Chapter 88: Escaping Death

“Ferrum Dragon, even as a High Lord, cannot fly; it can only run and leap. In the high altitude, it’s unable to change its leaping direction. It’s easy to shake off,” Luo Feng thought calmly. Stepping on his hexagonal shield, he directly carved an arc in midair before soaring straight into the sky.

One eye of the Ferrum Dragon was already blind, leaving only one intact eye, which stared fixedly at Luo Feng.

“Awooo~~” With a frenzied roar, the Ferrum Dragon suddenly lashed out with its massive draconic tail!

Xiu!

Over ten meters long, the dragon tail instantly transformed into a cyan afterimage, sweeping toward Luo Feng. The distance between them was instantly closed by the ten-meter-long tail. The running speed of the High Lord ‘Ferrum Dragon’ already far exceeded supersonic speed, and the speed of its tail swing was more than ten times its running speed!

The speed of the dragon tail was several times faster than the fastest sniper bullet! This was the terror of a High Lord!

“Chi!”

The edge of the dragon tail generated a stream of ultra-high-pressure air due to its extreme velocity.

“I can’t be touched. Still half a meter away!” Luo Feng instantly judged.

The tip of the dragon tail was still half a meter away from Luo Feng’s chest, only helplessly sweeping past. However, the stream of air compressed to the extreme hit Luo Feng’s chest like a giant stone hammer, making it feel as if one couldn’t breathe at all.

“Peng!” Luo Feng’s body was thrown backward, and he hurriedly controlled the shield to stabilize himself.

“Truly a High Lord; even the high-pressure airflow from its tail nearly knocked the breath out of me,” Luo Feng felt a surge of blood rising to his throat. Unable to hold it back any longer, he spat out a mouthful of blood with a ‘Pu’ sound.

Then, looking afar at the Ferrum Dragon high in the distant sky, he saw the massive body of the Ferrum Dragon falling downward: “You are a land beast. Unless you become a King-level being, you are destined to be unable to fly!” Luo Feng smiled slightly, his mood completely relaxed as he rapidly ascended diagonally on his shield.

Hu!

Soaring through the air was truly exhilarating!

“Awooo~~” The Ferrum Dragon trampled the city streets, leaping onto the rooftop of a residential building that was 28 stories high, then forcefully pushing off again… immediately causing the rooftop of this residential building to collapse and crack, with large chunks of concrete rolling down from the high-rise.

Using this push, the Ferrum Dragon leaped up to a height of over one hundred meters from the ground, roaring toward Luo Feng’s direction.

“Ferrum Dragon, no matter how good your jumping ability is, it’s useless.” Luo Feng had already rapidly ascended the moment the Ferrum Dragon pushed off the rooftop of the residential building… continuing to climb higher, easily reaching a height of three hundred meters.

The Ferrum Dragon could only helplessly fall.

Hu! The Ferrum Dragon swung its tail and struck the air, actually using the strong rebound resistance of the air to rapidly descend.

“It’s useless.”

Luo Feng continued to ascend and flew toward the outskirts of City 003.

“Boom~~” A piercing sound came from below.

“Uh?”

From high above, Luo Feng looked down and saw the Ferrum Dragon darting through the city, sometimes leaping over residential buildings, sometimes running along the streets, sometimes sprinting across houses, relentlessly chasing Luo Feng’s direction.

“It still won’t give up!” Luo Feng’s expression slightly changed. “As a High Lord, the Ferrum Dragon’s vision is extremely powerful. Even if I fly to a height of two or three thousand meters, as long as there’s no obstruction, it can see me!” Not to mention a High Lord, even Luo Feng himself could see human figures two or three miles away.

This Ferrum Dragon, seeing human figures five or six miles away, wasn’t strange at all.

“My flying speed doesn’t exceed supersonic speed. But its running speed is faster than supersonic. It’s hard to shake it off.”

“I have to break through the clouds!” Luo Feng quickly ascended again!

Swoosh!

Stepping on the hexagonal shield, he directly charged upward, aiming to break through the clouds. Once above the clouds, the Ferrum Dragon wouldn’t be able to see Luo Feng’s figure and naturally wouldn’t be able to continue chasing.

“Ga~~~”

“Ga ga ga~~~”

With a series of piercing cries, a dark mass of avian-type monsters appeared from the distant northwest, flying directly toward Luo Feng.

“I’m really stupid!” Luo Feng cursed himself. The sky was almost entirely the domain of avian-type monsters. Only some extremely fast fighter jets could fly in the sky… and human warriors daring to fly in midair would naturally be attacked by surrounding avian clans!

Before the Great Nirvana era, avians already had excellent vision. Let alone now.

These avian-type monsters probably noticed him flying in the sky from afar and immediately gathered their clan to surround and kill him!

“When I was at the Carrefour supermarket, I could still compete with those land beasts in aerial agility. But if I compete with these avians in agility… I’m just looking for death!” Without hesitation, Luo Feng immediately dove toward the city below upon spotting the dark mass of avian-type monsters.

Facing an avian clan in the air meant certain death!

But facing the solitary Ferrum Dragon, as long as he kept his distance, he still had hope of survival.

“Awooo~~” Seeing the human flying in the sky dive downward, the Ferrum Dragon immediately chased after Luo Feng.

During his dive, Luo Feng carved a large arc!

Swoosh!

He directly charged toward a twelve-story residential building, like lightning, rushing straight into the balcony and windows, and with a bang, the glass on the balcony shattered as he rushed inside.

“Boom~~” The Ferrum Dragon, like a deep cyan stream, charged fiercely and collided with the balcony of the eighth floor where Luo Feng had previously entered. Under the terrifying speed of the Ferrum Dragon’s collision, the entire residential building shook violently. The concrete wall in the center of the floor collapsed and cracked, and the entire building slowly began to collapse.

“Human!”

The Ferrum Dragon let out its beastly roar, locking onto another afterimage ahead. The afterimage of Luo Feng once again rushed into another residential building.

“Boom~~”

The Ferrum Dragon feared that even a moment’s hesitation would let Luo Feng escape, so without any hesitation, it directly collided with the position Luo Feng had passed through… the entire residential building was cut in half from the center and then slowly collapsed again!

This was a medium-sized residential complex, with more than twenty twelve-story buildings alone. Luo Feng and the Ferrum Dragon, one chasing the other, almost consecutively destroyed eight residential buildings… passing through the glass windows of the buildings didn’t affect Luo Feng’s speed at all. However, for the massive body of the Ferrum Dragon, breaking through a residential building significantly affected its speed.

But the Ferrum Dragon dared not hesitate!

Because the residential buildings blocked its vision!

“Boom~~” When the eighth residential building was destroyed, the Ferrum Dragon suddenly stopped, standing on the ground.

The eighth residential building slowly collapsed, falling toward the Ferrum Dragon, but the Ferrum Dragon didn’t even try to dodge. With a bang… the entire building crashed onto its body, but compared to the hardness of the Ferrum Dragon’s body, the residential building was as fragile as tofu, causing no harm to it.

“Human, human…” The Ferrum Dragon was furious, letting out one roar after another, looking around.

Yes!

It had lost Luo Feng!

In a dark electrical room in the underground garage of this residential complex, Luo Feng was leaning against the wall.

“Hu, xi, hu, xi.” Luo Feng breathed slowly, feeling the pain coming from his chest, blood seeping out from inside his combat suit.

“This injury is pretty serious. Earlier, to escape the encirclement of a large number of Captain-level beasts, I was already seriously injured. Just now, the high-pressure air flow generated by the Ferrum Dragon’s tail hit my chest, making the injury even worse.” Luo Feng gently rubbed his chest a couple of times, waves of pain spreading through him, making his face even paler.

Although his injuries were severe, his mood was good.

“I’m hiding in this underground garage, in this electrical room. The Ferrum Dragon probably can’t find me.” Luo Feng showed a slight smile; his escape plan had already been formulated when he rushed into this residential complex.

Residential complexes like this definitely had underground garages.

Repeatedly passing through the residential buildings, each time blocking the Ferrum Dragon’s line of sight… even though the Ferrum Dragon was so fierce, repeatedly destroying the buildings. But finally, he found an opportunity, an underground garage entrance, not far below the eighth residential building, so naturally he rushed in directly.

With the collapse of the eighth residential building, the ruins covered the entrance to the underground garage. It would be really difficult for the Ferrum Dragon to guess where Luo Feng was.

“Awooo~~”

Above ground, came the furious howl of the Ferrum Dragon, this roar louder than any previous ones.

“Boom boom boom~~” Then followed the faint trembling of the entire earth, with various roars rising one after another.

After all, the Ferrum Dragon was the leader of the beasts controlling an area of twenty to thirty miles in the suburbs. With one command, its massive swarm of hundreds of thousands of beasts immediately surged in all directions, sweeping the surrounding areas under the lead of numerous low, mid, and high-level beast captains, searching for humans.

In the cold underground garage, inside the electrical room.

“The beast roars unceasingly, the earth trembles. Is the Ferrum Dragon mobilizing the entire beast swarm to search for humans in the surrounding area?” Luo Feng’s expression changed. Perhaps a single Ferrum Dragon might find it hard to locate him, but hundreds of thousands of beasts swarming everywhere… he would definitely be discovered soon if he stayed hidden here.

After all, this residential complex would certainly be a key search area for the Ferrum Dragon.

“It seems I can’t stay here to recover.”

Luo Feng stood up, his mood relatively relaxed. The situation before was much more difficult than now, yet he had still escaped.

Can’t he escape now?

“There are countless subway tunnels in City 003.”

“Hmm, if I remember correctly, there’s a subway tunnel not far from here! I can enter the subway tunnel, and it will be easy to leave City 003 along it. The subway tunnels are narrow, even if there are beasts, they would be small and weak. At least a beast the size of the Ferrum Dragon wouldn’t be able to enter.”

“It’s time to go home, back to the base city.”

“Once I return, I’ll sell this dragon egg, along with the combat suit and sword! I wonder how much I can get, enough for three hundred billion?” Although his chest ached, Luo Feng’s heart was filled with infinite anticipation.

Although this time he had fought fiercely, if it allowed his younger brother to walk again, it would all be worth it!
