Chapter 1091 - 1090: The Dragon's Reversed Scale
The shimmering golden light in his vision is the dragon's whiskers swaying.Although each dragon whisker is incredibly thin in relation to the dragon itself, they are as thick as an adult's arm, resembling golden whips waving in mid-air.
This is one of the plans in Chu Ge's strategy; whether it succeeds depends on strength and luck!
Squinting his eyes, Chu Ge focused his entire attention amid the fierce turbulence. When the dragon suddenly swung its head upwards to the left, he slightly leaned forward, pressing his feet as firmly as possible onto the dragon's fangs, and then… suddenly exerted force!
Chu Ge's legs seemed to transform into springs compressed to the extreme, instantly bouncing, merging his own power with the inertia of the dragon's head movement, catapulting his body towards those dragon whiskers resembling golden whips.
Moving like a rabbit in flight, with the momentum of a startled bird.
Swish!
In an instant, Chu Ge reached the underside of a dragon whisker. His hands, like grasping a gymnastics bar, pressed down fiercely, while his legs exerted force simultaneously, spinning his body around the whisker, and flipping upward, flying aggressively towards the next target.
The flames in the dragon's eyes burned more fiercely; such a mere bug dared to crawl between its teeth and dash about on its whiskers—what an outrageous insult!
A wild dragon roar echoed through the void, but with Chu Ge's current position and angle, the roar akin to a hurricane blast, like a compressed air cannon breath, ultimately could not affect Chu Ge.
Clearly, the dragon quickly realized this fact, shaking its massive head more violently.
"I've barely reached this point, trying to throw me off? Not so easy!"
In Chu Ge's eyes, a cold gleam flickered repeatedly; amid the ground-shaking tremor, he shuttled through the golden dragon whiskers, continuously upward, upward, upward!
Finally, when the dragon furiously swung its head again, he leveraged this immense force's inertia and leaped once more, stepping onto the dragon's head!
The first time!
This was the first time Chu Ge stood proudly on this dragon's head after being torn apart thousands of times!
This place is beyond the dragon's claws, unreachable by dragon breath, signifying that Chu Ge truly opened his counterattack's prelude!
Of course, it also meant Chu Ge triggered the dragon's anger to an incomparable extent.
But so what?
In this collision where either he dies, or he lives, how could Chu Ge care whether this dragon is angry?
Run! Run madly! Striving to maintain balance, sprinting furiously towards the summit!
Chu Ge's body, like a small boat rocking amid a storm and massive waves, seemed ready to be flung away at any moment. Yet, as he got nearer to the dragon head's apex, every step landed squarely on the dragon's head.
Even when he swiftly passed by a flaming dragon eye, he sneered and spat at it.
Of course, Chu Ge's bit of spittle couldn't extinguish the raging fire within the dragon eye; instead, it fueled the flames.
The dragon was furious, but Chu Ge was furious as hell too; after being crushed so many times, this spit might as well be some interest collected from this colossal creature.
After surpassing the dragon eye and sprinting for a moment, Chu Ge finally reached the highest point of the dragon's head, between the two dragon horns.
Although from Chu Ge hitting the dragon's fangs to leaping onto the dragon's whiskers, then ascending to the dragon head took only a little over a minute, this short span was undoubtedly the most thrilling experience of his life.
Similarly, Chu Ge was exhausted; he gripped the two dragon horns firmly, taking a break that was hardly a rest, adjusting his breath quickly while he surveyed the wildly twisting dragon body from this superior position.
In legend, the dragon's neck has a Reversed Scale, touch it and you die.
The offender of the Reversed Scale, whether rising to the heavenly realm or descending to the netherworlds, will be pursued by the dragon relentlessly, not ceasing until death!
What Chu Ge sought was precisely the legendary "Reversed Scale"!
Why, according to legend, does the dragon bear such a strong grudge against those who touch its "Reversed Scale"?
Chu Ge had no doubt the answer was—pain!
Everyone, indeed, has their own "Reversed Scale" as well, be it family, friends, performance, salary, physical flaws, unyielding beliefs, unspeakable secrets, and on and on.
Chu Ge now not only aimed to find this dragon's "Reversed Scale" but intended to touch it well, giving this giant a dose of real pain.
Anyway... even if he didn't touch the "Reversed Scale," wouldn't this giant dragon have already killed him a thousand times over?
Chu Ge's gaze swept over like a hawk, and after five or six seconds, he indeed saw a patch of reversed golden scales!
The patch of golden scales was slightly larger than the others, about the size of a washbasin, like a knife handle exposed, standing out so conspicuously it was hard not to notice.
Chu Ge's gaze tightened, the sneer on his face deepening, revealing his stark white teeth, a look of grim determination etched in his expression.
It seems this thing in legends is quite reliable, heaven hasn't deceived me!
Amid the frantic turbulence like rising tides, Chu Ge took a quick breath, suddenly let go of the dragon horns, and slid down the dragon's head toward the "Reversed Scale," searching for crevices between the golden dragon scales with his hands and feet as leverage points, doing his utmost to maintain his balance.
The giant dragon seemed to realize Chu Ge's intention, and the closer he got to the "Reversed Scale," the more wildly it struggled, nearly throwing him off several times. Luckily, he managed to get closer to the washbasin-sized patch of reversed "Reversed Scale" without danger.
Ten meters, nine meters... three meters, two meters, one meter.
Finally, Chu Ge slid to the side of the "Reversed Scale," licked his lips, tightly wrapped his left arm around the "Reversed Scale," and knelt with one knee on the dragon's neck.
Chu Ge certainly wasn't proposing to this unknown-gender golden dragon, much less intimidated by the massive dragon aura emanating from its trembling body, ready to bow down. What he did was simply to keep his balance and free his right arm for action.
Next, he was about to properly "repay" this dragon for its "care" over this period!
Shaking his right hand, his fingers curled and closed, his right arm pulled back to the limit like a fully drawn bowstring.
Licking his lips, a cold gleam flashed in Chu Ge's eyes, and his round right fist shot out like an arrow from a bow, viciously pounding the center of the "Reversed Scale"!
This punch not only gathered the strength of Chu Ge's body but also concentrated his heart's burning indignation and battle spirit. After being suppressed for so long, he could finally vent — how could he not give it his all!
Bam! The fist landed heavily!
Roar! The dragon cried in anguish!
Despite preparing himself mentally from the start, anticipating a considerable reaction from the dragon, and securely wrapping his left hand around the "Reversed Scale," the intensity of the dragon's response still exceeded his expectations.
If the tremors beneath Chu Ge's feet just now were earth-shaking, at this moment, it was as if the sky were falling!
The frenzied dragon crashed heavily onto the void ground, golden-red blood gushed from the edges of its mouth, its enormous, elongated body twisted violently as if it longed to twist into a pretzel, the tail flailing madly, producing a series of crackling sound explosions.
Clearly, the dragon was in excruciating pain.
Chu Ge was not having an easy time either, his ears and head ringing with buzzing sounds, his entire body carried by the massive vibrations. If it weren't for his left arm tightly locking onto the "Reversed Scale," he would've been flung who knows how far by now.
Though his body was in extreme pain, and his left arm, binding the "Reversed Scale" tightly, felt on the verge of snapping, Chu Ge's fighting spirit only burned brighter, his eyes sparkled with a fiercer light.
The greater the dragon's reaction, the greater the harm it suffered, and as long as he kept at it, perhaps... no! It would surely be possible to take down this seemingly invincible dragon!
Maintaining his balance as the dragon dove downward, Chu Ge's body pressed once again against the dragon's "Reversed Scale." He seized another opportunity to pound his right fist with pinpoint accuracy in the center of the "Reversed Scale," exactly where the first punch had heavily struck.
Receiving two attacks at the same spot, the pain wasn't merely twofold — even a creature as formidable as the dragon felt life-threatening agony!
Besides smashing into the ground, twisting its body, and screaming, the dragon's five sharp claws also began frenziedly swiping back and forth on its own body, tearing down swathes of glittering golden scales.
Golden-red fresh blood, mixed with large patches of golden scales, fell like torrential rain and hail, whipping up a storm of real blood and carnage in this void golden world!
Apparently, this huge creature was in such agony that it nearly went insane, trying to use this self-destructive manner to alleviate or hide the pain inflicted by the "Reversed Scale"!
The more anguish the dragon felt, the more excited Chu Ge became, undoubtedly indicating the effectiveness of his strategy!
"Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam..."
Chu Ge's fist repeatedly pounded down hard, fully attacking the "Reversed Scale," producing bone-rattling thuds that echoed with each fleshy impact.
Despite the "Reversed Scale" being so hard, covered with tiny spikes, Chu Ge's right fist quickly became bloodied and lacerated, the bones beneath exposed, yet he seemed oblivious to the pain, staring with bloodshot eyes, punch after punch after punch!
Next, it was down to who between him and the dragon could endure longer.
Either, he'd be slaughtered by the dragon once more!
Or this time, he'd personally slay the dragon!
