Starting with watering the World Tree for otherworldly survival

Page 147

Several elves, pretending to be wiping and maintaining their bows but actually ready to draw their bows and shoot an arrow through the lizardman's head at any moment, secretly watched. One of them, petite in stature, said:

"(No! They have dragon mounts and bows and arrows... What if they take the dragon bone arrows and use them against us...!)"

Sasha silently chanted several wind spells. As a sixth-rank lower-level mage with both fire and wind attributes, she prepared to kill as many of the opponent's remaining forces as possible in one strike.

Chapter 220 The White Dragon Loli Who's Very Powerful

"Hmm... How about it? This weapon made from that big, clumsy, gourd-shaped monster can't do that, can it? Hehe~"

Yu Lan was still jealous, and now she couldn't wait to stick out her fragrant tongue, swirling and stirring it around, trying to arouse Qin He even more.

"Yes, yes, it really is a loofah~ Our Yulan is much more amazing."

If Yu Lan had a tail, it would be pointing skyward along with her raised, beautiful buttocks.

While enjoying Yu Lan's coquettish sucking and licking, Qin He kept an eye on the content of the video projection. He then noticed several unfriendly gazes flashing in the woods.

They are lizardmen. Qin He had just heard a series of analyses about the green dragon, and now he knew at a glance that this lizardman tribe was a subordinate of the green dragon.

"Mom, Aunt Zhong, you need to find a way to expand the barrier so that it covers all the elves. Your camp is surrounded."

After Qin He quietly gave them some instructions, the two people who had just been dazzled by the dazzling lights immediately became alert.

"I...I saw them too! There are so many dark figures in the bushes! Qin He, should we put them back into our spatial scales right away?"

Suddenly surrounded, Zhong Xiling was visibly panicked. Although she and Qin Xinru were protected by a barrier, neither of them could say for sure when the lizardmen would attack.

What if they suddenly attack before the barrier has a chance to open?

"Don't panic. You just need to set up a barrier to protect against ranged attacks such as spears, arrows, and magic. They can't hurt the elves."

He had just heard birdsong; that might have been the elves' secret signal for communication.

Regardless of their strength, these elven girls possessed exceptional perception.

……

Among the trees.

A lizardman warrior crawled backward, addressing their elder:

"Not a single elf has been separated from its group yet, Elder Sahe... What should we do? Should we launch a full-scale attack?"

The elderly lizardman slapped the warrior on the head, and the old woman immediately shouted angrily:

"What kind of forceful attack? The enemy has a mechanical amethyst dragon as powerful as Lord Nomis. If we launch a forceful attack, the result will be our annihilation!"

"Wait a little longer. After a day of hunting, these elves won't be able to hold back any longer. We'll make our move when they go to the river to wash up, understand?"

The task given by the green dragon was simply to capture a few Pokémon; even with his eyes closed, Sahe could guess its intentions:

It intends to manipulate its chosen spirit through various means, including coercion and enticement, so that it can control the spirit at the opportune moment and make it generate benefits for itself.

For example, poisoning the leader of the humans. As long as the person controlling the mechanical amethyst dragon dies, the green dragon can find a way to seize control of it.

……

Meanwhile, the lizardmen were still waiting for the elves to bathe in the river. But Sasha's magic had already quietly completed its final charging process.

When it came to the final moment, even without holding a staff to avoid revealing his identity, the following attack was enough to kill a large number of lizardmen.

The bone flute gave the final signal:

"(Everyone, watch out for the lizardmen's arrows and spears. Once I cast my magic, we'll all attack the lizardmen together and wipe them out!)"

Not a single one can be spared! Besides the elves, Lantern is also eager to try.

For her, those sharp and powerful dragon thieves were perfect practice material.

The demonic energy condensed rapidly, forming a cyan wind-elemental light cluster that rose into the sky and continuously poured energy outwards. As it scattered, it condensed into sharp wind blades.

An unexpected attack suddenly slashed indiscriminately at the surrounding bushes.

Many dragons and lizardmen were killed on the spot. The lizardmen had just drawn their bows and arrows to try to fight back against the elves, but the arrows were deflected by an invisible force.

"It's a barrier! They discovered us a long time ago."

Elder Sahe immediately shouted for the lizardmen to retreat. But soon, the mechanical amethyst dragon flapped its wings and took to the air.

The mechanical amethyst dragon used its dragon breath to create an explosion of amethyst, blasting away the newly assembled lizardmen and immediately stabilizing the battle.

Seeing this, Qin Xinru and Zhong Xiling also drew their swords from the lake while maintaining the barrier and attacked the lizardman warriors who were charging towards them.

It must be said that although these two lake swords look ordinary at the bottom of the lake in the elven village, they are actually quite useful.

A giant with a lizard's head came towards them, swinging his battle axe at the two of them.

But Zhong Xiling raised her sword to parry, and surprisingly, she sliced ​​half of the heavy battle axe into it. In the clash, this seemingly unremarkable one-handed sword cut through iron like mud.

Not only that, her brute strength also overwhelmed the burly lizardman warrior before her. Using her sword to pin the heavy axe down, making it almost impossible for him to move, Qin Xinru immediately prepared to deliver the finishing blow—

Stepping onto the lizardman's burly right arm wielding an axe, Qin Xinru gritted her teeth and, with a fierce determination, plunged the Lake Sword into the lizardman warrior's neck.

Despite having practiced various combat techniques associated with different battle qi, Qin Xinru still harbored some fear deep down about killing humanoid beings.

After severing the lizardman's carotid artery, Qin Xinru swiftly leaped off the lizardman warrior's shoulder.

Zhong Xiling also made up her mind and quickly turned around to meet the two lizardmen holding spears behind her.

Protected by a barrier, Qin Xinru and Zhong Xiling were completely unharmed. The lizardmen quickly realized that the two were under some kind of mysterious protection.

Compared to the well-equipped elves, the lizardmen used only passable ironware and a few staffs made from magical plant branches.

Basically, when they are discovered and confronted head-on, the lizardmen should scatter and flee for their lives.

Running quickly through the grove was far better than being wiped out in battle. Those thieving dragons were, after all, savage creatures, and under the intimidating power of the mechanical amethyst dragon, they quickly scattered like birds and beasts.

However, Tōryū wouldn't let these creatures escape so easily. After gliding and chasing them for a distance, the young white dragon deliberately exposed itself outside the barrier.

If it were to fight a young fire dragon, Lantern would probably have to think twice and proceed with caution.

But she was absolutely confident that she could take down a dozen or so of these weaker thieves on her own.

Charging into the fleeing horde of dragons along the main road, the petite white-haired loli immediately transformed back into her dragon form. Roaring, she unleashed her dragon might upon the fleeing dragons.

A first-tier peak white dragon cub was more than capable of intimidating these thieving dragons. A momentary opening was enough for her to open her mouth and bite off the thieving dragon's neck.

There was no time to slowly end the battle, so Tōru used both claws and teeth to swiftly tear off her opponent's head.

Immediately, Deng Liu transformed back into human form, wielding a dragon bone scimitar and slashing at the other dragon thieves who had not yet regained their senses.

Two splashes of blood rang out simultaneously, and another pair of thieving dragons fell to the ground. The remaining thieving dragons only then realized that their companions had been killed by the enemy before them.

The enraged dragon roared and lunged at Lantern Liu with its claws outstretched.

But no problem...

Just now at the campfire, Deng Liu had overheard Qin Xinru and Zhong Xiling's analysis of the Green Dragon's Familiar.

While she was wolfing down the grilled silver rhinoceros steak, she was also looking for a solution.

The Jagras has an exceptional jumping ability, so Tōryū reverted to its original form, spread its wings, and launched a powerful swoop at the Jagras.

The impact caused Tengliu to stumble back several steps, but the dragons that rushed up were all sprawled on the ground, unable to get up immediately.

Even in dragon form, one can wield a curved sword and perform some simple movements. Tōru then unleashed a flurry of slashes at the dragon thieves, the dragon steel blade easily slicing through their bodies and killing them.

But with such an attack, the scimitar quickly slipped from the dragon's tightly gripped claws. Seeing another thieving dragon pounce, Deng Liu immediately extended its tail to coil around the dragon bone scimitar, while its free claws slapped at the heads of the two thieving dragons.

Qin Xinru and Zhong Xiling were worried that Deng Liu would encounter danger if she ran out alone, so after confirming that the elves were in control of the situation, they left behind the alchemy bracelet as a safeguard.

Following Deng Liu, they quickly discovered the group of thieving dragons. The lizard-like monsters with their long, thin limbs were quickly subdued by Deng Liu, but she was indeed in grave danger being surrounded by dozens of thieving dragons.

Fortunately, these thief dragons are not too badly able to hurt Deng Liu. Fighting alone in the thief dragon horde, Deng Liu's most serious injury is only losing a few dragon scales.

Suddenly, a piercing roar rang out. A massive, bloated dragon with glowing red eyes charged wildly toward Deng Liu!

The threat posed by the giant thief dragon was far greater than that of these smaller thief dragons; its relatively strong limbs were designed for attack.

Its forepaws were stained with the blood of a herbivorous dragon, and looking at its swollen belly, this crazed giant thief dragon had clearly just hunted and swallowed a herbivorous dragon whole.

"Ugh...that's disgusting!"

Zhong Xiling felt immediate disgust upon seeing the giant, drooling, acidic dragon. However, when she saw the monster intending to use its abdomen and full weight to suppress Deng Liu, who was surrounded by the dragon, the two of them quickly made their move.

There's no point in not using it when you need it, so Qin Xinru made a decisive move, drawing out a magical gun with some remaining magic energy.

"boom--!"

A powerful fire elemental magic projectile was launched, but it struck the belly of the leaping giant thief dragon precisely.

The giant dragon, its flesh and scales pierced, immediately felt the intense pain in its abdomen caused by the flames igniting its stomach acid.

It roared angrily and vomited up the herbivorous dragon corpse that Qin Xinru had just swallowed!

The enormous herbivorous dragon hurtled towards them like a cannonball. Even with the barrier in place, Qin Xinru absolutely did not want to face this disgusting attack.

She narrowly escaped by somersaulting, but at that moment the great thief dragon turned to Teng Liu, wanting to swallow the white dragon.

"Don't even think about it! Get away from Teng Liu!"

Zhong Xiling used the combat skill she had just acquired, condensing the giant tongue of the Poisonous Demon Bird with pure Dragon Source Battle Qi, and delivered a perfect slap to the Great Thief Dragon.

Hit on the head, the great thief dragon lay unconscious on the ground, legs in the air. Teng Liu also acted decisively—

Previously, Qin Xinru had given Deng Liu a storage ring to store some items.

This included the dragon coin, as well as the celestial sword, a treasure brought from the crystal dragon's lair.

The celestial sphere used for divination can transform into a shield, a function that Tōru only learned after using it herself. But now, all she needs is a sword—that celestial ceremonial sword long enough to disembowel the Great Thief Dragon!

Shining with gold, silver, and starlight, the longsword suddenly burst forth with a cold light. The moment it was drawn, it revealed its sharpness in Deng Liu's hand, slashing fiercely down at the great dragon thief!

This great thief dragon, which was probably at the peak of the fourth tier, was successfully killed by Deng Liu's finishing blow.

……

In the camp.

“My two mistresses, the lizardmen have been completely wiped out by us. Except for this one… who appears to be an elder of the enemy, a shaman.”

Annie sheathed her dragonbone twin blades and, along with several other elven girls, escorted the lizardman elder over.

Under interrogation by Qin He and others, Sahe quickly confessed to what had happened.

Elder Sahe is the leader of the lizardmen here. One day, a green dragon descended upon this forest, demanding the loyalty of the lizardman tribe.

For adult dragons, recruiting followers is extremely important. With followers to do things for you, you can enjoy their service in everything from mining and raiding to daily life.

All the dragon had to do was protect them and offer them some benefits when the time was right.

Nomis, the Green Dragon, is a thoroughly insane dragon. He has been dedicated to the research of cursed blood, attempting to mix the blood of the chromatic dragons and extract and amplify its most violent madness.

It intends to create its own army of beast dragons and wyverns, and to drive them into a frenzy with cursed blood, multiplying their destructive power and physical attributes...

If given the opportunity, it will even seek out dragon eggs and young dragons as experimental subjects.

"Then our goal is clear: take down that wretched green dragon!"

Zhong Xiling was determined to get rid of this green dragon. But what if it set its sights on Deng Liu?

Chapter 221 Fiercely Using a Sword in Front of Mom

"Mom, don't be in such a hurry. That green dragon has quite a few poisonous birds with it. If we start fighting directly, there will be a lot of casualties."

Zhong Liuxiu was the first to urge her mother to calm down, acknowledging that the green dragon was indeed a threat. However, killing it would require extreme caution…

A living, adult green dragon possesses at least a hundred years of wisdom and accumulated experience. Among the five-colored dragons, it is the most cunning and calculating.

Putting everything else aside, the fact that the other party has a familiar and ordered it to attack the elves means that this green dragon must have obtained information about the mechanical amethyst dragon.

On this basis, it still dared to order its retinue to attack. It must have had corresponding preparations.

It's quite possible that it might pull out some trump card to temporarily suppress the Mechanical Amethyst Dragon.

Putting everything else aside, let's just look at the known intelligence.

This evil dragon is conducting a series of studies on the cursed blood... It's likely that after drinking the cursed blood and unleashing its madness, it wouldn't be any less powerful than the Mechanical Amethyst Dragon.

Even with their remaining firearms and alchemical tools, they weren't confident they could kill the green dragon. If the green dragon were truly in dire straits, it would likely infuse all the poisonous birds with cursed blood.

At that point, winning will be extremely difficult. Although Qin Xinru and Zhong Xiling absorbed and transformed the Poisonous Bird's abilities after extracting the materials.

But with their second-tier battle aura, how many poisoned elves could they possibly heal?

Qin He, however, calmed down and said:

"It's alright, Mom, Aunt Zhong, you two can just swagger over to the Green Dragon's lair right now. The elves don't need to participate in the battle at all, and even if the Green Dragon discovers your presence, it won't be able to break through the barrier."
