With Su Li's command, the Abyssal Corroding Slime army immediately hopped and charged forward.
Their half-mutilated tentacles flailed wildly in the air, like dozens of rabid octopuses.
"Roar?!"
The Flame Dragon Lizard felt an instinctive wave of disgust and apprehension as it looked at this group of strange creatures it had never seen before.
It subconsciously took a step back, emitting a warning growl from its throat.
"Is it scared?" Su Li's eyes lit up.
"It seems Abyssal Corroding creatures do have a deterrent effect on native creatures. So what if you're invincible? You're facing an enemy from the heavens now!"
Taking advantage of the lizard's retreat, Su Li had already circled around to its rear flank like a ghost.
"Trying to run? Did you ask my feet first?"
He suddenly lifted his right foot and stomped heavily on the path the lizard was retreating.
"War Stomp!!"
"Boom!" Dozens of thick Bone Spikes instantly rose up, forming a dense bone wall.
Although these Bone Spikes couldn't pierce the lizard's thick leg scales, they successfully jammed its steps, blocking its retreat.
The lizard's movement was momentarily obstructed, and in that instant, the outcome was decided!
"Chirp chirp chirp--!!"
The first few Abyssal Slimes in the front had successfully latched onto its face!
Their suction-cupped tentacles clung tightly to the lizard's face, trying to burrow into its nostrils and ears.
"Well done, explode for me!!" Su Li's mind raced.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!!!" Continuous explosions erupted on the lizard's face.
Although the self-detonation damage of the slimes wasn't particularly high, the corrosive liquid and Abyssal Corruption that burst out at that moment smeared the lizard's entire face.
"Roar--!!!" The Flame Dragon Lizard let out a heart-wrenching scream.
It frantically shook its head, trying to get the disgusting substances off its face.
But the highly corrosive liquid had already seeped into its most vulnerable eyes!
"Hiss sizzle..." The originally golden Vertical Pupils were now emitting white smoke. The intense pain drove the lizard into a complete frenzy.
It charged around blindly like an out-of-control bulldozer, its eyes closed.
"Whoosh--!!!"
Its Flame Breath swept wildly, instantly igniting the withered trees and rocks around it.
"Clang--!!!"
Pipi Axe, who was preparing to deliver the finishing blow, was directly hit by the lizard's flailing claws. He was sent flying like a home run, his plate armor scorched red by the high temperature.
"Now's the time! Another kick!" Su Li saw the moment the lizard lowered its head due to pain and activated his skill again.
"War Stomp!!"
"Pfft!" A Bone Spike that rose at just the right moment accurately pierced the lizard's bleeding Right Eye Socket!
[Corruption Accumulation Value Full! Crimson Corruption!]
Dark Red poison mist instantly spread from the wound. Shocking black spots appeared on the lizard's originally crimson body.
"It's hit by Crimson Corruption! No matter how thick your skin is, once you're hit by Crimson Corruption, this is my domain!"
"Strike while the iron is hot!"
Su Li's Soul Fire slowly gathered towards his mouth, aiming at the lizard's blood-soaked head.
"Fus--!!!" A semi-transparent shockwave swept out.
This time, the Dragon Roar's effect was unexpectedly good.
The Flame Dragon Lizard, which was still in a frenzy, trembled all over as if it were a herbivore encountering its natural predator the moment it heard the Dragon Roar, letting out a terrified whimper.
It didn't even bother to counterattack, turning around and charging back into its Cave, as if it were the only sanctuary.
"Huh? What's going on?" Su Li was a bit surprised.
"Could the Dragon Roar have such a strong bloodline suppression effect on Wyrms? Even a flawed version can scare it witless?"
"But if you want to go back to your den, that's exactly what I want!"
"Pipi Axe! Keep up! We'll trap the dog in its own kennel!"
Su Li called out and followed closely to the cave entrance, casually throwing a few Corruption Pots at the entrance, completely sealing the lizard's retreat.
Upon entering the Cave, the space inside was surprisingly large, with scattered animal skeletons and a smell of sulfur filling the air.
The Flame Dragon Lizard was currently cowering in a corner, issuing a paper-tiger warning to the two intruders.
The Crimson Corruption was frantically eroding its life force, making it look incredibly weak.
"Heh heh, weren't you very arrogant just now? You're called Flame Dragon Lizard, huh?"
Su Li sneered and snapped his fingers. "Go get 'em!!"
Splash! Four small finger bugs, which had been lying in wait beneath the cave floor for a long time, emerged from the dirt beneath the dragon lizard. Each held two slimes in its hands, bursting out like landmines.
"Surprised? Shocked?"
"Explode—!!!"
Boom boom boom boom!! Another round of close-range explosive feast.
The dragon lizard was blasted over, landing on its back and screaming incessantly.
"Good opportunity! Pipi Axe, chop it!"
Pipi Axe roared and charged, raising his battle axe high. He swung it down fiercely at the dragon lizard's relatively soft belly.
"Clang..." However, even though the scales on its belly were thinner, Pipi Axe only managed to inflict a bloody gash.
"Hiss—Still too tough." Su Li frowned as he watched.
I need to find a weak spot completely devoid of scales...
His gaze swept over the dragon lizard, finally settling on one spot.
"As the saying goes, even the toughest guy has his... ahem."
Su Li flashed forward, using the opening while Pipi Axe drew the dragon lizard's aggro to execute a spiritual flank.
He gripped the Corrupted Iron Sword with both hands, aiming at the spot he had scouted earlier.
"Watch this—Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Cannon!!!"
"Squelch!!" The sound of the blade cutting in was so smooth, with no resistance at all.
"One stab... two stabs... three stabs..." Su Li's hand speed was so fast that only afterimages could be seen.
Fast sword... slow sword... fast sword... erratic sword... slow sword... super fast!!! Have you ever seen a fast-slow sword technique?
"Roar!!! Wooo--!!!"
The already heavily wounded Flame Dragon Lizard let out a wail that transcended its species' limits at this moment, a wail that seemed to pierce the very depths of its soul in agony.
"Squelch... squelch... squelch... squelch?"
The Flame Dragon Lizard's body convulsed violently as if electrocuted, then its eyes rolled back and its limbs stiffened.
It was pain beyond what life could bear.
Rumble! The massive body crashed heavily to the ground, completely still.

At the same time, a warm current surged into Su Li's body.
[Dragonborn Profession activated: You have killed a creature with dragon bloodline in combat.]
[Gained trace Dragon Soul enhancement: Strength +1, Constitution +1, Faith +1]
Su Li stood beside the dragon lizard's corpse, feeling the surging power within him.
"This round, my stats just exploded!"
[Strength 36→45, Constitution 30→39, Spirit 32→41, Faith 5→6, EXP (1960/6400)]
"Both Strength and Spirit are over 40! Constitution is almost 40 too!"
"With my next sword strike, I'm afraid even Pipi Axe won't be able to withstand it."
After calming his excited emotions, Su Li turned his gaze to the massive corpse on the ground.
He hadn't forgotten the main purpose of this trip. "System, didn't you say it could turn into a mount?"
Su Li poked the dragon lizard's backside with his sword, pulling it out with a splash of blood.
"Why is there no reaction yet? Hurry up and transform!!!"
