Monarch Of Time

Chapter 712 - 712 Wind Dragon?

The ʼDarkness Eagleʼ let out a painful screech as it tried to keep itself in the sky and fly forward, while a huge gash could be seen on its back near its left wing.

The wound was actually so deep, that even the eagleʼs bones could be seen clearly, and if the eagle hadnʼt moved to the side in the final moment, its heart would also have been slashed by the wind blade.

However, the eagle knew that if it stopped even for a moment, the monster inside this forest would send out another wind blade, and the eagle definitely wouldnʼt be able to survive a second attack.

The ʼDarkness Eagleʼsʼ intelligence wasnʼt any lower than that of a humanʼs. It already knew that the only reason it had managed to survive the first wind blade, was thanks to the Grand Elderʼs shield that had blocked more than 90 percent of the power behind the attack.

And yet, that ʼweakenedʼ wind blade had still been enough to pierce through the eagleʼs defenses, even after it had activated its natural ability that had raised its defense to the level of a middle rank 7 magic beast.

Indeed, there wasnʼt enough time for the entity inside the forest to send out another attack, before the ʼDarkness Eagleʼ flew past the forestʼs entrance at full speed!

It was only then that the inner court Elders and the disciples on the eagleʼs back finally heaved out a sigh of relief.

A few moments later, the Grand Elderʼs figure could be seen flying out of the forest as well, as it appeared on the ʼDarkness Eagleʼsʼ back as well.

The Grand Elder sat right next to Shun Long, and although there werenʼt any wounds on his body, from his pale face one could easily guess that blocking those 2 wind blades wasnʼt easy even for someone like him.

If he didnʼt have his wooden shield, the Grand Elder wasnʼt confident in blocking even a single one of those wind blades, despite the fact that he was a peak rank 9 Dao Emperor!

From this, one could guess how terrifying the strength of the entity inside that forest really was!

Turning around, the Grand Elder took a look at the forest behind him that was turning smaller and smaller in his eyes, before he said in a complaining and yet relieved tone

ʼʼWe were really unlucky this time. I was hoping we would have teleported closer to the Northern Sovereignʼs city, but we ended up in the Wind Dragonʼs forest instead...ʼʼ

As he finished speaking, the Grand Elder took a look at the old wooden shield in his hand, before he stored it back inside his spatial ring.

Although the projection of the shield had shattered after taking on the second wind blade, the wooden shield itself wasnʼt damaged in the slightest by the attack.

It was only its projection that was created by the Grand Elderʼs own qi that had been shattered from that second wind blade.

ʼʼWind dragon?ʼʼ

Shun Long asked in surprise as he looked at the Grand Elder.

Shun Long had clearly noticed the fear inside the Grand Elderʼs eyes as he looked at that forest, but his mind instantly focused on the words ʼWind dragonʼ!

Nodding seriously, the Grand Elder kept staring at the forest in the distance before he explained in a serious voice

ʼʼIndeed, inside that forest is a Wind dragon. No... it is more accurate to say that itʼs not really a true dragon but a ʼWind wyrmʼ instead!

However, even though itʼs not a true dragon, its strength is too terrifying and has reached the peak of rank 7 long ago. Although itʼs just a peak rank 7 magic beast, there are extremely few magic beasts who can fight against it on the same level.

As for Dao Emperors... even a peak Dao Emperor wonʼt be able to take more than few blows from that Wind wyrm without a star-rank weapon!ʼʼ

The Grand Elderʼs voice was solemn as he explained this while Shun Long nodded his head in understanding.

If there was a true dragon in the central region, most likely every peak power in this region would have done its best to hunt it down.

Dragons were exalted magic beasts, but even in the Immortal Dimension, only those dragons who came from the Dragon Realm or those who were protected by members of their senior generation would dare to stroll freely around the world.

Those few dragons who happened to be born without any protection, like Little Black, would either be hunted down and be enslaved, or they would be killed for their precious body parts.

As for those dragon sub-species like a ʼWind wyrmʼ, Shun Long knew that although they were considered to be rare magic beasts as well, their strength or the preciousness of their bodies were nowhere close to that of a real dragonʼs.

Of course, that was only when the wyrms were compared to actual ʼLegendary rankʼ magic beasts like real dragons.

In reality, even Bai Liuxianʼs peak rank 7 ʼHellfire crowʼ would only be at the same level as a Wind wyrm.

At the same time, Shun Long also understood why the Grand Elder seemed to have struggled so hard, that he was only able to take on 2 attacks from the Wind wyrm.

No matter how thin the wyrmʼs bloodline was, it still contained small hints of the bloodline of a real dragon.

Most likely, this Wind wyrm that was already at the peak of rank 7, had enough strength to fight off even an early rank 1 Sovereign realm expert!

The Grand Elder then took out a bottle of medicinal pills from his spatial ring, before he tossed a handful of pills inside the ʼDarkness Eagleʼsʼ mouth.

Although these pills werenʼt enough to fully heal the ʼDarkness Eagleʼsʼ injuries, they were still enough to stop its bleeding and allow the eagle to keep flying forward.

A moment later, as Shun Long kept staring at the huge forest behind him that had turned into a small dot that had almost disappeared into the distance, Little Blackʼs calm voice sounded inside his mind

ʼʼMaster, the beast core of the Wind wyrm is probably the only thing that can allow that panther to reach the rank 7.ʼʼ
