Abyss Summoner

Chapter 517 - 505: Ogre Camp

"A black dragon?" Chen Feng sat in the room, muttering to himself.

Li Linhua revealed a piece of news that even surprised him: on the land of Quanzhou, there was actually a giant dragon lurking.

Her ability is to soothe insects, and based on this ability, she has the ability to communicate with them. Through some understanding, she might be the only informer in this base.

Black Dragon.

Right in the heart of those monsters, the creatures would often feed each other with blood, and at certain times, they would even kneel on the ground in some kind of prayer posture.

It was time for Chen Feng to make a choice.

Either stay here, wait for the ships of Order to safely pick up these survivors, or follow the initial plan to attack the monsters’ camp, which might trigger an attack from a dragon.

There’s an unwritten rule in nature.

The strong are respected.

The purpose of Chen Feng going out was to find all resources that could enhance his strength. He had already been baptized twice by dragon blood, and now, if he could undergo a third dragon blood baptism, it would undoubtedly advance his power further.

In Li Linhua’s description, the creature is likely a beast living in the swamp...

Black Dragon!

Due to its skeletal face, the Black Dragon is sometimes called the Skeleton Dragon. The skin around its horn base and cheekbones gradually degenerates, deepening its skeletal impression. This degeneration intensifies with age but does not harm the Black Dragon. When hatched, its scales are thin, small, and smooth. As it ages, the scales grow large, thick, and dark grey, aiding its swamp camouflage.

Black Dragons prefer ambush in their surroundings. In swamp areas of dense forests, they stay in water or ground; trees and dense foliage limit their aerial mobility. If defeated, the Black Dragon flies out of sight and hides in deep ponds or swamps.

Dragons use strong claws and sharp teeth to attack their opponents. They also use breath attacks or unique physical attacks, depending on their type. Dragons prefer aerial combat, typically weakening foes with ranged attacks before closing in.

For instance, Red Dragons breathe fire, White Dragons unleash ice attacks, and Black Dragons can spew acid breath. Moreover, due to living in swamps, they wield water-related abilities.

Aquatic Breathing: Black Dragons can breathe underwater and freely use their breath weapons, magic, and other abilities while submerged.

Water Corruption: Black Dragons can turn lakes into muddy, lifeless waters, incapable of supporting animal life. This ability corrupts water-containing liquids.

Enchanting Reptiles: This ability functions like a group charm spell, but its effect influences only reptilian animals.

Black Dragons often build nests in moist expansive caves or dungeons with multiple rooms, emitting a foul odor. They primarily prey on aquatic animals but also hunt fresh meat outside.

Of course, the Dragon Race does not lack followers. As mighty beings, they enjoy enslaving creatures to serve them.

Working under the Black Dragon is not easy, as its vicious nature often kills slaves.

Compared to other chromatic dragons, Black Dragons are unusually slender—lean but not malnourished. Although its protruding horns appear terrifying, they are not used for attack. They merely protect the dragon’s head. Deep eye sockets form the noted skeletal appearance of its head.

Do not underestimate its appearance or question the dragon’s power, which is undoubtedly fatal.

If possible, Black Dragons feast on all beings, considering the flesh of magical creatures especially delicious. Their daily diet includes snakes, alligators, small mammals, and birds—swamp creatures.

Who would have thought such a powerful beast would be lurking in the monsters’ camp?

Li Linhua never told anyone these secrets because she knew how terrifyingly uneasy people would become upon hearing it.

Now, when Chen Feng promised to eliminate those monsters, she revealed the secret buried in her heart.

Monsters are terrifying enough; those strong beings who feed on humans would sincerely kneel before the dragon. Li Linhua cannot imagine their frightful power.

She even once believed she was merely a lab rat, that monsters delayed action anticipating fresh delicacies.

Upon realizing this, Li Linhua broke into a cold sweat.

But no matter what, Chen Feng had made his choice.

He would attack the monsters’ camp!

According to Li Linhua, the dragon often sleeps and only awakens briefly while feeding, then falls into deep slumber again.

Could it be...

It was nearing an upgrade stage?

Just like the Inferior Demon before, when power accumulates sufficiently, it uses sleep to absorb energy.

Of course, all this is speculation. To uncover everything, one must see with their own eyes.

Chen Feng was ready; the Black Dragon and those monsters had become his targets.

Three hundred warriors hastened to gather at the Beast Tamer’s signal, and after a brief rest, they proceeded towards the monsters’ camp that Li Linhua mentioned.

Chen Feng saw the monsters’ camp the following afternoon.

A group of creatures roughly three meters tall were building their homes, with gray skin, ugly faces, and large terrifying eyes.

In the camp center, some wooden stakes still bore a bloody, mutilated corpse.

This was a marker.

It signified the beginning of the monsters’ territory, where they possessed hunting rights, albeit with humans on their prey list.

"So, this is the monsters’ camp." Li Linhua, walking beside, appeared uneasy, having witnessed their fearsome devouring behavior for a long time.

She earnestly looked at Chen Feng for comfort, but he ignored her, instead muttering alone: "I thought it was some monster, turns out, it’s just a bunch of land-grabbing Ogres!"
