Chapter 989 -636: Final Evolution

Luckily, the stone pillars around the perimeter don’t rise quickly.

So the dragons easily avoided them, and to keep their sight lines clear, they all climbed to the tops of the pillars.

“Is this… the true strength of a peak large dragon?”

Ji Long stood atop a stone pillar and looked around, astonished.

The original plain had transformed into a stone forest.

Boom!

In the center of the stone forest, stone pillars were collapsing one after another.

The skeleton dragon and mechanical dragon clashed again.

Though the mechanical dragon appeared to have a stronger physique, it didn’t have the upper hand.

Its attacks were indeed unstable, with missiles often hitting itself and a low accuracy in biting.

This instability caused both sides to fight to a standstill for the moment.

“NONO!”

The mechanical dragon, seemingly losing patience, roared, revealing two rows of black pores on its head and back.

White smoke, akin to steam, sprayed out from the pores.

Its bulb-like eyes started to glow red.

The white smoke spread out, blurring the dragons’ vision.

They could only see two vague figures battling within the smoke.

“What’s going on here!”

“Damn it, why is there censorship at such a crucial moment!”

“Who is winning?!”

The dragons craned their necks in curiosity, feeling a maddening itch.

Thankfully, the white smoke gradually thinned, making the figures of the two dragons in the smoke clear again.

But what the dragons didn’t notice was that the reason for the thinning smoke was its diffusion, starting to spread outwards, seeming like it would envelop the entire plain.

Yet the smoke was so thin, and all the dragons’ attention was focused on the battle.

So even though the white smoke really swept past them, covering the entire plain, they wouldn’t notice it at all.

If someone were observing from a god-like aerial view, they would find the smoke seemed sentient, stopping after enveloping the plain without continuing to spread outwards, forming a hazy white cloud.

As the mechanical dragon continued to spray, the volume of smoke increased.

Gradually, visibility worsened.

“Something’s off, why is the white smoke getting thicker?”

At this moment, Ji Long noticed something unusual.

Even the silhouette of the protective dragon nearby grew vague and blurry.

“Huh? Young master? What are you talking about?”

The protective dragon gently tilted its head.

It turned out the smoke could not only obscure vision but also impede sound transmission.

The two dragons were so close, yet Ji Long’s voice came to the protective dragon as a whisper, like a mosquito’s buzz, unclear.

“Wrong, this is wrong!”

“Let’s leave this place first!”

Ji Long shouted loudly at the protective dragon.

Then he intended to turn away.

However, as he turned, the whole dragon froze.

He suddenly realized he seemed lost in the smoke, unable to find the direction to leave.

Where did they come in from?

The directional stone pillars also somehow seemed reversed, becoming confusing.

“Damn, we seem to be trapped!”

“This place has a ghost!”

“Huh? What’s wrong?”

He looked again at the protective dragon beside him, only to see it motionless.

And then…

He saw the protective dragon’s head silently fall off.

“!!!”

In an instant, Ji Long’s pupils contracted to slits.

An ambush!

They were ambushed!

Tonight’s affair undoubtedly has issues!

The protective dragon’s head falling meant it was dead.

Ji Long wouldn’t waste time grieving, knowing he would be next.

To decapitate even the shield-like armored protective dragon meant the ambusher was formidable.

Importantly, how did the assailant achieve such stealth?

And the protective dragon was just talking to him, and then its head fell off, indicating the attacker possibly only needed one hit.

Such power, could it be a peak large dragon?

The skeleton dragon and mechanical dragon were still fighting; what he saw couldn’t possibly turn to ambush.

Meaning, within the smoke, there was a third peak large dragon hidden?

Boom!!

At this moment, Ji Long saw a blaze erupt in the distance.

The flames were so intense they even scattered some of the smoke.

Ji Long recognized this method.

Upon evolving to a medium dragon, some dragons mastered the self-destructive technique of mutual destruction.

And depending on their attributes and skills, this self-destructive effect varied.

“It seems more than just us were ambushed…”

Ji Long had a faint suspicion.

Yet this idea was his last thought.

Because inadvertently, a transparent figure brushed across his neck…

Then his vision began to plunge and whirl.

Finally, he saw his own body standing before him, slowly falling.

…

Within the white smoke, various roars and cries of large dragons sounded faintly.

Their numbers were rapidly decreasing.

At this moment, Flathead Dragon lay on the ground, mouth agape and unmoving.

“Damn it, what a crappy place!”

A large dragon cursed as it approached.

When it stepped into attack range, Flathead Dragon suddenly sprang up.

“Awooo!”

It instantly bit the other dragon’s neck.

“What-what?!”

The large dragon panicked immediately, its scales standing up like blades and shooting towards the enemy.
