To prevent this from happening, Lilith modified the crocodile's skeletal structure into a mesh and made it hollow, which increased the strength of the skeleton while reducing its weight.

Then came the speed of the giant crocodile. As an amphibian, the crocodile's limbs are not naturally suited for running. Lilith shrank her hand and waved it, stretching the crocodile into long legs.

After completing this step, Lilith was stunned for a moment, thinking: If you want to increase the speed of the crocodile, why not just attach a pair of wings? Flying is always faster than running.

Thinking of this, Lilith immediately added a pair of fleshy wings that were about eighty meters long when spread out to this twenty-meter-long crocodile, but its weight was still a major problem.

After much thought, Lilith suddenly remembered that birds have air sacs in their bodies to reduce weight, so she simply added four super-large air sacs to the crocodile.

In this way, a monster used to spread despair and fear was almost finished, but the more Lilith looked at the long-legged crocodile with wings in front of her, the more she thought it was terrible.

"This thing is stupid, not scary at all..."

Lilith murmured, and to make the thing even more terrifying, she used her artistic talent to change the crocodile's skin color to a more oppressive black, and gave the crocodile a long neck and horns on its head that looked like a crown.

Having accomplished this, Lilith looked at the epic creation she had painstakingly crafted and nodded with immense satisfaction:

"Hmph, such an image will definitely scare those ape-men to death. Once Qing kills it, he will definitely be able to break through to the Special Grade Sorcerer."

Lilith never considered the possibility that Qing wouldn't be able to defeat the monster. If Qing really couldn't defeat it, she could personally take action to disable it.

Now, the experiment on the extraordinary system of the small world has finally begun its final chapter. With a wave of her hand, Lilith sent the crocodile, which had been transformed into a 20-meter-long black dragon, to the forest less than a thousand meters outside Iz City.

As if in response to this monster that should not exist in this world, a sudden clap of thunder exploded in the sky, followed by large raindrops falling.

Standing on the city wall, Qing was the first to notice the rain. He stretched out his hand and felt the raindrops hitting his palm, and his unease grew stronger.

Qing didn't know why she had this feeling. Perhaps it was because she had experienced six days of intense fighting, which had greatly affected her senses.

The rain, which should have washed away the bloodstains of the battlefield, felt even stickier than blood when it landed on my palm. Qing subconsciously looked towards the forest, where a huge shadow towered above the trees.

"Another specialized species?"

Qing's expression hardened, and he was about to leap down from the city wall to deal with the huge but clumsy monster when, before he could, the enormous shadow suddenly spread out a pair of fleshy wings that blotted out the sky.

Chapter 162: The Black Dragon Under the Dark Clouds

Rumble

The lightning snake stretched across the horizon, its pale light illuminating the hideous outline of the dark figure. Its bright yellow eyes were filled with a primal hunger and undisguised ferocity.

As the lightning struck, a deafening roar echoed through the heavens and the earth. Qing could hear it clearly; within the immense thunder, there was a deep rumble.

The sound was strangely familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before. Qing wanted to find the source of the sound, but the black dragon with its wings spread in the distance did not give him any chance. With a flap of its wings, its huge body took off against common sense and rushed towards the direction of Iz City with a very strong purpose.

Seeing the enormous creature approaching, his hair stood on end. He finally understood why he had always felt something was wrong; the true divine punishment had only just begun.

Qing did not immediately engage in battle, but instead quickly turned around and shouted to the ape-men in Iz City who were celebrating surviving the beast tide:

"Danger! The disaster isn't over yet! Get out of here immediately! Escape towards the palace!"

The words had barely left his mouth when they were quickly drowned out by the laughter and cheers of the ape-men. Someone noticed Qing's strange expression and realized that something was wrong. He was about to call for his companions to be quiet when, before he could even speak, a dark shadow on the horizon rapidly enlarged in front of them.

boom!

The enormous black shadow crashed into Iz City like a meteor. The terrifying impact instantly turned large areas of buildings into dust. The shockwave stirred up a cloud of dust and made Qing's white robe flutter in the wind.

A piercing scream ripped through the night sky, and the city of Iz, which had just been filled with cheers, was instantly shrouded in fear. The ape-men scattered and fled, while Qing stood on the city wall, staring intently at the huge figure that slowly raised its head amidst the dust.

"What exactly is this thing?"

His blue pupils trembled. He searched through his memories but could not find a creature that matched this shadow. A possibility popped into his mind: this was a terrifying being sent by the gods to bring divine punishment, and it was not an ordinary beast.

Qing's breathing quickened. Faced with such an unknown entity, he couldn't help but feel nervous. But as his gaze swept over the people who had been killed or injured by the black dragon's attacks, he clenched his fists and shot out like an arrow, heading straight towards the black dragon.

He roared:

"Everyone get out of here! I'll hold this beast off!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qing was already in front of the black dragon. He threw a punch, which knocked the terrifying twenty-meter-long body off its feet and onto the ground, unable to get up for a moment.

Taking the opportunity, Qing glanced around and saw that the extraordinary individuals, comparable to level four and three magicians, were standing at a distance, hesitant to move forward. Clearly, they wanted to help, so he roared:

"Leave this to me! You all go and help the others evacuate!"

Upon hearing this, the extraordinary ape-men hardened their hearts and left to help the injured and immobile ape-men evacuate.

Seeing this, Qingcai breathed a sigh of relief. He rubbed his numb wrist and looked at the black dragon twisting its body, trying to get up. He knew very well what kind of opponent this was.

This is absolutely the strongest opponent Qing has ever encountered. It is no exaggeration to say that, apart from him, even if all the superhumans in the entire city of Iz were combined, they would be no match for Black Dragon with a single slap.

[They actually sent out such an opponent; it seems the gods are truly angry...]

Qing took a deep breath and immediately focused his attention. Even when facing an opponent like Heilong, he would not back down even a step. This was both a responsibility and a promise.

At the same time, the black dragon finally remembered that it had been a crocodile not long ago. With a flip, it straightened itself and looked down at the tiny green creature. Although it didn't know why, a voice kept reminding it in its mind:

[Make the person in front of you feel despair]

The black dragon didn't know what despair was, but when it crashed into the city, the ape-men howled and fled in terror. The feeling of arbitrarily dominating other people's lives... was fun!

A hint of human-like amusement flashed in the black dragon's eyes. With a twist of its body, its thick tail leveled the stone and wooden house, slamming into Qing and sending him flying dozens of meters, crashing through several walls before finally coming to a stop.

Black Dragon ignored Qing, his eyes sweeping over the direction the ape-men had fled, and raised his pair of exaggerated, sky-covering fleshy wings.

Despite the pain coursing through his body, Qing crawled out of the ruins. When he saw the black dragon spread its fleshy wings, a chill ran down his spine. He roared, "You dare!" and charged at the black dragon at full speed.

In the end, Qing's speed proved superior. Before the black dragon could flap its wings, he reached it, leaped into the air, and punched the black dragon, leaving it dizzy and disoriented.

The force of his punch made Qing's fur flutter. He knew that even though he seemed capable of beating the black dragon senseless, the black dragon's tight, iron-like scales blocked most of his power.

[Damn it! This can't go on; we must move the battlefield outside the city!]

Qing's gaze swept over the ruins of the buildings, which had been painstakingly built by the ape-men. To minimize the damage, he took advantage of the black dragon's dazed state and grabbed its massive tail tightly with both hands.

Boom!

Qing took a step forward, his right foot embedding itself more than an inch into the ground. Then, a tremendous force surged into the black dragon's body through his arms. As Qing gritted his teeth, his veins bulged, and he actually dragged the twenty-meter-long black dragon away.

Like a windmill, Qing grabbed the black dragon's tail and started spinning it. Using the powerful centrifugal force, he threw the black dragon out of the city. He took a deep breath and quickly followed, afraid that the black dragon might lose its balance and fly back into the city.

The rain grew heavier, and the ground outside the city, already stained red with the blood of the special species, became even muddier. Blood mixed with rainwater, pooling into puddles along the ditches.

Qing stepped on the puddles, his gaze never leaving the black dragon in the distance, which had broken off a large number of trees. At this moment, the black dragon had recovered from the punch it had just received. It shook its head, seemingly aware that the guy in front of it was an obstacle to its amusement.

The two stared at each other until a raindrop fell into the pool of blood, creating ripples, and then they both moved at the same time.

Facing the massive body of the black dragon, Qing decided to do what he had done twenty years ago when dealing with the prehistoric honey badger variant: since he couldn't break through its defenses, he would start with the weakest point, such as its eyes.

call!

The black dragon's forepaw grazed Qing's cheek, drawing a thin line of blood. Qing used the forepaw as a springboard to leap into the air and punched the black dragon's bright yellow vertical pupil.

This time, however, Qing's moves didn't work. A human-like smile appeared in the black dragon's eyes, and then it turned its head to reveal a row of sharp teeth that gleamed coldly.

puff!

The sound of flesh being pierced rang out. Taking advantage of Qing's lack of leverage while he was in mid-air, the black dragon bit down on Qing's right arm, and blood gushed out. It actually tore off the right arm and swallowed it whole.

Qing clutched his severed arm, letting out a muffled groan. Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead from the pain. He stared at the black dragon, and his bright yellow eyes, besides the mockery, held a hint of longing for flesh and blood. He had fallen in love with the taste.

Chapter 163: The Black Dragon's Calamity

Qing gritted his teeth, the world before him blurring for a moment. He stared at the twenty-meter-long black dragon, and some thoughts uncontrollably surfaced in his mind:

[Can I really defeat this guy? With its speed and strength, I have absolutely no chance to attack its weak points. On the contrary, all its stats are better than mine. If this goes on for a long time, I'll definitely lose...]

This is not Qing's guess, but an undeniable fact. The black dragon has been modified by Lilith. Although it is a completely new creature, its body structure is even more perfect than before, and there will be no incongruity at all.

And what about Qing? After becoming a superhuman, most of the battles he experienced were crushing victories, where the strong bullied the weak and the powerful triumphed over the weak. His mastery of his own power was far less profound than that of the Black Dragon.

So when facing the Black Dragon, Qing had no chance of winning. But... knowing that he would fail, should he just give up so easily?

Qing had no intention of giving up, because he had a reason to fight. If he fled, his people would surely die, but if he could buy them time to escape, there would still be a glimmer of hope.

Qing took a deep breath, calming his heart, which was racing from the loss of his arm. He stared at the black dragon opposite him, and regardless of whether it could understand him, he spoke to himself:

"Although I hate to admit it, it is undeniable that you are very strong, stronger than any opponent I have ever encountered. I may even die in this battle, but I will never back down even a step."

God, I know you are watching me, wanting to see my sorrow, my anger, my despair as I beg for your forgiveness, but what I want to say is: man is not born to be defeated, man's greatness lies not in what he does, but in what he refuses to do..."

Qing's voice wasn't loud; it sounded more like he was talking to himself than to the black dragon.

Lilith, who was outside the world, heard these words and understood what Qing wanted to express: that she would never surrender, even if it meant death.

Lilith found this amusing, but amusement alone wasn't enough; it also needed to be useful. So, Lilith decided to give the black dragon an order: Don't listen to him anymore, quickly end the battle and get into the city to accumulate despair and fear.

Once the command was issued, the black dragon, which had been waiting to see what tricks Qing was up to, suddenly changed its mind. Without any warning, it rushed forward and slapped Qing with its claw.

Qing was caught off guard by the black dragon's sudden attack and had no time to react. Faced with the claw strike that was powerful enough to split rocks, he had no choice but to hastily raise his hand to block.

Boom!

Qing successfully blocked the attack, but was slammed into the air by the black dragon's terrifying force. Facing the black dragon's gaping maw that followed closely behind, Qing's pupils shrank, and he knew something was wrong.

The next second, the gaping maw snapped shut, biting Qing and swallowing him whole. Under this sneak attack, Qing was forced to type "GG" in the chat.

Seeing this, Lilith was stunned. She only wanted the black dragon to temporarily repel Qing and take the opportunity to instill fear and despair in Iz City, so as to accumulate power for Qing's later breakthrough.

However, to everyone's surprise, the black dragon swallowed Qing whole. With Qing dead, the experiment ended in failure, and it was all because of a small mistake that should never have happened.

"Damn it, you bastard...!"

Lilith stared at the black dragon in the small world, completely ignoring that the culprit was the wrong command, and directly pinned all the blame on the black dragon's head.

To vent her dissatisfaction, Lilith was about to manipulate the weather of the small world to unleash lightning and kill the wicked black dragon, but before that, she suddenly sensed a life force inside the black dragon's belly.

Lilith's eyes lit up, and she immediately realized that Qing was still alive. She immediately abandoned the idea of ​​killing the black dragon directly and decided to see if Qing could last a few more rounds.

In the small world, the black dragon that had just swallowed Qing was unaware that it had just escaped a catastrophic disaster. Following Lilith's instructions, it dealt with Qing, then spread its broad, fleshy wings and soared into the sky, flying towards Iz City.

call

Even the rain seemed to have become violent, the raindrops soaking through the rammed earth roads, making them muddy and causing the ape-men who were rushing to the main hall in the city center to slip and fall from time to time.

Fortunately, the apes showed amazing unity in the face of disaster. There was no chaos or stampede. If someone fell, someone would lend a hand. If someone was injured, someone would help them up. Everyone did their best to help others, without expecting anything in return, just to get through the difficulties together.

This level of unity allowed the apes to survive almost all disasters, but in the face of absolute power, this unity was as fragile as ants huddling together in water.

When the black dragon, with its wingspan exceeding eighty meters, crashed into the city of Iz, accompanied by a raging storm, despair spread rapidly throughout the city like a tidal wave.

A bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, making the enormous figure appear even more terrifying: its head held high, its sharp teeth gleaming with a cold, white light, and its bright yellow vertical pupils.

One of the ape-men inadvertently met those eyes and let out a terrified scream, but what greeted him was a huge claw falling from the sky.
