Chapter 72
The flames fell into the forest. In the summer when there had been no rain for many days, the trees were immediately ignited, and the flames shot up into the sky and spread all around.
After the flames, there was rain.
Jiang Li waved his staff and summoned a large area of water with water magic. The burning flames were quickly extinguished, leaving only the charred branches. But new flames fell in other places, and the water balls quickly chased after them.
Augustus held the sword tightly in his hand and looked up at the creature in the sky that was spewing flames and flying in strange trajectories. No matter how you look at it, it looks like the legendary dragon.
It’s just…it’s just…
“Isn’t that the legendary dragon?”
“It should be?”
“Didn’t you say that it was just a bedtime story your father told you?” After putting out the fire in a small forest, Jiang Li looked back at the shape of the mountain in the distance, and then looked up at the red dragon that had just eaten and drunk here not long ago: “There are really dragons so close to Dolei City?”
Augustus said blankly: “I don’t know…”
Who knew that the legend was true!
Not only that, the dragon also turned into a passing adventurer and enjoyed a delicious dinner with them…It can definitely become the next bedtime story!
The dragon in the sky struggled for a long time, until the spiciness in its mouth finally faded, it flapped its wings, and landed heavily in front of the two humans.
Jiang Li retracted his staff. The fire had just been extinguished, leaving only a camping lantern that was still emitting a faint glow.
The red dragon lowered its head, and its breath carried the heat of the flame. Jiang Li felt his hair and the corners of his clothes being blown hot. The dragon's head approached him, and in its huge yellow eyes, there seemed to be a sticky golden flow like honey, brighter than the fire.
Jiang Li looked at the alien creature in front of him curiously.
This is such a handsome dragon. Its scales are bright red and shiny, its sharp teeth are healthy and neat, its limbs are strong and powerful, its toenails are sharp, and its voice is loud. It is in its prime, a healthy dragon. Standing in front of it, Jiang Li is not even as big as its head.
"Human." The dragon said in a rumbling voice, "What did you feed me?"
The maker Augustus answered, "It's grilled meat with honey and cumin. I accidentally spilled too much chili powder."
Dragon: "Chili powder?"
Jiangli: "It's a kind of condiment. People who eat it for the first time...dragon, may find it hard to accept."
The small table had overturned and the seasoning bottles were scattered on the ground. Fortunately, there was a lid, so the seasoning inside did not spill out. Jiangli bent down, picked it up, and held it up to show it to it.
The dragon's sense of smell seemed to be sharper than that of a human. Smelling the familiar pungent spice, Serego wanted to sneeze again. The painful feeling seemed to still be on the tip of his tongue. The dragon subconsciously took a step back, and its thick tail slapped the ground behind it, dust flew up, and several trees were broken by its tail.
Jiang Li quickly packed up the seasonings and put them back into the backpack. The magic backpack that was originally stuffed full was almost empty, and all the luggage that could not be consumed went into the dragon's mouth.
He lifted up the tables and chairs, cleaned up the garbage on the ground, re-set up the fallen tent, restored the broken tools with magic, and then re-lit the campfire to illuminate the surroundings. Augustus was several beats late to react and help. During this time, he kept turning his head to look at the red dragon not far from them.
When Jiang Li was cleaning up the mess in the camp, Serego was also observing him. His golden eyes followed Jiang Li's figure and his head moved with his movements.
He looked no different from the humans he had seen before, but Serego knew that this human could come up with all kinds of delicious food.
Each one was more delicious than Gru beef. How many surprises would there be in the store called supermarket?
He made up his mind: "Human."
Jiang Li: "What?"
"I allow you to be my slave. Be grateful! Human, the sacred flame dragon Serego is determined to protect you until the moment the goddess takes your life." The dragon straightened up and raised his head high, "As my slave, from today on, every day, you must offer me the food you just tasted. Don't try to fool the dragon, Serego knows everything!"
His black fellow took in a slave. The last time he went to fight the black dragon, the slave's servants served the guy diligently. There was fresh food every day, and there was someone to maintain his scales.
If, if he could take the human in front of him as a slave, from now on, the human would be able to offer him such delicious food every day...
Crystal saliva was faintly visible at the corners of the red dragon's mouth.
But...
Jiang Li replied calmly: "I refuse."
The dragon narrowed his eyes dangerously: "You want to refuse?"
The dragon's angry voice was like thunder: "Human, you dare to refuse a dragon!"
"Yes." Jiang Li replied: "I don't want to be anyone's slave."
The dragon lowered its head again.
Its head approached the human. Such a weak human, as long as it gently spit out a breath of fire, it can burn it into ashes, open its mouth and swallow it in one bite. In Serego's long life as a dragon, he has never met a human who dares to resist him.
"That's ridiculous." It said arrogantly, "You can't afford the price of angering me."
Augustus held the weapon tightly in his hand and looked over nervously: "Jiang Li..."
Jiang Li was stunned for a moment, he sighed, and raised his weapon, "Even if you are very angry, I still don't want to be anyone's slave. If you must do this, I will do my best to resist."
Serego was disdainful of this.
"A magician." It said contemptuously, "Just a magician."
As a race standing at the top of the continent, dragons are creatures born with the care of gods. They not only have a unique strong body, but also powerful magic. No matter how powerful human talents are, they are not as good as the innate power of dragons in their short lives.
Jiang Li released his magic power.
Before he went out, he had specially consulted his teacher. He knew that he was facing a strong opponent and that he might not be able to defeat him even if he tried his best, so he did not hold back and released all the magic power in his body.
When the magic power was released, an invisible pressure spread. Dark clouds covered the moon, the forest was shrouded in darkness, and even the rustling sound of leaves blown by the wind gradually became lighter.
Augustus, who was closest to the dragon, immediately felt the pressure of this power, as if a mountain was pressing on his shoulders. His face suddenly turned pale, and cold sweat covered his whole body. He could hardly stand.
Serego also felt this power, but he didn't care.
Those tiny, weak, ant-like efforts, to the dragon, were like an ant trying to challenge an elephant without knowing the consequences. Human power, but... wait? What is this!?
Serego froze in an instant.
A huge, vast, and boundless magic enveloped it, as vast and boundless as the sky, as immeasurable as the sea, a huge and almost infinite power, pressing on it!
Serego raised his front paws, but found them incredibly heavy. He roared angrily from the depths of his throat, but soon disappeared in this terrifying power. A power more terrifying than any opponent he had ever seen before, a terrifying magic power that even the dragons of the same race could not possess... Is it this human?
Is it the power of this human?
Humans, can they be so powerful? !
"Roar... Roar--!!!"
Serego instinctively arched his back, and the wings behind him spread out, beating a fierce gust of wind in the air, and his four claws tightly grasped the ground. He roared at the human in front of him, and the ground under his claws trembled uneasily.
But so what, did he think the dragon would surrender so easily?
Such a weak human, it could kill with one claw!
Magical elements condensed at the top of the staff. Jiang Li stared at the giant dragon in front of him that was as tall as a mountain. His mind quickly recalled the experience of fighting monsters. He knew that he had to seize the initiative and compete with physical strength. He could not be the opponent of the monsters.
The light spread at the top of the staff and suddenly shot straight at the dragon in front of him.
Ordinary attack.
Serego didn't even dodge.
An attack that was powerful enough to kill a high-risk monster, but it was not enough in front of the dragon. Their hard and thick scales are the best shields in the world. No matter what attack, it can't break through the scales... Ouch! It hurts!
The magic attack hit the red dragon's forelimbs, and the hard scales nearby were broken by magic, and a few drops of dragon blood spilled out.
Although it was only a few drops of blood and only a little skin was broken, it still made Serego unbelievable.
How is it possible?
How can such a simple ordinary attack break its defense? The scales that it is proud of, even the claws of its own species may not be able to hurt it, but this human can...
work. Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief. It's okay as long as it works. He was still worried that the magic attack could not cause damage to the dragon.
Of course, Jiang Li also knew that it was impossible to defeat such a dangerous beast with ordinary attacks. Fortunately, his elf teacher taught him other magic.
The magic elements in the air began to surge violently, gathering towards the top of the human staff. The dangerous aura spread, as if even the moonlight was being absorbed. Feeling the surge of magic elements, Serego's golden pupils shrank.
This is...
This is a legendary magic...
Even ordinary attacks can hurt him. If he is hit by this powerful magic...
Dodge, dodge... No, that magic is too terrible, it can't move at all...
Jiang Li chanted the magic spell softly, dark clouds gathered in the sky above his head, silent thunder rolled in the dark clouds, and the trees swayed uneasily, but all the sounds were swallowed by the huge magic power, and the air became sticky, like chaos that could not be disturbed. The world was silent, with only the sound of him chanting the spell softly.
Beside him, Augustus could no longer hold on and fell down with a pale face.
The light on the top of the staff became brighter and brighter, and more and more dazzling. Just as Jiang Li was concentrating on casting the spell, suddenly, a light voice rang in his ears...
"Roar..."
The casting action paused, and Jiang Li looked up.
The red dragon lay down in front of him, with its tail wrapped around its hind legs, its open wings folded on both sides of its body, its head shrunk, and its golden eyes full of fear.
"Awoo..."
