Chapter 30: Gold Coins Galore! (Seeking monthly votes and continued reading)

"This young dragon's combat experience is far less than mine."

Judging from the speed at which the copper dragon initially chased him, Garos knew it wasn't much stronger. Even after using alchemical items to enhance its speed, it was still slightly slower than him.

And after the previous probing...

It was determined that his reaction speed was insufficient and his practical experience was limited, and the effects of the gold chain alchemy tool were also known.

This is a fledgling bronze dragon that hasn't experienced much real combat and is arrogant because it has some alchemical tools—Garos made his assessment.

"All the alchemical tools on it are mine now. Let it experience the dangers of the wilderness."

Galos's eyes flashed, and he changed his mind.

He had no interest in getting entangled with the bronze dragon at first, but after testing it, he realized that the dragon was not as strong as he had expected and that it also possessed a treasure, which changed the situation completely.

The bronze dragon continued its relentless pursuit.

Galos slowed down slightly to keep its opponent in line, in case it couldn't keep up.

After a while, the red iron dragon folded its wings, tore through the thick clouds and swooped down, suddenly disappearing from the copper dragon's sight.

"Can't fly anymore?"

The copper dragon was roused.

In its view, Garus's heavy and muscular body must have consumed a lot of magical energy while flying, and he must be exhausted now. With the amplification of alchemical tools, it could wait in comfort and now was the perfect opportunity.

Turning around, the copper dragon also swooped down, its neck scales and whiskers flying.

In the blink of an eye, it landed on the ground.

"Where did you hide it?"

The copper dragon scanned the surrounding environment and noticed the abandoned mine ahead.

Slowly approaching, the copper dragon looked down and saw several dragon scales scattered on the ground at the bottom of the rocky, rugged mine, as if they had been accidentally rubbed off.

"Hiding in a place like this is truly in line with the crude taste of a dragon."

The Watcher's Necklace, the large gold chain worn around the neck of the bronze dragon, emitted a defensive glow that covered its entire body.

It lowered its wings, circled and landed at the bottom of the mine, its eyes narrowed as it scanned the dark mine tunnels, trying to find Garus's figure.

Just a few seconds later.

The black rock beneath its feet suddenly trembled.

A chilling wind blew from the largest diameter mine tunnel.

"Evil hybrid dragon! Come, let me show you my power!"

The wary bronze dragon's eyes lit up.

But soon it realized that something seemed wrong; the ground was shaking too violently, and the sounds coming from the mine tunnels made it seem as if a huge creature was moving through them.

At the same time.

A huge black shadow burst out of the mine tunnel and was exposed to the sunlight.

This was an exceptionally large rock-crushing worm, its ferocious, meat-grinding mandibles filled with countless sharp teeth, lunging at the bronze dragon.

It was the King of Rock-Breaking Worms.

Because Galos had come here many times to capture Rock-Breaking Worms, the Insect King was now very wary and would suddenly attack at the slightest disturbance. Galos was well aware of this and took advantage of it.

"Ah, cunning dragon!"

The bronze dragon was terrified, realizing it had been tricked.

This is a trap.

It never expected that the Red Iron Dragon, which was even stronger than the Red Dragon, would have a mind that wasn't filled with muscles like the Red Dragon.

The copper dragon opened its mouth immediately.

With a flick of her tongue, she revealed an exquisite silver ring.

Taking a half step back, the silver frost ring on the tip of the copper dragon's tongue suddenly lit up.

freeze!

A powerful blast of cold air erupted from the mouth of the copper dragon, or more precisely, from the ring, resembling the breath of a silver dragon, and landed squarely on the enormous rock-crushing worm that was charging towards it.

A layer of frost instantly covered his body.

Then, with a teeth-grinding cracking sound, the ice layer that had formed on the carapace quickly shattered.

The Insect King continued its attack.

Taking advantage of its momentary sluggishness due to the influence of the insect king, the copper dragon rapidly flapped its flaming wings, taking off and rising into the air without pausing for a moment to avoid the insect king's subsequent pursuit.

But it didn't have time to relax.

A black and red dragon shadow suddenly rose from somewhere on the ground, its wings spreading out like a giant guillotine, emitting a terrifying shriek as it tore through the air.

The copper dragon was startled.

It opened its mouth and spat out a stream of orange-red, gel-like acid that expanded into a spiderweb shape in mid-air, descending upon Garus.

A torrent of fiery dragon breath surged from Garos's mouth, igniting the copper dragon's acidic breath and destroying its corrosive and sticky properties.

call!

The dragon's wings whipped up a great wind that stirred up flames, which swayed and billowed behind it like a cloak.

With an unstoppable and powerful aura, Garos charged straight toward the bronze dragon.

With his breath slightly catching in his throat, the bronze dragon facing Garros finally realized that he had made a mistake. This evil dragon was far stronger than he had imagined. Not only was it powerful, but it was also treacherous and cunning, and it would surely become a super evil dragon in the future.

In front of him, the Watcher's Necklace condensed into an even thicker curtain of light.

The bronze dragon was ready to meet the enemy.

Galos raised his right wing and suddenly sped off at an angle.

He channeled magical energy into his wings, and his speed increased dramatically.

—Normally, Garros relies on his well-trained and evolved wings to fly, rather than using magical energy to amplify his flight like other dragons.

His body traced an arc in the air.

Garos circled behind the bronze dragon almost instantly.

The muscle fibers at the tail were taut like steel wires, and the lightning rings hidden in the gaps of the dragon scales lit up, forming countless small snake-like arcs of electricity that attached to the dragon's tail, crackling and popping. At the same time, the current stimulated the muscles, causing them to burst out with even greater power.

Unlike the copper dragon which directly exposes two pieces of equipment.

When Garos is not busy, he keeps his tail ring hidden in the crevices of his dragon scales and never takes it out to show off.

In a posture similar to a front flip.

The red iron dragon's tail, trailing a full moon-like arc of light, struck the copper dragon's back with a devastating blow.

Click!

The light curtain suddenly shattered.

The light on the Watcher's Necklace went out suddenly, having used up all the energy it had stored.

The weakened tail struck the copper dragon's back scales, the sharp, blade-like scales slicing through them and leaving a gruesome, bloody mess.

The bronze dragon cried out in pain and turned its head away.

It opened its dragon-like mouth, and the silver frost ring on its tongue shone brightly once more, a chill quickly spreading through the air.

To deal with the hybrid of red dragon and iron dragon.

The icy shockwave generated by the Silverfrost Ring can deal double damage, and it is also the Red Copper Dragon's main weapon.

However.

Things that have already been exposed cannot be considered trump cards.

Garros was prepared. Before the copper dragon could exhale its icy breath, he rammed his head forward, striking the copper dragon's chin with a dull thud.

The copper dragon was forced to shut its mouth, unable to launch a counterattack immediately.

call!

Garos exhaled a large cloud of white gas at close range, enveloping the copper dragon.

This is another type of breath belonging to the Iron Dragon bloodline—Hypnotic Dragon Breath.

Creatures hit by hypnotic breath will enter a sleep-like state if their willpower fails them, and they will answer any questions.

A sufficiently old and powerful iron dragon can even hypnotize its enemies, turning them into puppets to do its bidding.

Blazing Dragon Breath, Electric Dragon Breath, Hypnotic Dragon Breath.

These are the three types of dragon breath that Garos possesses.

The copper dragon was hit in the face with hypnotic breath, and its vision blurred and it became drowsy. However, it was older and its mental strength was more resilient, so it was not hypnotized instantly.

Garus slammed his claw into the neck of the copper dragon.

Splash!

Many shiny things flew out.

These are gems and gold coins, which some dragons like to hide close to their bodies inside the scales on their necks.

With a flick of its wings, Garus caught all the gems and coins that had been dropped, then struck a few more times, taking away even more gems and coins.

Before the bronze dragon could recover its senses...

Garus snatched the red copper dragon's large gold necklace with a swift claw, and then, with lightning speed, used his claw tip to remove the wing ring, pried open its mouth, straightened its tongue, and took off the ring.
