Perhaps their commotion had startled the little black dragon, and it showed a trace of panic:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You! You actually chased me here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"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!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her actions were sudden but reasonable, and everyone didn’t pay much attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But afterward, the Xiao Female Dragon didn’t pursue further. Instead, she shouted:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You bastard! How dare you abandon me and run? You’ve got some nerve now, don’t you? Are you getting tougher?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"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?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little black dragon was a bit annoyed, speaking in words that the others couldn’t understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph! I’ll let it go this time! If it happens again, I’ll strip your ugly scales!\" the Xiao Female Dragon scolded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterwards, the two dragons faced the group, showing a very bizarre expression, as if mocking...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What are these two dragons mocking?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are they tired of living?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their little lives are all in our hands!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group was puzzled, but wouldn’t fear the two young dragons, and they all stepped into the wide passage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The firelight could suddenly illuminate more, and in that moment, they finally noticed something wrong!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the corner against their side of the wall, a monster lay coiled!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the help of the firelight, the group could vaguely see the monster’s strange appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clearly also a dragon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But its appearance was just a bit strange, with a very short neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at its size, it seems to still be a young adult dragon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not good! We’ve been tricked! These two young dragons intentionally led us here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, someone realized, exclaiming with some fear in their voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"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!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ha ha ha! Die! All of you, die! You filthy humans! Land!!!!!! Time to wake up!!!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Land!!!!!!!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two young dragons sneered viciously, letting out a wild roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the small cave, their dragon roars echoed back and forth, with layered reverberations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many couldn’t help but cover their heads, their brows furrowing deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strange giant dragon that had been in slumber suddenly opened its eyes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just seeing it, one could feel a terrifying urge to wreak havoc and destruction!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire underground space illuminated more brightly in that moment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything became clearer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roar!!!!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The giant dragon roared wildly, revealing sharp fangs in its massive maw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Planting its limbs on the ground, it slowly stood upright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, with its chest and abdomen wide open, between the scales, countless red lights flowed, flickering, giving a sense of searing heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding space began to heat up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air seemed to become scorched, sticky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An overwhelming momentum surged towards the group!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Baron, who was not any sort of formidable Professional, felt his legs weaken, collapsing directly into the arms of the mage beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the people instinctively took a step back at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not good! It’s Dragon Mighty! Could this dragon already be an adult? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The knowledgeable mage screamed in terror, immediately drawing the awakened giant dragon’s attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The giant dragon was engulfed in fury, its dragon roar nearly rupturing people’s eardrums!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It raised its dragon claw, a massive, black, terrifying claw swooping towards the mage amidst the crowd!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even before the claw arrived, a terrifying gust of wind had already hit!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone’s expressions changed drastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah! Evil Dragon, don’t be so arrogant! I, Mod, am here! Don’t you dare lay a finger on Lord Baron!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rough-faced man holding a large shield shouted, stepping forward once again to fulfill his duty, aiming to protect everything behind him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this moment, wisps of blood energy emanated from his body, which swelled slightly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed like he used some kind of berserk Secret Technique to enhance his physical strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the people behind couldn’t help but show a trace of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, just like that!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time they encountered a formidable foe, the powerful Warrior Captain Mod could always protect the Baron and everyone else with his incredible strength!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, it should be the same, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a booming sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive claw descended from above! It landed on the large shield!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strong man felt an irresistible force assault him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of this force, he was like an overconfident child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His arms instantly snapped, bursting into a mist of blood!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The giant claw didn’t pause at all, bringing the shield down to crush the Warrior Captain’s body!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultimately, with a scream of agony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Man and shield were embedded into the ground together, with blood continuously seeping out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked terrifyingly gruesome!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A warrior’s life is tenacious!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the Warrior Captain was already embedded in the ground, with every bone shattered, he still didn’t die right away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cough cough cough...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Warrior Captain’s bodily organs were already damaged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t even emit coherent sounds, only intermittent, meaningless groans!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But these groans, in the ears of everyone, sounded like the death knell of hell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally full of hope, the group now fell back into fear!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, we humans cannot possibly match the strength of a matured giant dragon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragons are monsters! They are devils!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is the gap between humans and dragons akin to the gap between kobolds and them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roar!!!!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who gave you ants the courage!
