Ji Dong's guess was right. Dio's group of ten were the elites of a famous High Magic Master Academy of the North Water Empire. Their status in the academy was similar to that of the students of the Yin-Yang Hall of the Heavenly Stem Academy. As the academy was on its winter vacation, this group of ten decided to explore the Three Harmonies Mountain Range.
Without a doubt, they were extremely outstanding in the Academy. Every one of them was a genius among the Magicians of their respective Element. Being evaluated as a genius for a long time, in addition to their own extraordinary strength, it was inevitable that they would become arrogant. They had also seen many Earth Dragons, most of which were Level Four or Level Five existences. However, not a single Earth Dragon was a match for the ten of them.
As a result, they made a plan. Every single one of them would tame an Earth Dragon to temporarily use as a mount. Once they reached the sixth crown, they would find a real dragon to contract with. They did not have a very high opinion of themselves. Their target was just the Earth Dragons on the outskirts of the Three Unity Mountains. It could be considered a scouting expedition for the Dao Dragon Valley in the future. As soon as the academy broke for the holidays, the young people became impatient. Under Dio's lead, they cultivated in the Three Unity Mountains for ten days. Only then did they come to the Three Unity Mountains with great ambitions. According to their plans, every single one of them had to find a Class 6 Earth Dragon at the very least as a mount.
In reality, if the ten of them worked together, dealing with a Class 6 Magical Beast would not be too difficult. After all, they possessed all ten elements.
However, they had never thought that they would encounter an insurmountable danger in such a short amount of time after entering the Three Unity Mountains.
That's right, their judgement was correct. Even a Class 6 Earth Dragon could not defeat the ten of them. However, this was the Three Unity Mountains. The high altitude and cold weather would affect their condition. Moreover, who said that the Earth Dragons could only attack them one by one? Dio had already sensed that the situation was bad when they encountered the seven Earth Dragons led by the Armored Dragon King.
Dio understood that it was impossible for the ten of them to deal with the seven magical beasts in front of them. Just the Armored Dragon King alone was a huge problem, not to mention the two long-range Earthfire Dragons and the four extraordinarily fast Velocidragons. If they were not careful, they would all be wiped out here.
At this time, Dio had already made up his mind. He had brought his companions with him, and no matter what, he had to ensure their safety. Hence, he released the sure-kill skill, the First Wood Conversion to Second Wood Magic Skill, which temporarily resisted the attacks of the 7 Earth Dragons.
"All of you, hurry up and leave. I naturally have a way to escape." Seeing that his companions were not moving, Dio couldn't help feeling anxious.
The second wood element girl said, "Dio, if you don't leave, then I won't leave. I'll cover the rear with you, let them retreat first."
Dio looked at the Yimu element girl and didn't hide the affection in his heart at all. He subconsciously held the girl's hand and tightly pursed his lips. A friend in need is a friend indeed. At this moment, the fear in his heart had disappeared, and his mana seemed to have recovered somewhat.
"Boss, we won't leave either. We aren't cowards. Even if we die, we will die together." Dio's companions were loyal and quickly gathered at Dio's side. Each of them gathered their mana, and their resolute expressions made their bodies emit an austere aura. At this moment, they seemed to have grown up a lot.
The first to make a move were still the two Water Magic Masters from before. Apart from Dio, they were the strongest of the ten.
This time, they condensed four Ice Spikes, and they were also dark purple in color. However, their mana was even denser than when they had dealt with the 3 Armored Dragons. After condensing the 4 Ice Spikes, their complexions were similar to Dio's. They were clearly doing their best.
Dio didn't say anything. He understood that indecisiveness wouldn't prevent them from being wiped out, so he could only go all out.
"Shoot the right legs of those 4 Velocidragons!" Dio yelled.
The 4 Ice Spikes shot out like lightning, leaving behind a faint mist of frost in the air. The Velocidragons were only Class 4 Magical Beasts, and they were also proficient in physical attacks. Their two front claws were rather slender, but they had sharp claws. Combined with their large mouths that specialized in biting, their attack power wasn't bad. However, what they relied on the most was their speed.
A Velocidragon without speed was no different from a pheasant. This was something that a powerful Magic Master had once said. Dio slowly nodded at his companions' orders. Just like what Dio had said, these 4 Velocidragons were actually the greatest threat to them.
Although the Armored Dragon King was strong, it wasn't very fast. Its huge body meant that its turning speed was slow, but the Velocidragons were incomparably fast. When faced with a strong enemy, they would often be able to easily escape. Under the laws of nature, this was their ability to survive.
Thus, if these four velociraptors, which weren't very strong, were to tangle with them, Dio and the others would truly be doomed. Only by dealing with these four velociraptors would it be easier to deal with the Armored Drake King and the two Terraflame Dragons.
The lock-on of a Four Crown Magus was not something that a Class 4 Magical Beast could dodge. The 4 Ice Spikes accurately passed through the gaps in the vines and pierced through the right legs of the 4 Velocidragons.
If he had killed these four velociraptors, perhaps they would have been able to react in time due to the killing intent. But since he had only attacked their right legs, there was no killing intent. Even these velociraptors, which were known for their speed, had fallen into a trap.
Four clouds of blood sprayed into the air, and the four dragons fell to the ground with miserable screams. Although they weren't fatal, it was impossible for them to run quickly. However, it was also at this moment that Dio's defensive vines shattered.
The flames of the two Terra Fire Dragons finally landed on the vines. The suppression of the flames on the vines, coupled with the Armored Drake King's powerful strength, allowed it to break through the blockade in an instant. The Armored Drake King's huge body charged straight towards Dio. The injuries of the four Terra Fire Dragons had already infuriated the boss.
At this time, Dio calmed down and said, "Give up on the suppression of the five elements. Everyone disperse. Duo Huo, Duo Tu, Duo Jin, the six of you go deal with those two Earth Fire Dragons. Leave this big guy to me and Nyle." Nyle was the wood element magus by his side. At this moment, the Dual Water Magus had already used up all of his mana and couldn't be counted on for the time being.
As he spoke, Dio grabbed Nyle and turned around to run.
He didn't run in the opposite direction, but to the side. As he ran, he couldn't help but throw an angry look at Ji Dong. But even so, he didn't lead the Armored Dragon King in the direction that Hyōhime had attacked them.
Yao Qianshu smiled and said, "These little fellows can be considered to have good natured natures. Ji Dong, are we still not going to make a move?"
Ji Dong shook his head and said, "Let's wait a little longer. The more danger we face, the greater our potential will be."
Yao Qianshu said helplessly, "I'm already starting to worry about our trip to the Dragon Valley. The greater the pressure, the greater the chance of collapse!"
Separating six people to deal with the 2 Volcanic Dragons was something that Dio had carefully calculated. The 2 Volcanic Dragons were Class 5 Magical Beasts, so it wouldn't be a problem for his 4 companions to deal with them. As long as he could keep the Armored Dragon King busy and wait for the 2 Volcanic Dragons to be dealt with, then they could gather everyone's strength. It wasn't impossible for them to win.
The actual situation on the battlefield was developing according to Dio's calculations. Under the siege of his 6 companions, the 2 Volcanic Dragons were being pushed back step by step. The wounds on their bodies were increasing. Although they weren't fatal for the time being, they were becoming less and less of a threat. As for the 2 Four Crown magi, they were using their cores to quickly recover their mana.
Dio understood that what he and his companions needed right now was time. He had already decided that as long as they could get through this crisis, he would immediately lead his companions out of the Three Unity Mountain Range. This place wasn't something they could come to right now. At the very least, they would have to wait until they were Six Crown magi. Only then would they have the strength to protect themselves.
Dio's mana had already been greatly consumed, so he didn't have the time to recover. Although the Armored Dragon King wasn't as fast as the Velocidragon, with its huge body, it was able to cover a large distance with each step. Chasing behind Dio and Nigel, they were surrounded by danger.
Without the support of mana, although Dio's physique was outstanding, he felt more and more exhausted. If it weren't for Nell, who was constantly casting spells and using the vines in the forest to obstruct the Armored Dragon King, they might have already been caught. But even so, the Armored Dragon King was getting closer and closer. Dio could even feel the Armored Dragon King's hot breath blowing on his back.
"It's over. We can't escape." Dio took a deep breath. At this moment, his heart became even calmer. Something seemed to shatter in his body as an intense green light suddenly rose from his body.
In the next moment, he abruptly flung Nyle forward, while he himself sped up a few steps, landing heavily on the trunk of a nearby tree. Borrowing the momentum, he leapt straight at the Armored Dragon King behind him.
Dio's eyes were filled with determination as he pounced. He called out in his heart, "Nigel, farewell. You must survive!"
The glaring green light rose from Dio's body like flames. Even the aggressive Armored Dragon King couldn't help but slow down when it saw this scene. A trace of hesitation appeared in its eyes.
In the distance, Yao Qianshu couldn't help but shout, "Wood element's specialty, Life Ignition!"
That's right, wood element magic masters could control a huge amount of life aura. When their strength reached a certain level, they could control their own life energy to fuse with their own mana and ignite their own flames of life.
During this process, their strength would increase exponentially. However, once the flames of life were extinguished, their lives would also be gone. This was the ultimate move of the First Wood Magic Master that would perish together with the enemy!
Dio, who was igniting his flames of life, was like a green ball of light as he fiercely slammed into the Armored Dragon King's chest. At this moment, his speed was so fast that the Armored Dragon King's reaction was actually a beat slower.
The huge body of the Armored Dragon King was sent flying by this impact. It flew for more than ten meters before falling heavily on the ground. Dio's body also fell from the sky.
Two rays of light, one black and one purple, fell on Dio's body at almost the same time. The two water element magic masters finally recovered some of their mana. However, they didn't attack the enemy. Instead, they poured their water mana on Dio's body.
Water element magic master Ninth Water used his mana to nourish Dio's body, while the Tenth Water Magic Master used her yin water to extinguish Dio's burning flames of life. Finally, Dio's life was saved by a hair's breadth. Of course, they didn't see that Ji Dong, who had already raised his hand in the distance, gently put it down again.
The Armored Dragon King rolled on the ground. When it stood up again, its previous ferocious aura had already disappeared. With a roar, it fiercely rushed towards the two fire dragons that were besieged. Dio's six companions had no choice but to quickly dodge. The Armored Dragon King picked up the two velociraptors, while the two fire dragons each picked up a velociraptor and ran away dejectedly.
Magic beasts at the 6th rank and above had a certain level of intelligence. The Armored Dragon King had suffered a loss at Dio's hands, and its subordinates were in a very bad situation, so they immediately chose to run away.
Dio's companions couldn't be bothered to chase after the Armored Dragon King. They quickly surrounded Dio, especially that girl called Nile. She ran over frantically, tears flying in the air as she cried loudly.
"Dio, you idiot! How could you ignite your own flames of life?!" The Ninth Water Magic Master Prada shouted in anger and pain.
Dio was lying on the ground. Although he wasn't dead, he looked very old at this moment. It was as if he had aged several decades in an instant. The power of Life Ignition was very powerful, but the price was also very high. Although he was stopped by his companions in time, Dio knew that his life was over. Not only would he no longer be able to use mana, he would only be able to struggle at death's door. As for how long he could live, even he didn't know.
Dio looked at the tearful Nile and squeezed out a smile, "Nile, don't cry. I don't regret it, I don't regret it at all. As long as you are fine, and everyone is fine, I can rest assured. Moreover, aren't I still alive? Prada, from now on, I will pass the captain position to you. Take everyone and immediately leave the Three Unity Mountain Range. We were too arrogant before, this place isn't suitable for us to train. Fortunately, everyone is fine. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to redeem myself even if I died a hundred times. Let's go, let's go now. Prada, lead everyone out of here, I believe that you can do it. "
