Chapter 144

"What else could it mean? I only know you lost him."

Wei Kai said, suppressing his anger.

Hearing this, the intelligence merchant's eyes flickered, feeling a hint of disdain for Wei Kai's intelligence.

However, Zheng Wei, who was on the side, had her eyes light up and said happily, "Are you saying there is a ruin in this forest? Or the underground kind?"

"Correct."

The intelligence merchant nodded and smiled faintly. "If nothing goes wrong, that's the reason. There might be quite a few good things in the ruin. I've been waiting here for you and didn't step into the ruin before you arrived; you should thank me."

After hearing the word 'ruin', the anger in Wei Kai's heart instantly dissipated, and a smile appeared on his face instead. "Is there really a ruin?"

"Obviously."

"Hahaha, brother, my mistake. If there really is a ruin, then I definitely apologize; I wrongly blamed you." Wei Kai laughed, thick-skinned and not caring at all about his previous anger, but asked suspiciously, "But how are you sure of the ruin's location? This forest is huge; by the time we find it, that kid might have already emptied out the good things and left."

"Don't worry, I naturally have a way. Follow me."

The intelligence merchant smiled faintly, turned his head, and began to lead the way.

Soon.

The three of them arrived at a cluttered area.

The intelligence merchant stopped, his eyes flickered, and he said, "I can tell you very definitely that there is a ruin here, but before entering, the rules must be stated: you must give me thirty percent of the good things found."

Hearing this.

Wei Kai and Zheng Wei looked at each other, seemingly considering something.

Then Wei Kai nodded and gritted his teeth. "Fine, if there really is a ruin, giving you thirty percent is no problem."

"Don't worry, if I say there is, then there is."

After saying that.

He walked step by step to a stone slab, then crouched down, grabbed the edge of the slab, and lifted it; a dark underground passage appeared before the three of them.

Seeing this, both Wei Kai and Zheng Wei showed excited expressions in their eyes.

There really was a ruin.

"It looks like that guy is really in here."

Wei Kai curled his lips, revealing a ferocious smile. "But this is good too. We'll go in, kill him, and then take the good things inside before leaving the Secret Realm."

"Exactly."

Zheng Wei nodded in agreement.

The intelligence merchant smiled and stepped aside. "You also know that as an intelligence merchant, my combat power isn't strong, so you should lead the way in."

"Fine."

To this, Wei Kai did not refuse; he nodded and took the lead in stepping inside.

Zheng Wei followed closely behind.

Finally, the intelligence merchant also entered the passage and lowered the stone slab.

In the great hall.

At the end of the passage.

Chen Ang was tensed, and with an explosion of speed, he dodged instantly.

Just as he dodged, a vibration erupted behind him.

Chen Ang looked back, his brow furrowed.

A behemoth was eyeing him covetously.

It looked like a wild wolf scaled up proportionally, but its entire body was wrapped in crimson scales that shimmered with luster.

Its tail alone was four meters long, covered in sharp spikes, and there was a single horn on its forehead.

Most importantly, Chen Ang turned his head to look at a door in the hall, and a prompt appeared before his eyes.

Perhaps because it had been in the darkness for a long time, this sub-dragon had no eyes and relied entirely on its sense of smell and hearing.

Its mouth was filled with sharp fangs.

And the reason it was called the Ripping-Claw Dragon probably lay in its claws.

Not only did it have five sharp claws, but there were also four more claws hidden deep in its feet that would extend during attacks to tear wounds and cause bleeding effects.

In short, just looking at this Ripping-Claw Dragon gave one a strong sense of oppression.

Chen Ang grinned and whispered softly. "It looks quite handsome, but it's a pity I can't catch it as a mount, and..."

"Tier 6, that really is a terrifying level."

Very strong.

Extremely strong.

If it were before, Chen Ang could not possibly be its opponent.

But now...

He could fight it.

As long as there was an opportunity, he could still suppress and kill it.

Thinking of this, Chen Ang opened his mouth, and a mouthful of death dragon breath sprayed out directly.

*Boom! *

A black torrent erupted.

The Ripping-Claw Dragon's ears twitched, and it dodged quickly, its four limbs leaping as it climbed on the surrounding walls, its movements very agile.

And when it dodged the death dragon breath and climbed onto the ceiling, it opened its blood-basin maw and also sprayed a mouthful of dragon breath that looked like miasma.

Chen Ang raised an eyebrow and countered with a mouthful of dragon breath of his own.

The moment they collided, a violent vibration erupted with a *rumble*.

In terms of dragon breath alone, they were evenly matched.

But when the dragon breath dissipated, the Ripping-Claw Dragon suddenly turned into a blood-colored rainbow light and attacked, swinging its sharp claws; one sweep left a trail of blood light.

Chen Ang was not afraid at all; in his Death Dragon Soldier form, he shouted violently, swung a claw, and forcefully countered.

Ripping Claw!

*Boom. *

Upon collision.

Aftershocks erupted, turning into air waves that swept the surroundings.

This strike was again evenly matched, and Chen Ang even took a few steps back, slightly inferior.

"Such strong power."

Chen Ang exclaimed in his heart.

Yet he felt no fear, instead twisting his neck and mocking, "Dragon cub, come, continue, let me see just how strong you are!"

As his voice fell.

Chen Ang took a deep breath, and the blood in his body had already begun to boil.

And feeling Chen Ang's provocation, although the Ripping-Claw Dragon couldn't see, it could hear the mocking tone and roared in anger.

"Roar!!"

A deafening roar was accompanied by the miasma dragon breath blasting over.

Chen Ang exploded with speed and immediately dodged to the right.

Then he stepped out from that direction, charging toward the Ripping-Claw Dragon like a cannonball, activating his Ripping Claw and slamming it over.

At this moment, the Ripping-Claw Dragon had just stopped its dragon breath and didn't have time to dodge, taking the blow head-on.

*Rip. *

A shallow wound appeared on the spot where the Ripping-Claw Dragon was hit, and pitch-black blood dripped down.

But immediately after.

*Whoosh. *

A sound of breaking air rang out.

The moment Chen Ang's attack landed, the Ripping-Claw Dragon's tail, full of sharp spikes, swept over from behind, striking Chen Ang's back directly.

*Boom! *

A loud noise.

Chen Ang was sent flying, smashing into the wall.

Dust rose up.
