Episode 536 Ice Dragon
With the increase in strength, Detangk's flight speed has been greatly increased, becoming more than twice as fast. However, in order to prevent him from getting involved in the scope of the divine power of the Ten Thousand Ages God King, he could only make a detour instead of moving in a straight line, which caused him to delay his journey a lot.
After many days, he finally arrived at the new station of the Dragon Pirates. It's close to the east, far from the Sea of Dreams, and it's a borderless land, and it's quite remote. Due to the influence of the Eternal God King, there were many fewer raids on the sea, causing the pirates to lose their jobs, and many members of the Evil Dragon Pirate Regiment chose to leave instead of wandering with the group.
For those who chose to leave, Donk did not stop them, but let them go. The pirate group is in this state now, and it can't afford to raise too many idlers, and even if those people don't leave, they have to dismiss some low-level personnel. These people took the initiative to leave, but it saved the pirate group trouble.
There are only a few more than 20,000 pirates left in the current station of the Dragon Pirate Regiment, which is much less than before. There were fewer people and fewer houses needed, making the site seem small and look like a small village.
After Donk's return, the pirates in the garrison gave a warm welcome, after all, the regimental commander had not returned for a long time. However, the pirates at the welcome ceremony were generally in a low mood and did not appear to be overly happy. This downturn was not caused by Tang Ke, but by the God King of All Ages, and everyone felt uneasy because of the existence of the God King of All Ages, so they naturally couldn't be happy.
Tang Ke sensed this sluggish mood, and in order to boost everyone's mood and let everyone see some hope, he announced that he had reached the ninth order. As soon as this news was announced, it did have the effect of boosting emotions and sparked a heated discussion among the pirates.
The ninth order is definitely the label of a first-class powerhouse in this world, if it is all the ninth-order powerhouses in the world today. You can count them on your fingers.
If you want to reach the ninth order, it usually takes many years, and Tang Ke can become a ninth-order swordsman at this age, which is already very remarkable, and he can be regarded as a top-notch existence in modern history, and he will never find a second person.
This growth momentum made the pirates see the hope of Tang Ke reaching the tenth order, and after becoming the tenth order, he also had the power of God Butcher! The pirates finally saw a glimmer of hope, and they all hoped that Tang Ke would soon become a tenth-order swordsman. Then cut off the head of the God King of All Ages, and restore the current distorted world to its original state.
Although the original world is full of fighting, it is normal, and everything is running according to the normal trajectory. And although the world is peaceful now, there is an unacceptable distortion hidden under the calm. People would rather go back to the old era of fighting and killing than live in this distorted era.
Seeing that everyone's emotions had become much higher, Donk was very satisfied, so he let go of the pirates and ran to meet his wife and children. The wives are still those wives. But the child is more than just a child. Over the years, every once in a while, Donk would find time to meet with his family, and every time they met, he would inevitably have a warm time with his wife. As a result, several other wives and some of them became pregnant with children.
Elizabeth and Iona became mothers and gave birth to a boy and a girl, increasing the number of Donk's children from one to three. It's not far from forming a pirate group.
After seeing his family, Donk didn't stay long, and left the next day. They set off for another important garrison of the pirate group.
This other important garrison, the Viking Kingdom in the Far North, has been completely reduced to a territory of the Dragon Pirate Regiment after years of rule. The ancient kingdom of Vikings is far to the north, far away from the Sea of Dreams, but it has not been greatly affected by the gods of the world over the years, and there has been no large-scale migration.
When he arrived in the ancient kingdom of Vikings, Tang Ke first met with the members of the pirate group stationed there, including One-Eye, One-Ear, and others. After the greetings, he put on the iron crown, changed into a solemn outfit, and summoned his ministers as king. In this way, at least the people of the country can know that the king is okay, and it can play a role in reassuring people's hearts, even if the country is a mess no matter how stable it is.
After finishing a long mess of chores, Donk set up a banquet that night and had dinner with some of his close men.
"Captain, I don't know if you remember, I once got a set of blueprints for a magic ship, and you promised to help me collect materials for shipbuilding." After three rounds of drinking, he held a wine glass in one ear and changed the topic.
"Of course I remember, that ship should be called the 'Ice Age', it is a fifth-order magic ship, and the materials needed for shipbuilding are very precious." Donk nodded, and shoved a greasy piece of pork belly into his mouth.
"After years of collecting, the shipbuilding materials have basically been gathered, and now we are still close to building this ship!" The more one ear spoke, the more excited he became, and his eyes were faintly shining.
"Just one material?" Donk said in surprise. This matter has dragged on for too long, and he has not paid attention to it, but he did not expect that after many years, there will be such great progress.
"Yes, it's just one material! And I know where the material is, so I can find it directly, but it's a bit dangerous. When one ear said this, he was a little embarrassed.
"I'm also a ninth-order swordsman now, what else in this world can pose a threat to me besides the Ten Thousand Immortal God King? If there are any materials missing, you can tell me directly, as long as it is not in the territory of the God King of All Worlds, I can get it back when I go. Donk pouted, disapproving.
"That kind of material is really not in the territory of the Ten Thousand God King, it is on this frozen continent."
"Where is the Tundra Continent?"
"Frozen Dragon's Lair!"
"Dragon's Lair?" The disapproving look on Donk's face stiffened slightly.
"That's right, in the Dragon's Lair. The last material needed to make Ice Age was the skeleton of an ice dragon, the only known ice dragon in the world, and this ice dragon lived in a cave in the tundra. As long as you can kill this ice dragon and bring the keel back in its entirety, we will be able to gather all the materials to build the Ice Age in no time. One ear said excitedly.
Dragons are undoubtedly the most powerful creatures in the world, and their strength is between the ninth-order powerhouses and the tenth-order powerhouses, and they are generally higher than the ninth-order powerhouses. It is very difficult to deal with a dragon on your own, even if it is Goldbeard back then. It was also the strength of the entire pirate group that he was able to kill a dragon.
A living dragon is not the same as a dragon skeleton summoned from another world, and the skeleton that Donk shattered in the Evernight Swamp was much weaker than a real dragon.
Fighting a dragon is a big challenge for Tang Ke, but he can use this battle to test his true strength after reaching the ninth order. If he succeeds in killing the ice dragon, he can gather the materials to make the Ice Age, and if he fails, he is sure enough to retreat without any worries.
"Give me a map to the Frozen Dragon's Lair. I'll leave tomorrow. With a high fighting spirit, Donk drank the last sip of wine in his glass.
The next day, Donk took the map and flew to the Frozen Dragon's Lair, which was located deep in the Frozen Continent, even farther away than Cloud Peak Mountain. It is rumored that the dragon's lair is located in the northernmost center of the world, and the cold air in the world is emitted from that dragon's lair, so it is unknown whether it is true or not.
The farther north you fly, the stronger the oncoming winds and the lower the temperature. Even the thick-skinned Tang Ke could feel the chill that invaded the bone marrow, as if it was about to freeze the sky and the earth into ice cubes. The fierce blowing of the cold wind slowed his flight a little.
After several days of flying, Donk finally reached the far north. There was a cold storm sweeping upwards, reaching into the sky at the top of the storm and a large deep crater at the bottom of the storm.
This is the so-called Frozen Dragon's Lair.
Tang Ke spread his sword qi wings and levitated in the storm. The dark red feathers on the wings swayed in the wind of the storm. He condescendingly looked at the frozen dragon's lair below, which was bottomless and could not be seen through it with his eyesight. I could only vaguely see a huge figure entrenched below.
It didn't take an investigation technique to guess that the figure below was an ice dragon, and Tang Ke was amazed in his heart, this ice dragon was really big enough, beyond his previous expectations.
It seemed to feel the arrival of an uninvited guest, and the quiet figure below suddenly shook violently, and two cold lights flashed in the originally dark crypt, and the cold light rushed straight upwards and turned into two pillars of light, which was actually an ice dragon's gaze!
As far as the ice dragon could see, the temperature of the air dropped suddenly. This gaze finally fell on Tang Ke, causing that dress to freeze instantly, and even the sword qi wings were frozen in ice.
"Good fellow, just one gaze is so domineering, if you bite me, it will be fine." Tang Ke was taken aback, and hurriedly ducked to the side, avoiding the gaze of the gaze.
The tremors beneath the frozen dragon's lair grew louder, and the resting ice dragon seemed to move, and the whole earth trembled, and the storm in the sky became more intense, violently stirring the surrounding ice and the sky above.
Presumably, the ice dragon will rush out soon, and in line with the principle of striking first, Tang Ke took the lead in attacking, and at the same time used two different abilities, the Sky Eye and the Light Slash. Under the perception of Tianyan, he could see all the surrounding situations clearly, even the pitch-black dragon's lair could be seen clearly. He could see the appearance of the ice dragon thoroughly, the ice dragon was at least three thousand yards long, and it was surprisingly large, and its entire body was covered with snow-white scales, as if it was wearing a piece of white armor. There were many cold qi lingering on the ice dragon's body, and each cold qi was exuding terrifying power.
At this time, the ice dragon was slowly raising its head and aiming its head at the entrance of the cave.
Tang Ke aimed the eye of the sky at the ice dragon's eyes, which were obviously much more fragile than the scales, and slashed at it with several light slashes. On the surface, his body did not move, but the sharp and furious sword qi had already fallen into the dragon's lair, like a meteor shower.
These Dao sword qi slammed into the ice dragon's face, and at the last moment, the ice dragon suddenly closed its eyes, it looked very bulky, but its movements were not slow at all. The sword qi slammed into the ice dragon's face, causing a series of explosions, shaking out a lot of white ice mist, in this ice mist, there were a few wisps of blood, but there were not many of them.
"Roar! Humble mortal, you dare to make a move on a dragon, it's so impatient, I'm going to make you pay for this stupidity! The ice dragon roared in pain, and its movements sped up again, stretching its body in a relatively limited space, and rushing upwards.
A huge figure flew into the sky. Spread out a pair of wings covered in scales and sharp horns, casting a gloomy shadow. Around this figure, a strong cold wind emerged, like countless steel knives, violently scraping everything around it.
"It's even more interesting that you can speak human language." Tang Ke was slightly surprised, but he didn't take it too seriously, and he was still unleashing a light slash attack in his hand.
Countless sword qi slashed towards the ice dragon from all directions, forming a dense network of light that enveloped it. These sword qi slashed at the ice dragon. Leave scars on the sturdy scales.
"You mortal are so hateful!" The ice dragon's body spun, setting off a cold wind, shaking away all the incoming sword qi, and then shaking its wings, flying out of the dangerous area where the sword qi was raging. It flew and scanned its surroundings, and soon found Tangk, roared angrily, and rushed over.
The power of Donk's attacks just now was strong enough. But he failed to inflict substantial damage on the ice dragon, which made him a little angry. He untied the Qianjun Sword from his back and held it tightly in his hand, it was the heaviest sword in the world. The attack you use with this sword will be even more powerful than when you used the Light Slash just now.
The ice dragon attacked as it flew, opening its mouth and spitting out several streaks of ice wind at Donk. Donk flashed the icy winds one by one. Seizing the opportunity, he flew headlong at the ice dragon.
The two figures, one large and one small, staggered in mid-air, at this moment. Tang Ke slammed the Qianjun Sword in his hand into the ice dragon's head, and he himself was hit by the ice dragon.
A blood-stained scale flew up from the ice dragon's face, rolling several times in mid-air, and by now it had finally taken substantial damage.
On the other hand, Tang Ke was not much better, he was hit by the ice dragon and flew away, and it took a while to stop with his sword qi.
Wisps of blood flowed from the wounds on the ice dragon's face and dissipated in the bitter ice wind.
Stimulated by the pain, the ice dragon's cold eyes turned red, obviously completely enraged. With a roar, it lunged at Tonk again, flailing its wings to create a storm of unprecedented intensity. The storm enveloped its massive body, making it incredibly blurred, leaving only a vague shadow.
Seeing that the attack just now had worked, Tang Ke did the same, and rushed forward again with the Qianjun Sword. But just as he was approaching the edge of the storm, under the control of the ice dragon, the storm suddenly spread to the surroundings, blowing violently on his body, blowing him out of the way.
The power of this storm far exceeded all the attacks of the ice dragon just now, and the chill directly pierced through Tang Ke's body, freezing the blood and internal organs inside. Donk's body stiffened, let alone moved, and it fell to the ground like an ice sculpture, slamming into the ice.
"This is what you deserve, mortal!" The ice dragon roared at the tiny figure on the ground, swooping down, spreading its huge, sharp claws and stomping on Donk's body. The force of the blow was extremely violent, sending Donk directly into the ice, and a circle of spiderweb-like cracks spread out all around.
Through the previous encounters, the ice dragon has shown terrifying strength, no wonder the dragon will become the overlord of this world, bringing endless fear.
The ice dragon slowly moved the soles of his feet away, staring at the deep rift, searching for Donk's supposedly shattered body. Its gaze deepened, but it did not see what it expected. Instead, a figure suddenly rushed out from below and struck it the chin, knocking it back a few steps and stomping on the ice.
The figure that flew out was none other than Donk, who had already used the power of the Resurrection Fountain to melt away the chill that had invaded his body and regained his mobility.
The chill emitted by the ice dragon's full blow was too terrifying, even Tang Ke couldn't resist it, and once it touched his body, he would be frozen into an ice sculpture, so he couldn't fight. If you use the Qianjun Sword, you will inevitably get close, and you may be frozen at close range, so you can only use long-range attacks.
At the end of the day, Donk still has to rely on the ability of the Light Slash, which is his most powerful ranged attack to date.
"Big lizard, a small gift for you." Tang Ke's eyes lit up, and he threw the heavy Qianjun Sword in his hand towards the ice dragon, and this flick was full of force, and the Qianjun Sword grazed the air, causing a sharp sound.
The ice dragon felt the terrifying destructive power coming from the Qianjun Sword, and hurriedly dodged to the side, allowing the Qianjun Sword to be inserted diagonally into the ground.
The absence of the Qianjun Sword has left Tang Ke with a weapon to take advantage of, but it has also allowed him to unload a burden. The Qianjun Sword is too heavy, and carrying this sword will greatly slow down his speed, and only by throwing this sword away can he truly reach his peak state.
"Whew, it's so much easier now." Tang Ke's whole body suddenly lightened, and he felt as if he had become a weightless feather, a feeling of lightness that he hadn't tried for a long time.
The ice dragon thought that Tangk had been killed, but now that Tangk was still alive and kicking in midair, its newly extinguished anger reigniting, shaking its wings and soaring into the sky, setting off a bitter cold wind.
Just as the ice dragon was about to crash headlong into Donk, the latter, like a ghost, suddenly disappeared without a trace. (To be continued......)
