Chapter 240 - Dragon Hawk Queen
The adult Dragon Hawk swooped in aggressively. The two of them heard a long, gentle growl coming from the sky just as they ran out of the woods. Then, they saw the dark clouds in the sky being torn apart by a streak of red light. The red light flashed through the tumultuous dark clouds. The brilliant feathers and swirling flames of the Dragon Hawk were almost arrogant…
As the Dragon Hawk charged out of the dark clouds, a gush of heat wave suddenly poured in.
“Run!” Lin Li saw a flashing red light the moment he looked up. He lunged himself into the mud almost subconsciously at the thought of the power of an adult Dragon Hawk.
“Boom!” An explosion followed.
The Dragon Hawk skimmed over the woods in an arrogant manner, and it was followed by a scorching dragon breath. The trees around it burned up and the mud on the ground evaporated instantly. When it came back, the land had turned into the color of scorched earth.
“F*ck…” Lin Li felt a rush from behind just when he had started to move his body. What was originally an agile movement became a slapstick in an instant—he slammed heavily into the mud like a toad. The pervasive smell of mud splattered all over him. Lin Li spent a while spitting out the stinky mud from his mouth. However, when he turned around, he was dumbfounded by what he saw…
A mere dragon breath attack had razed a few dozen meters of the woods into ground. It was a piece of dark brown scorched earth at a glance. The whole dense woods had vanished in the dragon breath, leaving only a scene of doomsday.
“Bloody hell…” Lin Li nearly kicked the hammer. “Are you kidding? Who isn’t afraid of the Wyrm now in Anril? If I could get the Wyrm to help me, I wouldn’t be here, wasting my time badgering with you, and would have made it kill that little red birdy long ago…”
“Be patient and listen to me… The Dragon Hawk’s fear of the Wyrm is different from that of other magical beasts. Ordinary magical beasts are afraid of their power. Where the Wyrm exists, there will not be any magical beast within a hundred miles’ radius. But the Dragon Hawk’s fear of Wyrm comes from the memory deep in the soul. Because they have the blood of wyrms themselves, this fear was probably engraved in their souls even before they were born. Just a howl from the wyrm, or even a slight hint of wyrm’s aura, is enough to drive away any Dragon Hawk.”
“Wyrm’s aura?” Lin Li frowned, then suddenly slapped his thigh. “Got it!”
“What?”
“Hold on…” Lin Li couldn’t care to explain at all in a haste. He hurriedly opened the Ring of Endless Storm and took out a fist-sized item.
“Luckily, I didn’t throw it away…” Lin Li held a dull stone in his hand, but he seemed to be holding it like it was something precious. The Wyrm’s aura? This stone was dug out from the body of Azardas, the Dragon of Destruction. Even if it was not a magical crystal and a gallstone instead, it would still carry a trace of the aura of the Dragon of Destruction, wouldn’t it?
That was one of the four Dragon Aspects in the Endless World. It absolutely could not be mentioned at the same length as other ordinary dragons. Once its aura was emitted, even a real dragon would bow in trepidation, let alone the Dragon Hawk Queen.
“What is this?”
“O great soul merchant, can’t you see? This is something from a wyrm’s body. How’s it? The wyrm’s aura it emits is pretty strong, eh?”
“To be honest, I can’t feel it at all.” Connoris did not give Lin Li face at all. “If you’re depending on this to scare the Dragon Hawk away, I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed…”
