Chapter Thirty-Six: Slaying the Dragon

  The Nibru Waterfall to the south of Echo Valley is picturesque. The big trees with lush branches and leaves surround the waterfall, and the water falls down like a curtain, with the splashing water droplets creating a spectacular scene.

  Facing the beautiful scenery in front of them, Mochi and Xia Linxiao were both deeply attracted to it, and their hearts were completely absorbed by the beauty of nature.

  After Xia Lin Yue walked across the suspension bridge, she gazed at the water splashing down from the waterfall, reflecting a kaleidoscope of colors under the sunlight. She couldn't help but exclaim: "The scenery here is truly breathtaking, it's just like a paradise on earth! No wonder I've always heard people rave about its beauty with such enthusiasm."

  Mudustar gazed at the rushing water in front of him, and the magnificent scene also spoke up: "Yes, I've never seen such a magnificent scene before. If I hadn't come here to see it for myself, I wouldn't have believed that this place was so beautiful! But let's get down to business first, shall we?"

  Xia Lin Yue immediately woke up from the beautiful scenery in front of her after hearing Mu Chen Xing's words. She nodded and began to prepare for action against the Red Dragon.

  If they hadn't known beforehand that there was a ferocious red dragon in the middle of this waterfall, they would never have imagined that such a picturesque place could hide such danger.

  This time, to deal with this lone red dragon, Muxin Xing and Xia Linxue were well-prepared. Various anti-fire equipment was fully prepared, such as the Flame Ring, which each of them had one, and the precious Fire Red Crystal, which had a strong resistance to flames, was worn by Athena.

  Mudan Xing then put on a mysterious ring he bought from the mysterious man, which increased his attack and defense, magic strike, agility, and also had an additional effect of causing the opponent to have a certain probability of becoming disoriented when attacked. He wore the Earth Clothes.

  Xia Lin Yue wore a Magic Manipulation Jade and an Inverted Cross, items that increased magical attack power.

  To increase the chances of success in this dragon-slaying operation, Musashi took out all three automatic robots he had painstakingly assembled from a pile of military supplies on his wristband over the past period. They were handed over to Athena for control and prepared to launch an attack at any moment.

  After that, Muxun Xing and the others first collected the hidden items here, including the Devil Crystal and the Wind Chaser Feather, so they wouldn't forget them when fighting later.

  Muxun Xing saw that everything was ready, so he confidently said to Xia Linxue: "Linxue, let's start the dragon-slaying operation in a moment. Be sure to pay attention to safety."

  Xia Lin smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've long been looking for a powerful target to test my combat strength after this period of time. You should be careful though, that red dragon's fire magic is extremely lethal."

  Mudustar nodded and immediately put on his specially made helmet. With the brain wave amplification function of the helmet, he began to conduct a full-spectrum mental scan of the waterfall in front of him. Meanwhile, Xialing held her crystal sword and activated her special ability, rising rapidly into the air above the waterfall under the protection of a whirlwind, ready to take action at any moment.

  At this time, the originally clear sky around the waterfall was also affected by Xia Linxiao's ability, and dark clouds began to gather slowly, with thunder and lightning wandering in the cloud layer.

  And Athena on the ground had already commanded the automatic robots to arrive at several newly selected locations, waiting for the Red Dragon to appear before launching an attack.

  As the dust star continued to strengthen its mental perception, it carefully detected a place behind the waterfall after a while, and finally found a biological body with strong spiritual power in a hidden location.

  Mudanxing sensed through his spiritual intuition that the opponent's mental strength was exaggerated, and it seemed that this was the red dragon they had come to deal with. He immediately launched a mental attack on the opponent who was resting.

  Although Mudustar was very clear in his heart that his spiritual power attack might not cause much harm to this red dragon with strong spiritual power, his main purpose was to provoke the opponent.

  As expected, the red dragon resting behind the waterfall was enraged by Mudan Xing's provocative actions. Along with a very loud roar coming from behind the waterfall.

  Not long after, a huge figure appeared in the air in front of the waterfall. The whole body was covered with sparkling scales, with a pair of wide dragon wings on its back, strong and sharp limbs and claws, a thick tail, and a huge head, at this time a pair of yellow eyes were filled with anger staring fiercely at Mudan Xing.

  The dragon is indeed one of the most powerful creatures in the magical world, and just its appearance alone is enough to intimidate anyone who isn't mentally tough, causing their legs to turn weak with fear at first sight.

  "Take action!" shouted Mudustar immediately.

  As soon as Mudustar finished speaking, the three automatic robots located in different positions immediately used their rapid-fire machine guns to pour a hail of bullets at the large target in front of them, launching the first wave of attack.

  As a wave of bullets hit the body of the red dragon, a large amount of sparks immediately burst out. These bullets did not penetrate that hard dragon scales at all.

  The red dragon, after being hit by a barrage of bullets, immediately flapped its wings and dodged the continuing hail of gunfire. With astonishing speed, it charged towards an automatic robot and swiped at it with its powerful front claws.

  The fully metallic body of this automatic robot, crafted with modern technology, was instantly reduced to a pile of scrap metal under the brute force of Red Dragon. As it turned its head towards Athena and two other robots that were turning around, it opened its large mouth filled with sharp teeth, and a wave of scorching dragon flames swept in.

  Athena, who couldn't dodge in time, and the two automated robots were immediately engulfed in a raging inferno. The two automated robots instantly exploded.

  Mudustar took advantage of the Red Dragon's attack on Athena and immediately launched his latest developed psychic skill "Restriction", directly using his powerful psychic power to restrict the action ability of the Red Dragon in front of him, but he was very clear that with his current strength, he would not be able to restrict the opponent for a long time.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, Muxun Xing exhausted all his strength to release the "Restrict" spell, but in front of Red Dragon's powerful spiritual force and robust physique, it only lasted for less than three seconds before being easily broken free by the opponent.

  At this time, in the sea of flames, Athena suddenly charged out with a spear in hand, leaped up and stabbed it into the back of the red dragon with all her might. The metal-made spear easily pierced through the hard scales of the red dragon under Athena's powerful force, deeply stabbing into its body.

  As the spear pierced in, the red dragon felt a sharp pain and immediately let out a thunderous roar. It shook its body violently, shaking down Athena who had not yet stood firm.

  The Red Dragon immediately used its sturdy tail to deliver a powerful blow to Athena, who was still in a state of free fall. The massive force instantly sent Athena flying towards the rocky wall behind Stardust.

  The enormous force of the Red Dragon embedded Athena's entire body into the rock wall, and a large number of cracks appeared on the hard rock wall behind her, showing the magnitude of this blow.

  Fortunately, Athena's body had undergone a thorough reinforcement by Edelgard's power, so she should be able to withstand this blow. If it were Mioda instead, her skeletal system would probably shatter.

  However, the enraged Red Dragon was clearly not ready to stop yet. It now wanted to thoroughly annihilate these two insignificant humans who dared to harm itself. It immediately flapped its wings and hovered in mid-air, preparing to use its strongest fire magic, Flame Prison Blaze.

  Mudustar smiled at this extremely dangerous situation, because his goal had already been achieved. Red Dragon was suspended in mid-air at this moment, preparing to use magic, and he was waiting for this moment.

  A bolt of lightning struck the red dragon with great precision as it was preparing its magic, and for a moment the flash of light was so dazzling that people couldn't open their eyes. The powerful lightning at this time all flowed along the snake spear that had pierced its body, pouring into its body in succession.

  With a loud screech, the red dragon that had turned completely charred fell heavily from mid-air, causing a considerable shockwave on the ground.

  At this time, Xia Lin Yue slowly descended from the air to the side of the red dragon. She smiled and said to Mu Chen Xing and Athena who arrived afterwards: "One hit kill, how about my lightning strike? Athena, is your body okay? Just now I saw you being sprayed by the high-temperature flame of this red dragon!"

  Xia Lin Yue immediately replied: "My body didn't suffer too much damage, the items I was carrying released a special energy that blocked part of the heat."

  Seeing the Blazing Ring and Fire Crystal in Athena's hand, Mochou Xing and Xia Lin couldn't help but look at each other. They didn't expect these items to be so effective. It seems that they can be used for future actions as well. However, their attention shifted back to the red dragon in front of them, which was already dead.

  Originally, with the hard dragon scales of Red Dragon and the innate magical resistance of the dragon tribe, it should not have been instantly killed by a single lightning strike. However, the problem was that there was still a metal spear on its back that had already pierced into its body, and a large amount of electricity poured into its body through this good conductor.

  Although the Red Dragon has the protection of dragon scales on its exterior, which can reduce the damage to its body from lightning, the flesh and blood under its skin is just as fragile as that of other living creatures. The powerful electric current has already destroyed most of its internal organs.

  Mudustar gazed at the red dragon in front of him, emitting waves of roasted meat fragrance, and couldn't help but say: "This red dragon is almost cooked by lightning, I don't know if we can still find useful blood."

  Xia Lin Yue observed carefully for a while, then smiled and said: "I think this dragon head hasn't been damaged much by the lightning, try to see if you can get some blood from this place!"

  After hearing Xia Linxiao's words, Muxin Xing immediately began to inspect the relatively intact dragon head part. After a careful examination, he finally found some well-preserved blood in the eye socket area and quickly used the collection device to collect all the blood.

  As for the already roasted red dragon, it was not wasted either. Muxu Xing casually stored it in his storage ring. In his opinion, these cooked meats would also make a good ration for later, anyway he had never eaten dragon meat before.

  As soon as the Red Dragon's corpse was taken away, a treasure sword and a Holy Demon statue appeared on the ground. Who would have thought that this time's luck would be so good? Not only did he obtain the fourth-ranked Longyao Sword in the game's sword system, but also the Holy Demon statue that automatically restored magic, which is a rare and precious item.

  Just as Mudan Xing was holding the Longyao Sword and the Holy Demon Image with a happy smile, Xia Linxiao reminded him at this time: "Mudan Xing, I remember that in all the stories, there are a lot of treasures in the Dragon Cave, we can't miss this!"
