Chapter 3673: Siege

The biting dark wind blew, as if it wanted to blow away the intruders in the depths of the Dark Gobi. With every step forward, the dark wind became a bit stronger.

The dark wind brushed against the scale-like crystal armor plates in front of Su Xiao, and occasionally sparks could be rubbed out, which showed the power of this climate. Without a sufficiently strong physique, accidentally entering this place would soon be blown into a skeleton.

The reason why Su Xiao led the Lord's team under his command to go deep into this place was naturally to reach the Dark Salt Lake in the deepest part of the Dark Gobi. If there were no accidents, the "Eldest Son of the Abyss Dragon" lived there.

"Lord, in my experience, this season, the Abyss Dragon shouldn't be in the Dark Salt Lake."

Ergein spoke, his tone firm, his demeanor calm, as if he really knew something about the "Eldest Son of the Abyss Dragon."

"It is indeed. This is the season for the Abyss Dragon to hunt."

Viper spoke out to support him.

"Doesn't that mean we're going to return empty-handed?"

Evil Tooth also echoed.

"This is Lord Bai Ye's order. No matter what, we should go there."

Ergein could be said to be righteous. Viper on the side wanted to speak but stopped, and Evil Tooth sighed quietly.

Seeing this, Su Xiao knew that among these three, Ergein was implicitly the leader, Viper was second, and Evil Tooth had the least right to speak. It wasn't that Viper and Evil Tooth were conquered by Ergein's personality charm, but because they were beaten in secret.

As far as the Lord's team was concerned, letting Baha and Amu be the second-in-command certainly wouldn't work, because they weren't natives of this world, and their fame wasn't enough to convince the public. Although Ergein's reputation wasn't good, notoriety was also fame.

Therefore, the current situation was that Su Xiao was the leader of the Lord's team, and Ergein was the second-in-command. The problem lay here: if Ergein were a loyal second-in-command, then there would be no problem, but this guy had a rebellious bone hidden in the back of his head. In the current situation, his loyalty only reached 10 points, and at most it would reach about 50 points.

Under such circumstances, if Viper and Evil Tooth were beaten into submission by Ergein, then this guy with a rebellious bone hidden in the back of his head might really have rebellious thoughts.

Fortunately, this kind of situation wouldn't happen, because among the three big leaders redeemed from the underground city this time, there was actually a general with strength reaching the "Leader-level." This person was known as Silent Beast Jia Harvey, a War Bear Race member. He had two-quarters of Bear Race bloodline, one-quarter of Beast Race bloodline, and finally one-quarter of Human Race bloodline, which made Silent Beast Jia Harvey's face look exceptionally firm.

Su Xiao valued this person for two reasons. One was that this person's loyalty reached 95 points as soon as he entered the Lord's team. This was clearly gratitude to Su Xiao for helping him get rid of his predicament, and he was prepared to serve with peace of mind.

Another point was Harvey's command ability. His "Command Potential" was:

"Command Potential (Passive, S-level): Can inherit the halo and war-type ability effects of the affiliated command unit, and add 95% of this effect to the soldier-type units under its command. Even at a very long distance

Besides these advantages, Harvey's shortcomings were equally obvious. Letting him lead a legion to fight the enemy to the death was no problem, but if it came to a contest of schemes and tricks, Harvey was not outstanding. This was also the main reason why he ended up being captured and sent to the dungeon.

Setting aside the lack of strategic planning, Harvey was excellent in other aspects. This was not only moving, but after recruiting so many monsters and freaks, he finally discovered a reliable subordinate among them.

One point that could not be ignored was that Harvey could not become the second-in-command of the lord's team. This point became even more prominent when the various capabilities of Ergine, Harvey, Viper, and Evil-Tooth were quantified.

Ergine: Leadership (S-rank), Strategy (S+-rank), Combat Power (S+-rank), Expeditionary Power (S+++-rank), Loyalty (E-rank).

Harvey: Leadership (S-rank), Strategy (B-rank), Combat Power (S+-rank), Expeditionary Power (A-rank), Loyalty (S-rank).

Viper: Leadership (A-rank), Strategy (S+-rank), Combat Power (A-rank), Expeditionary Power (B-rank), Loyalty (B-rank).

Evil-Tooth: Leadership (B-rank), Strategy (A-rank), Combat Power (A-rank), Expeditionary Power (C-rank), Loyalty (B-rank).

If they were fighting under Su Xiao's command all along, then Harvey as the second-in-command would be no problem at all. But if they had a fief and led an army on an expedition, Ergine's ability far exceeded that of Harvey, Viper, and Evil-Tooth.

The ideal situation at present was for Ergine and Harvey to hold their own opinions, with Viper acting as a fence-sitter in the middle; this situation was the most stable.

After penetrating several dozen kilometers into the Dark Gobi, the gale blowing from the front suddenly stopped. It felt as if they had passed through an invisible thin film, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

Ahead was a pale rocky land, the rock layers on the ground weathered to the point of brittleness. After continuing for a few more kilometers, a desperate scene appeared ahead: on the horizon was a full moon exuding a sense of darkness, and beneath the moon lay a calm saltwater lake.

Under the dim moonlight, the lake surface was very calm. Purple-black energy particles had accumulated in a thick layer by the lakeside, causing black light particles to drift out. Those light particles were both dark and viscous, making one afraid to touch them.

"Lord, I told you the eldest son of the Abyss Dragon wouldn't be here this season, but you didn't believe me."

A smile bloomed on Viper's face; he certainly didn't want to fight the eldest son of the Abyss Dragon to the death.

"Moo."

Amu gathered a giant ice battle-axe and threw it into the distance. With a boom, the ice battle-axe smashed onto the distant lake surface, as if shattering a mirror, piercing the calm lake surface and revealing the pitch-black lake water inside. The lake surface that looked calm and waveless just moments ago was actually a layer of congealed matter.

The black water within the hole surged up, turning a patch of the lake pitch-black. Ergine, Harvey, and Viper all stared fixedly at the pitch-black lake water until it completely calmed down, at which point all three let out a long sigh of relief simultaneously.

Ergine and Harvey exchanged a glance; perhaps the two of them could never have dreamed that in the future, this would be the time their inner thoughts were most in sync.

"Mere beast-ants, how dare you disturb my slumber."

A long and deafening voice came from within the Dark Salt Lake; this was clearly the "eldest son of the Abyss Dragon."

"Withdraw from my place of slumber. This land is barren and not worth fighting over."

The vibrating soul-speech subsided. And believe it or not, the "eldest son of the Abyss Dragon" was actually quite reasonable. This did not match the rumors of it being violent, cruel, and wantonly slaughtering living beings.

Was it that people misunderstood the "eldest son of the Abyss Dragon"? Not at all. At this moment, the only thought the "eldest son of the Abyss Dragon" had was that it had never offended a Law-Breaker. By the time it was born, the Law-Breaker era had already ended. But now, why had a Law-Breaker come knocking, and with a group of subordinates at that?

Although the "eldest son of the Abyss Dragon" also belonged to the dragon species, any dragon creature would feel their sphincter tighten upon seeing a master of swordsmanship. As the saying goes, slaying dragons is the romance of a swordsmanship master, but for the dragon being slain, this is not romantic at all. The dragon's thought was: all masters who use blades, get the hell away from me.

And at this moment, a Grandmaster of Swordsmanship/Law-Breaker had come knocking. The "eldest son of the Abyss Dragon" was immediately startled awake from its slumber, discovering that this matter was not simple. Therefore, it rarely restrained its cruelty. If it were in the past, it would have long since burst out of the water, letting the enemy wail desperately under the Abyss Dragon Flame, and it would use those wails as a lullaby to fall back into slumber.

"My lord, this Abyss Dragon's attitude is okay. I feel the rumors are wrong, so we shouldn't provoke it..."

Before Viper could finish his sentence, Baha flew up and started the fight from high altitude:

"Little lizard hiding in the black mud, hurry up and come out to greet your daddy."

Once Baha said this, the air went quiet. The "eldest son of the Abyss Dragon" poked its dragon head, born with twisted horns, out of the lake surface. Those pitch-black vertical pupils looked at Baha, seemingly unable to react for a moment; after all, no one had ever dared to insult it so verbally before.

Boom!

The eldest son of the Abyss Dragon burst out of the water, and the crystalline matter on the lake surface shattered with a bang. It spread its wings and rose, reaching a wingspan of over three hundred meters; one could imagine its size. Those dragon wings were covered in holes eroded by Abyss energy, and its body had no dragon scales, but was instead covered in a layer of petroleum-like substance.

"Roar!!!"

The eldest son of the Abyss Dragon let out a roar, and the surrounding dark matter floated up and gathered toward it. The scene looked extremely spectacular. The pressure of challenging a dragon race was instantly maxed out at this moment, not to mention that this was an Abyss Dragon that was about to lose its sanity to Abyss erosion.

Boom! Boom! Boom!!

The eldest son of the Abyss Dragon lunged forward with its hind legs and the sharp claws on the front of its dragon wings. After instantly lunging nearly a thousand meters, its left dragon wing slapped forward, striking at the group of beastmen. Ergine and the others had long been prepared and leaped away in all directions.

Boom!

The massive dragon wing slapped down, showing signs of turning into a black semi-fluid. Immediately, several beastmen with weaker strength were smashed to pieces, only to be absorbed by the black semi-fluid the dragon wing had turned into.

With a whoosh, the eldest son of the Abyss Dragon spiraled into the sky, then spread its wings, spitting out a purple-black ray several meters thick from its mouth. With a sizzle, it swept across; where it passed, there were deafening energy explosions, and over a dozen more beastmen died on the spot.

The Abyss Dragon Flame, pitch-black with traces of white, sprayed down. The rock layers on the ground cracked due to the impact, and the dragon flame spread, like spilled oil on the ground, burning continuously for a long time.

This is the terrifying aspect of the Abyss Flame Dragon; as long as one gets a little bit on them, it will bring long-term physical burning + soul burning.

After this Abyss Dragon with wings of several hundred meters showed its power, let alone the other beastmen, even Ergine and Harvey, the strongest in combat power among them, were beaten into a daze—one running wildly while holding a battle blade, the other hiding in the black lake water while clutching a battle hammer.

The other beastmen were even more miserable; either they were running wildly while screaming and dragging the Abyss Dragon Flame, or they were blasted half-buried in the mud. Viper's shouting came; this guy was currently being pinched in the dragon claw by the eldest son of the Abyss, then stylishly tossed up, and sprayed with a mouthful of Abyss Dragon Flame.

In the other dragon claw of the eldest son of the Abyss Dragon, it was clutching the Tree-Folk/Giant Armor. Perhaps the strength of the eldest son of the Abyss Dragon was quite terrifying; Giant Armor was pinched until it spat green juice from its mouth.

In the distant gale zone, Su Xiao sat inside a crystal shield, watching the beastmen fighting in a melee with the eldest son of the Abyss Dragon in the distance. He came this time to train the combat power of the lord's team; he himself, of course, would not take action. If he took action himself, then forming the lord's team would have no meaning.

Time passed minute by minute. On the rocky ground by the lake, Harvey, with a face full of blood, held his long-handled battle hammer high. Storm and solar energy gathered, turning into a hundred-meter-level giant energy hammer that fell, smashing the eldest son of the Abyss Dragon until it fell into the saltwater lake.

Don't look at how miserably the group of beastmen were beaten; they had the blessing of the "Blazing Sun" ability. The eldest son of the Abyss Dragon was actually not having a good time either, especially since the "Blazing Sun Mark" on its body was already fully stacked.

"Blazing Sun (Passive): Deals 320~470 points + 0.2%~15% of maximum health in true burning damage to the enemy."

Hint: The Blazing Sun Mark can be stacked up to five layers (this is the full layer), and will persist for 60~9000 seconds (depending on the current number of layers)."

When the enemy is in the full "Blazing Sun Mark" state: all "melee" elite units on your side will deal an additional 470 points + 15% of maximum health in true burning damage when attacking this enemy unit, and it carries a knockback effect."

When the enemy is in the full "Blazing Sun Mark" state: all "ranged" elite units on your side will deal an additional 320 points + 10% of maximum health in true burning damage when attacking this enemy unit, and it carries a severe healing suppression effect."

"Run!"

Harvey smashed down with another Blazing Sun heavy hammer, causing the eldest son of the Abyss Dragon to roar, and black mud and water splashed high up.

Hearing this shout, Viper was the first to limp away toward the distance, Evil-Tooth followed closely behind, and other beastmen also ran together toward the gale zone. Ergine, however, stayed behind alone to cover the retreat, blood dripping down his chin, his gaze calm as he stared at the eldest son of the Abyss Dragon.

After another round of roaring, all the beastmen withdrew from the Dark Salt Lake area, leaving only the eldest son of the Abyss Dragon, dripping with black blood and roaring at the sky. This battle reduced the lord's team, whose members had just reached 430, down to only 80-plus.

Over three hours later, Ergine, with a bandage wrapped around his head, was the first to walk out of the gale zone. Strangely, the number of members in the lord's team reached 400-plus again. The reason for this was naturally that they had redeemed another batch of beastmen in the dungeon. It was still the original method: either leave, or come and defeat the eldest son of the Abyss Dragon, after which each person would get 1000 gold coins.

"Don't be afraid, we just fought a battle with this Abyss Dragon a few hours ago; it's not as strong as you think."

While speaking, Viper had already strode forward, and the beastmen who had just arrived here could only rush forward together.

With a boom, the eldest son of the Abyss Dragon burst out of the water. Enemies meeting, they started fighting directly. The two sides had just fought a life-and-death battle a few hours ago, and now they were both holding a fire in their hearts.

The two sides were once again embroiled in a melee. This melee was even more intense than the last, lasting a full five hours before it subsided. Ergine, Harvey, and the others fled back to the gale zone in a sorry state. The eldest son of the Abyss Dragon was just about to pursue, but vaguely saw those eyes exuding red light within the gale zone. Its wings, which it had made a gesture to spread, paused, and it turned and plunged into the Dark Salt Lake, quickly recovering its injuries in the dark matter deposited below.

This time, the lord's team was better than the last; over 100 members successfully escaped into the gale zone.

A few hours later, just when the eldest son of the Abyss Dragon thought that these beastmen who had come to trouble it twice would not come again, Ergine, Harvey, and the others, with more bandages tied on their bodies, walked out. It was still a lineup of 400-plus beastmen.

The eldest son of the Abyss Dragon, poking its head out of the black lake water, was confused. It carefully recalled the beastmen it had devoured, but couldn't figure out why, even though it had eaten more of the tribal people, the beastmen side hated it even more?

"Don't be afraid, we have rich combat experience with this Abyss Dragon. Charge, kill it!"

Viper shouted loudly and was the first to rush up again. It was strange to say, every time he was the first to rush up, but as he rushed, he ended up behind everyone else.

Watching the large group of beastmen rushing over, the eldest son of the Abyss Dragon was furious. How many years had it been since anyone dared to provoke it like this? No, it was that no living being had ever dared to provoke it like this.

The melee started once again, but a few hours later, the eldest son of the Abyss Dragon was not so angry. The reason was that it found these beastmen were hurting more and more as they fought, as if every beastman had a kind of solar-characteristic ability. This ability was particularly tricky; once hit multiple times, its defense in this aspect would be reduced to nothing, and subsequently, every hit would hurt to the soul, as if the fire of the sun was about to burn its soul to ashes.

If it weren't for the large amount of dark matter in the Dark Salt Lake below, which allowed the eldest son of the Abyss Dragon to quickly and massively recover its health by absorbing these dark substances, and the fact that this kind of Abyss-characteristic recovery was not suppressed, it would have long since been besieged to death by the high damage of the lord's team.

When this round of melee subsided, only 140-plus beastmen rushed into the gale zone, while the eldest son of the Abyss Dragon, not lightly injured, rushed into the lake. This time, it even saved its angry roar, the reason being that the injuries on its body were truly too painful.

Another few hours passed, and Ergine, Harvey, Viper, and the others walked out of the gale once again. The number of members of the lord's team reached 400-plus again. Viper, walking at the very front, shouted:

"Come out!"

The lake surface was calm. Harvey, a man of few words but ruthless actions, raised his battle hammer, and a Solar Heavy Hammer was smashed into the Dark Salt Lake. The eldest son of the Abyss Dragon, bearing the impact, roared and burst out of the water.

This melee was particularly intense. When the beastmen were beaten back and a total of about 170 beastmen rushed into the gale zone, the eldest son of the Abyss Dragon spat out a large mouthful of black dragon blood before sinking into the Dark Salt Lake.

In the dark matter under the lake, the eldest son of the Abyss Dragon, which was recovering its injuries, began to recall what it had done before to provoke the beastmen to such an extent that they actually sent an elite team of "Boss-level" individuals to seek revenge regardless of casualties, and whether it should restrain itself in the future. After these low-level races got angry, their revenge was also quite ruthless.

Just when the eldest son of the Abyss Dragon was beaten to the point of reflecting on itself, across the lake water, it heard once again that beastman with the thin Prison Snake bloodline shouting something by the lakeside.

With a boom, the eldest son of the Abyss Dragon broke through the lake surface. Amidst angry roars, it lunged at Ergine and the others. The melee started once again.

This melee did not end with the beastmen fleeing in a sorry state. A total of 200-plus beastmen stood on the rocky ground by the lake, staring at the eldest son of the Abyss Dragon from a hundred meters away. Both sides were seriously injured, but Ergine and the others didn't really want to flee back to the gale zone. Although after returning there, their "not good at force" lord would help them treat their injuries, the process was so unforgettable that even Ergine felt a shudder in his heart when he thought about it.

"Retreat."

After Ergine shouted this, the group of beastmen retreated toward the gale zone. Seeing this, the eldest son of the Abyss Dragon actually felt a sense of relief, and it retreated back into the dark matter under the lake.

Time passed quietly. Another few hours later, Ergine led 400-plus beastmen out of the gale zone. Viper cleared his throat and shouted:

"Come out!"

The shouting fell, but there was no movement in the Dark Salt Lake. Seeing this, Harvey raised his hammer with one hand, and a Solar Heavy Hammer fell.

Boom!

Lake water splashed everywhere, but there was still no movement. After Ergine and the others exchanged glances, Evil-Tooth leaped into the lake. A moment later, he poked his head out of the black lake water and said, "The eldest son of the Abyss Dragon is not here; it seems to have fled."

In fact, the eldest son of the Abyss Dragon had moved house. This violent, cruel high-level dragon race, after being beaten five times, decided to move house. It didn't want to stay in this unlucky place for even one more second.

"Pursue!"

Ergine pulled over a Blood Wolf tribesman and had him track the scent. Soon, the group of beastmen tracked the trail of the eldest son of the Abyss Dragon and chased toward the north side of the Dark Gobi.

Two hours later, the eldest son of the Abyss Dragon, which had scattered a large amount of dragon blood while flying, crashed into the Dark Salt Lake and sank into the dark matter to recover its injuries. It wasn't that it wanted to come back, but those beastmen had been hunting it down, especially the Centaur race among them. The spiral arrows with the Blazing Sun effect were particularly lethal. Although due to the weight and length of the metal spiral arrows, each Centaur could only carry 8-10 spiral arrows at a time, they were equally lethal.

Regarding killing these Centaurs first, the eldest son of the Abyss Dragon had tried more than once. These guys not only ran fast but could also fight in melee with spiral heavy cavalry spears. Moreover, these heavy cavalrymen were not fragile at all. More importantly, these fully armored Centaurs had a talent: the more of their own kind around them, the stronger the defensive characteristics provided by their "Heavy Cavalry" ability.

The Centaur race was originally an elite group among the beastmen, belonging to the type with small numbers but strong combat power. The eldest son of the Abyss Dragon had really seen so many "Big Boss-level" Centaurs gathered together for the first time.

After a full 70-plus "Big Boss-level" Centaurs gathered together, the armor stacking of the "Heavy Cavalry" ability was thick enough, not to mention the "All Ability Level Increase Lv. 18" provided by the Solar Lord, allowing these Centaurs' Lv. 70 "Heavy Cavalry" ability to reach Lv. 88. Finally, adding the "Maximum Health Increase 35%", their survival power was even more formidable.

This was still without the sunlight shining; otherwise, "Sunlight Nourishment" would provide a 1% maximum health recovery effect per second.

Not only that, Ignoring Xiang Bubu Wang's "Swift Aura" also provided the Centaurs with a 20% overall movement speed increase. They already ran fast, and they had a talent ability: as long as they were not attacked while running, they would run faster and faster. Their peak speed could reach a 750% speed bonus. Now, after increasing by one-fifth, it was even more outrageous.

These heavy cavalrymen had physiques as hard as if they were cast from metal. After charging, their melee attacks carried a knockback effect, and their ranged spiral arrows carried the "Blazing Sun" effect. They couldn't be killed, their attack power was strong, and the key was that one couldn't outrun them. The eldest son of the Abyss Dragon was besieged and chased back by these heavy cavalrymen. As for flying to high altitude, the spiral arrows' range of tens of thousands of meters was not just for show.

By the Dark Salt Lake, before long, the seventh siege against the eldest son of the Abyss Dragon began. The Tree-Folk/Giant Armor leaped into the lake. I don't know if it was an illusion, but Giant Armor seemed to have been somewhat eroded by the Abyss energy here, but it was becoming more and more resistant to beating—so resistant that even when pressed under the dragon claw by the eldest son of the Abyss Dragon and sprayed with Abyss Dragon Flame, Giant Armor could still raise its giant stone axe and knock the eldest son of the Abyss Dragon on the head.

Fighting until now, the eldest son of the Abyss Dragon found this piece of wood that couldn't be burned or torn disgusting. Every time a battle started, it would directly toss it into the gale zone.

When the seventh siege ended, Ergine simply didn't let the beastmen retreat to the gale zone, but instead camped on the spot in the rocky area. Seeing this scene, the eldest son of the Abyss Dragon was naturally furious. After rushing out again to kill over a dozen beastmen, it was beaten until it vomited black dragon blood and retreated back into the Dark Salt Lake, not coming out again, which was considered a tacit acceptance of the lord's team camping there.

Soon, a new batch of beastmen redeemed from the dungeon arrived, among whom were many Centaurs. Seeing that the newcomers had arrived, Ergine stood up and walked toward the Dark Salt Lake.

Over ten hours later, with a muffled boom, the roaring eldest son of the Abyss Dragon was hammered out of the Dark Salt Lake. Giant Armor, whose branches had all turned black, roared and pounced on the dragon head, its two large hands grabbing the upper and lower jaws of the eldest son of the Abyss Dragon and prying them. This tree-folk blockhead held a grudge; in the previous dozen or so melees, the eldest son of the Abyss Dragon had sprayed it with dragon flame many times.

After the eldest son of the Abyss Dragon let out an unwilling hiss, it no longer had the strength and crashed down. In those vertical pupils, it still didn't understand why these beastmen hated it so much that they came to fight it to the death time and time again.

"Pah, finally won."

Ergine spat out the bitter and salty lake water in his mouth and sat in the mud by the lake, panting heavily. Not far away, Harvey, with a small half of his body exposed outside the mud, tried to sit up, but failed several times.

Just at this moment, Su Xiao walked out of the gale zone. He checked the lord's team. At present, the beastmen in the team were all "Big Boss-level" in strength at the weakest, and there were a bunch of small boss-levels. As for the higher leader-levels, Ergine, Harvey, Viper, and Evil-Tooth were all such. Ergine and Harvey were in the top echelon of leader-levels, Viper was in the middle, and Evil-Tooth was in the lower.

The lord's team had a total of 450 members, including 150 Centaurs. Besides being able to charge and disrupt the enemy's formation, these Centaurs were also formidable ranged attackers.

Powerful ranged output units are fragile? Take a look at a group of "Heavy Cavalry" powerful ranged output units. If someone tried to deal with them like conventional ranged units by rushing their faces, they would simply be courting death. Their physiques could fully support them in shooting enemies to pieces at close range.

If these Centaurs turned and ran when facing an enemy charge, it wasn't because they were afraid in their hearts, much less afraid of being approached by the enemy; they were completely showing off their talent ability of running faster and faster.

Su Xiao came to the side of the eldest son of the Abyss Dragon's head. Those huge dragon eyes stared at Su Xiao with intense killing intent and hatred. At this moment, the eldest son of the Abyss Dragon was certain that this Law-Breaker was the culprit behind it being besieged for over a dozen rounds.

Su Xiao activated the brand device and branded the soul-characteristic summoning mark on the upper palate of the eldest son of the Abyss Dragon. The excruciating pain of the soul immediately allowed the eldest son of the Abyss Dragon to recover a little strength. It struggled and rolled a few times, then lost its strength again.

Su Xiao tried to control the eldest son of the Abyss Dragon with the soul mark, but failed. He could feel the eldest son of the Abyss Dragon's consciousness of resisting to the death; it was clearly unwilling to obey Su Xiao's mental commands even if it meant death.

Discovering this, Su Xiao said, "So, you want to die with the dignity of an Abyss Dragon?"

"That would be best."

The eldest son of the Abyss Dragon emitted a soul-voice. Hearing this, Su Xiao nodded.

"Then you choose for yourself: either deal with the Sea Race together with us, or be served on the dining table. Choose one of the two."

"Law-Breaker, you are too arrogant. I don't believe you would dare to eat me, who has been eroded by the Abyss..."

Before the eldest son of the Abyss Dragon could finish its sentence, Su Xiao took out a cookbook, opened it, and threw it in front of the eldest son of the Abyss Dragon. The eldest son of the Abyss Dragon used dark energy to form an arm and caught it.

Seeing this cookbook, the eldest son of the Abyss Dragon was initially disdainful, but the more it looked, the more the things recorded on it seemed to be true. This made its gaze increasingly solemn. When it flipped to the dragon race chapter of the recipes, it suddenly felt that being served on the dining table seemed to be more than just a threat.
