Chương 224: Reborn as the Dragon — Chapter 224 - Black Dragon Outpost (1)

Although the level gap was there, and their numbers weren't enough, only a small fraction of players worldwide had come through the teleportation arrays. But it shouldn't have been this hard to fight. At once, many players gave up on continuing to tangle with this Black Dragon. As for the Platinum Treasure Chest on the sea surface, quite a few players had already started killing each other for it.

"How ugly." Su Nian grinned. He turned his head and spat a mouthful of scorching dragon breath in that direction. Those players were bunched together in a chaotic mass. Where would they have the time to dodge dragon breath? They were instantly vaporized by the thick Dragon Flame. Just as the Black Dragon was chasing down and slaughtering a group of players who were howling and screaming, there was one Tianchao player, Li Chen, who still held his ground. And then another very special player appeared. Petrov.

That Russian player who faced the sun, who wanted to climb the peaks and conquer all kinds of giant beasts. The other players had come through the teleportation arrays. Petrov was different. He had been traveling all over the place, and after hearing the news he ran day and night. He had only barely arrived today. Unfortunately, the Storm Worm King had already died violently. Still, Petrov wasn't too disappointed, because an even stronger giant beast had already appeared. That was the majestic, mighty Black Dragon!

This Black Dragon seemed a little familiar? That thought flashed through his mind and was gone. Petrov couldn't be bothered to think about it. He looked at the players fighting over the chest and dying for it, shook his head with a sigh, and let mockery show in his eyes.

"How ugly!"

"How can a true warrior be blinded by desire? Foolish!" The protagonist always appeared at the last moment. At this moment, Petrov believed he was the true protagonist. Over the past several days, he had challenged far too many giant beasts. Three- to four-meter-tall Iron Armor giant bears. More than ten-meter-long Rock-Armored Crocodiles. Jungle Trolls. Stone Bull leaders. And more. He killed his way through them all, eating raw flesh and drinking blood the whole way. His strength only grew stronger and stronger.

After killing a low-level giant insect and eating its flesh and blood raw, maybe because he had been drinking beast blood the whole journey, he even unexpectedly awakened the hidden class [Barbaric Blood Warrior]. On top of that, he gained his own exclusive kill skill [Fight Harder the More You Fight]. The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation. The lower his HP, the higher his damage.

And when his HP dropped to 5%, the second trait of [Fight Harder the More You Fight] would trigger. He would enter a 10-second "Invincible and Selfless" state, his HP locked in place, while his attack speed and strength both increased by 50%. It could be used once per day.

"This battle will be the one that makes my name!" Petrov declared it like that. Then he drew a dagger from his waist and drove it hard into his carotid artery. Blood instantly spurted out with a hissing sound like a fountain, making Li Chen, who was hiding nearby, twitch at the corner of his eye. Petrov's HP dropped at high speed. When it fell to around 10%, he pulled out the dagger and drank an expensive revival potion. In the end, his HP stabilized at 8%.

The wound on his neck also healed under the potion's effect.

"Black Dragon, duel with me!!" Standing on a high cliff, Petrov roared at the top of his lungs. His powerful upper body was bare, and the bright red cape behind him snapped wildly in the sea breeze. Sunlight painted a golden outline around his body. At that moment, he was like the Roman God of War!

"Ura!" Petrov leaped off the cliff, carrying his faith and his determination to win. The wind howled past his ears. The greatsword in his hand thirsted for the blood of giant beasts. Petrov might have thought he looked incredibly cool, but in Su Nian's eyes, he was probably just a big gorilla covered in chest hair charging at him. With a fire poker in his hand. This player's face looked somewhat familiar, but Su Nian couldn't quite remember it. Dragons did have very strong memories.

But they didn't bother remembering things that didn't matter. So, should he flick this player to death with one claw? Or spray him to death with dragon breath? Or turn around and sit on him? Whip him to death with his tail? Skewer him to death with his barbs? Just as he was considering how to give this warrior a glorious death, the charging gorilla actually erupted with a surge of aura. Su Nian looked up. Behind this player, he could faintly make out the shadow of a massive gladiator.

The gladiator held a shield and spear, eyes bulging in fury. As the Russian player charged closer and closer, the spear in its hand flashed with cold light. Interesting. Su Nian narrowed his eyes and lowered his gaze. He took a full fighting stance. Maybe this Russian player really could break through his defenses? If so, then this was worth taking seriously. Facing the charging Russian player and the gladiator phantom, Su Nian raised his enormous dragon claw. The muscles in his dragon arm tightened and bulged.

They squeezed against each other and forced out scorching steam. Su Nian used eighty percent of his strength. This was a serious big slap.

"Look!" The other players nearby cried out in alarm.

"Damn, that's too cool! What skill is that guy using?"

"ID Petrov? I remember now. Isn't that the berserker player who's been challenging giant beasts everywhere? I didn't expect him to come too. They say 99 giant beasts have already died under his greatsword, and even those monsters were eaten raw by him!"

"So Petrov is strong, then?"

"Very strong." The player doing the explaining looked grave, keeping his eyes locked tightly on Petrov.

"Don't think he's much higher level than us. A whole group of us wouldn't be enough to take him down. The skills on him should be exclusive abilities that come with his hidden class!" The surrounding players were horrified when they heard that, all of them gasping in amazement.

"Hiss! So powerful!"

"Exclusive skills? Terrifying!"

"Why don't we Sakura have such a powerful warrior! Damn it!" Petrov didn't know he was being discussed. Even if he did, he wouldn't care. A true warrior was meant to be the center of attention. He would learn to get used to it. Closer and closer! The Black Dragon's enormous body was now fully revealed before Petrov. Those cold, red-gold dragon eyes looking down on ants, those dragon horns that were as majestic as a crown, and that powerfully built body with muscles distributed as precisely as machinery.

All of it sent Petrov into a frenzy. This was the giant beast he wanted to conquer.

"Black Dragon, this is my strongest sword strike. Take it!" Petrov's expression was excited and twisted as he raised his longsword and slashed down with unstoppable force. At the same time, the gladiator phantom behind him thrust forward with the spear in its hand. A fierce light flashed in Su Nian's eyes. His huge pitch-black dragon claw swept out in a blur. BOOM! The dragon claw dragged against the air at high speed, producing a piercing sonic boom. Even the air seemed to spark from the friction. BOOM!

The dragon claw met the longsword. Dust exploded everywhere. The ground shook violently.

"Did he succeed?" The surrounding players were buzzing with excitement. They stood on tiptoe, craning their necks to watch! [-233] A huge red number floated up above the Black Dragon's head. Su Nian's expression turned grave. He raised his dragon claw. One of his dragon claw nails had been pierced through by the Russian player's sharp longsword. ➤ Next: Black Dragon Outpost (2)
