Chapter 389: Mountain-Moving Giant Ape Bloodline, Bloodline Burning Secret Technique (Three-in-One Chapter)

This was a downward-sloping underground passage, three meters in diameter; Li Zhangsheng flicked his Monster Pet Bag and summoned the Treasure-Seeking Mouse.

Squeak, squeak~

The Treasure-Seeking Mouse chirped at Li Zhangsheng, then immediately burrowed into the underground passage; it knew the specific location of the Black Dragon's lair.

If Li Zhangsheng had to find it himself, even with two precious orbs, it would inevitably take a fair amount of effort.

For Li Zhangsheng right now, time was truly too precious; the faster he entered the Black Dragon's lair, the more of a chance Luo City had of being preserved.

A pair of Illusion Wings extended from Li Zhangsheng's back, and ignoring the battle between the Xuantian Eagle and the two Venomous Wyverns, he followed the Treasure-Seeking Mouse's footsteps into the underground passage.

Under the guidance of the Treasure-Seeking Mouse, Li Zhangsheng moved forward rapidly while adjusting the direction of the underground passage.

This Swamp had been modified by the Black Dragon, and its depth was quite astonishing.

Very quickly, a hundred-meter-long underground passage was completely formed, connecting to a massive underground cavern.

That was the Black Dragon's lair!

In the span of just a few breaths, Li Zhangsheng flew into the underground cavern.

The moment Li Zhangsheng entered the underground cavern, an invisible ripple immediately spread out, and a water-blue mark suddenly appeared, vanishing in an instant.

Relying on his fairly extensive knowledge, Li Zhangsheng recognized at a glance that this was a type of early-warning Restriction; as long as the early-warning Restriction was triggered, it would alert its master at an extremely fast speed.

The lair was only a few dozen miles away from the Black Dragon, and the Black Dragon could almost instantly receive the alert from the early-warning Restriction.

To put it simply, the moment Li Zhangsheng entered the Black Dragon's lair, the Black Dragon knew that someone had broken into its lair.

In the sky above the north wall of Luo City, the Black Dragon had already suppressed the four, including Qin Fangxin, into a disadvantageous position, though it was also somewhat disheveled itself; even though the Mystery of Guard had offset most of the damage, the Dragon Scales and Dragon Skin on its dragon body were still quite damaged, and one Dragon Horn had almost snapped off.

But looking at the situation, even if the four, including Qin Fangxin, fought with their lives, defeat was only a matter of time.

Just as he had said to Li Zhangsheng, Qin Fangxin was truly fighting with his life; his eyes were bloodshot, his complexion was abnormally pale, blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, and his gaze was full of madness.

In the time just passed, in order to inflict as much damage on the Black Dragon as possible and weaken its combat power, Qin Fangxin had cast the Bloodline Burning Secret Technique on one of his Demon Pets.

This was an Advanced Secret Technique similar to Bloodline Burning, but the Bloodline Burning Secret Technique was more thorough; not only was the Bloodline burning, but the blood was also burning, so the amplification was naturally stronger.

Of course, the consequences were also more severe; the Bloodline Burning Secret Technique at least had a chance of being saved, but a Demon Pet bolstered by the Bloodline Burning Secret Technique, although its combat power would increase greatly in the short term, would ultimately only face death once the blood was burned to the point where there was nothing left to burn.

Once the Bloodline Burning Secret Technique was cast, it could not be defied, and it would ultimately burn every drop of the Demon Pet's blood.

Bloodline Burning Secret Technique!

Qin Fangxin's blood-red eyes stared at the Black Dragon, and regardless of his Consciousness Sea which was currently in shock, he once again cast the Bloodline Burning Secret Technique on a Lord-rank Great Strength Mountain-Capturing Ape.

【Spirit Beast Name】: Great Strength Mountain-Capturing Ape (Mature Stage)

【Spirit Beast Realm】: Lord 6th Rank

【Spirit Beast Race】: Low-Level Monarch

【Spirit Beast Quality】: Superior Quality

【Spirit Beast Bloodline】: Mountain-Moving Giant Ape (Rich)

【Spirit Beast Attribute】: Earth

【Spirit Beast Status】: Healthy

【Spirit Beast Weakness】: Wood

Pfft~

After finishing the casting, Qin Fangxin spat out a mouthful of blood, a trail of bloody tears flowed from his eyes, his whole person was disheveled, and his eyes were full of sorrow.

He only had two Lord-rank Demon Pets in total, and for decades he had cared for them with all his heart and soul, cultivating a deep bond with them, but this time, in order to protect the hundreds of thousands of citizens of Luo City, he had personally sacrificed them all.

The Great Strength Mountain-Capturing Ape was over ten meters tall and was famous for its great strength; under the boost of the Bloodline Burning Secret Technique, its blue veins bulged all over, a blood-colored aura appeared on its body surface, and its size and momentum were skyrocketing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This was like a Super Saiyan transformation, which could greatly increase combat power, but the price was life.

The Great Strength Mountain-Capturing Ape looked back at Qin Fangxin; its gaze remained heroic, without a shred of resentment or Anger, and it waved at Qin Fangxin in a carefree manner, full of the farewell of "the wind blows cold, the Yi River chills."

In the sky, the Black Dragon, Hei Long Harikuchi, saw such a scene, and for the first time, a trace of fear flashed in those dragon eyes as large as lanterns; it had not expected Qin Fangxin to fight so desperately, completely unlike the human Monster Tamers it had encountered before who would run if they couldn't win.

The Black Dragon knew very well that if the other three people all fought as desperately as Qin Fangxin, it was afraid that even if it won in the end, it would have to pay a heavy price.

Roar~

Just as the Black Dragon hesitated, the Great Strength Mountain-Capturing Ape clapped its extremely strong chest with both hands, making a sound like a beating drum; its belly suddenly swelled, and it unleashed a special sonic skill toward the Black Dragon.

This was the Bloodline Inheritance Skill of the Mountain-Moving Giant Ape—Mountain Ape Roar; it excelled in being impossible to guard against, and while delivering a powerful blow, it could also forcibly cause dizziness.

Under the amplification of the Bloodline Burning Secret Technique, the power of the Mountain Ape Roar greatly increased; a tangible yet intangible sound wave was emitted, the air rippled violently, and the Black Dragon, Hei Long Harikuchi, had no time to react before being hit by the impossible-to-guard-against Mountain Ape Roar.

Because Qin Fangxin had warned Ning Bizhen and the others in advance, the moment the Great Strength Mountain-Capturing Ape launched the Mountain Ape Roar, they had already stepped out of the range of the Mountain Ape Roar.

The Black Dragon's eardrums went deaf instantly, its head buzzed, it fell into a blank state, its wings stopped flapping, and it fell directly from the sky.

However, the Black Dragon was a Demon King-level Spirit Beast after all; the dizziness came quickly and went even faster, and when it was still a few dozen meters from the ground, it spread its dragon wings, wanting to stop its downward momentum.

It was also at this moment that the Great Strength Mountain-Capturing Ape bent its knees and jumped high; it was already good at jumping, and in its Bloodline Burning state, it naturally jumped higher and faster, suddenly appearing at the Black Dragon's side, grabbing the Black Dragon's left dragon wing and tearing at it with all its might, regardless of anything else.

The Great Strength Mountain-Capturing Ape's attribute ultimately countered it, and even though most of the damage was offset by the Mystery of Guard, it still made the Black Dragon feel pain.

Roar~

The Black Dragon let out an angry Dragon Roar, its thick Dragon Tail made a sonic boom as it whipped through the air, and it looked like it was about to smash into the Great Strength Mountain-Capturing Ape.

Clatter~

Suddenly, a thick Ice Wall appeared again, and the Dragon Tail struck it, instantly shattering the Ice Wall into pieces, blocking the Dragon Tail for a moment.

It was also at this moment that Instructor He Yan's Red Li Bird, its whole body burning with flames, collided head-on with the Dragon Tail, and brilliant flames erupted.

Unfortunately, the power of the Dragon Tail was too great, and it directly whipped the Red Li Bird away, finally landing on the back of the Great Strength Mountain-Capturing Ape.

Thud~

Even with the obstruction of the Ice Wall and the Red Li Bird, the power of the Dragon Tail was weakened by more than half, but it still whipped the back of the Great Strength Mountain-Capturing Ape until it was a bloody mess.

Roar~

The flesh and blood of the Great Strength Mountain-Capturing Ape were burning; it opened its large mouth, revealing a mouthful of fangs, and bit down on the base of the wing, tearing with all its might.

In its Bloodline Burning state, its strength was extremely high, not even much worse than the Black Dragon's; even though most of it was exempted by the Mystery of Guard, it still bit through the Dragon Scales and Dragon Skin at the base of the wing, making the Black Dragon, Hei Long Harikuchi, feel pain.

If it were to bite a few more times, even with the protection of the Mystery, the black dragon's left wing would inevitably face the fate of being bitten off.

Hei Long Harikuchi immediately took action, its slender dragon neck turning as it prepared to spray Acid Breath from its dragon mouth.

Chirp—

At the critical moment, the Three-Legged Fire Crow seemed to have anticipated this; it immediately transformed into a fire bird and crashed into the black dragon's head first, causing the black dragon's head to turn slightly, and the sprayed Acid Breath naturally fell into empty space.

The black dragon was furious, slapping the Three-Legged Fire Crow away with one paw, and began to condense Water Element energy in its dragon mouth, wanting to attack the Great Strength Mountain-Capturing Ape again.

Just at this moment, a Ten-Colored Precious Pearl shot through the air, heading straight for the black dragon's open mouth.

Upon seeing the Yuanhe Ten-Color Pearl, the black dragon was so frightened that it hurriedly closed its mouth; although it had extremely strong control over its body, it still did not want the Yuanhe Ten-Color Pearl to enter its body, as the Yuanhe Ten-Color Pearl possessed abundant energy of ten types, and what if it self-destructed inside its body?

Holding onto the "what if" mentality, the black dragon naturally closed its mouth, but it was not one to be bullied, and subconsciously wanted to reach out its claw to grab the Yuanhe Ten-Color Pearl.

Every dragon is a professional collector and appraiser; Harikuchi naturally saw the value of the Yuanhe Ten-Color Pearl, and even among its hundreds of years of collectibles, it was definitely a top-tier treasure, so it naturally wanted to pocket it.

Unfortunately, Ning Bizhen was merely feinting; before the Yuanhe Ten-Color Pearl could get close to the black dragon, the pearl was recalled, causing the black dragon to lunge at nothing.

The Yuanhe Ten-Color Pearl became a weapon to deter the black dragon, the kind where its strategic significance outweighed its practical value, because Ning Bizhen knew very well that she could not detonate the Yuanhe Ten-Color Pearl.

Crack—

Accompanied by a crisp sound, under the persistent Bite of the Great Strength Mountain-Capturing Ape, the bone at the base of the black dragon's left wing was finally bitten through.

Unfortunately, the black dragon's massive body shook violently, but it did not immediately fall.

"Stupid thing, do you really think the great Harikuchi can only rely on its wings to fly?"

The black dragon mocked, its thick dragon tail once again making a sound that cracked the air; this time, the other Demon Pets were too late to help, and it lashed out fiercely at the back of the Great Strength Mountain-Capturing Ape, revealing a huge wound deep enough to see bone.

Under this blow, the thick-skinned Great Strength Mountain-Capturing Ape was directly severely wounded.

However, the Great Strength Mountain-Capturing Ape did not let go, but used both hands and feet; a wave of tearing pain came from the dragon wing, and under the great strength of the Great Strength Mountain-Capturing Ape, the black dragon's left dragon wing was forcibly torn somewhat, spraying out large amounts of dragon blood.

As long as it had a few more seconds, the Great Strength Mountain-Capturing Ape was confident it could forcibly tear off the black dragon's left dragon wing.

The black dragon naturally did not sit and wait for death; the importance of its wings to it was beyond doubt, and although it had obtained some abilities of the ancestral black dragons and possessed the ability to hover in the void, the dragon wings could speed up its flight, serve as a weapon for attack, and were also important parts for maintaining balance.

It was not a Hydra, it did not have the ability of Limb Regeneration, and it did not know where to find Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure or Alchemical Pill that could provide Limb Regeneration, so it naturally had to protect its wings.

This time, the black dragon fell straight to the ground, and as it was about to land, it took advantage of the momentum to twist, directly slamming the Great Strength Mountain-Capturing Ape to the ground.

The Great Strength Mountain-Capturing Ape let out a muffled groan, its hands still clutching the black dragon's wing tightly, preparing to tear off the dragon wing in one go.

Just at this moment, the black dragon used both its claws and tail, one claw slapping toward the head of the Great Strength Mountain-Capturing Ape, and its thick dragon tail whipping toward its back.

At this moment, even if the Three-Legged Fire Crow, the Cold Jade Rabbit, and the Red Li Bird tried their best, they still could not completely neutralize the black dragon's offensive, and in the end, the black dragon's dragon claw forcefully broke through the thick skin of the Great Strength Mountain-Capturing Ape and plunged into its chest.

Roar—

The Great Strength Mountain-Capturing Ape let out a mournful cry; it wanted to continue pulling on the dragon wing, but it was powerless, and the strength in its whole body disappeared rapidly like a deflating balloon.

When the black dragon pulled out its dragon claw, the Great Strength Mountain-Capturing Ape let go of the black dragon's wing and fell heavily to the ground.

The Great Strength Mountain-Capturing Ape struggled for a moment, but never stood up again; it tilted its head to look up at its master, Qin Fangxin, its mouth moved, and it slowly closed its eyes.

"A-Da!" Qin Fangxin spat out a mouthful of blood; he could not care about suppressing his surging Consciousness Sea, his heart filled with sorrow.

In order to protect the hundreds of thousands of citizens of Luo City, his only two Lord-tier Demon Pets had all fallen in battle.

At this moment, the eyes of Li Haoqiong and the other two looking at Qin Fangxin were filled with admiration and shame.

"It's my turn now!" Seeing such a scene, Ning Bizhen sighed softly, and seeing that she was about to perform the Bloodline Burning Secret Technique.

With the power of the Three-Legged Fire Crow, as long as the Three-Legged Fire Crow burned its Bloodline, she believed that it could at least contend with the black dragon for a short time, and perhaps even have a chance to defeat the black dragon with the help of her companions.

"Bastard, how dare you invade the Dragon Lair of the great Harikuchi!"

Just at this moment, the black dragon's expression changed drastically, and it couldn't be bothered with Ning Bizhen and the others anymore, immediately turning into a stream of light and rushing toward its nest at the fastest speed.

However, the black dragon, with the base of its left dragon wing broken, inevitably had its speed affected, which was clearly a notch lower than the speed before it came.

The black dragon left too suddenly, not even informing its allies, so when that group of High-tier Spirit Beasts discovered that the black dragon had fled, they no longer had any tacit understanding, and immediately wanted to scatter like birds and beasts.

"He succeeded, oh no, Li Zhangsheng is in danger, I'll go over to support him first!"

Seeing the black dragon leave in a panic, Ning Bizhen showed a smile, but then her expression changed; such a change in the black dragon definitely had something to do with Li Zhangsheng, and the direction Li Zhangsheng went was the same as the direction the black dragon fled, so she immediately judged that Li Zhangsheng would be in danger, and thus, regardless of anything else, she drove the Three-Legged Fire Crow to chase after the black dragon.

"Sigh, I'll go too!" Li Haoqiong also wanted to save his nephew; the Dragon Python was his only Flying Demon Pet, and at this moment he could only subconsciously flap his wings, wanting to chase after them.

"You are still injured, let me do it; you take City Lord Qin back to the city first, Luo City needs you to stabilize the morale of the army!"

He Yan immediately stopped Li Haoqiong and rushed to drive the Red Li Bird to follow.

Li Haoqiong looked at the dispirited Qin Fangxin, then turned to shout loudly at He Yan's back: "Hey, forget it, be careful, and come back safely!"

He Yan did not look back, responding to him with an OK gesture.

This gesture was understood in any world.

"He really succeeded!" Qin Fangxin muttered to himself; his eyes were very complex, not only excited and gratified, but also sad and lost.

He came to the corpse of the Great Strength Mountain-Capturing Ape in a daze, knelt directly on the ground, and hugged its corpse, crying bitterly.

"Da-Li, we succeeded, we drove the black dragon away!"

Looking at Qin Fangxin's appearance, Li Haoqiong was really afraid that he had gone insane, and had to bite the bullet and say: "City Lord Qin, there is still a bitter battle over at Luo City, let's go back as soon as possible!"

The black dragon had fled, and that group of High-tier Spirit Beasts were the closest, so they naturally noticed it at the first moment, but the Low-tier Spirit Beasts attacking Luo City were too far away and were still crazily outputting mindlessly, so there were very few Low-tier Spirit Beasts that discovered their 'backer' had already run away.

Under these circumstances, the pressure on Luo City was still very great.

"Okay, let's go back!"

Li Haoqiong successfully diverted Qin Fangxin's attention; City Lord Qin knew very well that now was a time when every second counted, and returning one second late might mean more people dying.

Qin Fangxin had to stop the sorrow in his heart and returned to Luo City with Li Haoqiong, and under their command, they finally successfully defeated the Beast Tide.

Silent Forest, Dragon Nest!

After triggering the warning Restriction, Li Zhangsheng was not alarmed but happy; originally he wanted to leave a fast-moving survivor to report to the black dragon, but now with the warning Restriction, that was no longer needed, which saved him more than half the time, changing from the original half hour to just over ten minutes.

However, this also meant that Li Zhangsheng's time to loot the Dragon Nest was reduced by half; at the black dragon's speed, it would take about five minutes to arrive, and he had to reserve two minutes to run away, leaving only three minutes of looting time.

In these three minutes, he still had to deal with the black dragon guards left behind in the Dragon Nest, which were two Blue-Armored Earth Dragons.

They had all reached the Elite level, but compared to Li Zhangsheng's Demon Pets, the gap was a bit large.

"Come out, and finish them off at maximum speed!"

The moment the two Blue-Armored Earth Dragons discovered Li Changsheng, he summoned all of his Demon Pets directly.

To protect the corpse of the Ancestral Black Dragon, the Black Dragon's lair was naturally extremely spacious, larger than a football field and reaching a height of about thirty meters.

With such a large space, it naturally would not restrict the Demon Pets' performance.

Roar~

At the first moment, Aixi let out a loud roar, the sound like a Thunder crash; an invisible Pressure quickly affected the two Blue-Armored Earth Dragons, and even though they did not fall into a state of Cowering, their combat power still dropped by a grade.

Under the fearful gazes of the two Blue-Armored Earth Dragons, Li Changsheng's eleven Demon Pets launched a joint long-range offensive, and the colorful, massive energy quickly submerged them.

Among Li Changsheng's Demon Pets, Aixi, Kailan, Blazing Flame Bird, Bai Tian, Hei Ye, and Light Blessing Bird had all reached the Elite level, and the combat power of the remaining Demon Pets was almost no less than that of the Blue-Armored Earth Dragons, so their fate could be imagined.

When the brilliance dissipated, the two Blue-Armored Earth Dragons had already fallen to the ground; their bodies were covered in wounds, their skin torn and flesh mangled, and after their limbs twitched a few times, they had no signs of life left.

It only took Li Changsheng three seconds for his numerous Demon Pets to beat the two Elite-level Blue-Armored Earth Dragons to death.

Suddenly, the ground behind Li Changsheng split open violently, and a huge figure rushed out, its mouth filled with jagged teeth biting toward Li Changsheng's head.

Given the size of its mouth, it could easily swallow Li Changsheng's head in one gulp.

At the critical moment, a thick Earth Wall suddenly appeared, separating Li Changsheng from the attacker.

Bang~

A dull sound rang out; the Earth Wall shook violently but did not shatter immediately.

By the time the Earth Wall shattered, Li Changsheng had already finished turning around, and beneath his feet was a Water Attribute dragon over ten meters long, supporting his body.

At this moment, the Earth Wall finally shattered, revealing a massive body resembling an earthworm.

"Prehistoric Serrated Earthworm!"

Seeing the appearance of the attacker, Li Changsheng instantly recognized the other party's identity, because he had spent great effort to kill a Prehistoric Serrated Earthworm three months ago, so his impression was naturally deep.

Unfortunately, today is not what it used to be; the current Li Changsheng is no longer the same as he was, and a mere Elite-level Prehistoric Serrated Earthworm could no longer make him feel such great apprehension as it did three months ago.

At this moment, more than ten vines suddenly burst out from underground, instantly binding the Prehistoric Serrated Earthworm tightly.

In an instant, Aixi rushed in front of the Prehistoric Serrated Earthworm, and before it could react, a Crushing Claw slammed heavily into its head, its vital point, nearly shattering its skull.

The Prehistoric Serrated Earthworm's huge body slammed heavily onto the ground; even after suffering such a severe injury, the Prehistoric Serrated Earthworm, possessing a powerful life constitution, did not die because of it, and its body was still moving violently.

Suddenly, Adai grabbed both sides of the Prehistoric Serrated Earthworm's body and pulled with force, tearing it directly into two segments.

Countless green blood gushed out wildly, instantly dyeing the ground dark green.

The Prehistoric Serrated Earthworm's corpse, divided into two halves, struggled violently a few times before having no more signs of life.

Only then did Li Changsheng have time to look toward the corpse of the Ancestral Black Dragon.

This was a corpse of an Ancestral Black Dragon over one hundred meters long; it had been well preserved by Hei Long Harikuchi. There was a hole in its heart area, and there were no other wounds on the rest of its body. Judging from the painful expression and the wide-open Longyan of this Ancestral Black Dragon, it did not pass away peacefully, but had its heart dug out alive by some kind of giant Spirit Beast, killing it in one blow.

"Too, too exaggerated!"

Li Changsheng was so shocked that he stuttered a little; this was an Ancestral Black Dragon over one hundred meters long, its combat power was at least at the Demon Saint level, and it might even be an existence of a higher level, yet it was killed in one blow by some creature, and in a way where it had no power to fight back.

"None of my business, deal with its corpse first!" Li Changsheng shook his head vigorously and directed his eleven Demon Pets to attack the Ancestral Black Dragon's corpse, wanting to dismember it.

Li Changsheng's Space Ring was only one hundred cubic meters and could not fit the Ancestral Black Dragon's corpse at all; at most, it could only hold a small portion.

Clack~ Clack~ Clack~ Clack~

Even Aixi, the strongest in Li Changsheng's hands, could not break through the Dragon Scale of the Ancestral Black Dragon, not even leaving a single trace.

Today's goal: Year-end feast today, tentatively two, pig, proof!
