Chapter 986 -634: Birth of the Overlord Dragon (Part 2)

Immediately, Ji Jiao took out a dungeon crystal.

He held it lightly in his palm, then placed it on the ground.

Buzz…

A portal of light appeared in front of them.

[Caocao~]

The little grass figurine knew it was time to play again and immediately raised its hands joyfully.

“Let’s go, depart.”

Ji Jiao smiled, waved, and was the first to step into the portal of light.

As a sense of weightlessness settled in, he opened his eyes and had transformed into a majestic large dinosaur.

It was a large, quadrupedal herbivorous dinosaur, resembling a Triceratops.

The difference was that it had just a single horn on its head, dazzling in crystal purple.

Its body was covered in large diamond-shaped scales, like a suit of heavy armor.

Here, it wasn’t called Ji Jiao, but Ji Long.

“Young master, how many times have I told you.”

“Can’t you let me go first? What if you encounter danger?”

Hu Wei followed closely behind, her voice becoming hoarse.

Strictly speaking, here she wasn’t called Hu Wei, but Guardian Dragon.

Also quadrupedal, it belonged to the ankylosaurid group.

Its entire back was a large oval shield.

The surface was smooth and flat, with a metallic texture.

Unlike Ji Long, Guardian Dragon was a large carnivorous dragon.

However, it wasn’t adept at hunting but excelled at protecting its companions.

“Dragon Caocao~”

The last to come in was a medium-sized green dragon.

It resembled a Velociraptor, but its entire body texture seemed like it was made of green grass.

The little grass figurine here was the Little Grass Dragon.

It was different from both carnivorous and herbivorous types, belonging to a very special kind of dinosaur.

A liquid-feeder, it survived by consuming fluids.

Don’t let its medium size fool you; its combat power was ferociously strong.

Even facing a large dinosaur head-on, it wouldn’t flinch.

“The weather tonight is quite suitable for a duel.”

Ji Long looked around.

Although it was deep into the night, the moonlight was abundant.

Coupled with the occasional thunderous lightning strikes and the glow of a few gigantic volcanoes in the distance, the visibility within a few kilometers was quite good.

“The dueling plains aren’t far from here; we should get going.”

After finding the direction, Ji Long led Guardian Dragon and Little Grass Dragon forward.

They passed through dense forests and over hills.

Along the way, they encountered several other large dinosaurs drawn by the same news.

Without exception, these dragons were all Cardholders.

Because primitive dragons didn’t possess such high intelligence, they couldn’t gather information about tonight’s showdown through various channels.

Every time they encountered these large Cardholder dragons, both sides would exchange distant glances.

The friendly ones would greet each other across the air.

The wary ones immediately turned away to keep their distance.

In any case, there was no close contact or conflict.

Having evolved to the level of large dragons, every Cardholder dragon was cautious of its own life.

They typically each had their own territory and wouldn’t generally engage in combat.

Because in battles between large dragons, no matter who wins, the end might not be favorable for either side.

After all, even the victor might emerge with a pyrrhic victory, allowing others an opportunity.

So, typically, large Cardholder dragons would only hunt medium-sized ones.

A situation like Ji Long’s was even worse; it couldn’t evolve by consuming meat.

It could only gain evolutionary energy by consuming grass growing upon someone else’s grave.

The evolutionary path of herbivorous dragons had its pros and cons.

The advantage was not having to hunt others, avoiding many bloodthirsty confrontations.

The downside was that even if it defeated a strong enemy, it had to bury them with honor.

Because only if it’s properly buried, can grass grow on their grave.

With this, the evolution cycle was greatly prolonged compared to carnivorous dragons.

Just like tonight, it had assigned itself the role of cleaning up after the battle.

Tonight, many large dragons were gathering on this plain, drawn by the prospect of a duel between large dragons.

The word was that both Cardholder dragons had reached the pinnacle of large dragon evolution.

Beyond large dragons came the Dominator level.

For Cardholder dragons, reaching the Dominator level was the ultimate evolutionary goal.

Reaching the Dominator level was akin to completing a dungeon quest; they could then draw cards with fulfillment.

If they hadn’t reached the Dominator level, accumulating ten deaths would also complete the mission, but the quality and quantity of card draws would be affected.

Tonight, they were there to witness it.

To witness the birth of a Dominator level.

Of course, even if one side consumed the other, it might not necessarily evolve into the Dominator level.

After all, how much evolutionary energy was needed to evolve from a large dragon to Dominator wasn’t exactly clear.

Ji Long only knew that once the battle was over.

If he took some remnants from one side and buried them, he could finally taste the grass from a large dragon’s grave.

Arriving at the vast plain, Ji Long and the others saw that many large dragons had already taken their places, waiting.

At a glance, they formed a vague circle, with considerable distances between them.

One or two large dragons stood in groups, while others, like them, brought medium-sized dragon underlings.

There were about thirty or forty large dragons present.

At this moment, they exhibited different states.

Some lazily sprawled or lay on the ground, looking as if they were conserving energy.

Others maintained a vigilant standing posture, as if on the lookout.

“It seems a lot of dragons really have come tonight.”

Guardian Dragon scanned the crowd, feeling a hidden desire to drool.

Being able to feast on any one of these large dragons would be wonderful.

“We usually mind our own business, and even meeting up is rare.”

“For so many large dragons to gather tonight is indeed a rare sight.”

Ji Long mused.

“Young master, who exactly are the two dragons dueling tonight?”

Guardian Dragon asked curiously.

“I don’t know; I also heard it from a wandering medium-sized dragon.”

“Anyway, it’s definitely not those guys surrounding our territory; they don’t have the guts.”

Ji Long replied.

Some dragons liked to wander and picked up a lot of news along the way.

In the dragon world, communication means were limited; information was passed orally between Cardholder dragons.

“I’ve heard about it too, and lately the little dragons in our territory have been talking about this.”

Guardian Dragon nodded.

Of course, while the small and medium-sized dragons might tattle away, they dared not actually come to witness a large dragon battle, nor were they qualified.

Like the Little Grass Dragon beside them, if it weren’t protected by the two, it might already have been eaten by another large dragon halfway here.

Not to mention other large dragons; even Ji Long himself was quite tempted to eat it.

The fresh body of grass certainly looked enticing.

“I would like to see what a peak large dragon is like, though I hope it’s not just a rumor.”

Guardian Dragon was a bit expectant.

Seeing a peak large dragon was one thing, but being able to nibble off some of its meat would be even better.

Despite not being adept at initiating attacks, it was a first-class expert at grabbing meat.

“It’s hard to say.”

Ji Long curved his mouth, revealing an awkward smile.

If it turned out to be just a rumor, they’d have no choice but to return empty-handed.

To have made it to the large dragon level, they each had some thoughts and plans.

They wouldn’t have come if they hadn’t heard the dueling location was this plain.

From the cautious positions taken by everyone, it was clear enough.

The terrain here was open, with routes in all directions for easy retreat—ideal for spectating.

If it had been a more dangerous, hard-to-retreat location, they might not have come out of fear of some treacherous plot.

“Caocao~”

As the two dragons conversed, Little Grass Dragon lowered its head, trying to lick a drop of dew hanging on a blade of grass.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Suddenly, tremors from the ground caused the droplet to quiver slightly and fall to the ground.

“Caocao~?”

Little Grass Dragon looked confused, raising its head in the direction of the tremors.

In fact, it wasn’t the only one; all the large dragons on the plain now stood up and looked in the same direction.

“Look, it’s not just a rumor.”

“The lead role has arrived.”

Ji Long’s eyes brightened as he watched the gigantic form approach step by step.
