Chapter 290: Paper Tiger
"Woohoo!"
Longbei's voice echoed far across the wasteland.
A black, steel-crafted Magic Power Car was speeding across the wasteland, its powerful engines kicking up clouds of dust.
In the driver's seat, Yoyo was standing in the middle, projecting the map onto the air. The entire Magic Power Car constructed by Kane was also being driven by it.
The prototype dungeon possessing Yoyo's manufacturing technology is archived in the Mechanical Association's records.
So Kane replaced some of his constructs' connection circuits and control functions with the technology from Yoyo's original world, making it easier for Yoyo to control.
Of course, this also made it easier for Kane to slack off.
Thus, they sped forward, reaching their destination, the Dark Swamp, in just over half a day.
"Is that the place we're heading to?" Longbei asked, looking at the swamp ahead, overgrown with shrubs, slightly humid, and covered by dense woods.
"According to the map, this should be the place. It matches the description, so we shouldn't have come to the wrong place."
Kane said this after checking the map in his hand again.
As Kane studied the map, a strange thought suddenly popped into his head.
He called down the Cotton Candy floating above them.
"Cotton Candy, can you carry all of us for long-distance flight with your current largest size?"
Hearing Kane's words, Cotton Candy shook its body.
"Beep."
"Really? Then I'll have to trouble you." Kreya walked over from beside Kane and asked, "What's up? Did you think of something again?"
Kane pointed to the Cotton Candy in front of him and reminded her.
"Cotton Candy can fly and can carry all of us for a long-distance flight."
Hearing Kane's words, Kreya suddenly realized, clenching her right fist and hitting it on her left palm as she said, "Right! Why didn't we think of that earlier."
With Cotton Candy, they could all travel long distances by flight.
The so-called clearing of one level after another and then going to fight that Evil Dragon would be a waste of time.
They could directly fly from the sky to the Evil Dragon's lair, reaching their destination in less than a day.
Suddenly, Longbei seemed to sense something, and he rushed to the front of the team, his form transforming into a five-meter tall gray Giant. The Shield in his arm expanded as he activated Iron Wall Shield Defense.
A scorching Fireball descended from the sky, crashing onto Longbei's Shield.
The strong wind pressure swept over Kane and the others as a dark red Giant Dragon, spanning over ten meters in length, unfurled its massive dragon wings before them.
Its huge body revealed well-defined muscles covered in dense scales, with two menacing horns on its head, one of which was broken in the middle.
Just as they thought of using a sneaky way to pass this level, the final boss showed up right at their door.
It stared at Kane and his group with its orange-yellow vertical pupils: "I heard a divine child is here to challenge me. Haha, let me see who it is!"
"Roar!" It raised its long neck and roared into the sky.
"Let me see who dares to oppose me, Affabei Foster, the eternal scourge!"
It then sniffed the air towards Kane and his group, suddenly calming down, saying, "Oh, I don't seem to detect any divine presence. It appears my weak kin were deceived by you. Pathetic ants."
"I was thinking, if there really was a divine child, my collection would have yet another rare specimen. What a pity."
Listening to the Giant Dragon in the sky prattle on, Longbei peeked out from behind his Shield and directly taunted the dragon.
"What are you blabbering about? If you're really not afraid, you should be sitting securely in your rural lair, waiting for our arrival, instead of getting so anxious and rushing here to verify."
"What did you say? Are you implying that I'm afraid?"
"I didn't say it. You said it yourself."
"You damn ant," the Evil Dragon roared angrily, then flapped its wings and swooped down, using its giant claws to grab fiercely at Longbei.
However, during its descent, countless small, rainbow-glowing stars appeared in the air behind it, crashing into its back at a remarkable speed.
Before it could swing its dragon claw, the stars crashed into it, forcing it down to the ground.
These stars had peculiar functions besides force, where each star striking its back caused the dragon scales at the point of impact to flutter down like paper, revealing the skin hidden beneath.
"What have you done to me?" The Evil Dragon, feeling the disappearance of its scales, cried out in horror, almost like a squealing chicken.
Even as it was checking itself for the peculiar changes with horror, four blue hands were already pressing against its tail.
Everyone in Kane's party halted their actions upon seeing Meizike's Origin Skills, eager to observe the effects of this gold-level skill.
The Evil Dragon, alarmed by its situation and puzzled by Kane and his group's lack of aggression, could only stand cautiously in place, confronting them.
Yet, at this moment, it felt something being drained from its body, seemingly its own blood.
It attempted to mobilize its internal magic to stop this but to no avail.
Its once robust exterior began to wither somewhat, with its bright scales suddenly dulling, and its fierce dragon eyes becoming slightly vacant.
Its entire appearance seemed to age suddenly, appearing stiff, mechanical, and lethally weakened.
Opening its mouth with a dry, hoarse voice, it fearfully asked, "What have you done to me."
Sensing a deadly threat, it flapped its wings, attempting to escape.
However, dozens of white Spider Silk strands flew over, binding its wings at the base like a chicken.
This rendered its wings immobile, causing it to fall again to the ground.
At this time, Meizike was observing the energy group in his palm, resembling a ball of blood—Healing Energy derived from 30% of the Giant Dragon's blood.
Feeling the energy group in his hand, he divided it into five portions and shared it with himself and his teammates.
Though Kane and the others weren't injured, the energy still bolstered their bodies upon being absorbed.
It even came with an overflow effect.
