Chapter 334 - Dragon Realm
Chapter 334: Dragon Realm
The Horned Eagle was a sea eagle with a lone horn on its head. It was naturally fierce, and fed on sea snakes and fish. It was about the size of a calf, looking a little like a flying beast, or a deer with wings.
Its powerful claws were lethal weapons when it came to capturing prey. As it dove down from high up in the air, it could not only quickly kill the prey on the surface of the sea using the powerful diving force, it could also chase its prey down under the water and kill those attempting to escape. It was rumored that the greatest Horned Eagles could dive up to five meters into the water to pursue their prey, and when they rose, all it took was a little shake to remove the water from their bodies.
Other than the sharp claws, their woodpecker-like beaks were also fatal weapons. Often times, they would bring their prey into the sky with their sharp claws after swooping down, then forcefully stab them with their beaks to ensure that the prey had completely lost the strength to retaliate.
Incredible speed, sharp claws, woodpecker-like beak…
To the horde of sea snakes, the sudden appearance of the Horned Eagles was simply a calamity, all of them diving into the sea fearfully in an attempt to escape. Only a group of relatively bigger snakes gathered around the Golden Giant Dragon, shooting out bolts after bolts of sharp water arrows, trying to chase their mortal enemies away.
There were many Magical Beasts that could bear a vengeance, but not many of them were as stubborn as manic as the sea snakes!
In order to seek revenge from the giant python that had died miserably, they had followed behind the fleet of ships for three full days, spending much of their effort to gather all of the sea snakes from the nearby seas. Now that the entire fleet was about to be destroyed, how would they bear to miss such a good opportunity?
Unfortunately, faced with a large group of their mortal enemies that was the Horned Eagles, the sea snakes were no match for them, no matter how many of their own there were!
Even though the number of Horned Eagles present was far lesser than the horde of sea snakes, they had the advantage in their sharp attacks and their ability to attack and retreat at will, giving them an active position on the battlefield. Under their sharp attacks, motionless corpses of sea snakes soon floated on the surface of the sea, their raw red blood dying the seawater red.
“Sir, other than hunting fish and sea snakes, the fierce Horned Eagles would also attack fishermen out at sea if they are hungry. Now that they are attacking the sea snakes, it is best that we leave this area!” After his surprise, Ashnamov’s expression turned grim once again as he looked at the large group of ferocious Horned Eagles. It would be too unlucky if they were to face the attacks of a large group of Horned Eagles after just having escaped the threat of the snakes.
They would also attack humans?
Ashnamov was very worried, while Yang Ling had a glint in his eyes.
Travelling on such a vast sea, he had to have giant pythons like the Black Mamba Giant Python that could obtain intelligence from deep under the sea. However, he definitely could not miss flying beasts like the Horned Eagles. If he tamed a group of Horned Eagles, he might be able to form a team of aerial strikers within his naval force given a little training, giving their fleet protection.
Should I command the Magical Beast Army to swarm forward, or…
Yang Ling knit his brows in deliberation after ordering the fleet to retreat away from the battleground of the sea snakes and the Horned Eagles.
The advantage of the sea snakes had been lost. If he did not attack now, he would not only lose the chance to tame the Black Mamba Giant Pythons that could dive deep into the sea, it was also extremely likely that he would become the next prey of the many Horned Eagles; However, if he were to act recklessly, he might attract the attention of the large group of Horned Eagles before the right opportunity and bring about trouble to himself.
“Sir, I succeeded, Sir…”
Just as Yang Ling was ordering the fleet to retreat and hesitating on whether to attack or not, the Dark Dragon King’s voice suddenly came into his mind. After forming a hand gesture, the ferocious Dark Dragon King immediately appeared before him, scaring the already nervous troops.
“Sir, I’ve succeeded, I’ve finally succeeded in cultivating the Dragon Realm!” The Dark Dragon King flew up and down, extremely excited, then instinctively cast the Dragon Realm that it had just learnt. In that instant, the soldiers on the ship felt as though a formless pressure was crashing toward them. They found it hard to even breathe, much less move.
Gravity Restriction?
Multiple restrictions consisting of five times the gravity, and a mental attack?
After feeling the power of the Dark Dragon King’s so-called Dragon Realm, Yang Ling had a glint in his eyes. He did not expect that the Dark Dragon King would cultivate the legendary domain after consuming the Ancient Wood Dragon Crystal.
According to the memories of the Dark Dragon King, the dragon tribe had a long lifespan and would one day advance to become Level Surpassing Magical Beasts as long as they consumed a large amount of energy. However, the Dragon Realm was different. There was a possibility that not even one in a thousand giant dragons would be able to cultivate the extremely powerful Dragon Realm. The legendary Holy Dragon was only became the envoy of the Dragon God because it was born with the Dragon Realm, obtaining the respect of the various giant dragon clans.
The Dragon Realm a dragon could learn differed with the various kinds of giant dragons. Unlike the Mind Magic Field of the Corpse Wizard King that focused on mental attacks, the Dragon Realm of the Dark Dragon King Rake placed an emphasis on the control of power. Within the Dragon Realm, the speed and power of the enemies would be severely weakened, while the Dark Dragon King would be in its own element, its abilities increased several times!
The Dark Dragons were already hailed as the Magical Beasts that had the best physical abilities. Now that it had successfully fused with the Ancient Wood Dragon Crystal that granted high speed regeneration, coupled with the powerful Dark Dragon Domain, just how powerful would it be?
“Ashnamov, lead the fleet and retreat quickly, no one is to get close without my orders!” In his elation, Yang Ling got onto the Dark Dragon King, speaking as he quickly left, heading straight toward the Golden Giant Python not far away.
With the powerful Dark Dragon King, Yang Ling was confident that he would be able to severely injure the Golden Giant Python and tame it within a short period of time. He was also confident that he would be able to use the same method on the bunch of Horned Eagles soaring in the sky.
Roar…
Under Yang Ling’s command, the Dark Dragon King took to the skies, then charged down fast as lightning after locking on to the Golden Giant Python on the surface of the sea battling with a few of the Horned Eagles. It headed straight for the unsuspecting target like a bullet, bringing with it a string of afterimages and a deafening sonic boom, dumbfounding the soldiers on the ship.
Hiss…
After striking down a Horned Eagle with a powerful water arrow, looking at the countless floating corpses of the sea snakes on the surface of the water, the Golden Giant Dragon understood that it had lost. It had just wanted to get the pythons around it to leave quickly when it suddenly felt a sense of threat, instinctively fighting to dive into the water. Unfortunately, it was too late!
With a rumble, the Dark Dragon King that had cast the Dragon Realm crashed into the surface of the water without fear, extending its claws and clutching on the Golden Giant Python that had been unable to avoid the attack in time tightly. It brought the python into the sky in the blink of an eye, pulling its nearly hundred-meter-long body fully out of the water. The waves that it created pushed the surrounding giant pythons far away. Even a few Horned Eagles that were flying low were not spared.
“My god, such a large python, this must be the king of the Black Mambas in this area!”
“That’s right, this must be the rare Python King!”
…
Looking at the Golden Giant Python that the Dark Dragon King had picked up struggling maniacally in the air, the soldiers lost their voices in shock. Even though they had already mentally prepared themselves, no one expected that python to be this massive!
Snakes were afraid of being shaken!
The Golden Giant Python struggled with unjust after being caught up into the air, but its body soon turned limp after a rough shake by the Dark Dragon King, giving Yang Ling the opportunity to tame it.
If even the Python King was not a match for the Dark Dragon King, then the rest of the pythons were even more helpless. In the blink of an eye, Yang Ling had successfully tamed over twenty pythons that were dozens of meters long with the help of the Dark Dragon King. He then started to attack the Horned Eagles that had spread out to consume the corpses of the pythons.
Roar…
The Horned Eagles were naturally fierce. After Yang Ling successively injured and tamed a dozen of them, the creature in the lead let out a loud roar, getting the rest of the Horned Eagles to surround and attack the Dark Dragon King. Even though their sharp claws and woodpecker-like beaks were unable to pierce through the Dark Dragon King’s scales, their attacks did leave their marks, letting out a deafening sound of scratching glass.
“Ice Sealing the Environment!”
Faced with the embattlement and attacks of the many Horned Eagles, Yang Ling instinctively unleashed the Ice-sealing Domain of the Ice-sealing Throne. A startling scene ensued!
Perhaps it was because he had tamed the Dark Dragon King, the Ice-sealing Domain fused perfectly with the Dark Dragon King’s Dragon Realm. The Ice-sealing Domain drastically dropped the surrounding temperature. Wherever it passed, all of the Horned Eagles seemed to have been hit by a high-level ice magic, their movements sluggish; The Dark Dragon King’s Dragon Realm increased the gravity affecting the Horned Eagles, making it difficult for them to fly, their offensive capabilities decreasing greatly.
With the restrictions from the two domains, coupled with the retaliation of the Dark Dragon King and the combined attacks of flying Magical Beasts like the Twin-legged Flying Dragons, Self-destructing bats and Horned Bee Beasts, and combined with the Group Mirror Magic of the Thousand-faced Mink, the Horned Eagles that were caught off guard were not a match for Yang Ling. Merely the duo of Yang Ling and the Dark Dragon King gave them a world of trouble!
After severely injuring the Horned Eagle leading the group, the outcome was clear. Soon, Yang Ling had successfully tamed over two hundred Horned Eagles.
Killing the terrifying Golden Giant Python within a short period of time, exterminating over two hundred Horned Eagles in an instant. After personally witnessing how powerful the leader Yang Ling was, the soldiers cheered loudly, completely riled up.
The Frogmen who had just joined the Magical Beast Territory were extremely excited. At this moment, they knew just why their clan leader’s decision to join the territory was so brilliant. Being able to follow such a heroic leader in his conquest was the hope of many hot-blooded warriors!
After instructing the Twin-legged Flying Dragons to be alert of the surroundings, Yang Ling kept the rest of the Magical Beasts, ordering Ashnamov to lead men in cleaning up the battlefield. This time, not only did he manage to fight off the acts of revenge of the horde of snakes, he had also reversed the misfortune and obtained a generous reward.
After scooping up the python corpses floating on the surface of the water, he could dig out their Essence Crystals and sell them or send them to the military factory to be processed into magical staffs. The skins could be sliced off and turned into sturdy inner armor; The meat could be made into rations, or sent into the Wizard Pagoda’s Space for the Magical Beast Army to feed on.
More importantly, he had managed to tame over twenty giant pythons and a large bunch of Horned Eagles in this battle. After this, after their injuries recovered, he could not only create the first deep sea diving team in the Magical Beast Territory; He could also train several Frogmen into a team of Horned Eagle Knights, creating the first aerial unit in his naval force, providing the fleet with aerial support.
The sea is too interesting!
After taking a sip of rum, looking at the vast ocean, Yang Ling was filled with anticipation for the future of this journey!
