Dharma Ring: Selling dung beetles at the border

The long knife, which looks like a clothes drying pole, is astonishing both in terms of length and weight. It places extremely high demands on the user's skills and wrist strength.

The long knife, which was as fast as a long snake, was quite tame in Yura's hands. It became part of his body and helped him hunt giant beasts that countless people could not reach.

This long knife can cut off dragon scales and pierce mountain rocks.

But when facing Eleonora, there was nothing she could do.

Eleonora's skills are equally superb, and her slender and agile body turns Yura's invincible long sword into a disadvantage when facing the giant beast.

A suppressed growl squeezed out of the dragon's throat. Yura waved the clothes pole with one arm. The dragon's muscle strength turned the long fang into a terrifying guillotine, cutting half of the lava earth dragon's fangs into pieces.

The Furnace Earth Dragon roared, and the broken teeth and lava spewed out in the roar, splashing towards Yura.

However, Yura had lowered the long fang again, dragged the knife and slashed hard, split the chin of the furnace dragon in two, and with the force of the recoil, it fell to the ground faster than the broken fangs and lava, and the dragon's claws were on the ground. On the ground, he avoided the broken teeth and lava falling like raindrops, and his body was left with an afterimage.

No matter how much the lava earth dragon eats pain and goes crazy, attacks and rolls around, it can't hit Yura even once.

It's not enough, I can't touch her...

Yura's eyes turned blood red and he looked like a madman.

The lava earth dragon has been cut and bruised all over by its long fangs, but with huge vitality filling its body, it still shows no sign of fatigue.

In the past, Yura would praise this vigorous vitality and appreciate the dragon's beauty.

But now, seeing a dragon hunter like the Lava Earth Dragon who fell into a tragic situation and turned into a dragon due to dragon food, Yura couldn't help but think of that slender and beautiful figure.

He will become even more angry.

Don't understand, don't understand.

Why did that person become like this, why was this person so obsessed with power, so obsessed with becoming stronger.

Yura also understood that he was destined to be unable to understand her.

Yura cannot accept the behavior of a genius who only pursues power and regards human life as trivial.

When Eleonora embarked on the path of becoming the Blood Finger in order to become stronger, Yura could no longer accept the beautiful dragon flames and the gorgeous sword dance.

Yura's old body has an unprecedented fighting spirit. He wants to defeat Eleonora. He wants to prove that becoming stronger does not require such unscrupulous means.

It's not enough, we still need to continue to hone our skills...

Yura rushed towards the standing lava earth dragon and cut off one of its toes with a sword.

The lava earth dragon was in pain, raised the huge curved sword covered with scales like a dragon's jaw in his hand, and smashed it down hard.

The mountain-like curved sword came towards him. Yura did not dodge this time. Instead, he roared and swung his sword upward. He struck out three swords as fast as a god striking out thunder.

The first two knives cut out staggeredly, and the last knives broke out the fragments. The earth dragon scale sword was cut out, creating a safe space.

But this time the lava earth dragon's attack was not over. The earth dragon scale sword that was deeply embedded in the soil was suddenly torn apart, and the earth and Yura were dug into the eyes. Then a mouthful of lava was sprayed into the space where the curved sword was gathered. .

Yura was hit between the Earth Dragon Scale Sword and the lava, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, which blended with the earth and lava on the ground and made an explosion.

Why, why don't you die? Yura jumped up, dodged the siege of the lava and the curved sword, and climbed onto the lava earth dragon again, scratching blood marks on his body.

Both hunters and prey fell into a frenzy, struggling and fighting in the surrounding lava river, squandering their life force.

Yura ran behind the lava earth dragon again, preparing to bleed it.

The lava earth dragon simply turned its body sideways, then rolled like a crocodile, using its wide body and hard scales to crush Yura to death.

Yura had no choice but to give up and dodge through the gap on the other side of the earth dragon's body.

Just as he was about to break out of the earth dragon's crushing force, the dragon's jaw-like scaly sword struck in front of his eyes again, pressing an iron curtain and lava towards Yura.

Once the circle is closed, it will be difficult for Yura to escape.

A giant hammer suddenly appeared. Someone jumped to Yura's side, swung the giant hammer, and struck the curved sword. The heavy hammer shook the earth dragon scale sword to the ground.

Yura took this opportunity to dodge the earth dragon's crushing force and pull away the man who rescued him.

Tragus, why are you here? Yura said.

The person who came was none other than Tragus, the horned knight wearing a large goat's armor.

After the caravan was repeatedly attacked, Tragus felt deeply about his own weakness, so he left the caravan and continued to travel and experience.

Unexpectedly, after going halfway around the Asian altar, we met again.

I came here to practice, and I happened to find someone here who needed help, so I came over quickly. Tragus said, Let's get rid of the earth dragon in front of us first.

Tragus began to feel the lack of strength, which started with the earth dragon in the tunnel. When he came this time, he also heard that on the Feigun River side, the lava from the volcano overflowed into a lake, and there was an earth dragon entrenched here.

In order to challenge the earth dragon, he happened to meet Yula again and needed help, which inspired Dajiao's hobby of helping, so he rushed up dragging the hammer.

Yura and Tragus were not very familiar with each other, and they didn't know what to say at the moment, nor did they have any tacit understanding, so they fought separately, attacking the earth dragons one after the other.

However, this lack of tacit understanding sometimes produces negative effects when hunting huge beasts. The earth dragon occasionally turns its body to attack Tragus. Yura is not able to judge the action of the earth dragon. Yura is good at precision and skill. The poop cannot fully exert its own strength.

In short, the two of them fought fiercely with the earth dragon, but they did not kill them quickly. They still focused on consumption.

The earth dragon with its back to the lava feeds on the lava and uses the lava as its bed. As long as it is still fighting in the lava, it will have full home field advantage.

As an out-of-control dragon eater, the Lava Earth Dragon is also a dragon-hunting warrior who has experienced hundreds of battles. The closer he is to death, the more he is inspired by the glory and skills he once had as a warrior.

The lava earth dragon stood up, spinning its clumsy and huge body, raising its huge curved sword and sweeping across Yura and Tragus.

Yura felt worse.

He can dodge this blow, but Dajiao is a heavily armored warrior, so he may not be able to dodge it...

A huge black shadow fell from the sky, landing just on the head of the lava earth dragon.

Under the heavy pressure, the earth dragon was forced back to walking on four legs again, and the originally powerful curved sword was also pressed to the ground, sliding along the magma and stopping in front of Dajiao.

The black shadow that hit the earth dragon's head rolled down from the earth dragon's head, turned a few times in the lava, got up and scratched his head dizzily:

Oh, it scared me. I thought I was going to get stuck again.

What came was actually a warrior pot, and it was quite large and looked like a powerful warrior.

Hello, is this the Boiling River? Warrior Pot looked at Tragus and Yura politely, My name is Alexander, I am a Warrior Pot, and I am looking for a place where I can exercise my body. It has to be hot enough.”

This is the Boiling River, Tragus said, but if you plan to exercise here, you have to ask it to move.

Big Horn pointed at the lava earth dragon behind Alexander.

Oh, he is a warrior. Alexander looked back at the lava earth dragon with an excited tone, Yes, let's fight! Warrior, come and be my trial! Let's become heroes together!

Although he didn't understand the situation at all, Alexander quickly entered the state and rushed towards the lava earth dragon excitedly.

With the addition of Alexander, the strength of the three people immediately changed qualitatively, and the lava earth dragon finally showed its fatigue. Finally, Yura circled its neck and ended its life.

After the battle, Alexander praised the lava earth dragon for its strength as a warrior, while he got into the lava earth dragon's neck and head, opened the lid, pulled out the dragon meat and stuffed it into its body.

Leave the dragon's heart to me, Yura said.

Oh, are you the same as us, who became a hero by collecting the flesh and blood of soldiers? Alexander enthusiastically helped Yura take out the dragon heart and handed it over.

You won't turn into an earth dragon after eating it, right? Tragus looked at Yura with some worry.

Yura heard a moment of silence, but still ate. Holding the dragon's heart in his hand, he swallowed it together with the blood and gravel. Yura frowned at the pain of the gravel cutting into his throat.

Alexander greeted Tragus warmly:

Don't you want some?

I was full when I came. Tragus patted his belly.

After sharing the Lava Earth Dragon, the three of them didn't know each other before. For the sake of a temporary comradeship, they sat next to the Lava and chatted.

To be precise, Yura and Tragus were sitting next to the lava, and Alexander squatted down in the lava.

You... don't you want to burn your butt? Tragus the Great Horn reminded Alexander kindly.

Haha, it doesn't matter. Alexander smiled heartily, I'm here to practice. Recently, I have always encountered strong enemies. Seeing powerful warriors makes me deeply aware of my own shortcomings.

Me too. Dajiao immediately found a common language and sighed with Alexander, After coming to Yatan, I realized that there are so many strong people. When I was in the Lake District, I could help others. Who would have thought that in Yatan I just have others to help me.”

Oh, are you here to practice too? Alexander began to impart his experience, I have thought about it for a long time. If you want to become stronger, you must be tough.

Hard? Dajiao said.

Hard enough! Alexander said, Are you tough enough?

Dajiao looked at the big goat armor on his body:

I think I'm still pretty hard.

But since it feels hard, it's just not hard enough. Alexander said, Get harder, my friend!

Then how do you get it hard? Tragus asked.

This is a move I've been thinking about for a long time. Alexander said mysteriously, If it doesn't crack, then this body must be burned.

Burn...the body? Tragus repeated.

That's right. Alexander patted the lava around him, Only through the baptism of fire can one become stronger! Friends, come and accept the trial together!

Okay! Tragus also stood side by side with Alexander, standing in the magma, and the two of them groaned as they were being burned.

Well, well, oh, hum...

But you are a human, is this useful? Alexander looked at Tragus.

It's okay, the main thing is to make the armor a little harder. Tragus said, This is how you train your body.

As he spoke, Tragus put on heavy armor and did push-ups in the lava.

While being burned, Alexander did not forget to say a few words to Yura:

My friend, why did you come to hunt dragons?

I'm here to kill the dragon, Yura said, and also to help the caravan by the way.

Help the caravan? Dajiao heard, So you came here with a mission. Did Wuming send you here?

Patch sent me, Yura said.

But why come here specifically to kill the earth dragon? Dajiao was curious.

Killing the earth dragon is just a matter of course. Yura said, I came here for exploration.

Prospecting for what? Tragus asked.

It was Patch's voice that answered Tragus:

Volcanic stone.

Brother Patch? Tragus heard the voice and looked over in surprise.

When he saw it, Tragus was a little stunned:

Who are you?

The person who came was wearing a leather coat, which was the same as Patch's, except that there were a lot of dark red embroidery sewn on the body, which added a bit of elegance and luxury to the originally smart leather armor.

There is also a thick black watermelon head on the head.

Patch rolled his eyes and pulled off the wig: Who do you think I am?

Have you... changed your image? Tragus said.

When you go to see the mistress of the Volcano Mansion, of course you have to dress up. Patch curled his lips and explained reluctantly, Why are you all together?

Alexander also greeted Patch:

Hey, Brother Patch, how are you doing without name?

Who knows, but that guy can't be broken, Patch said.

We all know each other. Tragus smiled, Have you really cooperated with the volcano?

Hehe... where is the Volcano Mansion? Why don't you cooperate? Patch showed his signature smile, but he still couldn't hide his embarrassment.

After all, Tragus in front of him had been hunted by the Volcano Rebel - even his original mission target.

Tragus still doesn't know that Patch has actually joined the volcano a long time ago, nor does he know that his life was once coveted by Patch.

After being forced to be a companion by Wuming for a period of time, Patch was somewhat embarrassed to face Tragus now.

Tragus didn't say anything more, he just asked with a smile:

How about the volcano?

It's okay. Patch said.

In fact, it was not pleasant to see Tanis again.

Patch followed Wu Ming's instructions, dressed up, and went to see Tanis as an equal collaborator, and discussed the volcanic stone business.

And Tanith's reaction was...no reaction.

There was no appreciation, let alone disgust, just like the other traitors Tanith had received.

This attitude of disregard was what hit Patch the most.

Tanis received Patch in a formal manner, handed Patch the map for collecting volcanic rocks without saying a word, and then sent Patch away with respect and a sense of distance.

This is also the reason why his face has never looked so good.

There are indeed a lot of volcanic rocks here, Yura said. All the way along the river bed to here are volcanic rocks. But there is a problem. There is a war here.

Not far from this pool of lava, a war was still going on in a fortress. The soldiers from the royal city were fighting with the flame watchers from the snowy mountains.

This is not something I can solve. Patch said, This job has to be done by the unknown guy. He likes to meddle in such big nosy matters. Unfortunately, that guy is not here.

They all knew each other, so they had a brief meal roasting dragon meat near the lava pool.

Alexander and Tragus were still standing in the magma, groaning and enduring the burning.

Brother, do you feel that the shell is stronger? Alexander said.

Indeed, somewhat, said Tragus.

If we persist a little longer, we can become more resistant to burning. Alexander said, Indestructible!

Indestructible! Tragus cheered together.

I want to be a hero! Alexander shouted.

One day, I will defeat the earth dragon independently. Tragus also shouted together.

The two of them were full of confidence, enduring the burning of the lava and imagining a beautiful vision of the future, a future that was indestructible and no longer afraid of the burning.

Did you hear anything? Alexander asked.

It seems a little bit, Tragus said.

The magma that Alexander and Tragus were soaking in overflowed from high places.

It is connected to the Gmir Volcano, and there is lava flowing out of the volcano.

A rumbling sound seemed to be coming from the volcano above and getting closer.

The sound became louder and louder, and the lava that was slowly flowing along the hillside above the head suddenly became turbulent, and a large amount of lava gushed out.

Along with it, there was also a huge shadow, which directly hit Alexander's lid.

Ouch. Alexander covered the lid, What is it?

It seems like... a lava earth dragon. Tragus said with some uncertainty.

A huge head fell from the volcano above. It was covered with dragon scales and had a very flat head, which was the characteristic of a lava earth dragon.

Only one head of the lava earth dragon was left, and the fracture was quite rough, as if it had been torn apart by some powerful force.

The four people present were a little dumbfounded as they avoided the lava, looking at the dragon head incomprehensibly for some reason.

The faucet suddenly moved, and at first glance it seemed as if it had come back to life again.

But soon, the dragon's mouth opened, and two figures walked out of the pool of blood and lava.

One of them was wiping off the lava on his body while talking loudly:

Where is this? Is Larcade here?

Another figure is tall and slender—a snake-man appearance:

Apparently you're lost again.

Pachiola, Alexander and Tragus looked at each other.

This voice... sounds familiar?
