Dragon Tamer

Chapter 551: Chapter 553 Unable to Leave the Main Force
 

“Do they only wake up when accidentally ingested?” Zhu Minglang asked.

“No, no, no, they only choose to sleep when there’s not enough food in order to preserve their strength and prevent infighting. Once there is sufficient food around and their numbers are large enough, they don’t need to camouflage themselves. They will start foraging like a swarm of locusts, turning all living things into food for their gnawing!!” Mr. Jinli emphasized.

“But why don’t they directly attack the army?” Hao Ye said.

“This means the number of Mosquito Dragons is not yet enough to confront our army. But those who are patrolling alone, separated from the group, or falling behind will all be devoured by them!” Zhu Minglang realized, feeling an intense fear on further thought.

Having said this, Zhu Minglang suddenly heard a “buzz, buzz, buzz” sound, faint as if a group of bees was in a nearby flower bed.

Zhu Minglang focused his vision, and used the Dragon Shepherd’s insight to barely make out a wisp of gray dust drifting eerily out of the ridge and flying towards himself, Zi Miaozhu, and Hao Ye!

It was Mosquito Dragons, even more than those that had emerged from the bodies of the Red Date Beasts!!

“Not good, they’re planning to eat you. They didn’t act against you just now because they weren’t sure they could take you, Zhu Minglang. Now they’ve called for more of their kin!!” Mr. Jinli screamed, diving back behind Zhu Minglang at once, transforming into an embroidery!

Doubled in number from before!

Two to three thousand Mosquito Dragons, which at a glance seemed no different from a gray gauze curtain. Even as it drifted head-on, ordinary people traveling on the road wouldn’t take a second glance, but right now Zhu Minglang felt as if he had been doused with a bucket of cold water.

Earlier, they were wary of Zhu Minglang, who, after all, was in the King-Level Realm, so after eating the Date-red Horse Beasts, they immediately burrowed into the ridges.

They woke other slumbering Mosquito Dragons, and now the Mosquito Dragon Army was confident they could eat him—they were coming!!

“We can’t separate from the main force; hurry back!” Zhu Minglang, along with Zi Miaozhu and Hao Ye, turned and ran!

“The Sword First and other disciples are up ahead.”

…

On the ridge, the three of them ran like mad.

The main force was actually within sight, just two to three miles away, but those few miles felt terrifying…

“Sword First, what are they doing, having a race?” a puzzled Sword Sect Swordsman from the Yaoshan Sword Sect asked.

The Yaoshan Sword Sect’s team of forty to fifty people saw the three of them sprinting, but could see nothing chasing after them, so they were all stunned.

“Run, disciples, run!!” Hao Ye shouted at the top of his lungs while running.

“Quick, into the main force, get back!” Zi Miaozhu shouted, casting aside any sense of grace.

Hao Ye and Zi Miaozhu had a certain influence in the Yaoshan Sword Sect, so soon some of the disciples started running as well.

If even Hao Ye and Zi Miaozhu feared something, they definitely wouldn’t stand a chance against it.

But some were followers of the Sword First, Ye Yang.

If Sword First Ye Yang did not run, they felt it improper to move.

“Hmm, getting panicked over a little matter like this, what a disgrace,” Sword First Ye Yang said contemptuously as he flung his sleeve back, his gaze arrogantly fixed on what lay behind the three runners.

He wanted to see for himself what had frightened the three of them out of their wits.

Ye Yang focused his eyes on the area behind Zhu Minglang, but only saw some dust flying about. He was about to mock Zhu Minglang when suddenly his sheathed sword began to tremble violently, almost as if it were trying to break free from the scabbard on its own!

Sword First Ye Yang’s sword was no ordinary blade; it had a special warning inscription infused into it. When danger approached, the sword would lightly tremble, and the intensity of the vibration indicated the level of danger!

“Thud thud thud thud thud!!!!!!”

Ever since Ye Yangjian First got this sword, he hadn’t seen it tremble so fiercely, the sheath was about to be shattered by it.

When Ye Yangjian First looked at the so-called “sandstorm” again, he finally realized what it was, suddenly drew his sword, but the trembling was so severe that it made his own arm shake violently!

“Run, all of you run!” Ye Yangjian First suddenly yelled at the Sword Masters beside him.

The Sword Masters hadn’t fully reacted yet. While they were still dazed, suddenly a terrifying breath of death struck, and the bodies of the four Sword Masters standing in front of Ye Yangjian First began “dissolving”!

“Damn it, you monstrous creatures, die!!” Ye Yangjian First roared in fury.

He drew his sword angrily and chopped at those Horsefly Dragons.

Ye Yangjian First was of King Level, and he believed his Sword Territory was second to none, not even lesser than Zhu Xuehen; the Sword Power he unleashed in his rage was so domineering it seemed as though it could swallow mountains and rivers!

However, his King-level sword was utterly unable to stop those creatures which swarmed like mosquitos. The four disciples were now left with nothing but their boots…

Ye Yangjian First couldn’t believe it as his pupils dilated with shock, and at the same time, a sharp pain emanated from his left hand, the hand that wasn’t holding the sword was also dissolving!!

Something was gnawing at him, and the speed of the gnawing was incredibly fast; in the blink of an eye, Ye Yangjian First’s left hand was reduced to nothing but an arm skeleton, and what was more terrifying was that these creatures didn’t even spare the bones!!

It was only then that Ye Yangjian First realized those grey horseflies were not mere flies or mosquitos. Enduring the pain, he suddenly unleashed a huge Bagua Sword Qi, using it to keep the Horsefly Dragons outside of the Bagua Sword Qi, buying time for other Sword Masters to escape.

“Ye Yangjian First!” shouted several Great Swordsmasters who had run hundreds of meters away but couldn’t resist looking back.

“Run!!!!” Ye Yangjian First had realized that he could no longer get away.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The Bagua Sword Qi might have seemed grand and massive, like a mountain barrier, but for those Horsefly Dragons, it was no different than a sheet of thin paper.

Ye Yangjian First, driven by anger, raised his sword and began slashing in a flurry, killing some of the Horsefly Dragons, but the Horsefly Dragons had already started to gnaw away at his legs.

“Ye Yangjian First!”

A few disciples saw Ye Yangjian First’s legs bloodied and blurry, intending to turn back and assist, but were grabbed by Zhu Minglang, who then dragged them away from the place.

“We can’t leave him to die!”

“Idiots, what is Ye Yang’s Cultivation Base? If he can’t survive, can you?!” Zhu Minglang scolded.

Ye Yangjian First continued to swing his sword. His body dissolved slower than others because the Horsefly Dragons feared the Sword Power he unleashed. It could be seen that many Horsefly Dragons died under his sword qi, yet his feet were gnawed to the bone!

The sword light burst continuously, and only after hundreds of Horsefly Dragons miserably perished under Ye Yang’s sword did they realize that Ye Yang’s body was gone… As he was killing those Horsefly Dragons, the others were gnawing at him!

The departing army wasn’t far away, and gradually some became aware of what was happening. They knew nothing of what had transpired, only seeing all members of the Yaoshan Sword Sect running desperately towards the temporary camp as if they had encountered abyssal demons, while not far away, the sword qi churned like surging waves…

“Such a powerful Sword Master!”

“This Sword Qi is so fierce, even the Dragon King might not withstand it, is it Ye Yangjian First??”

“What is he chopping at?”

What everyone noticed was merely a King-level Sword Master unleashing those majestic strikes in his dying moments.

But moments later, people were horrified to discover.

Such a formidable Sword Master, only one arm was left!!
