Chapter 331 Aftermath! The Aerial Battle Between the Dragon and Flying Creatures! (Please Subscribe)

"We've got all our weapons ready, but we can't even manage close combat!"

"Sir, we will definitely fight side by side from now on! No rush, no rush!"

"Haha, that's true. The celestial convergence problem is serious. From now on, let's fight side by side and drink more!"

Bellergas laughed when he thought of the message Lillers had sent back.

His laughter was loud. Luckily, he wasn't in command post, otherwise the humans would have had to stay away from him and avoid Bellegas's rather loud noise.

"Of course! Of course!"

Bellegas laughed as he asked, "Mr. Dou, your shells are very powerful, aren't there many? Do you have any more? Fire a few more! Once we've cleared a certain area, we'll prepare to launch our attack."

He looked at the armored crabs that had been blown to pieces, and his eyes gleamed not with fear, but with the light of gold coins.

"These big guys haven't evolved into magical creatures yet, but given their size, they'll probably be soon. Their flesh must be incredibly delicious, and they might even have magic crystals inside!"

"And those octopuses, they're great for making some potions! Their tentacles would be amazing grilled! Once we're done, we can buy all the ingredients! And when we sell the finished products later, I'll give you a 20% discount!"

Dou Jiankang's lips twitched, and he gained a completely new understanding of his ally's thought process.

Wang Kaixuan, standing beside him, was also lost in thought as he looked at the group of deep-sea seafood.

For example, how to quickly process large quantities of seafood to extract raw materials for making warrior potions.

How can we detect whether these deep-sea seafoods are non-toxic, then freeze the ingredients to ensure their freshness and even their ability to slightly enhance physical fitness?

Recently, they have been conducting various explorations of the Devil's Sea.

For example, the further north you go, the more serious the seafood pollution problem becomes.

That's a special kind of distortion.

It can make deep-sea creatures more powerful, possessing incredible, even evolutionary, abilities.

For example, the super regenerative abilities of large octopuses, and the ink they spray not only provides escape capabilities but also has a high corrosiveness, causing organisms that come into contact with it to fall into various complex states of hallucination.

Some octopus tissues also possess a high level of magical reactivity. Decomposing them yields large quantities of magic crystal powder and similar energy storage organs.

When you travel about 300 kilometers south from the Devil's Sea in the far north, the mutations of the large octopus will become very small.

Upon reaching the Tranquil Harbor region, more than 600 kilometers away, the distortion almost disappeared.

However, the size of various deep-sea organisms remains as large as ever, but their aggressiveness and functionality are greatly reduced.

However, this reduction is stable, unlike the extremely unstable reduction in the far north, which even has various hallucinogenic side effects.

Dou Jiankang smiled and said, "Your Excellency Bellegas, we have plenty of ammunition. As for these ingredients, we can give some to our friends after the war."

"A gift?!" Bellergas's expression stiffened slightly. He began to calculate in his mind how much they would lose if they were to use these top-grade materials.

"Ahem, my good friend, my good brother! Why don't we get involved too! These deep-sea creatures are usually very difficult to catch. Now, stimulated by forbidden magic, they've rushed out in large numbers. If we don't handle it in time, there will definitely be problems."

"Haha, Lord Bellegas, we're rather inexperienced in dealing with these deep-sea creatures, but we can work together and use secret methods to handle them!"

Bellegas paused for a moment, thought for a second, and then nodded and said, "No problem, no problem. Our human friends have taught us a lot, and we are willing to teach you some of the methods for extracting deep-sea creatures. However, this requires quite a few skilled fishermen."

"We will provide them with more job opportunities and corresponding benefits!"

Bellergas burst into laughter once again.

On the other side, Ethan of the Elf race looked rather pale.

He had long since become numb to the exchange of benefits between dwarves and humans.

At this moment, he was staring intently at the screen, watching the fire net formed by tracer rounds, watching the monsters turned into charred remains in the incendiary bombs, and his Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.

As an elf, he revered nature and elegance. He admired noble lineage and divine favor!

His arrows, magic, art, and life all pursue an ultimate harmony and beauty.

However, the way humans fight is a completely different matter.

There were no chants, no magic circles, only cold steel, deafening roars, and pure, utter destruction.

A massive, armored lobster had just crawled out from a pile of its fallen companions and hadn't even had a chance to show off when it was precisely hit by a cannonball that fell from the sky.

His entire body, along with his hard carapace, instantly turned into countless flying fragments.

Ethan's pupils suddenly contracted.

To deal with a lobster—is such a powerful shell really necessary?

"Madmen—no—these humans are just nouveau riche—" he muttered. "Are they out of their minds? To eliminate a lowly threat like a giant lobster, they're throwing out so many expensive shells! Why not use human lives to pay for it?"

She had previously witnessed the release of human weapons through memory-sharing magic.

But I've never experienced it firsthand.

This is a completely different, soul-stirring journey.

At this moment, the last vestiges of elven arrogance and human-like thoughts in Ethan's heart vanished completely.

"I was too naive! We should really adjust some of our previous actions; perhaps our clan could concede some benefits!"

At this moment, Ethan did not want to face the endless torrent of steel that humanity possessed.

Meanwhile, on a secluded hillside a few kilometers from the coastline.

Lin Li's clones, clad in dark green power armor, silently surveyed the entire battlefield.

Humans have previously dealt with threats from the ocean when exploring forbidden ocean areas in the far north.

There were quite a few flaws and problems in the previous battles.

However, many problems have been resolved after the last battle.

The performance of the human pioneering soldiers was even better than he had expected.

"It seems they're capable of handling things on their own now."

He grinned, then nodded in satisfaction.

The war potential of Earth's civilization is unfolding in this alien world in the most brutal and direct way.

Now that the crisis at Tranquil Harbor had been resolved, Lin Li turned his attention to the root cause of the incident.

He watched the creature licking its fur in the distance and asked this seemingly omniscient "cheat code."

"Laplace the Cat Demon, what's the story behind the Southern Human Kingdom unleashing this forbidden magic?"

A lazy thought, tinged with a hint of cunning, echoed in his mind.

[Aim~]

【Young man, want to know this secret? It's not expensive. For a fee of 100,000 units of Time-Space Source Essence, I, the little cat, will tell you everything I know about that kingdom.】

"One hundred thousand?"

Lin Li nearly choked on this astronomical figure. Even with all his current wealth combined, he couldn't scrape together a fraction of it.

This dead cat is clearly taking advantage of the chaos.

He changed the subject expressionlessly: "Then let's change the subject. What will be the long-term impact on the waters surrounding Tranquil Harbor after this magic dissipates?"

[Aim~]

[Meow~ This question is simple, all you need is a spacetime source substance.]

"Pay." Lin Li said without hesitation.

[Aim~]

[Meow~ The impact is minimal. The residual void energy from the magic will make the creatures in this sea area more violent and aggressive for the next two weeks, but it will gradually subside afterward and will not cause a permanent ecological disaster.]

Hearing this, Lin Li breathed a slight sigh of relief.

As long as the damage isn't permanent, the firepower of the human base is more than enough to deal with some of the frenzied seafood.

However, the cat demon hadn't finished speaking.

[Meow~ However, the forbidden magic those guys unleashed this time was quite loud, and the timing was off, plus the celestial convergence event! The energy fluctuations unexpectedly interfered with a rather dangerous area, which might—well, how should I put it—have woken up some big guy who was sleeping.]

Lin Li's heart skipped a beat: "Big guy? What do you mean? Where is he?"

[Aim~]

[Meow~ Want to know the exact location? I'll send another 100 spacetime source materials!]

"Why are there 100?"

[Aim~]

Because that big guy is dangerous!

Lin Li couldn't beat the other party, but he barely suppressed the urge to grab the cat and beat it up.

He glanced at his own spacetime source matter.

Yes, the Spacetime Cube has been receiving Source Essence every day these days. Moreover, since my exploration progress has increased and I've been spending more time in this world, my clones have also been absorbing Spacetime Source Essence.

He can now produce 100 source materials.

But is this thing really that important?

"I don't need a specific location, I just need to know what the other person is!"

【double!】

Lin Li clenched his fist: "I don't need a specific location, just something within a 500-kilometer radius?"

[Aim~]

[A spacetime source substance]

Another spacetime source was paid for.

Information flooded my mind instantly.

"Isn't he/she here?"

Lin Li suddenly had an epiphany.

"Damn it, it's definitely there, it's definitely there!"

That huge creature that was disturbed while staying in the forbidden area must be from the forbidden area near the Devil's Sea in the far north.

That place was very close to the human spacetime portal base, and even adjacent to the Ice River Base.

If something happens in that forbidden area, the resulting chain reaction will be inevitable.

Thinking of this, Lin Li's brows instantly furrowed into a deep frown.

Although he had never physically set foot in that place, the various incomprehensible energy attack methods, the series of spatial technologies, and the various buildings that had survived for tens of thousands of years without being destroyed all proved that it was a special place.

Lin Li knew there was wealth there, but it was also definitely a place of great danger.

If what's inside were to awaken or be drawn out, the consequences would be absolutely unimaginable.

"It's truly one wave after another."

He glanced at the battlefield ahead, which was nearing its end, and then looked towards the direction of the portal, his expression becoming serious.

"They won't even let me have a few days of peace and quiet!"

Far to the south, far from Tranquil Harbor, lies Skaney Island.

Here, two forces in the southern human kingdom are engaged in a final, brutal struggle.

One side was the last organized force of the former Dragon Dynasty.

The other force was the usurper army, which was winning victory after victory and was in high spirits!

Neither side knew the terrifying consequences of the magical storm they stirred up here, which had already caused in the far north.

The storm, like a roaring beast, engulfed the entire sea. The sky, the sea, and the islands became one battlefield, and the deafening roar of the fierce fighting filled the air.

This was the last large-scale naval battle between the former Dragon Dynasty and the usurpers.

In their quest for victory, the former officials of the Dragon Dynasty have staked everything, sparing no effort to use a large number of dragon eggs and even having some noble illegitimate children "voluntarily" offer their dragon blood.

In exchange for this, they unleashed forbidden magic powerful enough to disrupt the natural order and cause violent changes in the heavens and earth.

But the usurping army, as the attacking side, was well prepared for this.

The usurper's army, relying on information from some traitors and the magical artifacts they carried, managed to withstand the destruction of forbidden magic and even deployed their forces to Skane Island.

The forces of the former human dynasty were attacked from within and immediately lost their composure.

The ground war has now reached a stalemate. Most of the former Dragon Dynasty's ships and other assets have also been burned.

The only chance for the former human dynasty to turn the tide now lies with the dragon in the sky!

At this very moment, high in the sky, the Usurper Legion's flying legion, composed of griffins, giant eagles, and flying snakes, surrounded several smaller magical dragons like dark clouds, and then launched a final hunt for three wounded giant magical dragons.

The three besieged dragons were silver, crimson, and bronze. The silver dragon had a wingspan of no more than 50 meters and a body length of more than 20 meters.

The crimson and bronze dragons had wingspans of three hundred meters and bodies that were one hundred and fifty meters long. Just by hovering in the air, the shadows they cast were enough to cover the behemoth that was an aircraft carrier.

With a roar, the attacking dragon horde used their dragon flames to hunt down and kill the smaller demonic dragon.

"Innis!!!"

Dragon knights roared in the sky and then attempted to attack the surrounding enemies.

However, their dragon had previously exhausted too much magical energy in its fight against the powerful forbidden magic unleashed by its own people.

Now besieged again, the magicians hiding on Skane Island used a series of curse spells to weaken the dragon, leaving it in extremely poor condition.

"They're almost done for! Keep holding them off! Holding them off is victory!"

A knight riding a griffin and wearing a golden griffin helmet shouted in a voice amplified by magic.

【Hissing————】

The dragon roared and spewed out a dragon flame thousands of meters long, attempting to hunt down the enemies around it.

Dragonfire engulfed several griffins that couldn't dodge in time, burning them and the knights on top of them to ashes.

But that's all the results we could achieve.

The surrounding air force units fled in disarray.

If we don't launch an attack, we'll just be wasting time.

Below Skane Island, more than a dozen strange, scarlet beams of light, like arrows, suddenly appeared.

These beams of light traveled at supersonic speeds, launching an attack on the two demonic dragons hovering 4000 meters in the air!

Some arrows of light enveloped the dragon, and the dragon let out a terrified roar.

【Hissing————】

The magical shield on the dragon's body visibly weakened once again.

"Despicable!!!" the dragon rider cursed loudly.

He then contacted the dragon he was in sync with, instructing it to fly downwards and deal with the dangerous sorcerer.

The flying legions circling in the sky, attempting to ambush the flying legion piloting the dragon knights, made the dragon knights of these two demonic dragons extremely wary of dealing with them.

This is very frustrating.

At this rate of attack, the two behemoths that once symbolized royalty and power were now reduced to mere candles flickering in the wind.

As time passed, the magical rhythms surrounding them weakened to the point of being almost invisible. The dragon scales that could once easily deflect deadly magic were now dull and covered with corrosive acid, frozen wounds, and charred black from being burned by flames.

"Hiss—!"

A roar that pierced through gold and shattered stone resounded through the sky. The bronze dragon, which had been attacking east and west, suddenly turned its head and spewed out a breath of dragon fire mixed with crimson lightning, instantly swallowing several slow-flying flying snakes.

The flying snake didn't even have time to let out a mournful cry before it turned into charred remains in mid-air.

"Useless! Don't go near it, don't give it a chance to ambush you or catch its breath!"

Below, a usurper's dragon knight, riding a golden dragon with a wingspan of a hundred meters, seized the fleeting opening and launched a dragonfire attack on the bronze dragon. He then sternly gave orders to the other knights who were flying slower.

Amidst the curses, the golden dragon unleashed another cunning flaming breath, aimed directly at the bronze dragon's battered wing membranes.

On that tattered wing, the remaining magical shield shattered like fragile glass.

The flames tore open a huge gash.

"Hiss—"

The bronze dragon let out a mournful cry of resentment, its massive body losing its balance and plunging violently towards the sea below.

"Hahaha! It's finished! This beast's head is mine! I'm going to use it as a decoration to adorn my bedroom!" The knight on the golden dragon let out a triumphant laugh.

However, he didn't notice that the falling dragon's eyes didn't flash with despair, but rather with a mad madness of mutual destruction.

Just as the two dragons crossed paths, the bronze dragon suddenly roared.

The raging magical roar of the dragon stunned the giant dragon that was about to try to escape.

Turning back, it opened its blood-red maw and bit down on the smug golden dragon below!

The dragon's mouth, with its innate shield-breaking and magic-shattering properties, was put to full use at this moment.

"Crack!"

The golden dragon's shield, scales, and neck bone were destroyed and torn apart like rotten wood under that terrifying bite force.

"No--!"

The knight's maniacal laughter turned into a horrified scream as he watched helplessly as his mount was torn in two, warm dragon blood splattering all over his head and face.

He hurriedly dismounted from the dragon saddle and attempted to use magic to escape.

But it was already too late.

The bronze dragon's massive wings, each measuring 150 meters in length, swung with all its might before its death. The heavy wing bones, carrying unparalleled force, precisely slapped the fleeing dragon knight into a cloud of blood mist.

Then, the headless golden dragon's corpse, along with the bronze dragon that perished together, crashed into the sea.

boom!

A colossal wave surged skyward!

Two sea monsters, hundreds of meters long, covered in scales, slender like snakes, ice-blue in color, with ferocious horns, resembling Eastern dragons, suddenly emerged from below. They viciously dragged the still-struggling demonic dragon into them—

Soon after, scorching steam began to rise from beneath the ocean.

That was a high-temperature boiling reaction formed when the fiery magical blood of the dragon mingled with the icy seawater.

So many layers, it's as if they're bidding farewell to this former ruler of the skies.

In the sky, the hunting knights momentarily forgot to pursue the other crimson dragon, staring blankly at the enormous wave stirred up by the beast's fall.

After a moment of silence, the shouts of battle grew even more frenzied—
