81: Chapter 81 Lin Feng releases the Candle Dragon, everyone is stunned!

The cleanup was complete.

There were no more obstacles in the entire city.

Except for the remnant worms hidden deep underground.

According to standard procedure, it was time to send in the low-level troops to dig three feet deep and scavenge for treasures.

But Lin Feng had the system's full-map hack, so he didn't need to go through all that trouble.

"System, scan the city to see if there are any elemental cores."

"Ding! Radar scan complete!"

"No source crystals found!"

Upon hearing the system's report, Lin Feng felt slightly disappointed.

It seemed that expecting to get lucky every day wasn't very realistic.

Just as he shook his head and prepared to lead his troops toward the final core main city.

A few kilometers away, a roar from Zhao Tianao, so excited that his voice cracked, suddenly erupted!

"A Tier 7 source core!"

"I found a Tier 7 core!"

Accompanied by Zhao Tianao's shrill scream.

A violent energy tide suddenly swept over from the western urban area.

Lin Feng looked over at the sound.

He saw a dazzling metal-attribute crystal emerging in the center of the ruins that Zhao Tianao was responsible for clearing!

Judging solely by the ripples of laws oscillating in the air.

It was at least a top-tier divine artifact of Tier 7!

However.

The scene appeared very awkward.

Because this Tier 7 metal-attribute crystal wasn't buried in the ground.

Instead, it had been swallowed whole by a Tier 7 Diamond Giant Scorpion!

The fat piece of meat that was about to be eaten had actually been snatched away by a native wild monster.

This was quite troublesome.

The strongest troops under Zhao Tianao were just a Tier 5 Wyvern and a Tier 6 Ice Lizard.

Trying to rely on these two pieces of junk to take on a Tier 7 overlord was simply like throwing eggs against a rock.

This Diamond Giant Scorpion was covered in a layer of bronze-colored heavy armor, emitting a cold metallic luster.

Its defensive power was absolutely several times harder than ten-thousand-year cold iron.

The core was right in its belly.

What was most infuriating was that.

This giant scorpion was frantically absorbing the law power inside the crystal!

According to Lin Feng's perception, this metal-attribute crystal was definitely a rare treasure of Tier 8 in the past.

It was just a pity that this beast had sucked away a portion of its source, causing its quality to drop to Tier 7.

If left unchecked, once the crystal was completely drained, this giant scorpion would definitely be able to advance into a Tier 8 world-destroying demon on the spot!

After discovering the treasure, Zhao Tianao was so excited that he shouted, but the very next second, he miserably discovered that he couldn't break the opponent's defense at all.

The five-fold heavenly lightning spat out by the Tier 5 Wyvern didn't even leave a mark on the bronze-colored armor.

The Tier 6 Ice Lizard had it even worse; it rushed up to bite, but was completely bounced off.

Instead, it was pierced through by the giant scorpion's backhand tail strike.

The potent poison instantly spread throughout its whole body.

The Tier 6 Ice Lizard foamed at the mouth on the spot and was on the verge of death.

Terrified, Zhao Tianao hurriedly recalled it to his exclusive territory and spent a fortune in divine power to buy medicine to save its life.

"This..."

"What should we do?"

Facing such an insane defense, Zhou Rui and Wu Ke were also completely stunned.

Even adding up the military forces of all four people, they couldn't find a single existence capable of going toe-to-toe with a Tier 7 overlord.

If they really tried to force a group fight, the outcome would definitely be the same as Zhao Tianao's lizard: getting pierced through.

However, a whole Tier 7 metal-attribute core was right in front of them; who could bear to give it up?

"The situation is too tricky. How about we just retreat?"

Cui Ming swallowed his saliva and started to back out in the communication channel.

No one had expected that the Tier 7 treasure would be inside a living creature's stomach; this was just too awkward.

"Sigh! That's the only way!" Zhao Tianao gritted his teeth, his face full of unwillingness.

Watching a rare treasure slip away was more painful than killing him, but if they couldn't beat it, they couldn't beat it.

At least there was still the final core main city left to search; perhaps there were other good items hidden inside.

"Back off, let me handle this."

Just as the three of them were preparing to give up resistance and gather their forces to push the last city.

Lin Feng suddenly spoke up in the communication channel.

"You? Are you crazy!"

"This is a real, bona fide Tier 7 overlord!"

"Even if you have a Tier 6 mutant beast hidden, you absolutely cannot overcome the suppression of an entire major rank!"

Zhao Tianao and Zhou Rui mocked him simultaneously.

The two sang in harmony, their tones full of contempt and disdain.

In their eyes, even if Lin Feng had just advanced to Tier 6, it was absolutely impossible for him to solo a Tier 7 native.

However.

Who said Lin Feng only had Tier 6 divine beasts in his hands?

"Zhulong, time to work."

Inside the Chaos Territory.

Lin Feng gathered a majestic giant face in the firmament and issued a cold command.

Deep within the pitch-black, top-grade mineral vein.

The Zhulong suddenly opened its eyes.

In an instant, the darkness receded, and tens of thousands of kilometers around were as bright as day!

"I obey the Master's decree!"

The Zhulong's massive body soared into the sky, transforming into a streak of crimson lightning that tore through the void.

Along the trajectory of its flight, even time became incredibly sluggish.

The speed was extreme!

In just two breaths of time.

A crimson divine dragon over a hundred thousand meters long appeared in the sky, coiling steadily above the ruined city!

"A Tier 7 creature!"

"This! How is this possible!"

Zhao Tianao screamed, his voice cracking in terror, his eyeballs nearly popping out of their sockets.

With the arrival of the Zhulong.

The entire city below seemed to have been hit with a slow-motion button.

Under the suppression of a 70% time-dilation field.

Even water droplets falling in mid-air were so slow that they seemed to be suspended in mid-air!

Zhao Tianao never dreamed that a freshman who had just started his first year would actually possess a Tier 7 divine beast!

Under the absolute suppression of time dilation.

Zhao Tianao's Tier 5 Wyvern became directly paralyzed, and even the action of flapping its wings was as slow as a slideshow.

The Diamond Giant Scorpion below was a Tier 7 overlord, after all.

It had a certain resistance to the law of time dilation.

But its movement speed was still forcibly cut by more than half.

In this turtle-speed state, its proud poisonous sting assault couldn't even touch anyone.

Although its speed had dropped.

This beast's most monstrous aspect remained its defensive power.

Its bronze-colored metallic armor was practically a sentient tortoise shell.

If they didn't smash the shell, they wouldn't be able to get the crystal in its belly at all.

Lin Feng couldn't release the Taotie.

Once this blockhead opened its mouth, it would absolutely chew up and swallow the elemental crystal along with everything else.

This was a necessity for completing the laws of heaven and earth and absolutely could not be wasted.

Facing such a tough nut to crack.

Lin Feng already had a countermeasure.

"Phoenix, prepare the ultimate self-detonation."

The order was issued.

Receiving the divine decree, the Phoenix didn't hesitate at all.

It flew directly above the giant scorpion.

The fire-attribute source within its body began to run wild and boil frantically.

Immediately after, all the Undying Karma Fire compressed and gathered inward at high speed.

The Phoenix's body became incredibly crystal clear, like a blood-red gemstone about to melt!

A heaven-destroying and earth-shattering aura of destruction was brewing frantically high in the sky!

"Holy shit! Divine Dragon! Run back quickly!"

Zhao Tianao instantly understood Lin Feng's crazy tactic.

Terrified out of his wits, he shrieked in terror into the communicator at the top of his lungs.
