The group quickened their pace.
About half an hour later, they arrived at a wide passage.
By the firelight, everyone could clearly see a young black dragon lying on the ground resting. Perhaps their commotion had startled the little black dragon, and it showed a trace of panic:
"You! You actually chased me here?"
"Ed, you bastard! I'm going to kill you!" The surrounded Xiao Female Dragon roared, pushing aside the two warriors in front of her and charged towards the little black dragon!
Her actions were sudden but reasonable, and everyone didn't pay much attention.
They saw the Xiao Female Dragon slam into the little black dragon, and with a cry of pain, the little black dragon was pinned against the mud wall.
But afterward, the Xiao Female Dragon didn't pursue further. Instead, she shouted:
"You bastard! How dare you abandon me and run? You've got some nerve now, don't you? Are you getting tougher?"
"Fiona, if I hadn't run first, we both might have been caught by these humans! Your fate might really become these guys' dragon pet, and yet you have the nerve to hit me?"
The little black dragon was a bit annoyed, speaking in words that the others couldn't understand.
"Hmph! I'll let it go this time! If it happens again, I'll strip your ugly scales!" the Xiao Female Dragon scolded.
Afterwards, the two dragons faced the group, showing a very bizarre expression, as if mocking...
What are these two dragons mocking?
Are they tired of living?
Their little lives are all in our hands!
The group was puzzled, but wouldn't fear the two young dragons, and they all stepped into the wide passage.
The firelight could suddenly illuminate more, and in that moment, they finally noticed something wrong!
In the corner against their side of the wall, a monster lay coiled!
With the help of the firelight, the group could vaguely see the monster's strange appearance.
Its body was covered in black scales, with sturdy limbs, a pair of bat wings rested quietly against its back, and two pairs of horns, large and small, behind its head, with a small sharp horn above its nose.
It was clearly also a dragon!
But its appearance was just a bit strange, with a very short neck.
Looking at its size, it seems to still be a young adult dragon!
"Not good! We've been tricked! These two young dragons intentionally led us here!"
Finally, someone realized, exclaiming with some fear in their voice.
"Ha ha ha ha! That's right! You vile humans! How could the noble True Dragon ever bow down to ants like you? Want a dragon pet? Go to hell!
Ha ha ha! Die! All of you, die! You filthy humans! Land!!!!!! Time to wake up!!!!!"
"Land!!!!!!!!!"
The two young dragons sneered viciously, letting out a wild roar.
In the small cave, their dragon roars echoed back and forth, with layered reverberations.
Many couldn't help but cover their heads, their brows furrowing deeply.
The next moment.
The strange giant dragon that had been in slumber suddenly opened its eyes!
They were a pair of deep, bright red eyes, without visible pupils, seeming to contain countless flames gathering, swirling, burning, as if to destroy everything!
Just seeing it, one could feel a terrifying urge to wreak havoc and destruction!
The entire underground space illuminated more brightly in that moment!
Everything became clearer.
"Roar!!!!!!"
The giant dragon roared wildly, revealing sharp fangs in its massive maw.
Planting its limbs on the ground, it slowly stood upright.
Now, with its chest and abdomen wide open, between the scales, countless red lights flowed, flickering, giving a sense of searing heat.
The surrounding space began to heat up.
The air seemed to become scorched, sticky.
An overwhelming momentum surged towards the group!
The Baron, who was not any sort of formidable Professional, felt his legs weaken, collapsing directly into the arms of the mage beside him.
Even the few elite warriors handpicked by the Baron experienced a momentary breathless choke, surrounded by a terrifying aura that made it hard to breathe.
All the people instinctively took a step back at this moment.
"Not good! It's Dragon Mighty! Could this dragon already be an adult? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
The knowledgeable mage screamed in terror, immediately drawing the awakened giant dragon's attention.
The giant dragon was engulfed in fury, its dragon roar nearly rupturing people's eardrums!
It raised its dragon claw, a massive, black, terrifying claw swooping towards the mage amidst the crowd!
Even before the claw arrived, a terrifying gust of wind had already hit!
Everyone's expressions changed drastically.
"Ah! Evil Dragon, don't be so arrogant! I, Mod, am here! Don't you dare lay a finger on Lord Baron!"
The rough-faced man holding a large shield shouted, stepping forward once again to fulfill his duty, aiming to protect everything behind him!
During this moment, wisps of blood energy emanated from his body, which swelled slightly!
It seemed like he used some kind of berserk Secret Technique to enhance his physical strength.
Seeing this, the people behind couldn't help but show a trace of relief.
Yes, just like that!
Every time they encountered a formidable foe, the powerful Warrior Captain Mod could always protect the Baron and everyone else with his incredible strength!
This time, it should be the same, right?
However...
The next moment!
Boom!
With a booming sound.
The massive claw descended from above! It landed on the large shield!
The strong man felt an irresistible force assault him!
In front of this force, he was like an overconfident child.
His arms instantly snapped, bursting into a mist of blood!
The giant claw didn't pause at all, bringing the shield down to crush the Warrior Captain's body!
Ultimately, with a scream of agony.
Man and shield were embedded into the ground together, with blood continuously seeping out.
It looked terrifyingly gruesome!
A warrior's life is tenacious!
Even though the Warrior Captain was already embedded in the ground, with every bone shattered, he still didn't die right away.
"Cough cough cough..."
But the Warrior Captain's bodily organs were already damaged.
He couldn't even emit coherent sounds, only intermittent, meaningless groans!
But these groans, in the ears of everyone, sounded like the death knell of hell.
Originally full of hope, the group now fell back into fear!
Indeed, we humans cannot possibly match the strength of a matured giant dragon!
Dragons are monsters! They are devils!
Is the gap between humans and dragons akin to the gap between kobolds and them?
"Roar!!!!!!
Who gave you ants the courage! To dare to disturb me!
The great True Dragon, Land Saphis Oakben's slumber?"
The giant dragon stood towering high, head raised, letting out a terrifying roar, waves of putrid stench swept over.
The fiery red eyes burned like flames across the group's bodies, causing everyone to feel suffocated!
The flickering red light on the dragon's chest reflected off everyone's faces.
Those were faces filled with terror and helplessness.
The Baron, no different from an ordinary person, lost the ability to speak, staring wide-eyed in fear, and at that moment his trousers were a bit damp...
But this time, no one paid any attention to the Baron!
Everyone was overwhelmed by the terrifying dragon!
