Chapter 872? Ancient Shadow Dragon(1/2)
Sean then signaled them to take the initiative to let in some of the Twisted Nightmares and hand them over to the rapidly growing number of ant soldiers to fight the city defense battle in the original nest.
Sean's transformation of the original nest was comprehensive.
The mage tower is just one of the core points.
During the construction of the mage tower, the ant soldiers who were born from the first queen ant were not idle either.
Although they are not as good at controlling the power of the World Tree as the Life Sacrifice, they are good at digging holes.
Sean's ultimate goal is to empty out the original nest and turn it into a veritable battle fortress.
Once they enter the narrow passage, the combat effectiveness of those flying nightmares will be greatly reduced.
Actual combat further verified this.
Here, the Flying Nightmare's flying ability is not only greatly reduced, but its numerical advantage is also limited.
No matter how many twisted nightmares there are, they will be blocked outside and become the star-raising experience for those elite ant guards who stick here.
This tug of war lasted for two days and two nights.
Eight armies of twisted nightmares joined in the siege of the initial lair, each army numbering no less than tens of thousands.
The last branch is particularly large, being the sum of the first seven branches.
The leader is no longer a shadow general, but a shadow mastermind.
People are still divided into three grades!
The Shadow Mastermind is no exception.
Compared with the surrounding shadow masterminds, the two shadow masterminds that Sean killed outside the Emerald City and in the original lair were really as shabby as they could be.
The difference is as great as a baron in a remote country and a duke with an army.
Not only does this shadow mastermind have an army of hundreds of thousands of twisted nightmares, his individual strength is also extremely terrifying, and he appears in the form of a giant dragon - an ancient shadow dragon wrapped in shadow energy.
Compared with this, the size of the Bright Golden Crane and the Bright Mantis immediately shrank a lot, turning into inconspicuous little peas.
This ancient shadow dragon is guarded by two teams of twisted nightmares with special shapes. They are like a combination of flying birds and flying dragons, and are about the same size as a bright golden crane.
Sean recognized them at a glance. The appearance of these shadow flying dragons looked very different from the bright golden cranes.
In fact, they are all basically the same, they all evolved from the giant shadow bird that hunted Sean before.
It's just that the reasons for upgrading and evolving are different.
Judging from the appearance, these shadow dragons must have a direct relationship with the ancient shadow dragons, perhaps because they directly received the power given by the other party.
This is the special ability given to Sean by the Law of Life Rune, which allows him to trace the origins of these creatures.
Against the ancient shadow dragon, the Golden Crane of Light, they naturally had no way to carry out beheading tactics like before.
Instead, use the fastest speed to retreat to the edge of the city shield of the original nest. You can retreat to the city shield at any time to find shelter to prevent being decapitated by the opponent.
Not only did the ancient shadow dragon not use this move, but as the twisted nightmare army led by him appeared, even the twisted nightmares that had already invaded the original lair all withdrew and formed an array behind the ancient shadow dragon.
, appears neat and orderly.
It is precisely because of this that Sean takes a high regard for this ancient shadow dragon, because the opponent's current posture is obviously to talk first before fighting.
What's more terrifying than twisted nightmares are those twisted nightmares with minds.
The ancient shadow dragon gently fanned its dragon wings, and then appeared outside the city protective shield of the original lair, hovering there, an overwhelming coercion spread, and a majestic low whistle resounded through the sky, "Submit or
die!"
There are hundreds of thousands of twisted nightmares as the background, coupled with his huge size and natural dragon power.
The ancient shadow dragon vividly interprets its might and domineering power.
I believe that most shadow creatures cannot muster the courage to resist in front of it and kneel down to beg for surrender.
Sean didn't even show up, and answered silently to this ancient shadow dragon that seemed to have a mind of its own.
Because there is absolutely no room for relaxation between the two parties - what is there to talk about life and death?
Even like the Golden Crane of Light and the First Ant Queen, they cannot change their camp.
This kind of thing that steps on the boundary between life and death is the privilege of those who have entities.
Neither Twisted Nightmare nor Sean have it.
The former is composed of pure shadow energy, and the only result of allowing large-scale shadow energy to enter one's body is destruction.
The same is true for Sean, because his body is not in this plane, and the body of law as his direct carrier is entirely composed of positive energy.
This is probably why Goddess Abigail felt relieved to hand over the task to him. He could only advance in Abigail's plane, not retreat.
"Kill them!" The ancient shadow dragon was furious when he received no response. With a command, the twisted nightmare behind him rushed up like a tide.
Bang!
Countless tiny crashes merged into a terrifying sound wave.
The twisted nightmare army of the ancient shadow dragon collided with an emerald green halo barrier.
The sniper attacks by the Bright Golden Crane and the Bright Mantis were still effective to a certain extent. At least the city shield of the final lair was rebuilt, and the mage tower was no longer directly exposed to the attack of the nightmare army.
The twisted nightmare that came into close contact with the city's protective shield basically didn't even have a chance to scream, and was vaporized on the spot.
But there are enough twisted nightmares under the command of the ancient shadow dragon. They are like moths flying into the flame, rushing one after another, fearless of death.
When the number of moths is large enough, some of them will be burned to death by the bonfire, and the same bonfire may also be extinguished by their corpses.
The current situation of the original nest clearly belongs to the latter.
The strength of the city's protective shield is directly related to its territory, because it is related to the light of life provided by the World Tree per unit time.
If it were just the attack from the Twisted Nightmare army itself, the city's protective shield in the initial nest would barely be able to hold on for a while.
However, the ancient shadow dragon was obviously not satisfied with the attacking speed of his subordinates, so he stepped off the field and launched the attack himself.
Destruction Dragon Breath.
A flaming dragon's breath spurted out.
It's just that the color of this dragon's breath is not fiery red, but is composed of the purest power of destruction, showing a deep gray tone.
The ancient shadow dragon doesn't care much about the life and death of ordinary twisted nightmares, and the dragon's breath of destruction passes directly through their bodies.
To these twisted nightmares, Dragon's Breath of Destruction is as good as the Light of Life to the original Queen Ant.
If they absorb a small amount, they will transform and mutate, and their strength will increase dramatically.
If the amount is too large and far exceeds their body load, it will burst them and ignite them.
Wherever the Destruction Dragon Breath passed, a very strange pattern appeared.
Not only did the twisted nightmares not dodge, but they rushed towards it excitedly. The twisted nightmares standing in the middle of the Destruction Dragon Breath let out bursts of excited screams, as if they were sprayed by the Destruction Dragon Breath.
of honor.
Those twisted nightmares are frantically absorbing the breath of the Destruction Dragon, and their body shape and appearance are changing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Their changes are not irregular mutations, but have a clear evolutionary direction.
Dragon wings, dragon horns, dragon body, dragon tail...
They are all moving in the direction of the dragon, at least the direction change of the small shadow flying dragon.
There are only differences between individuals.
Some transformed into dragon horns first, others formed dragon tails first, and some wings transformed into dragon wings first...
It is precisely because of this difference that they look so varied and weird.
However, there are very few who actually take the opportunity to transform into a small shadow flying dragon. Most of them are ignited by the flames of destruction during the transformation process of absorbing the breath of the destruction dragon, and fall into a raging burning, becoming the best accelerant for the breath of the destruction dragon.
.
There are also a small number of lucky people who are on the verge of the Destruction Dragon's Breath, absorb just the right amount of Destruction Dragon's Breath, and transform into smaller shadow flying dragons.
This transformation is obviously not limited to one's own strength and weakness, but also greatly improves one's IQ.
After these small shadow dragons completed their transformation, they no longer moved forward mindlessly. Instead, they turned around and flew to the personal guards led by the shadow dragons behind the ancient shadow dragon.
Obviously, they have now separated from the ranks of low-level cannon fodder and have been promoted to the ranks of high-level cannon fodder. Even consumables are high-end consumables.
The twisted nightmare that comes from the same source is like this, and the city's protective shield composed of its corresponding energy will not be much better.
Soon, thick and long holes were forcibly burned out by the Destruction Dragon Breath.
At this time, the shadow dragons following the ancient shadow dragon finally moved.
With a sharp neigh, he led the small shadow flying dragons behind him, took the lead through the large hole where the Destruction Dragon Breath was dissolved, and rushed towards the mage tower with great momentum.
Wave!
Half a minute after the city's protective shield was broken, it flashed as a whole and disappeared completely like a bubble.
The twisted nightmares that were blocked outside rushed forward crazily.
However, this flying charge only lasted for more than ten seconds. All the twisted nightmares, whether they were shadow dragons or locust nightmares, were spinning involuntarily and falling towards the ground.
To be continued...
