Chapter 47 Dragons and Steel, Scaled Battle in Practice (Today's battle against Sanjiang, please continue reading)
The afterglow of the setting sun painted the sky above the hemlock hills crimson, and the scales of Garus gleamed dangerously in the twilight.
Centered on him, three Earth-Splitting Centipede Alchemy Demons suddenly burst forth from the ground from different directions. Their steel bodies cast ferocious shadows on the ground, emitting a piercing metallic scraping sound, and their limbs sparked dazzling sparks as they scraped against the rocks.
The first golem curled into a giant metal wheel, its high-frequency vibrating blades converging as it cleaved towards Garus.
The second golem opened its hideous mouth and spewed out a liquid that looked like it had been processed from black oil. This liquid instantly ignited into a raging fire in the air.
The outer shell of the third golem cracked, and countless armor-piercing steel nails shot out from it, like a torrential rain.
Galos took a deep breath and suddenly spread his dragon wings.
The dragon's guillotine-like wings slashed at the 'metal wheel'.
Clang clang clang clang!
Sparks flew everywhere as the dragon's wings and the blade-like segments of its centipede collided rapidly, producing a metallic clang that echoed and reverberated in the night.
The blade segments twisted and crumbled one by one.
There were also some gaps on the outer wing bone made of metal.
Then, with a flap of Galus's wings...
The centipede was thrown out, spinning and cutting down thick hemlock trees.
at the same time.
When the first Centipede was knocked away.
Raging flames and a torrential downpour of steel nails came head-on.
Galos neither dodged nor avoided, but stepped forward and straightened his chest.
The flames first fell on him, engulfing and covering Galos. Under the sweep of the flames, Galos grinned and revealed a smile. The scales on his body, after being quenched by the fire, were immediately stained with the color of branding iron.
Ding ding ding!
The armor-piercing steel spikes clanged and clattered against Garos's body, easily shattering his exploding scales and turning him into fragments.
Then.
With a shake of his body, countless fragments, engulfed in flames and glowing with the color of branding iron, slammed back at the two Earth-Splitting Centipedes.
Boom boom boom!
The shockwave and flames from the explosion instantly engulfed the two Earthshattering Centipedes, sending them flying and leaving them covered in cracks and dents.
The flames spewed from the mouth of the centipede that split the earth came to an abrupt halt.
but.
The fire burning on Garus's body did not stop immediately.
These flames are formed from flammable liquids produced during the processing of black oil, and are highly flammable.
Bathed in flames, the young red iron dragon spread its wings and flapped them lightly, then took a step forward with its head held high. Its scales glowed with the color of high-temperature branding, and the surrounding air distorted and steamed.
Although the flame was extraordinary, it was not a magical flame.
Not only could it not harm Galos, it also amplified his dragon might.
It seemed as if it had realized that fire was ineffective against Garos, and that ranged attacks were also not very effective.
The three centipedes stabilized their bodies, and the varying degrees of damage to the Earth-Splitting Centipedes simultaneously transformed into metal wheels. Their blade-like segments vibrated at a high frequency as they rotated in a wheel-like manner, slicing and flying towards Garus.
call!
With a flap of its dragon wings, Garus, enveloped in flames, shot towards the metal wheel like a fiery meteor.
A luminous, lava-like color shone through the gaps in the scales of the chest cavity.
Several centipedes attacking from different directions were reflected in his pupils.
Galos suddenly unleashed a torrent of fiery dragon breath.
The dragon's breath, carrying a powerful and forceful impact, first swept past the two Earth-Splitting Centipedes, sending them flying, and then directly pressed the last Earth-Splitting Centipede firmly to the ground.
Its black metal armor was visibly burned to a bright red and began to melt.
Both are flames, but Garus's Fiery Dragon Breath is far more powerful than the black oil fire spewed out by the Earth-Splitting Centipede.
Garos closed in step by step, his fiery dragon breath suppressing the Earth-Splitting Centipede, melting it into a twisted lump of scrap metal. The other two Earth-Splitting Centipedes, after this battle, realized they could not defeat Garos, so they decisively changed their strategy, no longer lingering in the fight, and began to retreat.
Burning dragon wings tore through the night.
The red iron dragon chased after the centipede on its right at top speed, and before it could burrow underground, it suddenly swung its tail sideways.
Sizzle!
The tail ring lights up, and electric arcs leap on the dragon's tail, enhancing the lightning's destructive power and stimulating muscle strength.
The whistling wind and the crackling of electric arcs mingled together as Garus's dragon tail moved with lightning speed, striking the Earth-Splitting Centipede with pinpoint accuracy, severely denting and cracking its outer shell. The silvery electric arcs penetrated every crevice, invading its body and leaping continuously inside and out.
Sizzle sizzle!
The centipede was relatively intact, but it collapsed convulsing, with pungent black smoke billowing from its joints.
Boom! The red dragon descended from the sky and crashed into the ground, creating a deep crater.
Samantha staggered and stood up, feeling dizzy and disoriented.
It tried to attack the third Earth-Splitting Centipede by descending from the sky, but it wasn't fast enough and failed to stop it, causing it to burrow underground. The Centipede itself was also sore all over from the recoil.
Without the daily training like Galos, one cannot achieve his formidable physique.
This attack method, which involves directly ramming the ground target at high speed, is not suitable for normal baby dragons.
After the third centipede burrowed underground, it immediately fled.
Since Garros didn't possess any spell-like abilities like underground travel, he didn't give chase. Besides, there was no point in relentlessly pursuing them. The appearance of these golems here meant that the area had probably been exposed. Even if he left them behind, the Blackrock Dwarves could still lock onto Hemlock Hills through the underground passages. It would just buy them a little more time.
"Dragon Lord, your power fills me with awe and submission!"
"These steel beasts are utterly no match for you! It is truly an honor to be your servant."
The battle was over, and the Earth Bear Mobel came to Garos and showered him with compliments.
Galos ignored it, quietly calculating and organizing the battle information in his mind.
"These three alchemical golems do not have a specific life level, so they cannot be detected. However, each of them is more powerful than an ordinary level 8 ferocious beast or monster. They know how to cooperate and how to adopt different strategies in different situations."
"Compared to them, the alchemical golems of the goblin tribe are like crudely made, easily destroyed toys."
"If they hadn't used their fire attacks on me, this battle would probably have taken much longer to end."
These combative alchemical golems are indeed formidable.
Galos didn't know the exact model of the Earth-Splitter Centipede, but judging from its size and apparent precision, it was probably inferior to the alchemical golems that guarded the ground.
"Ah, my alchemy workshop!"
Samantha yelled and jumped up and down in anger.
In the battle just now, its alchemy workshop was once again affected and destroyed. Moreover, it was the alchemy workshop that had been continuously repaired for five months and was no longer the original simple slab shed.
"Where did these damn things come from? I'm going to chase them down and kill them all!"
It said in a fit of rage.
Galos did not stop them, but instead encouraged them, saying, "They come from the troops stationed at an oil field under the Blackrock Principality. I'll give you a place so you can have what you want."
I?
Upon hearing this, Samantha's anger immediately subsided. She was joking; she remembered how she had almost been shot down and nearly died just by glancing at the sky from high above.
Although they are not the same place, it was a mining outpost that was attacked.
However, any place with a regular army stationed there is not easy to provoke.
"One cannot be too reckless in making dragons. I'd better think about it some more and let them live a little longer."
Samantha gave an awkward smile, then changed the subject, saying, "I'll go rebuild the alchemy workshop first."
"No, thank you."
Galos shook his head, his gaze sweeping over the vegetation and land of the Hemlock Hills, before decisively saying, "We can't stay here any longer. We need to find another territory."
The resources in the Hemlock Hills were already limited, and recently the water sources have been gradually drying up, resulting in fewer and fewer creatures inhabiting the area. Garus had to fly a long way to drink water and hunt, and he had already begun to consider moving his territory.
Now that he sensed the danger from the Blackrock Dwarves, he made up his mind to abandon this place.
This also means that the peaceful life of the past few months is coming to an end.
