Just as Caesar's Soldier Beetles were happily gnawing on the Dragon corpse, a giant black Dragon slowly descended from high in the sky.
It was Demon Dragon Xiao Hei.
Previously, it had been sent flying by a Rock Spirit Giant Serpent's tail, suffering serious injuries.
It rested for several days and devoured a large amount of exotic beast flesh and blood before gradually recovering.
Now, it folded its wings and landed silently beside Caesar.
Its ferocious Dragon head lowered, and its huge Dragon eyes looked at Caesar, showing a docile and obedient expression.
Zhou Huai smiled at this scene.
This fellow's nose was quite keen.
It had clearly slled the aroma of the Hell-level Dragon corpse and was drooling.
However, unless Zhou Huai spoke, it dared not step forward to eat on its own.
During this East Sea City defense battle, Xiao Hei indeed made significant contributions.
Thanks to it stubbornly holding down the first Hell-level BOSS, the Soul-Devouring Golden Feather Eagle, Da Yi was able to seize the opportunity for a one-shot kill.
Zhou Huai naturally wouldn't show favoritism.
He controlled Caesar, extending the hand gloved in black carapace, and pointed distantly at the giant Dragon head that had fallen in the ruins.
The aning was clear: the Dragon head was yours.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Hei glanced at it, then shook its head with a look of disdain.
It let out a low 'woo woo' growl from its throat, seemingly saying that the Dragon head had too many bones and didn't taste good.
Zhou Huai didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"A Hell-level BOSS's Dragon head, every piece of flesh and every inch of bone on it, are extrely precious Materials, yet you're still being picky."
Xiao Hei ignored him, gently rubbing its huge Dragon head against Caesar's arm.
Its vertical pupils were full of fawning and longing, like a child pestering for candy.
Zhou Huai had no choice but to give in, indicating that he could remove a Dragon leg for it.
"Roar!"
Having received permission, Xiao Hei imdiately let out a joyful Dragon roar.
It fiercely flapped its wings, its massive body stirring up a gust of wind, and impatiently rushed into the giant pit.
It opened its gaping maw, its sharp fangs, capable of crushing steel, bit down hard on the Purgatory Fla Dragon's thick hind leg!
"Crack!"
Accompanied by a bone-chilling crunch of bones, it actually tore off that Dragon leg, which was thicker than a house, ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) right from its root!
Scalding Dragon blood gushed out like a fountain, splashing all over it.
Xiao Hei, however, didn't care, gnawing on the huge Dragon leg as if it were a delicious bone, feasting heartily.
On the other side, within the Zerg space, Soldier Beetles continued to fly out in an endless stream.
Joining the black army devouring the Dragon corpse.
Ti passed by minute by minute.
Unbeknownst to them, the number of Soldier Beetles that had flown out from the Zerg space had already exceeded twenty thousand.
The massive carcass of the Purgatory Fla Dragon was densely covered with wriggling black specks, a sight that made one's scalp tingle.
However, the Hell-level BOSS's size was ultimately too imnse.
Even after all this ti of gnawing, these Soldier Beetles had only managed to carve out tiny pits on the surface of the Dragon corpse, like a drop in the ocean.
On Xiao Hei's side, on the other hand, the huge Dragon leg had already been mostly gnawed away, revealing stark white bones.
Xiao Hei let out a satisfied burp.
A visible surge of rich energy flowed around its body.
It flapped its wings, greeted Zhou Huai, and then turned to fly into the distance.
Now it just needed to find a quiet place to properly digest, and its Rank would be able to improve again.
Zhou Huai quietly observed the swarm of insects.
Among the first batch of Soldier Beetles that had devoured Dragon at, so had undergone a deeper level of mutation.
Not only was its carapace entirely crimson, but its surface had actually developed dense, dark red patterns resembling Dragon scales.
These patterns were not simple designs, but true raised scale structures, gleaming with a tallic luster in the faint light.
Zhou Huai's thoughts stirred, and one of the Soldier Beetles that had completed its secondary mutation imdiately flapped its wings, flew up from the Dragon corpse, and landed in his palm.
He carefully examined this little fellow, then opened its attribute panel.
【"Na: Soldier Beetle"】
【"Rank: LV3"】
【"Strength: 10"】
【"ntal Energy: 10"】
【"Agility: 10"】
【"Physique: 10"】
【"Skill 1: Bite LV1 (Attacks enemies with sharp mouthparts.)"】
【"Skill 2: Fla Dragon Fire LV1 (Immune to high temperatures, can spew flas with corrosive and armor-piercing effects.)"】
【"Skill 3: Dragon Scale Armor LV1 (Carapace becos Dragon-scaled, defense increased by 200%.)"】
Not bad, not bad.
Zhou Huai nodded in satisfaction.
How long had it taken for its Rank to reach LV3?
It had also comprehended two such practical skills.
It would be great if it could comprehend more core skills like Dragon Breath or Dragon Might.
He was just thinking this.
Below, on the Purgatory Fla Dragon's corpse, a low Dragon roar, as if squeezed from deep within a throat, suddenly ca.
Compared to a true Dragon roar, this sound was countless tis smaller, more like a mosquito buzzing.
But this seed to be a genuine Dragon roar.
Zhou Huai's consciousness swept over, quickly locking onto the Soldier Beetle that had emitted the Dragon roar.
He was curious how this little fellow had produced a Dragon roar.
Upon closer observation, he found that the two ends of this Soldier Beetle's mouthparts had undergone a very peculiar mutation.
At the base of its sharp mouthparts, two tiny, thin, cicada-wing-like fleshy mbranes had actually grown, subtly vibrating.
It was the resonance of these two mbranes that allowed it to produce a sound similar to a Dragon roar while tearing at flesh and blood.
This was only the first one.
The effect was not yet obvious.
Once the number of Soldier Beetles that comprehended this ability reached a certain scale.
Perhaps, they could truly unleash genuine Dragon Might.
A swarm army capable of unleashing Dragon Might and Dragon Breath... Zhou Huai was musing contentedly when he suddenly heard Butler Fu's voice.
"Young Master, Young Miss Jasmine requests to see you."
Zhou Huai quickly brought his consciousness back to his body and slowly opened his eyes.
He spoke calmly.
"Let her in."
Butler Fu nodded, then turned and left the room.
Not long after, a figure walked in from outside, her footsteps sounding sowhat reserved.
It was Jasmine.
She had cut off her long black hair, leaving only a neat, shoulder-length bob.
Her pretty face, which always carried a hint of aloofness, was now filled with exhaustion, her eyes slightly red, clearly having just cried.
Upon seeing Zhou Huai in his wheelchair, Jasmine's body trembled violently.
She quickly took two steps forward, ca close, and knelt on one knee without hesitation, letting out a muffled thud.
Her head was bowed deeply, her voice filled with uncontrollable gratitude and excitent.
"Your subordinate, Jasmine, greets Master!"
"Thank you, Master, for saving East Sea City!"
Zhou Huai waved his hand, signaling her to rise, and didn't waste words with her.
He directly asked, "In this defense of East Sea City, how many brothers did our Eternal Night Guild lose?"
Upon hearing this, Jasmine's body, which had just stood up, stiffened again.
Her already pale pretty face instantly turned even whiter.
Her lips moved, but she eventually reported truthfully, "According to my statistics, in this defense of East Sea City, our Eternal Night Guild... lost two hundred and eighty-three brothers."
