Chapter 4: The Tyrant of the Canyon
"Blue Stone !!" Mulan recognized the blue boulder lying at the end of the forest at a glance and rushed forward happily.
However, after getting closer, Mulan found that the pale blue stone statue was prostrate on the ground, and its body was filled with dark blue liquid, and the liquid surface was overflowing with rich magic blue energy.
The liquid was the blood of the Azure Statue! It seemed that the blue stone statue had indeed been attacked by something else and was seriously injured. This is just right, Mulan thought in her heart, this just happened to let her pick up a big bargain.
In the blink of an eye, Mulan ran to the side of the pale stone statue and drew her sword without hesitation.
"Brake-" The giant sword fell, slamming into the stone body of the azure stone statue, and its last breath was cut off by Mulan's sword. The body of the blue stone statue emitted a dazzling blue light, which immediately began to decay rapidly, and Mulan stared at the strange blue light, and felt the extremely empty magic blue in her body - the timing was just right! In a few moments, she may not even be able to stand.
At this time, Zhang Liang, who flew with Mulan, suddenly stopped, he stopped ten steps away from the end of the forest, and no longer moved forward. At this time, Zhang Liang's eyebrows were furrowed, his face was full of anxiety, he had been deciphering ancient books for a long time, and he had also cultivated an extremely keen sixth sense, and he felt an extreme uneasiness about the strange rock in front of him at this moment.
Suddenly, as if stimulated by something, Zhang Liang exclaimed, "Lan Lan, come back quickly!! ”
Hua Mulan was obviously surprised, but for some reason, she subconsciously obeyed Zhang Liang's shout, left the blue stone statue that was about to decay, and quickly retreated to Zhang Liang's side.
Almost at the same time, without warning, a circle of violent energy waves were born and vibrated on the ground.
The waves of energy stirred up everything in the wasteland, and the smaller stones were stirred into the air and exploded into pieces directly in the shock of energy.
The aftermath of the energy was still spreading outward, and the storm toppled down the outermost row of ancient trees in the forest, and stirred up the decaying pale stone corpse on the ground, which dissipated like smoke in the agitation of energy, leaving only a pale blue gem to fall into the wasteland.
Zhang Liang and Hua Mulan both looked at everything that happened in front of them with shocked expressions, and Hua Mulan was even more emotional, fortunately after listening to Zhang Liang's words just now, she dodged the energy wave in time. After everything calmed down, Mulan looked at the pale blue gem that fell to the ground, which was the treasure of the pale blue stone statue, the blue heart.
Immediately after, a familiar roar sounded from the canyon, Zhang Liang and Hua Mulan subconsciously raised their eyes, only to see a giant dragon flying out of the barren valley!
It was a huge wyvern, with demonic horns on its head, covered with purple-black scale armor, and a wingspan of 100 meters, as if it were covering the sky and the sun. With its blade-like dragon claws stretched and its fiery pupils open, it stood tall and looked down on everything in the canyon! It's the master of it, the Tyrant Dragon!
Looking at the tyrant dragon that appeared in the sky, Zhang Liang and Hua Mulan were a little surprised, but Hua Mulan was more concerned about the blue heart that fell to the ground.
Everything is clear at a glance, the previous blue stone statue was seriously injured by this tyrant dragon, the reason is estimated to be trespassing on the territory of this tyrant dragon, Zhang Liang thought so, and said to Mulan: "Lanlan, we must get out of here, that tyrant dragon is the lord of this canyon, and it is a giant monster beyond the high level." It's not good to provoke it! ”
Hua Mulan was silent, of course she knew what Zhang Liang said, but the magic blue in her body was almost empty, and she had to get that blue heart, otherwise......
Hua Mulan turned her head and said to Zhang Liang very seriously: "I have to get that blue heart!" Regardless of the past, now I beg you, use your ability to help me hold that dragon as much as possible. Get the Blue Heart, and we'll withdraw! ”
Zhang Liang really wanted to ask Mulan why she was so persistent, he knew that the magic blue in Mulan's body was dissipated, but he could help her replenish the magic blue first, why did he have to risk taking that piece of blue heart? However, Zhang Liang couldn't say anything, he looked at Mulan's earnest eyes, and suddenly felt that he was powerless to refuse her request, no matter how ridiculous it was.
Zhang Liang acquiesced, he decided to take a risk with Mulan, this kind of unthinking and unprepared adventure is definitely not his style. But perhaps Zhang Liang himself did not realize that from this moment on, his life full of careful thinking and logical rationality has gained a trace of "courage" to cross reason.
Mulan turned around and looked at the dragon and the blue heart, and then stepped out lightly - "Cang Po Slash - Double-Triple" Hua Mulan didn't dare to be careless, exhausted all the magic blue and directly used the three-stage displacement of the Cang Po Slash, and in the blink of an eye, she approached the blue heart that was shining with blue light.
However, the Tyrant Dragon had already moved the moment it saw Mulan, and it flapped its huge wings violently, and swooped towards the ground at great speed, like a meteorite falling violently to the ground, stirring up a layer of majestic wind and waves, and shaking up dust all over the ground.
It was just a layer of unmixed energy wind and waves, but Mulan, who had exhausted the magic blue, was so weak that she was directly knocked down by that layer of wind and waves. Mulan held her sword and fell to her knees, her eyes had begun to drift, but she still stared firmly at the pale blue heart, only a few steps away, only a few steps to get it.
Mulan drove her limbs that were about to go numb, desperately trying to stand up, she couldn't just stop here...... Absolutely not! However, no matter how much she struggled, it was no longer possible for this weakened body of Demon Blue to move.
But the Tyrant Dragon on the side did not stop, it fell not far from Mulan, stretched out a huge claw the size of the pale stone statue and pounced on Mulan.
The "Spirit Barrier" was as thin as a veil-thin energy barrier that appeared in front of the Tyrant Dragon's giant claws at the right time. Zhang Liang made a move, accurately predicted the timing, and then made a move, he wanted to delay time for Mulan as much as possible.
And the Tyrant Dragon didn't care about the seemingly nonexistent wall of energy, and the giant claws sharper than the blade thrust forward fiercely.
"Ahh In an instant, the Tyrant Dragon was stunned, but it was only for that moment, and the Tyrant Dragon immediately woke up again, and the dragon claws protruded forward one after another.
Monsters and monsters are aliens from the natural world, and have natural resistance to magic spells. What's more, the Tyrant Dragon's physique is so powerful, and being able to stun it for a second is already the limit of Zhang Liang's skills.
But Zhang Liang was still surprised, they really underestimated the strength of this canyon tyrant. However, he didn't give up, his middle finger bent upward, and another energy barrier appeared at the giant claw of the Tyrant Dragon.
Not surprisingly, the Tyrant Dragon was stunned for another second, and then immediately recovered, and it swung its huge claws forward, clearly angry. A second may not be long, but the powerful stunning effect is simply an insult to its Tyrant Dragon.
Zhang Liang knew that the barrier could no longer play a greater role in the Tyrant Dragon, but he still had to release his skills. He was there for that second of interval, so that he would have enough time to fly to Mulan's side. Mulan's physical strength has been exhausted, and it is too dangerous for her to stay alone under the eyes of the Tyrant Dragon!
"Spirit Barrier" Zhang Liang released the barrier again, delaying time second by second, and finally flew to Mulan's side.
Zhang Liang's brain was thinking quickly, his barrier could no longer be over-released, and now that the situation was so unfavorable, they had to give up the blue heart and flee quickly. So as soon as Zhang Liang flew in, he didn't hesitate to reach out to hug Mulan, wanting to take her away as soon as he was exhausted - unfortunately, they were still careless.
As soon as Zhang Liang stretched out his hand, he felt a huge pressure volley attacking, forcefully suppressing him and the half-unconscious Hua Mulan - the tyrant dragon spread its wings and soared into the air, it was obviously furious after being controlled by Zhang Liang several times, it flapped its huge wings like black clouds, and released the coercion of its tyrant with all its might.
At this moment, the fire in its angry pupils burst into flames, as if it was about to burn everything in front of it. Then, it opened its massive palate, full of sharp teeth, and a deep crimson flame emerged from its long, dark throat, which continued to condense energy and raise its temperature.
Suddenly, the Tyrant Dragon spat violently, and the red lotus flames entangled in demonic energy flew out, aiming directly at the two people who were stuck in the wasteland - the angry Tyrant Dragon wanted to use its fury to burn the hateful intruders who trespassed on the tyrant's territory!
Hua Mulan struggled to raise her misty eyes, there was no remorse in her eyes, even if she didn't take the risk, without the blue heart, she would still exhaust the magic blue and die, but she was unwilling.
"Is that really the end there? …… It's a pity that this person has been affected......"
Zhang Liang stared at the rapidly attacking dragon fire, and the scorching temperature seemed to be about to scorch his consciousness. It was the first time in his life that he had ventured without thinking, and the result was so miserable.
"Sure enough...... Still too irrational......"
It was the first time he had faced such a desperate situation, but he had not felt fear. There was nothing he could do, all he could do was subconsciously take a step forward and stand in front of Mulan—with his fragile body.
The burning dragon fire surged in, with the determination to burn all things!
——A silver spear stabbed out in the air, horizontally between Zhang Liang and the roaring flames——The bright silver blade of the "Spear of the Horse" met the surging and burning dragon fire, the tip of the spear swept, the blade of the spear returned, and in an instant, the spear swept back into chaos, and swept away the fierce dragon fire.
The spear was picked up, leaving only countless scorching sparks fluttering in the dust of the twilight - "Zhang Liang, Zhang Liang, you, a little mage who has to wait for death when you encounter wild monsters, really make me worry about being a brother......"
In the afterglow of the setting sun, the red hair like a horse's tail danced in the wind with the fluttering sparks, and the silver armor reflected the crimson of the setting sun. The man in light armor was holding a spear, and he looked at the surprised Zhang Liang behind him, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
