Chapter 390: The Black Dragon's Treasure: Plucking the Goose as it Flies (Thanks to

After all, this is the corpse of an ancestral black dragon that was at the Demon Saint level or even higher during its lifetime; its physical body naturally possesses many wonders, and even though the dragon's body strength has dropped significantly after death, it is not something that a mere Elite-level Spirit Beast can achieve Armor Breaking on.

However, it is not as if all the Spirit Beasts failed to achieve Armor Breaking; at the very least, Adai barely managed to do so, scraping off a black Dragon Scale the size of a face and revealing a layer of thick black Dragon Skin.

Even though the ancestral black dragon's corpse possesses many wonders, Adai possesses a trait that can ignore defense, though it was discounted when applied to the ancestral black dragon's corpse.

"Everyone, keep it up, try your best to scrape off some flesh!" Li Zhangsheng was anxious inside, but he had no other way; he could only blame his own strength for being too poor, and now he felt the embarrassment of entering a treasure mountain only to return empty-handed.

Of course, it was not as if he had no gains, it was just that the harvest was not as high as expected.

Roar~

Aixi roared, and not even a single white mark appeared; to it, this was simply a humiliation.

Gold-Breaking Jade-Shattering Gang!

Without hesitation, Aixi activated its strongest skill, and countless visible golden light spots gathered on its claws and teeth, immediately ejecting golden light blades several inches long from them.

Aixi compressed Gold Element energy and attached it to its claws and teeth; this could significantly increase the penetration power of its claws and teeth and could be maintained for a period of time.

Boom~

The next moment, Aixi slapped the Dragon Scale of the ancestral black dragon, emitting a dull sound.

Unlike the last time, this time claw marks appeared on the Dragon Scale Aixi attacked, which showed that it had a certain effect; as long as it persisted, it would be able to break through the Dragon Scale and Dragon Skin.

Unfortunately, in terms of efficiency, it was still far inferior to Adai.

"Aixi, attack the wound on the black dragon's chest!"

Under Li Zhangsheng's command, Aixi had no choice but to change targets and attack the 'large hole' on the black dragon's chest, only then managing to achieve some results and barely scraping off a little bit of flesh.

It was indeed only a little bit of flesh, about the size of an adult's fist, because the ancestral black dragon's flesh and fascia were already extremely tough, and they were faintly shimmering with a Water-Blue Light Membrane; Aixi could clearly feel the resistance.

At this moment, Adai struck out with another claw, landing on the ancestral black dragon's Dragon Skin.

Although the ancestral black dragon was dead, its Dragon Skin was covered with a barely perceptible Water-Blue Light Membrane; as soon as it touched this light membrane, Adai's force was weakened by more than half, and the results were naturally greatly discounted, leaving only a shallow wound on the Dragon Skin.

Adai swung its claws a few more times, but the results were much the same as before.

"There are two minutes left!" When Li Zhangsheng spoke, his tone inevitably carried a bit more urgency; his eyes began to scan the black dragon's nest, as the black dragon's hundreds of years of collection were naturally here as well.

Roar~

Just as Li Zhangsheng was about to let Adai also attack the wound that already existed on the black dragon, the anxious Adai let out a roar, and a white light of advancement instantly enveloped it.

For the top-quality Adai, breaking through to the Elite level was no harder than eating or drinking; as long as it kept grinding away, it could break through easily, and the anxious emotion accelerated this process.

When the white light disappeared, Adai had become even taller and stronger, its height already exceeding ten meters, and with its stout build, its weight definitely exceeded ten tons.

【Spirit Beast Name】: Savage Behemoth (Growth Stage) 《Inherently obtained significant improvements, but still has slight deficiencies; its size is slightly inferior to ordinary Savage Behemoths, can use... 》

【Spirit Beast Realm】: Elite 1st Rank

【Spirit Beast Race】: High-level Commander

【Spirit Beast Quality】: Top-quality

【Spirit Beast Bloodline】: Golden Behemoth (Pure)

【Spirit Beast Attribute】: Earth + Gold

【Spirit Beast Status】: Healthy

【Spirit Beast Weakness】: Fire 《With the help of Life Essence, the Savage Behemoth's resistance to Wood Element has greatly increased, and it is no longer as afraid of Wood Energy as it was in the past》

The next moment, Adai swung its claw again.

Rip~

A sound like tearing cloth rang out; the evolved Adai's strength had been greatly improved, and this claw took advantage of the momentum to tear through the Dragon Skin, revealing the red and white flesh and fascia.

Although the defense of the flesh and fascia was not as good as the Dragon Skin, Adai still felt resistance, but after the advancement, its strength had greatly increased, and it could grab a piece of flesh the size of a washbasin with one claw.

However, the blood of this ancestral black dragon seemed to have drained away, and there was very little blood flowing out.

"Light Blessing Bird, cast Light Blessing on the Savage Behemoth!" While speaking, Li Zhangsheng also activated Ox's Brute Force and Bloodthirsty Frenzy for the Savage Behemoth; the Savage Behemoth's veins bulged, and its already massive body became even larger, only stopping when it approached twenty meters.

Except for some slight differences in appearance, at this time the Savage Behemoth felt almost indistinguishable from a Behemoth.

The Light Blessing Bird shone brightly, casting Light Prayer on the Savage Behemoth, allowing its efficiency to improve again to a certain extent.

In this way, the Savage Behemoth could grab a piece of meat the size of a water vat with one claw.

Although the ancestral black dragon was large, it was known as the Skeleton Dragon and its flesh was relatively sparse; Adai only grabbed twice before reaching the ancestral black dragon's spine.

Compared to the Dragon Scale and Dragon Skin, the hardness of the ancestral black dragon's spine was absurdly strong, no worse than before its death, and Adai could not even leave many scratches on it.

"Adai, focus on cutting the meat!" In this situation, Li Zhangsheng naturally chose the highest efficiency.

"I'll leave this to you all, the rest follow me!"

Li Zhangsheng was finally satisfied and immediately gathered the other nine Spirit Beasts that had achieved nothing, because he had discovered the location of the black dragon's treasure.

The black dragon's treasure was in the cave, but it was protected by a Defense Restriction; just like the warning restriction at the entrance of the nest, this restriction gave Li Zhangsheng a feeling even stronger than the restriction of the Lin Family Treasure Pavilion.

"Attack with all your might!" Without hesitation, Li Zhangsheng gave the order to attack.

The next moment, the nine Spirit Beasts simultaneously launched their strongest offensives.

Dense Forest Stars!

Kailan condensed a large amount of Wood Energy, as if throwing countless green seeds, which swarmed and gathered in mid-air.

Under the condensation of a large amount of Wood Energy, the 'seeds' quickly turned into illusory large trees, smashing straight toward the restriction below.

Chirp~

Accompanied by a loud cry, the Flame Bird opened its sharp Bird Beak, and countless fiery red light spots gathered, spraying a scorching Flame Dragon Breath from its mouth.

Shengsheng Tiantang!

Baitan shone brightly, and the dazzling light gathered like the Sun, with countless Light-type energy swarming upward, forming a huge milky-white ring of light in the blink of an eye.

Death Wither!

Heiye radiated Rich black energy, similarly forming a huge pitch-black ring of light above.

Combined Skill—Hell Heaven!

Under the control of day and night, the two light rings of opposite colors began to merge, emitting a sizzling sound from within; the two completely opposing energies fused and dissolved, finally transforming into a gray light ring that landed on the Restriction.

……

The offensive of the nine Demon Pets arrived almost at the same time, smashing into the Restriction crazily like flying hail.

The Restriction guarding the Black Dragon's treasure twisted violently, and some gaps instantly appeared at the weak points.

Crack— Crack—

Before the energy dissipated, these gaps expanded rapidly; within the span of two breaths, the Restriction could no longer hold, emitting a sound of being unable to bear the burden, and finally flickered violently before disappearing.

Boom—

Because he was in a rush, Li Zhangsheng had to break the Restriction at the fastest speed possible, which resulted in the remaining energy colliding with the Black Dragon's collection immediately after the Restriction was broken.

Clatter—

Accompanied by a loud explosion, Li Zhangsheng's heart twitched fiercely, and he inevitably wore an expression of heartache; if time had permitted, he would have truly broken the Restriction slowly.

With this blow, there was no telling how many treasures had been destroyed.

"Well, the Black Dragon is the one who will be most heartbroken!" Li Zhangsheng thought to himself, looking at the Black Dragon's collection after the torrent of energy vanished.

Hmm, the first thing that came into view was a golden mountain piled up with Gold Coins, with an even larger silver mountain beside it, though many Gold Coins and silver coins had already melted; there was also a mountain of Soul Crystals, a small mountain piled with various jewelry, and finally, a small mountain piled with treasures.

Among this pile of treasures, some were contained in boxes or bottles, but most were exposed; they had also suffered the energy strike, with many already shattered, and some even melted into slag—in short, the losses were not small.

"In any case, it's the Black Dragon's loss, it has nothing to do with me!" Li Zhangsheng carried forward the Ah Q spirit, moving the collection into his Space Ring at the fastest speed possible.

Because the space in the Space Ring was limited and could not hold all the collection, and he also had to leave some room for the flesh and blood of the ancestral Black Dragon, Li Zhangsheng had to give up a portion: the cheapest and most abundant golden and silver mountains.

Compared to treasures and Soul Crystals, although Gold Coins and silver coins were circulating currency in the secular world, they were undoubtedly the lowest in value among these collectibles.

Jewelry was different; Li Zhangsheng could feel strong energy fluctuations radiating from the jewelry mountain, and it was clear that treasures still existed within this pile of jewelry.

Because time was limited, Li Zhangsheng had to sweep them all up, taking only one minute in total.

After packing the collection, half a minute remained; Li Zhangsheng hurriedly packed the flesh and blood of the ancestral Black Dragon scraped off by the Savage Bull and Aixi at the fastest speed possible, then immediately recalled all Demon Pets except Aixi and leaped onto Aixi's back.

As for the corpses of the Blue-Armored Earth Dragon and the Prehistoric Saw-Toothed Earthworm, Li Zhangsheng didn't even look at them, though when he was about to leave, he used his Mental Power to snatch the only three stalks of Dragon Whisker Grass in the Dragon Lair.

Li Zhangsheng's behavior this time could be called a model of "plucking a feather from every passing goose."

From entering the Dragon Lair until now, exactly three minutes had passed; based on Li Zhangsheng's estimated speed for the Black Dragon, it would return in about two more minutes—if not now, when?

"Go!"

Under Li Zhangsheng's guidance, Aixi unleashed its fastest speed, and within the span of two or three breaths, it rushed out of the 'underground passage'.

In the previous three minutes, Aixi had automatically gathered four layers of Wind Cloak on its body surface, which increased its speed by a full eighty percent.

On the vast Swamp, the Xuantian Eagle had already finished the battle; the two Venomous Flying Dragons were dead, with large holes in their chests where their hearts were missing, having been eaten by the Xuantian Eagle as a snack.

The Xuantian Eagle possessed the Bloodline of the Golden-Winged Great Peng, so it naturally inherited some 'bad habits', such as liking to eat dragons; of course, with its ability, it could only eat some Sub-Dragons or underage dragons.

On a large tree, the Xuantian Eagle had not yet returned.

"Xuantian Eagle, hurry back, but it's best to return in a roundabout way, understand?"

Chirp—

The Xuantian Eagle nodded humanely, spread its wings, and flew high, disappearing from sight in the blink of an eye.

To avoid encountering the Black Dragon, Li Zhangsheng prepared to let Aixi flee deeper into the Silent Forest and then circle back to Luo City.

Although the journey was long this way, it was safer, though accidents would inevitably occur along the way, such as the possibility of encountering powerful wild Spirit Beasts.

Breath Concealment!

During the escape, Li Zhangsheng activated the Breath Concealment Secret Technique, masking his and Aixi's aura.

Rise Wind!

Aixi roared, and its body surface was instantly covered by pale cyan Wind Element energy, which caused its speed to surge, fleeing deeper at an even faster pace.

At this moment, Aixi was in no way inferior to the Leader-level Xuantian Eagle in terms of speed.

However, Li Zhangsheng was still not satisfied, and he poured Mental Acceleration, Savage Bull Strength, and Bloodthirsty Frenzy onto Aixi all at once.

Even if it could only slightly increase the speed, Li Zhangsheng did not let it go; he had to put as much distance as possible between himself and the Black Dragon's nest to be safer.

What Li Zhangsheng did not know was that because the root of its left dragon wing was broken, the Black Dragon's speed had dropped significantly.

By the time the Black Dragon returned to the Swamp, a total of seven minutes had passed, two minutes later than Li Zhangsheng had expected.

Seeing the two dead Venomous Flying Dragons, the Black Dragon's heart went cold, and it hurriedly burrowed into the Swamp to enter the Dragon Lair.

When the Black Dragon saw the scene in the Dragon Lair, its three corpses-gods immediately went wild and jumped in rage; it wasn't just ordinary frustration, it was as if its parents had died.

No matter which plane they are in, the greed of dragons is famous; they are unusually paranoid about their treasures. Even if their offspring snatched a cheap silver coin from a dragon, the dragon would chase it down to retrieve the coin, give it a sound beating, and the dragon might even go so far as to snatch the treasures of its own offspring.

Furthermore, when a dragon is nearing the end of its life, it would rather destroy its treasures before dying than hand them over to its descendants to inherit.

The Black Dragon Harikuchi was no exception; these were its treasures of hundreds of years, so naturally, it felt more than ordinary heartache.

The only thing that comforted it was that the other party had not taken away the 'golden and silver mountains' it valued most, so it could continue to roll on them in the future.

"Absolutely unforgivable!" The Black Dragon's angry voice echoed continuously in the Dragon Lair; in order to retrieve the lost treasures, it immediately left the Dragon Lair.

On the Swamp, the Black Dragon's nose twitched; a dragon's sense of smell is also quite sensitive, though it is rarely used.

The Black Dragon smelled three strange scents, and it immediately followed one of the scents, chasing after it at the fastest speed possible.

It's Monday, asking for recommendation votes!

During the New Year, I dare not set goals, because a large amount of time will be taken away at any moment.
