Chapter 62 Disaster Strikes
Upon learning of the existence of a primordial monster, the Black Flame Dragon was determined not to let it go.
However, there are still some things to take care of before leaving.
Looking at the heavily injured dog-headed demon Vala, the Black Flame Demon Dragon pondered. These demons have strong vitality, and as long as they don't die on the spot, their injuries can slowly recover.
Such a severe injury takes a long time to recover.
At this moment, the shaman Mora, carrying a staff, came over and said with a fawning smile, "Your Majesty, leave Vala to this old servant. This old servant has a way to make it recover quickly."
"I almost forgot about you," the Black Flame Dragon realized.
As a shaman of the kobolds, Mora should be skilled at managing and healing them.
"Vara is in your hands now."
"Roar, Brod, come here." The roar of the Black Flame Dragon resounded throughout the underground space, and the violent pressure it contained instantly terrified more than two thousand demons.
After a day of "development," some more wandering dog-headed monsters joined the Black Flame Dragon Tribe, bringing the total number of monsters under its command to over two thousand.
Among them, there were more than a hundred minotaur monsters, each over 2.5 meters tall, all of which were elite units in the late stage of Tier 1.
Soon, a cryptid named Brod came running over, carrying a huge, four-meter-long, jet-black double-bladed battle axe on his shoulder.
The caveman arrived at the foot of the stone platform and bowed respectfully: "Brod greets the King."
The Black Flame Dragon growled, "Brode, how's your progress going?"
"Reporting back to the King, as you commanded, all the dungeon monsters are mining. They have already mined 370 units of refined iron ore and 47 pieces of associated lava crystal ore."
47 coins a day, twice as much as when I used to rely on luck to "gather" them, not bad. Blackflame Dragon nodded in satisfaction.
At this moment, Brod raised his battle axe: "Your Majesty, this is the Bloodthirsty Battle Axe that I just forged, made according to the requirements of Cyrus."
"This battle axe was forged from ten lava crystals, making it sturdy, sharp, and capable of doubling in size."
Moo! The minotaur standing to the side lit up with a burning gaze as it looked at the black flame dragon, making the dragon almost lash out with its tail.
"Serus, go try it out and see if it suits you."
Upon receiving the Black Flame Dragon's order, the Minotaur excitedly stepped forward, grabbed the massive battle axe from Brod's shoulder, and with a swing of his hands, a gust of wind howled.
Seeing this, the Black Flame Dragon felt a pang of regret, after all, it had used ten of its lava crystals.
However, the effect seems acceptable, and Brod can create extraordinary weapons, so the Black Cloud Blade in the human form can also be "processed" by it later.
"Mora, after I leave, the territory will be under your management."
"Shishan, Serus, each of you will take five hundred dog-headed monsters and set off with me."
"Once you reach the ground, each of you lead your team and attack the dog-headed tribes from one direction. Remember, only break through their defenses, don't kill them all."
"And when attacking, we must constantly shout slogans such as Lord of Fear, Dark Dragon Sogdis descends and will soon rule the land."
"Sokos, you are responsible for leading me to that spider-scorpion monster."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Moo!
Awooo!!
The dragon's territory was in an uproar. The chosen dog-headed and minotaur monsters roared excitedly and set off in a grand procession behind the black flame dragon.
With the help of lava giants and thousands of monsters, a ten-meter-wide, sloping mountain path was carved out of the thousand-meter-high rock wall in just one day.
In fact, with the Black Flame Dragon's strength, it could simply crush the mountain wall to get up there.
At the edge of the crack that tore the earth apart, the Black Flame Dragon stood on a slope hundreds of meters high, looking down at the endless dark red forest that came into view.
These trees are very tall, with many exceeding 100 meters in height. Their trunks, several meters or even tens of meters in diameter, are vigorous and dark red, while most of their leaves are blackish-gray.
Vines spread and weeds grew among the trees, but instead of a sense of vitality, there was a feeling of oppression and death.
There were no insects chirping, no birds singing, not even a single flower or fruit in sight; the ground was dry and hard, truly deserving of the name "abyss."
With such a harsh environment and scarce resources, how do those monsters survive?
"Serus, go this way. Around this location, once you cross this mountain, you'll see a dog-headed tribe. Stone Mountain, go this way..."
On the ground, Sokos drew a simple map with a few lines using his claws, and then described the locations of the small tribes to the two demons.
Whether they can understand it or not, the Black Flame Dragon doesn't know.
"Charge!" The lava giant, leading the team for the first time, roared excitedly, its heavy footsteps thundering as it charged westward with more than five hundred monsters.
Serus then headed in another direction, with a hundred minotaur monsters under his command.
This was an experiment by the Black Flame Dragon to see how much 'fear' could be spread by two demons leading the team, and how much the power of fear it gained would enhance it.
This relates to its future development direction.
"Come on, Sokos, lead the way."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Sokos vanished into the darkness of the forest in a flash. Because of their familiar relationship, the Black Flame Dragon could sense its exact location.
Bang!
The Black Flame Dragon smashed a tree blocking its path, its footsteps shaking the ground with each stomp, leaving a claw mark half a meter deep.
Dark red flames burned between the claws, and the high temperature cracked the ground, but the ground did not show any signs of magmaization, but instead turned into a grayish-white powder.
Its eleven-meter-long tail swayed from side to side, its sharp, sword-like tip also burning with flames. It swept across trees, cutting them down, and the occasional sparks that fell to the ground instantly ignited the vegetation.
Soon, a fiery passage formed behind the Black Flame Dragon, its destructive aura scaring away many monsters in the darkness.
After undergoing two bloodline evolutions and two rank advancements, the Black Flame Dragon, which is over twenty meters long, has muscle density comparable to steel and bone and scale armor strength comparable to alloy.
As for its weight, it is estimated to have exceeded 5,000 tons.
Normally, it's not very noticeable underground in the hard abyss, but now that it's on the surface, its massive size begins to show its destructive impact on the environment.
This is a disaster-level monster, meaning one that brings calamity to the environment and living beings!
At this moment, the Black Flame Dragon noticed that behind it, the trees ignited by the Dark Flame released a mist-like energy similar to water vapor after burning.
The dark flames only spread a few dozen meters to both sides before being extinguished by the smoke.
Whoosh!
A whooshing sound came from deep within the forest, and then countless monsters flew out. These monsters resembled bats, with wingspans of half a meter, and their entire bodies were covered in black fur.
Thousands of monsters had bloodshot eyes, filled with an endless thirst for blood.
Upon "seeing" the Black Flame Dragon, it ignored the terrifying aura emanating from the dragon and charged forward.
Bang bang bang! !
The dragon's tail swept across, blasting the air and leaving afterimages as it blasted bloodthirsty monsters apart in mid-air, splattering blood everywhere.
But there were too many of these monsters. In the blink of an eye, several bloodthirsty monsters pounced on the Black Flame Dragon, their mouths open, revealing two rows of small, sharp fangs.
Squeak! The red-glowing fangs rubbed against the dragon scales, making a sharp, piercing sound and leaving shallow marks.
The Black Flame Demon Dragon was immediately moved.
These monsters are small and low-level, but their vampire fangs have evolved to the extreme. Even with their defense, they can leave shallow marks on the scales without breaking them.
In just a short while, the Black Flame Dragon was covered with bloodthirsty monsters, except for its tail and four claws. The dense gnawing sounds made Sokos, who was hiding in the shadows, feel a chill run down his spine.
Furthermore, there were numerous bloodthirsty monsters surrounding them, and even though dozens of them were being whipped to pieces by the dragon's tail every second, it still couldn't scare them away.
It was a kind of madness stemming from an extreme craving for blood and food.
puff! !
The Black Flame Dragon swung its neck, which had become twice as thick, and bit off a monster that lunged at its head, but immediately its ferocious face showed disgust.
Ugh! It tastes awful.
Huff! The Black Flame Dragon took a deep breath, its chest bulging.
boom!
A terrifying sonic boom resounded, and rings of black shockwaves spread out from the Black Flame Dragon, causing the heads of bloodthirsty monsters to explode wherever they passed.
In the blink of an eye, the thirty-meter radius was cleared, leaving the ground littered with the corpses of bloodthirsty monsters, cracked trees, and broken branches.
Monsters within a range of thirty to fifty meters also fell with a series of crackling sounds, but their heads were shattered and their bodies were stiff and scattered all over the ground.
The Sonic Roar talent is best suited for this kind of area clearing.
"What a pity!" The Black Flame Dragon glanced at the corpses of monsters scattered on the ground; these were all sources of energy.
But these monsters were too small, only twenty or thirty centimeters long, and each one contained very little energy, so it was a waste of time and yielded little reward.
"Sokos, continue leading the way."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Sokos's figure flashed in the darkness, and he continued to move forward quickly.
