Chapter 85 Obsidian Arm
Just as Chen Yan picked up the meat and prepared to walk back, the narrow gap where the Assault Dragon had disappeared suddenly trembled, and then the Assault Dragon that had escaped suddenly crawled out again in a panic.
Judging from its size, it should be the leader dragon from before.
"Why are you back again? Did you know that Meimei and I have big appetites and are worried we won't have enough to eat? You're such a rascal!"
Chen Yan gripped the hilt of his knife, preparing to meet the charging dragon's chariot. However, the dragon completely ignored Chen Yan, who was blocking its way, and kept looking back in terror as it ran wildly, as if there was some monster more terrifying than Chen Yan chasing it.
Seeing the terrified Assault Dragon, Chen Yan assumed a stance for Iai Slash.
No matter what's chasing it, it has no reason to let go of the succulent that's willingly offered itself up.
Just as he held his breath and gathered his strength, preparing to finish it off with one blow, he suddenly saw an unknown liquid stuck to the fur on its neck at the last second before he could strike.
Yellowish-green, sticky, and hot, it looks a lot like—
The slime mold of the shattered dragon!
Chen Yan's pupils contracted, and he immediately abandoned his attack. This slime mold was not to be touched; it would explode if touched!
He abruptly stepped back, trying to get away from the exploding assault dragon covered in shattered dragon slime.
However, upon hearing the commotion, the Assault Dragon seemed to have its sights set on him. Even though the road ahead was wide open and it could run whichever way it wanted, it relentlessly chased after Chen Yan, seemingly trying to drag him along with its soon-to-explode slime.
"Why are you chasing me? Go find the Shattered Dragon and fight him to the death!"
Faced with Chen Yan's roar, the Assault Dragon let out a mournful cry. It couldn't help but turn around to look, and as soon as it saw Chen Yan turn around, it immediately raised its head, exposing its vital neck.
At the same time, in a corner of Chen Yan's mind, a nearly colorless bubble slowly took shape.
Unlike the domineering golden bubble that occupies the center, it cowered in a corner as soon as it took shape, appearing ethereal as if it would burst at any moment.
[Assault Dragon issues a quest: Kill me!]
With a "snap," my good buddy who was just running alongside me exploded into a shower of minced meat. His death was too gruesome; I don't want to die like him. That person's knife seemed incredibly fast; the companions who died at his hands didn't seem to feel any pain at all?
[Commission Fee: Low inflammation tolerance/Thick fur/Sudden impact]
The monster request that suddenly appeared in Chen Yan's mind made him understand why the Assault Dragon was chasing him so relentlessly.
Upon closer inspection, Chen Yan noticed that its fur was not only covered with a thick layer of dragon slime, but also a layer of sticky, dripping blood and bits of flesh. Considering that two dragons had clearly escaped earlier, but only this one dragon had appeared, Chen Yan understood.
After they escaped, they probably encountered another Fragile Dragon that was hunting.
The carnivorous monster, the Brachydios, lacks sharp teeth and has a poorly developed neck, so it rarely tears its prey apart. Instead, it uses slime mold to fry its prey into pieces before leisurely eating it.
This assault dinosaur most likely witnessed its companion, covered in slime, being blown to pieces right in front of it, which is why it offered no resistance and only sought death. It seems that it knew very well that dying at Chen Yan's hands would at least be less painful.
"Alright, in that case..."
Chen Yan drew his sword and turned around. Upon seeing this, the Assault Dragon braked without hesitation, raised its head, lifted its short front paws, and even stood up on its tail.
It exposed all its vital points to Chen Yan, seeking only a swift death.
Understanding its intentions, Chen Yan said no more. His crimson blade flashed across the sky like a whirlwind, creating a fierce wind as it slashed at the dragon's neck.
Chen Yan stared intently at the neck of the Assault Dragon, not missing even the smallest detail where the scales and hairs connected.
Just as the blade was about to strike its neck, which was covered by thin scales, Chen Yan slightly twisted his wrist, causing the whistling blade to deflect slightly.
The sharp blade sliced across its scales, producing a fine cutting sound, and with a flash of light, a clump of red hair covered in shards of dragon slime flew into the sky.
Chen Yan, who had transformed into a dragon crystal barber, viciously shaved its fur.
"I've been wanting to get rid of your red hair for a long time, and today I'm going to shave it all off!"
The Assault Dragon stared blankly at Chen Yan, who was giving it a haircut.
With his solid basic skills, Chen Yan, combined with the sharp and decisive [Red Leaf], could even shave the fur cleanly from the small gap between the horns and the skull without hurting the skin, and quickly gave it a bald head.
The bald-headed Assault Dragon with two short horns is absolutely hilarious.
Chen Yan shook his hand with satisfaction to remove the stray hairs stuck to the [Red Leaf]. A gourmet who doesn't want to be a hairdresser is definitely not a good katana swordsman.
He glanced back at the trembling gap, kicked the stunned bald assault dragon in the rear, and didn't forget to shake his head to show off his full head of black hair.
"I have plenty of hair, I don't need your stupid quest reward of thick fur. Run, and don't ever run into me again!"
Instead of running away, the Assault Dragon charged at him, unaware of the hostility. Chen Yan let it crash into his arms. The Assault Dragon rubbed against him with its bald head, the hard bristles making Chen Yan grimace.
Chen Yan raised his hand to stroke it, but was afraid the stubble would prick his hand, so he could only rub its head in the air.
"Alright, alright, run! Otherwise, if that petty, ruthless Shattered Dragon comes out, we won't be able to escape."
The Assault Dragon gently bit Chen Yan's shoulder, tearing a small piece from his already tattered clothes. It held the piece of cloth in its mouth, looked Chen Yan over carefully, and then ran off into the distance.
As it completely disappeared from sight, the small, weak, helpless, and pitiful task bubble in Chen Yan's mind seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and quietly shattered.
After seeing off the Assault Dragon, just as Chen Yan was about to run away, a loud explosion came from behind him, and the narrow gap was blasted open. A Broken Dragon appeared, panting heavily and rubbing its fist-like front claws.
A trace of blood and flesh still clung to the corner of its mouth, and its small red eyes, full of savage intent, stared at the fur scattered on the ground.
It slammed its fist into the ground, directly detonating the slime on the Assault Dragon's fur from a distance. After the violent explosion, apart from the smell of burnt fur filling the air, there was no blood or flesh exploding and flying everywhere.
It has eaten so many Assault Dragons, but it has never seen one that can shed its hair on its own. It must have received help from someone who is pretending to be a stone.
It stared at Chen, who was crouching in the corner pretending not to see it, tilted its head slightly, lowered its body, gathered its strength in its hind legs, and jumped in front of Chen Yan.
"I knew I couldn't fool you..."
Chen Yan drew his sword, preparing to face the furious barrage of punches from the Shattered Dragon.
But the shattered dragon that had jumped in front of him suddenly narrowed its eyes and took a few steps back. It stared at the little dwarf in front of it in disbelief, put its fists in front of its body to protect its vitals, and shook its head to carefully get closer and take a few deep sniffs.
Now it was certain that the extremely dangerous smell came from the little dwarf.
It rarely adopts a defensive posture, so it circled Chen Yan twice, which was really hard to understand.
This human looks incredibly weak, but why does it smell like it's about to experience a Spartan-style upbringing from its mother dragon?
