Chapter 1623 - 1620: Jiao Long’s Evolution!
Compared to before, this time Little Dragon’s devouring process was almost unimpeded, appearing exceptionally smooth.
Moreover, as Little Dragon devoured the Black Corner Blood Python,
Li Chen keenly noticed its fifth claw was developing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Just like that, who knows how much time passed.
The Black Corner Blood Python had been completely devoured by Little Dragon.
"Roar!"
A soul-stirring dragon roar suddenly exploded, echoing across the sky.
Immediately, Little Dragon coiled its body and shot straight towards the Nine Heavens Cloud.
Looking up from below, it was clear to see that Little Dragon’s fifth claw had already developed.
"Boom!"
Little Dragon extended its first claw!
A bolt of lightning directly tore through the void, striking down towards the demon wolves below.
The wolves below were quite unlucky, having no time to react, they were struck to a crisp on the spot.
"Boom!"
Following closely, Jiao Long extended its second claw!
An orange-red Fire Dragon roared out.
The Fire Dragon incinerated the surrounding void with a cracking sound.
Then, Jiao Long extended its third claw, which gathered a mass of violent Gang wind.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
A super tornado formed in mid-air, sweeping across the sky with an unstoppable posture.
In no time, the entire black forest looked like it had been ravaged by a super typhoon, full of devastation.
Then, Jiao Long extended its fourth claw.
This claw bore a mass of dark clouds.
Within the dark clouds, it was as if an ink dragon was rolling and rising.
Faintly, the sound of thunder could be heard rumbling.
Soon, a rift appeared in the dark cloud, and torrential rain poured down.
This was no ordinary rain, but Little Dragon’s sharp and unmatched scale armor.
Rather than saying it was raining, it was more like knives were falling down.
And these were the kinds of knives that could cut through iron like mud.
Even a slight graze could open up a bloody gash, horrible to behold.
After witnessing these four divine skills of Jiao Long, Li Chen’s gaze naturally focused, brimming with expectation.
He was very eager to know what divine skill Jiao Long’s fifth claw would awaken.
Little Dragon yawned in mid-air, slowly extending its fifth claw.
On this claw, a white light swirled.
At first, this white light was not very distinct, merely a halo covering it.
However, soon this white light, like a rising sun, became extraordinarily dazzling, making it impossible to keep one’s eyes open.
Soon, Little Dragon aimed this beam of light at the Demon Wolf King, who was fiercely fighting with Taotie.
However, since it had just awakened this fifth divine skill, it couldn’t control it skillfully yet.
Thus, the aim was slightly off.
It missed the Demon Wolf King and instead scorched Taotie.
Taotie looked at its scorched front paw, immediately bursting with anger, roaring towards the high-flying Little Dragon.
"You little dragon cub, what do you think you’re doing, rebelling?"
Before awakening this fifth divine skill, Little Dragon always followed Taotie around diligently.
Now, with just a shout, its body lost balance, nearly falling from the sky.
Seeing that most of its pups were dead or wounded, the Demon Wolf King realized it couldn’t fight alone, let out a low howl to call any surviving wolf pups, and retreated into the depths of the black forest with them.
Seeing the Demon Wolf King fleeing, Taotie couldn’t be bothered with Little Dragon anymore, it stepped back fiercely, leaped into the air, and dashed over swiftly.
Little Dragon saw this and also waved its claws to help Taotie intercept the Demon Wolf King.
As for Red Tiger, it chased after the remaining wolf pups.
The Demon Wolf King could only hold its own against Taotie, but now with Jiao Long joining the battle, it was no match.
After a fierce slaughter, it was tightly entangled by Jiao Long, unable to move.
Perhaps out of apology for the earlier friendly fire on Taotie, this time Jiao Long, known for being a glutton, surprisingly didn’t devour the Demon Wolf King, leaving it for Taotie instead.
Seeing Little Dragon being so understanding, Taotie imitated humans, saying something like "Good child," and enjoyed the feast heartily.
Witnessing this ridiculous scene, Li Chen and Xie Wanwan couldn’t help but laugh.
After everything was settled, they quickly traversed the black forest, heading towards the rear of the Daxi and Great Zhou Alliance.
In this black forest, it was mainly the Demon Wolf King and the Black Corner Blood Python competing for supremacy.
Now that these archenemies who had battled for hundreds of years both died, the remaining Demon Beasts could hardly stop Li Chen and his companions.
The majority fled at the sight of them!
Only a very few witless Demon Beasts dared to block the way.
Their fate, as expected, all ended up as sacrifices to Taotie’s belly.
Thus, after a day and a night, Li Chen and his group finally crossed the black forest.
Li Chen steadied his mind, looking into the distance, said, "Crossing the mountain peak ahead is the camp of the Daxi and Great Zhou Alliance!"
Xie Wanwan looked in the direction Li Chen pointed, nodded slightly like a pecking chick.
"Mhm, then we shouldn’t delay, let’s circle around now and catch them off guard!"
...
At the same time:
The three million troops of the Daxi and Great Zhou Alliance were camped in a relatively flat valley.
Moreover, they were camped continuously for thousands of miles, quite a spectacular sight.
Daa Wendong and Zhou Ding, the two commanders, were gathered together, discussing the next course of action.
Currently, they had been at a standstill with the Hann Dynasty’s army for three days and nights.
The previously aggressive Hann army, for some unknown reason, suddenly stopped attacking three days ago.
The opponents’ morale was high, and having only just stabilized their camp, they dared not charge rashly, leading to a standoff.
But going forward, how to fight this tough battle, neither Daa Wendong, the Daxi Dynasty’s commander, nor Zhou Ding, the Great Zhou Dynasty’s commander, had any idea.
Retreating would mean returning empty-handed, losing face for their respective nations, which was hard to accept.
Yet, without retreating, remaining in a deadlock wasn’t a solution either.
Zhou Ding pondered for a moment, saying, "The new king of the Hann Dynasty excels in decapitation strikes and blitzkrieg tactics. The Ninth Prince Wu Changwen of the Great Wu Dynasty, along with Zhenmen Pass’s Wuo Wenlong and Mighty King Wu Dingguo all perished due to this."
"Do you think Li Chen will use the same trick on us?"
Hearing Zhou Ding’s words, Daa Wendong was first taken aback.
However, he quickly burst into laughter.
Zhou Ding found Daa Wendong’s sudden laughter baffling.
He reflected carefully, confirmed he hadn’t misspoken, then immediately put on a stern face, full of anger, and asked sternly, "Daa Wendong, what are you laughing at, did I say something wrong?"
