Chapter 142 Capture
The raging flames, like exploding fireworks, spread rapidly outwards from Thor's body, while the surrounding fire and earth elements seemed to be summoned by an invisible force, continuously flowing into his body.
Even in the cave where the mushroom people's home is located in the distance, the magma surging in the crack seemed to be affected by this force and began to surge violently.
Under the combined effect of this powerful fire and earth magic, the rock walls around the crack in front of Thor instantly softened, and before they could be completely melted by the high temperature, he had already plunged inside.
The red dragon's body is indeed not like the deep dragon's, which allows it to move flexibly through various narrow crevices.
But Thor possessed greater strength, more abundant magic, and tougher scales, which allowed him to treat the hard rock as soft mud and forcefully squeeze his body into it.
The rumbling sound of breaking immediately rang out continuously, echoing far and wide along the network of caves.
Just as the fleeing dragon breathed a sigh of relief, it turned around upon hearing the commotion and saw a raging ball of fire rushing toward it at high speed. It was terrified.
That damned red dragon just charged right in, completely ignoring the narrow crevice and the various rugged rocks.
Were his scales forged from refined gold? How come they weren't scratched by the various protruding rocks?
Just as the deep dragon was pondering, Thor behind it slightly opened its ferocious maw, and dazzling flames gathered at its throat, transforming into an orange-red and blue beam of light that it spewed out.
The scorching rays streaked across the darkness, instantly covering a distance of tens or even hundreds of meters, before striking the Deep Dragon's hind leg hard.
A sharp pain suddenly struck him, causing his legs to buckle and nearly causing him to lose his balance while running at high speed. By the time he reacted, the red dragon behind him had already closed the distance further.
Damn it! What's going on?! Why does this red dragon have a beam breath attack? Isn't that a move only gem dragons can use?
More questions arose in the mind of the deep dragon, and the fear in its heart surged like the rising tide, almost drowning it completely.
But this was just the beginning. Immediately afterwards, a continuous stream of heat rays came out of Thor's mouth. Although the power was greatly reduced because it was not charged up, it was still something that the deep dragon's skin, which had no scales to protect it from, could not withstand.
With a faint hissing sound, his entire lower body quickly developed large and small charred dents, his skin was pierced, and his muscles were burned, so much so that a burnt smell filled the air.
This further slowed his escape. As the deep dragon drew ever closer, Thor couldn't help but grin, revealing a sinister smile.
Soon, the distance between the two was reduced to within thirty meters. Feeling that the distance was about right, he immediately gathered a large amount of earth elemental magic power and slammed his claws hard into the ground.
The intense tremors, mixed with magical energy, spread rapidly, quickly passing over the deep dragon ahead. Sharp rocks and shards of earth grew from the tunnel walls, intertwining and completely blocking the passage ahead.
The sudden turn of events caught Deep Dragon off guard, and it charged forward, breaking many of the earth spikes. However, with Thor's continuous supply of magic, even more spikes grew back.
"Scaleless loach, keep running! Why have you stopped?"
Heavy footsteps sounded, and the scorching heat drew ever closer.
After completely blocking the Deep Dragon's retreat, Thor also stopped, the flames rising from his body continuing to scorch the surrounding rock walls, melting them into viscous lava.
The space around his body gradually expanded, and his originally hunched body began to straighten up. He raised his head high and looked down at the terrified Deep Dragon in front of him.
The scorching lava spread outwards like a small river, quickly reaching the feet of the Deep Dragon. It desperately tried to retreat, but behind it were jagged spikes, leaving no room for retreat.
Seeing that escape was hopeless, Shenlong couldn't help but show a humble smile, and forced himself to speak while suppressing his heartache.
"Respected Red Dragon, I was wrong. I shouldn't have provoked you. Please forgive me this time!"
I am willing to pay you a sum of money to satisfy you in exchange for my freedom.
The wealth accumulated by a mature deep dragon is approximately 300,000 gold coins.
This was undoubtedly a considerable sum, enough to rival the entire fortune of some nobles, but it was far from enough to make Thor spare his life.
After all, the energy crystals and precious ores that Thor consumes every day cost a considerable sum. In fact, the 300,000 gold coins might not even be equivalent to his monthly food expenses.
More importantly, this inferior dragon species has no right to bargain with him.
The lava spreading across the ground had touched the deep dragon's claws, causing him intense burning pain.
Just then, he saw the red dragon's mouth split open not far away, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. But the words that followed instantly plunged him into despair.
"Inferior beings are not worthy to negotiate with me."
The next instant, he only saw a flash of red before his eyes, and the terrifying monster, covered in flames, crashed into him.
Dragons have always fought in a simple and brutal way, either exchanging breaths or engaging in close-quarters combat.
With his superior physical abilities, Thor completely overwhelmed the deep dragon the moment he made contact with it, and the dragon was powerless to fight back even when it fought desperately.
Thor's tough alloy scales can completely ignore the Deep Dragon's attacks, and every swing and bite of his sharp claws leaves a hideous wound on his opponent.
Even though the narrow cave restricted Thor's wings and tail swings, and the Deep Dragon was constantly unleashing bursts of magic and psionic energy, Thor still managed to break the Deep Dragon's limbs and tail in less than three minutes, rendering it completely unable to resist.
This was even with Thor holding back and not using his breath attack; otherwise, he could have killed Deep Dragon the moment he blocked its escape route.
Seeing the Deep Dragon lying on the ground, barely alive, like a giant salamander being scorched by the sun, Thor did not rush to end its life.
Although this guy is ugly and weak, he is still a real dragon. It would be a waste to kill him like this. We should extract more value from him.
Didn't he want to devour those fungus people? What if he turned the tables and let the fungus people's mycelium parasitize him?
It's time to talk to those cute little mushrooms. Hopefully, they'll be more sensible. Otherwise, Thor wouldn't mind trying something different and savoring roasted mushrooms.
The reason we didn't want to use coercion before was because we didn't know enough about these mushroom people. Now that we know they have no other choice, we should be more direct and straightforward.
