RNP I will finish Chapter 32.
I will finish Chapter 32.
Chen Yan cleared his throat and hugged the trembling, fat cat.
"Harley, in your eyes the two dragons are evenly matched and there is no clear winner, but in my eyes, one of them already has the upper hand, and it's only a matter of time before it wins."
Just then, the smoke and dust cleared, and the scene of the two dragons wielding their tail blades and fighting reappeared.
Chen Yan was referring to the battlefield.
Harley looked in the direction of his finger but couldn't tell which one he was referring to. Just as she was about to ask him for details, he spoke calmly.
"Look at this knife, it moves like a dragon, its body is like a ghost, and the cold light of the tail blade is faintly visible, just like a wisp of green smoke in the desert. It seems to be nowhere to be found, but in fact it goes straight to the sky."
"And look at the other one. Flames burst forth with each breath, its mouth and teeth glowing red. It is absorbing the embers and sparks drifting on the battlefield, silently merging them into its tail blade. Haven't you noticed that the luster of its tail blade has changed?"
Harley stared intently at the two dragon-slaying creatures for a long time, her brows furrowing and relaxing repeatedly. Just when Chen Yan thought he had been exposed, she suddenly clapped her hands, seemingly lost in thought.
"I get it! You mean that even though both dragons are frantically slashing down there without regard for their own energy expenditure, one of them is genuinely just attacking, while the other is holding back a powerful attack to decide the outcome?"
Chen Yan's heart, which had been in his throat, jumped back to normal.
"Yes, yes, you're right! I didn't realize you had such a talent for the katana!"
Harley was pleased with herself.
"That's right. If it weren't for the fact that my great-grandfather was an investigator, and my family wasn't strongly opposed to me becoming a hunter, I would have been the world's number one katana user long ago. There wouldn't be any need for the recommendation group in the New World!"
Chen Yan offered a few empty compliments, which only made Harley sigh and lament that she, a thoroughbred horse, hadn't met Chen Yan, her discerning mentor, sooner.
Hua Miao couldn't listen anymore.
"Chen Yan, are you blind..."
Before she could finish speaking, he covered her mouth again.
The two dragons in the sand pit had also reached their limit. Although their tail blades were covered with impurities and no longer sharp, neither of them gave up.
After catching their breath, they all chose to pour all their remaining strength into their tail blades, abandoning sophisticated techniques and ending the duel in the simplest and most brutal way.
The two dragons gripped the rocks beneath their feet, leaning forward and lowering their center of gravity. Their eyes were fixed on their opponent's vital points, their muscles tensed, and their tail blades trembled slightly. The air between the two dragons seemed to freeze.
The cat, held in Chen Yan's arms, suddenly froze. It broke free, jumped onto Chen Yan's head, and stared intently at the battlefield below.
Just as a wisp of sand fell away, both of the dragon's tails exerted force simultaneously, swinging their tail blades at an extremely fast speed.
As the tail blade passed by them, a splash of orange-red appeared, and with a whooshing sound, it slammed down on the unsuspecting Glavenus!
This strike definitely scores 80!
Their impurity-laden tail blades slammed into each other's skulls, and Chen Yan clearly heard the sound of their shells shattering.
Blood dripped down, and despite each of them having the other's tail blade pointed at their heads, neither of them moved or howled. They glared hatefully at each other's small eyes before collapsing to the ground together.
Harley frowned again upon seeing this.
"Chen Yan, didn't you say they could only win? They both look exhausted and collapsed..."
"You don't understand. This is the mutual respect between swordsmen. A worthy opponent to fight with all your might is more precious than anything else..."
"Flower Cat, aren't you right?"
The cat, which had been stunned for a long time, suddenly jumped up. It gestured with its paws, its expression fanatical, and it almost shouted.
"Yes, yes, yes! That's it! That's it!!!"
Chen Yan was startled by Hua Miao's reaction, but he was overjoyed because Hua Miao hadn't contradicted him and had even given him a rare compliment. Just as he was preparing to reward Hua Miao with a big meal that evening, a bubble suddenly appeared in his mind.
Unlike the pale white of the baby horned dinosaur with only a few blue bubbles, it was an incomparably pure blue from the inside out.
[Dragon Slayer issues a mission request: Good will prevail over evil!]
[We were both taught by the same father, so I can't break his moves! Father! Why didn't you tell me who was the strongest between me and my brother before you died!]
[Commission Rewards: Crimson Flame Pouch/Fire Cannon/Strong Fire Resistance/Mastery of Three Sword Techniques (Sweeping, Downward Slash, Thrust)/Iai Slash Blade]
Chen Yan's eyes twitched violently; a big job was about to begin.
The two people and the cat who left the Dragon Slayer battlefield were all somewhat silent.
The cat continued gesturing wildly as if possessed, and in its haste, it even grabbed its taut tail and swung it a few times.
The more it chopped, the happier it became, even more so than when it first ate the enormous, luxurious rice ball made with tuna, ham, and grilled meat.
"That's it! That's it!!"
If Chen Yan and Harley were to observe the erratic Flower Cat closely, they would likely notice that its swings were remarkably similar to the final strike it made before Zhanlong was exhausted.
But Chen Yan was focused on studying the mission of slaying the dragon.
No wonder the two dragons not only look almost identical, but they also use the same moves and have the same stubborn, unyielding temperament. It turns out they were born from the same dragon father.
Judging from the mission description, it seems that the task is to find a way to help the twin dragons determine which one is stronger.
Chen Yan glanced at the lavish mission rewards, any one of which would be extremely useful when facing Nergigante.
He swallowed hard and clenched his fist tightly.
"Alright, what your Dragon Father didn't finish, I, Chen Yan, will finish!"
Harley was also somewhat distracted. She would glance at the crossbow from time to time, and then steal a look at the katana on Chen Yan's back, her eyes full of envy.
Who hasn't dreamed of slaying a dragon?
A jumble of complex thoughts weighed on his mind, ultimately culminating in a somewhat forlorn sigh.
"If I had persisted just a little bit more back then, even just a tiny bit more, would things be different now...?"
Although no trace of Mrs. Blackhorn was found, everyone gained something, more or less.
They finally made their way back to the camp just as the sun was about to set.
Harley went in, then came out, then went in again, then came out again, then went in again...
"Did you encounter a bug?"
Chen Yan, who was standing behind her, squeezed in sideways, and one glance almost made him vomit blood.
The campsite, which was neat and tidy when I left this morning, has now been completely turned into a battlefield ruin by the little horned dragons.
The perfectly good animal skin tent was torn to shreds, the cotton from the quilt was scattered all over the ground, the piled firewood was rolling everywhere, and the sawdust and broken leaves made people cough. Even the stone stove and benches could not escape its wrath.
The phrase "the pot overturned and the stove collapsed, ruining the home" is not an exaggeration at all.
Harley still couldn't believe her eyes and kept going in and out of the doorway, encountering bugs, until she saw Chen Yan find the culprit from the ruins.
The little horned dinosaur that had destroyed its home was sleeping soundly.
Harley's anger surged to the top of her head. Just as she rolled up her sleeves, ready to give the little horned dragon a taste of human rage, she saw Chen Yan let out a soft sigh of relief.
He held the baby horned dinosaur, gently stroking its soft little head, his smile tender and indulgent.
"Thank goodness the little guy isn't hurt."
Harley's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason.
