The two half-dragons reacted extremely quickly. In their extreme rage, they opened their lizard-like snouts, and the acid sacs in their mouths began to contract, preparing to ejaculate—
But I can't outrun you.
[You strike with your inner energy in mid-air, forcefully turning at supersonic speed, and with a sweeping kick, you cut across the waist of the nearest half-dragon as easily as slicing through tofu.]
It was also easily divided into two sections, just like tofu.
[The third strike is a burst of energy. You continue to step into the air, disregarding acceleration and recoil, because you can withstand it. In a mere second, you forcibly reduce your speed from slightly more than double the speed of sound to zero. A shovel-shaped crater is blasted into the ground below by your energy. At the same time, you bend backward at the waist into a flexed position and point out a burst of energy with one finger.]
[The pure white energy, if projected onto other top-tier martial artists, could only travel less than five meters before dissipating into the air.]
But now, what you've pointed out is like a sniper bullet!
[In an instant, it covered a distance of over 30 meters, piercing straight through the half-dragon's open mouth. Its acid was already poised to erupt, but now it had been directly struck through the head. Some of the dark green acid even flowed from the back of its skull, dissolving its scales and sending up white smoke.]
[One palm strike explodes the skull, one leg severs the body, one finger pierces the brain!]
The total duration of this battle was less than two seconds!
[You completely disregarded the other kobolds. Although only a dozen or so of the sixty-odd kobolds were killed in the aftershocks of the battle, more than half of the remaining ones suffered internal injuries.]
More than thirty lay on the ground groaning; of them, twenty probably wouldn't survive the day. Only a dozen or so were lucky enough to suffer only minor injuries.
These little lizardmen have slender limbs, and their wrestling strength is even greater than that of a ten-year-old boy. You could easily kick a few stones with your toe and pierce through three kobolds that are in a straight line.
At this moment, the sorcerer and wizard arrived. The former looked at you with admiration, while the latter was annoyed: "Where is the wisdom you had when you overcame my 35 riddles? Why are you so reckless? Aren't you afraid of alerting the enemy?"
"It's alright," you shook your head. "We'll have to fight in the end anyway."
"And—" you poke your brain with your index finger: "My intellect tells me that all I need to do is unleash my power to sweep all of this away!"
[Witch: "Then why did you come to us?"]
"Even the strong have their limits; even the wisest can make a mistake."
Although what you said was mostly self-praise, it made them feel a little better.
"Fight some mobs and do the dirty work of clearing out traps."
Translated by Yun Shou.
"Of course, the most important thing is to watch him show off as a spectator."
The three of you have stormed into the cave.
Although the cave was dark, it didn't feel cramped; instead, it was a maze of interconnected passages, almost like a small village.
[On the way, the witch summoned five orbs of light that circled around you, illuminating the dark passages and underground fissures dozens of meters away with crystal clarity.]
[She explained along the way that this was actually a rather large cavern, formed entirely naturally. After all, even with the power of the kobolds... it would take them several thousand years to corrode such a large space, even if they kept spewing acid.]
[However, these natural grottoes have poor environments and lighting, making them unsuitable for human habitation. Legend has it that two or three hundred years ago, some shady sorcerers established their secret experimental bases there, but they later moved away.]
Then, in recent decades, a small group of kobolds moved into a cave. These guys were incredibly weak and hadn't caused much trouble in all these years, at most attacking people who ventured into the mountains, so no one bothered to deal with them.
[Until recently, something seems to have changed...]
The cave had many gaps, and every now and then a small but swift figure would leap out, but none of them managed to launch a sneak attack. The hissing sound of their bodies rubbing against the stone walls as they moved through the cave was amplified several times over, so even an ordinary person could detect their approach in the shadows if they were calm.
[After walking several hundred meters, the view suddenly opened up, revealing a wide-open space. Inside, over three hundred kobolds huddled together, guarded like prisoners, and watched over by six half-dragons.]
The orbs of light floating around you had long ago attracted their attention, and two half-dragons charged forward, their heights reaching 2.3 meters and 2.5 meters respectively!
One is comparable to the early stage of a Grandmaster, while the other is close to the late stage!
[The Vajra sorcerer beside you roared excitedly, his body hair grew thicker, his muscles swelled, and his head transformed into a bell shape, simultaneously sprouting three faces.]
The gorilla, as tall as a four-story building, leaped up and charged forward. The previous space was too cramped, only allowing for partial body transformations, making it extremely stifling.
Now we can finally act freely.
The witch shook her head repeatedly as she looked at the scene below: "Including the two that just left, this small kobold tribe has actually given birth to eight half-dragons, and there might be even more hidden deeper inside. There's definitely something fishy going on!"
【"Place--"】
You nodded: "So I suspect that either some dragon blood treasure has been unearthed deep within the cave, or a sorcerer with dragon blood is conducting experiments here."
The witch stared, her mouth agape for a long moment before closing it. She desperately wanted to say that the line she had just spoken was hers, but you had beaten her to it.
"Indeed, they spoke first."
Yun Shou couldn't quite hold back.
"It was one thing to answer the easy questions before, but why are you interrupting me in this situation?"
[The two of you are communicating up above, while a giant gorilla is running around and smashing things down below.]
He is a "Alien Sorcerer (First Realm)" with a relatively high bloodline. His level is only equivalent to a Grandmaster at the peak, but his combat power is probably close to that of a Xiantian (Innate) cultivator at the "Heavenly Origin Cleansing" stage!
[His only flaw was his large size, which made him somewhat clumsy. The agile half-dragons dodged his massive punches, leaving him with bloody welts and torn fur.]
[Several times I was nearly set on fire, or sprayed directly into one of my faces with acid.]
[But if you glance into the future every few seconds, and precisely time your attack to break an arm or leg of the corresponding half-dragon, you'll earn a grateful look from one of their faces.]
[Until—a roar echoed from the depths of the cave.]
