Starting with watering the World Tree for otherworldly survival

Page 272

Those battering ram-like fists slumped to the ground, and as the Fierce Explosion Dragon struggled to support its body, it gasped for breath, trying to regain its fighting ability.

Such an opportunity was fleeting, and Qin He and Zhong Liuxiu exchanged a tacit understanding. Simultaneously, they leaped onto the arms of the Exploding Dragon, their spears and swords clashing in unison!

Qin He swung his silver spear like a full moon, its ferocious force shattering the obsidian gauntlet of the Exploding Dragon. Zhong Liuxiu's heavy sword cleaved straight through the mountain, embedding itself into the Exploding Dragon's right arm.

The deep, bone-revealing wounds simultaneously erupted at the most vital parts of the Explosive Shattered Dragon's arms!

The blade was stuck in the armor. Zhong Liuxiu gripped the hilt with one hand and swung her lithe waist in a powerful sweeping motion! The immense force was applied to the ice blade, slicing through the obsidian gauntlet.

In the blink of an eye, the excruciating pain pulled the Explosive Dragon from its stunned state. Its powerful hind legs slammed into the ground, creating distance between it and the two, and also breaking up the formation of the Demonic War Beasts.

After only a few rounds of fighting, the Explosive Dragon was already covered in wounds. Apart from the most terrifying Zhong Liuxiu and Qin He, the six war beasts and Yu Lan, who also wielded a giant sword, were also troublesome.

Moreover, behind them, a woman in white was emitting strange spores.

These things can actually suppress critical slime mold and even provide benefits to Qin He and Zhong Liuxiu...

Qin He and Zhong Liuxiu, the next strike... the Fierce Explosion Dragon must crush one of them. Or, it must destroy the Snow Fungus that emits spores.

In the blink of an eye, the Explosive Dragon unleashed a burst of explosive power from its hind limbs. It was about to charge at Zhong Liuxiu, aiming to ram her with its most powerful dragon chariot and severely injure her!

With full force, the unstoppable Dragon Chariot Headbutt sprinted straight towards Zhong Liuxiu.

But in front of Qin He, the Fierce Explosion Dragon would have absolutely no chance of touching even a single hair on Zhong Liuxiu's head.

Conjuring Nidhogg's dragon form, Qin He swung his claws to meet the attack head-on, forcefully taking the impact of the Exploding Shattered Dragon during the struggle.

Not only that, he also suppressed this terrifying beast dragon, which was almost twice the size of his own body. He pinned its battering ram-like head firmly to the ground!

"Trying to run over my wife?"

"You are dead."

Like a mixed martial artist who catches an opponent's grappling move, Qin He, with his Dragon Emperor aura and the amplification brought by Xue Zhi, suppressed the Explosive Dragon.

Next, the battle gradually evolved into a violent showdown where Qin He and the Explosive Brachydios crushed and destroyed each other.

As their fists and claws clashed, the critical slime swarmed in like a torrent, staining Qin He's dragon scales, which were comparable to his obsidian armor, with a dangerously intense color.

A burst of flames erupted and shot into the sky in an instant. Qin He, enveloped in smoke and clouds, continued his offensive relentlessly despite the overwhelming and domineering explosion of the critical slime mold.

With a pair of sharp claws, it slashed wildly, and sparks flew between the obsidian armor, leaving shocking marks!

"This is... Nidhogg. Qin He's... true form as the Dragon Emperor."

In the midst of the extreme battle, the pure clash of strength reflected the firelight throughout the lava cave. Xuezhi was almost mesmerized by Qin He's valiant fighting posture, a symbol of absolute power.

To push the dragon's body to its limits, Qin He needed to master the power at that extreme state. There could be no mistakes or waste whatsoever—

Did he unleash the Explosive Brachydios, or did the Explosive Brachydios hold out until he exhausted his power?

I don't know, we'll have to find the answer through a full-scale attack. Sharp claws kept meeting the powerful, heavy fists of the Explosive Wraith.

Upon closer inspection, however, Qin He was using various boxing techniques to counter the Explosive Dragon's simple and direct punches and claw attacks.

By deflecting the Explosive Brachydios's straight punch, and dodging to the side, its sharp claws also transform into blades that cleave the Explosive Brachydios's neck.

Slide? Hook punch? By monster standards, the Raging Brachydios is an absolute disaster. But from a boxer's perspective... it's a beast wielding a heavy hammer.

As it parted to the side, the Explosive Dragon slammed its powerful fists into the rock strata. This was its lair and battlefield, and the natural energy underground was a force it could manipulate at will.

Even though the power of the critical slime mold is limited by the spores of the snow fungus, it can still unleash a series of earth-shattering explosions through its own power.

The slime that penetrated the earth and spewed wildly from the "fist mouth" of the Exploding Dragon seemed to have a spirit, creating straight-line explosions between the strata.

The rock strata exploded with a deafening roar, and amidst the flying dust and flying rocks, a series of massive explosions spread out and struck Qin He and the others.

But so what? Qin He flapped his wings, and the flight advantage of a dragon immediately became apparent. The shockwave from the slime mold explosion destroyed everything in its path, but it couldn't reach the cave ceiling, where those giant wings were spread out!

Qin He did not rely entirely on the advantage of flight. The jumping ability that the Raging Deviljho could possess was certainly not lacking for the Raging Brachydios.

Moreover, this is the lair of the Raging Brachydios, a cave filled with obsidian and other minerals. As the most suitable combat terrain for the Raging Brachydios, its jumping ability would easily reach the ceiling of the cave.

Therefore, Qin He's purpose in taking flight was solely to dodge the shockwave... and to complete the wing attack!

This attack differs from the Sky Comet's spinning slash, which involves gathering its wing bones into a spear shape. Instead, it's a spinning slash from a giant dragon, where the wing bones are gathered together.

The colossal, jet-black dragon used its hind legs to propel itself up from the cave ceiling. A wing strike and a claw strike followed simultaneously, sending the raging, shattered dragon sprawling to the ground.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zhong Liuxiu swung her sword, which she had been charging up repeatedly, at the collapsing body of the Exploding Dragon. The seemingly indestructible obsidian armor finally showed shocking, winding cracks.

Not only that, Yu Lan also found an opportunity to cut off the tail hammer with six edges extending out like a page hammer while Qin He knocked down the Exploding Dragon.

Struggling with its hind legs, the Explosive Brachydios tried to stand up despite the injuries from the heavy blows.

It realized that if the source of those spores couldn't be addressed, Qin He and Zhong Liuxiu would have inexhaustible energy, and the critical slime mold would also be restricted.

Rushing towards Xuezhi, the Fierce Explosive Dragon attempted to kill her as quickly as possible.

"Your Highness Qin He, I can handle it!"

Standing still, Xuezhi neither dodged nor evaded, directly facing the powerful punch of the Exploding Dragon.

The will of the microbial community, amplified by the spores, further enhances the power of the snow fungus itself.

Her slender, long arms actually managed to block the destructive hammer punch of the Explosive Dragon right in the face of a direct punch!

Moreover, by utilizing its control over critical slime mold, the evolved spores caused all the slime mold to adhere to the carapace of the Raging Brachydios.

Immediately—these strange slime molds were no longer under the control of the Explosive Dragon and were all detonated under the will of the fungal community!

Realizing that its slime mold had also been controlled, the Explosive Brachydios faced its final battle amidst a violent explosion.

At this moment, Qin He, who had regained his human form, also stood in front of Xue Zhi along with Zhong Liuxiu.

Caught completely off guard, Xuezhi reversed the control of the critical slime mold on its body surface. Logically, this unexpected and unprecedented explosion should have already destroyed the body of the Explosive Dragon.

At the end of the massive explosion, the obsidian armor of the Exploding Dragon, churning with heat, was more resilient than ever before.

As the core shell inside his body approached its self-destruction limit, the Explosive Dragon unleashed all the slime stored within between its fists and headbutt.

The scorching, lava-like slime was burning the shell of the Explosive Wraith.

"It's coming, Xiuxiu, Xuezhi—get ready!"

Be constantly on guard against the Brachydios's desperate counterattack in its most extreme state; what follows... is the real fight to the death.

A storm of heavy punches, with a speed far beyond what the massive body of the Explosive Dragon should possess, poured down on the three people locked within its attack range.

"Yu Lan!"

With a deep shout, Demon Absolute Prison Waves transformed into light and vanished, returning to Qin He's hands.

Wielding the greatswords in both hands, Zhong Liuxiu and the other two worked in perfect unison, their reactions pushed to the limit. A barrage of heavy punches collided and clashed with the blades amidst a series of deafening explosions.

Even though the punch failed to pierce the ground, the splattered slime still covered the cave. It drifted down to the feet of the three, forming the final inferno of purgatory.

The last of the slime mold was used up and dispersed, causing the Fierce Explosion Dragon to roar to the sky. In this state, the entire nest was filled with fire-attribute natural energy.

This place has become a burning inferno, where almost all demonic energy has been banished. Even water or ice magic is of no use whatsoever.

If we could summon a tsunami-like wave, perhaps we could extinguish the slime mold?

Even if a Namielle Dragon capable of controlling tsunamis were to arrive now and fill the entire underground cavern of the volcano with giant waves, it would only cause the slime mold to explode prematurely.

The final battle between the Explosive Dragon and Qin He was now unstoppable. No power could silence this burning inferno—neither natural disasters nor magic, nor even the will of the microorganisms.

"happy!"

Qin He plunged the Demonic Prison Blade into the rock, his fists clenched tightly. Initially, he had indeed intended to use every means at his disposal to completely eliminate the Exploding Shattered Dragon.

But now, the legacy of Nidhogg within him is burning in the fierce battle.

The dragon's warlike nature resonates with the Explosive Skull Dragon.

"Come on, I'm in a hurry."

With his strength still spared, Qin He was about to personally finish off the Explosive Shattering Dragon. Eileen and the two petite loli elves were already speechless with shock at the sight.

They focused almost all their attention on watching Qin He's battle, afraid of missing any detail. Only when Qin He's voice rang out did they snap out of their daze from the deafening, repeated explosions.

Xuezhi focused all her energy on releasing spores, attempting to suppress the burning slime mold within the sea of ​​fire.

The power that had already reached its limit actually surged again during the life-or-death struggle.

Qin He moved in an instant, using his agile movements at the peak of the Saint realm combined with his flight ability to traverse the infernal sea of ​​fire.

In the clash of fists, Qin He and the beast dragon before him fought desperately, gradually finding an opportunity to advance further.

Even without using his dragon form, Qin He could still cause cracks to appear on the already fragile obsidian armor, strained beyond repair, with a punch thrown in his human form.

Burning slime mold covered the ground, and the man and the dragon fought their final battle in the inescapable inferno.

The shattered fist of the Explosive Dragon slammed into the rock layer covered with burning slime mold.

Unable to force the slime mold to explode any further, it relied solely on brute force and willpower to plow through the ground. Its powerful punches pounded straight ahead, tearing apart everything in their path and attempting to destroy all life in their path.

At the same time, it also lets out its final roar to ignite all the burning slime mold in the nest.

Unsure when he would reach his limit, Qin He temporarily set aside the existence of the gray dwarf assassin. He was determined to fully enjoy the fight before him, treating every strike as if it were his last.

At the same time, he also wanted to make the punch that the Shattered Dragon was about to unleash its most powerful attack, the final blow of its life!

Before this life-or-death struggle began, Qin He stopped inhaling the beneficial spores in the air.

While holding your breath completely, engage in a final, devastating battle with the Raging Brachydios. This is the simplest yet most effective way to combat the spores.

This method of avoiding inhalation and contact is not limited to the versatile spores of Snow Ganoderma. It can also be used to deal with the scales of the Mad Dragon Virus and rodents that drain the life force and energy of living organisms.

Now, Qin He simultaneously unleashed a barrage of punches, directly clashing with the final punch from the Fierce Explosion Dragon, thus bringing this long battle to a close.

He still had a lot to do: sample the breast-shaped chocolates made by Eileen and the others, the creamy mushroom soup personally cooked by Xuezhi, and teach Zhong Liuxiu how to use a greatsword...

Finish the game quickly so I can go home and hug my wife.

The Fierce Brachydios, having gone all out, was indeed powerful, but that was its limit.

—It died from exhaustion. This monster, its entire body covered in obsidian armor, ceased its movements forever during its final confrontation with Qin He.

With the massive body of the beast dragon crashing to the ground, the hunt came to an end. He took out his magical communication terminal and checked the message; it was from Zhuang Daihua.

"Phew... I'd better get ready."

With his strength nearly depleted, Qin He now only wanted to lie in Zhong Liuxiu's arms and enjoy the tenderness after the battle.

Of course, Zhong Liuxiu then started to play tricks. She made Eileen serve as Qin He's soft, fragrant cushion. Qin He, with his eyes half-closed, immediately noticed that the fragrant embrace he was burying his head in was different in terms of fullness.

"Um...Your Highness Qin He..."

Eileen looked at Qin He, who was acting recklessly in her arms, and let him rest his head on the sweet snow slope.

Chapter 354 Days and Nights with the Cow Girl

Having successfully defeated the Ferocious Ravager, most of the materials naturally ended up in Qin He's pocket. After all, Xue Zhi had no need for weapon forging.

"Should we forge a Greatsword for Eileen made from the Blazing Brachydios?"

Although Qin He had already planned to mine some Imperial Gold weapons from the back of Kulve Taroth, the Greatsword from Brachydios was also quite good.

Qin He could see that Eileen possessed extraordinary talent as a hunter, and naturally, he wanted to cultivate her skills.

Due to the uniqueness and rarity of the Brachydios, the katana "Dawn Blade of Shattered Light," made from its materials, is no less powerful than Elder Dragon weapons.

The only problem is that the current Explosive Ravager is only at the mid-stage of the Saint Realm, and the materials are not strong enough.

But it doesn't matter. Since Zhong Liuxiu reminded him earlier, now... it's time to ask Sadiwo for some materials.

The squeaky wheel gets the grease. If you don't ask, how will others know what you need?

The Raging Brachydios is a species that was only discovered by humans a few years ago in this world. However, in the eyes of a dragon king like Sadewo, whose lifespan is measured in tens of thousands of years, it is not considered a rare creature.

With the Crimson Jade Dragon King's psychic abilities, traversing to other universes at the treetop would be effortless. Not to mention breaking through the spatial blockade of the underground city.

Sensing that Qin He had a request for her, Sadewona's ruby-like beautiful figure immediately appeared in front of Qin He.

The woman before him possessed a height that few could match. Perhaps because she was a guest at the palace of Jeryn, the Feathered Serpent King, she was dressed entirely as a noblewoman.

She wore a long dress embroidered with ruby ​​flowers, and her slender, fair feet were tucked into obsidian-like high heels.

The elegant sleeves, reaching to the elbows, were open with slits, revealing two smooth, jade-like arms. Silver-threaded keyholes accentuated the pearl buttons, and a purple-colored belt cinched her waist.

These past few days, Sadewo has been busy with Qin He's affairs. He contacted the Fairy Dragon King Nair Skoiak and, through his personal relationship with the Feathered Serpent King Jereon, secured a powerful ally for Qin He.

Bahamut and Tiamat used their influence as Dragon Kings to solidify Qin He's reputation within the Metal Dragon King's Court and the Color Dragon King's Court.

Bahamut even concocted a seemingly plausible explanation for Qin He's actions:

"The resurrected Aio is a false mortal being, deliberately created by humans to undermine the stability of the Dragon Domain Council."
