My System is Too Awesome! Chapter 39

Bai Ye led the Thornback Earthwalker Dragon away from the valley, continuing to attack it to draw its hatred while luring it farther into the distance.

Although the Thornback Earthwalker Dragon was quite fast for a soul beast, Bai Ye, who possessed the Phoenix Dance Six Illusions movement technique, was even faster!

Therefore, after luring the Thornback Earthwalker Dragon out of the valley, Bai Ye easily led it far away from the valley first.

Then, after taking the Thornback Earthwalker Dragon on a circuit outside, he quickly returned to the valley ahead of it and saw Qing Lin waiting there.

"Did you get the egg?"

Seeing Qing Lin, Bai Ye could not help asking.

"Mm, I got it. Look, Young Master!"

With delight written all over her little face, Qing Lin lifted an egg larger than a human head from the ground and waved it before Bai Ye. Under the bright moonlight, the smooth dragon egg gleamed with a pale silver-white luster and looked quite beautiful.

"Good. Then let's begin the plan!"

Seeing that Qing Lin had gotten the dragon egg, Bai Ye immediately prepared to begin the plan.

First, he took Qing Lin and hid beside the valley. At the same time, he dug a pit in the ground and buried the dragon egg inside, preventing the Thornback Earthwalker Dragon from catching its scent.

Then, after the Thornback Earthwalker Dragon returned to the valley, discovered that its dragon egg had been stolen, and let out an enraged roar, Bai Ye immediately dug the dragon egg back out.

Upon catching the scent of the dragon egg, the Thornback Earthwalker Dragon immediately followed it out of the valley.

But by then, Bai Ye and Qing Lin had already taken the dragon egg to the campsite where they had once stayed. After circling into the woods behind the camp, they hid with the egg.

Before long, the Thornback Earthwalker Dragon followed the scent of the dragon egg and chased after them.

When it discovered that its dragon egg was actually among a group of humans, the Thornback Earthwalker Dragon immediately let out an enraged roar and charged straight at the camp.

"A soul beast! A soul beast!"

As the Thornback Earthwalker Dragon arrived, several Snake King Hall spirit masters standing guard outside the camp screamed in terror.

The Thornback Earthwalker Dragon's roar and the terrified cries of the spirit masters on watch naturally alerted Xu Zong and the other Snake King Hall spirit masters who were resting.

After leaving his meditative state, swiftly opening his eyes, and stepping out of the treehouse, Xu Zong immediately saw the Thornback Earthwalker Dragon not far away. It roared as it charged toward them with an unstoppable, berserk momentum, and his heart jolted in alarm.

"This is... a Thornback Earthwalker Dragon?!"

The moment he saw the Thornback Earthwalker Dragon, Xu Zong immediately discerned that its cultivation had definitely exceeded three hundred years!

This was clearly a powerful soul beast comparable to a Soul Elder.

Moreover, even an ordinary Soul Elder, or even a very powerful one, could never be a match for this Thornback Earthwalker Dragon unless their martial soul was strong enough!

If he had encountered this Thornback Earthwalker Dragon out in the wild, Xu Zong would have immediately fled with his men.

After all, fighting such a powerful Thornback Earthwalker Dragon brought no benefits even if they won, at most giving them a few extra meals of meat, while the price would definitely be heavy casualties.

And if they lost, they would be dead on the spot!

But now, it was no longer a question of whether they wanted to fight. This Thornback Earthwalker Dragon had already charged at them. Other than fighting, they had no second choice!

And because they had been caught completely off guard, they could not even flee now.

Other than Feng Lie, who possessed a flying soul skill, and another agility-attack Soul Grandmaster, no one else, including Xu Zong himself, could possibly outrun this three-hundred-year-old Thornback Earthwalker Dragon.

"Everyone, prepare for battle immediately! Control-system spirit masters, stop it!"

Facing the roaring Thornback Earthwalker Dragon as it charged furiously toward them, Xu Zong looked at its huge silver-gray body and the thorny spikes rising from its back, each as sharp as a spear, then gritted his teeth and roared.

At once, the two control-system spirit masters in the group summoned their martial souls and unleashed their soul skills at the charging Thornback Earthwalker Dragon.

The next moment, huge swathes of Iron Vine, green vines covered in pale yellow patterns, and golden Adamant Vine burst from the ground in front of the Thornback Earthwalker Dragon and instantly wrapped around its body.

But unfortunately, the control-system soul skills of these two Soul Grandmasters might have been able to restrain Soul Elder-level spirit masters and some relatively small hundred-year soul beasts.

Yet they could not restrain the enormous Thornback Earthwalker Dragon, which was like a land-bound tank!

Roar!

With an enraged roar from the Thornback Earthwalker Dragon.

A terrifying force and surging Soul Power erupted violently from its body, instantly snapping apart all the Iron Vine and Adamant Vine coiled around it.

Immediately afterward, the enormous Thornback Earthwalker Dragon opened its scarlet beast eyes in fury. Amid its berserk roars, it continued smashing through countless trees as it charged wrathfully toward Xu Zong and the others.

The control-system spirit masters' control soul skills could not restrain the Thornback Earthwalker Dragon at all.

And with the Thornback Earthwalker Dragon charging forward like an out-of-control carriage, carrying incomparably berserk momentum, the support-system spirit masters and Food System Spirit Masters behind them would likely have no time to dodge.

There was no other way!

The Snake King Hall's assault-system spirit masters could only roar as they summoned their martial souls and entered Martial Soul Possession. Then, some charged directly at the Thornback Earthwalker Dragon, while others unleashed soul skills against it.

But unfortunately, the Thornback Earthwalker Dragon was renowned for its defense. It could easily withstand even the third soul skills of Soul Elder-level spirit masters, so the soul skills of a group of Soul Grandmasters were naturally even less of a threat.

As for the spirit masters and Soul Grandmasters who rushed forward, intending to use their strength to stop the Thornback Earthwalker Dragon, they faced a creature whose body alone, excluding its head and tail, was as massive as a tank and was charging at them with overwhelming ferocity.

They were all sent flying at once!

For a time, the spirit masters of the Snake King Hall founded by Xu Zong were practically like toys before this three-hundred-year-old Thornback Earthwalker Dragon!

Of the assault-system spirit masters and Soul Grandmasters who charged forward, aside from a few who were relatively agile, most were rammed away while coughing blood. They flew dozens of meters before crashing into trees throughout the forest, vomiting blood as they fell to the ground, almost completely losing their ability to move.

The remaining spirit masters and Soul Grandmasters who had evaded the Thornback Earthwalker Dragon's charge received the support-system spirit masters' soul skill enhancements and, together with Xu Zong, gritted their teeth and tangled with the Thornback Earthwalker Dragon.

Since they were no match for the Thornback Earthwalker Dragon head-on, under Xu Zong's lead, the Snake King Hall spirit masters stopped confronting it directly. Instead, they continually split up and attacked it from every direction, forcing it to deal with them constantly.

Although this method was quite effective, the same problem remained.

The Thornback Earthwalker Dragon was a soul beast renowned for its defense. Even when the Snake King Hall spirit masters founded by Xu Zong struck it, their attacks were little more than scratches.

But any casual attack from the Thornback Earthwalker Dragon was more than the Snake King Hall spirit masters could withstand.

Thus, although the attacks of the Snake King Hall spirit masters founded by Xu Zong kept leaving wounds on the Thornback Earthwalker Dragon during the battle.

Snake King Hall spirit masters were also constantly being sent flying by its claws or swept away by its tail.

Fortunately, the Thornback Earthwalker Dragon was not skilled at biting. Otherwise, if it bit a Snake King Hall spirit master, it would not merely mean severe injury—they would ascend to heaven on the spot!

"Damn it!"

During the battle, Xu Zong watched as his subordinates were sent flying one after another by the Thornback Earthwalker Dragon. He was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

His most prized second soul skill, which could manipulate three elemental forces, was no more than a scratch against the Thornback Earthwalker Dragon.

Instead, his first soul skill, Black Marsh Nightmare Poison, which came from the highly venomous Black Marsh Nightmare Snake, could affect the Thornback Earthwalker Dragon because the Six-Headed Serpent martial soul was of extremely high quality.

Therefore, Xu Zong could only keep using his first soul skill, Black Marsh Nightmare Poison, to poison the Thornback Earthwalker Dragon. Only then could he force it back.

But as a dragon-type soul beast, the Thornback Earthwalker Dragon possessed extremely strong poison resistance, while Xu Zong himself was still too weak.

So after a long while, the Thornback Earthwalker Dragon finally began showing signs of poisoning. Its previously berserk aura gradually weakened.

"Now's the time!"

By then, Bai Ye had secretly knocked out every Snake King Hall spirit master who had been sent flying by the Thornback Earthwalker Dragon and damaged their identity plaques.

Now, seeing that only Feng Lie and an assault-system Soul Grandmaster remained beside Xu Zong, Bai Ye felt that it was about enough. It was time to lure the Thornback Earthwalker Dragon away.
