That’s right! We are noble True Dragons! Mere adventurers are nothing at all!\" Fiona shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud, thud, thud~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A series of footsteps sounded at this moment, seeming quite noisy, with varying weights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were also the wails of little kobolds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looks like we don’t need to go over, those adventurers have come to us! Hmph! That’s just as well!\" Fiona said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two young dragons silently awaited the arrival of the enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first to come into view were six or seven little kobolds fleeing frantically, howling incessantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A slender figure, clad in leather armor, with dark skin, a female Dark Elf, alongside a few warriors in armor, wielding sharp blades, slaughtered the little kobolds crazily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood splattered all around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only one lucky little kobold survived, kneeling before the two dragons, howling incessantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It spoke in the kobold language, which the dragons couldn’t understand, but the leader who knew a bit of dragon language could understand and roughly translated it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wanted the dragons to avenge them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To this, the two dragons remained indifferent, not even acknowledging the kobold, only focusing intently on the incoming enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A brawny man nearly two meters tall, clad in armor, holding a large shield, with a face full of beard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The brawny man wore a tattered little kobold hood on top of his head, with a candle stuck on it, leaving no doubt where it came from.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon spotting the two young dragons, he was momentarily surprised, then quickly showed vigilance, hastily running over to stand before the Dark Elf who was charging ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his shield high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other warriors obediently retreated behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, a dozen more figures appeared consecutively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A middle-aged Mage in a blue mage robe, with a tulip flower on his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alongside, a Hunter in leather armor and a middle-aged man in silver armor, inlaid with a few colorful gemstones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside them, and behind, were several dozen warriors clad in armor, wielding sharp blades and torches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their blades were covered with the blood of kobolds, with some still having uncleaned flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made them look extremely ferocious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dragons! There are actually dragons! By the gods! We’ve encountered Red and Black Dragons!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone in the crowd exclaimed in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Giant Dragon, such apex creatures of the food chain, do indeed exist in this world, well documented in many books and even seen in various places.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for people in some small places, they may never see one in their lifetime!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roar! Mortals! Upon seeing the great Red Dragon King Fiona! Why do you not bend your knees, lower your heads? Offer me your most reverent homage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Female Dragon raised her neck, letting out a piercing roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roar! And your treasures!\" The Little Black Dragon followed suit with a roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their imposing manner was indeed astonishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Making the dozen or so armored warriors, and the middle-aged man in silver armor surrounded in the center, rather tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pfft~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, a light laugh broke the current scenario.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone, including the two dragons, involuntarily turned their gaze, seeing the Mage in the crowd twitching on his face, seemingly unable to hold back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mortals! What are you laughing at?\" Xiao Female Dragon Fiona roared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha~ It’s too funny! Just two little dragons, daring to act all mighty before us! Better have your parents come out!\" The Mage sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Parents? We don’t need such things at all! I, Fiona, can easily kill you mice myself!\" Xiao Female Dragon roared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think you two must be children abandoned by your parents!\" The Mage laughed coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seeking death!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Female Dragon was furious, not only did these humans dare to disdain her majesty, but they also had the audacity to mock her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What did they think they were?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking a deep breath, Xiao Female Dragon opened her mouth and spewed out the scorching Dragon Flame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ahead, a dozen meters were completely engulfed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dragon Flame instantly rolled toward the ten or so people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hand!!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing in the center of the crowd, the middle-aged man in armor was visibly shocked in the face of the rolling heat wave, calling out loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With me here! Don’t even think about harming Lord Baron in the slightest! Hah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the front, the man with the giant shield shouted fiercely, stepping forward, with his shield glowing with brightness, the flames burning toward them were all absorbed by the shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this! Magic Equipment?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Xiao Female Dragon halted her breath, exclaiming in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A young dragon indeed has a good eye!\" The Mage smiled faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it! Even if it’s Magic Equipment, there’s nothing special about it! Let’s see how much fire your equipment can absorb!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Female Dragon roared angrily, spewing out flames once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Little Black Dragon, seeing that one dragon had difficulty dealing with the enemy, quickly joined in, spitting a mouthful of Acid Liquid towards the Mage in the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mage merely lifted his Magic Staff slightly, and a deep blue Magic Missile appeared out of nowhere, colliding with the Acid Liquid, causing a sizzling sound and white smoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s useless! I am a level 7 Mage from the Tulip Magic Guild.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power of mere young dragons cannot possibly match me, if you are smart, you’d better stop attacking immediately and surrender.\" The Mage said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ptooey! Lowly human! You think you can make us surrender? No way!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Female Dragon continued spitting, unable to contain her anger, cursing again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the Dark Elf who had been in the crowd dashed out, speeding to the front of Xiao Female Dragon, and fiercely stabbed at the neck with a dagger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Female Dragon quickly turned around and lashed with her tail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dark Elf swiftly dodged aside, spinning the dagger to cut a notch on the Xiao Female Dragon’s tail, shattering a scale and drawing a stream of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roar! Damn it! Another Magic Weapon?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In pain, Xiao Female Dragon grew even more furious, standing up, her claws fiercely striking down, creating pits on the cave floor, her rampant stance somewhat reminiscent of Land’s might.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this flurry of attacks only brushed against the shadow of the Dark Elf, with Xiao Female Dragon’s claws instead receiving two more cuts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s useless! You can’t even touch me! While my Soul Devourer will continually add new wounds to your body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power of a Giant Dragon is only so much!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dark Elf spoke with full composure, exuding an aura of arrogance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This allowed the dozen warriors behind and the Baron to appear relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed! When it comes to strength! My warriors are stronger!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Baron showed a look of ease, then an expression of excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In some legendary storybooks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had read much about tales where people encounter young Giant Dragons, form bonds, and become friends, naturally having fantasized about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally thinking he’d never have a positive interaction with Giant Dragons in his lifetime, Lord Baron couldn’t help but feel his heart stirred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go! Capture these two young dragons for me! Great rewards await!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord Baron excitedly called out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, only two warriors remained by his side, while the rest all charged towards the two young dragons!\u003C\u002Fp>",1201,"2026-06-06T02:00:51.555Z",1,"novelbin.me","c471dcafc578586c5b2f598487a546e06acd0ea4c71a0f65c596713668be0c26","dragon-of-catastrophe-chapter-17","dragon-of-catastrophe-chapter-15",673,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdragon-of-catastrophe-cover.jpg"]
