Dragon Tamer - C.417 - 419: Little Wild Jiao’s First Battle

Chapter 417: Chapter 419: Little Wild Jiao’s First Battle

“`

Little Black Dragon was simply the nemesis of these Lizard Water Monsters.

In terms of physical toughness, those claws of the Lizard Water Monsters couldn’t tear through Little Black Dragon’s sturdy hide; when their sharp teeth bit down on Little Black Dragon, the monsters’ own teeth would break first.

Regarding swimming skills, although Little Black Dragon couldn’t manipulate water and didn’t understand water-based Demon Arts, it was a champion swimmer. Even if the Lizard Water Monsters hid in the deep sludge of the pond, Little Black Dragon would twist them out and thrash them mercilessly.

The combat capability of an Ancient Dragon was imprinted in Little Black Dragon’s blood and bones; these foolish lizards without any combat skills were no match for Little Black Dragon.

The Black Dragon knew martial arts; there was simply no stopping it!

Ancient Dragon Warfare Qi, Ancient Dragon Warfare Skills, Ancient Dragon Blood Combat, Ancient Dragon Combat—this little Juvenile Dragon had already showcased a terrifying talent for battle.

It wasn’t that Little Black Dragon’s lineage was higher than that of the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon, but rather that against these big lizards, Little Black Dragon had an absolute advantage. The Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon could only handle them one at a time, while Little Black Dragon could slaughter them in groups. And the more it fought, the braver it became, with extraordinary stamina and endurance!

“ROAR!!!!!!!!”

With a mighty bellow, a huge fan-shaped crack suddenly appeared across several acres of connected ponds, and the intense sonic boom blasted the brains of that group of Lizard Water Monsters to pieces!!

Ancient Dragon Warfare Skills, Explosive Roar??

Zhu Minglang glanced at the ring of headless lizards, which seemed completely different from before.

This Explosive Roar did not merely tear through the air and the earth—it created a horrific sonic boom that blasted the heads of the attacking lizards to pieces!

Wasn’t the Sonic Boom Roar a skill of the Absolute Sea Hawk Emperor??

Little Black Dragon had eaten Hawk Emperor Meat, and even the power of its roar had special effects!!

“Zhu Minglang, is this really a Juvenile Dragon??” Hong Hao said incredulously as he looked at the pond where the Lizard Water Monsters’ heads had been blasted to bits.

Zhu Minglang nodded.

“Did you have some sort of fortuitous encounter? Why are your dragons so fierce that, even without passing through three growth periods, they seem more powerful than ours?” Hong Hao asked.

“Holy Dragons, Black Dragons—they are all high-lineage dragons. Some people might just be the bastards of Lady Luck; otherwise, how could they just stumble upon a Female Monarch for a wife?” Chen Bai’s words were dripping with sour jealousy.

“What’s the point of saying that? Look at the little Juvenile Spirit by Zhu Minglang’s side; it looks ordinary too. A great Dragon Shepherd is one who can manage their dragon pets well,” Nan Ye said.

“Indeed, I’ve also exchanged ideas with some people from the Dragon Taming High Court recently. They seem to have a lot of planning. For example, given the number of Spirit Contracts they have, for the first one or two contracts they’ll choose dragons that consume fewer resources but have growth advantages. That way, they can get ahead of others and secure more resources. Once they have saved enough and have a solid foundation, they’ll then consider dragons with higher lineage and greater resource consumption, ensuring that they have greater breakthroughs in their future development…” Lu Wenye spoke very seriously.

She was constantly learning and seeking advice from those outstanding students.

Eventually, she found that these Dragon Shepherd Seniors with humble origins but strong capabilities had very clear strategies and strict plans for themselves; they were also very clear about each step they should take.

Unlike their Dragon Shepherd Students, who just went with the flow, addressed problems only as they arose, and when faced with bottlenecks, were clueless and resigned to fate, wasting time waiting for so-called opportunities, and envied others for their “good luck” when they made a breakthrough.

In Lu Wenye’s eyes, Zhu Minglang was someone who planned their Dragon Shepherd career with extreme precision.

“By the way, Zhu Minglang, where’s your Bai Qi?” Nan Ye suddenly thought of this.

From the beginning of their encounter with Zhu Minglang to now, they hadn’t seen Zhu Minglang’s Main Dragon, Bai Qi.

That extraordinarily stunning and noble White Dragon.

With a lineage like Bai Qi’s, and if cultivated well, there was definitely hope to reach Monarch Level.

Even though each of them wished for a high-lineage dragon, which could help them break through to higher realms, they’d frankly struggle to raise one even if it were given to them now.

Food, spirit resources, including nourishment from the Spirit Realm, in all these aspects it was inferior to others; even a dragon with a high bloodline potential might be halted at the Dragon Lord Level, not to mention dreaming of reaching the Monarch Level…

Dragons with larger growth spaces meant that they required an even greater consumption of resources in the early stages.

For instance, the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon that shone so brightly at the academy under Zhu Minglang.

Heaven knows what sort of Immortal Dew that Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon has been drinking; otherwise how could it be that, with lower-level sovereign cultivation, it defeated a Peak dragon!

“Bai Qi is in the hibernation phase,” Zhu Minglang said.

He had almost forgotten that these guys were all his old classmates, and they all knew about Bai Qi and Big Black Tooth.

Now that Big Black Tooth had turned into the Little Black Dragon, they didn’t recognize it and thought Zhu Minglang had obtained a young dragon with higher bloodline potential.

“Isn’t hibernating a sign of a breakthrough? Don’t tell me your Bai Qi is going to reach the Monarch Level?” Nan Ye asked with extreme curiosity.

Ever since Nan Ye learned about Zhu Minglang having a relationship with his sister Nan Lingsha, he didn’t dare to show any disrespect or offense towards this mysterious brother-in-law; he was always extremely respectful whenever he saw him.

Zhu Minglang just smiled and did not answer.

This was the time to pretend to be unfathomably profound.

Monarch Level?

That seemed highly unlikely.

If Qing Zhuo and Big Black Tooth, these two dragons, had already undergone Reincarnation Transformations to such a high level of bloodline, then Bai Qi would likely be even more exaggerated.

After all, in the Reincarnation Transformation, it was the leading force.

“Zhu Minglang, Zhu Minglang, your Little Wild Jiao is fighting with the Lizard Water Monster,” Lu Wenye said a bit nervously at this moment.

The others had already dispatched their own dragons to deal with the Lizard Water Demons hiding in the mud ponds around them.

This place was close to the town, also used for fish farming by the local farmers; who knows, in a few days, after finishing off these fat fish, they might break into the village… so they had to be exterminated completely and not allowed to occupy the area…

The other dragons were all mightily fierce, basically one dragon against more than a dozen Lizard Water Monsters.

But for the Little Wild Jiao, which had not yet transformed into a dragon, Lizard Water Monsters were still spry Demon Spirits that had lived for several hundred years; it was clearly struggling against them.

It was a Lizard Water Monster with four hundred years of cultivation, about three to four meters in size, as formidable as a grown crocodile.

The Little Wild Jiao was prepared for battle, staying close to the edge of the fish pond, partly submerged in the water, and kept sliding about.

The Four Hundred Years Old Lizard Water Demon seemed to notice that the Little Wild Jiao was full of spirit and that eating it would increase its cultivation by a hundred or two hundred years, so it sneakily approached the roadside to target the Little Wild Jiao as its food.

Zhu Minglang had seen this scene a while ago.

However, the Little Wild Jiao didn’t ask for help, making it clear that it wanted to fight this Demon Spirit on its own.

But after all, the Little Wild Jiao was just a Little Jiao Baby; unlike Qing Zhuo and Big Black Tooth, it didn’t inherit the former’s battle instincts and combat experience.

This was its first battle since it was born.

You could tell that while it was unyielding, it was also somewhat nervous.
