In an instant, several small creatures jumped into the Giant Dragon’s mouth, while some Casters applied strange Magic on their own eyes.
Until everyone was ready.
Land inhaled through his nose, and sparks leapt from his mouth, gathering into flames that spewed forth.
Whoosh!!!!
A few Casters quickly retreated to the sides at this moment.
The fan-shaped Dragon Flame surged fiercely, covering several dozen meters ahead, instantly burning the weeds on the ground to ash, turning black, and then red.
The crimson glow bathed the Casters on both sides, coloring them thoroughly red.
The Dragon Flame lasted no more than a few seconds before it ceased.
The Giant Dragon turned to look at the Casters and asked:
"How is it? After seeing it with your own eyes, any insights? Or do you feel the need for an encore?"
"No need, Your Highness the Giant Dragon, I think I have an idea now."
Amos wore a pensive expression, then shook his head and left.
The other Casters muttered to themselves but soon departed one by one as well.
They appeared far more professional than the first batch of recruited Casters.
At this moment, Land inhaled again and breathed out the Dragon Flame!
However, this time he did not open his mouth, and flames erupted from his mouth, nose, eyes, and ears.
His body turned beet-red as it was scorched, lasting until ten seconds passed.
Only then did it stop again.
He wasn’t harming himself but cautiously removing any potential tricks those Casters might have placed on him before returning to the Green Forest.
Two Little Dragons followed merrily behind. Just as they were about to enter together,
the Xiao Female Dragon suddenly sped up, swiftly blocking the Little Black Dragon, her expression extremely unfriendly as she said:
"Ed! You useless waste! Being hatched from the same clutch is a disgrace to me!
How dare you shamelessly lick Land’s scales?
You seem quite pleased with yourself? Where is your pride as a True Dragon?"
The Xiao Female Dragon’s face was full of disdain by the end.
"You have no right to speak against me! Fiona! It was Ed’s order! Do you dare defy him?"
The Little Black Dragon replied indignantly, glaring at the Xiao Female Dragon:
"Ultimately, you should thank me! If I hadn’t licked fast enough, you would have been the one licking Land’s scales! Instead of thanking me, you look down on me? What’s the logic?"
"Pei! Waste! That was only Land testing our pride as True Dragons!"
The Xiao Female Dragon spat a mouthful of saliva on the Little Black Dragon’s face.
This behavior had been happening frequently of late.
Whenever the Xiao Female Dragon suffered a setback in front of Land, she would take it out on the Little Black Dragon.
Bully the Little Black Dragon fiercely.
But today, the Little Black Dragon seemed to be in an uncharacteristic state, dodging away, then also spitting back at the Xiao Female Dragon!
The Xiao Female Dragon failed to dodge in time.
She was hit on the head by the Little Black Dragon’s acidic, green saliva unique to Black Dragons, corroding her scales with a sizzling sound.
Wisps of black smoke rose from the scales.
Seeing this, the Xiao Female Dragon was enraged, roaring as she charged at the Little Black Dragon!
The Little Black Dragon, unwilling to show weakness, also roared back, and the two young dragons clashed!
Waaaa! Ughhh! The sounds of roars echoed repeatedly.
The battle lasted about twenty minutes before it ended.
There was no need to speak of the outcome. The Xiao Female Dragon, with her thick Red Dragon lineage, sat atop the Little Black Dragon, her facial muscles twitching gently. One of her scales on her facial armor had been knocked askew and was still bleeding!
While beneath her, the Little Black Dragon’s eyes were red with bloodshot, and his facial armor was swollen with several scales shattered, also bleeding.
Hiss hiss hiss~
The sound of heavy breathing echoed.
The Xiao Female Dragon glared angrily at the Little Black Dragon, growling lowly:
"Damn Ed! Who do you think you are? How dare you challenge the great Red Dragon King Fiona! Have you eaten a Demon’s heart or an Angel’s gall?"
"Hiss hiss hiss~"
The Little Black Dragon panted without speaking; he had calmed down from his earlier hot-bloodedness.
Finding himself unlike his usual self today, just a few words from Fiona had incited his rage, leading him to fight her.
This wasn’t right!
According to his usual self, he couldn’t care less about this arrogant fool!
What was wrong today?
Reflecting on the whole day, it seemed to have started after licking Land’s blood. He began to feel a bit abnormal.
Energetic, vigorous, easily excited?
But then again, this time he seemed to have gotten a bit stronger?
Being able to hold against Fiona for a full twenty minutes? This was unimaginable before!
Remembering before, in just ten minutes, he would have been beaten sore by the Xiao Female Dragon.
He felt that, perhaps in the future, he truly could defeat Fiona? Reclaim his rightful status?
This thought invigorated him, and he couldn’t help but grin in a strange smile.
"Hmm? Not answering my words, are you? And you dare to mock me? Ed! You bastard! Have your wings hardened! Looking for a fight!"
Seeing this, the Xiao Female Dragon’s anger flared once more, launching a fierce attack on the Little Black Dragon’s head!
Slap slap slap!
"Ah! Ouch! Ouch! Fiona! My sister! Great Red Dragon King! I was wrong! Can’t I admit I was wrong! Spare me!" The Little Black Dragon’s screams began to echo across the plains.
...............
Several days later.
Within the Green Forest, small Magic creatures occasionally flew out, heading toward Green City.
Atop the Mage Tower.
In an ancient room filled with thick tomes.
An elderly man with snow-white hair and beard sat at a wooden table, silently flipping through a thick book, wearing a monocle.
Until, with a fluttering sound, a pitch-black owl landed on the windowsill, hooting softly, waking the old man from his reverie.
He closed his book, rubbed his somewhat sore eyes, turned his head towards the windowsill, and slowly walked over.
Then, he took out a meatball from his pocket, handed it to the owl, and then retrieved a roll of parchment from beneath the owl’s feet, opening it.
Written on it was a small line of text.
"To the esteemed Great Mage:
According to your instructions, I have spent several days near the Evil Dragon in the Green Forest, gaining some understanding of everything about the Evil Dragon.
The Evil Dragon has few followers, about four to five hundred Half-Beastmen and Elves.
Excluding the old, weak, sick, and disabled, the actual combat strength may only number two to three hundred.
However, the Evil Dragon’s strength is extremely powerful.
During our first encounter with the Evil Dragon, a major incident occurred.
Twenty Casters teamed up to attack the Evil Dragon.
Their strength was formidable, with at least five to six level 10 or higher Casters.
One would have expected an intense battle, but who would have thought the Evil Dragon was so powerful, far exceeding expectations, casually toyed with all the Casters, then easily killed, no! Should say brutally slaughtered all Casters!
You might not be able to imagine such a scene...
I dare say, that is definitely a power that even an adult Red Dragon cannot possess.
Additionally, regarding the Evil Dragon’s wealth you asked me to inquire about, I’ve found that claims of tens of thousands of Gold Talers are exaggerated, but this Evil Dragon currently possesses at least thousands of Gold Talers.
However, what is even more surprising is that this Evil Dragon has its own sources of wealth.
In the Laine Kingdom, within the Viscount’s Domain of Ireland, he owns his own commerce guild, reportedly earning hundreds of Gold Talers monthly, while his guild is continually expanding..."
