Chapter 334: Offspring of a True Dragon Lord? My name is Lost-God Kempulite

Boom!

The roar was deafening, and the impact produced by the fist wind overturned all the tables and food around, emitting a huge vibration.

Seeing Ya Ya Laer and Clan Leader Dielong were both blown away by the shockwave simultaneously, falling to the ground and rolling several times in a sorry state.

"Ah!"

Clan Leader Dielong screamed and fainted.

Seeing Ya Ya Laer only felt her blood surging through her whole body. She propped up her upper body and looked at Little Nick with hair standing on end, full of disbelief and horror.

The sleeping crowd in the oasis also woke up, one by one frozen in place uncontrollably, full of confusion and fear.

A terrifying sense of oppression permeated!

"You, you are not Little Nick." Seeing Ya Ya Laer's voice trembled.

Little Nick was just an ordinary child!

And the Little Nick in front of her felt too terrifying. Just standing there gave Seeing Ya Ya Laer a sense of powerlessness that she couldn't resist.

As if it were the superior suppression of a carnivore against a herbivore, there was only the result of being captured and waiting for death.

Looking down at his fist.

"The touch is wrong."

Little Nick frowned.

"Air Blast Palm" does not directly contact the opponent. This is a move that prevents negative effects caused by touch, but he could still feel the feedback produced by the attack.

Little Nick's face sank, and he walked toward the position where Tang Zheng was blasted away calmly, ignoring the terrified panting of the humans behind him and Seeing Ya Ya Laer's trembling inquiry.

A group of inferior creatures, who would care about bugs?

It looked like he was walking, but he was actually very fast.

Two or three breaths.

Little Nick's figure had already arrived at the position where Tang Zheng was. In the soft desert, a large pit appeared.

Inside lay a corpse half-covered by sand, with a clear depression visible on the chest, and large patches of clothes stained red with blood.

—The death was miserable.

Seeing this corpse.

"There is such magic? Oh haha, too interesting."

"You group of inferior creatures always provide some fun from time to time."

While speaking, Little Nick's eyeballs moved, locking onto a small sand dune in the northwest position.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

"Magic Arrow · Fire"

Three red streams of light suddenly flew out from behind the sand dune, and the piercing sound of breaking air struck, all accurately hitting Little Nick.

Bang—

The three magic arrows shattered upon contact, turning into faint magic power and dissipating.

Tang Zheng's figure walked out from behind the sand dune.

"Unharmed? Is it magic nullification... no?"

Tang Zheng narrowed his eyes, using "Ninja · Detection" to observe the changes in Little Nick's aura. After being attacked, there was not a trace of exhaustion in his aura:

"Fire attribute nullification? What a terrifying surprise."

In the visual of detection.

Little Nick's whole body was wrapped in a flame-like life energy, constantly rising, a life aura far exceeding the Heroic Realm level.

This level is... about 45lv!

Tang Zheng was stunned in his heart, looking at the information that had just appeared on the attribute panel.

"'Qi Perception'?"

"And the 'Air Blast Palm' just now, it is a class construction of the monk system."

Tang Zheng made a quick judgment, somewhat surprised and alert. He didn't expect such a powerhouse of this level to exist in this Valley of Despair.

Among the powerhouses encountered so far, the other party's strength was second only to the Ancient Fire Dragon and the Sun Angler!

"First discovered the abnormality of the corpse, then used 'Qi Perception' to determine my position, so he himself also has a considerable degree of keen intuition."

Tang Zheng used the magic power system 【Illusionist】 to cast the magic "Feign Death," creating a fake corpse that was completely realistic visually.

It was within his expectations that it didn't fool the other party, but it also obtained a certain amount of intelligence in disguise.

Now the intelligence is unknown!

A level of about 45lv, wanting to solve the opponent would likely require exposing part of his strength.

No!

Unable to determine the other party's identity, and whether there are companions?

Looking at Tang Zheng, who was covered in sand and in a sorry state but had not suffered any serious injuries, Little Nick's expression changed.

He had obtained detailed intelligence about this foreign human from the oasis humans. Logically speaking, the other party shouldn't have been able to block his punch!

These inferior creatures, who were clearly like dry branches and could be broken into two with a casual move, the other party actually blocked it.

Used some kind of magic item?

"What stupid thing are you doing?"

"This kind of fragile magic, even if released tens of thousands of times, cannot kill me."

Little Nick said with disgust, staring at Tang Zheng with cold eyes: "It's very boring here. A human who pops up is indeed worth exploring."

"Can you tell me, where did you come from?"

"Actually daring to destroy my plan!"

Plan?

What plan.

"You are not human!"

Tang Zheng was full of seriousness. He needed to extract intelligence from the other party. He clearly used an inquiring tone, but it was exceptionally affirmative.

He made this judgment because it was impossible for humans to exceed the level of a "transcendent."

Additionally.

The other party disguised himself as a human, and Tang Zheng indeed didn't notice anything unusual.

There was no prompt on the attribute panel, and there was only one possibility for this situation: the other party used a pan-magic skill, similar to a talent or race ability.

"How could I be an inferior creature like you! Damn it, damn it!!"

Little Nick seemed to have suffered some kind of insult, his facial expression full of distortion: "It's all because of you damn humans that I have been trapped here!"

"It's all because of you—you destroyed my plan!"

Click—click—

The petite human body began to expand at a speed visible to the naked eye, cracks appeared on the surface of the skin, and the external disguise disappeared completely.

The body grew two meters in the blink of an eye!

The pupils turned golden, the whole body was covered with a layer of fine dark golden scales, developed and powerful muscles, and a short tail.

The head was completely beast-like, with upward-curving horns on both sides of the head!

The terrifying aura made the air heavy, air waves rose, and the desert under the other party's feet formed circular ripples and spread!

Seeing this exceptionally conspicuous appearance!

"Dragonman?" Tang Zheng.

How could there be a Dragonman race in this place? The problem is, does the Other World have a Dragonman race!

—It is indeed possible!

Dragon Lords can all communicate deeply with any creature. For example, the Dragon Queen of the Dragon Kingdom and the Lizardman Crusch Lulu both have dragon blood in their bodies.

The problem is!

The other party's level is as high as 45lv, a level that is already comparable to some older dragons!

Offspring of a True Dragon Lord?

The amount of information is a bit large.

Tang Zheng's gaze was solemn. He stepped on the ground fiercely, made a backward movement, and chanted in a low voice:

"Third-tier magic · Composite Element Summoning!"

"Sandstorm Elemental Spirit!"

Swish—

A whirlwind was generated out of thin air, and the sand in the desert turned into a sand-yellow whirlwind-shaped spirit figure, rolling up a large amount of sand and dust, and rushed toward Little Nick.

"Idiot!"

The desert under the Dragonman's feet collapsed, and his strong body galloped across the desert at an extremely fast speed. Wherever he passed, yellow sand splashed out of thin air.

"Aura of Destruction"

A faint white light covered the Dragonman's hands and collided with the Sandstorm Elemental Spirit.

The rotating sand and dust rubbed against the Dragonman's body, emitting a "crackle" intense collision, but the next moment, a beast claw probed out from the sand and dust, tearing the Sandstorm Elemental Spirit into two halves directly.

It clearly had a suppressive damage effect on elements!

"The aura has decreased a bit, although not much, but wind and earth elements should be able to cause damage to it. The other party does not have this kind of resistance."

Tang Zheng analyzed while retreating.

"Additionally, like a normal monk-type class professional, he should lack long-range attack means."

"Seeing the elemental spirit without any surprise, is it because he already obtained my intelligence from the oasis humans?"

Fortunately.

Tang Zheng decided in his heart. The intelligence he exposed here in the Valley of Despair was only the means of a third-tier magic caster and warrior ability.

Bang!

The Dragonman rushed to Tang Zheng's front after solving the elemental spirit, the distance was very close.

At this time, casting magic, whether it was the chanting time or the distance, was no longer suitable!

Swish—

Tang Zheng waved his hand and drew the magic greatsword that was hidden by the cloak and hung at his waist. It was the one he obtained from the Ogre · Gu.

The sleeves opened.

The bronze-colored arm guards were faintly visible. It was that "Death Guard Arm Guard." He had already equipped it in advance during the probing process.

Although he didn't think the other party would master instant-death moves, he still had to be prepared.

"'Gather Qi Impact'"

A fist covered in fine golden scales entered Tang Zheng's field of vision.

"Rapid Slash!"

The magic greatsword swung!

Boom!!

The blade and the fist collided first, and a powerful shockwave exploded instantly.

To prevent being suspected by the opponent, Tang Zheng even proactively deactivated the "Aura of Courage" of the 【Valkyrie】, a move that could deal double damage during an initial collision.

Bang—

Tang Zheng's body flew sideways, crashing heavily onto a sand dune dozens of meters away.

The 【Ninja】's "Conceal Presence" passive activated; Tang Zheng's face immediately turned pale, his aura weak, looking as if he had suffered heavy injuries.

"Oh-hahaha!"

The Dragonman retracted his fist, and seeing Tang Zheng defeated by his single punch, he laughed triumphantly:

"Too foolish. To dare to take my punch head-on upon seeing my true form."

"What kind of monster are you!"

Tang Zheng put on an expression of disbelief and spoke loudly.

"Monster?"

"Ignorant person with no insight, I am a Dragonman!"

The Dragonman spoke proudly, seemingly not at all surprised by his easy victory, acting as if it were a matter of course.

Lacking combat experience!

Tang Zheng evaluated internally; the opponents the other party had encountered before must have been too weak, to the point that he didn't have the slightest suspicion when Tang Zheng faked being defeated.

As expected, a Dragonman.

Actually, this was Tang Zheng's first time seeing this race, and he was still a bit uncertain, but now that the other party had admitted it himself, it was naturally for the best.

This reminded him of Sebas, one of the Floor Guardians in the "Great Tomb of Nazarick," who was also of the "Dragonman" race.

"You, you—the Gray Dwarf race exterminating humans, it was you pulling the strings behind the scenes!"

Tang Zheng acted as if he had discovered something unbelievable, his voice weak: "No, with your power, you could easily destroy humanity entirely."

The Dragonman had mentioned in his previous words that he had ruined the other party's plans; Tang Zheng recalled it, and the only thing that could be related was the actions of the Gray Dwarf race.

Too strange?

This was the point that had always made him feel something was wrong.

"Shut up!"

"Shut up!!"

The Dragonman seemed to have been stimulated by something, stomping the ground while shouting, looking somewhat neurotic.

Bang—bang!

Every step on the ground made the earth shake.

Seeing the other party in this state, Tang Zheng felt as if he had caught a flash of inspiration in his mind.

"I know now... cough, cough!"

Tang Zheng spoke loudly, then began to cough, his aura becoming even weaker:

"With your power, there is no need to disguise yourself as a human and suddenly launch attacks in the oasis. You are protecting the oasis... to be precise—you are protecting the humans in the oasis?"

"I heard a rumor from the now-extinct Gray Dwarves: 'Humans are a cursed race,' and as long as one attacks humans, a disaster will occur."

"The so-called 'disaster' is you!"

"Clearly viewing humans as inferior creatures, yet having to protect them, while also manipulating the Gray Dwarves to destroy them—this completely contradictory situation has only one possibility!"

The Dragonman stopped stomping, his neurotic mood subsided, and he slowly raised his head, a pair of golden beast pupils with traces of bloodshot staring at Tang Zheng, the dense killing intent seemingly about to erupt from his eyes.

"You are being ordered to protect humans here by a more powerful existence, an existence you cannot resist at all."

"You would rather indirectly manipulate the Gray Dwarves to exterminate humans than dare to do it yourself... what kind of existence could make you fear them so much, even..."

"The rumor has existed for at least a hundred years, yet you still dare not defy this order?"

The air became eerily quiet at this moment!

"Lower lifeform!"

The Dragonman's sharp arms, covered in dark golden scales, moved slightly, and he took a step forward with his strong, powerful legs: "You talk too much."

"I will crush your neck with my own hands."

Tang Zheng had initially suspected that the Dragonman before him might be the offspring of some Dragon Lord, but now he could rule that out!

How could an existence like a Dragon Lord care about humans, who were like insects in their eyes?

In the Other World, possessing great strength and holding some kind of favor toward humans—there is only one possibility: a player!

Could this Dragonman before him be an NPC arranged here by some player who descended into the Other World?

"My name is Mission Plete."

Tang Zheng suddenly spoke.

"An ant crawling on the ground is not worthy of me remembering its name."

The Dragonman was expressionless, still walking over coldly, as if contemplating how to kill this human painfully.

Alright, not an NPC!

And definitely not a player.

"Really now."

Tang Zheng did a kip-up, stood up from the ground, the weak aura vanished, and even his pale complexion returned to a healthy, rosy glow.

The Dragonman's intense killing intent paused, staring blankly at Tang Zheng, who had recovered instantly from a near-death state.

"Information gathering complete."

"Reconnaissance is also finished; there are no companions of yours here, only you." Tang Zheng patted the dust off his body.

He hadn't just been fishing for information earlier; he had also been constantly scanning the surroundings to see if there was any possibility of this area being observed.

That had also been ruled out!

Because if there were any magic observing this place, the attribute panel would have provided a notification immediately.

"I have many confusing questions; it would be better to just learn them from your own mouth." Tang Zheng reached out and grabbed the magic greatsword stuck to the side.

"—Yieee-ah!!"

The dark golden Dragonman let out a sharp roar: "You inferior creature, how dare you fool me!"

Boom!

The distance of several tens of meters between the two was covered in an instant by a golden afterimage, and sharp claws viciously grabbed toward Tang Zheng's neck.

"—Iron Grip"

"Four-Light Chain Slash · Magic Slash · Wind!" Tang Zheng swung the magic greatsword with one hand.

Using martial arts combined with the 【Magic Swordsman】 job skills, then injecting elements that could change attributes,

The translucent, sharp magic wind blades formed four elemental slashes under the swing of the magic greatsword; wind-attribute magic is known for its speed!

Before the Dragonman could even get close to Tang Zheng, both arms and legs were hit simultaneously by the wind-attribute slashes!

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

The dark golden scales were damaged, and blood flowers burst out on his arms and legs simultaneously.

"—Ya-ahhh." The Dragonman roared in shock and anger, flying backward at a speed even faster than when he had charged.

Leaving a clear, unmistakable trail on the desert.
