Chapter 489 Water Insurrection (1/2)

Dumby let a powerful spirit shockwave loose at the Black Flood Dragon. The dragon let out a dull groan and shook its head. Then, with a roar, it charged at Gao Peng.

”Retreat!” Gao Peng ordered Da Zi.

Da Zi didn't need to be told twice. Fear gripped its heart as soon as it sensed the dragon's bloodlust. It had repressed the urge to fly away in fear simply because Gao Peng was riding on its back.

Upon hearing Gao Peng's command, Da Zi reflexively turned around and fled. Who knew Gao Peng was just as much of a coward as I am? it thought. Da Zi couldn't help but feel a slight hint of joy at the thought of having something in common with its master.

The Black Flood Dragon was flying towards them at a terrifying speed. Its huge black body stirred the air around it, its tail sweeping away the clouds in its wake. A foul, ominous wind was now blowing in Gao Peng's direction. Dumby launched itself towards the incoming dragon in the form of a golden blur.

The two figures collided against one another. The dragon's momentum was slowed down somewhat by the impact.

While the dragon was distracted, the Desolate Frost Lion came at it from behind, slashing its back with its claws and leaving three bloody lines. Blood spurted out before freezing over and shattering into fragments of ice.

The Black Flood Dragon let out another roar at Gao Peng's receding figure, infuriated that its prey was getting away.

Hmmm… A shiver ran down Gao Peng's spine. He suddenly sensed imminent danger as he retreated with Da Zi. The rain fell hard on his hair, shoulders, and Da Zi's thorax, while the flood raged on beneath his feet.

His hair stood on end as if he had sensed that something bad was about to happen. ”Goldie, put up an anti-magic field around us.”

At almost the same time, the water around them tore down its benign exterior and bared its fangs at them.

When Goldie's anti-magic field was activated, all the elements inside it would be expelled, like a mean-spirited landlord would kick tenants who hadn't paid the month's rent out of his apartment building. Just as they were forcibly ejected from the field, they exploded.

Boom! Sounds of explosions rocked the air as if someone had struck a gong multiple times. Gao Peng could see countless water droplets explode into a fine blue mist in the air.

Goldie's anti-magic field could only repel the elements. Unfortunately, it had no effect on the corporeal.

The water that had drenched Gao Peng from head to toe ”exploded” as well, causing his body to tremble suddenly. It was a good thing that his damage transference effect was active when the explosion happened, allowing all the damage he could have received to be directed to Goldie. Save for his clothes and pants, which were completely ruined, Gao Peng came out relatively unscathed.

A sudden wind blew at him, directing a light drizzle onto his face. Gao Peng couldn't help but shiver.

Everything on the ground was completely leveled. When the explosion happened, Gao Peng saw that a couple of mountains were in the blast radius. Mountains that were as high as 300 feet were subsequently reduced to piles of rubble.

The flooded Wu Gorge base city was blown up beyond recognition. Not a single corpse was left intact on the ground. The few remaining buildings that had still been standing had collapsed. The debris was now being swept up by whirlpools that had appeared during the deluge.

The elements around Gao Peng and company were thrown into a state of confusion. The explosion of every water droplet in the area had sent ripples to other parts of the flood. Water from afar began flowing in to fill in the sudden gaps that were left.

Then, there was silence. Gao Peng's nose was assaulted by the slightly unpleasant smell of river water at that moment.

The Desolate Frost Lion and Dumby didn't seem to falter during the explosions around them. They were able to form elemental barriers over their bodies just in time to shield themselves from the dragon's Water Insurrection effect. However, the force of the explosion had affected their movements somewhat, causing them to slow down momentarily.
