Although the Radiant Strike didn't hit the heart of the Blue Lightning Dragon, it pierced through its left chest, causing fatal damage.

If not treated in time, there's a risk of death.

The Blue Lightning Dragon decisively opened the Land of Dragon Sleep.

[Land of Dragon Sleep]: Dragon type, Gold skill, terrain skill. Within the terrain, dragon-type pet beasts receive a substantial boost.

The Land of Dragon Sleep is a must-learn skill for dragon pets, not because of its strong increase, but because it can interact with multiple skills.

Skill linkage often achieves an effect greater than the sum of its parts.

Seeing the Blue Lightning Dragon spiraling down and then initiating the Land of Dragon Sleep, Li Cunxu roughly guessed what skill it would use next.

"It's going to use Dragon Sleep to heal." Li Cunxu said confidently.

[Dragon Sleep]: Dragon type, Overlord skill, healing skill. In exchange for falling into a deep sleep, it slowly heals injuries.

The healing effect of Dragon Sleep is relatively slow, but it has an especially powerful effect—regardless of how severe the injuries are, as long as Dragon Sleep is used, it can keep one's life hanging by a thread, preventing death.

When Dragon Sleep and Land of Dragon Sleep are used together, the Blue Lightning Dragon can sink into the ground, masking its presence and blocking detection skills, preventing enemies from finding it.

Li Cunxu focused intently on the Blue Lightning Dragon and its wound.

At the moment the Blue Lightning Dragon activated Dragon Sleep and sank into the ground, the Blood Lotus Eye of Li Cunxu lit up.

Blood-red, glaringly bright.

Meanwhile, a wisp of Burning Lotus Blood Fire appeared on the Blue Lightning Dragon's bloody and mutilated wound.

Burning Lotus Blood Fire, inextinguishable upon meeting blood.

To extinguish it, one must either wait for the blood to burn dry or cut away the blood contaminated by the Burning Lotus Blood Fire. Just like a forest fire, if the fire can't be put out, a firebreak must be cut, leaving no trees for the fire to burn, and the fire will naturally die out.

But if the Burning Lotus Blood Fire is not cut away, the fire will continue to burn.

The Blue Lightning Dragon, when awake, could manage to separate it, but it had unfortunately used Dragon Sleep, falling into an unshakable deep sleep.

Li Cunxu was a bit curious, "Is the healing speed of Dragon Sleep faster, or is the burning of the Burning Lotus Blood Fire intensifying the injury faster?"

If the Burning Lotus Blood Fire burns faster, then the Blue Lightning Dragon is certainly doomed.

If the healing speed of Dragon Sleep is faster, it doesn't matter. Originally, the healing effect of Dragon Sleep was slow, and with the Burning Lotus Blood Fire continuously exacerbating the injury, hindering it, the Blue Lightning Dragon wouldn't recover anytime soon.

"If the Burning Lotus Blood Fire could dry out the Blue Lightning Dragon's blood, that would be even better."

A bloodless Blue Lightning Dragon would be certainly doomed.

But Li Cunxu knew that was impossible.

The Blue Lightning Dragon's blood is of lord quality, while his Burning Lotus Blood Fire's prowess is only at Silver.

Just a little bit of the Blue Lightning Dragon's blood could keep the Burning Lotus Blood Fire burning for a long time,

Plus, with Dragon Sleep continuously healing, the Blue Lightning Dragon would remain in a state of blood production.

Li Cunxu found that setting the Burning Lotus Blood Fire on the slumbering Blue Lightning Dragon had another advantage; the Blue Lightning Dragon was like a never-ending fuel, providing him with a constant supply of Holy Blood.

"Go onto the prairie and find the remains of the Grass Healing Thousand Riding Horse."

Inside the Grass Healing Thousand Riding Horse, a unique evolutionary resource called the Thousand Rider Bone can be nurtured.

Absorbing the power of the Thousand Rider Bone can allow a Grass Healing Horse to evolve into a Grass Healing Thousand Riding Horse.

Normally, when a Grass Healing Thousand Riding Horse dies, the herd would reclaim the Thousand Rider Bone, but now, the Grass Healing Horses are too busy.

At this moment, they are scattered, fleeing, busy 'avoiding lightning.'

This avoidance of lightning is literal.

The black thunderstorm cloud gathered by the Blue Lightning Dragon continues to rain down lightning.

The herd having Grass Healing connections to heal their injuries doesn't help; the power of the lightning from the thunderstorm cloud is too great. A single strike would instantly turn a Grass Healing Horse to ashes.

The Grass Healing connection is for healing injuries, not resurrection.

Once turned to ashes, it cannot be saved.

Watching the panicked, disoriented, and disorganized Grass Healing Horses, Li Cunxu shook his head.

"These Grass Healing Horses lack courage and are certainly not up to the standard for military horses."

As pets in the army, courage is essential; otherwise, if they run scared upon seeing the enemy, why would the army train them?

Li Cunxu also understood why this herd of Grass Healing Horses acted this way; living long-term in the shadow of the Blue Lightning Dragon, their companions being brazenly eaten by it long-term, had scared them.

Failing as military horses did not affect the value of this herd of Grass Healing Horses in the slightest.

Military horses aren't viable, but they can be used as breeding stock.

Their next generation, not living under the shadow of the Blue Lightning Dragon, still possessing courage, can be used as military horses.

Why must they be military horses? Can't they be something else?

No, they cannot.

Alliance law stipulates: Private individuals, especially noble families, are not allowed to contract Grass Healing Horses.

Because Grass Healing Horses are restricted-type pet beasts, they are too suitable for army combat.

The performance of Grass Healing Horses on Bengma Island seems lackluster because the types of units among the Grass Healing Horse herd are too monotonous.

If several more types of units were added to the Grass Healing Horse herd, the team battle strength would grow exponentially.

As an example, if the front of the Grass Healing Horse herd were paired with tank-type pet beasts, the Grass Healing Horses could continuously heal the tank-type pet beasts in front, enabling them to act like a constantly self-repairing Great Wall.

The Grass Healing connection is not only able to connect Grass Healing Horses but also connect to pet beasts of other races.

The military officer who previously wanted to purchase a Grass Healing Horse, watching the live broadcast, felt a twinge in his heart.

"Such good horses! Just being struck down like this."

"Don't worry, not many will die. Without the Blue Lightning Dragon's sustainment, the thunderstorm cloud will dissipate soon."

"But I still feel so distressed; I can hardly wait to have a Grass Healing Horse army."

"Don't be impatient. The Grass Healing Horse army you want probably won't be formed anytime soon. These horses are perhaps unsuitable for military horses, being somewhat timid. Wait for the second-generation foals to breed."

Another officer watching with him also noticed this problem with the courage of the herd of Grass Healing Horses.

...

One lightning strike after another fell, each with the power of a lord level, each bolt could take away one Grass Healing Horse.

Li Cunxu moved through the prairie without fear.

Because the lightning doesn't strike him.

The lightning from the thunderstorm cloud falls only on the Grass Healing Horses marked with a lightning attraction mark, which is why not a single bolt of lightning misses.

Li Cunxu doesn't have the Blue Lightning Dragon's lightning attraction mark, so naturally, the lightning does not strike him.

Apart from lacking the lightning attraction mark, Li Cunxu also has Xiaoruan as insurance.

Xiaoruan has the thunder attribute and can sense the direction of thunder-type Spiritual Energy, knowing in advance the lightning's impact points and reminding Li Cunxu to stay away.

Finding the bones of the Grass Healing Thousand Riding Horse, he found only a single green bone among them, which was the Thousand Rider Bone.

Scattered around were also skill seeds of the Grass Healing Thousand Riding Horse, which Li Cunxu collected as well.

Li Cunxu didn't let go of the drops from the Sunshine Horse either.

The Sunshine Horse only dropped skill seeds, as its body transformed into a light and charged toward the Blue Lightning Dragon.

By the time Li Cunxu finished collecting the skill seeds dropped by the Sunshine Horse, the lightning from the thunderstorm cloud was not as frequent as before.

Every half a minute or so, a lightning bolt would fall.

"Xiaoruan, it would be great if you could use meteorological skills to disperse the thunderstorm cloud directly."

Half an hour later, the thunderstorm cloud was completely calm.

Originally, there were over six thousand Grass Healing Horses, but after this disaster, the number had dropped to more than four thousand five hundred, with nearly one thousand five hundred dead.
