Of course, there was one person, or rather, one Dark Elf who was an exception!
She trembled all over as she looked at the tragically dead Warrior Captain, her eyes blood-red and filled with intense, unforgettable hatred.
"Mod!!! My Mod! Damn Evil Dragon! How dare you kill my Mod! I won't forgive you!"
The Dark Elf seemed to have lost her sanity, letting out an extremely piercing roar.
Her body flickered, like a black phantom, instantly appearing behind the Giant Dragon!
With a leap, she fiercely stabbed the dagger towards the dragon's neck!
Sss!!
"Roar!"
The dagger pierced through the scales but halted after sinking halfway in, unable to penetrate further.
It was tightly wedged by the flesh of the Giant Dragon's neck.
The Giant Dragon let out an angry roar.
This injury was nothing to him, akin to a human being pricked by a splinter.
But it made the already enraged dragon even angrier!
Not just because his slumber was disturbed, but also due to the provocation and attack from this swarm of bugs!
Rationality seemed to snap at this moment.
The dragon roared with fury, his tail swinging fiercely toward the Dark Elf.
The Dark Elf originally intended to pull out the dagger and escape, but she found it was firmly lodged in the dragon's neck.
Unable to pull it out, she finally had to give up, pushing off the dragon's back with her legs to dodge!
"Roar!!!"
The Giant Dragon turned his body, his crimson eyes fixed tightly on the Dark Elf, and without further ado, raised his claw for a triple strike!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
All three strikes missed, each pounding heavily into the ground, causing the entire cave to tremble ceaselessly! The ground bore three huge claw imprints, each at least ten centimeters deep!
"You can't hurt me! Monster! And I will slowly peel off all your scales! I will kill you!"
The Dark Elf spoke again.
This was akin to pouring oil on the fire!
The dragon's eyes flared a few degrees brighter, viciously charging at the Dark Elf!
Just as the opponent was about to dodge again, the Giant Dragon suddenly opened his mouth and roared!
"Roar!"
The thunderous roar came unexpectedly, causing the agile body of the Dark Elf to freeze.
It was that momentary pause that allowed the dragon to truly close in on the Elf, this time not using his claws to strike.
Instead, he opened his maw wide, lunging straight at her!
The stench of his breath rushed forth, startling the Dark Elf awake.
She looked at the approaching maw, realizing it was too late to evade, despair showing in her eyes.
"No!!!!"
But it was all too late!
The Dark Elf ultimately was swallowed up by darkness, falling into the dragon's mouth!
Accompanied by a crisp bite, a shriek of extreme pain resonated through the whole cave!
The Giant Dragon's throat bulged momentarily, and after making a swallowing motion, he turned his attention, gaze fiercely directed at Baron and the others.
The Dark Elf was eaten!
That was a living being!
A partner they had worked with for years!
Just recently, they had been training, laughing, and playing together!
But at this moment, everything abruptly came to a halt!
The living Dark Elf, like a fresh piece of pork, was swallowed whole!
What kind of cruelty and impact was this?
Especially as the dragon's mouth continued to drip blood, many people turned pale, some even retching!
Although the Dark Elf was not human, the resemblance between the two was too striking!
This was frightening!
Afraid that they too might be brutally devoured like the Dark Elf and end up as a pile of dung!
"Everyone! Don't be afraid! It's just a dragon! We've already defeated two before! Stay strong! With me here, we won't lose!"
Seeing morale collapsing, the Mage shouted hurriedly while raising his Magic Staff, conjuring an Ice Spear that shot towards the Giant Dragon!
"Sss~"
The Giant Dragon snorted, exuding a gust of heat, not dodging or evading, crushing the Ice Spear with a sweep of his claw.
Ice Fog exploded, cold frost creeping over the dragon's body but lasting only a second before his inherent heat drove it away!
It seemed the Ice Spear Skill caused no harm.
Yet this attack greatly boosted the originally fearful warriors!
Awakening the only bit of fighting spirit they had left.
A few heated with anger shouted, dispersing their fear, really charging forward and slashing at the dragon's limbs!
Ding ding ding!
The blades on the dragon's scales produced a clanging sound.
Ordinary blades, not magical weapons, could cause no damage! At most, they left barely visible white marks on the scales!
They, however, wielded such force that their tiger's mouths nearly split, the blades almost slipping from their hands!
As they prepared to continue swinging their blades.
The dragon's patience ran out; he no longer cared to deal with these little mice.
With a swipe of his Dragon Tail, sending three warriors flying!
Boom!
The first unlucky one was exploded into pieces by the fierce force of the Dragon Tail, armor shattering, their body scattering into fragments of flesh and blood mist!
The second unfortunate one had some buffer, so it wasn't as fatal.
But after being struck by the tail, their ribs broke entirely, internal organs shifted and ruptured, hitting the third unfortunate one along and crashing into the other warriors!
Bang bang bang~
Moans filled the air at this moment.
The warriors were knocked into a stupor, bones fracturing.
But among them, Baron, Hunter, Mage, and several other smart warriors did not make any noise.
They seized this chance, scrambling back to the passage they came from, desperately running back!
"Roar!!! All trespassers must die! Not one of you will escape!"
Upon discovering these humans' actions, the dragon was ablaze with fury, roaring, dragging his massive body, charging straight for the passage!
Rumbling!
Unfortunately, the dragon's body was too enormous; his entire front was wedged into the passage entrance, with only his head poked inside!
This violent collision made the surrounding tunnels shake! Crack!
The Baron, failing to keep his footing, directly toppled to the ground!
Though he looked panicked, upon seeing the dragon stuck outside the passage, he sighed in relief, his expression collapsing, triumphantly shouting:
"Hahaha! Damn Evil Dragon! Want to kill me? Stop dreaming! You can't even get in! I, Ackman, will definitely not die at the hands of an Evil Dragon like you!"
Others still fleeing stopped one by one at his words, turning back to look at the dragon wedged at the passage entrance, sighing heavily.
Several warriors who had been in the lead returned to Ackman's side, intending to help him up.
"Roar!!"
The dragon with its head in the tunnel roared wildly again.
In his open maw, everyone clearly saw shreds of flesh and blood foam dangling between his teeth!
This was from that Dark Elf earlier!
Those who realized this paled.
But before they could do anything more.
The dragon took a deep breath!
As the air swirled, bright red flames surged from the dragon's throat, swirling in his gaping maw, dancing like elemental sprites, holding a strange beauty.
