Chapter 40 40. Where does the dragon come from?
Dumbwind Town, Adventurer's Guild branch.
Mirabelle burst into the president's office.
Oberon glanced at his own intelligence chief with dissatisfaction and lectured him:
"You didn't even knock on the door. What a panic you are in."
"No... not good," Mirabelle panted and spoke intermittently, "The detection crystal... detected... strong magic power..."
"A strong magical shock was detected?"
Seeing that Mirabelle was out of breath, Oberon simply finished her words for her.
"It's just that the demonic tide broke out two days in advance. There's nothing to worry about."
Oberon now looked like he had everything under control, and was not at all as anxious as he was when he first learned about the demonic tide.
The two cities around Dumbwind Town, Yufan Port and Norweid, both agreed to send troops to suppress the demon tide.
It will only take two or three days to reach Yafeng Town.
The demonic tide is always weak at first and then strong. Even if it breaks out now, the pressure in the first few days will not be too great.
He recruited a large number of adventurers in advance, which should be more than enough to deal with the monsters that escaped in the first few days.
By the time the demonic tide develops to the point where the adventurers can no longer handle it, the army should have arrived long ago.
So, there is absolutely no need to panic.
Mirabelle looks like she's still not experienced enough.
Oberon looked disappointed with Mirabelle and shook his head slightly.
He gracefully picked up the small cup on the table and took a sip of the moon wine produced in the archipelago.
However, Mirabelle didn't seem to have finished her words yet, and continued:
"No... not only the magic vibration... but also resonance!"
“Ahem—”
Oberon coughed up all the wine he had just drunk and subconsciously retorted:
"Impossible! There is a demonic tide in other dungeons, there is no way the headquarters would not inform me!"
"It's not the dungeon in the United Kingdom," Mirabelle finally calmed down and said anxiously, "It's the Dragon Cliff dungeon in the Hermit Empire!"
!!!
Dragon Cliff Dungeon, one of the six large dungeons in this world, is located in the northernmost part of the Hermit Empire, close to the wasteland.
The monsters inside are mainly dragon beasts, and their strength is much higher than that of the Amethyst Dungeon.
The so-called resonance refers to the situation where the internal spaces of two dungeons that are hit by demonic tides at the same time are interconnected.
In this case, the statement that "the Demonic Tide is not very strong in the first few days" is no longer applicable.
Because the layer on your side may be directly connected to the deep area on the opposite side.
Other dangers of resonance depend on the object of resonance.
This time, the resonance with the Dragon Cliff Dungeon was much stronger than Amethyst, and it was obviously a very dangerous one.
"But...but how is this possible? This, this spans half the continent!" Oberon was still unwilling to accept it.
“Chapter President!
Dungeon resonance has nothing to do with distance. The important thing now is to find a solution quickly!
Adventurers who are unprepared will be defeated at the first sign of encountering a dragon beast!"
Mirabelle's voice rose in pitch, and she looked like she was going crazy with anxiety.
If the demonic tide really destroyed Mutewind Town, neither she nor Oberon would be in any good situation.
“You, you go and send all the forces of the guild over there.
Tell the logistics department to take out all the props for dealing with dragons and send them all to the gate!
I will contact the troops right away and ask them to speed up their journey."
Mirabelle nodded and was about to leave, but was grabbed by Oberon again.
"By the way, don't announce the resonance, just let our people take the props."
“…”
Mirabelle looked towards Oberon with a hint of fear in her eyes.
She understood that Oberon did this to prevent the adventurers from "backing down when faced with difficulties."
It seems to be the right choice for now.
But... so cruel!
The completely unaware adventurers will undoubtedly suffer heavy casualties when faced with the sudden change in the demonic tide.
Oberon is going to use their lives to hold back this demonic tide...

"Break out of the dungeon...destruction..."
Get out!
Get rid of those vague voices that pop up in your head.
Are the dungeon monsters affected by this thing?
The voice is quite magnetic.
But it seems to be of no use to me.
Compared to this sound, the monster that appeared on the fifth floor made Lin Jun more nervous.
dragon!
Are you kidding me?
When the head completely popped out of the crack, Lin Jun was completely devastated.
Are there dragons in the deep area?
How come I don’t know?
The "dragon" body appeared... Lin Jun was relieved instead.
This is not a dragon!
Instead, it was a monster that stood on all fours, looking like a dragon but not really a dragon.
Pulling open the panel also reveals its identity.
[Race: Dragon Beast-Blade Tail Whip Dragon]
[Level: LV42]
Draco beasts, a fairly large category.
Any monster with a bit of dragon blood can be included.
I thought it was a real dragon and was shocked.
However, even the dragon beast is not weak. The scales on its body alone provide LV5 magic resistance.
If you use your own mushroom cannon to hit it, the effect will be weakened a lot.
So, what will this dragon beast do?
Attack yourself?
Or rush directly to the upper level?
The tail of the Blade-Tail Whip Dragon was seen growing longer and longer, its dark red scales slightly curled up, and the bone blades on both sides completely extended outward.
When all the joints were fully extended, the tail extended from the original 2 meters to a blood-red whip of more than 10 meters.
It twisted its butt and the long whip made a sound of wind as it swung towards the Pujis.
Fortunately, Lin Jun was prepared.
【Assault Ejection LV5】
The Pujis all jumped back and avoided the tail whip.
No wonder it is called Blade-tail Whip Dragon, the name is very appropriate.
But we still have to fight!
As soon as the Blade-Tail Whip Dragon swung its tail, the Pujis' mushroom cannons landed on it.
The huge five-meter-long body made it almost impossible for Puji to miss.
More than a hundred mushroom shells bombarded the Blade-Tailed Whip Dragon, and even with its highly resistant scales, half of its body was blown into a bloody mess, and it could only wail in its dying breath.
To be honest, Lin Jun has no shortage of firepower.
In comparison, the two agile orcs of similar level are much more difficult to deal with.
But there is nothing to be proud of, because this is obviously just the beginning.
Two more dragon beasts of different species rushed out from the rift.
One of them actually had wings and flew into the air as soon as it came out.
Judging from the speed, it was the agile type that Lin Jun hated...
As a steady stream of monsters poured out from the rifts, the battle quickly entered a white-hot stage.
And this is just the guarded entrance.
On the other side, the rift guarded by only 30 Pujis was in a terrible state.
A two-headed dragon beast crawled out from it. The Pujis tried to attack, but the mushroom cannon was offset by the flames it sprayed.
The two Pujis that were close to them were burnt to a crisp on the spot.
I really can’t hold it…
Suddenly, a black shadow appeared from the crack, circled in the air, and suddenly swooped down...
Landed on the back of the two-headed dragon beast.
The two claws suddenly grabbed the dragon beast's neck, and the knuckles directly crushed the scales on the neck, and a large amount of blood oozed out from between the claws.
Then the sharp claws pulled the dragon beast's neck and lifted it up. No matter how the two-headed dragon twisted and spit fire, it was useless. In the end, the two heads were pulled off!
Too violent...
Lin Jun could now see clearly what this thing looked like.
The human-shaped body is wrapped in scales with a texture between cold iron and black jade. The folded dragon wings are attached to the spine, and there is a huge tail behind it.
Under the scales covering the cheeks, one can see a set of facial features that resemble those of a human.
[Race: Dragon Man]
[Level: LV58]
The dragon man's nose twitched slightly, and his golden vertical pupils looked at the Pujis not far away.
After seeing the plump and soft bodies of the Pujis, he looked down at the hard dragon head in his hand.
The two dragon beast heads were thrown on the ground like garbage.
The next second, the dragon man had crossed a distance of more than ten meters and picked up a struggling Puji.
He opened his mouth, revealing two rows of sharp teeth, and took a big bite with great anticipation.
