Mu Yuan chose to deploy General Duo Lai, not only because Duo Lai currently holds the responsibility of combat power of the territory, but more importantly, Duo Lai has the ability to grow big and small. It could also greatly reduce its own weight through the body transformation ability brought by devouring, allowing the Hurricane War Hawk to easily carry it in flight.
If it was General Dead Bone, he would only have to utilize the ‘steamrolling’ method.
Even though this general prefers to battle defensively, he can only steamroll.
Duo Lai is not only light and easy to carry, but in terms of survival and escape abilities, it is stronger than Dead Bone, making tactical retreat much easier when the situation goes awry. Indeed, Duo Lai’s natural skills have all been allocated to areas that Dead Bone envies.
Gliding freely is the Hurricane War Hawk No. 2. It has no experience in delving deep into the Dark Forest, but Mu Yuan does.
Under his command as Lord Shepherd, this war hawk weaves through towering trees and cleverly avoids several places where occupational level monsters reside.
Before long, these ancient architectural ruins buried in the forest appeared in the sharp eyes of the Hurricane War Hawk.
What also appeared were monsters with crimson eyes, eager to pounce and bite.
“Now, throw it!”
“Chirp Chirp Chirp Chirp Chirp ”
The Hurricane War Hawk abruptly stops mid-air, releasing its claw that was gripping Duo Lai.
Duo Lai, shrunken to its smallest form, is thrown up by inertia, leaving a series of echoes in the air.
Next moment,
Duo Lai’s body rapidly returns to its normal size and then quickly swells up, resembling a small hill. Its body shimmers with a metallic hue, resulting in a drastic increase in hardness and weight, it accelerates using the Leap ability.
It slams down from the sky.
Boom !!!
The air strike by Duo Lai lands with full impact at this moment.
The earth shatters, a sky full of dust is kicked up, and countless branches and leaves shatter under Duo Lai’s strike, along with several werewolves and lizard-men.
“Chirp-<2( – h )3.”
Duo Lai returns to its normal size, extends a pair of massive arms, its gaze contemptuous as it slowly sweeps across the surrounding monsters.
With a swing of its giant palm, it blocks all the incoming arrows, then with another powerful sweep, it sends nearby werewolves and lizard-men flying like flies.
Even though it is facing countless enemies all by itself, it can still steamroll undefeatable.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh
Numerous spider webs descend, entrapping Duo Lai from all sides.
They’re incredibly tough!
Three enormous spiders, each as big as two trucks standing side by side, appear out of nowhere, their appearance horrifying.
The most formidable bipedal flying dragon is also closing in, its eyes ferocious, and its mouth half-open spewing out orange flames.
There are a total of four occupational level monsters!
There are also a large number of common monsters of levels seven, eight and nine!
This is the real danger that one encounters when leaving the territory and delving deeply into the wilderness!
Duo Lai began to panic.
It knows how to fight any enemy individually, but facing a group of powerful monsters at once…
“Chirp, chirp?!”
It yells incessantly in the Spiritual Link.
But there’s no need for it to yell, Mu Yuan has already seen everything on the battlefield through the camera on the Hurricane War Hawk.
Duo Lai is indeed intelligent, just insufficiently so.
“Use fire.”
“Your flame power is not strong enough, but if you ignite it on your palms, it should suffice to burn off the webs.”
Fire is exceptionally effective against spider webs!
Duo Lai quickly ignited the flames on its palms and struggled to break free from the webs.
But the Bipedal flying dragon has already arrived, opening its mouth and releasing an inferno of flames.
“Don’t try to devour these flames, dodge to the side, utilize your agility!”
Upon hearing the command, Duo Lai, unable to comprehend with its small brain, responded instinctively it shrank its body again and sprung to the
side like a coil launching.
Leaving a sky full of flames to explode behind it.
Continuing to artfully escape, while the sky is lit up with the orange flames that trailed behind like a long snake, nipping at its heels.
Duo Lai runs, the dragon pursues, and flames fill the sky.
Before long, the flames became larger and burned fiercer, gradually engulfing the surrounding spiders and werewolves as well.
This is his tactic!
Mu Yuan narrowed his eyes, he noticed it while controlling the Hurricane War Hawk.
“This bipedal flying dragon can spew a lot of fire and likes to spray flames everywhere.”
“And once a big fire starts, the ones who get hurt first are these fire-fearing spiders! In comparison, Duo Lai, who has devoured fireballs many times, already has a strong resistance to fire.”
The bipedal flying dragon started to hit its own teammates hard!
Three professional-level spiders, which were quite tricky for Duo Lai, were on their last breaths in a blink of an eye. The other ordinary-level werewolves and lizardmen were almost wiped out.
Under Mu Yuan’s command, Duo Lai used a palm technique that rained from the heavens, smashing the three massive spiders one by one.
Then turned to look at the last bipedal flying dragon.
“Gurgling-!” (Only you, the big guy, is left!)
Duo Lai regained its invincible heart and adopted a stance.
O invincible Lord, teach me what to do next, gurgling-!
“Arm catapult!”
After dodging another burst of flame, Duo Lai’s shaping arm instantly stretched like a rubber band, grabbing the dragon’s two feet.
And pulled it hard down!
Boom !
The airborne flying dragon suddenly fell to the ground, the whole dragon was stunned. The next moment, its blurred vision saw a giant palm falling from the sky.
“Gurgling?”
“It’s not that easy, this bipedal flying dragon is high-level. Take its life directly while this sneak attack is successful.”
“Gurgling!”
Thump thump thump thump thump xio!
Duo Lai’s God Palm ten-hit combo!
After ten hits, the bipedal flying dragon was still hanging by a thread, not totally dead.
Duo Lai was panting on this side.
“Duo Lai’s attack power is indeed not strong enough, it’s a jack of all trades but a master of none.”
After all, Duo Lai is just a greenhand, still in the promising future category.
As the bipedal flying dragon was losing the will to live, and its scarlet eyes began to fade, Duo Lai finally sent off this formidable enemy.
Showing off its invincible posture.
After sending off the enemy, it was Duo Lai’s favorite part – the loot collection stage.
It held a storage pouch, picking up the resulting Soul Sand and Remnant Soul one by one. It also didn’t overlook some ancient relics and fragments that seemed remarkable around it.
Take it, all of it!
But this storage pouch is small and can’t hold much. It can’t carry too much itself, otherwise, the Hurricane War Hawk might not be able to fly.
…This is what the Lord said.
So Duo Lai had no choice but to go deeper into the ruins.
The commotion from the great battle just now attracted all the monsters in the area, causing the entire ancient architectural ruins to fall into silence. The only sound was the crackling fire casting a red glow which formed a beautiful contrast with the sparse light diffused from the profound boundary in the distance.
There was a man sitting in front of the boundary!
His face was thin, and his armor was tattered, but despite this… there was still a strong oppressive aura radiating from him.
This is…
A corpse!
Duo Lai initially made a tactful retreat, but after glancing a few times and realizing it was just a corpse, it plucked up the courage to approach and investigate.
The situation of the corpse coming to life didn’t happen.
However, Duo Lai found a line of words carved into the floor in front of the body.
It was a script widely circulated among various civilizations on the Eternal Continent.
The erudite Lord Shepherd had some knowledge about it… or he could look up references on the spot.
“I have buried important things inside… whoever comes after me can open the boundary… and take them. The method to open the boundary is…”
The writing ends here.
And the mystery man had died thoroughly.
Who likes a riddle? Get off the Eternal Continent!
