"If it weren't for my cleverness, you would have gotten away!"

"Orlan, after them!"

The tunnels were narrow, requiring even those at the Star Rank to crawl forward.

Linda carried Tasia out of the tunnel, found a spot with dense bushes, and plunged inside.

...

...

It is a forest about ten miles north of the Forest Dragon's Nest.

The trees were blasted into thousands of pieces by the magical turbulence, leaving countless craters on the ground.

In several of them lay the mangled corpses of adventurers.

In their lifetimes, they were all renowned Moon-rank adventurers.

But faced with this colossal creature before them, the embodiment of power, the king of the sky... a fully grown forest dragon, the adventurers were as fragile as paper. A scratch from its claws left them severely injured on the spot.

The heavily armored warriors were somewhat better off, but the mages and healers in the back row couldn't even withstand a single attack from Senlong.

A giant, deep green dragon spread its wings and soared a thousand meters into the sky, its eyes filled with fury.

It opened its huge mouth, and grass-type magic gathered within, transforming into light bullets that shot towards the adventurers.

"Watch out! It's at its last gasp. Victory belongs to our Holy Rock Adventurer Team!"

The burly man with short blond hair raised the greatsword of light high, and a holy rune floated out of the sword, instantly growing larger and showering light upon his companions.

Rare Skill: Holy Law!

Pray with a devout heart for the protection of the Holy Light, and strengthen your own and your companions' defense and agility!

The members of the Holy Rock Adventure Team seemed to have been injected with adrenaline, their auras surging.

"As expected of my father, he showed no fear even when facing a dragon. I and Aiko are still far behind."

A hint of seriousness appeared in Bovis's narrowed eyes.

Looking up at the rain of light projectiles falling from the sky, Bovis thought of his sister, who had completely given up.

Slaying a dragon was extremely risky, but the father never considered the consequences of failure. For that burly man who took pride in his scarred body, risking his life for the title of "Dragon Slayer" was entirely worthwhile.

Sometimes, Bervis even wondered if he and Eko were their father's offspring. Their personalities were so different, like standing at the three corners of a triangle.

"If I survive, I'll go see Aiko. Maybe I was too harsh on her in the past."

Bervis knew why these jumbled thoughts were popping into his head—he was afraid.

He feared that if the dragon's barrage of light rained down, he too would become a corpse in the deep pit.

That level 49, epic five-star adult forest dragon was just that terrifying.

There are three Rising Sun-level adventure groups nearby: Holy Rock and Bear Roar from Nanyan City, and Red Heart from Red Peach City, with a total of 13 Moon-level adventurers.

Even so, he was still no match for Senlong.

This is just one of the dragons located relatively low in the dragon pyramid.

How powerful must the legendary golden dragon and sacred dragon be?

Bervis smiled helplessly.

I hope I can survive and have the opportunity to witness such a scene.

Unlike the Holy Rock Adventurers, who are single-mindedly focused on battle.

The Bear Roar Adventure Team's main focus is on finding bargains.

The leader's name is Xiong Ji, a purebred brown bear orc.

The Bear Clan has always been one of the most intelligent of the orcs, and along with the Leopard Clan and the Wolf Clan, they have produced the most captains.

Xiong Ji thought to himself: While the three Chaoyang-class ships were holding back Senlong, the fox brother who went back to loot the treasure should have succeeded, right?

The baby dragon has not been seen yet; no one knows where it has been hidden.

During the battle in the nest, with the Forest Dragon blocking the way, it was difficult for Kumakichi to make a move.

Now they've lured the Senlong out, leaving the lair unguarded.

As long as the baby dragon is still alive, it will be powerless against the experienced level 43 fox.

Xiongji's round ears twitched, and his mind raced as he calculated: The Senlong Treasure he had stolen was worth at least 15 million gold, and killing the baby dragon would bring in several million more. This trip was definitely worth it.

As for killing Senlong and obtaining the title of "Dragon Slayer"?

Xiongji wouldn't bother with something as thankless and exhausting as this.

Two people have already died on Saint Rock's side, and one of Red Hearts has also been eliminated.

His Bear Roar Adventure Team was mostly unharmed, except for two injured members.

We might be criticized by the other two sides afterward, but so what?

For adventurers, survival is the most important thing.

Those who want to slay dragons should be left to madmen.

As he pondered, a barrage of light rained down.

...

The forest was destroyed, and the deafening roar was deafening.

A raging wildfire broke out.

The darkness turned orange-red.

Senlong raised his head and roared, his eyes filled with deep sorrow.

It sensed something.

The young dragon... its offspring, has left this world forever.

What rose in my heart was a fire of rage that wanted to destroy everything.

Senlong will make the murderer who killed its offspring pay the price.

They devoured the other's flesh and blood, crushed their souls, and died amidst screams of agony.

The dragon spread its wings and flew away.

Amid the wildfire, Burvis, his face covered in blood, crawled out of a crater.

"His ribs were broken in the middle of the night, and his thigh bone was also broken."

"Dragons are indeed difficult to deal with."

While sighing, Bovis looked up at the night sky, but found no trace of Senlong.

...

...

"Chase after her! Linda must be up ahead!"

Nacho and another man in black robes emerged from the tunnel.

After searching for Linda for a long time, I finally saw a glimmer of hope.

How can we continue to let them off the hook?

Nacho didn't want to be held accountable by the enraged Halus!

Only by capturing Linda and handing her over to Halus can he save his own life.

Despite being the one being chased by Nacho, he was actually much more nervous than Linda.
