With the appearance of the Mist Earth Swamp Dragon, a tense atmosphere filled the air.

Seeing Lan Bao'er's nervousness, Ji Dong immediately asked, "Bao'er, what are the characteristics of the Mist Earth Swamp Dragon?"

Upon hearing this, Lan Bao'er snapped out of her daze and hurriedly explained the habits of the Mist Earth Swamp Dragon: "The Mist Earth Swamp Dragon is a rare dual-attribute magical beast, possessing the power to control both water and earth attributes. It is accustomed to hiding among the earth's creatures, and becomes extremely ferocious once disturbed. What I don't understand is why Mist Earth Swamp Dragon would appear on Sacred and Evil Island!"

"Oh, what do you mean?" Ji Dong asked curiously, "Isn't it normal for such rare magical beasts to be born in the unique environment of Sacred and Evil Island?"

"That's true. But the Mist Earth Swamp Dragon is different." Lan Bao'er explained with a hint of fear, "It's a magical beast that is theoretically extinct."

"An extinct magical beast?!? How do you know that?" he asked excitedly, his face filled with disbelief.

No wonder I didn't see any information about the Mist Earth Swamp Dragon in my master's monster encyclopedia. How could such a powerful monster have ended up being extinct?

Fortunately, Lan Bao'er quickly explained the reason.

"I once read about the Mist Earth Swamp Dragon in one of my teacher's treasured books."

"Legend has it that the Mist Earth Swamp Dragon is a special magical beast born from the union of a dragon and Black Tortoise. This magical beast inherited the attributes of both parents, giving it the power to control both water and earth elements."

"Although the Mist Earth Swamp Dragon is classified as Subdragon, it is likely because its mother is the Black Tortoise, a divine beast of the Heavenly Stem Divine Beasts, and therefore it is not subject to the suppression of the True Dragon lineage. Its strength is also comparable to that of True Dragon of the same level."

"The reason why the Mist Earth Swamp Dragon were wiped out is because their lineage was inherently brutal. They liked to cultivate themselves by devouring other creatures. As long as it was for the purpose of increasing their strength, they would even attack their own kind. It is even said that they once attacked their own mother, Black Tortoise!"

"This heinous behavior has led to the Mist Earth Swamp Dragon lineage being shunned by many magical beasts, who will unite with other magical beasts to completely eradicate them if they are discovered."

"But this wasn't the primary factor in the extinction of the Mist Earth Swamp Dragon. The root cause lay within their own race. As mentioned before, the Mist Earth Swamp Dragon clan was a race that dared to devour even its own members for cultivation. When their clan was being hunted and slaughtered by numerous magical beasts, the Mist Earth Swamp Dragon leader, in an attempt to repel them, desperately tried to break through to the Saint Rank Saint Rank. And in doing so, he devoured all his clan members."

"So when Dragon Clan dragon-led magical beasts officially stormed into the foothills of the Mist Earth Swamp Dragon clan, there were no other Mist Earth Swamp Dragon left. Only the Mist Earth Swamp Dragon chief, who had already broken through to the Saint Rank, remained. And this clan chief eventually perished at the hands of the Dragon Emperor of that era."

"However, it now appears that this race has not been completely wiped out; some remnants of their bloodline still remain."

Listening to Lan Bao'er's description of the Mist Earth Swamp Dragon clan, everyone could only sigh in their hearts that the extinction of this race was inevitable.

Having the ability to devour is nothing special; as long as it is exercised with restraint, most magical beasts will only be wary of the Mist Earth Swamp Dragon clan.

As a result Mist Earth Swamp Dragon clan actually relied on their devouring ability to slaughter a large number of magical beasts, and even started fighting against their first Mist Earth Swamp Dragon's mother, Black Tortoise!

Finally, they even committed the insane act of killing each other. It would be an injustice if this race were not exterminated!

Hearing Lan Bao'er's words, Xu Xingyu and Gu Qiuxi exchanged a helpless glance, because if the habits of the Mist Earth Swamp Dragon were really as she described, then this magical beast, which did not appear in the original work, was likely to target them.

One possesses the supreme Dragon God Bloodline Dragon Clan, while the other possesses the Golden Dragon King Bloodline, an avatar of the Dragon God.

For a race dominated by the instinct to devour, it seems difficult to even take action against the two of them!

Mist Earth Swamp Dragon Tong stared intently at Xu Xingyu and Gu Qiuxi, his eyes filled with longing and greed.

With a roar that seemed to reach the heavens, the surrounding water and earth elements seemed to go out of control, transforming into a turbid tornado of water and mud.

In response, Xu Xingyu controlled the wind element to form a counter-rotating tornado that collided with it. The two tornadoes were locked in a stalemate, neither willing to give way to the other.

At that moment, Xu Xingyu was distracted, throwing Ya Lin'er, whom she was holding, to Lan Bao'er, and shouting, "Everyone, the Mist Earth Swamp Dragon in front of us is already a ninth-tier magical beast. This level of being is not something we can easily deal with. If we don't call for reinforcements soon, we may be in danger."

Upon hearing this, Ji Dong quickly replied, "That's true, but right now we can't escape this entanglement."

After a moment of silence Xu Xingyu, "Ji Dong, I remember you said that the military camp over there was under the command of your senior brother, right?"

"That's right..."

"That's fine, I'll take you there now. I'll leave the rescue and Ya Lin'er's situation to you. The journey might be a bit bumpy though."

"Wait, what do you mean...? I'll just say '#*&%'"

Before Ji Dong could finish speaking, the collision between the turbid tornado and the Wind Dragon ended with mutual cancellation. Xu Xingyu seized the opportunity and once again wrapped Ji Dong, Lan Bao'er, and Ya Lin'er, whom she had just thrown over, in an air ball.

What happened next made Ji Dong and the others want to curse: Xu Xingyu actually controlled an air sphere to float in the air, and then, in a throwing motion similar to throwing a ball, hurled them directly towards the military camp!!!

The air ball flew through the air at supersonic speed like a missile. The enemy, Mist Earth Swamp Dragon, thought it was an attack from Xu Xingyu and hurriedly dodged the air ball. He felt that even if he could block it, he would definitely be seriously injured.

The balloon carrying the excited passengers continued its flight towards the military camp. If you listened carefully, you could even hear several people cursing inside the balloon.

Xu Xingyu could only shrug at this. It wasn't that he didn't have a better way to send them over, but that would inevitably expose some of his strength.

The reason he sent Ji Dong and the others away was to deal with the Mist Earth Swamp Dragon without revealing his strength, because he couldn't possibly defeat the Mist Earth Swamp Dragon by relying solely on the power of the wind element, since wind attribute is inherently difficult to deal with earth attribute.

Thinking this, Xu Xingyu began rubbing his fists together. Finally, he could cause a ruckus after so long, and he would show them just how powerful the top magical beasts of this world really were!!!
