Starting with watering the World Tree for otherworldly survival

"Those trump cards that you, White Dragon, have thought of and are preparing to use, how could I, Kos Winter, not have them? You and your Wolf Riders and Wind Dragons, you can all die here!"

The melee continues, and Koss grows increasingly ferocious.

Under the cover of the Barioth, it dodged several fatal attacks from the two dragons. Wielding the Vengeful Spear in its left hand and the Frostblood Switch Axe in its right, its valiant fighting posture was truly awe-inspiring.

Although the Barioth's fur and scales were being torn apart by its sharp claws, these injuries were nothing to it, as a flying dragon species that relies on natural energy for its existence.

If they can win this war, the Barioth Dragon can drink more white dragon blood.

Those elite dragonborn gnolls have launchers and grappling hooks on their arms!

These hunters' gadgets, however, began to help them gain the upper hand in battle.

The breath of the Wind Dragon had little effect on the dragonborn gnolls who had obtained the blood of the white dragon.

Although some gnolls were still caught and torn in two or thrown off the cliff by the wind dragon's claws, others managed to leap onto its back using their launchers and grappling hooks!

Then their weapons came in handy: long swords and short spears, made of dragon bones and sharpened with dragon steel, tore through the wind dragons' wing membranes and scales, forcing these flying dragons to fall from the sky.

On land, the Frost Giants, having regrouped, also targeted the Wind Dragons, which were temporarily unable to take flight. The tide of battle shifted once again—

"All kobold warlocks! Stop these damned things!"

The White Dragon Queen issued the order, and after the Chrome Dragon flung away the Ice Fang Dragon with one tail, it charged towards the Frost Giant once again.

Soon, the kobold warlocks, having formed a battle group, unleashed a wide-range attack spell. A blizzard, mixed with surging lightning like thunder, swept towards the small number of dragonborn gnolls!

Even as these fearsome dragonborn warriors leaped and tried to dodge the attacks, some unlucky ones were still struck by the swift lightning.

The dragon scales on a gnoll's body were blown off, and he convulsed as he fell to the ground. Even with the dragonborn's powerful regenerative abilities, the gnoll was no longer alive.

That mid-level eighth-tier white dragon, with its magnificent sixteen-meter-long body, brandished its sharp fangs and claws. Its biting and slashing attacks were unmatched.

Qin He knew that even the Dragonborn Gnolls were not an invincible force. Although they were indeed intimidating, the number of Dragonborn that could be created from White Dragon blood was not large.

At least the few white dragons that Koss hunted were not enough to catalyze the formation of an army.

Gnolls are a race that can easily prosper; like rabbits, they are given many babies by Heraheim.

The gnolls will soon multiply to thousands, and the frost giants, with their forces of ice trolls and ogres, will surely be able to control their numbers.

Moreover, using dragon blood to convert dragonborn carries a significant chance of failure. Given the frost giants' imperfect methods, only a tiny fraction of dragonborn gnolls can be created.

As for the white dragon's leather armor, and the dragon bone and dragon steel daggers, they will only be issued to the elite among the elite.

Once the Dragonborn Gnolls' onslaught is withstood and their numbers reduced, the advantage Koss has built with this trump card will vanish.

In contrast, the Wind Wyverns can still fight even with damaged wing membranes, as long as they are not pierced through the heart or brain by a frost giant's spear.

Even if they are made into "free-range chickens", a flying dragon is still a flying dragon. What's more, these wind-drifting dragons have been modified by white dragons and fed with dragon blood.

They are also much stronger than ordinary individual wind dragons.

Soon, the frost giants' disadvantages became apparent. After they broke through the barbarian warriors' lines and successfully struck the kobold dragon vein sorcerers, the number of frost giants still capable of fighting was drastically reduced.

At the cost of nearly half of the Wolf Riders falling, the mid-tier eighth-level white dragon finally charged in. It was determined to do everything in its power to drag the Ice Fang Dragon out of the battle, creating an opportunity for the White Dragon Queen to kill Koss!

“Wolper, do as I say.”

Faced with this situation, Volper originally wanted to use his Blade Breath to kill the Frost Giant King and injure the White Dragon Chromium Dragon, but they each had a counterattack move in hand.

Fortunately, an outsider's perspective is clearer, and Qin He pointed out a solution to Volper—

This method is a blinding breath that radiates throughout the entire field and has been accumulating power for a long time!

Wolper was so engrossed in watching the battle that he even forgot he had this natural advantage.

With a burst of intense flashes, many Wind Drift Dragons were blinded by Volper as if hit by a flashbang.

The center of the blinding breath explosion is precisely where the four finalists are locked in battle!

"Wh...what? Not a wave-slashing technique!"

In his previous report, Koss had already been on high alert for Volper's sharp breath, which was capable of slicing through glaciers and cliffs.

But unexpectedly, what erupted at such close range was a blindingly bright light. In an instant, Koss's fragile eyes were blinded by the intense light!

The situation was completely out of control, but it didn't matter... Koss could still wield the evil spear! The evil spear, swung like the wind, carried boundless resentment, and neither the white dragon nor Volper could get close... it was extremely difficult.

But—the attack that came head-on was an unexpectedly strong acid? Koss's huge hand, which was tightly gripping the evil spear, was suddenly pierced by the black dragon's brewing breath!

"A black dragon? Where did this black dragon come from?!"

An overwhelming fear gripped his heart, and Koss suddenly recalled a night from the past. In a lake in a certain jungle, he had fought a powerful black dragon.

Using methods even more despicable than those of the dragon, the young Winter King assassinated the black dragon. But it failed to notice…

Beneath the acid-corroded lake, there are three small eyes, filled with fear and hatred!

"Kous Winter! Do you remember the swamp dragon you killed back then—Yeg Black Eclipse?!"

Zoe Black Eclipse, Zola Black Eclipse, and the youngest Zono Black Eclipse, these three black dragons who inherited their mother's surname, were captured by the Azure Crimson tribe.

Nearly a century has passed, and they have finally grown from fledglings into adult black dragons with peak seventh-order strength!

"Black Dragon...that damned bastard!"

Suppressing the aching pain in his hands and arms, Koss tried to swing the evil spear. He entrusted everything to the weapon's malevolent energy, hoping that the spear, thirsting for dragon blood, would guide it to tear the black dragon apart!

"Your old mother and you will both be minced into meat and roasted on the fire! Ha... You failed to kill me before, but now... Red Dragon Soth Hellfire! Will end your wretched life!"

The crimson dragon's gaping maw snapped shut on Kos's abdomen! Sensing the deadly danger, Kos frantically swung his Vengeful Spear—

However, his hands were corroded and emaciated by the acidic breath of the three-headed black dragon, and he had been engaged in a prolonged battle.

How could Koss possibly wield its spear at full power? Although in its current state, it was more than capable of repelling a red dragon that was only at the lower level of the eighth rank.

But an even more powerful force slapped away the evil spear that had been stained with the blood of countless dragons.

"It's time to end this, ally."

The ancestral purple dragon, having reverted to its original form, blocked the heavy blow with overwhelming power!

The White Dragon Queen and the Chrome Dragon had just regained some of their sight from blindness when they discovered a giant corpse torn into several pieces lying in the dust.

Frost Giant King, Koss Winter. This ninth-rank lower-level frost giant chieftain—

It was immediately switched back to human form, and Volper, wielding the True Sin Double Scythes, began to frantically stab and kill it.

Just now, under the combined attack and restraint of the three eighth-tier lower-level giants, the red dragon and the blue dragon, even a frost giant king as strong as Kos could only suffer a bitter defeat.

Then, the purple-clad figure spun and transformed into a dragon once more.

Moreover, Volper's offensive showed no signs of stopping.

The chrome dragon and the white dragon queen, whose bodies were pierced by the evil spear and bleeding profusely, were suppressed to the ground by the ancestral purple dragon in just a few moves!

The counterattack clenched between its claws crumbled just before it was unleashed.

The two nearly twenty-meter-long ninth-tier dragons were simultaneously blasted into submission by Volper's dragon claws.

"Listen up, all you white dragons, frost giants, and other scum of every race! From this day forward, there will be no more King of Winter on the frozen plains."

"If you want to live a glorious life, then follow under my master, Dragon Emperor Qin He!"

Ten dragons of different colors and scales were surrounding the purple dragon in the center.

Unable to believe their eyes, the white dragons, unaffected by the blinding breath, indeed saw Volper standing there alongside the ten-headed rainbow dragon.

The eighth-tier lower-rank white dragon, which originally intended to pull the Ice Fang Dragon away from the battle, stopped in place after seeing the Ice Fang Dragon being suppressed by the red and blue dragons.

It confronted Volper, and the purple dragon responded by stomping heavily on the white dragon queen's creaking skull with its claws.

Red Dragon Soth, without a second thought, frantically slashed open the wounds of the Ice Fang Dragon with her sharp claws, surveying the surroundings with a fierce gaze.

After a long battle, with its blindness still unresolved and its strength temporarily exhausted, the Ice Fang Dragon was fiercely suppressed by the Red Dragon and two Blue Dragons within a paralyzing trap filled with surging electricity.

Upon closer inspection, one can discover that a tranquilizer dagger, made from a hunter's capture tranquilizer ball, has been embedded in the Barioth's body at some unknown time!

After the green dragon and the elves stayed up all night to improve them, these throwing knives came in handy on the Barioth.

I've never had such an exhilarating battle before. Although time is of the essence and the Red Dragon can't personally take down the Barioth Dragon, there are still quite a few enemies ahead.

Gnolls, dragonborn, frost giants, or wind dragons with dragon blood were all things that it and Volper could slaughter at will.

The red dragon felt its blood boil, even as these fearless creatures united. Soth also felt it could put up a fight…

Who gave them such courage? Soth thought of Qin He. If she were by that person's side, perhaps she could accomplish anything.

Sure enough, a magnificent, colossal shadow stood with its hands behind its back above Volper's head. Its overwhelming dragon might swept across the area, instantly filling the white dragons with fear—

It was Qin He; his human form was projected into mid-air.

"Kneel down, all of you."

In a single sentence, the terrifying aura emanating from the despairing black dragon caused the white dragons to cower and the wind-blown dragons to fall.

Because they heard the Dragon Emperor's decree and saw the Dragon Emperor himself! Even if it was just an image, Qin He, who could unleash the peak strength of a Saint and the majesty of the Dragon Emperor in a short time, was not someone they could defy.

Having witnessed the death of the Frost Giant King and the swift suppression of the Chromium Dragon and the White Dragon Queen, these white dragons no longer harbored any thought of fighting against Qin He and his purple dragons.

“Wolper, well done. Take these white dragons and attack the frost giants’ fortress. I’ll leave this place to you until the Sky Comet arrives to pick you up.”

"Remember, I want a loyal dragon!"

Qin He's subtext was that he was handing over the power of life and death to Walper. Anyone who disobeyed orders would be executed, anyone who hesitated would be executed, and anyone who incited rebellion would also be executed.

Of course, Qin He wouldn't allow the White Dragon army, the dragonborn bred by the Frost Giants, and this batch of Wind Drift Dragons to all die.

Qin He used the dragon's might just now to transmit his identity to the minds of all the white dragons and dragon descendants.

Before them stood the Dragon Emperor Qin He.

Behind the Dragon Emperor are Bahamut, Tiamat, Sadewol, Nidhogg, and the supreme god Serethi.

With the White Dragon Queen leading them, perhaps these white dragons would still have the will to resist or escape.

But when Qin He and Volper dominated the scene, they were left with nothing but loyalty.

With the Frost Giant King dead, the remaining forces are no longer a significant threat.

Soon, all the white dragons knelt down. The White Dragon Queen, whose head was being trampled on, also relied on the precious jade to urge the remaining wind dragons to obey her orders.

"very good."

……

With the death of the Frost Giant King and the capture of all his elite Frost Giants, the Winter's Tent was destroyed by Volper's machinations.

The dragonborn gnolls, along with the remaining white dragons, wind dragons, and lizardmen, have all submitted.

Qin Xinru and Zhong Xiling finally brought Deng Liu to the destination marked on the map.

An elegant ice dragon, its body so intact it seemed as if it had never died, slumbered within the thick, hard ice walls.

They tried everything, but the solid ice sealing the remains of the ancient dragon was so strong that they couldn't even leave a scratch.

After working for half a day, they simply gave up. They sat with Deng Liu in the ice cave, admiring the Ice Curse Dragon's appearance, frozen within the great glacier.

The complete Iceborne Dragon was right before his eyes, yet he couldn't obtain it immediately. Frustrated, Lantern finally revealed some of the young dragon's greed.

But when she saw Qin He, she showed an extremely sweet smile.

Soon, she will be able to see Qin He.

"Mom, Aunt Zhong, don't worry~ you'll be back by my side soon."

"Ha! What a disappointment... But it seems this Ice Dragon has preserved itself very well~ Qin He, look at its scales, they're so beautiful!"

"Oh dear... well, it doesn't look that big! Aunt Zhong thought the Divine Ancient Dragon would be as big as twenty mulberries, but it doesn't even look thirty meters long!"

Dragons like Flame Ling and Mulberry are already over forty meters long, comparable to even the Kulve Taroth among the large Elder Dragons.

Even disregarding its body length, Velkhana is an ancient dragon with a slender build.

"Hehe~ If this Ice Dragon could turn into a pretty girl, she'd probably be a slender type."

Exhausted and panting, Zhong Xiling deliberately tugged at her strapless bra in front of Qin He, flicking out the cool, slippery sweat between her deep breasts with her fingers.

Seeing Aunt Zhong displaying her not-so-slender, but rather voluptuous figure, Qin He couldn't help but want to pull her strapless bra down to her wasp waist and fondle her as he used to.

She dropped her weapon and lay lazily on the ice. Zhong Xiling suddenly became curious: what exactly were the equipment made from the materials of the Ice Dragon like?

—Or rather…would it feel amazing to do it with Qin He while wearing that?

Even before Zhong Xiling had returned to Qin He's side, her mind was already filled with fantasies of various positions and ways of playing with him.

"Looks like we can only dig it out when that comet dragon comes."
