The game has become a real alternate world-Chapter 949 - 631: Thunderstruck Zone
On the continent of Tarir, a painful howl resounded.
A silver metal chain's sharp tip slowly retracted, stained with filthy blood. As the chain gently shook, the blood scattered and dispersed.
In front of the chain, there was a massive monster. Its appearance seemed like a fusion of various monsters, giving off an extremely discordant feeling.
With a horrific scream, the monster fell to the ground, its body intermittently discharging electricity.
Around it, quite a few trees had already collapsed, with many traces of lightning strikes visible on the trunks.
The characteristics of these trees were peculiar; after being struck by lightning, only the bark appeared blackened without igniting or becoming charred like ordinary trees.
Only when Bugreit retracted the chain did he realize that what he had just attacked was, in fact, the tail of an Alchemy Giant Dragon.
Bugreit shook his body, trying to dispel the numb sensation throughout.
"Though I appear to be made of metal, this is no ordinary metal," he murmured to himself, then spread his wings and leapt into the air.
The metallic parts of his body mixed, shrank, and condensed, quickly transforming again into a leopard, which lightly landed on the ground.
He glided over the monster's corpse, continuing to rush forward.
At this moment, Bugreit continued toward his destination, feeling that he was about to reach it. The influence of Dragon Power was becoming increasingly evident in this environment, altering not only the monsters but also imparting the trees and plants with electric attributes.
Perhaps because Dragon Power was interacting and muddling here, the surrounding monsters were no longer frenzied and bloodthirsty like those outside.
They began to behave more like normal creatures, possessing fear, wisdom, and even the ability to think.
The monsters began to understand territorial concepts; as long as Bugreit did not trespass into the territories of stronger monsters, the Dragon Might he exuded would instill fear in the weaker creatures, preventing them from attacking.
Bugreit had been on this continent for a long time and finally felt a sense of returning to his dragon identity.
Ahead, the plants and trees thinned, with numerous rocks jutting out from the ground in heaps. A gigantic cave entrance appeared before him, undoubtedly the source of the powerful energy lay inside this massive cave.
From within the cave also emanated an indistinct sense of intimidation.
"Alright, it seems there's indeed a big fellow inside." Bugreit said, stepping quickly into the cave.
Upon entering the large cave entrance, Bugreit immediately sensed the pervasive electricity in the air.
Even in the pitch-black cave, bright arcs of lightning were visible intermittently in the air.
The mere collision of Thunder Magic Power saturating the air caused such phenomena, indicating that the energy inside was so abundant and extremely pure.
"Good thing Kana advanced, otherwise I really wouldn't dare come in here."
After reaching the next level, the Alchemy Metal on Bugreit's body had long turned into the silver metal created and controlled by Kana.
This metal seemed ordinary, but at its core was the power created by Kana. Otherwise, upon entering, Bugreit might have encountered internal issues, making it difficult to move a step.
On the walls of the cave entrance, black lightning patterns could be seen. These patterns seemed to have formed ancient runes imbued with magic power.
This was a phenomenon caused by overly abundant Magic Power, and these patterns naturally formed signs symbolizing the Dragon Race.
"Well, it looks like I didn't make a mistake, and it also proves that what Kana said indeed exists." To be honest, at the moment before entering the cave entrance, Bugreit still harbored a bit of doubt about what Kana said about the residual dragon blood.
Bugreit continued walking deeper into the cave. Along the way, he encountered no monsters and never reached an end, just sensing a downward slope beneath his feet.
Following the downward path, Bugreit entered a vast underground space.
"This place isn't suitable for a giant dragon to showcase its prowess." Bugreit mumbled to himself; here, there was no way to spread his wings and soar freely.
The entire underground cave looked extremely vast yet barren, with no plants surviving.
Arcs of lightning occasionally illuminated the surroundings, seeming never to cease, only appearing in different locations. Using these arcs, Bugreit could clearly observe the entire space.
A pair of gigantic lantern-like eyes flickered in the darkness. When the eyes opened, the air was filled with dense crackling sounds, and it seemed that upon opening the eyes, the magic energy in the air became active.
The flickering lightning illuminated the monster's body. It was a creature whose form was almost identical to that of a giant dragon, with azure scales, sharp dragon horns, a slender dragon head, and a powerful dragon tail, looking like a blue giant dragon, indistinguishable from the real thing.
"Give you a few more hundred years here, and you might really become a Giant Dragon Subspecies." Bugreit remarked as he observed.
To directly become a Star Realm Giant Dragon was obviously impossible. However, a Giant Dragon Subspecies, in a certain sense, could be considered a type of giant dragon, just without the Star Realm Giant Dragon's inheritance.
Giant Dragon Subspecies have their own inheritance and are almost the closest dragon to the Star Realm Giant Dragon's lineage, much closer than those true sub-dragon species and flying dragon species.
"A little silver metal creature? Get out; this is no place for you," said the Giant Dragon Subspecies, to which Bugreit was unsurprised.
"You've sensed something, right? You're guarding something, and you know that it's not something you can use; just guarding beside it and deriving power from it is enough." As he spoke, the silver leopard transformed back into the Alchemy Giant Dragon, emitting a subtle Dragon Might outward.
"…Dragon? I thought you wouldn't find this place. After all, for thousands of years, you've flown overhead time and again without ever noticing here." The words of the Giant Dragon Subspecies carried a note of sarcasm.
Bugreit could not refute this; without Kana's explicit reminder, even if he flew overhead, he wouldn't spare this area a second glance.
"So your guarding ends here; now leave with the power you've gained and go freely roam. Leave that thing to me to safeguard." Bugreit's tone was calm yet undeniably assertive.
The Giant Dragon Subspecies said nothing, merely cocking its head to scrutinize Bugreit.
"You no longer have a body, only a dragon's soul. How do you plan to acquire it like this? Even if you obtained it, you couldn't use it, and you might not even protect it. Clearly, I cannot easily relinquish it to you."
With these words, the arcs of lightning continued to flash densely, the crackling sounds unending.
"I knew it, resolving this won't be possible without a fight." With those words, Bugreit charged forward fiercely.
