The people on the spacecraft immediately tilted towards one direction.
Ye Zhongming quickly glanced out the porthole and found it covered in ice crystals.
Recalling the location they passed after taking off from the flight zone, it seemed they were near the ice elemental dragon that had originally left.
In the sky outside, it was indeed the ice elemental dragon that had just acted. It had left earlier but then quietly returned a distance, using its advantage to fly higher into the clouds, waiting silently.
The spacecraft had truly returned.
Since the spacecraft was moving quickly, the ice elemental dragon only exhaled a dragon breath after locking onto the trajectory, which was its fastest attack with a bit of coverage.
After successfully hitting the spacecraft, its eyes were filled with icy winds, and the surrounding air began to emit a terrifying white hue. Countless ice spikes descended from the sky, covering a large area where the spacecraft was located.
Then, the ice spikes fell like raindrops, piercing into the still-shaking and somewhat chaotic spacecraft.
Inside the cabin, the control personnel quickly activated the flimsy protective shield and then engaged maximum power, transitioning from an ascent state to a descent state in another direction.
"Open the hatch!"
Ye Zhongming knew that if he stayed inside at this moment, he would be destroyed by this ice elemental dragon before he could escape. After shouting, he dashed to the hatch and, at the moment it opened, he leaped out alongside Yuan Shangzuo.
Lai Lai Bird was injured, but its ferocity remained unchanged. Its body stretched to the utmost, and glowing like steam, it rose towards the sky. The intense heat caused the air to boil, perfectly intercepting those falling giant ice spikes.
Under high temperatures, the ice spikes melted at a visible speed. By the time they approached the spacecraft, they had turned into steam and a few scattered droplets of water.
Thus, the spacecraft gained a chance to adjust its plan, quickly flying to the side, escaping the attack range of the ice elemental dragon.
As Lai Lai Bird activated its skill to protect the spacecraft, Ye Zhongming and Yuan Shangzuo both launched their attacks on the ice elemental dragon.
Once they emerged, they understood that there was no room for negotiation in today’s situation.
Indeed, the Rebel Dragon Race possessed super high intelligence and could communicate through language, but that did not mean they could communicate with this dragon now.
It was clear that the dragon was waiting for them, prepared for an ambush, and would not let them go just by saying a few words.
They at least needed to drive this dragon away.
In order not to attract other dragon groups from other areas, Yuan Shangzuo disregarded everything else. His right arm was made entirely of life metal; after leaping out of the spacecraft, he aimed it at the ice elemental dragon and, without waiting for Ye Zhongming to react, it shot out with a bang, startling Ye Zhongming.
Then, he saw the arm accelerate in the air, even splitting twice in the process. The first time, the whole arm broke into two segments; the second time, these two segments each split again, ultimately forming a fist along with three segments of the arm.
As they split, they each changed direction, approaching the giant dragon from four positions.
This was the first time Ye Zhongming had seen such a combat method. He had seen parts of one’s body turned into weapons before, but never to this extent, as if they could be controlled and acted like they had their own lives.
The last three metal arms accelerated numerous times over a short distance until they became invisible.
The ice elemental dragon moved its claws, and countless tiny ice crystals emerged around its body. After these ice crystals appeared, they began to grow, gradually forming small ice flowers.
These ice flowers would suddenly grow rapidly at a certain moment, immediately blocking the three metal arms.
The metal arms continuously sought angles for attack, crashing into the flowers and making a series of banging sounds, causing the ice flowers to shatter.
