545: The location of the reverse scale

...

Chen Yuting was a bit speechless, but when she saw that Piao Jun had been scorched into what looked like a stewed egg, she couldn't help but smile faintly.

"It's the reverse scale. The appearance of this giant dragon is very similar to the legends of dragons in the world, so we figured it might have a fatal weakness."

She quickly recovered, keeping her eyes glued to the battlefield, ready to apply her skills to the two people fighting the giant dragon.

Piao Jun uttered an "oh," pulled out a bottle of water, poured it over his head, and casually wiped the black ash off his face.

But this only made his face look even funnier, as if it had been smeared with war paint.

However, Piao Jun wasn't concerned with such trivial matters of appearance right now. He looked toward the battlefield, and his bloodshot eyes showed a look of contemplation.

"reverse scale... I think I've heard that term before..."

Piao Jun tapped his head; he was genuinely becoming confused from the intense heat.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he shouted loudly toward the distance:

"I remember now! I saw a record before—the reverse scale is supposedly beneath the dragon's neck!"

The stream of water swirling around the Fire Elemental Dragon in the distance paused for a moment and immediately moved toward the dragon's neck area.

Piao Jun, having finished shouting, also took a breath. He looked at Chen Yuting and said:

"Give me a Time Guardian effect; I'm going over to help too!"

"You're still going? Your current state..."

"It's fine, I'm not dead yet!"

Piao Jun turned and ran. As he rapidly approached the giant dragon, Chen Yuting's skill effect appeared on his body.

Although he had seen records about the reverse scale, they were, after all, just records.

He wasn't sure if it was truly in that location, and even if it was, the giant dragon would certainly be extremely careful about its vital spot.

In the air, Jiang Xiaoyu was carried by the stream of water, continuously closing in on the dragon's head, his gaze constantly searching for the location of the so-called reverse scale.

"Where is it... where is it..."

Jiang Xiaoyu felt anxious. It wasn't just a matter of time; the water surrounding him, which was meant to protect him, had already reached a very high temperature.

Large amounts of water were evaporating every moment, and while he continuously generated more water, he also had to endure the torment of the high temperature.

"Jiang Xiaoyu! Be careful!"

Han Lie's voice suddenly rang out, causing Jiang Xiaoyu's nerves to tighten.

Immediately afterward, Jiang Xiaoyu met the giant dragon's cruel and bloodthirsty gaze.

Viewing it up close, he felt as insignificant as an ant, and his entire life force seemed locked down.

For a moment, he even entertained the thought of giving up resistance.

Smack! Jiang Xiaoyu slapped himself across the face, jolting himself out of that state.

He hurried to dodge as a blazing fireball shot past him, instantly reducing a large mass of water to nothingness.

Dragon's Might.

This nearly tangible pressure almost cost Jiang Xiaoyu his life!

Jiang Xiaoyu's heart pounded, but he grit his teeth and continued closing in on the dragon's head.

His body was constantly trembling; this wasn't due to fear of battle, but the terrifying effect of the Dragon's Might.

But Jiang Xiaoyu absolutely could not retreat, because he knew that if he took even one step back, that terrifying pressure would likely completely destroy all his fighting spirit!

This was a battle where he could only advance and absolutely could not retreat!

"You beast, look over here!"

Han Lie suddenly roared in anger, and then his right arm instantly swelled dozens of times its size.

He grabbed the dragon's snout with one hand, forcefully changing its direction.

The moment the direction changed, a mouthful of magma suddenly surged out of the dragon's mouth, blooming into an ineffably beautiful flower of flame in the sky.

Yet beneath this beauty lurked a surging murderous intent.

Jiang Xiaoyu also seized this opportunity to rapidly approach the underside of the dragon's neck, his gaze sweeping quickly, yet finding no results.

"Damn it! Where is the reverse scale! Where is the reverse scale!"

Jiang Xiaoyu's entire body was flushed crimson. If not for his powerful Holy Class physique, he would have already fainted from the heat.

But he didn't care about that right now; he just stared blankly at the dragon's neck, which showed no difference whatsoever.

It was still covered in dense, red scales, still an impenetrable defense.

Then what was the point of rushing over here?

Could it be that the appearance of this giant dragon meant their fate was sealed?

"Jiang Xiaoyu, look up! Is there anything near its chin?"

Suddenly, a slightly hoarse shout came from below, snapping Jiang Xiaoyu out of his daze.

He looked down and saw Piao Jun shouting loudly from the ground.

Jiang Xiaoyu subconsciously looked up, but his vision was slightly unfocused.

Under the pressure of the terrifying Dragon's Might, the high temperature, and several near-death experiences, his fighting spirit was rapidly fading.

Ultimately, he was still just a young man in his twenties.

But the very next second he looked up, an area of distinctly different color in his line of sight caused Jiang Xiaoyu's body to shake.

At this moment, the dragon's head was being held by Han Lie. Under its violent struggles, the area from the neck to the chin, which had previously been hidden, was now fully exposed in Jiang Xiaoyu's view.

He clearly saw a scale there that was noticeably brighter than those in other areas.

If the other scales were fiery red, then this scale was a brilliant crimson.

It looked like a piece of red-hot iron, and Jiang Xiaoyu spotted its presence almost instantly.

Is that the reverse scale?

Jiang Xiaoyu's previously gloomy mood instantly vanished, replaced by an intensely strong fighting spirit.

This scale might not be the reverse scale, but it seemed like this was the only chance left.

"Even if it costs me my life, I'm going to smash this scale of yours!"

Jiang Xiaoyu bit his tongue hard, using the pain to bring himself temporary clarity.

Then, with a determination to die trying, he rushed toward that spot.

The light of the Water Slash slowly solidified on the trident in his hand, looking particularly dazzling amidst the fiery red surroundings.

But as if sensing Jiang Xiaoyu's approach, the dragon's struggles suddenly intensified.

Simultaneously, scorching fire suddenly erupted from the fiery red scale, quickly igniting into blazing flames.

The Fire Elemental Dragon also violently broke free from Han Lie's restraint at that moment, then spat out a terrifying mouthful of flame toward Han Lie.

This was not Dragons Breath, but a mouthful of scorching magma!

Han Lie's expression changed when he saw this. He immediately protected himself but was still scalded by the magma, leaving his skin ripped and flesh torn.

However, the giant dragon did not pursue Han Lie; it quickly turned its head and looked down at Jiang Xiaoyu, who was rushing toward its chin.

It was angry. It felt that this ant had somehow discovered its vital spot!

Flames suddenly erupted from the gaps between all its scales, instantly engulfing Jiang Xiaoyu.

The water around Jiang Xiaoyu rapidly evaporated, and the resulting steam instantly vanished into nothingness.

He could see the giant dragon's mouth opening toward him, seemingly brewing some terrifying attack.

But he merely sighed softly.

His mana was depleted. Once all the surrounding water was incinerated into nothingness, it would be his end.

"What a pity, just a bit short..."
