Chapter 562: Chapter 562: The Hunt

Hearing Kane’s roar, Song Jian’s eyes lit up, gritting his teeth to raise his Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword, with all his might, he hacked towards the horns of the Shadow Giant Dragon;

Boom! Boom! Boom!

With every slash, a cluster of brilliant sparks erupted from the dragon’s horn. Song Jian found that the hardness of the Shadow Giant Dragon’s horns was slightly higher than its scales, but it was far from the hardness of its skull. After a few slashes, a deep groove had appeared on the horn.

Feeling Song Jian hacking at its horn, the Shadow Giant Dragon was suddenly filled with fear and rage. It let out a roar, flapping its wings to fly into mid-air and rolling madly in the sky, constantly twisting its neck to ram against the rock wall of the Treasure Vault.

The entire Dark Castle, which is constructed by hollowing out an entire mountain peak, had several walls in the Treasure Vault which were actually heavy rock walls. After a few collisions, not only did the Shadow Beast suffer considerable damage, but Song Jian also felt a little dizzy and lost five or six hundred Vitality Points.

Just as Song Jian was about to give up, he suddenly received a system prompt:

System: Under the witness of the Spirit of Notary, the client who issued your task has died, and your task has been revoked;

Song Jian paused for a moment, then a look of ecstasy appeared on his face. His task was to hold off the Shadow Giant Dragon for half an hour. At this point, not even ten minutes had passed, and Song Jian had almost exhausted all his trump cards.

Half an hour, even Song Jian himself wasn’t confident he could hold on to. If it weren’t for this task, like the Sword of Damocles was hanging over Song Jian’s head. If he hadn’t already collected the task reward in advance, Song Jian would have given up and fled a long time ago.

“That guy really held on well!” Song Jian suddenly thought, Qi Yun had been swept into the huge shadow tornado, and it had already lasted for nearly a minute, not expecting him to only die now, it looked like he had exhausted all his cards before finally being killed.

Since the task has already been terminated, Song Jian didn’t need to desperately fight the Shadow Giant Dragon. At this point, he had the idea of retreating. Just then, the Shadow Giant Dragon made a head bash towards the rock wall;

The sharp dragon’s horn, like cutting through tofu, easily pierced the rock wall. Song Jian’s body shook violently and was fiercely smashed against the rock wall;

A damage of over three hundred points floated up from Song Jian’s head;

Just then, Song Jian heard a slight “crack” sound. The constant collisions had cracked the interior of the horn that he had slashed a flaw in.

By this time, the duration of Song Jian’s Immortal Sword Body state had long since ended. After constant collisions, Song Jian couldn’t hold on any longer, his hand loosened, and he fell from the head of the Shadow Giant Dragon.

As he fell, Song Jian looked at the horn he had already cut in half, and a ruthless look appeared in his eyes.

“Even if I can’t kill you, I’ll still give you a good bite!” Song Jian thought in his heart.

Light Strike!

A bright golden sword Qi struck towards the horn that was about to break off;

With a crack, the Shadow Giant Dragon let out a painful sizzle. The entire Treasure Vault started to shake violently. The rocks from the ceiling kept falling down;

Ding~

A clear sound echoed as a dragon’s horn, as long as an arm and sharp as a dagger, was embedded slantingly in the stone pillar in front of Song Jian.

“For the glory of the tribe!” Kane roared, lifting the Totem Pillar and preparing to charge at the Shadow Giant Dragon;

Song Jian stopped him and said, “This Giant Dragon isn’t something we can kill right now. Let’s retreat for now, build up our strength, and hunt it down when we’re stronger!”

Since there’s no need to complete the task anymore, Song Jian lost the meaning to continue the fight with the Shadow Giant Dragon. The Shadow Giant Dragon now was far superior to first grade Combat Power, which he and a half-baked Tauren Warrior could not kill.

To hold on for more than ten minutes under a Shadow Giant Dragon, that was already a spectacular accomplishment for Song Jian right now.

Hearing what Song Jian said, Kane hesitated, looking at the Shadow Giant Dragon rolling wildly in mid-air, his eyes showing reluctance.

Kane also understood that, although this Shadow Giant Dragon had suffered irreversible severe injuries and was also in its old age, its strength was undeniable.

If the fight continued, he and Song Jian would both be killed here;

“This time we take away its horn. Next time we take its life.” Song Jian pulled out the broken horn from the stone pillar and handed it to Kane.

“Alright, let it live for a little longer then…” Kane held the horn tightly, speaking grudgingly.

“Damn pests, how dare you damage the body of the great Blade of the Shadow Giant Dragon. Unforgivable!” The Shadow Giant Dragon opened its huge mouth, and its lava-like flame spewed at the two of them;

“Run!” Song Jian let out a loud shout, his figure turned into a dark shadow, and he sprinted towards the gates of the Treasure Vault;

Kane followed closely behind Song Jian with large strides. The scorching Dragon’s Breath swept over their feet, causing the rocks on the ground to slowly start to melt.

The two of them quickly rushed out of the Treasure Vault, the Shadow Giant Dragon was flapping its wings, catching up to them;

Song Jian saw that Kane was preparing to run towards the main door of the Dark Castle, he quickly pulled him by saying, “Let’s go to the sewer pipe!”

With that, he hurried towards the entrance of the pipe they had entered when they first arrived at the Dark Castle.

Hearing about the sewer pipe, Kane was stunned, but he followed Song Jian closely, and soon, he saw the sewer pipe;

Seeing Song Jian’s figure disappear at the entrance of the sewer pipe, Kane’s eyes lit up, without hesitation, he hoisted up the Totem Pillar and crawled in as well.

As soon as Kane crawled into the pipe, he could feel a strong collision from behind him. The Shadow Giant Dragon’s front paw had slammed heavily on the stone steps. The intense shaking caused the first section of the pipe to collapse;

The Shadow Giant Dragon’s body was too massive for it to crawl into the pipe. Even the Dragon’s servants probably never paid attention to this place.

“Dragon servants, capture those mice who like to burrow underground for me!” A furious roar of the Shadow Giant Dragon sounded from behind Song Jian.
