Chapter 12: Dragon Tooth Soldier of the Jade Dream

"Give up resistance, I can still give you a quick death."

The White Armor Swordsman looked at the black dragon swaying in the sky, thinking victory was assured, and couldn't help shouting loudly.

He didn't really think the black dragon would truly give up resistance just like that, but who knows?

Anyway, it's just a matter of saying a sentence.

Shouting, the White Armor Swordsman still occasionally slashed a sword qi toward the high sky, hoping to wound the black dragon's wings.

The sky.

Even under continuous siege by the three and their magic pet, Xi Er Wa Na Si remained extremely calm.

It was waiting for an opportunity.

"Come."

Suddenly, a flash of joy passed through Xi Er Wa Na Si's dragon eyes.

"Lady Xi Er Wa Na Si, please attack that shield warrior."

A cold voice transmitted into the black dragon's mind.

Hearing the command, without a hint of hesitation, Xi Er Wa Na Si lowered its dragon head, completely disregarding the wind-blade attack from the azure giant eagle, the dragon breath that had been brewing for a long time and reached its peak poured forth like a landslide and tsunami from its ferocious dragon mouth—

At first the dragon breath spewing from its mouth was only about a meter thick, then, as if growing with the wind, the pouring acidic liquid completely covered the space above the sturdy shield warrior who was over two meters tall.

The three below furrowed their brows, especially the shield warrior, whose face turned pale.

They had already anticipated that the black dragon would suddenly erupt, and for this, the three of them naturally had preparations.

According to ordinary logic, for the black dragon to survive, it must deal with their team's spellcaster, because the spellcaster can firmly lock onto the black dragon's position and also has a wind-system giant eagle magic pet faster than the black dragon.

If the spellcaster is not dealt with, they can only be drained to death.

So, the female spellcaster appeared unprepared, but in fact she was always ready to activate the teleportation spell on her magic item, and she also had a high-tier defense magic scroll ready to be torn open and used at any moment.

Just waiting for the black dragon to take the bait.

But they never expected that this black dragon would completely disregard common sense, actually attacking the shield warrior who posed the least threat to it in their team.

Even if it attacked the White Armor Swordsman, they could understand, after all the White Armor Swordsman is the strongest and inflicts the highest damage on the black dragon.

"Hey!"

In an extremely short time, the shield warrior let out a roar, and rich earth-yellow battle aura surged from within, empowering his whole body and the giant shield in his hand, which was a head taller than him.

But that was all he could do.

The pouring acidic dragon breath crashed down, sweeping over a tens-of-meters radius around the shield warrior; upon contact with the dragon breath, the muscles and veins in his arms holding the giant shield bulged horrifically, as if bearing some terrible pressure.

Regardless of the type of dragon breath, aside from its own nature, it always carries a formidable physical impact.

For example, the crimson dragon's flame breath, besides the terrifying temperature capable of melting fine steel, its formidable impact could completely pierce the earth to create a huge, scorched, deep hole.

Dragon breath possesses both physical and magical damage.

Xi Er Wa Na Si's acidic dragon breath at this moment fell, bringing with it corrosive acid and formidable impact.

The acidic dragon breath completely enveloped the shield warrior; if not for the faintly visible earth-yellow battle aura light still flickering, the White Armor Swordsman and the female spellcaster would likely think their companion had already melted within the dragon breath.

"Hold on, Bern!"

The female spellcaster chanted an urgent telekinetic spell, preparing to grant her companion a strong defensive spell.

But, in order to deliberately lure Xi Er Wa Na Si into attacking the female spellcaster earlier, the shield warrior 'Bern' was actually some distance away from her; if not for that, she could have fully activated the high-tier defense magic scroll in her bosom, enveloping both herself and Bern.

The White Armor Swordsman also didn't just stand by; with a leap he covered tens of meters, standing atop the ancient tree to close the distance, and unleashed his full-force strike at the high-altitude Xi Er Wa Na Si.

A crescent-shaped, ten-meter-long platinum sword qi flew from the greatsword, sweeping across hundreds of meters of sky, so fast it blurred, pointing straight at the black dragon Xi Er Wa Na Si.

"Got you." Seeing this, a hint of icy cold flashed through Xi Er Wa Na Si's orange-yellow dragon eyes, as if pronouncing the White Armor Swordsman's death.

Xi Er Wa Na Si 'forced' to stop its dragon breath emission, then its dragon body swiftly descended, rushing toward the White Armor Swordsman in a rapid dive.

Seeing this, the White Armor Swordsman was not startled but delighted. Pfft.

A bone blade directly ignored the swordsman's exorbitantly enchanted armor and pierced straight through his chest.

The White Armor Swordsman's joy that had just risen was instantly shattered, turning into disbelief.

He turned his head and discovered that behind him, at some point, a three-meter-tall green monster had appeared.

It resembled a draconic being by seventy or eighty percent, but the White Armor Swordsman instantly recognized its origin upon seeing the opponent's arm transform into a bone blade.

"Dragon Tooth Soldier"

Rip.

The three-meter-tall Dragon Tooth Soldier merely twitched slightly, and the bone-blade arm that had pierced the White Armor Swordsman's body tore this human powerhouse who had reached the eighth-stage peak into two halves.

Blood rain accompanied by entrails fell to the ground.

It also extinguished the fiery dragon-slaying hearts of the panting, trembling shield warrior and the female spellcaster.

"Bern, run!"

Without hesitation, the female spellcaster endured her heartache and shouted anxiously at the shield warrior.

Shield warrior Bern understood his companion's intent, frantically activating the remaining earth-yellow battle aura within him and rushing toward the female spellcaster; the female spellcaster, bolstered by a speed spell, also went toward Bern.

As long as the two meet, the female spellcaster will immediately activate the teleportation spell on her magic item.

However—they both forgot about Xi Er Wa Na Si, who had just swooped down preparing to attack the White Armor Swordsman.

After the White Armor Swordsman was pierced through the chest by the suddenly appearing Dragon Tooth Soldier, Xi Er Wa Na Si made a nimble turn and dove toward the shield warrior—or rather, the Dragon Mother's target had always been the shield warrior from the start.

Attacking the White Armor Swordsman was merely to create a better ambush opportunity for the Dragon Tooth Soldier.

When shield warrior Bern was within ten meters of the female spellcaster, her eyes nonetheless showed despair and anguish.

A huge black shadow had already covered the sky above shield warrior Bern, and the female spellcaster could clearly see rows of ferocious, sky‑piercing bone spikes on the black dragon's body.

It was too late. She knew that if they didn't leave now, both would die here.

"I will surely kill you, black dragon." Leaving a sentence full of vengeful resentment, the female spellcaster activated the teleportation spell on her magic item.

At the moment before teleportation, the female spellcaster turned her head away, unable to bear looking at her companion's despairing, unwilling eyes.

Whoosh! The conveyor belt took away the female spellcaster.

Boom—

The massive, heavy body of the black dragon completely flattened the shield warrior, and strands of blood flowed out from beneath its body.

Xi Er Wa Na Si paid no heed to the shield warrior it had killed; instead, she raised her head, watching the dragon fang soldier that held the white-armored warrior's remains in its hand, chewing them like a snack, as it walked toward it.

Dragon fang soldiers are intelligent magical creature servants created by dragons using their own dragon teeth and powerful souls.

The green-scaled dragon fang soldier before us is a servant created by a powerful green dragon.

As a dragon fang soldier created by a green dragon, it is evidently quite skilled in magic; just now this dragon fang soldier used a spell to conceal itself beside them, silently approaching the white-armored swordsman.

Moreover, dragon fang soldiers inherently counter magical equipment—dragon teeth possess an anti-magic property, able to crush most magical gear; as dragon fang soldiers made from dragon teeth, they naturally inherit this trait.

Of course, this also happened because the white-armored swordsman's attention was focused on Xi Er Wa Na Si and the shield warrior Ben'en, and he was careless. Furthermore, after fighting Xi Er Wa Na Si for over twenty days, he was utterly exhausted, so he wouldn't have been so easily dealt with by a sneak attack from the dragon fang soldier otherwise.

"Lady Xi Er Wa Na Si, welcome to your joining; the queen awaits your arrival in the Emerald Dream."

The dragon fang soldier stopped several meters in front of the black dragon and spoke politely.

Although its strength is not much inferior to Xi Er Wa Na Si's, it is merely a magical construct, whereas Xi Er Wa Na Si is a dragon.

There remains a considerable gap in their status.

"Hmm, give me some time; I need to return to the dragon's nest for a trip." Xi Er Wa Na Si looked at the dragon fang soldier before her, sighed inwardly, and replied calmly.
