Chapter 286: Black Dragon, The System Finally Issues a Mission
Boom!!
The fireball was smashed apart, and flames rained down toward the ground like a storm.
Buzz! Buzz!
As soon as the rain of fire touched the earth, it instantly ignited.
Even when it fell onto the lush, green ancient trees, they were set ablaze as well.
"Put out the fire."
Jiang Qize descended and said to Camon and the others.
This wasn't ordinary fire. If they let it burn unchecked, the entire island would be reduced to ashes.
"Yes."
They responded in unison.
Then each of them moved to extinguish the flames.
Jiang Qize was in a good mood.
A creature capable of breathing such fire—whether it was a black dragon or not—had to be incredibly powerful. This island truly was a treasure trove.
"You guys look around. I'm heading up!"
Jiang Qize said to Dorry and the others.
"Got it, Captain."
Immediately after, he stomped the ground hard, transforming into a bolt of lightning as he flashed upward along the rocky surface of the mountain peak.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~
A streak of lightning shot toward the sky-piercing mountain.
Jiang Qize soared higher and higher, moving with incredible speed. Soon, even the clouds were within arm's reach.
A dragon's might that shook heaven and earth pressed down upon him, forcing his figure to reveal itself as his speed slowed.
At this moment, everything around him was a vast expanse of white—nothing but clouds.
He landed on a rock near the summit and looked up.
Dozens of meters above, there was an enormous cave entrance.
From within the cave, a massive, ferocious dragon head extended outward. Black-gold scales gleamed with a cold light. A pair of golden vertical pupils looked down at him with supreme arrogance. Two black dragon horns crowned its head like streaks of lightning.
"It really is a dragon!"
Jiang Qize's eyes lit up.
So domineering—this was a true dragon, not some mere dinosaur-like creature.
[Ding! Low-level True Black Dragon species discovered.]
[Ding! Mission issued: Capture the Black Dragon.]
[Mission reward: Unlock Bloodline Evolution opportunity!]
"It actually triggered a mission from the system…"
Jiang Qize was surprised.
If he remembered correctly, the system had never issued a mission before this.
"Roar~"
The black dragon let out a thunderous roar. Then its enormous head extended further, its body emerging bit by bit.
Thud~ Thud~
A faint tremor spread through the air.
Buzz!
A fierce gale swept forward.
The black dragon's entire body emerged from the cave. It spread its massive wings, blotting out the sky.
Buzz~
The air trembled violently.
The black dragon took flight. Its several-hundred-meter-long body eclipsed the sun.
Its entire form was covered in black-gold scales. Its powerful hind legs ended in sharp dragon claws that gleamed coldly. A dragon's mane trailed along its dozens-of-meters-long tail.
"Roar~"
The black dragon roared toward the heavens. Its dragon's cry shook the sky and earth, a wave of sound crashing straight into Jiang Qize's mind.
Overwhelming dragon's might radiated outward, pressing down in all directions.
"It already has Admiral-level strength. Looks like this world isn't simple at all."
Jiang Qize's eyes shone.
Clang!
The black dragon twisted its body and turned to face him, its golden vertical pupils staring down at him with disdain.
Then it opened its massive jaws. A sphere of flame gathered in its mouth, distorting space from the heat.
Even the color of the sky shifted.
"Interesting. Today, I'll be a real dragon knight for once!"
Jiang Qize grinned. His legs bent sharply—
Boom!
The rock beneath his feet shattered into fragments as he shot forward like a bolt of lightning toward the black dragon.
Buzz!
The black dragon spat out the black flame sphere, its destructive aura scorching the air as it shot toward him.
Rumble—!!
The fireball exploded violently, a terrifying wave of fiery shock blasting outward in all directions.
The surrounding clouds were set ablaze by the firewave, churning wildly as they were driven back. The sky was completely dyed red, and waves of scorching heat filled the heavens.
