Chapter 43: 44 Ancient Dragon

Lin Jun waited for the evil guest to come to the door in the cave full of spores.

The fifth floor, however, had new changes.

The rift that ran out the dragon-man and the giant rat hadn't refreshed any monsters for a while.

Now it was becoming unstable.

The space around the rift was slightly distorted, seemingly with a trend of expanding.

This change made Lin Jun's heart jump with fear.

He didn't understand space-related knowledge, but this was definitely very dangerous.

He didn't want his fifth floor to become a dead zone of space shattering.

Or have a few more permanent rifts, where anyone could come in and take a look.

Wanting or not, Lin Jun was helpless against these changes.

And right now, dealing with the dragon-man was the top priority.

Coming!

From Lin Jun's magic perception perspective, the dragon-man had already dug to the edge.

Crack, crack—

A section of the rock wall cracked slightly...

The next second, a pair of sharp claws broke through the stone.

The dragon-man's head followed closely and drilled out, the fiery golden dragon pupils sweeping into the cave.

Standing before it was the long-waiting Knight Puji, along with six Tentacle Mushroom Cannons, fully charged with energy and on the verge of firing.

Surprised?

6 shots of triple-power mushroom cannon, all hitting the bewildered dragon-man directly.

And it was a headshot!

The huge explosion sound mixed with fierce vibration, and the entire rock wall was blasted to pieces.

The cave ceiling collapsed in the vibration, and large chunks of rubble fell one after another, burying the dragon-man.

The cave had been collapsing until one-third of the area was left before it barely stabilized.

Lin Jun was also helpless; facing the dragon-man, it was no longer a time to consider whether the cave collapsed or not.

But it wasn't over yet.

The rubble pile suddenly exploded, and the dragon-man rushed out from it, but didn't pounce directly on the Knight Puji.

Instead, she dashed around the cave at a very fast speed and finally stopped in the corner.

At this time, the dragon-man looked incomparably miserable.

Not only was her head full of blood, but most of the scales on her face had fallen off, and one of the horns on her head was broken.

Perhaps she was hit hard, as she was huddled in the corner now, growling low and not daring to approach easily.

The dragon-man's current appearance made Lin Jun a bit surprised.

Originally, her facial features were hidden under thick scales, and with the horns, she looked more like a dragon.

Now that most of the scales had fallen off, her facial features were exposed, and she actually looked more like a human face.

Of course, these were all unimportant.

Being able to maintain a standoff with the dragon-man at this moment was exactly what Lin Jun wanted.

The six mycelium tentacle mushroom cannons on his body were all one-time use; after being used just now, the recoil shattered the tentacles.

Even if they could still be used, he estimated he couldn't hit the dragon-man, whose movements weren't restricted.

Lin Jun's trump card had always been the hallucinogenic spores permeating the air.

Although various resistances wouldn't be low for anything related to dragons, high resistance didn't mean immunity; as long as the time was long enough...

Unfortunately, the dragon-man finally moved.

Its figure turned into a blurred shadow, circling around Lin Jun and closing in bit by bit.

It was clear that it had been beaten quite painfully, as it lacked any of the reckless, straightforward aggression it had shown when fighting the giant rats.

However, Lin Jun liked this; he might not be able to react if she went straight at it.

Seeing that the dragon-man was close enough, the Knight vibrated slightly.

[Infrasound Attack LV6]

The dragon-man's internal organs were attacked, her movements paused abruptly, and she didn't have time to turn, so she just followed the inertia and bumped into the rock wall.

Lin Jun didn't hesitate to add a mushroom cannon shot there, and the cave collapsed by another small half, burying the dragon-man.

The power of the infrasound attack was far inferior to a mushroom cannon of the same level.

But its benefit was that it ignored defense and caused damage directly to the inside of the body!

Even if Lin Jun's infrasound was only level 6, in a confined space like a cave, amplified by the symbiotic crystal, it was enough to cause certain damage to the dragon-man and disrupt her rhythm.

The stone pile was pushed away, and the dragon-man who crawled out this time didn't look so energetic.

But she didn't delay, instead rushing over, rushing over directly.

[Infrasound Attack LV6]

[Evasion LV7]

Relying on interfering with her movements, Lin Jun dodged this straight-line attack.

But the dragon-man also learned to be smart; this charge didn't use full strength.

After being interfered with, she adjusted her posture in time, circled around, and rushed over again in the gap of Lin Jun's infrasound attack.

What a keen combat intuition!

Facing the sharp claws swung by the dragon-man, at the critical moment, the Knight Puji's body pressed down slightly... and bounced up!

[Assault Ejection LV5]

The claws and the Knight crossed paths.

Dodged, but not completely dodged.

A claw mark was left on the Knight's shell, and it was just a little bit away from hurting the inside.

The situation seemed to be getting bad.

What about the hallucinogenic spores?

Inhaled so much and still no effect?

The dragon-man seemed to notice that she was gradually starting to gain the upper hand, and she grinned excitedly, revealing two rows of shark teeth.

She adjusted her posture and pounced again.

However, this time, the dragon-man had only rushed halfway when her limbs became uncoordinated, and she rolled into a ball on the ground.

This time, it wasn't Lin Jun who did anything; the infrasound attack was still a bit away from being ready.

In fact, Lin Jun himself felt weak all over now, and his mycelium felt soft.

The panel even had an extra status:

[Dragon Might (Total attributes reduced by 50%)]

!!!

What the hell!?

Lin Jun quickly scanned the fifth floor.

That rift with unstable space had actually expanded by a circle at some point!

A giant claw 5 meters long grabbed the edge of the rift, causing the surrounding space to vibrate violently!

"GROOOOARRR——"

The terrifying roar transmitted from the rift echoed throughout the fifth floor.

It was only because Lin Jun's main body was buried underground that he didn't hear it the first time.

But not hearing it didn't mean he wasn't affected.

That Dragon Might was the best evidence.

In other words, the owner of that claw was a dragon?

Not a dragon beast or sub-dragon, but a real dragon!?

Judging from the size of the claw, that dragon absolutely couldn't pass through the rift, unless it continued to tear the rift bigger...

Don't!

Can't all the bad luck happen to me?

Lin Jun shivered under the Dragon Might, and the dragon-man opposite looked even more unbearable.

She actually dug a hole on the spot and buried her upper body in it to play ostrich...

The dragon claw seemed to want to continue tearing the rift, but a large number of electric arcs suddenly flashed in the space, hitting the dragon claw and blasting away a piece of dragon scale.

The giant dragon was in pain and actually let go of the claw.

Just at the end, it let out an angry roar toward this side again.

Subsequently, electric arcs wrapped around the rift, actually making it shrink smaller and smaller, and finally it disappeared just like that.

After the rift disappeared, this position returned to the original stairs connecting the fourth and fifth floors.

The stairs were so clean that it was as if nothing had happened...

Long after the rift disappeared, the negative status on Lin Jun's body finally vanished.

And the dragon-man was buried halfway in the soil, motionless.

The Knight flew up its short legs and kicked her out.

The dragon-man hit the rock wall behind and just slumped down like that.

The hallucinogenic spores finally worked.

Didn't expect it!

Dragon Might actually helped him out!

The Knight came to the dragon-man's side and stomped on her face a few times.

This wasn't an ordinary stomp; this was [Stomp LV3]!

After thirty consecutive lethal stomps, he finally lowered her HP and then gracefully sprinkled parasitic spores on her.

After the spores completely merged into the flesh, he completely turned her into a parasitic puppet, and he would have an extra trump card!

Finally relaxing, Lin Jun also had time to look at this dragon-man's panel in detail.

Before, he was either commanding the battle, setting traps, or fighting the dragon-man head-on.

He only had time to glance at her basic attributes.

Now that he pulled it down, a row of LV8 and LV9 made Lin Jun very excited.

However, this excitement disappeared very quickly.

Among the many pieces of information, three special entries were picked out by Lin Jun.

[Race Talent: Ancient Dragon Blood (All attributes increased by 20%)]

[Revenge Mark (Transferred to the murderer after death; the caster can track the murderer and cause extra damage to the murderer)]

[Title: Ancient Dragon Descendant (Main attributes increased by 50%)]

Thinking of that dragon claw just now...

Is there any way to cancel the fusion parasitism?
