Flying Dragons, Seventh-Stage Insectoids!

Jian Jia and Qixia left after spending two days in Huaining City, and my life with Fatty returned to peace.

Several days later, at night.

Inside the residential complex, Lin Qingying changed into a dress and practiced skateboarding for a while downstairs.

Meanwhile, Li Xiang and I were practicing Street Fighter at the arcade machines outside the convenience store.

"Ding Han."

As Li Xiang frantically cranked the joystick, he turned to look at me and asked, "Will you and Little Ying Sister get married?"

"Ah?"

I was surprised. "Is this something a child like you should be concerned about?"

"I just wanted to ask, is it possible?"

I think so.

"Good!"

Li Xiang seemed to have gotten the answer he wanted, and said excitedly, "Lin Yuxiang, who came to the neighborhood with me a few times before, also likes Little Ying Sister very much. He said he wants to marry Little Ying Sister in the future. If you and Little Ying Sister get married, I will definitely tell him this good news as soon as possible, so that he can be happy too."

"Oh... is that the guy with the snotty nose from last time?"

"Right!"

I felt no tension whatsoever; that guy posed no threat.

A moment later, Lin Qingying came over on her skateboard and bumped into the small stool I was sitting on with a "thud." Her whole body went limp and she leaned against my back, her long hair falling over her shoulders. She whispered in my ear, "I'm tired. Are you and Li Xiang done playing? Did you go home?"

"OK!"

I frantically cranked the joystick, unleashing a combo of heavy kick, medium punch, scissor kick, and Mental Power spinning attack to defeat Li Xiang's character. I patted him on the shoulder and said, "Young man, you need more practice to improve!"

As she spoke, she gave him all the game coins I had bought.

"Ding Han, you've been holding back!"

Li Xiang looked indignant, then practiced frantically.

Inside the living room.

Lin Qingying into the room to get her clothes, preparing to take a shower.

Just then, a bell rang in my ear. At eight o'clock in the evening, the Guide had unusually issued an urgent mission.

[Attention all players! The Region Task "King of Glory City, in Imminent Danger!" (SS-class Main Quest) has been officially released! Issued by: The Guide. Quest details: The establishment of King of Glory City has finally provoked the wrath of the Zerg. A massive swarm of Zerg has been attacking King of Glory City since dusk. The Guide realizes the seriousness of the situation and requests your immediate assistance. A generous reward will be given based on your contribution after defeating the Zerg swarm!]

What's going on?

Within the star map, someone asked, "Why was an SS-rank mission suddenly issued? Is it really that urgent?"

"Extremely urgent!"

"Gun Like a Dragon" responded directly, "Those who are free, hurry up and come. Right now, the King of Glory City is full of insects. It doesn't even look like a swarm of insects anymore, it looks like a swarm of insects. I suspect it's an order from a high-level insect race, otherwise these insects wouldn't be fighting so desperately."

The Worldly Uncontested said, "Those who can come, come! If we can't hold out this time, the King of Glory City will be gone, and all our previous efforts will be in vain!"

I immediately said in the Team Channel, "Ding Han Squad, assemble in King of Glory City!"

The group chat was filled with "Received" messages.

Just then, Lin Qingying came out carrying a set of loungewear. I immediately stood up and said, "Qingying, I just triggered an emergency mission and have to go out."

"Is it dangerous?" she asked.

"It's a piece of cake, don't worry. Just work less overtime and go to bed early."

"Um!"

So, before Lin Qingying took a shower, I left directly, took out my Off-road Motorcycle from a dark spot downstairs, and drove off with the sound of an engine, heading straight for the Player Black Market.

A dozen minutes later, on the black market.

Ruolin was already there. I don't know when she dyed her hair wine red, but I have to say, it looked really cool with her heavy armor and Power Sword in hand!

"Ruolin, your hair..."

"Doesn't it look good? I just got it dyed at Tony's this afternoon."

"It looks good. Has the rest of you arrived?"

"They haven't arrived yet. Let's go check it out first!"

"Uh-huh!"

The two stepped into the Teleportation Array one after the other, and the next second they appeared in the King of Glory City. They immediately saw that the King of Glory City had been surrounded by the insect swarm, and the heavy machine guns and cannons on the city walls were firing continuously, turning the night into day.

Open the large map; the insect swarms are most dense in the north, appearing almost blackish-red on the map.

"Alliance Leader Long, did this swarm of insects come from the north?" he asked in a message.

"Clever!"

"The north wall is under the most pressure," Gun Like a Dragon. "Ding Han, take your squad and go directly to the north wall to hold it off. They need your firepower there, so get there quickly."

OK!

Ruolin and I rushed forward side by side, climbing up the steel city wall via the straight ladder inside the city. When we reached the edge, we saw a dense swarm of insects.

It all comes down to experience, but unfortunately there's a version lock now, so no player can break through level 60. Therefore, the Experience Points are all fake; what's really important is gaining some equipment, skills, and the like.

"Ding Han, you've arrived."

On the left, Yaoyao Is Here, holding a blue Assault Rifle, said, "Let's get to work! These insects have gone mad, forming a human wall under the city wall, it's outrageous!"

I craned my neck to look, and sure enough, the area below the city was swarming with level 1 and 2 insects. Right below them, they were stepping on each other's bodies, constantly spreading upwards.

That's terrifying! If insects developed intelligence, wouldn't they become invincible?

"Get to work!"

Without a second thought, I took out my Pink Explosive Gun and opened fire on the area with the densest concentration of bugs below the city. I used bombs, and the area-of-effect damage, combined with my 144% damage increase and 30% critical hit effect, made farming incredibly satisfying!

Soon after, Cai Cai, Kou Mei, Fatty, Faye, and others entered the room one by one.

Ding Han Squad eight went all out, suppressing the insects in an entire area. My output was the most outrageous; I switched magazines without stopping, allowing me to fight for a long time, unlike other players who had to stop every now and then to reload, which consumed a lot of time.

In the heart of the city, the figure of the Guide appeared behind the glass window of the lighthouse's main control room, directing the battle on site.

Thus, the entire King of Glory City was plunged into a fierce battle.

Around midnight.

A large number of insect corpses were piled up below the city. The players poured a lot of gasoline on them, set them on fire, and they burned wildly. The insect corpses exploded with crackling sounds, emitting a strong smell of burning and a strange fragrance.

"The Guide, the swarm is too dense. Use incendiary bombs, otherwise the pressure on the walls will only increase," Gun Like a Dragon said on the star map.

The Guide immediately said, "Players, please hold on! Incendiary bomb support is on its way!"

With a series of loud "bangs," the machines inside the city opened fire, and instantly, scorching flowers bloomed outside the city, illuminating the entire battlefield.

Insects are naturally afraid of fire, especially low-level insects. Incendiary bombs are practically deadly to scorpions, exploding insects, and hydralisks.

Swarms of insects chirped and screamed in the flames, then trembled as they burned, a sight that looked quite satisfying.

"Watch out over there!"

Suddenly, Lazy, Tea Tasting Pavilion, pointed into the distance and exclaimed, "My goodness... so many Caliban!"

From the darkness in the distance, at least 20+ figures of Caliban flew in, all level 70 Cyan BOSS, followed by a dense swarm of Caliban Blade Bug!

The blades of the Blade Bug are extremely sharp and possess a strong destructive power against human steel and alloys. If these Caliban and Blade Bug were to get close to the city walls, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Even if the walls of the King of Glory City are reinforced, they probably cannot withstand an attack for long!

"A large number of Tier 5 Caliban and Tier 4 Blade Bug have appeared on the north city wall!"

Gun Like a Dragon shouted loudly within the star map, "Worldly Uncontested, lead an elite force to reinforce us. Ding Han, you are in charge of commanding the northern positions. Do not let them destroy the city walls and foundations, or the King of Glory City will be gone!"

"We will do our best!"

Looking at the dense swarms of Caliban and Blade Bug before me, I couldn't help but feel a chill run down my spine. I said, "We can't let them get close to the city walls so easily. Ruolin, you come down with me to stop them. The rest of you, provide reinforcements!"

With that, he leaped into the air, carrying his Power Sword, and landed with a thud from the city wall, which was dozens of meters high, sending up countless ashes and dust from the insect corpses.

"Hiss~~~"

A Caliban opened its mouth, revealing sharp, white teeth, twisted its body, and bit down from the side, as if to tear me in two!

It's overthinking it.

The Glory Barrier hummed instantly, and under the impact of the Step Slash, its body suddenly lunged forward, effectively shoving the Glory Barrier directly into Caliban's mouth.

"Sizzle~~"

The sharp teeth bit into the Glory Barrier; the shield remained intact, but the opponent's teeth continued to disintegrate under the disintegrating force field!

My gaze turned cold, and I raised my Power Sword, summoning my Burst Skill — Star Vine!

"Boom boom boom~~~"

One after another, shimmering vines burst forth from the ground, entangled a swarm of Caliban and Blade Bug in place, leaving them vulnerable to the frenzied fire from the players on the city walls.

"Die!"

With a powerful swing of his left arm and a strong shield strike, Caliban, whose jaws were clamped shut, let out a long hiss, his tongue lolling out. Suddenly, the space between his upper and lower jaws loosened, and he became weak and powerless.

It seems like the jawbone dislocated from my hard blow.

With a spinning motion, just as the Caliban was howling in agony, he slashed its neck with his sword. Then, he flipped over and stepped on its back, unleashing a combo of Battle Roar, Overpowering Momentum, Consecutive Slashes, and Ash Sweep onto the back of its neck.

"Snap~~~"

The Power Sword unleashed a burst of deep red light, severing the opponent's neck. As the grotesque head fell to the ground, a treasure chest filled with valuable Ability Crystal also fell into the storage space.

"Holy crap..."

On the city wall, an Old Day Royal Court Firepower Specialist stared in disbelief. "Ding Han is really fierce... He can even kill Cyan BOSS in one hit?"

"Any Power Weapon will suffice."

Another person said, "You could do it too!"

Actually, that's not the case. Although the Power Sword can cut through gold and jade, the biological carapace of high-level insects is simply too thick, especially that unknown keratin layer, which the Power Sword can hardly cut through with one strike. Moreover, high-level insects are extremely agile, and instantly decapitating them is easier said than done.

The person Gun Like a Dragon should have a deep understanding of this. Although he also had Power Weapon, in terms of battlefield Points, he could only see my back at most.

However, now that he's dressed in pink, defeating the Cyan BOSS is indeed much easier.

It's like how the Nascent Soul stage suppresses the Core Formation stage.

The Glory Barrier swept across, smashing a Blade Bug to the ground. A flash of sword light, and a head the size of a soccer ball flew out. The Blade Bug was Orange BOSS, and killing it was really easy now.

After taking down two high-level insects in succession, head straight for the second one Caliban.

Not far away, Ruolin, carrying a shield and wielding Power Sword, was entangled by as many as three Caliban.

Fortunately, reinforcements arrived from the city walls. Kou Mei, Faye, and Bingzi each controlled a Caliban, while Cai Cai and Fatty were unleashing their fury.

"Damn, I'm here!"

A burly figure descended from the sky; it was Aji.

With his Sacred Blood Boiling, he grabbed a Caliban's forepaw with his Left Hand and pulled a Blade Bug's tail with his right, spinning around like Dian Wei, as if he were in an empty field!

Wow, that's powerful, but the health bar drops quickly too.

In another direction, a swarm of Blade Bug began a frenzied attack on the city wall, their sharp scythes cutting through the steel and reinforced concrete structure with a "crackling" sound, sparks flying everywhere.

"Oh shit!"

On the city wall, Worldly Uncontested gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Super Weapon Master with Combat Power of 50,000, come down with me! We can't let them destroy the city wall so easily! Hurry!"

Without hesitation, he charged down the city wall and smashed the head of a Blade Bug into the mud with his heavy shield.

Soon, more and more Super Weapon Master jumped off the city wall and engaged in a fierce battle with the insect swarm outside.

"Watch out for Caliban's attack!"

With a series of more than ten sword strikes, a Caliban fell to the ground with a scream, and I, standing on its back, landed with it. Looking into the distance, I shouted, "Be careful, brothers!"

Before he could finish speaking, a sword-wielding super weapon user was bitten on the calf by Caliban and dragged out of the crowd. Then, Caliban shook his head wildly, slamming him repeatedly to the ground.

In just a few seconds, the player's body went limp and was torn apart by a swarm of Blade Bug, turning into golden light and returning to the Teleportation Array to be resurrected.

Facing such a terrifying being Caliban directly is indeed too risky. Even with a combat energy level of 50,000, it might not be possible. It also requires strong reaction and operation skills, otherwise it would be a waste!

"Damn! That's too ruthless!"

The sword-wielding super-powerful Yu Bai from the Old Day Royal Court frowned and said, "Brothers, be careful!"

"Worldly Uncontested," the voice boomed, "Brothers on the city walls, coordinate well! Don't just focus on dealing damage; make sure to provide crowd control! Otherwise, the brothers below will just be giving away Resurrection Sacred Canon for nothing!"

"Control whichever bug is attacking us, ignore the ones further away!" I gave the order directly.

Finally, the situation in the city wall area stabilized somewhat.

With myself, Ruolin, Aji, Worldly Uncontested as our base, we formed a defensive line outside the north city wall, which basically prevented the nearby insects from getting close to the city wall.

Time slipped away, bit by bit.

The 20+ Caliban were all dealt with in less than 20 minutes, but the swarms of Blade Bug and the numerous Hydralisks attacking from a distance were equally troublesome.

Around 2 a. m.

Bathed in the firelight, the King of Glory City was ablaze with red.

But in the distance, a huge figure appeared, swaying in the night.

"What the hell is that?!"

I fired a flare directly in that direction, but it was too far away to see anything clearly.

"Shine the searchlights!"

The Guide hurriedly gave the order.

When the high-powered searchlights erected above the city walls shone their light, everyone saw a hideous face, like a skull, covered in blood-red keratinous armor, rapidly moving towards the city.

And there's more than one!

A sixth-tier blood beast, Pink BOSS!

"Depend on!"

"At least six blood beasts," said Yu Shi Wu Worldly Uncontested within the star map. "We can't let them get close to the city walls! These bastards are like they've been trained at Lanxiang Vocational School; their digging ability is incredible. They could breach our walls in no time! What other Black Technology does our King of Glory City have?"

"Have!"

The Gun Like a Dragon, declared, "Use the Soaring Dragon Cannon and fire directly!"

"Holy crap?!"

Cai Cai and Fatty were both shocked. When did players get such heavy weapons?

From the city center, the ground suddenly split open, and a giant elevator platform rose up, on which was mounted a massive cannon that looked incredibly powerful. Once it was higher than the city walls, it was activated and about to fire!

"Bang!"

A deafening cannon shot rang out, causing the earth to tremble. Immediately afterward, countless cracks appeared on the head of a blood beast outside the city. Then, a second cannon shot landed, and the blood beast's head exploded instantly, turning into a rain of blood!

That's incredible! Two shots and the Pink BOSS is gone!

Everyone stared in disbelief. This thing was a devastating weapon, somewhat similar to the Terran's giant cannon in StarCraft. Its power was terrifying; it could practically kill a Zerg kid with a single shot!

On the city wall, close-in weapon systems were raised and opened fire in unison.

Instantly, the Soaring Dragon Cannon, in conjunction with the close-in weapon system, blasted all six blood beasts to death on the outskirts, giving them no chance to approach the King of Glory City!

"Ding Han."

Below the city, Ruolin led a swarm of insects over and fought alongside me.

"Don't you think this swarm is too high-level?"

She frowned slightly and said, "Not to mention the 20+ fifth-tier Caliban, there are as many as 6 sixth-tier Blood Beasts. We only had two or three sixth-tier Star Nest Queen when we fought the final boss of the Medium Bug Nest before, so how should we assess this insect swarm?"

"Perhaps it's a large insect hive that has mobilized its entire army?" I said.

"It could also be a giant insect hive where the whole family has come," Cai Cai added.

"It's even possible that a Super Giant Bug Nest has come with its entire horde to provoke the King of Glory City," the fat man added.

Ruolin we're talking about being sarcastic, everyone in our team is definitely a top-tier player.

The battles continued, and the swarms of insects never ceased.

Around 3 a. m.

The swarm's attack finally subsided slightly, and I had time to open the chests, so I opened them one by one.

Most of the drops were experience, reputation, and Expansion Crystal, until a flash of blue light appeared before my eyes, and finally, a decent item appeared.

[The Lost Trident] (Quality: Cyan)

Rank: Sixth

Type: Monomolecular Spear

Base Parameters: Attack 1950-3200, Attack speed 0.8 attacks/second, Durability 5000/5000

Agility: +50

Strength: +48

Spirit: +46

Length: 1.9M

Weight: 48KG

Blessing: Lifesteal +8%

Specialty: Armor Penetration, ignores 33% of the target's armor.

Biography: The lost trident, thick and long, is said to be the work of a master craftsman.

Strength required: 800

As a sixth-tier cyan spear-type Monomolecular Weapon, this trident has quite impressive attributes!

With an attack cap of 3200, it's destined to deal explosive damage with various melee weapons. This thing is a good one; for a Tier 6 Gun Specialization superweapon, aside from Power Weapon, this should be the best choice for cyan weapons.

While Gun Specialization in the world, Power Weapon are few and far between, so the market for this kind of thing is still quite large. A rough estimate suggests that the conservative price is at least 500,000.

Let's keep it for now and sell it later!

I should pay back the 12 million I owe Xiaoying. Although she doesn't seem to care, I am. I can't really live off her, and it's best not to if I can avoid it.

After all, if someone lives off a woman too much, the relationship can easily sour, and this applies to both men and women.

It's 4 AM.

The eastern sky was already beginning to lighten, but the battle in the King of Glory City had not ceased. On the contrary, an even stronger wave of insect swarm attacks arrived once more, and under the illumination of searchlights, the figures of Caliban and the Blood Beasts reappeared in the distance!

"Damn! Again...!"

Cai Cai was speechless. She said in the Team Channel, "What did our King of Glory City do to deserve this? How did we manage to attract such a powerful swarm of insects?!"

"Don't forget that the current version is called Rise of the Swarm."

Ruolin said, "So, in this version, the Zerg are the main characters. The Zerg swarm started its crazy invasion of the Wilderness a few months ago. Not to mention us, even many of Dark Tide's bases have been wiped out by the Zerg. And the location of King of Glory City is a 'strategic point' between the Crimson Dragon Country and the Star Maple Federation. Who else do you think the Zerg would attack if not us?"

"Prepare for battle!"

I put away the Explosive Gun and drew my Power Sword again.

Half a minute later, they were locked in a fierce battle with a group of Caliban and Blade Bug, fighting to the last minute to ensure the northern city wall remained intact!

In the midst of the fierce, selfless battle, suddenly someone on the city wall shouted, "A point of light is coming! It's huge and fast..."

I quickly opened the large map, and sure enough, a giant red dot was rushing towards the King of Glory City from afar, like a missile, moving at an incredible speed, and in the blink of an eye it was already approaching the outer perimeter of the city.

This point of light was even larger than the point of light that the blood beast appeared on the map.

"No way?"

My expression hardened. "Could it be the Golden Legend?"

"That's quite possible!" Ruolin looked over in surprise.

The next moment, accompanied by a sharp screech, a colossal creature flew overhead. It was a flying creature with outstretched wings, enduring the fierce attack of the close-in weapon system and charging directly into the city.

"What the hell?!"

From within the star map, an unbelievable sound came from the Gun Like a Dragon.

"Watch out, its target is the Soaring Dragon Cannon!"

Shen Jin shouted, "Damn it... a few men, come with me and charge over there! Protect the Soaring Dragon Cannon! Hurry!"

"Boom!"

With a deafening roar from the Soaring Dragon Cannon, the flying creature in the air was struck in the abdomen, and flames spread rapidly. It was at this moment that we finally saw the true form of this thing.

Its body shape is similar to that of a pterosaur from the dinosaur era. It is greasy all over, has two powerful hind claws and wing claws under its wings, and its head is quite ugly, like the face of a demon.

Everyone had already witnessed the power of the Soaring Dragon Cannon. However, after being hit by one of Soaring Dragon Cannon shots, this thing didn't lose a single drop of blood. Its body just glowed faintly and made a hissing sound.

"Holy crap, what kind of monster is that?"

The Chaos Demon King was dumbfounded.

Just then, Shen Jin and his men climbed onto the elevator platform and posted the monster's attribute information directly onto the star map.

[Flying Dragon] (Cataclysm Tier, S8, Gold BOSS)

Level: 70

Attack: 18500-25000

Defense: 10000

Qi and Blood: 50,000,000

Skills: [Bio Flame Breath Lv.10] [Flesh Enhancement Lv.10] [Swarm Sense Lv.10]

Details: Mutalisks, Tier 7 Zerg units, are one of the rulers of the Zerg swarm. These Mutalisks originate from the Warp and can condense powerful Warp biological shields, making them impervious to guns and cannons. The Mutalisks possess extremely formidable physical strength, making them veritable steel beasts. Be extremely careful when encountering one!

Finally, here comes the seventh-tier unit of the Zerg swarm!

This is also the first Gold BOSS that we players will face!

"Holy crap, is this even going to work...?"

I frowned, turned around, and followed the zipline to the top of the city wall. There I saw the enormous figure of the dragon spiraling down, its hind claws outstretched, slamming hard into the base of the Soaring Dragon Cannon!

"Sizzle~~"

Amidst the flying sparks, the steel base of the Soaring Dragon Cannon was torn apart like tofu, a truly gruesome sight.

As for the dense barrage of close-in weaponry from the city walls, it was like scraping the wyvern's skin; the warp-like creature shield hissed and almost completely negated the damage.

This thing... seems unsolvable!

"Quickly save the Soaring Dragon Cannon!"

Shen Jin leaped into the air, leading a group of people to attack. With a twist of his body, he launched Leaping Chop skill, cleaving his sword towards the dragon's face!

However, at that very moment, the dragon suddenly opened its blood-red maw, and everything from its throat down to its abdomen and tail became transparent. Its body was fiery red, like a furnace spinning wildly!

"Phew~~"

A burst of flame erupted!

Bio Flame Breath!

The instant he came into contact with the Bio Flame Breath, Shen Jin's body melted, and the bodies of several players from the Ash Domain Guild behind him were also melted away, terrifying damage numbers leaping up—

"152273!"

"149922!"

"169727!"

"149823!"

It was a one-shot deal, absolutely no room for negotiation!

Even if it were me, I'd probably be instantly killed!

"Grass!"

In the distance, the Worldly Uncontested stared in disbelief. "How the hell are we supposed to play like this?!"

"Screw it..."

I gritted my teeth and charged forward with my sword. If I didn't make a move now, whoever went in would die. Since I was the number one fighter in Huaining City, I couldn't back down!

"Ding Han!"

Zhang Ruolin's voice came from behind. "Do what you can, don't push yourself..."

Just then, the dragon roared and with a burst of power from its claws, it tore the Soaring Dragon Cannon in two in an instant, a sight that was heartbreaking to watch.

The next second, the dragon soared into the air, facing the frenzied bombardment, and opened its blood-red maw, leaving a trail of scorching flames on the city wall, instantly melting the three close-in weapon systems nearby!

"My goodness..."

The Chaos Demon King was completely dumbfounded. "This is fucking invincible, how are we supposed to play against it?"

In the air, the flying dragon changed its target and actually attacked Ruolin, Cai Cai, and the others!

This is bad, I have to run back!

"Everyone, don't panic, try to control the situation!"

I shouted commands into the star map as I ran back as fast as I could.

"Phew~~~"

After a burst of Bio Flame Breath from the city wall, Yu Bai, Zhixiao, and others from the Old Day Royal Court were instantly killed. Fortunately, the fat man was agile and managed to flip over and land from the city wall into the city, escaping the disaster.

From all directions, countless players unleashed their skills.

A barrage of spells—Psionic Entanglement, Stardust Tendril, Silence Command, and Fear—fell upon us, but all of them missed. This dragon seemed truly invincible, there to punish and judge us, the players who had acted with impunity.

"Use invincibility in melee combat, go in and control the enemy, then leave!"

I continued to issue orders.

Suddenly, golden light began to rise around the flying dragon. Ruolin and Worldly Uncontested led a group of melee players to charge and use their rising dragons. Finally, one of them got lucky and was hit by In the Jianghu player's rising dragon attack, which made the flying dragon tremble and a large knockback icon appeared above its head for 1.1 seconds!

Although it's only 1.1 seconds, that's enough for me to try out an attack!

"Whoosh!"

The Explosive Charge brought me within 20 meters of the dragon, followed by a preemptive Leaping Chop. My body arced through the air and landed on the dragon's back.

In an instant, the world seemed to fall silent, and then I saw the flying dragon twist its neck and glare at me with its blood-red eyes.

Don't worry about what it thinks, just do it!

With a determined heart, he unleashed a full barrage of Battle Roar, Tian Gong Kai Wu, and Overpowering Momentum, then slashed fiercely at the softest, pinkest spot on the dragon's back!

That's right, do it on the tenderest part!

Unexpectedly, when the sword struck the "pink" area, there was no blood splattering or flesh being torn apart as expected. Instead, it was as weak and powerless as if it had been thrown into the sea. The sword was actually blocked by his warp-space biological shield!

Damn it!

A warp-space bio-shield that can withstand attacks from Power Weapon?!

I don't believe it.

"Ah~~~"

Just then, a "little fleshy bun" on the dragon's back actually spoke. It looked like one of those aliens with a long neck, with a nose and eyes, but it was extremely ugly!

The game assistant tool now tells me its name.

Parasites.

Rough!

Whose parasites look like this?!

I thought the roundworms that came out of people's poop back in the day were ugly and disgusting enough, but I never expected to see something even more disgusting today!

My entire worldview was shattered!

Just then, the dragon's wings suddenly spread out, and it twisted its long neck to look back at me with a strange expression...

It sounded like they were mocking me, thinking I was an idiot.

"Ding Han, be careful! It's about to take off!" Ruolin cried out anxiously.

In a split second, I made a decision: if I jumped off the dragon's back now, my brothers would still be tortured by this thing; no one could withstand a single Bio Flame Breath.

Therefore, I will definitely stay and give it a "Power Sword back split"!

"Buzz!"

Unleash your Burst Skill – Fantasy Shield!

The moment the 8-second invincibility effect began, he grabbed the parasite's head and, using the parasite as a fulcrum, seized the opportunity while the Overpowering Momentum was still there and quickly unleashed a combo of normal attack + Consecutive Slashes + normal attack + Ash Sweep + normal attack + Bloodthirsty Assault on the "pink"!

Instantly, after enduring a great deal of damage, it became even pinker!

Again!

He raised his hand and unleashed Shockwave!

"Whoosh!"

The Shockwave caused massive damage and finally broke through the warp shield. With a hissing sound, the shield dissipated, and the dragon took to the air with a sharp cry!

Oh no, it's going to do an aerial somersault!

What's worse, this parasite wasn't as powerful as I'd imagined. I managed to pull it right off the dragon's back, its bloated belly about to burst out. Once I pulled it out, I would lose my footing on the dragon's back!

Damn, let's give it our all!

With his Left Hand frantically pulling out parasites to maintain his balance, his right hand unleashed three consecutive sword strikes, slicing open the tender flesh with a "splat" sound, revealing the flesh and bones beneath!

"Ah~~~"

The parasite's small eyes widened, seemingly in fear. I pulled it off the dragon's back and threw it away. Just as the dragon began to turn over and I was about to lose my balance, I swiftly pulled out the cyan trident from my storage space and plunged it heavily into the dragon's bloody wound with a "thud".

This trident has barbs; it should be strong enough to support my weight, right?

Sure enough, with its body hanging upside down in the air, the flying dragon turned its head to look over, only to find that I was still there. It became even more enraged and its flight speed increased, soaring straight into the sky.

Is this trying to kill me?

Never mind, just chop it down!

With one hand gripping the halberd hilt and the other wielding the Power Sword, he slashed at the dragon's neck. With a series of "thuds," its skin was torn open, and without its warp shield, even its bones could not withstand the Power Sword's cuts!

Wrong!

When I looked up again, I saw a fiery cloud in the sky.

But that wasn't a fire cloud; it was a swarm storm of countless fire beetles!

The dragon roared wildly, sending out some kind of biological signal. Instantly, the fire beetles rushed over like madmen, tearing at my body with all their might.

However, the Fire Beetle is only a Tier 3 Zerg, while my armor is over 9400, plus a 28% Damage Reduction effect, so I have nothing to fear!

"Ding Han, how are you?"

From within the star map, the sound of Gun Like a Dragon, echoed, "You're getting farther and farther away, we can no longer see you..."

"It's alright, I'm not dead yet."

"That's good..."

Gun Like a Dragon didn't say much; after all, although he wasn't dead yet, he was actually close to it.

A few seconds later, I was covered in fire beetles. Although their attacks were generally not enough to break through defenses, they were quite disgusting and completely blocked my vision.

No choice, just keep hacking away!

My goal is to cut the dragon's entire neck off its body and see if it can still fly after that!

"Ding Han, where are you?" Ruolin asked.

We're almost in outer space.

I endured the bitter cold, feeling as if my breath was about to stop, and my palms and body were covered in frost. This flying dragon was truly powerful, taking me to a height that was not my own.

"Snap!"

Fortunately, the cutting operation went quite smoothly. In the instant the Power Sword was swung, it finally severed the dragon's spine. At the moment the spine broke, the dragon's powerful vitality quickly vanished.

Dead, First Kill!

[Congratulations to player [*Shadow] for successfully defeating [Flying Dragon] (Cataclysm Tier S8 Gold BOSS) and achieving the server-wide First Kill of Gold BOSS! Rewards: Achievement +9, Charm Value +3!]

That's a bit unfair; there are only achievements and Charm Value, but no extra rewards!

Although a deep Gold Treasure Chest ended up in my storage space, it was still somewhat disappointing.

"Whoosh!"

His body plummeted along with the dragon!

The faster the speed, the more unsettling it becomes.

"Ding Han, how are you?!" Ruolin asked.

"He might fall to his death..."

I suddenly had a sense of déjà vu from the movie "Pacific Rim," but I don't have chest thrusters to slow down, so my speed is destined to follow the principle of freefall acceleration, and I'll eventually crash to the ground and turn into a pile of minced meat!

On the earth, the King of Glory City grew clearer and clearer; it was still my landing point.

"Try the Phase Teleportation Core!?" Gun Like a Dragon said anxiously.

"Good!"

He quickly pulled out a Phase Teleportation Core.
