Chapter 14: Half-Dragon (41/96)
Shaking his head, Ryuji sorted out his thoughts, and only then did he shake the situation of the upstream castle in the underworld out of his mind.
But looking back at the destroyed magic circle in front of him, Yanagi's train of thought couldn't help but turn back.
In the underworld, what Sandru saw in that position was the corpse of a dragon.
The dragon was not very large, only about a dozen meters long, and it was not known whether it was killed by the original owner of the castle or if it belonged to the castle's patron spirit.
Anyway, the dragon's corpse fell on the spot where the castle was, and on the dragon's body was the collapsed castle fragments.
It could be seen that the dragon's corpse had almost merged with the castle fragments, slowly but steadily affecting the surrounding environment.
The most important thing is that Ryuji can see that there are silk threads in the sky that cannot be seen by normal people falling from the sky and falling around the dragon, and these silk threads seem to affect some people in the castle in terms of blood and soul.
That's what Ryuji wants.
He is not demanding, the hills formed by the dragon, the bones of the giant snake, Nadam, the snake skeleton tree and the poisonous snake flower, so many things can affect the bloodline of the man-eating wolf and the ghoul dog, so that they can become stronger and stronger from generation to generation.
It is precisely for this reason that Liu Zhi was excited and pushed the magic circle that was almost ready.
Looking at the magic circle in front of him, Liu Zhi thought for a moment, pressed his eyebrows with his right hand, and sent a message to Sandru.
Then he returned to his military building, and he had already given the order that the little wolves and little wolves who had been thrown into the fountain of life should be left in place for a few more days, and everything would be heard in more detail from Sandru.
After receiving Ryuji's reply, Sandru knew what he was going to do.
He raised the staff of death and released a cloud of black mist, enveloping himself and the two troops of wolf warriors and fighting dogs around him.
Under the influence of the dark canopy, Sandru and the two groups of man-eating wolves and ghouls were not found, so they mixed near the dragon's corpse.
Once here, Sandru discovered that there were still a lot of undead near the dragon's corpse.
However, the situation of these undead seems to be a little strange, and I don't know if they were born like this, or if they were affected by the dragon corpse after death, and they turned out to be a little half-dragon.
At the same time, most of these undead have flesh and blood, maintaining the state of zombies, and a few have turned into skeletons, and there is no such thing as ghosts at all.
Sandru also found that the closer the undead got to the dragon's corpse, the worse the half-dragon became, and next to the dragon's corpse, Sandru even saw several strange undead with dragon horns on their heads and a pair of bat wings on their backs.
The dragon wings on the backs of the undead did not seem to have the ability to fly, and they were draped over their bodies like cloaks.
The undead on the outside are relatively better, mostly on the arms or legs with some dragon scales, and some of the eyes are just vertical pupils.
Sandru did not make excessive contact with these half-dragon undead, but observed their actions from a distance.
He noticed that the more severe the half-dragon spirits were, the more blurred their consciousness became, especially those who used dragon wings as cloaks, wearing ornate mourning clothes, holding scepters or swords and the like, leaning against the dragon's corpse as if they were leaning on a couch.
If it weren't for the fact that they sometimes opened their eyes and looked around, Sandru would have thought they had all become one with the ground or the corpse of the dragon.
On the contrary, the half-dragon undead with scales on their bodies would still wander around, as if they didn't have any goal, just walking around, not approaching the dragon's corpse, and not going out of a certain range.
While Sandru was observing the half-dragon undead, the man-eating wolves and ghouls that had been sent out ran back.
Those man-eating wolves and ghouls were not protected by Sandru's dark canopy, and there were quite a few of them, and they were discovered by the half-dragon undead as soon as they appeared.
Instead of letting the man-eating wolves and ghouls come close to him, Sandru guided them and sent them around the dragon's corpses to test the undead's powers of observation and action.
When they were about a kilometer away from the dragon's corpse, the half-dragon undead reacted at the same time, and the undead who were closer to the man-eating wolf and ghoul dog did not wander at will as before, but formed a small phalanx and pressed towards the man-eating wolf and ghoul dog.
They tend to be in groups of 30, and there seem to be some skirmishers outside each phalanx.
These half-dragon undead have no weapons or anything, they just rush forward with their bare hands.
But Sandru believed that they were superior even if they were unarmed, because their hands had completely scaled into dragon claws as they charged.
Although these man-eating wolves and ghouls are not professionalized, although they are not organized, they are all level 2 undead, and they also have exoskeletons made of mummies on their bodies.
The combat power was obviously much stronger than before, and when the half-dragon undead charged, the man-eating wolf and the ghoul rushed out at the same time.
The man-eaters sprang out noticeably faster, crashing into their enemies on the spot and biting down the bodies of the undead, as if the waves were crashing against a reef.
Ghoul dogs are more agile, and when they charge, they can also adjust their direction slightly, and after rushing out, they scatter in all directions, often when they see them pounce forward, they have already run behind the enemy, biting the back of the enemy's neck.
Those half-dragon undead had no fear in the face of such an attack, and they didn't care about the ghouls or man-eating wolves biting them, but they grabbed the stomachs of these canines with their backhands.
If it had been before, these man-eating wolves and ghouls would have been caught like this, and they would definitely have to lose half their lives, after all, they are just underworld creatures, not real undead.
But with the exoskeleton mecha made of mummies, the situation was different, and when the half-dragon undead clawed past, the bandages wrapped around the ghouls turned into yellow sand, blocking the fatal blow.
The man-eating wolf and the ghoul took advantage of this opportunity to bite the dragon's scaly claws.
Amazingly, the dragon scales burst the teeth of the man-eating wolves, and they could bite off the steel with their attacks, but they couldn't bite off the hands of the undead.
The man-eaters and ghouls then engage in a scuffle with the undead.
As Sandru first discovered, man-eating wolves and ghouls have no other way to attack than to bite.
In this kind of scuffle, the odds of the man-eating wolf and the ghoul are getting weaker and weaker.
