549: Chapter 549 The Strange Giant Dragon!

Two days later.

Traveling at full speed, Nie Ning and his party finally found Capybara.

Glancing at Capybara and the Succubus, a look of astonishment appeared on Nie Ning's face.

Demonic creatures such as Capybara were all carrying injuries, and even the Abyss Succubus beside them was no exception. The entire group had shrunk by more than half compared to before.

Clearly, these two had previously attempted to subjugate the powerful entity in the aquatic world.

But judging by the current state of affairs, it was highly probable they had failed, and having no other choice, they had remembered them.

Nie Ning put on a look of surprise. "Oh my, how did you guys get hurt so badly? Your harvest must be very bountiful, right?"

The Abyss Succubus's expression turned slightly cold. With her arms crossed over her chest, the gaze she directed at Nie Ning carried intense murderous intent.

"Watch that stinking mouth of yours. Don't think that having a charlatan around can protect you for a lifetime. There will come a time when you're left alone, and you'd better be careful when that happens."

Facing the Succubus's threat, Nie Ning couldn't care less.

They couldn't do anything to him even here; if the Abyss Succubus dared to go to the Wizard World, wouldn't she be captured and used as a public toilet?

"Then should I leave?"

Hearing this, Capybara immediately stepped forward to mediate. "We're all our own people, there's no need to make things this tense. Business comes first."

Of course, he was also extremely displeased with Nie Ning, this foul-mouthed fellow.

But they still needed the Tier 9 divine professional to help, so even if they wanted to punish Nie Ning, they would have to wait until after taking down that big guy.

The Abyss Succubus shot Nie Ning a cold glance, then turned around and stopped looking at him.

As for Nie Ning, he followed suit, curled his lips, and turned around.

The Abyss Succubus possessed incomparably powerful Spiritual Power and naturally sensed Nie Ning's appearance at that moment, shaking with anger.

Ever since she advanced to Tier 9 and lorded over the Abyss for so long, when had she ever been mocked like this!

'Damned Wizard World bug!'

Isidor glanced at Nie Ning, unable to suppress the urge to slap him to death with a single palm.

This fellow wasn't very strong, but his ability to offend people was top-notch. Was he afraid that he wouldn't be besieged by these two Tier 9 powerhouses...

...

After discussing with Capybara, the group immediately rushed to the place where they had discovered the powerful creature.

An island!

However, although it was an island, it was only about twenty kilometers in overall size.

Furthermore, the island was black, composed of some kind of crystal-like material.

There were no living creatures or plants on it, only a small hill roughly two hundred meters tall.

Nie Ning frowned slightly, his gaze looking toward the sea below, where he could faintly see some huge black shadows swimming in the ocean.

"Previously, it was up there that we encountered a bizarre dragon-like creature glowing with a silvery metallic luster."

Capybara said, pointing to the peak of the small hill on the island.

"A dragon?"

Nie Ning's eyebrows twitched slightly.

In this world, dragons were by no means low-level creatures; they were formidable species whose origins were basically above Tier 7.

Of course, the dragons of this world belonged to giant dragons, not the divine dragon-like creatures in his memories.

But even so, it still couldn't conceal the formidable might of giant dragons.

Just looking at Louisa from back then, even an impure-blooded dragon could blow a Tier 8 powerhouse dizzy with a single breath of dragon breath.

Although they were still no match for Tier 8 powerhouses, being able to achieve this was enough to prove the formidable nature of giant dragon creatures.

If the one encountered this time really was a Tier 9 giant dragon, then it was well within reason that these people couldn't beat it.

"Where did the dragon you mentioned hide?"

Nie Ning glanced toward the peak of the mountain, but didn't see the figure of the giant dragon.

"It should have gone hunting."

As Capybara's voice fell, the three Tier 9 powerhouses simultaneously raised their heads and looked into the distance.

Seeing this, Nie Ning looked up as well.

He saw a sharp warhead shimmering with a silvery metallic luster, spewing blue flames as it rushed toward their direction.

"Holy crap, what is that thing?"

Nie Ning looked at the incoming missile, dumbfounded for a moment.

Didn't they fail to develop civilization? Then where did this missile come from?

"That is the bizarre giant dragon I mentioned!"

Capybara said in a deep voice.

The 'missile' was extremely fast, arriving near the island in the blink of an eye.

Seeming to sense the presence of Nie Ning and the others, the 'missile' shot straight toward them.

For a moment, everyone's expressions turned solemn. Nie Ning stealthily protected everyone by putting them in front of him.

Seeing the 'missile' arrive, Isidor did not back down, preparing to test the opponent's strength first.

Isidor immediately reached out with a wave of his hand, and a black staff appeared in his palm.

Exuberant Spiritual Power suddenly erupted, and the sea water below rapidly transformed into black, raising a barrier of black crystals to block in front of everyone.

'Bang!'

The power of the 'missile' exceeded Isidor's expectations.

The erected crystals didn't even hold for a single second before being breached by the 'missile'.

Fortunately, Isidor reacted quickly; with a wave of his hand, Nie Ning and the others were carried aside by a force to dodge the attack.

As for the Succubus and her group, they evidently had anticipated this long ago and had already dodged to the other side in advance.

The 'missile' didn't linger; carrying blue flames, it plunged headfirst into the seawater, and the generated shockwave even displaced the seawater within a kilometer, leaving a massive whirlpool on the surface of the sea.

Everyone's line of sight focused on the whirlpool, but at this moment, a formidable energy fluctuation came from the seabed on the other side.

Immediately following, under Nie Ning's astonished gaze, a blue flame ray shot out from the seabed, tearing apart more than a dozen fiends and demons who hadn't managed to dodge in time.

Among them was even a Tier 8 fiend!

Just then, the sea surface exploded, and a peculiar bizarre giant dragon rushed out from the seabed.

Unlike conventional giant dragons, this bizarre giant dragon had a slightly sharp dragon head, its forelimbs and hindlimbs were of roughly equal length, and its sharp claws looked as if they were wearing metal bracers.

Its whole body had a dark silver luster with no scales at all, and its surface was wrapped in a layer of silver stratum corneum.

Even more astonishing were its wings.

The sides of the wings were supported by stout joints, with six sharp triangular cones—thin at the front and thick at the rear—forming the double wings, and the tail ends emitted blue light spots.

Rather than wings, they looked more like some kind of mechanical propulsion device.

The reason it looked like a missile earlier was because its wings folded together to cover most of its body, with deep blue flames spewing from the tail ends of the wings.

Even Nie Ning was shocked by the appearance of the giant dragon before him.

One word: handsome!

At this moment, the bizarre giant dragon's double wings rotated, aiming the tail ends of the wings at the crowd.

Amidst everyone's astonished gazes, six huge blue energy balls spewed from the tail ends of the wings, shooting toward the direction where the crowd was located.

Seeing this, Isidor gently flicked his right hand, and Nie Ning along with everyone from the church had already arrived several thousand meters away.

As for the fiends and demons, they had clearly seen this scene before and had long since scattered, fleeing toward the rear.

Capybara and the Abyss Succubus knew the terrifying power of the bizarre giant dragon and didn't dare to take the dragon's attack head-on at all, only being able to flash and dodge to both sides.
