My Dragon System

Chapter 166 - Green Slime

Chapter 166 - Green Slime

The group walked through the arched door slowly and cautiously. For whatever reason Jack still hadn't come back and wasn't replying to Ray's message.

Walking past and through the door, the room was covered in darkness making it hard for them to see anything.

Also, the red aura that Ray had seen up to this point suddenly vanished as soon as they had entered the room. Indicating that either his Dragon eyes skill was being suppressed or whatever he was looking for was able to hide its presence.

Gary was the first person to discover something.

"Over here!" Gary shouted as he lifted his light crystal to reveal a human figure stuck to the wall.

"It's Jack!" Badger said.

Jack was currently being held up onto the wall by what looked like a green slime substance. He also looked like he was passed out. Gary tried to immediately pull Jack out of the green slime causing the slime to stick to himself as well. Badger and Sloth also tried to help but the slime was just too sticky.

"let me try." Ray first tried using only a small amount of Ki but even he was struggling. He slowly started to use more power and finally was able to pull Jack out of the green slime.

As soon as Jack was free from the green slime he slowly started to regain consciousness.

"Huh, where am I?" Jack said as he looked aimlessly around the room.

"It's alright, we freed you from that green slime," Gary said.

"Green slime?" Then suddenly Jack remembered what happened but it was already too late.

"Watch out!" Jack shouted.

Then directly behind the group, a large green snake-like figure appeared around 10 meters tall. It bared its fangs and hissed out loud. Then it spat a big glob of green slime from its mouth. Jack's warning gave to group enough time to prepare and everyone managed to avoid the attack, each jumping in a different direction.

Everyone now could get a clear look at the figure. It had a snake-like body but also had three spider legs on each side. Ray looked at the creature closely but no matter how much he looked through his memory bank, he had never seen a creature like this before, even as his time as a dragon.

It meant Ray was unable to determine what tier the creature was. On the other hand, Gary did notice the creature but he had only come across it once by accident while he was reading a book in the library.

When Gary was doing research, he stumbled across a book of Mythical creatures. The book contained many stories about sightings of creatures such as Dragons, Vampires, and so on but these stories were never confirmed to be true and went down as mere myth.

The creature Gary was currently staring at was known as a Slime snake and it looked exactly as it did in the book.

The snake then looked towards Badger and Sloth and was readying for another attack. Ray quickly cast his fireball skill shooting a flame ball from the palm of his hand. It managed to hit the Slime snake right on the head.

The snake shook off the attack but it didn't seem like it had done much damage. Jack then came charging in at the Snake and swung his Giant sword hard at the creatures leg's but the giant sword simply bounced off.

The Slime snake then quickly wrapped it's body around Jack binding him causing him to lose grip on his sword and dropping it to the ground. Badger then jumped forward trying to free Jack but the Snake immediately shot out another slimeball from its mouth sticking Badger to the floor.

"Dam it! The beast is strong, we may have to run!" Ray said out loud making sure Gary and Sloth could hear him.

The beast's skin was to tough for Ray to do any damage to it. If Jack's swing did nothing then a punch from Ray would be the same. Right now Ray wished more than anything he had a high tier sword with him.

Ray then continued to fire his Fireball and Iceball at the snake. Although it didn't do much damage it did cause the snake to slightly flinch. In the end, the snake had no choice but to loosen its grip on Jack causing him to fall to the ground.

The Snake started to run away but Ray didn't want to let it escape. He started continuously shooting fireballs and ice balls. It seemed to work on the beast somewhat. Then when Ray caught up with the beast he went to cast his Ice bind skill.

Without even realising it, Ray had used up all of his mana. Each fireball and iceball skill required 5 mana for it to be cast and Ray was shooting them at the Snake like he had an unlimited amount of mana. In the brief moment were Ray had stopped using his skills the Snake managed to run off in the distance and could no longer be seen.

Before Ray did anything else, he decided to use his mana steal skill on the other members of the Red wings to fill his mana back up and would give it back to them once he had completed his task.

Gary quickly ran over to Jack to check if he was alright while Sloth went to pull his brother from the green slime.

"That thing was so fast and quiet, what was it?" Jack asked

"I think it was a Slime Snake, I read about it in a book once," Gary replied

"I've never heard of anything like that before."

The group then regathered as Badger started to slowly regain consciousness.

"Is it gone?" Badger asked.

"I'm not sure." Ray replied, "For some reason ever since we entered this room my Dragon eyes aren't working or at least they don't work on it."

"Well, what do you want to do?" Gary asked.

"Most likely that Snake was put here as a guard, which means it was guarding something big, let's keep going forward," Ray said.
