As the largest slumbering undead dragon rider awakened, hills and mounds of various sizes, tens of meters, twenty meters, thirty meters, forty meters, and fifty meters away, all came alive in the same way. This was actually a bone dragon army in slumber!!!
Shaking off the remnants of the undead that had fallen on him from an unknown era, he stretched out his bone wings, shining bone-white, swayed his body, and his soul fire was lit up one by one like streetlights before the arrival of night. Bone dragons that had slept for an unknown period of time awakened. Some bone dragons had dragon riders on their backs, and some did not. As far as the eye could see, there were hundreds of bone dragons lighting up their soul fires!!!
The bone dragons' aura pressed down on heaven and earth. At this moment, it seemed as if the layer of skeletons on the ground was pressed down by three points. An unknown number of skeletons were crushed into powder. Dragons, even dead dragons, were still at the top of the food chain.
As the leader's enormous undead dragon-rider spear swung, hundreds of bone dragons took to the sky. Their synchronized movements flipped over the layer of skeletons on the ground, like flimsy houses ravaged by a typhoon, with no resistance whatsoever, they were swept into the sky. The direction of the bone dragons was towards Li Xi and his companions.
Because the number of attacking undead had sharply decreased, Li Xi still had time to say a few words to Cameron. An hourglass had already passed, and holding on a little longer would surely be fine. To escape from Gagarro's undead plane alive was something very few people had ever accomplished. In the future, when drinking and boasting, whoever heard this would have to bow their heads in submission and acknowledge their inferiority, only able to give a thumbs-up.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last. After only a few words of idle chatter, Hathaway suddenly stumbled and couldn't stand straight, interrupting Cameron and Li Xi's conversation.
"What's wrong?" Cameron asked anxiously.
Hathaway did not answer, but looked at the distant sky, her voice trembling with pleading, and said in disbelief, "I... I... I feel a strong dragon's might... the dragon's might of an eighth-level ancient dragon."
"Eighth-level?"
"Ancient dragon?"
As soon as Hathaway spoke, Cameron's face turned as pale as a corpse. The dragon-rider spear, with which he had been slaughtering undead like cutting vegetables, slowed down by more than a beat. Just when they had gained a slight advantage due to Li Xi's mighty display, keeping the vast majority of undead outside the wall, and it seemed they could leave here alive, you turn around and tell me that an ancient dragon is coming immediately. How can anyone live like this?
Li Xi also sensed a powerful aura rapidly approaching from the distant sky. He closed his eyes slightly, then opened them again. With his dragon-pupiled vertical pupils and double-hooked tomoe Sharingan, his entire world instantly magnified, and he saw the enemies in the distant sky that he couldn't see before.
However, after seeing them clearly, Li Xi couldn't help but curse inwardly. This was truly unlucky. He thought it was just one ancient dragon attacking, but now, looking at the hundreds of bone dragons and the dragon riders whose auras were no less than theirs, it was an ancient bone dragon leading its family. When did dragons learn to gang up on others? Weren't dragons supposed to disdain bullying the weak with numbers? Did becoming undead mean they could lose their shame?
"In our dragon clan's inherited memories, Gagarro once infiltrated our dragon graveyard and stole the bones of many of our ancestors. For this, Gagarro is still wanted by our dragon clan," Hathaway, without stopping, recounted the secret to Li Xi and the others that outsiders did not know. "Because this incident was very dishonorable, our dragon clan did not publicize it, and it was only passed down internally."
But her words were too late. It was likely that the stolen dragon bones were the bone dragons that were now rushing towards them.
"In any world, there are always people who dig up other people's ancestral graves."
Li Xi casually shattered a shadow clone. Shi Zhu, who was doing a mission in Cadiz City, immediately abandoned the mission he was halfway through and dissolved himself upon receiving the news.
'Kisame', who was protecting Aisi and Aivir in the shadows within the city, also received the news and emerged from the shadows, walking towards Aivir, who was busy with the Konoha merchant group's affairs. Li Xi had told Aivir about the shadow clones. Because of Li Xi's concern, she had once received a reward from Aivir that could not be revealed to outsiders.
"There's something going on with the main body, so I have to dissolve now. Don't make any drastic moves from now on, be careful."
"What happened?" It was only after understanding Li Xi's strength that she knew that Li Xi had to dissolve the shadow clone in Cadiz City, which meant he must have encountered a real difficulty.
'Kisame' blinked his shark-like eyes, which had more whites than pupils. It was clearly a lie. "It's nothing serious, the main body will be back soon."
After speaking, without waiting for Aivir to question further, he formed hand seals,
"Kai"
With a 'bang', 'Kisame' instantly turned into a puff of white smoke and disappeared before Aisi's eyes.
Aivir understood that the shadow clone must know what happened, but Li Xi's main body had forbidden him to say it, so he didn't.
Her expression changed several times. She couldn't imagine what kind of difficulty Li Xi had encountered. She had collected all the intelligence after Li Xi left. Even when he encountered the priest of the Sea God Set in the sea, the waves of Babiti were three feet higher than usual that day. Li Xi hadn't dissolved the shadow clone even in such a dangerous situation, so this time, the matter must be extraordinary.
Aivir walked to the window. The bustling Cadiz City was even more lively than before the two great changes. A large part of this was thanks to the Konoha merchant group, and a part was due to Li Xi's current fame spreading to all the surrounding cities.
The celebrity effect was remarkable, making Cadiz City a leader among the surrounding small cities. This was the celebrity effect, especially since the Adventurers' Guild seized this opportunity and promoted it tirelessly. A large number of foreign adventurers came to Cadiz City with a sense of pilgrimage.
They mainly wanted to see what the person, who was most likely to become the fifth S-class adventurer, looked like. Especially since this adventurer had just reached adulthood and had risen like a rocket to B-rank with a 100% completion rate. Clearly, he was a rising star in recent years.
"Sun Sandai,"
A small, dark bat flew from who knows where and landed in front of Aisi. "Master, I am here."
"From now on, you will stay by Aisi's side and protect her closely. Remember, don't let her discover you."
The black dragon Sun Sandai looked at Aivir in surprise. He was actually being asked to protect her love rival. "Then, Master, what about you?"
Aivir waved her hand and returned to the desk. "If something happens, I will notify you. Go now."
"Yes, Master."
Sun Sandai left. Aivir did not continue to handle official business, but picked up a document and walked towards the City Lord's mansion. The title of the document read 'City Guard Equipment Rental and Subsequent Supply Contract'.
The return of the power of the two shadow clones not only brought back the power Li Xi had distributed but also brought back the news that Aisi and Aivir were well and that Cadiz City was flourishing. At this moment, Li Xi's veins seemed to flow with something called power.
Although ancient dragons were eighth-level beings, Li Xi clearly felt a seventh-level presence. Even with the powerful dragon rider on the ancient dragon's back, the combination of the two reached the peak of the seventh level. They were still separated by a seemingly thin but unbreakable barrier from the eighth level. As long as they did not reach the eighth-level domain experts, Li Xi was confident he could fight them.
As for the other, slightly weaker sixth and seventh-level dragon riders and bone dragons, they would have to see. While they might not be able to annihilate them all, they could certainly hold them back.
"Doton: Doryūheki"
A wall fifty meters high and thirty meters thick rose from the ground, encircling Hemei and Galidos in the center. It was very strange that such a magnificent structure had a narrow top and a wide base.
"Doton: Kyūjin"
"Doton: Kyūjin" Su Dan Novel Network
"Doton: Kyūjin"
.............
"Bang" "Bang" "Bang" Fifteen "Maneki-neko" pot lids blocked the wall with a narrow top and a wide base, like a straw blocked by pearls when drinking milk tea.
Galidos didn't feel anything at first. In the shaking earth, he had just felt like he was at the bottom of a well when a large lid suddenly fell from the sky, covering the well. The sky suddenly went dark. Without any light, for him, a seventh-level demon hunter, darkness was more advantageous. He aimed at the red light spots of the undead soul fire and slashed.
In a space less than a room in size, Galidos could guarantee that there wasn't a single undead standing.
No matter what difficulties they encountered, the objective of the battle must not change. Li Xi had used ninjutsu to build a tightly sealed bunker dozens of meters thick to protect Hemei's successful burning through the spatial barrier. No matter who came, it could hold them off for a while.
The undead and undead knights outside were still foolishly trying to navigate the maze, posing no threat. As long as they could hold off the approaching bone dragons, they would have lifted the skirt of the Goddess of Victory.
A series of spells left Cameron dumbfounded. Looking at the castle, which rivaled the scale of Aisenburg's city walls, only four words remained in his mind: 'Divine Skill'. He wished he could shout at the top of his lungs and cheer madly for Li Xi!!!
'You are my god'!!!
"I have already seen the approaching bone dragon swarm. Fighting them would be too powerful. I need to intercept them from a distance. I'll leave this place to you."
"Brother Li Xi, don't worry. You've gone this far. If I still can't protect this place, I'll be too ashamed to live in this world. As long as I'm alive, no undead will be able to cross my defense line." The light in Cameron's eyes flashed like Noham's when he saw Li Xi in action. It was admiration, as if he had seen his faith and pursuit in Li Xi. Both were seventh-level powerhouses, but he, a veteran S-class adventurer, seemed like a small electric scooter next to a Harley-Davidson compared to Li Xi.
Li Xi nodded and instantly disappeared from his original position. The next moment, he reappeared at the edge of the labyrinth. Before the undead below could smell his scent of a living person, he flickered a few times and disappeared from Cameron and Hathaway's sight.
"It's hard to imagine there are such powerful beings in the world," Hathaway said with a slight frown. Li Xi's current display of strength was so formidable, and he had easily eaten a few dragons. Perhaps the aura she sensed from Li Xi was indeed the lingering smell of eating dragons.
"Isn't it better for teammates to be stronger?" Cameron was very fortunate that Li Xi had come with them. Otherwise, he really didn't know what terrifying and ugly forms they would have taken after being refined into bone dragons and riders. Looking at the constantly reviving undead, he clenched his dragon-rider spear with full confidence. "Follow me, kill!"
After Li Xi disappeared from Cameron's sight with the Shunpo Jutsu, a pair of red dragon wings suddenly sprang from his back. Countless rice-sized dragon scales emerged from beneath his skin. His physical strength, which had already been strengthened to the extreme, continued to increase after dragonization.
"Still not enough."
He clasped his hands together, and ninjutsu emerged from his mouth,
"Baika no Jutsu"
The dragon wings grew four times larger with a swish, like crops growing in the summer. The sharp wingtips cut through the layer of skeletons. At this point, Li Xi's dragon wings were almost as large as Hathaway's, and his body had grown four times larger, reaching over seven meters, making him a veritable giant. The rice-sized dragon scales had also become the size of peas.
"Go"
The sonic boom roared, and an unknown number of skeletons were instantly pulverized by the air. In the mist of white bone powder, Li Xi had broken the sound barrier and was charging towards the bone dragons.
Li Xi had a clear understanding of his own strength. He was definitely not an eighth-level being. His full power was only at the peak of the seventh level. Beings at the eighth level, who possessed domains, were truly insurmountable.
Since meeting Nasser, Li Xi had also studied what domains were. He summarized them as a power that could utilize rules. For example, Nasser's domain controlled the blood of all creatures within it.
There were also those who could invert black and white, alter light, cause visual illusions, cause blindness, deafness, inability to speak, and inability to chant. In the long history, there had been many different types of domains.
Some domains were very proper, but some domains were also very sinister.
Fortunately, based on the current situation, Gagarro was likely the only domain expert in the undead plane. The other undead were not. As long as Gagarro did not make a move, there was still a chance.
The bone dragon army flashed by in an instant. Li Xi, such a large target, coupled with the sonic waves generated by his speed, was visible even to a blind person.
All the bone dragons stopped. Smelling the scent of living people, their soul fires beat faster. They began to circle in the air, waiting for Li Xi to fall into their trap.
Unlike the undead they had fought before, the bone dragons and dragon riders before them retained some of their memories from when they were alive. As Li Xi approached, the bone dragons' bone-white breath, which could turn living people into undead, formed a thick fog, and their piercing dragon-rider spears were neatly arranged into a forest, intending to skewer Li Xi like a candied haw.
The bone dragon army timed their attack perfectly. Li Xi didn't even have time to dodge and ran headfirst into the fog formed by their breath.
The breath of each type of dragon was different. Black dragons had high-temperature breath that could melt gold and forge iron. Green dragons' breath was corrosive. Red dragons' breath was similar to black dragons', but more inclined towards magical attacks.
The breath of bone dragons was no longer the same as when the dragons were alive. Regardless of the type of dragon they were in life, their breath after death was a terrifying breath that could turn living people into undead.
