"Why are the two of you here?" Xu Sheng and Han Xing were surprised and delighted.
The four specially recruited students from the alliance of the five universities had been ranked at the top of the ranking boards for the freshmen at the east lake base for a long time. They had also won the Daily Star a few times, so they had a deep understanding of each other. They were competitors who admired each other in a small circle.
"Wu Wu and I wanted to go to the dangerous regions at the edge of Graveyard Forest to understand each other's strength."
Shao Jianqing smiled. "In the end, Wu Wu discovered the Fire Feather Dragon's footprints and chased it here. Coincidentally, we ran into the two of you. What's wrong? You fought against one Fire Feather Dragon and ended up in such a pathetic state? It doesn't seem like your style!"
Superhumans and superbeasts might be divided into three major ranks and nine minor ranks, but humans possessed intelligence and knew how to use a variety of tools. They could wear nano fighting suits and strengthened exoskeletons. They also had killing weapons like artillery bombardment. Usually, they could kill monsters whose levels were higher than theirs. One-star superhumans could kill Grade Two monsters.
Shao Jianqing and the other specially recruited students were outstanding people in Spirit Tattoo Realm. They had their own inborn divine abilities, and their fighting strength was much stronger than that of a normal one-star superhuman.
Even if the Fire Feather Dragon was a Grade Three superbeast, Xu Sheng and Han Xing should not be at a disadvantage when they fought against it.
"Careful."
Xu Sheng and Han Xing would not let their classmates step into a trap when they faced the King of Nightmarish Beasts. "There's something strange about this creature. It's definitely not a normal Fire Feather Dragon. It might be a Fire Feather Dragon King, and its strength will surpass the limits of Nightmarish Beasts at any moment!"
"If it really was a Fire Feather Dragon King, the two of you would have died a long time ago."
As Shao Jianqing spoke, she saw that the Fire Feather Dragon's wounds were healing quickly. Her expression instantly changed. "It's indeed a little strange."
"What should we do?"
Xu Sheng looked at his incomplete mechanical prosthetics and gasped for breath. "We fight while we retreat. Should we try to lure it to a place with more powerful fighters? I remember that there are a few university lecturers supervising the fight at the center of Shattered Starlake, right? "
"It's smart. It won't fall for it."
Shao Jianqing narrowed her eyes, gritted her teeth, and said, "Moreover, if the instructors really make a move, it won't be our credit.
"Didn't you hear? The perimeter of Graveyard Forest is about to be opened to low-grade superhumans, but to one-star superhumans like us, if we don't have great achievements, we won't be able to hunt freely in Graveyard Forest. We'll have to be the followers of the powerful. There are also plenty of regions that are forbidden from entering.
'It wasn't easy for me to run into a big guy. I can't just watch it slip away. I have to kill the Fire Feather Dragon before I can explore the depths of Graveyard Forest!'
Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. Shao Jianqing's suggestion was immediately approved by the other three.
With the four of them surrounding him, they once again gained the advantage in terms of aura.
Even the strange Fire Feather Dragon sensed danger. It narrowed its eyes and wanted to run.
"Radiant Cross!"
There was no way Shao Jianqing would let it run away so easily. She shouted, and spirit flames burned madly around her. They gathered together to form a dark golden figure behind her. Two huge swords that looked like helicopter rotors shot out of their sheaths. She held one of them with both hands and raised it high above her head. The heroic spirit behind her grabbed the other sword and held it horizontally in the air.
The two swords shone with a dazzling light, and it was so bright that Xu Sheng and the others could not open their eyes.
The Fire Feather Dragon, which was directly attacked by her, felt its eyeballs burn. It instinctively lowered its head and closed its eyes.
Shao Jianqing took a swift step forward and swung her swords at the same time as the heroic spirit. The two sword glares turned into two horizontal and vertical bolts of lightning that struck the Fire Feather Dragon's body.
This time, the Fire Feather Dragon's high-heat torrent could not interfere with or block the attack. The lightning tore off hundreds of feathers on the left side of its body and tore through its leather-like flesh. Its organs were electrocuted to a mess, and two black crosses were left on its body.
"This is the ultimate skill that made Female Battle God Su Jianqing famous in the past. Radiant Cross. By stirring up the spirit energy in the air, it can create flames that cannot be looked at with the naked eye. It can destroy the target's retina and even optic nerves. I didn't expect that Shao Jianqing would be able to execute this move when she's just in Spirit Tattoo Realm!"
Xu Sheng and Han Xing looked at each other and gasped in amazement.
This move required the exquisite structure of the spirit energy magnetic field as well as a lot of spirit energy. Even three-star superhumans might not be able to execute it successfully.
With the support from the heroic spirit, Shao Jianqing was able to execute it well even though she was only in Spirit Tattoo Realm.
As expected of one of the four great fighting occupations!
Before the two of them could finish sighing, Wu Wu had already brought her Ghost Leopard forward like two black bolts of lightning.
"Rotting Claw!"
The human and leopard used their inborn talent at the same time and left claw marks on the wound Shao Jianqing had just left behind in a very tricky manner.
Rotting Claw had the ability to interfere with vitality magnetic fields and make cells instantly decay.
It could counter the Fire Feather Dragon's strange, super regeneration ability.
Originally, the Fire Feather Dragon's wound had already stopped bleeding, and new flesh had started squirming inside.
Now, wisps of black smoke squirmed about the wound and flowed into it. It kept invading its body, and its regeneration speed was reduced by at least 30%.
The Fire Feather Dragon flew into a rage. It opened its mouth wide and was about to bite the Ghost Leopard.
But Wu Wu and the Ghost Leopard were like twins who had a telepathic connection. They tapped against each other's feet lightly and used each other's strength to draw two strange arcs in the air. They managed to dodge the Fire Feather Dragon's claws by a hair's breadth.
Bang, bang, bang, bang!
Han Xing fired again. Sparks flew between the Fire Feather Dragon's fangs.
A superalloy saber that vibrated at high speed shot out from Xu Sheng's left arm. With the help of four extendable mechanical arms, he moved like a huge metal spider to attack the Fire Feather Dragon.
The four specially recruited students surrounded the King of Nightmarish Demons!
The Fire Feather Dragon was shocked and enraged. It continuously spat out flames and released a torrent shield. Occasionally, it curled up into a ball and fired thousands of fire feathers.
But when the four of them worked together, they complemented each other and gradually figured out the Fire Feather Dragon's attack pattern. Even if they were injured, they blocked off its escape route and did not give it any chances.
Even if the Fire Feather Dragon went berserk and turned into a fireball that jumped up and down while burning the four of them, they gritted their teeth and persevered. No one was willing to retreat in front of their competitor.
In the end …
Shao Jianqing's greatswords cut deep into the Fire Feather Dragon's back and cut its spine into three parts.
Han Xing seized the chance and practically shoved the barrel into the Fire Feather Dragon's throat. The storm of bullets rampaged through the Fire Feather Dragon's organs, and its chest swelled up.
Xu Sheng also controlled a self-destructing drone to land on the Fire Feather Dragon's head. With a loud boom, its skull was torn open.
Wu Wu seized the chance to brand Rotting Claw deep into the Fire Feather Dragon's brain. Even its eyeballs were eaten away.
Even though this King of Nightmares had an extremely strong vitality, it was still able to survive.
After suffering a series of fatal injuries, he still lost his last chance to live.
With a series of unwilling roars, he collapsed. The raging flames solidified, turning him into an ice-cold corpse.
"Huff, huff, huff, huff!"
It was only then that the four specially recruited students felt exhausted. They panted heavily and sat down on the ground. Looking at the dense and horrifying wounds on their bodies, yet they did not even have the strength to heal them, they could not help but feel lucky in their hearts.
This battle was too dangerous.
There was definitely something strange about the Fire Feather Dragon. If the machine master, the Gun Fighting Style martial artist, the heroic spirit user, or the monster controller were missing, they might have been the ones who would have fallen.
No, if any of them were missing, they would not have had the chance to fall. They would have long since turned into minced meat in the Fire Feather Dragon's stomach.
However, their rewards were great.
This mutated superbeast was much more valuable than normal superbeasts of the same type. If they brought its carcass back to the base in one piece, the four's points would increase by leaps and bounds, and they would be able to exchange for better gene medicine and supernatural weapons. They might even be able to explore Graveyard Forest the next day.
"Let's see just what's so strange about this guy!"
Xu Sheng used mechanical prosthetics, and before his metal fatigue reached its limit, he used up less stamina compared to Shao Jianqing and the other two. He swung his retractable mechanical arm, which was like an octopus's tentacle, and arrived in front of the Fire Feather Dragon's carcass. He pulled at its empty head.
Suddenly, Wu Wu shuddered and screamed, "Careful!"
Slurp! Slurp!
A red vine shot out of the Fire Feather Dragon's battered carcass and wrapped itself around Xu Sheng's mechanical arm.
Xu Sheng made a prompt decision. He let out a strange cry and cut off the connection between himself and the mechanical arm. Then, he used the other three mechanical arms to crawl back to the trio's side.
His choice was the right one.
At the moment he took the initiative to get rid of his mechanical arm, more red vines crawled out of the Fire Feather Dragon's body. With loud cracking sounds, they crushed Xu Sheng's mechanical arm and swallowed it into the wound on its neck!
If it were not for Xu Sheng, who had 40% of his body made up of mechanical prosthetics, Shao Jianqing, Wu Wu, or Han Xing, unless they had the courage to instantly cut off their arms, there was a high possibility that they would be eaten by the Fire Feather Dragon's carcass!
"What's going on?"
The four felt their skins crawl, and they were dumbfounded.
Right in front of them, the Fire Feather Dragon's carcass underwent an astonishing change.
The originally dark red feathers turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye, and scarlet vines drilled out of the wounds, wrapping around the body in circles, as if they were using this method to reassemble the broken corpse.
It swayed before it stood up again.
Its eyeballs had long since been corroded away, but at that moment, two green beams of demonic fire burned in them. It was like a ghost was staring at them, and it made the four people's skin crawl.
The broken bones protruded out of its body in a completely unconcerned manner. It was as if there were sharp blades that shone with a chilling light all over its body, and it brought the same amount of pain to itself and its enemies.
Flames surrounded its body again, but this time, it was a dark green that gave off no heat. It released a pungent smell that was unique to poison and acid.
Its appearance and presence were completely different from before. If the Fire Feather Dragon just now was the tyrant of Nightmarish Beasts, then right now, it was the purest and deepest nightmare.
"Corpse transformation!"
Shao Jianqing's face was cold, and she hissed those words through gritted teeth.
