Swallowed Star: Holy Flesh

Chapter 25: Fighting, Fire Scale Trident Pig
The Fire Scale Trident Pigs are the number one group among pig monsters. They have thick skin and flesh and are notoriously difficult to deal with. But looking at the two Fire Scale Trident Pigs in front of him, Wang Xiu did not take them seriously.

For others, the Fire Scale Trident Pig might be a tough opponent. Facing two primary lord-level Fire Scale Trident Pigs joining forces, even a mid-level God of War would have to be careful.

But to Wang Xiu, whose body movements have reached the level of artistic conception, the Fire Scale Trident Pig is just a traitor.

In terms of strength, speed, and agility, Wang Xiu is more than one level stronger than the Fire Scale Trident Pig, not to mention Wang Xiu's abnormal recovery ability.

What Wang Xiu was really afraid of was the armored dragon!
As a dragon-type monster, the Ankylosaurus has no weaknesses in terms of speed, strength, or defense. It can be called a hexagonal warrior among monsters.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that the production capacity of the Armored Dragon was in decline, even if Wang Xiu had three more guts, he would not dare to make the Armored Dragon his first high-level lord-level opponent.

Wang Xiu flew past the monster in front of him swiftly and came close to the Fire Scale Trident Pig.

At this moment, white smoke came out of the mouth and nose of the Fire Scale Trident Pig, and it was roaring and rushing towards Wang Xiu.

"Roar..." With a deafening roar, the two Fire Scale Trident Pigs, which were originally extremely angry as if they wanted to tear Wang Xiu to pieces, suddenly became quiet and lowered their heads as if waiting for something.

The next moment, Wang Xiu's pupils shrank and he looked at the open space in front of the two Fire Scale Trident Pigs.

A blurry phantom suddenly appeared, and its shape condensed into a monster that was slightly shorter and thinner than the Fire Scale Trident Pig, with dark green scales all over its body.

Two streams of smoke angrily spewed out of the monster's nostrils, and its eyes were fixed on Wang Xiu who was rushing towards him.

"Is this the Iron-Armored Dragon?" Looking at the Iron-Armored Dragon, whose aura was completely different from that of the Fire-Scale Trident Pig, a strong desire to fight rose in Wang Xiu's heart.

"Come and fight!"

Wang Xiu roared angrily, abandoned the two Fire Scale Trident Pigs, and headed straight for the Iron Armored Dragon that had just appeared.

The Ankylosaurus could feel how powerful Wang Xiu was, which reminded it of the two humans who had come here not long ago.

In that battle, its unborn child was lost!
Thinking of the lost dragon egg, a hint of cruelty flashed in the Iron-Armored Dragon's fiery red pupils, and new and old hatreds surged into his heart.

"Roar!" With a deafening roar, the armored dragon instantly turned into a phantom and disappeared.

The next moment, the Iron Armored Dragon's tail, which was as long as its entire body, waved rapidly, turning into a dark green misty phantom, bringing up gusts of wind pressure and swinging towards Wang Xiu.

Wang Xiu's expression changed, and his whole body floated away leisurely as if floating in the wind.

No matter how fast the Iron Armored Dragon's tail was, it still just brushed past Wang Xiu.

However, the speed of the Iron Armored Dragon's tail was too fast, far exceeding the speed of sound. Although the tail did not actually touch Wang Xiu, the huge wind pressure still hit Wang Xiu hard.

Fortunately, Wang Xiu's physique is strong enough. If it were a weaker warrior, Wang Xiu suspected that the terrifying wind pressure alone would be enough to kill him.

The ankylosaurus did not give Wang Xiu any chance to breathe. After swinging its tail and missing, it pounced on Wang Xiu frantically.

There was no way Wang Xiu dared to confront the Iron Armored Dragon head-on. Even though the Iron Armored Dragon was in a weak period, its absolute strength was still far superior to that of Wang Xiu today.

Wang Xiu just relied on his artistic conception-level body skills to fight with the Iron Armored Dragon, and looked for opportunities to strike the Iron Armored Dragon from time to time.

While honing his swordsmanship, he also prepared to slowly kill the Iron Armored Dragon.

As a high-level lord, the Iron Armored Dragon was no less intelligent than humans, so he understood Wang Xiu's thoughts.

Seeing Wang Xiu dodging like a monkey, a trace of impatience flashed in the Iron-Armored Dragon's eyes. It swung its tail and released a series of sonic booms, forcing Wang Xiu back.

"Roar!" With a roar from the Ankylosaurus, all the monsters around, including the two Fire Scale Trident Pigs, suddenly became manic and rushed towards Wang Xiu with roars.

For a moment, Wang Xiu felt the pressure suddenly increasing.

After barely escaping from another sneak attack by the Iron-Armored Dragon, Wang Xiu resisted the attacks of the surrounding General-level monsters while keeping a close eye on the Iron-Armored Dragon and the two Fire-Scale Trident Pigs. To Wang Xiu, the surrounding General-level monsters simply couldn't keep up with his pace, and couldn't even block a single blow from him, being nothing more than cannon fodder.

But it was these cannon fodders that seriously slowed down his speed.

This is also the purpose of the Iron Armored Dragon, which is to use the lives of these ordinary monsters to hold Wang Xiu back, leaving him with nowhere to hide and becoming a living target.

Wang Xiu gritted his teeth, burst out with all his strength, and rushed towards the direction away from the Carrefour supermarket despite the attacks of countless ordinary monsters.

"Iron-armored Dragon, if you have the guts, follow me!" Wang Xiu roared provocatively.

High-level lord-class monsters like the Ankylosaurus can understand human language. Even if they can't, they can still hear the provocation in Wang Xiu's tone.

The Iron Armored Dragon was already furious, and had vented all his anger for losing the dragon egg on Wang Xiu. How could he be willing to let Wang Xiu leave just like that?

He immediately roared, turned into a misty phantom, and chased in the direction Wang Xiu left.

Wang Xiu, who was in the front, heard the sonic booms coming from behind him and looked back. He found that only the Iron-Armored Dragon and the Fire-Scaled Trident Pig had followed him. He couldn't help but feel certain.

"It's exactly what I thought."

The speed of ordinary monsters cannot catch up with the lords and the gods of war. As long as Wang Xiu shows his intention to retreat, the only three lord-level monsters that will catch up with him are the Iron-Armored Dragon and the Fire-Scaled Trident Pig.

Wang Xiu flew all the way and stopped in front of the roof of a low residential building.

This place is almost at the edge of City 003, far away from the beast herd.

"This is it."

"We have to kill that Fire Scale Trident Pig first." Wang Xiu held the sword in his hand, staring at the Iron Armored Dragon and the Fire Scale Trident Pig that were following closely behind him, and said secretly in his heart.

Although the two Fire Scale Trident Pigs seemed very weak to Wang Xiu, even to Wang Xiu, the primary lord-level Fire Scale Trident Pigs were simply unable to break through Wang Xiu's defense.

But given the size of the Fire Scale Trident Pig, its strength and speed are definitely at the god of war level.

The two Fire Scale Trident Pigs were like two high-speed moving roadblocks. If Wang Xiu's battle rhythm was not affected first, it would greatly affect them.

Later, when it saw that Wang Xiu was not running away, a hint of excitement flashed in the Iron Armored Dragon's fiery red eyes.

The power under his feet exploded and his speed increased again. In an instant, he turned into a phantom and rushed towards Wang Xiu's head.

Wang Xiu easily dodged the bites and attacks of the Iron-Armored Dragon with his artistic conception-level body skills and came behind the Iron-Armored Dragon. Before he could catch his breath, he saw a hazy phantom coming towards him with a series of sonic booms.

It's the tail of the Ankylosaurus!
Wang Xiu glanced at the two Fire Scale Trident Pigs behind him, and then at the green phantom in front of him that was as fast as lightning.

He gritted his teeth, burst out with all his strength, and slashed with the knife.

With the power of nearly one million kilograms, the sword split the scales on the armored dragon's tail.

"Damn, it's so hard?" Wang Xiu noticed something was wrong as soon as the sword touched the armored dragon's tail.

The scales and bones on this ankylosaur's tail are actually harder than the scales on its back!
Even though the sword in Wang Xiu's hand was an S-class sword that was extremely sharp, it only cut through the scales and penetrated the bones just half a centimeter before it could no longer penetrate deeper.

Wang Xiu was instead knocked back by this terrifying force and flew towards the two Fire Scale Trident Pigs behind him!

However, Wang Xiu was only surprised for a moment. Looking at the Fire Scale Trident Pig getting closer and closer to him, Wang Xiu smiled:
"Little pig, your dad is here!"
