Slapped in the Face by a Dragon in an Instant

"Dangerous? Not at all."

Xiao Wen clicked his tongue and stepped in.

As soon as he entered, he instantly felt the atmosphere around him change, the sky filled with a palpable sense of grim killing intent.

Behind him, Kuriboh followed closely, its dragon eyes narrowed, a hint of fighting spirit appearing between its brows. A low dragon roar emanated from its mouth, echoing in the air.

Kuriboh glanced at Xiao Wen, then lowered its body, revealing its not-so-broad back, and let out a few low growls.

"You want me to ride on your back?"

Xiao Wen understood and climbed onto Kuriboh's back.

A pair of young dragon wings flapped, stirring up waves of air, and its body suddenly shot forward, its speed more than several times faster than Xiao Wen's.

Feeling the rushing wind against his face, Xiao Wen's mouth twitched.

In that instant, he seemed to understand what Kuriboh's low growls meant.

Disdain!

Blatant disdain!

Disdain for his summoner being too slow!

Riding on the dragon, Xiao Wen could feel waves of hidden energy flashing past beneath his feet.

Those with such energy were definitely not ordinary monsters, at least Elite-tier monsters or higher.

In just that moment, he sensed no less than several hundred Elite monsters.

Furthermore, in Nightmare Forest, the number of these Elite monsters was continuously increasing.

In that instant, Xiao Wen finally understood how significant the changes to "Phantom Gods" were this time.

He believed that the Monster Village Attack crisis wasn't limited to the Kyushu server; it was likely that all service areas across Earth were facing such a crisis.

It was just that some service areas had powerful players like Xiao Wen, some lucky ones, who could more or less learn some news about the Monster Village Attack.

The so-called Monster Village Attack was definitely the biggest crisis all players had encountered since the opening of "Phantom Gods"!

This could be seen from the sheer number of Elite monsters Xiao Wen felt in Nightmare Forest at this moment.

Suddenly, Xiao Wen felt Kuriboh's flying speed gradually slow down. Its young wings flapped, creating waves of air, and its body slowly descended from the sky.

The moment Kuriboh descended, Xiao Wen clearly felt a hidden energy filling the surroundings. This energy was even stronger than the offerings he had felt at the edge of the altar in Nightmare Forbidden Ground!

Of course, "stronger" here didn't refer to a higher life level, but merely an overwhelming presence within the same realm.

"Roar!"

Deep within the forest was a cold pond, from which wisps of white, icy mist rose, swirling in the air, faintly carrying some water vapor.

Xiao Wen narrowed his eyes, staring at the cold pond below. He then saw a huge dark shadow emerge from beneath the pond's water. As it floated higher, it revealed a formidable-looking croc turtle with sharp teeth bared, exuding a chilling aura. As it opened its mouth and exhaled, a thin layer of ice sand instantly formed on the lake's surface before it.

[Coldwater Croc Turtle]·Elite-tier

Level: 15

Attack Power: 1500

Defense: 2700

Health: 13000

Temperament: Cautious

Skill: Raging Current Shockwave

Description: A croc turtle that inhabits the edge of Nightmare Forest's core area. Influenced by Cold Crystal Jade, it has evolved and possesses innate control over water elements.

"A croc turtle? A turtle monster, but only Elite-tier. It shouldn't be a match for Kuriboh, which means there are stronger enemies deeper in this forest. Could it be..."

Xiao Wen's body stiffened, and the image of the four Lord-class BOSSes he had seen at the altar's edge that day flashed through his mind.

A monster that could command Elite-tier croc turtles was likely only a Lord-class existence.

Thinking of this, Xiao Wen couldn't help but look at Kuriboh, his expression showing a hint of worry.

While 3600 attack power seemed high, the Elite-tier Coldwater Croc Turtle before them had a defense of 2700. Defeating it wouldn't be easy.

Kuriboh looked at the croc turtle, a flicker of disdain in its eyes.

The Dragon race was one of the noblest creatures in existence, standing at the apex of the food chain. Even a young Kuriboh was no exception.

Lowering its head, its eyes glared at the croc turtle before it, and a dragon roar erupted from its mouth.

The dragon roars echoed in the air. The croc turtle let out a low growl, a hint of timidity flashing in its eyes.

"Already backing down?"

Xiao Wen blinked, appearing somewhat surprised.

As the croc turtle hesitated, a sharp glint flashed in Kuriboh's eyes. It furiously attacked, clenching its right claw into a fist, its wings vibrating on its back as it surged forward, punching towards the croc turtle's head.

Seeing this, the croc turtle dared not face the attack head-on. It immediately retracted its limbs into its shell and leaned forward, perfectly using its shell to block Kuriboh's punch.

Thump...

Health: -900.

A dull thud echoed, and damage appeared on the croc turtle, its health dropping slightly.

However, Kuriboh was clearly not satisfied with this result. It flapped its small wings vigorously, looking a bit dejected.

It didn't continue attacking, instead choosing to return to Xiao Wen's side. It raised its little fists and gestured towards Xiao Wen.

As it gestured, it let out occasional "Wuu wuu" sounds.

Xiao Wen looked at Kuriboh's mimed gestures and seemed to understand what it was trying to convey.

"You want me to teach you how to punch, to rip its head off?" Xiao Wen asked with a hint of doubt.

Seeing that Xiao Wen understood, Kuriboh nodded vigorously again.

"Damn, are summoned creatures this amazing now? Actively learning martial skills?"

Xiao Wen lamented inwardly, then glanced at the Coldwater Croc Turtle, which was still huddled in its shell without moving. He then adopted a horse stance.

Seeing this, Kuriboh mimicked him, bending its two short legs and half-crouching on the ground.

Immediately, Xiao Wen clenched his fists and threw a punch. The moment his arm swung out, his arm vibrated, moving fast, then slow, then fast again, forming a rhythmic frequency.

And at the instant his arm vibrated, this power transferred along his arm to his fist. A strange force erupted from his fist, an almost bizarre suction force. The principle was to create a vacuum zone in a short period by vibrating the air pressure around the fist.

One point was a vacuum with low air pressure, while the surroundings had high-pressure airflow.

At that moment, the surrounding high-pressure airflow would flow towards the low-pressure center, thus forming a suction force.

This was the principle of this martial skill!

It seemed simple, but mastering it in practice was extremely difficult.

"I say, little dragon, it's okay if you can't learn it. After all, not everyone is as gifted as your master..."

Before Xiao Wen could finish his sentence, he saw Kuriboh mimicking him perfectly. It then clenched a dragon claw into a fist and punched out. The surrounding air immediately fell into a vacuum, and a suction force tens of times stronger than before emerged.

"I... I didn't see anything... I didn't say anything..."
