CHAPTER 422: CHAPTER 369: DRAGON TRANSFORMATION

Chu Chen sat on the back of Shadow Kill, landing at the rear of the Undead Army.

He looked at the vast Undead Army, his eyes full of confidence.

At this moment, he seemed like a general on the battlefield, holding military power, arrogant and unstoppable.

However, when he saw the Guardian Beasts of Chu Tianyu and others, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

They had just been surrounded and killed by the beast horde, and now only about twenty people remained, with only ten capable of fighting. Moreover, those ten Guardian Beasts were all injured, able to exert less than sixty percent of their peak combat power.

With this level of strength, protecting Nirvana might be difficult.

Thinking of this, Chu Chen gritted his teeth, took out a section of lotus root from the Spatial Ring, and handed it to Chu Tianyu, saying, "This can heal the injuries and restore the Star Power of the Guardian Beasts. Distribute it to them."

Upon hearing this, Chu Tianyu quickly refused, "Absolutely not, how can we take your things?"

"Take it as I said. Only when your Guardian Beasts recover some strength can they better protect Nirvana. I don’t need to emphasize its importance, do I?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Tianyu no longer declined, and after receiving the lotus root, immediately distributed it to the other nine people.

The movements on Chu Chen’s side naturally caught the attention of the beast horde.

"Roar"

A deep roar came from the central area, and a large number of Star Beasts quickly gathered in the direction of the sound.

Upon hearing the roar, Chu Chen’s expression immediately became more solemn.

"Everyone, prepare for battle."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded with a heavy expression.

About half a quarter of an hour later, the two forces officially met.

The Star Beast side was composed of five major clans.

The first clan was the Two-Tailed Snow Foxes, numbering about eight hundred, with strength at the late Monarch Level.

The second clan was the Icefield Wind Wolves, numbering about seven hundred, similarly at the late Monarch Level, with forty percent reaching the Monarch-level Peak.

The third clan was the Icewind Yaks, numbering about five hundred, with fifty percent reaching the Monarch-level Peak.

The fourth clan was the Snow-Feathered Demon Eagles, numbering about three hundred, with sixty percent reaching the Monarch-level Peak.

The fifth clan was the Wind Snow Giant Bears, numbering only over a hundred, with eighty percent reaching the Monarch-level Peak.

Seeing this, Chu Chen’s expression became even more solemn. The power of the beast horde was extremely terrifying. Even with only two hundred slots to enter the Secret Realm, let alone five hundred, it might be difficult to seize the Key.

Chu Chen knew very well that winning this battle would be incredibly difficult, but retreating would mean no chance of victory. He had to take the initiative.

Under Chu Chen’s direction, Nirvana immediately controlled the Undead Army to charge straight at the beast horde.

The beast horde, witnessing the dense Undead Army, displayed a look of panic, and for a moment, they were stunned on the spot.

This gave the Undead Army an opportunity. They instantly charged into the beast horde, with miserable howls constantly arising within.

"Roar"

Angry roars came from the rear of the beast horde, waking them from their shock, and dense Elemental Power quickly gathered towards the beasts.

Various Skills fell like raindrops, and the Undead Army, unable to use Skills, could only withstand them physically.

"Boom boom boom"

Intense explosions rang out on the icefield, and the number of the Undead Army instantly decreased by ten percent.

Yet the Undead Army had no fear. Even with their numbers drastically reduced, their charge did not pause for a moment.

Just as the beast horde was indulging in a brief moment of joy, the Undead Army charged again.

The beast horde fell into chaos, with over a hundred Star Beasts dying in no time.

As the fallen Star Beasts, under the control of Nirvana, stood up again, they turned into Undead Army, attacking their former kin.

This transformation made the already chaotic beast horde even more frenzied, with their deaths continuing to rise.

Since the Undead Army was entangled with the beast horde, the beasts could not use large-scale Skill attacks and thus had to use single-target Skills to defeat them one by one.

Yet the number of the Undead Army was too great, each Star Beast faced six or seven Undead at once.

At this moment, more than three hundred Snow-Feathered Demon Eagles appeared in the sky, flying directly towards Chu Chen and others over the Undead Army.

Seeing this, Chu Chen said in a low voice, "Nirvana, summon the flying-type Undead as well."

Nirvana nodded, and the Beast Taming Bracelet emitted a white glow, with over a hundred bird corpses appearing beside it.

A hundred flying-type Undead took to the sky.

Chu Chen jumped off Shadow Kill’s back and said in a deep voice, "Those with flying-type Guardian Beasts, go up and fight. Don’t let the Snow-Feathered Demon Eagles break through."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded with a heavy expression.

Three injured flying-type Guardian Beasts followed the Undead into the sky to fight.

Seeing this, Chu Chen was speechless for a while, as the numerical and power disparity was too great. They were bound to lose the aerial battle.

It couldn’t be helped; there were too few flying-type Star Beasts, and Chu Chen’s Guardian Beasts were not adept at aerial combat. In these six days, he had only acquired these corpses.

Now, he could only hope that Shadow Kill and other beasts could hold off the Snow-Feathered Demon Eagles, buying time for the Undead Army.

A few breaths later, the aerial battle began, and in just a single encounter, several Undead fell from the sky.

Meanwhile, only two Snow-Feathered Demon Eagles suffered minor injuries.

Seeing this, Chu Chen’s face immediately darkened.

He raised his hand, summoning Feng Shuang and Cage.

After consuming the Star-Raising Fruit, Feng Shuang had already reached the Lord Level, and Chu Chen had added a fourth Talent to it.

Levitation, at C-level, could grant Guardian Beasts the ability to fly briefly at sixty percent of their normal speed.

Without needing Chu Chen’s commands, Feng Shuang waved a hand, and over a hundred white light clusters fell on the nearby Undead.

One by one, the Undead started floating into the air.

Using the Levitation Talent didn’t consume much of Feng Shuang’s Star Power, but using it a hundred times was taxing. Fortunately, with Star Force Retrospect, it didn’t run out of energy.

However, this number was still insufficient to match the Snow-Feathered Demon Eagles.

Feng Shuang gritted its silver teeth and used the Levitation Talent again. After using the Talent twice, its Star Power was nearly depleted.

Seeing this, Chu Chen quickly brought it back into the Soul Sea.

Now, the number of Undead in the air barely matched the Snow-Feathered Demon Eagles, but the power disparity was still significant.

"Cage, scatter them and create an opening for Shadow Kill."

Receiving the order, Cage let out an excited hiss.

Dense Wood and Water Power quickly gathered around it, and its form underwent a dramatic transformation.

A deer horn sprouted, scales covered its body, claws grew from its belly...

In just a breath, Cage had completely transformed into a dragon.

Cage lifted its claw, sensing the surge of Power within, and let out a joyful dragon’s roar.

"Stop showing off and get up there to help." Chu Chen said irritably.

Cage cast a reproachful glance at Chu Chen, but still dashed into the air.

At this moment, Chu Tianyu and others were watching the scene in shock.

"Is this... a dragon?"

"Yes, it’s a dragon. I’ve seen a dragon in my lifetime."

"Although this dragon’s aura is far from Director Su’s, it appears more dignified and majestic."

Listening to their discussion, Chu Chen shook his head helplessly. Su Jingsong’s Guardian Beast only had a faint trace of Cyan Dragon Bloodline, at best a Flood Dragon.

But Cage’s current form was a true dragon, only with a lower Realm, unable to match the aura of those powerful dragons.

If Cage’s strength increased, its aura wouldn’t be weaker than any true dragon.
