104: Chapter 104 Are you even going to tear down the nest?
Xu Qin instinctively took three steps back, his mouth agape, looking up at this thing.
Its wingspan was thirty meters; when spread, it almost blocked out half the sky above the Combat Readiness Platform.
Under the illumination of soul fire, the massive skeletal frame of the dragon glowed with a faint blue light.
Xu Qin swallowed hard and opened the panel.
[Bone Dragon]

Soul Energy Supply: Can restore battle-damaged bones by consuming large amounts of soul energy (every 1000 soul energy restores 15% of max HP).
After reading the panel information, Xu Qin trembled with excitement.
Not only were all the living abilities inherited, but it also gained two additional Undead Race traits.
"Good heavens... is this the stat block for a +0?"
He took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement.
"Don't rush, there should be more surprises."
As he said this, Xu Qin strode toward the Hall of Valor, checking the promotion panel as well.
[Note: The current promotion platform cannot promote the Bone Dragon]
[Condition: Requires 'Dragon Blood Crystal' for modification.]
[Current Inventory: 0]
Eh?
Dragon Blood Crystal.
What is this now?
Xu Qin was stunned.
Dragon Blood Crystal?
He opened his inventory and looked through the supplies he had just harvested.
Nothing...
It seemed this item didn't drop from the dragon itself.
"Could it have dropped inside the nest?"
He recalled the scene inside the nest, but he didn't seem to see this item there either.
"Perhaps this Dragon Blood Crystal is only found in the main nest."
Xu Qin stroked his chin.
"That means I have to dig through his entire nest to find it."
"Fine, no rush."
First, finish reviving the dragons.
Xu Qin returned to the Resurrection Platform and threw in two more dragon skeletons.
That's right, he didn't dare revive all 51, or the excess would be hard to explain.
Just three for now to get the point across.
Soon, the second and third Bone Dragons squeezed out from the Resurrection Platform one after another.
The three Bone Dragons folded their bone wings and stood side-by-side on the Combat Readiness Platform.
The Combat Readiness Platform groaned under the unbearable weight.
"Don't stand together! Spread out a bit!" Xu Qin quickly ordered.
The three dragons crawled apart.
Xu Qin immediately opened the Ore Spirit enhancement menu.
He had one million Ore Spirit on hand.
"Start enhancement!"
The Ore Spirit poured in.
+10.
+20.
...
"Hmm?"
Xu Qin noticed the interface didn't pop up any limit notification.
So he kept clicking.
+30.
+50.
Still nothing?
Keep going!
+80.
+100!
Ding!
[Reached current quality enhancement limit: +100]
"What the hell?"
Xu Qin was shocked.
You have to know, other units could only be enhanced up to +20 in a day.
Yet the dragon could actually be enhanced to +100?
He opened the description.
[Legendary Skeletal - Ore Spirit enhancement limit is +100, cooldown time 24 hours.]
"Awesome! So it's tied to their size."
Xu Qin nodded.
"That makes sense, after all, they are special unit bones, so a bigger appetite is reasonable."
However, being able to reach +100 on the first day was terrifying enough.
He opened the panel after the +100 enhancement.
[Bone Dragon +100]
Attack: 5150
Defense: 1690
HP: 285000
Xu Qin looked at these numbers, his mouth twitching.
Plus the 50% all-attribute bonus from the Lords Protection within 800 meters of the Floating City...
the actual HP was 427,000.
Attack power was 7,700.
"James, oh James."
Xu Qin sat back on the bone throne, crossing his legs.
"You'd better not run away."
Then, he turned and ordered Tian Ming.
"Tian Ming, send out one thousand Troglodytes to start dismantling the dragon nest now. Dig the foundation down thirty meters and recover all materials."
"Also, have fifty thousand Troglodytes dig a pit right next to the nest. At least twenty meters deep, and the wider the area, the better."
"You watch it personally, it must be fast!"
"Yes!"
Tian Ming accepted the order and commanded the fifty thousand Troglodytes to pour out, starting to dig the ground.
Sand and soil flew, and the ground collapsed.
...
Twelve minutes later.
The Skeleton Vulture sent back a reconnaissance report.
[Two dragons are approaching at high speed, about fifteen kilometers from the territory, expected to arrive in eight minutes.]
Xu Qin jumped up from the bone throne.
"Good! As long as you dare to come."
Eight minutes later.
Two black dots appeared in the sky.
Getting closer and closer.
Xu Qin stood on the Watchtower, watching the two dragons diving at full speed.
He opened the channel to check the chat history.
Sure enough, James was still cursing.
James · Dragon Race: Xu Qin! I see you!
James · Dragon Race: You're dead!
Xu Qin didn't reply.
He looked at the chat record and said with a smile:
"This guy clearly hasn't suffered any losses. If it were me and I lost three dragons, I would have run away already."
In the distance, James, riding on the back of a dragon, felt his vision go dark.
Because he not only saw the Floating City hovering above his nest, but also saw a nest that had been completely ruined.
That was a nest that had only been built for half a month.
At this moment, thousands of short undead were buried in the work of dismantling the nest.
"Are you going to tear down the nest too?!"
James raged on the dragon's back.
"Are you even human?!"
On the Floating City, Xu Qin couldn't hear what James was grumbling about.
He only knew that a great battle was about to break out.
Sure enough, the next second,
James let out a heart-wrenching roar.
"Kill him!"
Roar!!!
The two dragons, splitting into left and right wings, launched a Charge toward the Floating City simultaneously.
Just as the sharp claws of the two dragons were about to touch the shield...
Roar!!!
From the bottom of the Floating City, three bone-white figures soared into the sky.
The three Bone Dragons burst from the ground.
Their bodies were wrapped in the orange light of a shield, and their bone wings spread out, blocking the sky.
Two of them lunged straight at the dragon on the left wing where James was.
The third one crashed into the one on the right wing.
James's two dragons, the moment they saw the three skeletal members of their own kind appear before them, clearly faltered in their movements.
A sense of crisis and fear, stemming from racial instinct, instantly swept through their entire bodies.
Undead kin had a natural mental suppression effect on living dragons.
The offensive momentum of the two dragons instantly weakened by thirty percent.
And Bone Dragons didn't have such a thing as morale.
Boom!!!
The two Bone Dragons on the left opened their mouths simultaneously, and faint blue soul fire poured out.
4500 points of shadow damage, the two beams overlapping.
James's left-wing dragon let out a miserable shriek, the scales on its body cracking from the burning soul fire.
The dragon on the right wing also let out a shrill roar at the same time.
Because the third Bone Dragon had crashed directly into it, its bone claws hooking into the base of the other's wing, dragging it downward.
James's face was livid on the dragon's back.
Three Bone Dragons.
Not only were they as agile as living ones, but they were clearly stronger in momentum.
And his two dragons, due to the influence of the Fear of the Dead, had significantly decreased attack power.
With one rising and the other falling, the situation became one-sided.
Only at this moment did James finally calm down.
I can't keep fighting, I can't win!
"Retreat!"
He pulled the reins, ordering the dragons to turn around.
