Chapter 1646 - 1234: The Second Opening_2

On the eighth day, the seal did not loosen.

On the ninth day, the seal remained unyielding.

By the tenth day, a massive rift once again spread across the universe, then the horde of Dragon Beasts surged forth anew!

"Stay alert and cautious! The enemy might have improved the Dragon Beasts. Do not underestimate them in any way!" Seated in the cockpit of a future combat aircraft and charging to the forefront, Long Yi shouted loudly on the public channel.

Probing the enemy’s reality was Long Yi’s mission, so after he finished shouting, he charged directly towards the enemy.

Before even making contact, Long Yi could clearly see that the Dragon Beasts at the forefront were significantly different than before; from a distance, they seemed even larger, but up close, he saw it was not an increase in size, but a notable change in their bone armor. The armor now covered more areas, even completely enveloping the joints. And where there should have been wings, only two solitary spikes remained, the beasts being propelled forward by arrays situated behind the spikes.

As expected! That damned Worm had improved the Dragon Beasts.

"All units, be advised, the Dragon Beasts up front have undergone special defense enhancements! Visually, their defensive strength appears to surpass the previous ones by twice, but their speed is significantly reduced." As Long Yi spoke, he activated the Light Cannon. The cannonfire hit the bone armor, causing some damage, but it was just a scratch for the thick armoring.

Meanwhile, behind those Heavy Dragon Beasts, a series of incredibly powerful Dragon Breaths sprayed forth! Such a strong Dragon Breath! Far more powerful than any before! Most importantly, those Dragon Breaths were actually White Dragon’s breaths! The future combat aircraft’s radar had long sensed the high energy, and Long Yi maneuvered with precise evasive actions, dodging all attacks, while a light cannon shot from the front pierced through a gap in the Heavy Dragon Beasts, hitting a Dragon Beast with gray-white skin behind them, blasting its skin right open.

Defenses so weak?

"Hehehe, how about that, Long Yi, are you surprised?" The voice of the Worm God once again emanated from within the rift.

"Surprised your mother! Playing with combined arms tactics? That’s child’s play to me!" Long Yi cursed directly. Clearly, the Worm God had learned from the last lesson, as just before the rift closed previously, Long Yi had used such tactics to turn the tide. Frontline Black Dragons and Red Dragons drew the fire, while the White Dragons at the rear used their long-range attacks and cumulative damage from Dragon Breath to finish enemies off.

Originally, Long Yi thought that battles between Dragon Clan members would involve all sorts of flashy moves flying everywhere, but in reality, for the Dragon Clan, the most powerful offensive moves turned out to still be Dragon Breath. Back when the Dragon Clan was cursed and sealed by the rules of the Human Realm, Long Yi thought that ’it was just Dragon Breath’. But now he realized, even when cursed and stripped of their powers and sealed by rules, being left with Dragon Breath as a means, firmly proved its dominance.

In actual Dragon Clan battles, using skills to probe the enemy is generally only used for testing. Once the probing is over, most Dragon Clan battles only follow two patterns: melee and Dragon Breath.

Having recognized the strength of the White Dragon’s Dragon Breath, the Worm God even developed the same tactic. And it seems to have gone even further than Long Yi! It not only produced White Dragons but also thoroughly reinforced the vanguard!

The Heavy Dragon Beasts in the front weren’t just about defense, they constantly spewed out mixed Dragon Breaths to attack. These mixed Dragon Breaths possess various Dragon Clan characteristics, and one can only imagine the consequences of being heavily hit by them.

"The opposing front line is tough; if only I had a team to flank with me..."

The first to spring into Long Yi’s mind was the Silver Dragon, with its formidable defense and extremely impressive speed. But Silver Dragons, possessing Divine Power, were stationed across various battlefields, needing to be alert at all times for the appearance of Divinized Dragon Beasts. After all, the emergence of a Divinized Dragon Beast generally signifies massive casualties.

If it were Long Yi himself flanking, amid the enemy’s heavy crossfire... it seems not entirely unfeasible!

The spirit of adventure flared in Long Yi’s heart. Venturing on his own wasn’t out of the question, but while he could create some chaos deep in enemy lines, he might not necessarily achieve concrete results. Who could go with me? First and foremost, they must be fast, agile enough, and capable of executing precise coordinated maneuvers with me.

Suddenly, a name surfaced in Long Yi’s mind, and he felt a thrill through his contract. Then he saw that hundreds of black dragons had unexpectedly appeared by his side!

The size of these black dragons wasn’t large, just a bit bigger than the future combat aircraft, and they were covered in black, shimmering with a metallic luster. Their appearance seemed to prioritize speed, but their sharp look did not suggest vulnerability.

Sharpness.

That was Long Yi’s first impression.

"Xiaoyou!"

Long Yi exclaimed in surprise.

In the blink of an eye, the hundred or so little dragons gathered together and transformed into a little girl in a black robe. She leaned up close to the cockpit, stared into Long Yi’s eyes, and then pouted, saying, "Just a Long Yi, and I thought it was someone important."

The Shadow Dragon was a Dragon Egg that Long Yi received from the Temple of the Dragon God. Theoretically, the Shadow Dragon is a branch of the Black Dragon, but it completely forgoes attacks like Dragon Breath and instead uses all its Dragon Power to strengthen itself. Since Dragon Power is constantly being generated, the strengthening is unceasing, so even when Xiaoyou was just a little dragon, her physical condition was already stronger than most of the Dragon Clan.

Latter on, Long Yi lifted the curse on her. Although in the Human Realm, various rules were suppressed, the physical strengthening was not, which set Xiaoyou on a different path from the other Dragon Clan.

Due to her personality, the pact Xiaoyou made with Long Yi was not a complete one, and Long Yi never commanded her to do anything. After Long Yi left the Human Realm, he immediately lost contact with Xiaoyou. Long Yi even asked Korey about Xiaoyou’s whereabouts, but Korey also said he had no idea.

And now, just as Long Yi was remembering her, she appeared!

"What a coincidence, you’re here too! Really, long time no see!" Long Yi greeted her with a smile. Although it wasn’t the best place for a reunion, he was still quite happy to see Xiaoyou again.

"Don’t you dare think I came especially to help you. I just couldn’t stand to see a certain dummy here at a loss!" Xiaoyou said with her lips pursed and head tilted up.

"Eh, alright, but..."

"Charge!"

Before Long Yi could finish his sentence, Xiaoyou had already transformed into a little dragon and shot out.

Long Yi immediately piloted the future fighter jet to follow suit, and to his surprise, Xiaoyou’s speed was astonishing. Even though the future fighter jet wasn’t at full throttle, it was still much faster than the average Dragon Clan member, yet Xiaoyou could keep pace with the jet!

"You take the left, I’ll take the right. Whoever kills fewer Dragon Beasts is the dummy!" Xiaoyou rolled a few times in the air and then darted through a gap between the Heavy Dragon Beasts at the front.

"Alright!"

Not to be outdone, Long Yi also dashed through another gap.

Once they broke through to the rear, Xiaoyou immediately split into over a dozen little dragons. The little dragons charged with incredible agility towards the grey-white Dragon Beasts that kept firing Dragon Breath at them, their wingtips as sharp as knife blades, easily slicing through the skin of the grey-white Dragon Beasts. In the blink of an eye, a Dragon Beast was shredded.

These shredded grey-white Dragon Beasts didn’t recover, nor did they turn to ash; instead, they immediately exploded into balls of fire, but by then, the little dragons had already scattered to safety.

"Future! Dragon Form!" Long Yi shouted.

Future immediately transformed into a large Silver Dragon, swinging both wings to perform the Dragon Wing Slash, killing two grey-white Dragon Beasts simultaneously.

"Hey, Xiaoyou, where have you been during this time, and how come there are so many of you?" Long Yi asked while fighting.

"Of course, I went somewhere to sleep, so I could become stronger," Xiaoyou said.

"Huh? That works?" Long Yi was flabbergasted.

"Of course not! That’s obviously a lie!" Xiaoyou said.
