The Thunderbug, which functions as a power bank, can even be "thrown" by the Zinogre as a self-destruct grenade, forming a ball of lightning to attack enemies.
Once the Thunderbugs, these "power banks," are completely wiped out, the Zinogre will be unable to use its super-charged state, which activates its body and greatly enhances its combat power.
Faced with Qin He's speed, even the thought of attacking became a pipe dream. Flying claws tore through the Thunder Wolf Dragons' sluggish movements, leaving trails of blood.
Qin He also spewed out large amounts of fire, attempting to burn away the Thunder Wolf Dragon's fur, which stored electrical energy. If one fire breath wasn't enough, he would freeze it with frost breath. There were many ways to destroy it—
At the same time, Qin He also had the upper hand in terms of physical fitness.
Even though the adult golden dragon Ulu wasn't particularly strong at the time, it was still able to solo kill Azure Rathalos and Pink Rathian while enduring poison, and only suffered minor injuries after the battle.
For Qin He, these Thunder Wolf Dragons were a piece of cake. Although he hadn't learned Lightning Breath, his own resistance was still strong.
If Tiamat's emblem is activated, Qin He will be immune to all five types of damage from the Color Dragon.
Soon, the Thunder Wolf Dragons fell to the ground. Their bodies instantly transformed into Mystic Dragon Coins.
[Slaying the Thunder Wolf Dragon]: (7/50)
The monsters used to hunt on Dragon Island are all fakes. You can find everything from rare species like the Gold and Silver Rathalos to bizarre Elder Dragons.
Immediately, Zhong Liuxiu intercepted several Thunder Wolf Dragons on the other side. Regaining her composure, she immediately unleashed her full power—
That overwhelming brute force made even the Thunder Wolf Dragon begin to doubt its very existence.
Even more ferocious than the tail hammer of the Diablos, the Zinogre's horns were bent after being struck on the head.
This shows just how terrifying Zhong Liuxiu's hardened, mutated iron tail truly is.
Dragon Island was just a virtual trial game, so Zhong Liuxiu naturally put aside her reserve.
The result was a cute black dragon with a plump tail, which opened its mouthful of neat, white, sharp teeth and bit down hard, tearing the Thunder Wolf Dragon to shreds.
Zhong Liuxiu was quite clever; she learned Qin He's fighting style and drove away or killed the Thunderbugs. Unable to enter a supercharged state, the Thunderwolves were quickly defeated by Zhong Liuxiu.
The situation on Huang Yulong's side was similar, but he wasn't very skilled. He used the properties of Entropy Breath to evaporate all the Thunderflies.
At the same time, the Thunder Wolf Dragon's once-proud speed and strength were hampered by the effects of aging. This gave Topaz Dragon an opportunity to organize a counterattack.
Zhuang Daihua and Qin Lan also made their moves. Qin Lan used her electric spark breath to burn the lightning bugs, causing their electrical currents to become unbalanced. Her formidable melee combat ability also gave her a significant advantage in the head-on clash.
Zinogre is indeed quite formidable, but I can dig a hole to dodge your attacks.
Do you have a temper? If you do, then blast a 50-meter-deep crater in the ground and let me see what you do. By the time you're done blasting, I'll have already dug somewhere else.
Zhuang Daihua tried her best to fight elegantly without making any mistakes. Here, she grabbed the sharp claws that a Thunder Wolf Dragon had extended and used her sharp breath to cut open its neck.
Another beam of heat breath shot out, sweeping away the ball of light formed by the Thunderflies. The heat beam spread into a fan-shaped flame, burning the fur of the Thunderwolf in the process.
Even the adult white dragon relied on digging and frost breath to play guerrilla warfare against the thunderwolves. A white dragon that uses its brain directly attacks and runs, waiting for the enemy to recover before attacking again—who could stand that?
The Thunder Wolf Dragon's fighting style is a straightforward and open battle of wild beasts.
If it were a proper white dragon, it would already be caught up in the heat of battle, its claws and teeth clashing and trading blows. But this one clearly has a brain of its own.
The Scroll Dragon couldn't just sit idly by, so it used its superior flying ability to periodically kill the lightning bugs in the valley with its elemental breath. It also harassed the other Thunder Wolf Dragons along the way…
Finally, a golden lightning bolt leaped down from the cliff. Like a wolf pouncing on an eagle, it seized the scroll dragon spewing elemental matter in mid-air!
The frail Cyclops was almost powerless against Golden Raihime's attack, and her sharp claws snapped out, tearing the Cyclops's neck and wing membranes apart.
"It's her! Kim Reiji."
Simultaneously unleashing their Dragon Emperor's majesty, Qin He and Zhong Liuxiu instantly suppressed Jin Leiji. Otherwise, its electrically charged teeth would have already severed the slender throat of the Scroll Dragon.
Qin He rescued the Scroll Dragon, which, as the only main dragon, had to be protected. Zhong Liuxiu then lashed out with her tail, blasting Jin Leiji back head-on.
"Sleeve, I'll take care of this. You'll be the one to personally fight back against the Bronze Dragon tribe and take revenge."
Qin He knew how strong Jin Lei Ji was; he had secretly observed her for a long time. Only when she had accumulated enough electrical energy and reached a truly electrified state did Jin Lei Ji step forward to fight.
"Hmph~ No way, let's fight together!"
Seeing his wife's confidence, Qin He joined her in activating the aura.
Flames, frost, and poison—a triple protective aura—annihilated the lightning bugs surrounding Jin Lei Ji. Once all the lightning bugs are destroyed, how long can Jin Lei Ji maintain her electrified state?
For hunters, the Zinogre is a monster capable of hunting them.
However, this was only because the lightning attack was fast enough and difficult to react to, and because people at the time did not know much about the Zinogre.
The hunters' standard weapons are basically ineffective against swarms of Thunderbugs. Killing a group is pointless unless they're completely wiped out.
The result was the same when Rathalos fought Zinogre. The difference was that Rathalos completely lacked the intelligence to target Thunderbugs. It used every move it had on Zinogre.
The combustion and explosions generated by its dust breath can often only drive away a portion of the Thunderflies.
But if it were a true dragon like Qin He, the situation would be completely reversed.
Flames, frost, and poison were released in a wide-range barrage, along with a majestic aura, gradually annihilating the surrounding lightning insects.
Having cut off Jin Leiji's external supply, Qin He then turned his attention to the battery-carrying shell on Jin Leiji's shoulder, launching a frenzied attack with his claws.
With its claws and teeth, Qin He tore apart Jin Lei Ji's carapace, while the nested halos around Qin He's body also damaged Jin Lei Ji's energy-storing fur.
At the same time, Zhong Liuxiu relentlessly attacked Jin Leiji. The repeated heavy blows were too much for even the specially named "Two Names" to withstand.
Not to mention, the Golden Thunder Princess in Secret Dragon Island is nothing more than a fake formed from a mass of energy.
After Jin Leiji fell, the 600,000 Secret Dragon Coins were finally deposited into his account. Qin He then immediately ordered the Scroll Dragon, which had accumulated enough kills, to begin its advancement.
Even if it advances to its prime, its physical abilities won't be much better than they are now. Making the Scroll Dragon the mistress is indeed the most convenient way to achieve a desperate, mutually destructive outcome.
"Wonderful."
Suddenly, blue dragon heads of all sizes emerged one by one from the Spirit Peak area. The leader of the blue dragon tribe finally appeared—
"Your Highness Qin He, I am grateful for your care of my little devil. Please allow me to introduce myself—Blue Dragon Sanchez Kana, a loyal follower of the Dragon Queen."
While they are called devout believers, the definition is actually quite broad. Spending one or two gold coins a day to offer to Tiamat also qualifies one as a devout believer.
Clearly, Sanchez's beliefs are similar to those of most dragons: money hurts feelings.
"Nice to meet you."
Qin He returned the three blue dragons that had evolved to their juvenile stage and were about to hunt and overcome their weakened state to their tribe.
Sanchez then explained his purpose.
It knew about Qin He's war with the Green Dragon and the Black Dragon, and also about the attack by the Bronze Dragon.
As a chromatic dragon and a descendant of Tiamat, it has a responsibility to help Qin He, the Dragon Emperor, eliminate all hostile forces.
The reason why all of these Thunder Wolf Dragons were able to remain encamped within Spirit Peak was because Sanchez led the Blue Dragon tribe to surround and trap them.
"I see."
Qin He knew that even powerful allies could turn into enemies. Now it was up to him...
Sanchez knew what Qin He wanted to hear, and since the Scroll Dragon's evolution was still some time away, it cut straight to the point:
“I admire that red dragon. I could revive it before Miss Scroll Dragon evolves.”
A robust blue dragon wearing a golden crown lay prostrate on the spot, waiting for the blue dragon leader to give a word.
She is the matriarch of this blue dragon tribe, capable of resurrecting and summoning red dragons.
"Name your price, and I'll pay."
Seeing Qin He's appearance, Lan Long was surprised:
"No, Your Highness, we shouldn't do this. What I want... is Your Highness's trust. We will always help you and stay by your side... Now, shall we invite that friend over?"
Qin He hesitated for a moment, then said:
"Okay, Sanchez, I believe you."
At that moment, for some reason, Qin He suddenly wanted to look up to the sky and shout, "Resurrect, my teammates!"
Of course, this impulse was quickly masked and vanished without a trace beneath the waves.
As the familiar, robust red dragon was summoned before the chieftain of the Blue Dragon tribe, Qin He finally felt a sense of relief...
The red dragon protected him and Zhong Liuxiu, helping them through the most difficult early stages before they became adult dragons.
Now is the time for him to lead the Red Dragon and sweep away everything in his path.
Chapter 374 Not Doing It Means Death
Responding to the Blue Dragon Mistress's call to resurrect, the Red Dragon Crimson Feather successfully resurrected as a mature dragon.
Turning around, the red dragon immediately nodded its thanks to the leader of the blue dragon tribe and the blue dragon matriarch. Colored dragons don't say words of thanks; their eyes and gestures are enough to express everything.
"Are you alright... How's the situation at the castle?"
Having been killed by the bronze dragons, the red dragon was now seething with rage. Although it had a good temper, it was still a red dragon and couldn't be allowed to be suppressed by any other dragon and remain inactive.
"The castle is currently occupied by bronze dragons, but they will soon be too powerful to run rampant."
Backed by the equally powerful Blue Dragon tribe, Qin He had the means to fight his way back. Even if the situation changed, he could rely on his Dragon Emperor's majesty and Nidhogg's legacy to fight his way in and out seven times.
"Where's the Grey Dragon? It should still be inside the castle, but it wasn't there when we were fighting the Bronze Dragon..."
Inevitably, speculation arose, and Qin He and the Red Dragon simultaneously considered the possibility that the Gray Dragon might escape.
As a rainbow dragon, the gray dragon was likely to die fighting the bronze dragon pack alone. Seeing the situation was dire, it abandoned the group and fled. This wasn't entirely unbelievable.
"Do you need me to find the dragon?"
The Blue Dragon Matriarch spoke up, saying that as long as the name used on Secret Dragon Island was entered, the Matriarch could directly summon the Gray Dragon.
If the gray dragon accepts, it will be teleported here immediately.
"...No need, shall we set off?"
In the Red Dragon's subconscious, he had already equated the Gray Dragon with a traitor who had turned against him in the face of battle. Seeing this, Qin He could only think about finding an opportunity to bring the Gray Dragon back.
Although the red dragon had already made its decision, Qin He didn't think the gray dragon would run away directly.
Qin He didn't entirely trust the suddenly appearing, atavistic blue dragon Sanchez. The three-headed blue dragon happened to be a lost member of its tribe, whom he had discovered.
No sooner had the Thunder Wolf Dragon been dealt with than the Blue Dragon appeared from the mountains.
This so-called Blue Dragon Commander might want to gain something through Qin He—such as the Dragon Queen's favor, a gift from Tiamat.
Blue Dragon knew Qin He and always addressed him respectfully as "Your Highness." This clearly acknowledged Qin He's Dragon Emperor status, but...
For Qin He, this was not a problem. If the Blue Dragon tribe helped him successfully end the game on Secret Dragon Island, Qin He wouldn't mind giving them some benefits.
The most unbelievable thing in the world is a pie falling from the sky.
Everything is ready; now it's time to go back and settle scores with the Bronze Dragon.
……
Outside the Golden Dragon King's Castle, a waterfall of clouds.
Several bronze dragons that went out hunted down many evil dragons that came to drink water near this waterfall.
As the elites sent out by the Bronze Dragon team to be hunted first to improve their strength, each of them only has about ten kills left before they reach their prime.
If the Bronze Dragon's foundation is deep enough, the Mistress can even use Dragon Coins to directly advance every adult dragon in the team to adulthood.
"Tell me, what exactly was the food that poisoned even the strongest dragons before? Did some dragon order food to use the poison that transforms dragon liches to harm us?"
The young bronze dragons frolicked in the water while discussing what had happened earlier.
"How is that possible? Dragon Island was created by the Dragon Kings as a secret realm for our cultivation and entertainment. Who could summon that kind of poison here?"
There are not many poisons in the world that can affect dragons, and dragons can basically ingest and digest any poison.
Just like drinking snake venom and having snake venom injected into the bloodstream are two different things.
When hunting a green fire dragon, if a white dragon is scratched by its venomous spines, it will be poisoned. However, if a white dragon eats the green fire dragon's highly venomous spines, they will have no effect whatsoever.
The reason is that the dragon's digestive system is too powerful.
Take Qin Lan in her youth as an example. Even without eating burning coals, she could still use her magical furnace-like stomach to smelt ores far superior to her own. It's just that the melting process took much longer.
If we don't rely on the special means of melting those special metals using only temperature, such as the dragon's stomach which is like a magical furnace, then we can only use coal as fuel.
The ore has a combustion heat and combustion time that are twenty times that of ordinary coal, meaning that a high-temperature furnace of tens of thousands of degrees Celsius is required to refine it.
Most of the copper dragons even have a craving for poisonous creatures, eating scorpions or other poisonous things three times a day, and they don't seem to suffer any ill effects from it.
Even the dragon's digestive system could not withstand the terrible poison and would be completely turned into a corpse wrapped in dragon skin by the mysterious venom.
Such events caused great anxiety among the bronze dragons.
