Chapter 23 Thunder and FireThe monster was seen crawling slowly. The barbarian entangled by his body had swollen limbs, bulging blood vessels, and an extremely hideous and painful face, but he had already lost his life. "Really boring." The hoarse voice sounded again. It coiled its body and opened its huge mouth, ready to swallow the "dish" in one gulp. Seeing a living person being swallowed, the crowd was shocked again, but at this moment they had no way to retreat and their minds were almost numb. "Rest in peace, Scar." "But this painful death is worthy of what you have done." Hart watched the men who had followed him for more than ten years die in humiliation, but he had no choice but to grit his teeth and pray that he could escape from here. There were drops of water on his head, and he couldn't help wiping them with his hands, but strangely, it didn't seem to be cold sweat, nor tears, but sweat from the heat.
"Just...why is it so hot in the cave?" There was a hint of doubt in his heart, but he had not realized it before because he was too busy. But now that I have come to my senses, I feel that the cave is like a big steamer, with waves of hot air coming from above my head. Hart looked up subconsciously—— Then he opened his mouth involuntarily. Suddenly, a huge monster over eight meters long appeared on the top of the rock wall. That's a dragon! What shocked him even more was that a terrifying yellow-white flame was brewing in the dragon's mouth, like a miniature sun, illuminating the entire mine as bright as day. Both humans and monsters looked up in surprise. Then came stupefaction. "caught you." A strange voice sounded above the mine. Cassius released the breath of fire that he had been brewing for so long in an instant, and in an instant, most of the energy in his body was drained out. "Extremely effective flame breath!" A pillar of blazing flames descended from the sky, its inner flame was dazzling white, while its outer flame was bright orange-red. "boom!" There was a loud bang, and the curled up monster let out a scream of pain. The blazing flames caused the air to distort, and it twisted its body in the raging flames, trying to escape. The hard scales that it was so proud of were instantly burned by the scorching flames and turned into a charred black.
"Despicable dragon!" "You are a shameful sneak attacker!" It struggled in the flames, roaring hoarsely. This terrifying breath lasted for several breaths until the monster slithered away into the darkness, then gradually stopped. "It's terrifying that he could withstand such a bullet." Casius stared at the dark corner of the mine and couldn't help but sigh. "Twin Dancing Lights!" Several rays of light shot out from the red dragon's claws, shooting in different directions and illuminating the dark corners of the mine. At once the entire interior of the mine was lit up, and the monster had no place to hide. And its body was fully revealed for the first time. The huge body was as much as seventeen or eighteen meters long, like a hybrid of a centipede and a crocodile. There are twelve pairs of legs densely packed on both sides of its body, which is intimidating. But at this time the monster was already in a miserable state, with large pieces of its scales being burned and large pieces of flesh and blood being charred. The red dragon stared at the monster intently, with a hint of enthusiasm on his face, as if he had encountered a strong enemy.

Its lightning breath can incinerate most creatures. Even stronger creatures will be strangled and swallowed alive by the Green-footed Dragon Snake." "A formidable opponent." This is what Cassius said about it. The monster, or rather the green-footed dragon snake, saw that its position was completely exposed, so it simply stopped hiding. "A young dragon sorcerer?" "It's really weird." The pair of snake-like eyes stared straight at the red dragon. In their eyes was not only the anger of being attacked, but also the hatred from deep in their blood. In ancient times long forgotten, giants and dragons waged a near-endless war. Legend has it that the Storm Giant created the first green-footed dragon snake as a weapon to fight against the dragons.
Therefore, the Green-footed Dragon Snakes still retain their natural hatred for the Dragon Clan, and their heritage also retains methods of dealing with giant dragons. Seeing that the enemy was seriously injured, Red Dragon decided to give him a relentless pursuit. "Scorching Ray" Rays of fire spewed out from the red dragon's mouth. Although the green-footed dragon snake was injured, it climbed quickly on its twelve legs, and its huge body appeared particularly flexible on the rock wall. He actually relied on his speed to move left and right and avoided two consecutive flame rays. But it was still hit by the third flame. The scorching flame rays caused its skin to be torn apart, making it scream in pain. The green-footed dragon snake became furious, raised its head, and dazzling lightning accumulated in its mouth. "Lightning Breath!" In an instant, the green-footed dragon snake exhaled lightning. Each of these lightning bolts is as thick as a bowl and can burn most creatures in an instant. It is far more powerful than a ring of witchcraft arrows fired by the red dragon. Faced with the lightning breath that attacked him instantly, Cassius knew he couldn't escape it completely, so he had to leap to the side to dodge it while using his metamagic expertise to cast spells instantly. "Instant shield spell!" An invisible magic shield appeared in front of the red dragon, blocking some of the lightning. But soon, the invisible magic shield could no longer suppress the violent lightning and shattered, and several lightning bolts hit the red dragon directly. Cassius felt a strong electric current passing through the scales, penetrating the surface of the skin and flowing through the body. The body suddenly felt severe pain, muscles twitched, and several scales were charred by the electric shock. Fortunately, the red dragon was born with a strong physique and managed to survive. If it were an ordinary human, they would have been injured all over their body or even burned to charcoal. "What a terrifying breath! If I were to take all of it, I'd probably be seriously injured." Feeling the slight twitching and pain in his muscles, Cassius couldn't help but licking his lips. There was a hint of excitement in Cassius' tone. "It's been a long time since I felt hurt." Since coming to this world, except for the hasty escape at the beginning, he rarely encountered enemies of equal strength. After all, the starting point of the red dragon has already exceeded the end point of most creatures. This is the first time he faces an opponent that makes him excited, which is rare.
