"Roar — — —!"
Along with furious roars, dozens of fire dragons spread their wings and pounced on the Dark Dragon in midair. Judging from its appearance, the Dark Dragon was only slightly larger than the fire dragons. If it were a one-on-one battle, the fire dragons would definitely be no match for it. But now, in the face of the group of fire dragons that surrounded it from all directions, anyone would think that this black dragon would eventually be defeated and die under the siege of these fire dragons.
But that wasn't the case.
As the dozens of fire dragons pounced on the Dark Dragon, the latter lifted its body abruptly and gazed at the group of fire dragons indifferently like a monarch in the sky. At the same time, the fire dragons that flew toward the Dark Dragon slowed down all of a sudden. Their agile bodies became as slow as snails, and even the speed of their flapping wings became as slow as an old cow pulling a cart.
The fire dragons didn't know what was happening to them. Their beast-like IQ couldn't understand what kind of predicament they were in. But even so, they widened their mouths and spat out blazing flames at the Dark Dragon. However, before the flames that were powerful enough to incinerate everything displayed their might, they were resisted by the magical barrier that flashed before the Dark Dragon.
Then, the Dark Dragon puffed out its chest and widened its mouth.
In the next moment, the fire dragons began to weaken at a speed visible to the naked eye. Their originally robust bodies gradually became thin and weak, and their originally powerful limbs began to wither. At that moment, the fire dragons also realized that something was amiss. They instinctively flapped their wings and fled, but under the restraint of the invisible strength, even escaping became an extravagant hope.
At that moment, the Black Dragon let out a furious roar. At the same time, it flapped its wings to its surroundings.
"— — —!"
A pitch-black dragon breath spurted out from the Dark Dragon's mouth, spreading like a mist that enveloped the group of fire dragons. The fire dragons that were struck by the dragon breath howled in agony, before lowering their heads slowly and remaining motionless. In the blink of an eye, the originally chaotic and violent sky regained its calm once again. Meanwhile, those fire dragons that were previously as violent as wild beasts were all suspended in the sky motionlessly, without the slightest movement.
Looking at this scene, the Black Dragon let out a snort and flapped its wings abruptly. At the next moment, the corpses of the fire dragons fell from the sky, crashing heavily onto the ground and no longer reacting.
"Phew …"
Gazing at the corpses of the fire dragons on the ground, Fangzheng let out a long sigh of relief, before landing on the ground slowly.
It had been more than 10 days since Fangzheng entered this world. During this period of time, he had more or less understood this world.
First of all, this was a very 'normal' world.
That's right. The so-called 'normal' meant that there were no magic, myths, immortal spells, devils, or anything that came out of fantasy. Everything was' realistic '. Even creatures like the fire dragons were realistic. After inspecting them, Fangzheng was surprised to discover that the reason why the fire dragons breathed fire wasn't to manipulate the fire element like the dragons in the main world. Instead, they breathed out liquid through the venom glands on both sides of their mouths. When the liquid in the venom glands mixed together, it would produce a substance with a low ignition point that burned directly in the air, causing the fire dragons to breathe flames.
Frankly speaking, when Fangzheng learned about this matter, he was dumbfounded.
That was too f * cking scientific!
Not magical at all!
As for how humans perished, Fangzheng almost came to a conclusion after studying and observing the fire dragons. In his opinion, the fire dragons were tough on the outside and had a certain degree of resistance to radiation. Besides, the speed at which they gave birth was just like fish, laying a large number of eggs at a time and reproducing at a rapid speed. They weren't picky eaters and would eat anything as long as it was alive. Moreover, they breathed fire …
Hmm … Perhaps the human civilization in this world was killed by the sea of fire dragons.
How tragic.
Fangzheng observed three minutes of silence for the human civilization in this world. What else could he say? He could only blame society for his tough life.
As for his mission in this world, Fangzheng also had a clue. That was to plunder the time of the fire dragons and accumulate enough time for him to successfully reach the first 'Ten Consecutive Credits'. Then, he could start 'Credits to change his fate'. As long as Fangzheng could successfully grow to the next stage, the remaining problems wouldn't be a problem anymore.
Therefore, during this period of time, Fangzheng basically hunted the fire dragons along the way and honed his skills.
During this process, he also studied the 'Aura Plunder' ability and the feeling of devouring time to a certain extent.
The essence of time was flowing, one-way, and irreversible. Just like how the process of 'health, aging, and death' represented the essence of time, when Fangzheng devoured time, its essence would naturally be absorbed by Fangzheng. As a Time Dragon, he was free from time and wasn't affected by it. However, Fangzheng wasn't willing to swallow a mouthful of stinky tofu at the end of every meal.
Fortunately, Fangzheng also had a countermeasure. As the holder of Massayr's and Arthis's soul crystals, Fangzheng wasn't unfamiliar with the power of death. Therefore, he used the power of the Time Dragon to weave a 'filter net' to eliminate the impurities attached to time. This way, when Fangzheng devoured and plundered time, the 'characteristics' attached to it would be intercepted by the filter net and wouldn't enter Fangzheng's body. Not only that, but Fangzheng could also use it as a dragon's breath.
One had to know that those were the characteristics of 'aging' and 'death'. Therefore, even though Fangzheng's dragon's breath didn't deal any direct physical damage, those who were struck by it would be infected with the debuff of 'aging' and 'death'. If they didn't have any countermeasures, they would obviously end up dead.
"But this amount of power isn't enough … I wonder where there are more fire dragons …"
Fangzheng mumbled to himself, looking left and right. Then, he suddenly turned to a certain direction. Not far from Fangzheng, there was a collapsed fire dragon's nest. Even though he wasn't sure if it collapsed during the battle earlier, it seemed like it was done for.
But what caught Fangzheng's attention wasn't the collapsed fire dragon's nest. Instead, it was the eggs in the nest.
"These are the fire dragon's eggs, right?"
Fangzheng came to the side of the nest out of curiosity and carefully sized up the fire dragon egg in front of him. This was the first time Fangzheng had seen a fire dragon egg. They were basically dark red in color, the same color as the fire dragon's skin. Perhaps due to the collapse of the nest, most of the eggs were full of holes from being smashed by the rubble. It was apparent that it was impossible for them to hatch any little life.
Kacha.
"Hmm?"
At this moment, Fangzheng heard a faint sound. He turned around hurriedly and curiously looked in the direction of the sound. He discovered that there was actually another fire dragon's egg nearby. But unlike the other fire dragon's eggs, this one was entirely black. If it weren't for its ridiculously large size, Fangzheng would have thought that it was some kind of rock!
Kacha … Kacha …
Under Fangzheng's gaze, the black dragon egg began to gradually shatter. Following that, the top of it cracked open with a popping sound. Following that, a tiny head peeked out.
It was a small fire dragon that looked similar to the other fire dragons. However, its body color wasn't quite the same as the other fire dragons. This small fire dragon was entirely black and its eyes were golden.
Perhaps it's a dark type.
After carefully observing the small fire dragon, Fangzheng quickly came to a conclusion. Since there was no such thing as unscientific magic in this world, and even the fire dragons had a complete scientific logic to explain why they could breathe fire, it wasn't strange for dark types to appear.
In fact, there were many animals in nature that were afflicted with albinism, such as white tigers, whales, and peacocks. Animals with melanosis also existed. For example, the well-known black panther was actually a mutation of the leopard after it had melanosis.
In this case, it wasn't strange for this small fire dragon to be afflicted with the dark type.
"Ah — —!"
However, to Fangzheng's surprise, just as the tiny fire dragon struggled to crawl out of the eggshell, it opened its eyes and saw Fangzheng in front of it. Then, the small fire dragon's eyes glinted and it scampered to Fangzheng's side. It extended its head and began to gently rub against Fangzheng's body.
"…"
Looking at this scene, Fangzheng felt terrible.
