Chapter 867 - Opening of the Domain, Bristleback Dragon (5)
Chapter 867 “Opening of the Domain, Bristleback Dragon (5)”
Tightly gripping her fist, Bai Yan scans the area some more and found even more ancient monsters standing around. These things should all be extinct according to her knowledge.
“It’s no wonder no one ever made it out of the Holy Domain, this must be an ancient battlefield. If any ordinary person steps in here then they would die ten out of ten times!”
“GRRRARGHHHH!” Perhaps able to sense the uninvited guest coming into their home, the creatures all growled menacingly and rushed the intruder.
“Shit!” Swinging her head around, she could already see the sharp spikes of the Bristleback Dragon sweeping over in an attempt to slash her apart.
Under this moment of distress, Bai Yan could not care about so much anymore. Drawing her sword in haste, she uses it to block the offending attack only to discover the thorny spikes from the dragon’s claw piercing right through the shiny steel that made up her sword. Now not only was her weapon severely damaged, her chest was now also pierced to some degree by the claw.
However, risk also comes with opportunities. During this brief exchange, she’s discovered something off about this place.
“Why are these creatures only at this level? According to the rumors, any demon beast able to be recorded in the old texts should be at the Celestial Rank or higher. Is the Holy Domain suppressing their powers?” Squinting her eyes into a narrow slit, that lip instantly curled into a smirk despite the blood on her clothes: “If that’s the case then I still have a chance!”
Wasting not another second, she swiftly and smoothly pulled out a bottle of medication from her storage bag. There’s no need to hesitate here. Stuffing every single pill into her mouth, she allows the surge of unbridle energy to explode out of her body.
Normally these pills which was used to enhance her physical strength and endurance could only be taken one at a time, otherwise the side effects would be quite heavy after half an hour later. Even so, critical situations called for extreme measures, and this was that case!
“This time I like to see if I’m harder or you’re harder!” Slamming the little bottle to the floor and smashing it to pieces, Bai Yan wipes the trickle of blood from her mouth and begins her carnage.
Leaping over the rest, the first target was the Bristleback Dragon swooping down from above like a lightning bolt. She didn’t get penetrated by the thorny spikes like others would come to expect of this full-on charge. Instead, her hands reached downwards after landing on the dragon’s back and forcefully ripped one of the damn things off – skin and all – before tossing it down to the mob of monsters!
Just like the weakness of having low fertility, the thorny spikes were the dragon’s greatest weapon but also its lethal weakness during combat. Sure, the scales are harder than metal and the spikes are sharper than a blade, but they’re still attacked to skin and flesh! If one had the arm strength then ripping these blades off like one would scale a porcupine. It’s no different!
Of course, not everyone could achieve such a grand feat of overcoming one of the greatest monsters of the ancient era, otherwise this breed of dragons wouldn’t be called an immortal monster back in the day.
