Chapter 488 The Blood Essence of the God of Poison, the Dragon Clan in Utter Panic
The lightning trees erupted on a massive scale, and terrifying lightning swept in like a storm.
Although the number of dragon warriors was large, it was insignificant compared to the Thunder Tree Grove.
This mountain range stretches for thousands of miles and is entirely the territory of the Thunder Tree.
Once the Thunder Tree erupts, lightning surges forth like a tidal wave, and the dragon warriors fall like kites with broken strings, suffering heavy casualties in an instant.
Even the weakest of the Thunder Trees is level 70. Although their individual strength is not as great as that of the Dragon Warriors, their sheer number is astonishing.
Waves of lightning relentlessly bombarded the dragon generals, while also mercilessly destroying the dragon warships.
The protective shields of the dragon warships shattered under the bombardment of the thunder trees, and then plummeted from the sky.
Jiang Chen moved freely through the lightning; his body was completely immune to its damage.
He worked in tandem with the skeleton berserker, constantly throwing the corpses of the dragon warriors into the air, which he then detonated.
Jiang Chen and Lei Shuqun cooperated perfectly, causing the dragon army to suffer repeated defeats.
"retreat!"
An order came from the dragon warship, and the remaining warships turned around and sped away into the distance.
Jiang Chen immediately gave chase, but his speed was no match for the dragon warships, and he soon lost sight of them.
But that was no longer important; Jiang Chen had already locked onto the direction of the Dragon Clan. He simply stopped and waited for the cooldown of the "Strong Soldier" skill to finish.
Beneath him was a vast grove of thunder trees, and he knew that after suffering a loss once, the dragons would not risk entering such a dangerous environment again.
Here, dragon warships are not only useless, but they will also become targets of the thunder tree swarm.
Although the battle was brief, the dragons suffered heavy losses, with over 200 warships destroyed and more than 4000 dragon warriors killed.
All the dragons realized that they had underestimated Jiang Chen.
Orders were quickly issued, and all dragon clan members active on the Wind and Thunder Continent were recalled.
They knew that when Jiang Chen arrived, it would be an unprecedented battle.
Jiang Chen remained quietly in place, not leaving. He gazed in the direction the dragon warships had departed, and based on the route the dragons had taken to escape a few days prior, he roughly determined the location of their stronghold. "About five hundred kilometers away," Jiang Chen estimated in his mind.
"No rush, let's take it slow." He did not hurry to move forward.
Jiang Chen knew that the Dragon Clan must be on high alert, just waiting for him to come to their door.
At this moment, he was radiating a crimson glow, making it difficult to conceal his whereabouts, so he simply went there openly.
He had to figure all this out, otherwise, if the dragon race continued to develop in this way and created even more advanced warriors, the human race would be put on the defensive.
One hour later, the cooldown of the "Strong Soldier" skill ended.
Jiang Chen slowly got up and leisurely flew towards the direction of the Dragon Clan's territory.
As he moved further away from the Thundertree Mountains, the dragon warships were able to launch attacks with impunity.
In the distance, a colossal aerial fortress came into view. The dragons had actually built a massive military fortress here, surrounded by a dense array of warships.
This fortress is like a floating giant city, majestic and magnificent.
On this special land of the ancient battlefield, apart from the human race's Shenlong Ancient City, no other place can be used to build a city.
The dragons, however, had a unique idea: they built this fortress in the sky.
Upon seeing the fortress, Jiang Chen frowned slightly.
"This fortress exudes the aura of a secret realm. Could the secrets of the dragon race be hidden within that realm?"
The fortress was clearly built to protect a secret realm, which suggests that the realm must be extremely important.
Moreover, judging from the layout of the fortress's facilities, it seems to be indestructible.
Jiang Chen sensed a powerful aura emanating from the fortress, suggesting that at least god-level strength would be required to breach it.
Outside the fortress, nearly a thousand warships hovered in the air, their protective shields already activated, their cannons pointed directly at Jiang Chen.
Just as Jiang Chen had expected, the Dragon Clan had made full preparations and was just waiting for him to come to them.
In addition to the warships, a large number of dragon warriors were gathered outside the fortress.
These are not puppets, but real members of the dragon race.
They hovered in the air, and the powerful aura emanating from them made Jiang Chen feel a sense of pressure.
"There are so many dragon warriors who are over level 80, and the strongest of them are at least level 83, and there are quite a few of them."
Looking at these powerful dragon warriors, Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
He felt as if he had really stirred up a hornet's nest.
But now that he was here, he had to face it. He took a deep breath, preparing for the upcoming battle. At that moment, a powerful dragon flew out of the fortress, immediately drawing Jiang Chen's full attention.
The appearance of this dragon caused the other dragons present to bow in respect, highlighting his noble status.
More importantly, the aura it emitted was far stronger than that of any of the dragons present.
Jiang Chen estimated that its level was at least 85 or higher.
Moreover, its appearance differs from other dragons; its scales shimmer with a strange light, and it has a pair of sharp horns on its head, which contrasts sharply with the single-horned feature of other dragons.
"Two horns... This is actually a dragon with ancestral bloodline!" Jiang Chen was shocked.
Dragons with ancestral bloodlines hold a high position among dragons, and given enough time, they are sure to grow into extremely powerful dragon kings.
Even though it was only at a lower level at the moment, it could still stand on equal footing with an ordinary dragon king. Jiang Chen immediately understood that this two-horned dragon was the commander of this fortress.
It stared intently at Jiang Chen, its eyes filled with killing intent. The conflict between the dragon clan and Jiang Chen was already irreconcilable, requiring no further explanation.
"Jiang Chen, without the Thunder Tree and Wind Flower here, you have nowhere to escape and are doomed to die!" the Two-Horned Dragon Clan said loudly.
However, Jiang Chen's expression was one of disdain. While the Thunder Tree and Wind Flower had exerted some restraint on the Dragon Clan, they had also limited Jiang Chen to some extent. He did not rely entirely on these external forces.
"Today is the day to unleash a massacre!" Jiang Chen thought to himself.
He knew that once he took action, very few of these dragons would survive.
The dragon army is ready for battle, and a great war is about to break out.
Jiang Chen took out a drop of the precious essence blood of the God of Poison and began to summon the elemental lich.
The next second, a lich with a chaotic aura and exuding a deadly poisonous aura appeared beside him, ready to engage in a life-or-death battle with the dragon army.
The highly poisonous lich charged swiftly toward the dragon fortress like a ghost.
The moment all the dragons saw it, a sense of foreboding welled up in their hearts.
"Stop it!" the dragon commander shouted.
However, the warships were already a beat too late in firing their cannons.
The venomous lich is as fast as lightning; a distance of over a thousand meters is nothing more than a blink of an eye for it.
It exploded silently on the fortress. Although the blast radius was only thirty or forty meters, everything in the center of the explosion, whether it was a dragon warrior or any other object, was instantly fatally corroded and died.
At the edge of the fortress, several unfortunate dragon warriors, all powerful beings above level 80, were killed instantly by the venom of the poisonous lich, letting out shrill screams.
After the explosion, the poison gas began to spread slowly. Although the spread was not fast, it was enough to terrify the dragon clan members.
Their painstakingly built aerial fortress was about to be swallowed up by the poisonous gas and completely reduced to ruins.
"Jiang Chen, what have you done!" The dragon commander's expression changed drastically, and he roared.
Jiang Chen sneered and did not answer.
At times like this, it's more practical to demonstrate your skills than to waste words.
With a thought, a red light enveloped the entire area like a net, and with a soft hum, the curse of aging descended upon every member of the dragon race.
On this battlefield, free from the restrictions of the Thunder Tree and Wind Flower, Jiang Chen could finally unleash his curse skills without restraint.
At the same time, the undead legions appeared one after another, and the elemental liches descended onto the battlefield in droves, activating the "Strong Army" skill once again.
The skeleton berserkers, their feet shimmering with various colored halos, charged towards the dragon warships. The dragon warships, in turn, launched a furious counterattack, nearly a thousand ships opening fire simultaneously, raining down cannon fire upon the skeleton berserkers.
The skeleton berserkers nimbly dodged the artillery fire, avoiding it whenever possible, and enduring it if they couldn't, since they wouldn't die anyway.
Meanwhile, the skeleton archmage and sharpshooters concentrated their firepower on the dragon warriors.
A flash of green light exploded among the dragons—that was the power of the Poisonous Starburst skill.
This area-of-effect skill, which was previously limited by Thunder Tree and Wind Flower, instantly transformed into a terrifying killing machine with the support of the "Strong Soldier" skill.
Combined with the Poison Lich's Poison Aura, the damage stacks infinitely, dealing astonishing damage every second.
Within 30 seconds of the "Strong Soldier" skill, this damage reaches a terrifying level.
While dragon warriors above level 80 could barely hold on, those dragon members at level 70, especially the puppet warriors, couldn't last more than a few seconds.
Their overall attributes were far inferior to Jiang Chen's undead legion, and their physical constitution was pitifully weak.
They could die in an instant if the therapist was even slightly negligent.
The battle had barely begun when the aerial fortress was reduced to ruins, and all the dragon soldiers were poisoned and trapped in a desperate situation.
A glint of madness flashed in the dragon commander's eyes. He roared and charged toward Jiang Chen.
"I'm going to kill you!" His voice was filled with boundless killing intent.
