The Ruihu Dragon Beast let out a painful wail, but relying on its Dragon Beast physique, it quickly suppressed the magic power again, and with a sudden Dump of its body, it flung Commander Guli away.
Its fleeing footsteps stopped, because it realized that it couldn't escape without dealing with these crawling insects, let alone running away with its son.
It then exerted force and leaped upwards, once again dodging a sword qi that the Earl had unleashed while it was wailing.
The Ruihu Dragon Beast used this leap to suspend itself with magic power, walking on air as if on solid ground, running swiftly in mid-air, like flying.
Upon evolving to the peak Dragon Beast stage, one can rely on magic power to walk on air as if on solid ground, like flying.
It hadn't flown before entirely because it was injured, and it was afraid its son couldn't keep up, and the distance between them would grow too wide.
It gathered power in its mouth again, this time not to release gravel, but to continuously condense a spherical stone in front of its mouth, which it then shot towards Naz, growing larger and larger during its flight.
“As expected, how cunning, knowing to attack Naz first to make me lose my aerial combat ability. Fortunately, it’s wild and from the mountains, so it doesn't have much experience fighting humans,” the Earl communicated with Naz telepathically, telling him to turn his back towards the stone, and then swung his sword with all his might to cut the stone in half.
After cutting the stone, they saw the Rui Tiger Beast, which had flown over with the stone, raising its left claw, with a yellowish-brown glow emanating from it, striking fiercely.
The Earl quickly raised his sword to block, but was struck down by the immense force, sending both him and the eagle crashing to the ground with a whoosh, creating a huge crater.
The Earl in the crater let out a painful groan; the immense impact felt as if all the bones in his body were about to fall apart.
But telepathically, the Earl was communicating with Naz, telling him to launch several wind blades in the direction of their fall, and to also blow away the smoke and dust in the crater, otherwise, with their vision obscured, the Ruihu Dragon Beast was very likely to rush down and finish them off.
Meanwhile, Naz felt as if his entire life was flashing before his eyes; the claw marks on his back were bone-deep, and he didn't know how many bones were broken inside his body, but he still listened to the Earl's words in his mind, enduring the immense pain throughout his body, he forcefully stabilized his breathing, gathered magic power, and released several wind blades from his mouth, scattering them in the direction of their fall.
Evidently, the Earl's decision was correct; the wind blades blew away the smoke and dust, interrupting the Ruihu Dragon Beast's dive, forcing it to land at the edge of the crater.
The Ruihu Dragon Beast sensed that the Earl's aura in the crater was not chaotic, so it did not choose to attack blindly, but instead walked clockwise around the edge of the crater, exposing the side with the knight's long spear stuck in its right side.
The Earl in the pit, due to the mithril armor he was wearing, had not sustained any scratches, and Naz had cushioned the fall, so only a little blood had been shaken from his internal organs.
Knowing that this Ruihu Dragon Beast was extremely cunning, and that the long spear was clearly a deliberate opening, he did not act rashly.
Only Naz was flapping his wings, trying to stand up, but because his wings had been pierced by gravel earlier, coupled with the severe pain in his body and back, he was unable to stand.
He flapped a few more times until he heard the Earl in his mind tell him not to stand up, but instead to gather magic power, ready to launch support at any time, only then did he calm down.
This led to the current harmonious situation.
And in this harmonious situation, neither side noticed a figure slowly flying over from the direction of the castle in the sky; it was another Hurricane Eagle, this one named Juanfu, who was Naz's wife, whom he had abducted from the forest ten years ago.
Clutched in its talons was a person, none other than Allen, who held an apple-sized unstable ore in his hand, precisely the family treasure the Earl was preparing to retrieve.
In this world, besides metal ore deposits infected by dragons, some small ore veins can naturally form. There are also legends that dragons originated from these small ore veins, but to this day, no one knows if this is true.
Unstable ore is a product rarely condensed in small ore veins, with a maximum size of a basketball, possessing immense power, akin to a small nuclear bomb in another world.
The first Tricolor Violet Family head, whose strength was not great and whose title was merely a Baronet, accidentally discovered a small copper ore vein, and this vein produced three unstable ores, one the size of a football and two the size of apples.
However, the ancestor knew that a Baronet could absolutely not guard this small copper mine, and even secretly mining it would be exposed sooner or later, so he made a decisive decision: he presented the largest unstable ore to the then Black Heart Iron Duke and informed the Duke of the mine's location.
After confirming the truth of the news, the Duke enfeoffed the ancestor as a Baron, and bestowed upon him the maple forest to the southeast, and two viola Small Elves, thus establishing the current Tricolor Violet Family.
Allen, hanging from the talons, looked at the large pit in the distance, but in his heart, he thought, “Fortunately, the fields here are still being fertilized, and only pasture seeds have been sown in them, otherwise, how much grain seed would be wasted?”
After sighing for a while, he realized something was wrong, “Shouldn’t I be lamenting the power of the Dragon Beast first? Why am I still thinking about the land now? Could it be that the 5000-year-old farming gene, even with soul transmigration and no body, still exists?”
And at the pit, both sides remained harmonious, each waiting for the other to reveal a weakness.
“Ow-woo,” at that moment, a panicked and mournful sound rang out, coming from the smaller Rui Tiger Beast.
The Ruihu Dragon Beast immediately stopped and looked towards the source of the sound. And the weakness it had deliberately exposed earlier truly became a weakness.
Naz accelerated his attack, and the wind blade he had gathered in his mouth flew directly towards the Rui Tiger Beast.
At the same time, the Earl leaped up, suspended in the air, and swung a sword qi slash towards the knight's spear on the Rui Tiger Beast's right side.
The distracted Ruihu Dragon Beast did not dodge these attacks and was directly knocked off balance, with the long spear on its body already embedded more than halfway.
After stabilizing its body, the Ruihu Dragon Beast let out a fierce roar, completely enraged, and lunged at the Earl.
The Earl held his sword to block, and sparks flew as the claw and sword clashed, but he was still knocked away by the force. The Earl hadn't flown far when the claw caught up again, and with another strike, it slammed the Earl heavily to the ground.
Boom! Another giant pit!
Then, it gathered power in its mouth, aiming at the Earl in the pit, and regardless of how severe its own injuries were, it prepared to release the magic unique to Dragon Beasts.
The Ruihu Dragon Beast condensed a rock spear in front of its mouth; the spear emitted a chilling aura, and its tip was incredibly sharp, piercing the air with a shrill sound.
If this spear were thrust out, the Earl would absolutely not be able to block it.
At this critical moment, an apple-sized stone suddenly appeared before the Ruihu Dragon Beast’s eyes, but it felt a huge threat, and hastily canceled the spear’s condensation, instead condensing a rock armor around its body.
A blindingly bright light suddenly erupted, like a newborn mini-sun.
Then, a tremendous roar, like ten thousand thunders striking at once, deafening, as if to shatter the entire world.
