Chapter 656, Flame Dragon
Translator: Silavin
However, after Lu Fan dodged the pincer attack from the two Dragon Carcasses, he discovered that these two Dragon Carcasses were actually fusing together during their pursuit, transforming into a Four Headed Dragon Carcass!
The Monster formed was clearly far more powerful. Its speed had even surpassed the flying speed of Lu Fan and Ye Sha.
Lu Fan was forced to use Void Break repeatedly just to ensure he would not get caught.
However, the continuous use of Void Break was a significant test of Ye Sha’s Stamina and Mana Pool. Ye Sha was not like Bao Bao, who could directly release any Skill without considering his Mana Pool consumption.
Now, being constantly pursued by such a creature, Lu Fan felt both angry and helpless.
Since becoming a Dragon Tamer, he had always been the one chasing others. Except for that previous incident in the Far North when he was pursued by that unknown shadowy figure related to the Fallen Corpse Ancient God, when had he ever been in such a predicament?!
Typically, he would turn around and fight this Four Headed Dragon Carcass.
In fact, during his escape, Lu Fan even took out his Piercing Dragon Roar and fired the Additional Skill, Serpent’s Hidden Arrow.
However, he soon abandoned the idea of fighting the Four Headed Dragon Carcass.
This was because Lu Fan’s Serpent’s Hidden Arrow could unleash several times the destructive power and was considered one of his most powerful Skills. Yet, when it struck, although it produced a violent explosion, it only caused cracks to appear in the dark purple scale on the creature. It did not cause any actual Damage.
Moreover, through those cracks, countless purplish black tentacles could be seen intertwining with each other, instantly repairing that insignificant wound.
The damage Lu Fan had inflicted was immediately neutralised by the opponent.
Based on its level of Defence and Recovery Speed, even if Lu Fan deployed Shadow Purgatory, he would most likely not be able to cut off a limb.
Most likely, at best, he could injure the opponent, but the opponent would also be able to detain him.
At that point, all the surrounding decayed and withered material would transform into new Monsters and fuse together, leaving him with absolutely no hope of survival.
Once surrounded, whether he could even get Xing Chen to open up a Starry Space Passage to escape from here would be uncertain.
Therefore, after testing the opponent’s capabilities with one strike, Lu Fan immediately made his decision without any hesitation. He needed to run!
No matter what, he had to run!
Unfortunately, despite Lu Fan’s repeated use of Void Break, he still could not shake off the pursuit.
If more Dragon Carcasses appeared to intercept him, that would be the end.
At that point, he could only leave this place before the situation got worse.
This was because the only thing Lu Fan could rely on, the Devouring Dragon King, had already agreed with him earlier that to avoid getting detected by the Life Dragon King, she would remain dormant for now.
If the Life Dragon King discovered the contract between her and Lu Fan, the Life Dragon King would definitely not give Lu Fan the Reward for defeating the Devouring Dragon King.
Deceiving the Life Dragon King was no easy task, so after entering the Dragon Domain, the Devouring Dragon King had voluntarily sealed herself and would only awaken after Lu Fan left the Dragon Domain.
Otherwise, asking the Devouring Dragon King on how to handle this situation would certainly help.
The only solution Lu Fan could think of was to leave now, then return to the Western Border and ask the Starry Sky Ancestor and the Devouring Dragon King what exactly was happening, and what had occurred in the Valley of Life.
Just as Lu Fan was about to summon Xing Chen to quickly open a Starry Space Passage to leave this place, suddenly, a flash of fire appeared above his head.
Lu Fan instinctively looked up and saw a massive gate made of flames appear out of nowhere, burning with blazing heat!
Immediately after, flames poured forth from within, almost brushing against Lu Fan and Ye Sha’s backs, yet did not harm them.
[What is happening!? This place actually has something other than those Monsters!?] Lu Fan looked back and saw a ball of concentrated fire, accompanied by roaring sounds, falling from the flame gate.
The Four Headed Dragon Carcass was caught off guard and was directly struck by this ball of fire.
Only then did Lu Fan realise that it was not actually fire, but a Giant Dragon composed of flames!
This Giant Dragon was roughly the same size as the Starry Sky Ancestor and should also be an Adult Giant Dragon. Moreover, its racial characteristics were not difficult to discern.
[It’s a Magic Attack Specialised Giant Dragon, specialising in the Fire Element. It resembles Xiao Ye but there are some major differences between the two.]
[Though Xiao Ye is also of the Fire Element, but most of her Skills primarily form Magma. In short, though her foundation lay in the Fire Element, she also possesses some characteristics of the Earth Element in her attacks. But this Dragon is different. It purely specialises in the Fire Element.]
It was apparent that Dragons with the characteristics which focus on a single Element were more terrifying in that single Element. Just like Bao Bao, who only knew how to release the Lightning Element. Bao Bao was basically the strongest in terms of Lightning Element Skills!
This Fire Element Giant Dragon before him should be similar. Its Fire Element Skill Damage might not be as Heaven Defying as Bao Bao’s, but it should not be inferior to him either.
At the very least, although Lu Fan had already flown some distance away, he could still feel the scorching heat of the flames on the opponent.
With just these flames alone, easily burning the current Lu Fan to death would not be a problem.
Even if Lu Fan were the same Level as it, facing these flames would probably give him quite a headache.
Seeing a living Giant Dragon suddenly appear through the flame gate, Lu Fan instinctively stopped and looked back.
This dragon was entangled with the Four Headed Dragon Carcass, seemingly competing in physical strength.
However, would a Flame Dragon compete in something it was not good at?
Suddenly, the Flame Dragon roared, its entire body’s flames surging and erupting, actually using itself as the centre to transform into a pillar of fire shooting skyward, enveloping both itself and the Four Headed Dragon Carcass within.
Instantly, this pillar of fire reached straight to the top of the Valley of Life, illuminating the dark Valley of Life.
In the firelight, Lu Fan saw the Dragon Carcass entangled with the Flame Dragon struggling frantically, but such scorching flames made it difficult to endure. After struggling a few times, its body withered and subsequently turned to ash.
Clearly, although the purple black fibrous body could continuously reorganise and generate harder carapaces, when faced with absolute heat, this Dragon Carcass was powerless to resist and could not escape the fate of being burned to ash.
As the Four Headed Dragon Carcass was burned to ash, the massive pillar of fire also disappeared.
The flames on that Flame Dragon were obviously not as vigorous as before. It seemed that the Skill earlier had been quite draining.
