Chapter 268: Giant Peng in the Sky
Trial space.
A plateau of power, surrounded by the sea.
The northern strait is arc-shaped, like a huge bow.
The Liegong Strait is hundreds of miles wide, and on the other side is the Dragon Kingdom.
On weekdays, a thick fog with magical powers fills the sky above the strait.
Anyone who enters the fog will immediately lose their way.
No matter which method you use to navigate, when you finally get out of the fog, you will always find yourself back at the starting point.
The foggy area is actually a magical barrier that separates the Plateau of Power from the Kingdom of Dragons, forcibly preventing a conflict between the two arch-enemies, the Dragons and the Giants.
Only one day a year does the fog lift over the strait.
The dragons always seize this opportunity, flying across the Bowhunter Strait in groups, invading the Power Plateau, and showing off their strength and courage by hunting giants.
The giants, wouldn't they want to take the opportunity to march into the kingdom of dragons?
Unfortunately, except for the storm giants and cloud giants, other giant groups do not have the ability to fly and cannot cross the strait.
In the end, in this annual killing festival, the giants could only passively take a defensive stance.
A loud alarm was heard from the temple in the clouds.
At the same time, a large group of dragons appeared above the sea.
This expeditionary force to the plateau is composed of five hundred giant dragons.
There are five colored dragons, each with hundreds of heads.
Juvenile dragons and young dragons are the mainstream of the expeditionary force, and their strength is equivalent to that of fourth- to fifth-level dragon vein sorcerers.
The officers of each dragon clan are all adult dragons, and their strength is comparable to that of a sixth-level dragon vein sorcerer.
Among the dragon group, there are also five trial-takers who have activated their ancestral form.
They are all dragon vein sorcerers and come from the North Island Federation.
The leading red dragon warlock was Phoebus.
Since participating in the trial, he has made great progress and his cultivation level was advanced to the late sixth level not long ago.
In terms of rank alone, Phoebus ranks among the top three among all trial-takers.
Currently, only "White Tiger Martial Lord" Shiva and "Spider Queen" Caroline are on the same level as him.
Shiva is the abbot of the Silver Moon Monastery.
Caroline is the Pope of the Beast Cult.
And he, Phoebus, was just a street kid.
It was all thanks to my talent and the opportunities I gained through hard work, and more than twenty years of hard training in a secret realm on the verge of collapse, that I have achieved what I have today. I am proud of this!
But Phoebus was not satisfied.
His ambition expanded rapidly as his strength increased!
He believed that he was born to be the best, to step on all his competitors and stand alone at the top!
In the past, he had talent but lacked opportunities.
He had to curry favor with the young lady from an aristocratic family in order to obtain money and training resources, and get a letter of recommendation to enter the Warlock Academy for further studies.
It’s a pity that not all beautiful, rich and white girls are as naive as Renee.
Phoebus' second girlfriend, Lyda, is more realistic than him.
In order to get close to Cliff, he decisively abandoned the poor boy Phoebus.
And when Phoebus returned from the secret realm and killed Cliff in front of her, Lydia did not hesitate and returned to the arms of her ex-boyfriend.
There is nothing wrong with changing with the times.
However, everything is afraid of comparison.
For a man like Phoebus, what he can't get is the best.
This woman, Lida, is too weak and she kneels too quickly.
Conquest is too easy and lacks aftertaste, so he will inevitably look down on it.
On the contrary, Renee actually ignored his ex-boyfriend who had risen to fame, and was devoted to guarding Alan.
Phoebus was so angry that his teeth itched, but at the same time, he also felt a strong desire to conquer.
If Origin City hadn't banned internal strife, he would have wanted to kill Allen and take back Renee long ago!
Of course, Phoebus also knew that Alan was no pushover.
The beating he received from Allen had left him with a psychological trauma.
But things are different now!
The Origin City Trial gave Phoebus a platform to realize his talent.
A true genius is someone who can complete transformation and stand out in the fierce competition!
Phoebus had a vague feeling.
Today's battle between dragons and giants is a godsend opportunity for me to complete my transformation and stand out!
Boom! !
Thunder suddenly exploded overhead, interrupting Phoebus's reverie.
The flock of flying dragons were frightened by the thunder and looked up.
The originally clear sky suddenly changed into dark clouds.
The strong winds stirred up the waves, and heavy rain poured down!
The weather changed so quickly without any warning.
This was clearly not a naturally occurring storm.
Storm giants, are they finally taking action?
Dragons know their enemies well.
Being able to change the weather quickly and on a large scale, creating violent storms out of thin air, can only be the 7th-ring magic "Weather Control".
It is conceivable that the priests of the Cloud Temple must have discovered the dragons' attack and joined forces to perform this method to block the airspace.
The storm became more and more violent, and the sea and sky became dark.
In such extremely bad weather, the dragon's flying ability is greatly limited.
It was hard enough to fly in the storm.
What’s even more terrible is the dense dark clouds above our heads, with constant flashes of lightning.
If you fly too high, close to thunderclouds, you may be struck by lightning!
Except for the blue dragon which is naturally resistant to electric shock, other dragons dare not challenge the power of nature with their flesh and blood!
If struck by thunder, even a dragon as strong as it is would not be able to withstand it.
The sixth-level elders in the dragon group roared one after another.
Remind young compatriots to follow me, lower their flying altitude and land on the coast as soon as possible.
Although a large group of fully armed giant warriors had already lined up along the coast, ready for battle.
But fighting a giant is better than being struck by lightning for nothing.
The adult dragon's concerns soon became a reality.
Thunder roared in the air again.
Then a huge shadow floated over, covering the dragons below.
The young dragons couldn't help but panic and become agitated!
In the dark clouds, the silhouette of the giant blue roc was looming.
From beginning to end, it is sixty meters long!
The wings spread out, blocking the clouds, with a wingspan of no less than a hundred meters!
What kind of monster is that, it is so huge!
Compared to it, the dragon looks like a fledgling that has not fully grown its feathers.
What shocked the dragons even more was that this giant bird was not only huge in size, but was completely unaffected by the violent air currents at high altitudes and flew fast and steadily.
In the blink of an eye, it caught up and let out a thrilling long cry above the heads of the dragons!
The cry of the roc brings a thunderstorm down from the sky!
Lightning flashed like rain, crackling down.
Each thick pillar of lightning hit the dragon's back accurately.
What followed was lightning flashing, scales flying, flesh charring, and miserable wails...
Storms further enhance the lethality of lightning.
Although the lives of the dragons who were hit were not in danger, they were seriously injured.
A greater blow than physical pain comes from psychological deterrence.
Normal people would feel fear when faced with an unknown and huge monster.
The fear of the unknown giant is not limited to humans.
The same goes for the dragon clan.
How does the chick feel when it sees the eagle?
At this moment, the dragons had the same mentality.
The dragon army, which had been arranged in a dense formation, was frightened by the Sky Peng and scattered, each fighting on their own.
"Damn it! Where did this giant bird come from? I've never heard of such a giant before?!"
Penny, the white dragon warlock, screamed in frustration.
"That monster doesn't look like a giant."
The blue dragon warlock Aslan looked up at the giant roc with a serious look in his eyes.
"What do you think? Is there a possibility that the monster is actually a trial participant who has joined the giant camp?"
Aslan's speculation caused a commotion.
The dragon vein sorcerers instinctively wanted to deny this possibility.
This is not a conclusion based on rational analysis.
It's just that subconsciously, they don't want such a powerful competitor to exist.
However, there is no use lying to yourself.
Calm down and think about it. Aslan’s guess... might be the truth!
"The question is, which trial participant has such terrifying strength that can shock a group of dragons?"
Green dragon warlock Cohen asked questions along the lines of Aslan's thoughts.
"The strength of that giant bird cannot possibly be lower than level six!"
The black dragon warlock Dudar took over the conversation.
"Caroline or Shiva... I can't think of any other possibilities besides them."
"Spider Queen, this is not your fighting style."
Aslan knew his future mother-in-law quite well.
"But if the giant bird's true form is White Tiger Martial Lord...it doesn't look like it!"
"What's the point of you guessing?"
Phoebus interrupted the discussion coldly.
"Don't worry about whether that big bird is a trial participant or not. Since he is our enemy, he must die!"
"Aslan, you are of blue dragon blood. You are not afraid of electric shocks. You have also awakened 'freedom of movement', so your flight is not affected by storms."
"You fly high into the sky and pin down the big bird. I will follow in stealth mode and find an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to it!"
Aslan was a nobleman after all, and he didn't like Phoebus's arrogant tone, which treated him like a servant.
But to be fair, Phoebus's proposal also has its merits.
Just as he was weighing the pros and cons, a mental wave suddenly came to his mind.
This was the first time that Aslan had come across this kind of communication magic without a light ball appearing out of thin air.
While reading the letter, I was wondering how the other party did it.
"Aslan, what are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and do it!"
Phoebus urged impatiently.
Aslan looked up, his eyes flickering slightly.
"Excuse me, Mr. Phoebus, but I don't approve of your plan."
"Huh? What do you mean!" Phoebus' face darkened.
"We have two purposes for this trip."
Aslan said calmly.
"First, hunt down the giants, refine them into soul jade, bring them back to the Dragon Palace for sacrifice, and improve your own strength."
"Secondly, we need to find a chance to sneak into the Giant Temple and destroy the Titan Colossus!"
There are two ways to grow as a Dragon Vein Warlock.
One is the sorcerer's way of practice, reverting to ancestral meditation and improving one's rank.
The second is the way of a true dragon, which automatically gains all-round enhancement as it grows older.
As a warlock, Aslan's strength is comparable to that of an adult blue dragon.
But as a dragon-veined creature, his age is only equivalent to that of a young dragon.
The same goes for other dragon vein sorcerers.
Normally, a dragon vein sorcerer cannot sleep for decades like a real dragon and then automatically upgrade when he wakes up.
However, by hunting giants, sealing souls, and sacrificing enough soul jades in the Dragon Palace, you can grow in age!
Growing from a "young dragon" to a "young dragon", the warlock rank remains unchanged, but various attributes and dragon scale armor are greatly improved!
It is equivalent to adding an extra elite template!
On this basis, if you can complete the second task and destroy the Titan, Dragon Palace will also issue additional rewards.
It is said that it is very likely a "third-stage anti-aging agent"!
After the injection, you will stay young and live longer... for a full 100 years!!
Who wouldn't be tempted by such a generous reward?
"Mr. Phoebus, the giant bird in the sky does not directly conflict with the two missions we are responsible for."
"I don't think it's worth wasting time here for him."
"What's more, if the other party is really a trial-taker and has a life-saving ring with him, it would be impossible for us to actually kill him."
"Why should we offend this person and add another powerful enemy?"
Cohen, Dudar and Penny all nodded, agreeing with Aslan's opinion.
Without waiting for Phoebus to speak, the four of them formed a team and entered the battlefield to hunt the giant.
Phoebus looked at their receding figures with a grim look in his eyes.
"My dear, Aslan and the others are clearly trying to exclude you."
Lida said with an indignant look on her face.
"I'm not blind, of course I can see it!"
Phoebus gnashed his teeth.
"This bunch of high-handed young men and women from aristocratic families look down on my background, are jealous of my talent, and teamed up to exclude me!"
"Just wait and see. Sooner or later they will kneel down at my feet like dogs and wag their tails and beg for mercy!"
Although Phoebus spoke harsh words, his actions were honest.
Without Aslan acting as a meat shield in front to block the lightning, he didn't want to fight alone against the giant bird of unknown origin in the sky.
Take Lida with you and rush to the Cloud Temple.
…
The blue roc floats in the thunderclouds.
Those deep and sharp eyes looked down at the dragons below.
Alan transformed into the Great Peng, which was blessed with "Giant Transformation" and "Freedom of Movement". Its size doubled and its flight was not affected by high-altitude wind pressure.
Its own reactance is enough to resist lightning caused by the collision of cumulonimbus clouds.
The severe weather with strong winds and heavy rain doubled the power of the 5th-ring magic "Summon Thunderstorm", and soon the dragons were scattered.
The purpose of Allen's trip is to stop the dragons, force them to land on the ground, and fight the giant army head-on.
Otherwise, the dragon army would have a firm grip on the air superiority, and most of the giants would only be beaten on the ground, so this battle would be impossible to fight.
After completing this mission, when the rewards are given after the war, he will have more confidence to ask for the essence of Titan blood!
As for the threat posed by the dragon vein sorcerers, it was temporarily alleviated after he communicated with Aslan.
Alan had a good impression of Aslan.
This young man is quite sensible. He understands that cooperation is beneficial to both sides, while fighting will hurt both sides.
Of course, it is not ruled out that Aslan gave him face for the sake of his sister-in-law Spanna.
At this time, a dragon roar came from below the clouds.
Allen's Behemoth bloodline comes with the "fog vision".
His sight penetrated the clouds and rain, and he saw a group of blue dragons flying towards him in the rain in the distance.
The leading blue dragon looked like an adult sixth-level dragon based on its size.
The four blue dragons following behind were slightly smaller in size and were all fifth-level young dragons.
It seems that the dragon clan has formed a special attack team with the mission of hunting down the Sky Peng.
This group of blue dragons have extremely high resistance to lightning.
They were also blessed with the 4th-ring magic "Freedom of Movement" and flew quickly in the storm, getting closer and closer to the airspace where Alan was.
Alan can win by fighting against a sixth-level blue dragon and four fifth-level blue dragons on his own, but it won't be easy.
Today's battle has just begun, and Allen doesn't want to consume too much magic power and physical energy now, which will affect subsequent operations.
Therefore, he did not intend to confront these evil dragons head-on.
The storm and thunder could not stop the dragon from approaching.
Fortunately, Alan is good at more than just wind and thunder.
He sneered to himself, folded his wings, and disappeared into the thick dark clouds.
The dragons chased after him, but there was no sight of Dapeng, and in front of them was an endless expanse of red clouds covering the sky.
From deep within the clouds, lightning would occasionally burst forth, giving the dark clouds a golden edge and briefly illuminating the sky.
After a brief hesitation, the dragons flew into the clouds one after another, chasing after the Dapeng.
Deep in the clouds, there was no sign of prey.
The dragons were so busy searching that they didn't notice that a huge cloud of mist had quietly floated in and enveloped them.
Three-phase phantom, steam form!
Alan transformed from a great roc in the sky into a gas state, merging perfectly with the high-altitude clouds and successfully deceiving the eyes of the blue dragons.
While the dragon was off guard, steam drifted over and suddenly erupted with a bitter cold current!
Swish!
A flash of white light and the temperature dropped sharply!
The five blue dragons were caught off guard and were instantly engulfed by the "Ice Soul Freezing Wave"!
The weaker young blue dragon was frozen into a ball of ice on the spot.
Like four pale blue meteorites, they fell involuntarily from a height of a thousand meters.
Level six blue dragon, with stronger resistance.
The moment he was frozen, he immediately struggled desperately!
Crackling, breaking through the hard ice layer that wrapped around the body!
He spread out a pair of stiff dragon wings and barely glided in the air.
At this moment, a large shadow suddenly fell over my head...
The blue dragon looked up in panic.
He was shocked to find that the blue-feathered giant roc that had mysteriously disappeared had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Breaking through the clouds, it swooped down towards him!
The blue dragon cried out in horror and flapped its wings desperately.
Like a sparrow trying to escape from the claws of an eagle.
However, the wings were almost frozen and could not support high-speed flight.
In the end, he was caught by a huge bird claw!
puff!
The Behemoth's armor-piercing claws, combined with bone-crushing explosions!
The blue dragon's head was crushed instantly.
At the moment of death, the blue dragon made a final counterattack.
Sprayed out a bloody lightning.
The last breath of dragon failed to penetrate Alan's resistance.
Only a few spots of scarlet were added to the gorgeous feathers of the Great Peng in the sky, as if they were plum blossoms painted with dragon blood as ink.

…
The great roc in the sky, its beak dyed red by dragon blood.
A bone spur popped out from his left claw, extracting the essence of the blue dragon's blood.
Between the fingers of his right claw, there was a shining magic stone.
Alan whispered the spell and sealed the dragon soul with the magic stone.
Abandoning the dragon corpse that had been drained of all its value, it spread its wings and dived down.
Four level five blue dragons that were frozen into ice fell from a high altitude, creating four conspicuous large holes on the beach.
The impact of the fall shattered the ice shell and broke the blue dragon's spine.
Paralyzed in the deep pit, he let out urgent roars in pain, trying to call for his companions to come and rescue him.
A huge shadow fell over their heads, crushing the blue dragons' hopes of survival.
The cries for help all turned into wails of despair.
There was no mercy in Alan's heart.
When it was about to land, it transformed into a giant beast and jumped down from a height of a hundred feet.
The giant beast tramples!
boom!!
The earth shook and mud and sand flew!
The waves that had just hit the beach were also forced back by the shock waves caused by the giant beast's trampling, as if they had hit an invisible reef head-on.
The four blue dragons were all trampled to pieces.
Alan held a magic stone in each hand and chanted a spell to absorb the dragon soul.
Five blue dragons just fill up two magic stones and transform into saturated soul jade.
Alan put away the Soul Jade with satisfaction, turned and walked towards the melee area across the beach to select the next "lucky guy".
…
Boom! !
Amidst the thunder, the dragon fell.
The arrogant sixth-order red dragon collapsed on the plateau.
Electricity flashed and crackled all over his body.
It was like countless shining poisonous snakes, tearing apart the dragon scales and frantically gnawing at his flesh and blood.
The red dragon that was electrocuted twitched and struggled, with unwillingness in its eyes.
Until a ferocious giant foot suddenly trampled down.
Phew!
The red dragon's head was crushed on the spot.
His body trembled, and then he stopped struggling.
A stream of urine flowed out uncontrollably from his crotch.
The giant beast Allen covered his nose, feeling very unhappy about the smell of urine emitted by the dying red dragon due to its incontinence.
"A dignified sixth-rank red dragon actually peed himself in fear. How useless!"
Moving his feet, Alan bent down, grabbed the red dragon's neck, and dragged it up from the ground.
He turned around, walked to the beach, and rinsed himself in the water.
After washing, they cut open the dragon's stomach, drank the dragon's blood and swallowed the dragon's heart.
As for the remaining dragon meat, even though it doesn’t smell like urine, it still makes me feel sick, so I won’t eat it…
There are fresh ingredients everywhere anyway, so it doesn’t matter if you have one.

…
Behemoth Allen, close the system panel.
He freed his hands, picked up the Fire Demon Stone, and absorbed the soul of the red dragon.
Just saturated, it transforms into a fiery red soul jade.
It was almost dusk.
The battle between dragons and giants is still going on.
When the sun sets and the fog reappears over the strait, the dragon invaders will retreat the same way they came, marking the end of this melee.
Allen has accumulated ten soul jades in his storage bag.
The five-colored dragon clan, all of whom are equally blessed, have two soul jades.
Alan intentionally hunted all kinds of dragons equally.
According to the information provided by Fengyue, only by collecting all five-colored dragon soul jades can you have a chance to obtain the Titan inheritance.
The more you accumulate, the higher the quality, and the greater the chance of obtaining silver or even gold Titan bloodline.
In addition, Alan also wanted to take the opportunity to verify one thing.
Before today, he had eaten green dragon, black dragon and white dragon.
However, they are not real dragons with legitimate bloodlines.
They are all dragon vein sorcerers who have reverted to their original form and become possessed by demons.
Alan wanted to verify whether the same type of real dragons and possessed dragon vein sorcerers could be considered the same kind of food?
The result disappointed him a little.
Having eaten the enchanted sorcerer, eating a real dragon of the same kind did not bring him any benefits.
So far, Alan has tasted the flesh and blood of all five colors of dragons.
If you want to continue to exploit the dragon clan and obtain special ingredients in the future, you can only start with the metal dragon clan or other rarer dragon clans.
It’s a pity that apart from the five-colored dragons, there seems to be no other types of dragons in the trial space.
Alan touched his stomach and sighed regretfully.
I haven't had enough yet...
He turned around and looked at the cloud giant general Norman who was fighting a dragon in the distance.
Alan licked his lips, his eyes flickering.
Before obtaining the essence of Titan blood, you must be loyal to the giant camp and must not do anything that harms the interests of the giants.
If there weren't such a restriction, I would really like to defect and harvest fresh ingredients from various giants.
Norman swung his giant sword and chopped down a fifth-level red dragon.
Just as I breathed a sigh of relief, I noticed the malicious gaze of Behemoth.
Norman shuddered and turned around and ran!
While running away, he was still madly complaining in his mind: "Shameless boy, you call this the bloodline of the storm giant?!"
Allen's performance in this melee was amazing!
Not only were the dragons frightened and fled when they saw him from afar, but the giants were also frightened by his form as a sky roc and a giant beast, and avoided him as much as possible!
"Strange, why are you hiding from me?"
Alan shook his head in confusion .
"I don't eat people, what do I have to be afraid of? Racial discrimination?"
"Um... sorry, I think I really ate it."
At this time, an alarm sounded again from the Cloud Temple.
The urgent sound of the trumpet indicated that the temple was being invaded by foreign enemies!
