Chapter 1174

It was a black dragon with four sharp claws and a pair of folded wings.

It seemed to have shrunk in size. Including its tail, its body length was less than four meters, which was smaller than most exotic beasts.

But Elsa didn't look down on it. As a Viking, she knew very well how powerful a member of the Dragon race could be.

The black dragon naturally knew that Elsa, a Sage King, was not to be trifled with.

Once a human became a Sage King, they would obtain the inherited memories of a Sage King, and their physique would also improve greatly. This made them naturally strong enough to compete with demons and exotic beasts with powerful bloodlines.

But even so, the black dragon was only afraid of Elsa, not afraid of her, because he had defeated Saint King level human powerhouses more than once. If it wasn't strong enough, it would have been killed by the few super tribes in the forest.

Elsa was also vigilantly looking at the Black Dragon, inwardly calculating her chances of victory.

Just then, a voice suddenly sounded.

"A small lizard dares to call itself a dragon?!" The one who spoke was naturally the Blood Dragon King hiding in Elsa's body.

"Do you have a way to deal with it?" Elsa asked telepathically.

"I can swallow millions of such trash in one gulp." The Blood Dragon King's tone was full of disdain. "Why, do you want me to attack?"

"I reckon that Captain should have reached the vicinity of the Purgatory Demon Tree at his speed. I can't waste time here. Moreover, regardless of whether I win or lose, I will definitely suffer a lot of losses, and I won't be able to go all-out against that Tree Monster. "Elsa voiced out her worries.

"Then leave it to me! I'll show you my true strength today, lass! "The Blood Dragon King laughed heartily as it emerged from between Elsa's eyebrows and quickly took shape in the void.

The black dragon was stunned when he saw the crimson dragon taking shape in the void.

He was a Draconian descendant, but the crimson dragon in front of him was a True Dragon. Just its aura alone was enough to make him unable to move. If he had pores like humans, he would probably be sweating profusely by now.

The Blood Dragon King was very satisfied with his appearance when he saw the black dragon's reaction. He didn't have much to say to the Flood Dragon in front of him. He opened his mouth wide and a terrifying suction force swept out in all directions.

Within a radius of several hundred kilometers, only Erza was unaffected. A large number of Tree Spirits were uprooted and swallowed by him. The black dragon was unable to resist at all. It was shrunk by the suction force and swallowed into the Blood Dragon King's stomach.

The whole process took less than thirty seconds, and Elsa was dumbstruck.

Seeing Elsa's expression, the Blood Dragon King proudly said, "See, I only need one bite to swallow a Sage Monarch."

"Your battle prowess is limited by me, and you are only a Saint King. You were able to swallow the Black Dragon, who is also a Saint King, because of the suppression of your bloodline, right? If it were the captain or me, would you be able to swallow it in one gulp? " Elsa also understood a lot about the Dragon Race, so she was only surprised for a moment before realizing this.

"Ahem, if there's nothing else, I'll head back first. Aren't you in a hurry?!" The Blood Dragon King turned into a crimson glow again and returned to Elsa's brow.

After easily taking care of the black dragon, Elsa continued running toward the Purgatory Demon Tree.

However, Rong Ye from the War God Palace and Angelina from the Heaven Eater Temple were not so lucky. Both of them were entangled by two other Sage Monarch level beasts and could not get away for a while.

…

On the other hand, Gu Ding, as the first powerhouse to enter the demon tree forest, had finally arrived near the Purgatory Demon Tree.

The closer he got to his target, the more careful he became. This was because he knew very well how difficult it was to deal with Purgatory creatures.

Along the way, he had dealt with Purgatory creatures a few times, and almost none of them were easy to deal with. After all, it was impossible to survive in a plane with an extremely harsh environment like the Purgatory without a few tricks up their sleeves.

However, the Purgatory Demon Tree that Gu Ding had dealt with before was Purgatory Level 8 and above.

As for the Purgatory Demon Tree not far away, it was from Purgatory Level 11.

Legend had it that there were nineteen levels in Purgatory. From the first level down, each level's environment was many times harsher than the previous level, and the Purgatory creatures on each level were also many times stronger.

The creatures of Purgatory Level 8 and Purgatory Level 11 were not on the same level in terms of terror.

Squatting on a tree branch, Gu Ding peered through the leaves and saw the Purgatory Demon Tree not far away.

It was a small golden tree that was less than ten meters tall. In this forest, a plant of this size was practically the size of a baby. 108 branches hung down like willow twigs, and there were many tiny thorns on the branches.

However, among the 108 branches, only 36 had a crimson crystal at the end, which looked like a priceless gemstone.

Gu Ding only watched from afar and did not make a move.

He knew that if he attacked alone, the probability of getting the blood fruit was very low. This was because the Purgatory Demon Tree had 72 vines that could attack, and their attacks were no weaker than a Sage Monarch level powerhouse's full force attack. Moreover, if he attacked too early, it would be easy for others to take advantage of him.

Thus, Gu Ding chose to wait. It did not matter if it was his companions or others who were participating in the assessment. Even if there was one more person to join forces or restrain the Purgatory Demon Tree, his chances of getting the blood fruit would increase.

Not far from Gu Ding, the Purgatory Demon Tree had long noticed Gu Ding. It had originally planned to wait for Gu Ding to enter its attack range before immediately attacking. However, it did not expect Gu Ding to stop outside its optimal attack range.

Moreover, after the Purgatory Demon Tree secretly observed Gu Ding, it discovered that Gu Ding was stronger than the average Sage Monarch level powerhouse. As a life form that had grown up devouring flesh and blood, it had an extremely sensitive ability to sense the energy of flesh and blood. It could clearly feel that Gu Ding's flesh and blood were stronger than the average Sage Monarch level powerhouse, and not just by a little bit.

Although the Purgatory Demon Tree coveted Gu Ding's flesh and blood, it knew that Gu Ding was not easy to deal with. It was also waiting for the Sage Monarch level exotic beasts to defeat the Sage Monarch level intruders and come over to help it.

However, while it was observing Gu Ding for a moment, its avatar sent the news of the black dragon's death. It did not see the scene of the Blood Dragon King swallowing the black dragon. Otherwise, it would probably be thinking of how to escape now. After all, the scene of the Blood Dragon King swallowing the black dragon was too domineering and invincible. If one did not know the inside story, they would probably be shocked to see it.

"That idiot black dragon was actually killed. I hope that the other two fellows are fine …" The Purgatory Demon Tree began to feel a little apprehensive.
