If Xie Feng rode on Ling Long in her mount form and used his active skills to push his movement speed even further, he could easily reach his destination in about 3-4 hours. Furthermore, considering that the problems in the air were much less than the problems on the earth because normal monsters could not fly and had no way to attack him, this would reduce the amount of time needed even further.
However, the current Xie Feng was in no hurry. He simply wasn’t in the mood to rush.
With his mind somewhat clouded, if he encountered any kind of danger or a situation that required his full concentration in order to display 100% of his skills to perfection, Xie Feng would simply end up meeting a painful and regrettable death. Therefore, instead of rushing things, he preferred to take a short break so that he could continue to fight in optimal conditions.
At the same time that his enemies were astonished and exclaimed in amazement at his reaction speed and reflexes, Xie Feng was also very clear about how terrifying these characteristics of his were. However, in order to make good use of his reaction speed and reflexes, Xie Feng needed his brain analysis skills to be at their peak; this was something he could not do with his mind occupied with other thoughts.
Therefore, Xie Feng enjoyed riding Ferghana’s horse while spending his time with Ling Long.
He wisely took advantage of the five-hour duration of the Illusory Light Body skill. During the time Ling Long was in her human form, Xie Feng carefully and meticulously taught her the letters of the alphabet, then put those letters together to form short words and patiently explained to Ling Long the meaning of each word.
Ling Long was truly exceptional. Her intelligence was so high that in many cases she did not need Xie Feng to repeat a word twice before she already understood its meaning and stored this new knowledge in her brain. Since she wished with all her might to be able to communicate with him more often, Ling Long put all her effort into learning and little by little this effort began to show obvious results.
Although it was currently impossible, Xie Feng was sure that at this rate it wouldn’t be long before Ling Long would be able to communicate with him and the rest of the girls like a normal person. Even if it was unfortunate that this was only possible for five hours a day, Xie Feng was not discouraged in the slightest. Since Ling Long’s Illusory Light Body skill was related to her Light Resistance, then Xie Feng estimated that as long as this resistance increased, the amount of time Ling Long would be able to maintain her human form would also increase accordingly.
Who knows, Ling Long might be able to maintain her human form indefinitely and she might be able to switch between her dragon and human form with complete freedom once her Light Resistance surpassed the 100% threshold. Of course, this was not as easy as it seemed; but as long as there was a way forward, then it was no dead end.
“Ling Long, let’s try something different.” Xie Feng caressed the beauty’s silky hair in his arms as he urged Ferghana’s horse to stop.
“Okay, big brother!” Ling Long nodded cutely and once again showed that little by little her mastery over the human language was evolving by leaps and bounds.
Xie Feng simply smiled lightly and kissed her cheek, much to Ling Long’s delight.
They both got off Ferghana’s horse and walked for a few meters through the forest in search of some monster. They didn’t have to look too hard because soon enough a beast appeared in front of them.
[Mutant Lizard –
[Level: 28
[HP: 4800
[Description: It has hard scales and a bite covered with germs. When bitten there is the possibility of getting infected].
A lizard about seven meters long crawled on its four legs as it peacefully drank water from a lake, unaware that imminent danger lurked a short distance away.
Xie Feng pointed at the lizard that had not yet noticed them and said in a low voice, “Ling Long, you kill it.”
Ling Long nodded and hurried out from behind the tree they had been hiding in.
Xie Feng narrowed his eyes, not wanting to miss the slightest detail of what was going to happen next. A while ago he had always had a question that bothered him… Since Ling Long had no claws or dragon wings in her human form, what would happen to her attacks then? After all, Ling Long’s skills relied on her sharp claws to cause more damage and her small wings to move at terrifying speeds after triggering Instant Flap.
Therefore, Xie Feng wished to learn more about Ling Long’s human form before unforeseen events happened.
The lizard quickly sensed someone approaching its place so it stopped drinking water and looked to its right. The beast hissed like a snake and a tongue of almost seventy centimeters came out of its mouth in a threatening manner.
Unfortunately, Ling Long was not scared in the least and continued to move forward.
The mutant lizard was enraged at being challenged by the small human in front of it and charged over.
Swoosh!
With a swift movement, the mutant lizard waved its rear tail in a wide arc. The tail that measured more than half the total size of the beast only took a second to reach in front of Ling Long!
However, what happened next made Xie Feng dumbfounded.
Without any sign, Ling Long suddenly burst out with six times the normal speed, surpassing 600 points of movement speed, and appeared on the other side of the mutant lizard. She raised her small snow-white fist and punched directly at the beast’s scales.
-5876
The mutant lizard was sent flying four or five meters before falling heavily to the ground only to never get up again; its health bar had been completely drained by Ling Long’s attack.
Xie Feng’s mouth opened wide and a look of disbelief flashed in his eyes.
What happened!!!
Xie Feng was no fool, even from a single glance he managed to draw several conclusions and wild ideas. But precisely because they were wild ideas he didn’t dare to believe it before confirming it with 100% certainty.
“Did I do good?” Ling Long approached with a smile hoping to be praised.
“You did well… Great.” Xie Feng didn’t know what to say and could only nod as he patted her hair gently.
To confirm his theories, Xie Feng led Ling Long along the forest. Every time a mutant lizard appeared, Ling Long did not need Xie Feng to urge her as she advanced to end the monster’s life after a single blow.
After doing this ten times, Xie Feng finally began to laugh out loud as if he had become demented. In his moment of joy, he rained countless kisses on Ling Long’s face and forehead. Unfortunately, he was so absent-minded that he didn’t notice a small blush on his human-like pet’s pretty face.
Although Ling Long felt a little strange, she didn’t know what it was. But since she liked to be appreciated by her master, she did not resist in any way and enjoyed the shower of kisses.
As for the reason why Xie Feng was happy? It was because he came to a surprising and frightening revelation at the same time.
Ling Long’s physical attack damage was 2975 points. In her small dragon form and using her claws, she could inflict approximately 5950 points of physical damage when attacking with her two little hands at the same time.
After the evolution of the Calamity Claw skill, Ling Long no longer dealt her physical damage x 4, so in a sense it could be said that her battle ability against normal monsters had dropped while her battle ability against powerful monsters had increased thanks to the new skill Annihilation Claw.
But since Ling Long had a base attack speed of 150 points, she could attack a total of three times in two seconds; but if she used her two hands at the same time, Ling Long could attack six times in two seconds! Precisely because of this, Xie Feng had not been too hurt by Calamity Claw.
After all, by activating Annihilation Claw, Ling Long’s attack power would suffer a huge leap; this skill would open the gates that would give her the ability to fight against higher-ranked monsters.
Even so, the drop in damage and effectiveness against normal monsters was undeniable.
However, Xie Feng had just discovered something terrifying that completely delighted him.
In her small dragon form, Ling Long could deal 5950 points using both small hands at the same time… But in her human form, Ling Long could inflict that much damage using only one fist! In other words, if Ling Long punched with both fists, she could directly inflict almost twelve thousand points of damage!
Twelve thousand points of physical damage without any skill activated! This amount of damage was even higher than Xie Feng’s amount of physical damage by a wide margin!
You should know that currently Xie Feng’s base physical damage was 1138 points. Thanks to the effect of Wind Aura, his physical damage was directly multiplied x2, increasing his damage directly to 2276. By activating Redemption Stab, a skill with no cooldown and no attrition to him, Xie Feng’s damage was again multiplied x2, rising to 4552.
But even then, the difference in the damage he and Ling Long could deal was almost triple!
