Chapter 802: Chapter 669: Battle of the Little Hiding Dragon, Powerful Self-healing
The next day, early in the morning, Chu Mu went alone to investigate the Little Thunder Dragon in another Sky Demon Worm cavern group.
A Ghost Dragon was a legendary creature after all, so how could it only be a Servant-ranked Soul Pet? Chu Mu felt that something was off.
Chu Mu was still on the periphery of the Third-level Tribe, and there were many Sky Demon Worm clans within this range. In the Territories of these smaller clans, battling was unlikely to alarm the huge Sky Demon Worm Army – at most, it would only attract support from neighboring clans.
After the Little Thunder Dragon reached the Fifth Rank, its strength had reached the level of a Low-level Commander. This time, Chu Mu also didn’t allow Little Mo Xie to constantly protect the Little Thunder Dragon.
If any Soul Pet had protection in every battle, then it would become extremely dull in a real life-or-death battle. Chu Mu was a gentle Soul Pet Master, but also a very strict one. Since the Little Thunder Dragon had already reached the Fifth Rank, Chu Mu could no longer indulge this little fellow and had to give it some real battles.
This time, Chu Mu selected a Sixth-Level Tribe. Within the Sixth-Level Tribe, the strongest should be the Tenth-Rank High-ranking Commander-level, and of course, there were hundreds or thousands of other Rank and Stage Sky Demon Worms.
Chu Mu didn’t summon any other Soul Pets, only accompanied the Little Thunder Dragon in a battle above the Sixth-Level Tribe’s Sky Demon Worm’s cavern group.
Sky Demon Worms are not winged Soul Pets either; they could fly but didn’t have any specific advantages in aerial combat. As the battle continued, the Little Thunder Dragon gradually flew into the sky, weaving between mountain peaks and cliffs with hundreds of Sky Demon Worms in a seesaw battle.
“Try to merge the power of the Ghost Dragon,” Chu Mu said to the Little Thunder Dragon.
“Roar~~~~~~~~”
The Little Thunder Dragon’s teal pupils gradually changed, slowly becoming shrouded in a mysterious dark blue color. Its body also became more transparent, like the blue-tinged agate and quartz, and had a bit more of a ghost dragon’s appearance. Even when it was hovering in the sky without flapping its wings, it could still float.
After the Ghost Dragon attached itself, the Little Thunder Dragon’s strength didn’t increase, but its body became noticeably lighter. As it flew erratically, it was hard to grasp, and its evasion ability was significantly strengthened.
However, through battle testing, even though the Ghost Dragon’s attachment had some improvement in this aspect, it was still far from being as powerful as Chu Mu had imagined.
“Young Master, don’t be discouraged, maybe you haven’t found a way to control the Ghost Dragon yet,” The Fox Elder tried to comfort Chu Mu.
The attachment of the Ghost Dragon only gave the Little Thunder Dragon some unique movement methods and some Ghost Race techniques. The improvement in strength didn’t even reach a single level. Faced with this situation, Chu Mu felt helpless and could only continue to command the Little Thunder Dragon to battle against the hundreds and thousands of Sky Demon Worms with a bitter smile.
…
The battle lasted for more than half a day, and in the end, only 2 intermediate commanders and 1 high-level commander were left in the Seventh-Level Tribe.
“Fly around these mountain peaks.” Chu Mu stood on one of the peaks, commanding the Little Thunder Dragon from afar.
About a hundred meters behind the Little Thunder Dragon was the Six-winged Sky Demon Bug, followed by two intermediate commander-level Six-winged Sky Demon Bugs. They realized that after a long day of battle, not only was their enemy severely injured, but their stamina was also nearly depleted, so they pursued relentlessly.
“Shasha shasha shasha~~~~~~~~~”
The Little Thunder Dragon communicated with Chu Mu through soul sounds while maintaining its innocent and pitiful expression, flapping its wings laboriously in the air.
Its fleshy wings had been pierced by several toxic needles, and each flapping caused severe pain. To maintain flying speed without being caught by the Sky Demon Worms, the pain intensified.
“You can kill them by yourself, so you don’t need our protection every time you encounter an enemy stronger than yourself.” Chu Mu was unmoved by the Little Thunder Dragon’s cry for help.
Before the Fifth Rank, Chu Mu could slowly raise the Little Thunder Dragon and let it fight in a completely safe environment. But after the Fifth Rank, Chu Mu had to let the Little Thunder Dragon experience real battles. If he continued to nurture it using indulgence and protection, it would be no match for an opponent of the same strength without having experienced real combat.
“Shasha shasha~~~~~~~”
The Little Thunder Dragon let out a grievance, flapping its wings with difficulty and flying around the mountains and cliffs…
“Don’t stop; if you stop, you’ll be within their attack range. If you get attacked, your life will be in danger!” Chu Mu saw the Little Thunder Dragon wanting to stop and rest, and immediately scolded it sternly.
Just as its legs were about to land on the rock, the Little Thunder Dragon was scolded by Chu Mu and quickly retracted its legs, as if stepping on scorching hot stones. Its body staggered, almost crashing into the mountain’s stone wall.
With the Little Thunder Dragon’s wobble, the Six-winged Sky Demon Bugs behind it caught up!!
At the skull of the high-ranking Commander-level Six-winged Sky Demon Bug, numerous pitch-black burrowing bees suddenly appeared. After a shrill cry, these burrowing bees rushed out quickly, covering a distance of 100 meters and charging towards the swaying Little Thunder Dragon – another black corroded wound appearing on its waist.
“Quickly, fly ahead, they’re getting closer to you!” Chu Mu couldn’t let the Little Thunder Dragon stop.
The Little Thunder Dragon sensed the danger behind it, exerting its full strength, and no longer cared about the pain in its wings, desperately flapping them…
“When you were wobbling around, you should have realized that you had entered the enemy’s attack range. At that moment, you should have thought about dodging. That attack just now, you could have easily avoided it.” After Little Hiding Dragon flew out of the attack range, Chu Mu immediately began instilling battle concepts into it.
Only through such battles could Little Hiding Dragon truly develop a sense of battle. Otherwise, whenever it was attacked, it would foolishly jump next to Mo Xie, leisurely licking its claws and watching Little Mo Xie ravage its enemy, while it stayed uninvolved.
This time, Little Hiding Dragon also realized that its little caretaker was not by its side. Only in such truly dangerous situations could it truly remember the essentials of battle.
“Shasha~~~~~~~”
Like a little girl, Little Hiding Dragon let out a pitiful cry, telling Chu Mu that its strength had already reached its limit. In another minute, its flying speed would slow down, and it would be caught up by the three flies.
“Then fly for another minute.” Chu Mu said.
“Shasha~~~~~~~~~” Little Hiding Dragon experienced its master’s sternness for the first time. In the past, Chu Mu had been like a doting father, taking care of it so well that all it had to do was act coquettishly to get a treat. However, just after transforming to the Fifth Rank, the gentle old daddy had turned into a devil, constantly pushing and pushing with words…
“Hehe~~” Inside Chu Mu’s Soul Pet Space, the White Demon chuckled maliciously.
“Hmph~~” The Ice-Feathered Spirit stuck out its tongue, although in the past Ning had often been scolded by Chu Mu for panicking too easily, causing its spells to self-interrupt. But after the battle on Sky Crystal Peak, when its mistake caused Chu Mu to be injured in order to protect it, the Ice-Feathered Spirit gradually overcame that panic and was now able to cooperate well with Chu Mu’s various battle commands.
Zhan Ye lay in its comfortable nest, calmly observing Little Hiding Dragon’s situation through Chu Mu’s line of sight. In Zhan Ye’s view, this level of training was stress-free. Did getting hurt a little bit really merit so much fuss? It wasn’t even acting like a dragon anymore.
One minute passed quickly, and Little Hiding Dragon clenched its teeth and persevered.
However, the minute of flying did not create much distance between Little Hiding Dragon and its enemy. It purposefully looked back to see the big fly still following behind it, and once again emitted a cry for help to Chu Mu.
“You should think about how to defeat the enemy, not ask us to help you solve the problem. This is your fight,” said Chu Mu to Little Hiding Dragon.
Little Hiding Dragon complained that it had already flown for a minute and really had no more strength.
“Try flapping your wings with all your might,” said Chu Mu to Little Hiding Dragon.
“Shasha~” Little Hiding Dragon expressed that if it flapped its wings with full force, the wounds on its wings might tear open.
Little Hiding Dragon had been maintaining a half-flapping state the whole time, which was the main reason for its slow flying speed. With the natural advantage of a dragon’s wings, even if it was weaker than the enemy, it could still use its powerful wings to shake off the Sky Demon Worms.
“Give it a try,” Chu Mu continued.
Seeing Chu Mu’s persistence, Little Hiding Dragon reluctantly flapped its wings with full force!
“Whoosh!!!!!!!!”
With a full force flap, a powerful airflow immediately propelled Little Hiding Dragon forward by more than ten meters, pulling a small distance away from the Sky Demon Worm in an instant!
Even more importantly, Little Hiding Dragon did not feel any pain in its wings, let alone any tear in the wound.
Excited at heart, Little Hiding Dragon quickly continued to flap its wings at full force!!
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!!!”
With full power flapping, Little Hiding Dragon’s speed increased even more, and it soon pulled a thirty-meter distance from the Sky Demon Worms!!
Moreover, after pulling away from the enemy, Little Hiding Dragon heard the annoying Sky Demon Worms let out surprised and angry cries!
Seeing the enemy left behind, Little Hiding Dragon became even more excited. If its wings no longer hurt, how could these flies keep up with it?
Immediately, Little Hiding Dragon increased its speed even more. After opening a distance with the enemy, it adopted a gliding posture, alternating between flying and gliding, to proudly rest and recover.
“You have the bloodline of the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon flowing through you, and your body has a powerful self-healing ability. When I asked you to fly around the mountain peak and continue to persist, it was to wait for your wounds to heal on their own,” Chu Mu’s voice slowly drifted into Little Hiding Dragon’s mind.
“Awooo!!!!!!!!” Little Hiding Dragon howled excitedly, apparently fully understanding its master’s intentions!!
As long as its strength recovered slightly, the three Sky Demon Worms would be waiting to be killed!
