After getting closer, several instant-cast Magic Missiles blasted towards the three dragons!
The Magic Missiles hit accurately, striking all three dragons one by one.
The two little dragons let out a miserable cry, several scales flew off, and fresh blood flowed from the wounds.
This mage's Magic Missile is much more powerful than usual.
It seems to have been specialized.
However, Land only felt it was like being tickled, and still rushed towards an underground tunnel without slowing down, diving straight in!
The two little dragons, though injured, still ran desperately, following closely behind and drilling into the tunnel.
The mage quickly descended, cast a protective spell on himself, and followed them in!
............
Thump thump thump thump~
A series of footsteps echoed in the tunnel.
"Land! Land! That human is following us! What should we do! So scary! These humans!"
Little Black Dragon Ed felt the movement behind them, his back faintly aching, crying as he ran.
Land did not respond, only continued running forward relentlessly.
This is the tunnel dug by the Shark Lizard Beast.
As soon as Land saw this hole, he thought about diving in.
Though the Shark Lizard Beast might not be as long as Land, it is wide!
Especially the head, about two meters wide; if Land folded back his Dragon Wings, he could easily fit through.
However, sensing movement behind him, he was slightly taken aback, surprised that the human dared to follow them into the tunnel.
It seems the temptation of the three little dragons is too strong for them!
If they don't drive them away, this matter will be endless.
Boom!!
An unusual sound resounded in the tunnel, echoing loudly.
Accompanying it was Little Black Dragon Ed's scream.
"Wow!!! It hurts!! Land, save me! Save me! Boohoo~ I don't want to die! I don't want to be captured as a Dragon Pet! Save me! Land!"
Little Black Dragon Ed kept crying out miserably.
This guy got hit by a spell again!
The two little ones were running behind him; the Little Black Dragon seemed to be the main target.
Nothing can be done; he's the weakest, the easiest to handle.
"Useless waste!"
Land scolded but also halted his escape, curling his whole body tightly, barely turning around, then heading back!
"Get down!"
Land shouted. The Xiao Female Dragon lowered her body, as Land jumped over her and then reached Little Black Dragon's side, at this moment, the caster was seemingly only a dozen meters away from them!
A dazzling blue light flashed, electric sparks burst out, hitting Land straight on!
Land's body went numb from the electricity, but it didn't affect him much.
Giant Dragons inherently have strong resistance to magic, within half a second he recovered, quickly took a deep breath, pulled Little Ed behind him, and then exhaled forward!
Whoosh!!!!
A red stream of flames gushed forth, sweeping along the tunnel walls towards the caster.
The caster's eyes showed fear in the darkness, and again made a gesture, a barrier of ice appeared out of thin air in front of him!
The surging flames clashed with the ice barrier.
It made a hissing sound.
Countless white steam vapored in agitation.
Land's flames continued, through which he could clearly see the caster's ice barrier continuously melting!
But the caster's body glowed with a blue luster representing magic power, reinforcing the ice surface, faintly resisting Land's flames.
"Roar!!"
A dragon's roar echoed in his ears, Land instinctively glanced with the corner of his eye to see the Xiao Female Dragon had also reached his side, inhaling deeply and spitting out flames!
The flame of Xiao Female Dragon's Dragon Breath, though not as powerful as Land's, combined with his was like the last straw that broke the camel's back.
The caster's ice barrier began to dissolve at an extremely fast pace!
Seeing this, the caster knew things were going wrong, stopped supplying magic power, and turned to run!
A few seconds later, the scorching flames evaporated the entire ice barrier, continually surging forward!
However, just as it was approaching, another ice barrier appeared, blocking it for a few seconds, allowing the mage to escape.
The flames surged sixty to seventy meters away before finally dissipating, with the mage long gone from sight, and only then did Land stop.
By this time, the entire tunnel wall was blazing red, the temperature had risen by at least several dozen degrees!
In normal circumstances, no human would dare to enter; perhaps he was temporarily safe?
However, Land wasn't yet reassured, fiercely digging a claw into the overheated wall, pulling a large chunk of dirt down! Then again and again, until the passage was sealed shut.
"Tha...thank you...Land, you saved me."
Little Black Dragon Ed spoke at this moment, his hollow eye sockets beneath tear-filled eyes, looking like a little basset hound lying on the ground looking at Land.
"Land! We really are the strongest! Even the adventurer who could defeat Saphis was beaten by us! Hahaha!"
The Xiao Female Dragon laughed loudly, her neck held high proudly.
Of course, this had to ignore the still bleeding wound on her back.
"Now's not the time to relax, help block the entrance even tighter!" Land continued bustling around.
The two little dragons joined in, until they created a barrier at least six or seven meters thick, finally letting out a sigh of relief.
.............
Outside.
The entire forest was engulfed in spreading fire, flames rising, smoke billowing.
After regrouping, those human adventurers carried the ranger who had fainted from the smoke.
The entire forest was filled with smoke, entering the tunnel at this moment might choke them directly.
They had to leave.
Meanwhile, inside the tunnel, Land and the three dragons moved a bit further, arriving at a crossroads.
One of the paths was constantly filled with smoke, enveloping the three dragons.
These were the other passages dug by the Shark Lizard Beast.
But while these might trouble humans, they had little effect on the three dragons.
All three had Red Dragon bloodlines, offering strong resistance to flames; smoke was barely different from normal air intake.
The Xiao Female Dragon looked at the smoke-filled pathway, couldn't help but ask: "Land, should we escape through this opening?"
"Once outside, what do we do? Mother is no longer with us, and if we encounter such terrifying adventurers again, what should we do?"
Little Black Dragon Ed worriedly questioned.
Land was silent for a moment: "We won't go outside, we'll just stay in the tunnel."
"Stay here? What if those adventurers rush in?" the Xiao Female Dragon was startled.
Though she said earlier they defeated those adventurers, she knew it was just by exploiting a flaw.
Firstly, that caster had fought with the Mother of Dragons before, naturally not at peak form, and they likely had companions not present.
If they were all gathered and healthy, how could they escape?
"The outside world is too dangerous! Especially for us who haven't mastered flight! If we encounter other adventurers in open space, we might not even have the chance to escape!
I absolutely won't risk going out!
Lets just hide underground; this tunnel is too narrow, humans generally aren't a match for us here, nothing to fear!
The most crucial point is, those humans won't dare enter the tunnel!" Land analyzed.
