N-A-A Chapter 11 Kill
Chapter 11 Kill
When A Yong started running, he left his martial spirit hammer on the ground. He believed that with Xiao Yan's skills, dodging the slow-moving dragon lizard would be more than enough, but he still had to keep a backup plan. He hoped that the dragon lizard would not be interested in chasing after Xiao Yan, who had been instigated to run away, and would instead follow his martial spirit to chase after him.
This was the only way he could think of to protect Xiao Yan. He believed in him, but he didn't want his little brother to be in danger. After all, he was a level 14 Soul Master, which was much better than Xiao Yan's ability to survive without a Soul Ring.
But after running for more than ten minutes, he belatedly realized that something was wrong. Logically speaking, after he had lured it like that, the dragon lizard did try to chase him at first, but after he rested, he saw a bunch of other miscellaneous soul beasts, but the dragon lizard was nowhere to be seen.
"The rain is getting heavier. If we stay hidden, we shouldn't be discovered."
It was only afternoon, but the surroundings were already dark, with only a few flashes of lightning bringing brief moments of light.
Stepping onto the muddy road, A Yong was still worried about Xiao Yan. After hesitating for a moment, he turned around and started walking back the way he came...
The Crimson Flame Dragon Lizard made a gurgling sound from its throat, almost exactly the same as the sound of lava that Xiao Yan heard on television.
"Rolling Beast, jump away! That guy's about to breathe fire!" Xiao Yan had just spoken when scorching flames rushed towards his face.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Yan quickly hid behind a rock that was big enough to shield him, but he could still feel the heat coming from his back.
When the flames died down, Xiao Yan turned around and saw that the stone that had protected him was now blackened to the point of being charred, and even had some cracks.
"Is this the power a 500-year-old soul beast should possess?"
Xiao Yan remembered that Tang San's first soul ring, which granted him the soul skill Entanglement over four hundred years ago, was only the strength of a few vines. But was this dragon lizard in front of him a bit exaggerated?
Fortunately, after fighting it for so long, I only saw it spew out such a blazing flame once; the other flames were just a pale red, so it seems to be a skill that can't be used often.
Just as A Yong thought, the Crimson Flame Dragon Lizard did not chase him, but instead chased Xiao Yan, whose soul power was weaker. This was partly because Xiao Yan did not focus on escaping, but simply fled to a relatively higher and wider hillside.
On the other hand, it's because of his martial soul. Although it looks like a ball beast, the entire family's evolutionary chain is dragons, so it's normal for it to be targeted by dragon lizards.
"This beast really wants to eat us."
"I feel like I'm not even enough to fill its teeth, Xiao Yan, what should we do?" The rolling beast jumped back onto Xiao Yan's head.
Xiao Yan and the Rolling Ball Beast originally intended to attack the dragon lizard's abdomen in the same way they killed the Fiery Giant Lizard, but without A Yong's restraint, they were ultimately somewhat powerless. In addition, the small size of this soul beast made it more agile, making it even less likely for them to succeed.
The dragon lizard made no further move, but lay on the ground panting, as if the flames it had just expelled had exhausted it. However, Xiao Yan dared not gamble; such a somewhat intelligent soul beast might be treacherous. Thus, the two beasts and one person remained locked in a stalemate.
"Koromon, do you remember what I told you before?"
"It's possible, but the lizard's scales are too thick; my bubbles won't harm it at all."
"You don't need to cause any damage. You don't even need to target the dragon lizard. Just get out of the way and wait for my instructions."
So the rolling ball beast obediently moved from Xiao Yan's head to another open space.
Seeing the dragon lizard's eyes fixed on the rolling ball beast, Xiao Yan knew that the other party didn't take him seriously at all.
"Hey, you beast, look here!"
Xiao Yan threw out two copper needles. The dragon lizard glared at Xiao Yan and easily turned its body. The copper needles, which had been aimed at its eyes, pierced into its scales. However, such a small creature could not cause much damage. Sure enough, the copper needles only penetrated a few millimeters into the scales. The dragon lizard then twisted its body, and the two copper needles were easily ejected.
"No wonder they're so fearless."
The throw just now probably only used more than half of his strength. He didn't expect that he could blind the dragon lizard with just these two needles. Besides, if such a powerful soul beast went blind, it might breathe fire randomly, which would be extremely difficult for him to deal with.
But this serves as a test, and now he has roughly determined the thickness and hardness of the lizard's scales.
"With just a little more force, relying on the barbs of the copper needle, it can be driven deep into its scales and even its flesh, and then..."
Xiao Yan looked up at the sky, where lightning flashed and thunder roared, and torrential rain relentlessly pounded on his face.
It was truly fortunate, as such a torrential downpour that lasted all day was quite rare.
The dragon lizard seemed to have finished resting. It watched Xiao Yan flick its tongue, its claws scraping the ground, and then pounced on Xiao Yan from both sides.
"A good opportunity."
Xiao Yan rolled to the side, and the copper needles in his hand poured out, deeply piercing the scaled or scaleless skin of the Crimson Flame Dragon Lizard.
Ten.
Twenty.
Sixty...
Faced with Xiao Yan's overwhelming barrage of copper needles, the dragon lizard initially tried to dodge, but after taking a few needles and finding that it didn't hurt, it simply stopped dodging and let Xiao Yan turn it into a hedgehog.
Although it doesn't hurt, you would still get annoyed if you were bitten by ants dozens of times.
The dragon lizard opened its massive mouth, the flames within it eager to incinerate the human who was jumping around like a monkey.
Seeing the copper needles densely covering the main areas of the dragon lizard, Xiao Yan called out the ready-to-go Rolling Beast.
"Koromon, jump onto its back and use Bubble towards the sky!"
Having received the command, the Rolling Beast was already in a tree. It leaped down and landed steadily on the dragon lizard's back. The impact was nothing to the dragon lizard, which was covered in scales. It didn't even care about the extra weight on its back.
Koromon then used its skill towards the clearing above the hillside.
The bubbles formed a line, slightly spaced apart yet perfectly aligned.
Just then, the lightning in the sky seemed to sense this area and intentionally fell in this direction. It followed the bubbles in the sky and shot straight to the Crimson Flame Dragon Lizard in the very center of the open space. At the same time, Xiao Yan also teleported the Rolling Ball Beast, which was on the dragon lizard, back to his side.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Xiao Yan only felt a flash before his eyes, accompanied by the painful roar of the soul beast, and then the smell of burnt raw meat wafted into his nose.
The dragon lizard's raging flames, which had just been brewing in its mouth, were abruptly forced back. Due to the excessive force, the entire soul beast collapsed helplessly to the ground.
The reason for all this was naturally the copper needle that Xiao Yan had been planning for several days. He deliberately chose this thunderstorm weather so that the lightning would follow the rolling ball beast's bubble along the copper needle, filling the current damage gap and thus delivering a fatal blow to the soul beast.
"I'm telling you, never underestimate human wisdom."
