Chapter 637: Speed of Life and Death, Slaying a Dragon (3)

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The lightning spell was just one of their abilities; their formidable physique was their pride and strength!

Dragons, the rulers of the skies.

Nagas, the overlords of the ocean.

Two races that lived in completely different realms were now locked in combat.

As a legendary-tier hero, Herald’s combat prowess undoubtedly ranked among the best in the realm of oceanic rulers. His physical strength and lightning spells were both impressive, but being of an oceanic race, his expertise lay in battles at sea, not in the sky.

On the other hand, the Ocean Dragon Lord, despite being only a legacy-tier ruler, was a natural master of the sky. Its aerial combat abilities were exceptional, and even if it faced an opponent of equal tier, it showed no fear.

Hence, their battle raged on, with neither side able to decisively claim victory.

While the Ocean Dragon Lord held its own in combat, the ordinary Ocean Dragons couldn’t match its strength. With the assistance of Anina and Alice, the Sea Crystal Wynns were swiftly annihilating them.

A piercing dragon’s roar marked the fall of one of the Ocean Dragons.

Ji Chen held them up in the sea and collected their dragon blood.

As unit after unit of dragon blood was gathered in containers, a smile slowly formed on Ji Chen’s face.

This wave of dragon blood would likely allow the Blue Dragon Blood Murlocs to advance further, perhaps even reaching the sixth-tier unit ranks!

As the last Ocean Dragon heavily crashed into the sea, on the other side, Herald’s battle with the Ocean Dragon Lord seemed to be reaching its conclusion.

Herald was covered in wounds, but his serpent pupils were exceptionally bright. Using his “petite” physique, he constantly sought out blind spots in the Ocean Dragon Lord’s field of vision, skillfully evading claw strikes and bites.

Rip—

Once again, he circled to the creature’s back and struck fiercely with his claws, causing a profuse flow of blood from the newly opened wound.

At this point, the Ocean Dragon Lord was no longer as active as it had been at the start. Its body was covered in wounds, both large and small, and the steadily flowing blood made it increasingly weak. Its movements became sluggish, and its attacks lost their former strength and speed.

Roar!!

“You treacherous sea-dwelling creatures, if you have the guts, come at me head-on!”

The Ocean Dragon Lord roared in despair. Seeing that there were no surviving members of its clan nearby and feeling that it was truly about to meet its end here, it was filled with bitter indignation.

“Damn you, sea creatures! Even if I have to die, I’ll drag you down with me!”

Crazy thoughts surged in his mind.

Deep within the dragon’s body, the unique bloodline belonging to the dragon race began to boil madly. Wounds started to heal, and his strength returned like a rushing river, causing his damaged wings to flutter.

In a matter of moments, the Ocean Dragon Lord was fully restored. Its aura became several times more powerful, and its eyes regained their luster.

They clashed once more.

However, this was clearly a last-ditch effort. Herald didn’t engage it head-on but instead dodged with incredible agility.

Ten minutes later, the Ocean Dragon Lord’s aura quickly dwindled, and it fell onto a rocky hill. It lay there, powerless, between the rocks, like a flickering candle, with only faint breaths remaining.

“Lord, mission accomplished.” Herald returned to Ji Chen’s side and said solemnly.

Ji Chen nodded slightly and handed him a vial of life potion.

“Suspend its life; it’s useful to me.”

“Understood.” Heraldor immediately flew over and used his claws to sever the Ocean Dragon Lord’s limbs, tear apart its wings, and turn it into a dragon pig.

Only then did he pour the potion into its mouth, barely keeping it alive.

“Anina, go inside the rocky hill and see what’s there.”

In theory, dragons were greedy, and their lairs often contained vast wealth. With so many Ocean Dragons occupying this area, there should be quite a bit.

Anina obeyed the order, riding a Sea Crystal Wyrm into a cave and quickly walking deeper inside.

Soon, she returned, calling out loudly, “Lord, there are some gold coins inside, as well as dragon eggs!”

Dragon eggs?

Ji Chen’s interest was piqued upon hearing this. He immediately had the Sea Crystal Wyrms land and entered the cave.

The cave was very dark and damp, but it was relatively clean, without any dirt or filth like feces. It seemed that the Ocean Dragons didn’t defecate in their living quarters.

After passing through the dim cave, they arrived in a natural hall, where a stone platform in the center held ten dragon eggs, each as tall as a person. On one side of the hall, there was a pile of gold coins resembling a small mountain.

[Ocean Dragon Dragon Eggs]

[Successfully hatching can produce Ocean Dragon hatchlings, which can eventually grow into 6th Tier 8-Star Ocean Dragons]

Ten 6th Tier 8-Star Ocean Dragons would indeed be a formidable force.

However, Ji Chen didn’t feel particularly excited. Although they could grow into proper dragons, this process would take decades, if not centuries. By that time, it would be too late.

Moreover, the growth rate of the Crown of the Ocean was definitely faster than this.

It was a bit of a letdown, neither appealing nor worth keeping.

Dragon eggs couldn’t be stored in the backpack, so Ji Chen had a few Sea Crystal Wyrms come in to carry the dragon eggs on their backs.

As for the wealth in the hall, it was likely all gold coins. Ji Chen took a quick look and collected them.

“Ding- You’ve obtained 4,563,300 gold coins…”

“Ding- You’ve acquired one fragment of Gloria’s Elf Treasury Key.”

Ji Chen was momentarily stunned..
