There aren’t any large Demon Beasts here, nothing to satisfy a dragon’s huge appetite.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Half-Beast Priest shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Andris wanted to say something, but suddenly his heart stirred, and he paused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the Golden Dragon spiral away, disappearing towards the northeast, his eyes flickered a few times. Then he suddenly stood up and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, it’s getting late. Since we’ve completed our transaction, we should head back early.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as he was about to leave, the Half-Beast Priest suddenly stopped him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, hey… what’s the rush? You’ve had a long journey; it’s good to rest a bit more.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Half-Beastman Sharu said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Andris noticed that Sharu discreetly signaled to his subordinates, and a few Half-Beastmen quietly left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An idea flashed through Andris’s mind, and he suddenly smiled and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord Sharu, although I would like to rest some more, we have other matters to attend to and can’t delay here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, his words were quickly pierced by the Half-Beast Priest,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh heh, Lord Andris, it’s about the Golden Dragon, isn’t it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Sharu’s words, Andris’s expression darkened slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, he was here for the Golden Dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If elves were the most popular and expensive slaves in the slave market,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>then dragons were the most coveted and legendary Demon Beasts in the beast market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if dragons never considered themselves part of the Demon Beasts, instead proudly seeing themselves as superior to humanoid intelligent beings…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, whenever a dragon appeared in the slave market, it always caused a massive sensation, and every dragon was auctioned for sky-high prices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the dragons that could be auctioned by humans were only those young ones that hadn’t grown up yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover… whenever an auction house sold a dragon, it would often face the dragon’s revenge afterward, to the extent that it might lead to the destruction of a city or even a small human country…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, even so, humans still pursued dragons avidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was because dragons represented an existence with a longer lifespan than elves and even greater growth potential!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And… if one went through underground trading, the wealth a single dragon could bring was enough to make anyone take the risk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, when Andris saw this Golden Dragon, he already had some thoughts in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, he wasn’t the only one with such thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Sharu’s inscrutable expression, Andris was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord Sharu, don’t you know that young metallic dragons often have elders accompanying them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, Mr. Andris, don’t be fooled by my role as a priest. I participated in adventures when I was young too. If there really were an adult Golden Dragon accompanying it, we would have been driven away long ago with the young dragon flying this close.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sharu chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Andris fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*It was true.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*If there really were an elder accompanying them, he wouldn’t have allowed them to see the young dragon.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Undoubtedly, it must have been a lone Golden Dragon young dragon…*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*And such a presence, for any adventurer with ambition, meant a chance at sudden wealth…*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Eighty-twenty, we get eighty.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Andris suddenly proposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, Mr. Andris, isn’t your appetite a bit too big for this? This is the Death Desert! Besides… with such an empty terrain, if you rush in, you’d probably be spotted instantly, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sharu chuckled softly and had the Half-Beastmen under his command show off their crude linen clothes that almost blended with the desert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Andrews squinted at him and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Seventy-thirty, this is the limit, Lord Sharu. You should understand that only our Sorren Commerce can bear the retaliation from selling a dragon…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Andris’s serious expression, Sharu laughed slyly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Deal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the other party agree, Andris let out a slight sigh of relief. He pondered for a moment and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then let’s get prepared quickly, lest we lose track of it, and… you are familiar with the terrain, send more people, and get us more clothes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No problem!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both sides reached an agreement and quickly organized an adventure team to capture the Golden Dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorren Commerce sent out almost half of its mercenaries, a total of thirty, all of whom were seasoned Black Iron Upper mercenaries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Half-Beastmen were not outdone, sending out over eighty Half-orc Warriors in one go, more than half of whom were Black Iron Upper level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This level of strength was more than enough to deal with a young Golden Dragon at most only with Silver strength and the intelligence of an eleven or twelve-year-old child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The adventure team, led by the Silver Warrior Andris, soon marched grandly in pursuit of where the Golden Dragon had vanished…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speed of the young Golden Dragon wasn’t fast, as if it were playing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Andris led a makeshift hunting team of over a hundred humans and Half-Beastmen, quickly catching up to the dragon’s figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They wore the pale yellow linen clothes provided by the Half-Beastmen, blending into the desert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the young dragon had not yet discovered them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After flying for a while, the young dragon seemed tired and descended into a lowland area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Andris’s eyes lit up, and he hurriedly signaled for his men to pursue it.\u003C\u002Fp>",914,"2026-06-03T12:38:37.761Z","2026-06-03T12:38:45.913Z",1,"novelbin.me","f8850e1e3c4c9a0eea4e31b14196d25e571a0a147daf3f4cd00e4a5470edd198","elf-kingdom-game-of-the-world-tree-chapter-563","elf-kingdom-game-of-the-world-tree-chapter-561",1431,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Felf-kingdom-game-of-the-world-tree-cover.jpg"]
