BXBX NOVEL Chapter 143 Snake And The Dragon
After the death of the Sky Squirrel, Alex heard the familiar notification from the system.
[You killed a Legendary-class 3-Star Level 101 Sky Squirrel, +1,000,000 experience points.]
Alex waved his hand and dismissed the notification before he turned his gaze at the dead Sky Squirrel under his feet.
"If you didn\'t try to eat me, you would probably still be alive at this moment. Oh, well, joke\'s on you, I guess."
Saying that, Alex used [Sacrifice] and got another 250 free attribute points.
After that, Alex left that place without looking back.
Continuing his search for more Legendary-class monsters, Alex once again activated [Fortune].
As he did that, for some reason, Alex thought about the dragon that he first met back when his stats were still inadequate to fight it.
With a thoughtful look, he muttered, "That dragon actually doesn\'t look that strong if I think about it now. I wonder If I\'ll ever see it again."
As if on cue, a familiar cry sounded in the distance.
Alex looked in the direction where the sound came from and narrowed his eyes.
"... A dragon?"
That\'s right.
In the distance, what Alex saw is the familiar figure of a dragon that he first saw a few hours earlier.
"What is it doing?"
From where he\'s standing, Alex can see that the dragon seems to be looking at the ground below it with anger.
Then suddenly, the dragon breathed fire from its mouth.
Seeing that, Alex raised an eyebrow, "Is it fighting with something?"
Fueled by curiosity, Alex decided to come closer to see what\'s happening with the dragon.
When he got near, Alex finally saw the real situation around the dragon.
On the ground, a black snake with a pair of menacing eyes was staring at the dragon in the air with a sinister gaze.
Hiss~
Sneering at the dragon, the black snake that\'s about 16 meters long and has a thickness of 7 meters, opens its mouth and spits out venom.
The venom flew in the air and rapidly approached the dragon in the sky.
Seeing the incoming attack, instead of evading, the dragon opened its mouth and breathed fire on it.
Psssh!
Bright red fire with a tinge of blue came out of the dragon\'s mouth, burning the snake\'s venom, evaporating it.
As the dragon was busy burning the snake\'s attack, the snake curled around itself and suddenly jumped like a spring!
Hiss~!
Since the area covered by the fire breath was too large, the dragon didn\'t see the snake\'s movements.
By the time it stopped breathing fire and saw the snake, it was already right in front of it, snarling and showing its fangs.
The dragon was surprised by the snake\'s sudden appearance and hurriedly flapped its wings in an attempt to fly away.
But it was already too late.
The snake bit the dragon on the shoulder and started wrapping its body around the dragon.
The dragon tried to shake the snake off its body but it was to no avail.
From the snake\'s movements, it can be seen that it seems experienced in hunting dragons.
The moment the dragon started struggling, the snake that was wrapping itself on the dragon\'s body tightened its hold, forcing the dragon to stop its movements.
Once that was done, the snake crawled up to be face to face with the dragon, looking at it with playful eyes.
Hiss~
The snake teased the dragon, hissing at it again and again, mocking it.
The dragon was furious from all that and tried to escape from the snake\'s grasps harder.
But just like before, it was all just a futile attempt.
At this point, the snake also felt that its hold onto the dragon is also starting to loosen, albeit slightly.
Because of that, the snake has finally decided to end the hunt.
Baring its sharp fangs, the snake lunged onto the dragon to bite it.
…
In the distance, when Alex saw that, he didn\'t hesitate to rush forward and throw a fireball at the dragon and snake.
"[Fireball]!"
Whoosh!
Boom!
Even though fireball is just a D-rank skill, Alex\'s high intelligence stats is enough for it to cause great damage to the dragon and the snake.
Kriiiieee!
Roarrrr!
Both the snake and the dragon let out cries of pain and the snake finally broke away from the dragon.
Then turning its eyes to the direction where the attack came from, it locked its eyes on Alex, who\'s the sole being within the 10 kilometers radius.
Hiss!
The snake stared at Alex with its reptile eyes, full of hatred.
Seeing that, Alex raised an eyebrow and said, "What? Are you mad at me?"
Chuckling, he then said, "If you\'re mad, then come over here!"
The snake can clearly understand Alex\'s words and it grew furious from his provocation.
Hiss!
Without hesitation, the snake decided to end the life of this two-legged insect.
At the same time, the dragon has also already stabilized itself after being strangled by the snake and hit by Alex with a fireball.
Grrrr…
Just like the snake, it turned in the direction where Alex was standing and roared loudly.
ROARRR!
Alex looked at the two approaching humongous monsters and a smile can\'t help but crept up his face.
With a smirk, he said, "Ha! It seems like my trial here is about to come to an end, huh!"
Alex\'s eyes that are looking at the approaching monsters can\'t help but start shining brightly when he thinks of that.
Alex realized that, after he left the tower, he would be already at Tier-2 with a terrifyingly high stats.
Just thinking of it was enough to make Alex excited!
So, rubbing his hand together, Alex also started moving forward.
"Well then, time to end this game!"
Boom!
Launching forward, Alex arrived in front of the furious snake first and just threw a casual punch at it.
Boom!
Suddenly, the sound of a loud clap echoed everywhere, and the next second, the body of the snake could be seen just flying backwards!
Crash!
The snake\'s body landed on the sandy ground and on its body, a bloody hole can clearly be seen.
Next, Alex turned his eyes to the dragon in the sky and said, "You\'re next!"
Noticing the contempt in Alex\'s eyes, the dragon was further maddened.
"ROOOAAAR!"
But Alex didn\'t care about that.
He jumped into the air and appeared above the dragon in just an instant.
With a smile on his face, Alex said, "Go down!"
After saying that, Alex suddenly hammered down his hands at the head of the dragon before it even get the chance to respond!
Boom!
Like a meteor falling down from the sky, the dragon fell into the ground and caused a loud explosion in the sand.
A few seconds later, Alex also landed and looked at the spots where the two monsters crashed.
"Hmm, I still didn\'t get the kill notification so, I guess they are still not dead."
Saying that, Alex started approaching the nearest \'crash site\' where the snake fell.
But before he even got closer to it, he already heard the loud hissing sound from behind him.
Hurriedly, Alex turned around and was just in time to see the snake jumping out from under the sand with its mouth open.
"You sneaky worm!"
Alex immediately moved to the side to avoid the snake.
Then, Alex took the knife from his inventory and used [Energy Slash].
Alex just charged the knife with a thousand mana before he slashed it at the head of the snake.
Shiing!
The snake\'s head got split into two in the middle and black blood rained out of it.
[You killed a Legendary-class 3-Star Level 112 Killer Serpent, +1,100,200.]
Seeing that he successfully killed the snake, Alex turned his eyes at the dragon that had also come back up at this time, looking at him.
The moment the dragon raised its head and met Alex\'s eyes, it saw the eyes that seemed to be staring down at a prey.
The dragon\'s pride got hurt and it can\'t allow this being to remain alive after insulting itself!
"ROAAAR!"
The dragon let out a loud cry and the red scales on its body gained a darker hue and a shiny look.
At the same time, two black horns grew on the dragon\'s forehead, making it look more intimidating.
After its transformation was done, the dragon turned its eyes back to Alex and swept its tail at him without saying a word.
Whoosh!
Seeing that, Alex jumped away and exclaimed, "Woah! You\'re really a beast. You have pride but no ethics!"
Saying that, Alex doesn\'t want to prolong his trial any longer.
So, holding the knife at the blade\'s tip, Alex threw it at the dragon.
When he attacked the dragon earlier, Alex already gauged the dragon\'s defense.
That\'s why when he threw the knife, Alex already expected it to end the life of the dragon.
However…
Ting!
A red barrier suddenly appeared covering the dragon, deflecting the knife.
Seeing that, Alex paused and said, "Hoo~, I guess that\'s the purpose of your transformation, huh."
