Chapter 24 The Fleeing Enemy

"Cat's Lightness!"

"Grease the soles of your feet!"

As the Green-footed Dragon Snake was accumulating its next Lightning Breath, Cassius cast several acceleration spells on himself.

His body became extraordinarily agile and he leaped lightly several times in the mine, approaching the green-footed dragon snake.

Although the red dragon is not as powerful as the green-footed dragon snake, and their sizes are also very different, this is not the only determining factor in hand-to-hand combat.

He is confident that he can defeat his opponent in close combat.

The green-footed dragon snake spewed out several lightning bolts, but the red dragon was prepared. He predicted its direction in advance, dodged left and right, and easily avoided it.

The Green-footed Dragon Snake saw Cassius's intention of physical combat and laughed hoarsely, "Foolish dragon, how dare you fight me in this cave."

"Without the advantage of flying—"

"What are you?"

Its twelve pairs of legs squirmed as if they were walking on flat ground on the rock wall, and its steps were so fast that it was even faster than the red dragon after casting spells.

It rushed towards the red dragon like a blue lightning.

"Bull power!"

The Green-footed Dragon Snake's response to the attack was exactly what the Red Dragon wanted. He instantly increased his strength, veins bulged on his strong body, and bursts of hot steam gushed out, and his whole body's strength surged.

"Defeat the enemy first!"

The red dragon's golden vertical pupils emitted purple magical light. He stared at the green-footed dragon snake, trying to see its next move.

"Ridiculous dragon."

"You are just as vulnerable as a cowardly human mage!"

When the green-footed dragon snake saw the red dragon full of magic, it was not panicked at all. It just opened its bloody mouth and bit it.

The red dragon saw through it in advance, jumped aside to avoid it, and then prepared to retaliate with its claws.

But he didn't expect that the green-footed dragon snake's bite was actually a fake move.

When the red dragon dodged, it turned its spear head, bounced up quickly, and wrapped its huge body around the red dragon like a lasso.

It's entangled!
The green-footed dragon snake slowly tightened its muscles, compressing the red dragon's escape space, and then entangled and strangled it.

Its body is more than twice as long as that of the red dragon, and its strength is also much greater. Once it becomes entangled, the outcome is decided.

Seeing this, the red dragon used its sharp claws to continuously attack the green-footed dragon snake's exposed and burnt skin, causing blood and flesh to fly all over its body.

The green-footed dragon snake whistled in pain but did not stop tightening its body.

It knew that if it let go it would be defeated, and if it succeeded in entanglement, even the red dragon would lose its strength.

But Cassius's attack was not comparable to that of the barbarian. His sharp claws penetrated several feet into the flesh, causing the green-footed dragon snake's skin to burst.

"You are just my prey!"

The green-footed dragon snake was extremely angry and let out a long howl.

Even though it was covered in wounds, it moved quickly and tightly wrapped its entire body around the red dragon.

"You are struggling to survive!"

It worked.

The red dragon was tightly entangled by the huge and slender body, like a beast trapped in a trap with no way to escape.

It couldn't even move its claws and could only struggle feebly, fighting back with its sharp fangs and teeth becoming increasingly weaker.

About to slay a red dragon.

This made the Green-footed Dragon Snake feel its blood boiling. It even forgot the severe pain in its body and just used all its strength to tighten its muscles based on its consciousness.

This is the terrifying power of ancient biological weapons, the hatred for dragons engraved in their blood.

However, the next moment, the situation took a turn for the worse.

"Phantom Steps!"

The red dragon, who was being tightly entangled, cast a spell.

His expertise as a combat spellcaster allowed him to cast spells easily even in this controlled state.

Suddenly, the green-footed dragon snake felt that the place where its body was wrapped around was empty, and only a ball of silver-white smoke was left where the prey's body had been.

And the red dragon had teleported to the top of the cliff ten meters away.

"not good!"

It cried out in surprise. The Green-footed Dragon Snake was in an extremely awkward position because it had just used too much force and its body was almost twisted into a ball.

In fact, Cassius could have escaped the moment the green-footed dragon snake started to entangle him.

But he chose to outwit the enemy, making it think it was trapped, thereby further exhausting the opponent.

The red dragon let out a long and hearty roar, leaped down, and pounced straight towards the green-footed dragon snake.

"Now, tell me—"

"Who is the prey?"

The Green-footed Dragon Snake's body was still twisted into a ball at this time, with no power to dodge, so it had to fight hastily.

It barely raised its head and bit.

However, at this time, Cassius's agility was far superior to that of the green-footed dragon snake.

The red dragon just jumped lightly to the left and easily dodged the attack.

Instead, he took advantage of the gap in the Green-footed Dragon Snake's attack, dodged and pounced behind the latter, biting its exposed, bruised torso fiercely.

Flesh and blood flying everywhere!
Warm blood spurted out of his mouth.

The teeth sank deeply into the flesh, cutting through the muscle fibers and penetrating deeper. This feeling made the red dragon feel extremely satisfied.

"Ow—"

The green-footed dragon snake let out deafening screams and struggled frantically, trying to break free.

But the red dragon not only bit it tightly with its mouth, but also its arms were bulging with veins, and its sharp claws had even reached into its body, digging around randomly.

The green-footed dragon snake rolled around frantically, but the red dragon refused to let go.

"boom……"

The two giant beasts engaged in the most violent physical combat using the most primitive techniques.

The rocks in the cave rumbled.

It seemed as if the entire mine was shaking and trembling, and rubble was constantly falling from the top of the cave.

"Aww..."

Finally, the green-footed dragon snake seemed to be in a state of complete decline and let out a weak whimper.

However, the Red Dragon still refused to relax. His physical strength was almost exhausted. If this powerful enemy had any tricks up his sleeve, he would be helpless.

Is it finally over?
Cassius felt that the green-footed dragon snake's body movements were becoming weaker and weaker, and its struggling movements were becoming smaller and smaller.

A blue-green blood mist suddenly burst out.

"boom!"

It escaped!

The Green-footed Dragon Snake Sutra actually tore off half of its own body, using it to cut off its tail and escape.

The remaining seven pairs of feet moved quickly on the rock wall.

Although it was seriously injured, without the burden of half its body, the Green-footed Dragon Snake moved more quickly.

"Or it escaped."

The red dragon opened its mouth and struggled to pull its claws out of the remaining half of its body.

Watching the green-footed dragon snake disappear into the darkness.

There was no way, he was almost exhausted.

What's more, this mine is the home ground of the Green-footed Dragon Snake.

In the cave, the red dragon's flying advantage could not be brought into play. With only four legs, it was difficult for it to catch up with the green-legged dragon snake, which had seven pairs of legs even if only half of it was left.

The dancing lights spell had worn off, but there was still a faint glow from the torches.

Kaixiu just watched silently, staring at the deep cave where the green-footed dragon snake escaped.

The unique reflective membrane behind the retina of the Red Dragon's eye helps him see in dim caves and also makes his eyes glow in the dark.

However, his vision at this time was in black and white.

"That direction is the Burning Embers Nest."

Red dragons also have a keen sense of direction. Even in a dark cave, they can filter information from the environment and determine the general direction.
"Bottomless pit?"

Cassius suddenly thought of something.
