularly concerning. After all, if it gave chase, he would just flee.

However, just as Lu Fan prepared to escape, that Three Headed Dragon Carcass appeared from the side!

The Three Headed Dragon Carcass possessed exceptionally High Attributes, and its speed matched Lu Fan.

Lu Fan did not know how or when this Three Headed Dragon Carcass had been there. What he knew was that it intentionally intercepted his path.

Facing this blockade, Lu Fan felt no fear and simply used Void Break to easily break through the siege.
