My wife is a dragon.

Chapter 255: The Tacit Cooperation between the Dragon and the Hero
When the last remaining red light of the sunset disappeared into the sky.

The majestic roar from the silver dragon gradually faded away.

A heavy and ancient sound echoed over the earth, like an ancient bell weighing thousands of tons striking its last long note, carrying with it an eternal sense of distance and desolation.

Further west.

The golden mountain top has not yet been completely engulfed by the night.

Birds and animals thousands of kilometers away were frightened by the movement in this desolate land and fled in all directions, as if they heard the warning of some top predator before starting the slaughter.

Xia Li can be sure of this.

This roar of the evil dragon must have been infused with a considerable amount of magic power, otherwise it would not have spread so far.

"Can you understand the sound waves just now?"

Lucia stood on the charred ground, her terrifying weight almost causing her legs to sink into the ashes of the earth.

She raised her head proudly and asked the person above her.

"Can't understand."

Xia Li shook his head honestly.

"It roughly translates to: 'From now on, this is my territory. Anyone who doesn't accept it can come and challenge me, or I will mark my territory!'" Lucia translated.

“How do I mark this?”

After Xia Li heard this, his focus shifted completely to other things.

Lucia rolled her eyes, stared at the hero sitting in the middle of his brow and said:

"Of course I use magic... our dragons are having a lot of fun!"

She explained all the ways dragons mark their territory.

Like most wild animals, male dragons are keen on marking their territories with their scent, while female dragons like to pile up their favorite items in the most conspicuous place in their territory as a mark.

In addition to these 'physical' markers, which are similar to living habits, there are also 'magical' markers.

The dragon will radiate the magic power in its body, leaving its own magic ripples in the territory.

Doing so would not only prevent unnecessary biological invasions, but would also warn other approaching dragons.

If you step into the range of magic fluctuations, it means invasion, and also means going to war with the owner of the territory.

"Almost all creatures with magic and intelligence can sense the ripples of an adult dragon. But humans can't. The sensory abilities of the human body are too weak. Unless they are great magicians who are highly compatible with the elements, or humans who possess divine artifacts, ordinary humans cannot sense our existence at all."

After Lucia explained this, Xia Li listened very carefully.

The voice of a majestic adult dragon reached Xia Li's ears, but it was the crisp voice of a young girl.

After saying that, Lucia began to shake her body from the neck down like a big dog that had fallen into the water.

When darkness fell at night, the luster emerging from the silver dragon's body was brighter than the stars and the bright moon, and tiny powder appeared on every dragon scale.

When Lucia shook it like this, the silver powder spread out like snow crystals.

"Snowing!"

Lucia wagged her tail and admired the scene she had brought about.

It’s a pity that she has never seen snow on Earth.

Xia Li said that she would take her to see the four seasons on Earth in the future... After getting their ID cards, they could really go traveling!

"Ah."

Xia Li spread out his left hand, and a few snowflakes floated down from the top of his palm and fell into his palm.

The silver snow in the sky looks like stars falling from the sky, with an indescribable beauty.

But Xia Li knew...

This is not snow.

This is magic power coming from the silver dragon's body, so strong that it can be seen with the naked eye.

This is a magical ripple that even Xia Li, a magic idiot, can see. As long as the undead general is still in this desolate post-war land, he will definitely feel the provocation from the silver dragon.

Xia Li held the hilt of the Demon-Exorcising Sword in his right hand, feeling inexplicably nervous.

"coming!"

The girl's sweet and soft voice touched Xia Li's nerves.

He raised his head slightly and looked forward along the endless darkness.

A faint, faint light white color appeared in the distance.

The white color was translucent and floated at the junction of heaven and earth, as if it was the light from the soul.

Xia Li saw countless bones in the area covered by white light.

Those bones came from humans, beasts, and even dragons...

The bones were pieced together to form strange body structures. Driven by an unknown force, they moved forward rigidly like machines.

Just within the area Xia Li's eyes swept over, there were already hundreds or even thousands of corpses.

I have to say that Lucia's method of waiting for something to happen is really useful.

But, think about it from another angle...

Why does such a scene appear in my daily love life?

Xia Li always has a sense of unreality and mystery.

It felt like I was sitting on the sofa just a second ago, watching TV while holding Elong in my arms and chewing the lychees that Elong had just peeled.

How come I have to face the enemy on the battlefield in the next second? ?
and……

Isn't it too fast?!

The story has just been told and we are about to deal with the ultimate BOSS.

It feels like you have just accepted a mission and are already fighting the BOSS and using ultimate moves before the animation CG has even started.

Don't do a plot-killing later, okay?
There shouldn't be such a thing?

Xia Li thought anxiously.

The last time he came to the continent of Aize, he faced danger with sword in hand.

It's different now.

Last time he was alone, but this time he brought his wife with him.

There is one more person I want to protect, so the difficulty doubles.

but……

It seems that this dragon really does not need his protection, right?
"Zoom in directly?"

Xia Li gripped the hilt of the sword tightly and asked the silver dragon under his feet with some uncertainty.

"You still have a big one?"

Lucia also made a surprised sound.

"I'm sure I have a big one..."

Xia Li's tone was neither funny nor sad.

I thought this dragon knew me inside out. At least they have been together for so long, so he should know something.

"You didn't say that!" Lucia retorted.

Xia Li thought about it and realized that it was true.

"Mainly because you never asked."

"We didn't know each other well before, how could I dare to ask you about your affairs!"

Lucia snorted lightly, her tone somewhat dissatisfied, but her eyes were fixed on the enemy not far away.

In this world, it is a taboo to inquire about the other party's strength.

Not to mention, Lucia is a dragon and Xia Li is a hero. The relationship between the two is very sensitive, so she never asked.

"Not familiar?" Xia Li looked down at Long, "I think our relationship is very close."

"How can it be so familiar... and it's not thorough!"

"Ah? Hmm???"

Xia Li wondered if he had misheard something.

Lucia coughed lightly and didn't want to continue arguing with him.

"Leave the BOSS to me, you fight the minions. When the BOSS falls, you can go and get that artifact." Lucia said in a different tone.

The girl's slightly childish voice suddenly stopped, and was replaced by a command voice with a hint of mature charm.

Looking at the undead army approaching from a distance, even Lucia felt a rare sense of oppression.

Countless skeleton soldiers, and immeasurable magical power shrouding them.

Lucia felt sad when she thought about the fact that these enemies were not only numerous and of high quality, but also not afraid of death.

The artifact is indeed an artifact.

If we must compare the pure-blooded dragon with the divine weapon, Lucia thinks that the pure-blooded dragon is inferior to the divine weapon.

There is no doubt that only Xia Li can balance this battle.

but……

Pushing weak humans to the center position is not in line with the arrogant style of the dragon.

So Xia Li only needs to clean up the mess. She will take the lead.

The dragon's pupils, which were as clear as those of a college student who had just graduated, narrowed slightly, and his expression changed instantly.

Only arrogance and cruelty remained in her golden-red eyes. Lucia took a step forward and took a deep breath through her dragon nose.

The flat abdominal cavity slowly bulges until the stomach is filled with gas.

The first breath was warning smoke, the second was fire.

Gas mixed with magic power spurted out from the mouth, forming a high-temperature flame of thousands of degrees Celsius the moment it came into contact with the air.

Dragon Breath!

Lucia swung her large tail and lowered her dragon head to sweep out the flames.

In an instant, thousands of undead souls turned into ashes.

The corpse controlled by the soul power evaporated on the spot, and under the destruction of magic, not even ashes were left.

but……

This is a battlefield.

The thing that is most lacking here is bones.

As a group of undead warriors fell, a new group of undead rose up from under the cursed soil.

This is the border between the empire and the kingdom. The originally fertile land has been repeatedly washed away by wars. Countless soldiers will never be able to return home in their lifetime and will be buried forever under their feet.

"I chose the wrong battlefield!"

Lucia couldn't help but complain.

She used her big tail to swat away the group of white bones that surrounded her, and her eyes wandered in the white light around her, trying to find the final BOSS who held the summoning artifact.

Xia Li stood on the dragon head the whole time without moving.

He did not deal with the soldiers as Lucia said.

Instead, he remained extremely calm, searching for the key person on the ground which was as densely populated as termites swarming out of their nest.

Xia Li’s mentor once told him.

Because he is a brave man and a hero of mankind, he must be prepared every time he draws his sword.

Only in this way would he be qualified to draw the demon-killing sword behind him.

Xia Li knew what her mentor meant by saying this - she wanted to prevent herself from going down the wrong path.

In the eyes of the humans in this world, Xia Li came here to save the world.

But actually.

Saving the world and the like is still too far away for Xia Li.

Perhaps he once carried justice and passion in his heart and experienced an adventure of his own on this land.

but now……

The justice in his heart has disappeared.

Rather than taking care of everyone, he wanted to take care of his own and Lucia's small family.

If he is allowed to make a choice without considering other factors.

He certainly didn't want to come to the battlefield with Lucia and get himself involved in the water and fire of this world.

But he couldn't help but consider other factors.

He wanted to take Lucia home, and also make sure that he could come into this world safely fifty years later.

Therefore, he must draw out this sword.

The heat wave blew across his face, and the updrafts caused by the high temperature made Xia Li's clothes rustle.

Xia Li slowly opened his closed eyes.

Perhaps there is some kind of induction between the artifacts.

Xia Li's sight was fixed on the central position not far ahead.

That skeleton monster was different from the surrounding skeletons.

There were still traces of flesh and blood on its cheeks, shoulders, and legs, and its eyeballs, without any eyelids, were staring blankly ahead.

In fact, there were also bodies like it that had not yet completely decayed around, but when all the skeletons were moving slowly forward like machines, only it stood still.

What’s even more special is that while all the skeletons are holding cold weapons, it is holding a magic staff.

The staff is made of charred and carbonized dead wood, and the tip of the staff is a translucent dodecahedral crystal.

The crystal emits the same white light as its surroundings.

Among the numerous skeletons, its existence is indeed difficult to detect. No wonder Lucia hasn't seen it after searching for so long.

The moment Xia Li's eyes met, the skeleton wearing general's armor moved.

Its ferocious eyes rolled and it tilted its head. There was some muscle fascia connecting the bones of its neck, and these fascia twisted in the direction of its tilted head, making it look somewhat scary.

Fortunately, Xia Li had watched many horror movies about zombies and the undead on Earth beforehand, so he had a certain immunity to them.

This is scarier than a haunted house in an amusement park.

It was probably enough to scare Chen Tao to tears and Qin Chuan into breaking out in cold sweats.

Thinking back to his friends and family on Earth, Xia Li's originally serious expression relaxed a lot.

He smiled gently and slowly raised the hand holding the Demon-Exorcising Sword.

Bend your legs and bend your body.

The next moment, it was fired out like a cannonball!

Lucia's eyes widened in surprise.

The area between my eyebrows was suddenly stepped on hard, with great force exerting a strong impact on my back.

When I looked again, Xia Li was gone.

Lucia hurriedly touched her head with her front paws.

Fortunately, her figure is considered slender among dragons, otherwise her claws wouldn't be able to reach her head.

After touching for a long time, Lucia still couldn't touch Xia Li on her head.

The brave man ran away!
Isn't it asked him to clean up the monsters?

Before she had time to get angry at the hero's unauthorized actions, Lucia was like a cat that had lost its toy, lying on the ground and looking for someone like an ant on a hot pan.

The body was so large that she needed to put her head to the ground to see the figure clearly.

Fortunately, she had amazing defense, and these undead soldiers couldn't hurt her at all.

Xia Li's departure forcibly controlled the dragon.

Xia Li couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene.

Obviously, they had a very good tacit cooperation on Earth...

After coming to the continent of Aze, it cannot be said that there is no cooperation, but it can be said that there is no tacit understanding at all.

Finally, she saw a tiny bit of blue light in the vast white transparent light. Lucia calmed herself down, shook her dragon butt, and crawled back half a step.

"Hide to the left!" she shouted.

Lucia also noticed the special skeleton soldier in front of Xia Li.

She didn't intend to make any moves.

Destroy the enemy as quickly as possible... this is how an adult dragon should act.

She is no longer the ignorant little dragon who likes to ravage and torture her enemies to death!

The abdominal cavity was filled with air again, and Lucia opened her bloody mouth and sprayed out dragon's breath.

Her eyes widened.

But he watched Xia Li standing in the center of the flames, with no intention of dodging at all.

It shouldn’t be!

When this hero slayed a dragon in the continent of Aze, his body was as agile as a monkey. How could he not be able to avoid Lucia's breath when she had warned him in advance!

Lucia almost choked on the fire in her mouth.

But she was still a step too late. The dragon's breath had already been sprayed out, and there was no reason to take it back halfway.

Hi!

angry!

It was her first time cooperating with the hero, so it was normal that there was no tacit understanding.

However, it doesn’t make sense that the hero deliberately played her!
Under the dragon's breath, Xia Li's body stood still.

These flames wrapped in magic power seemed to be dispersed by some force and split to the left and right just before they touched him.

He stood in the river of flames, and the sea of ​​fire changed endlessly behind him.

The raging flames burned the earth and destroyed the corpses, but did not set his clothes on fire at all.

Lucia almost forgot...

Xia Li, with his sword drawn, possesses extremely powerful abilities to repel demons.

It's not like she had never fought with Xia Li in this state before. She tried her best but couldn't touch Xia Li. How could she possibly hurt him with just a mere dragon breath!
