Chapter 70 Do you think I'm a little glutton?
Lu Mingfei didn't know anything else, but he naturally despised this kind of underhanded behavior of attacking from behind.
It's like encountering a turtle-style opponent in StarCraft. The opponent only focuses on turtle defense, repeatedly harassing you with small groups of troops, not aiming to win, but just to annoy you, waiting for the final F2A strategy.
This is what annoys Lu Mingfei the most.
The best way to deal with this situation is, of course, to raid their base.
"Finally found it. I didn't expect this place to interfere with perception."
The moment Lu Mingfei stepped into the Bronze City, an invisible pressure spread from the surrounding walls.
He hadn't felt it much when he was outside, only sensing the aura of a dragon deep within the Bronze City. Only now, being inside, did he truly feel the suffocating sense of being isolated from the world.
However, even under this suppression, after a moment of focused perception, his senses penetrated through countless intersecting passages and detected that almost faint fluctuation.
found it.
What appeared before Lu Mingfei was a back nearly four stories high, with a long neck covered in black scales, and along the spine, serrated black bone spurs piercing through the scales.
As if sensing something was wrong, the head on that long neck turned around.
It saw Lu Mingfei, and Lu Mingfei also saw its true face.
Like a scene from a martial arts novel, an ancient iron mask covered his face like a skin, revealing only his eerie golden eyes.
Dragon, a dragon that existed only in legends during the first 16 years of Lu Mingfei's life.
"Hey, why aren't you running away?"
The boy smiled as he looked at the dragon servant in front of him, stretched his neck, and looked up at what the dragon servant's huge body was covering.
It was a bronze jar, and also an unhatched egg.
The egg of the Dragon King Constantine.
"........."
Samson, the Dragon Attendant, did not answer. Heavy breaths billowed from beneath his mask, condensing into white mist in the cold air. His golden eyes were fixed on Lu Mingfei, every muscle in his body taut like a bow.
As the Dragon King's guard, this dragon servant would not hesitate to die to protect its lord. For that was the very meaning of its existence.
But now, an almost absurd sense of horror is spreading along its spine.
The seemingly tiny human in front of it exuded a sense of oppression that surpassed most of its understanding throughout its long life.
As a pure-blooded second-generation species, a dragon servant of the Bronze and Fire King lineage, it has witnessed too much power and destruction.
The other members of his clan on the river were also from the lineage of the King of Bronze and Fire. Through bloodline resonance and elemental perception, he already knew the general situation on the water.
The dragon servant died almost instantly, without even having the chance to activate its incantation; this was simply unbelievable.
You should know that these two dragons are the personal guards of the King of Bronze and Fire. In order to protect this palace, they accepted the supreme ruler's grace.
As the shield of the Dragon Attendant, his bronze body was enhanced by the alchemy of the Dragon King Norton, and he was responsible for protecting the royal authority. He remained in the deepest part of the entire bronze palace as the last line of defense.
The dead dragon, serving as the spear of the dragon attendant, was responsible for both active defense and attack, standing guard on the outer layer of the Bronze City, intercepting intruders and eliminating threats.
Enhanced by Norton's twin Constantine using fire element, a portion of the Supreme's power lies dormant within his body, enabling him to wield the forbidden incantation, Candle Dragon.
Its power is enough to incinerate all invading enemies.
Theoretically, this should be the case, but... what's going on here?
Instant kill?
What is it to do, to guard the supreme cocoon all by itself?
Escape was no longer an option. Its only hope was that the bronze city could exhaust the invaders' strength to the greatest extent possible, giving it at least a chance to fight to the last.
but……
"Don't you like to talk?"
Lu Mingfei looked at the dragon in front of him, and a magic rune appeared in his finger. He pointed to the bronze jar that was being tightly protected by the huge dragon body.
"Give it to me, okay?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the golden pupils suddenly shrank to the size of pinpoints!
Hand it over? Absolutely not!
Samson—that's the name His Majesty Norton gave it.
It had long foreseen its fate. But as a second-generation species, with the noble blood of the King of Bronze and Fire flowing through its veins, the dignity of the dragon race was etched into its soul.
Even if the only path ahead is a battle to the death, it will surely use the most blazing dragon flames to defend the final peace of the king behind it.
A deep dragon roar brewed in his chest, like molten lava rolling deep within the earth.
"Humans..." Its voice was hoarse, like bronze iron scraping against each other, each syllable carrying the heat of flames, "Those who covet the throne will only be ashes."
"Ashes? What, you want to grind me to dust?" The boy chuckled. "Looks like we can't reach an agreement."
Before he finished speaking, Samson moved.
Without warning, without any buildup, that massive body unleashed a terrifying speed completely disproportionate to its size. Its giant claws, covered in thick bronze scales, tore through the air and slammed down with the force to crush mountains!
Lu Mingfei simply extended his hand without even flinching.
The talisman shone brightly, its immense magical power like an invisible giant hand, instantly seizing Samson's swatting claw, then spreading upwards along its limbs, completely enveloping its massive body.

hum-
A gigantic, completely transparent glass jar materialized from thin air, imprisoning the struggling Samson within. The jar's walls shimmered with a clear, seven-colored light; though as thin as a cicada's wing, it was indestructible.
Samson roared in fury, his bronze body slamming into the ground with all his might, bone spikes striking fiercely, and scorching dragonfire spewing from his mouth and nose in an attempt to melt the barrier.
However, neither the scales that had been enhanced to the extreme by the alchemy of the Dragon King Norton, nor the surging power boiling in his bloodline, could be contained at this moment.
At the same time, the flames of destruction suddenly rose from the jar, and the scorching temperature caused those golden eyes to widen instantly.
It is a second-generation species of bronze and fire, and its affinity and resistance to flames are deeply ingrained, making it impossible for ordinary flames to harm it.
But the flames... the moment they touched the scales on its forearm, did not explode, did not melt, and did not even make a sound; the scales melted away like snowflakes.
It finally realized—
This is a mortal enemy with whom we must burn everything and fight to the death.
Samson's roar fell completely silent.
In the golden eyes, the rage and horror dissipated like the receding tide, leaving behind a deathly silence of resolve.
Beneath the bronze mask, a deep yet clear chant of dragon script emanated. Each syllable was incredibly difficult to understand; Lu Mingfei had never heard it before, yet he could now clearly comprehend its meaning.
"Let my bones be my fuel..."
Its jagged vertebral spurs began to crumble one by one.
"Use my blood as a catalyst..."
"You still have a trump card up your sleeve?" Lu Mingfei tilted his head, but there was no surprise in his eyes. "Did you really think I'd just stand there and watch you finish reading?"
He's not some shonen manga protagonist who insists on one-on-one combat, nor is he the kind of brainless villain who lets his opponent unleash a self-destructing ultimate attack.
Especially considering his experience at Yangcheng Lake...
Do you really think Lu Mingfei is a little glutton? He's not that stupid.
"town!"
The moment the words left his mouth, the flame inside the glass jar changed abruptly.
The previously slow-burning flames suddenly erupted, a vortex of fire engulfing his entire dragon body. The unfinished dragon incantation and his martyr-like will were extinguished in that instant—
Silent and still, returning to nothingness.
There was no explosion, no ashes, not even a trace of its existence.
The jar was empty, and only silence remained.
