Ignoring the onlookers, Su Qing flapped her wings and transformed into a streak of light, quickly disappearing into the distance.

Those who merely watched from afar, too afraid to enter the ruins, couldn't help but be stunned.

What just flew out?

Before they could react, another figure burst out of the ruins, his voice chilling: "Stop right there!"

His voice was somewhat aged, yet full of energy.

They followed closely behind the previous streak of light.

Some people were stunned and confused, while others had a glint in their eyes and chased after them.

Su Qing quickly fled into the distance. He really didn't want to fight if he couldn't win, after all, getting beaten up was no pleasant experience.

The black sparrow he was carrying was still somewhat bewildered.

She was waiting quietly outside the door when the dragon suddenly rushed out, grabbed her, and ran away, leaving her somewhat confused.

"what happens?"

Black Sparrow quickly asked.

Who knows?

Su Qing shrugged. She hadn't done anything wrong, so who knew why that guy was chasing her?

"You little thief, stop right there!"

A cold, angry shout continued from behind.

"Thief? You stole something? What did you steal?"

Upon hearing the name called out by the pursuer, Black Sparrow immediately perked up and asked with great interest.

"No, don't talk nonsense, that's impossible. I'm not a thief, why would I do something as despicable as stealing? I was just doing some moving work!"

Su Qing retorted loudly, but looking at the figure behind her that was getting closer and closer, she felt a little helpless.

What should we do?

After thinking for a moment, Su Qing suddenly slowed down, and the old mercenary following him also slowed down.

The two slowly stopped and looked at each other: "I want half!"

The old mercenary stated his terms directly: split the profits in half upon meeting.

It was also because he realized that the person in front of him was no less fast than him and was no weaker, so he was not absolutely certain that he could defeat him.

Su Qing didn't answer, but patted Black Sparrow's head: "You go first, the farther the better!"

Black Sparrow stared at the dragon in disbelief. How could it let him go?

However, she quickly realized that the dragon seemed to be preparing to fight, and she was worried that she would be caught in the crossfire!

A strange warmth welled up inside her, and after a pause, she said with concern, "Then be careful!"

Su Qing nodded, then suddenly looked down at the woman with a strange expression.

Why does this woman suddenly seem a bit off? Never mind, after watching Black Sparrow leave, Su Qing turned his attention to the old mercenary, grinned, and looked at him with a provocative gaze.

"You think you can just dream about sharing half when we meet?"

Although I don't want to get beaten up, it's clear that this battle is unavoidable, so I'll take this opportunity to see how far I am from true glory.

The blade flashed, carving a trench more than ten meters long and three or four meters wide into a large expanse of yellow sand, which was then quickly restored.

Su Qing's black robe was torn to shreds, revealing his dark and shiny scales. He stared with dark golden dragon eyes, and his thousand-times-forged sword slashed through countless sword energies.

The two figures clashed. Su Qing had the advantage in size, but was actually suppressed by his opponent in terms of strength.

The old mercenary's back wheel spun, imbuing the blade with both sharpness and ferocity, often unleashing a blade of light hundreds of meters long.

The onlookers, watching from a distance, felt a chill run down their spines and instinctively backed away.

Commanding the wind and rain, the conqueror's crown, the dragon's wrath, swordsmanship...

Su Qing used every means at her disposal, revealing her strength without reservation, hoping to demonstrate her own capabilities.

However, the result was quite obvious. Facing a brilliant second-level opponent, he was clearly no match for him. There was a clear gap in strength, speed, and overall quality between the two.

Su Qing's size did not give her any advantage; on the contrary, it made it easier for her opponent to hit her.

However, it will be extremely difficult for the other side to defeat Su Qing.

In technical terms, it has too much health and defense.

In terms of magic resistance, the Black Dragon doesn't have any elemental advantage.

However, in terms of physical resistance, Su Qing, with his thick scales, is insanely strong, coupled with the terrifying vitality brought by his massive body.

Although Su Qing was bruised and battered and looked disheveled, the damage she had suffered was quite limited.

The old mercenary was cursing under his breath. Who the hell could have known that this was actually a dragon?

Halfway through the fight, the black robe was torn to shreds, revealing Su Qing's true form—a black dragon.

Given the current situation, even if we fight for a whole day and night, it will only be like giving this dragon a minor scraping.

The old mercenary, on the contrary, felt that he might be the one to die from the lack of blood.

After a long pause, he sighed, slashed out with his sword, the muscles on his bare arms bulging, and quickly created distance, staring intently at the dragon before him: "We'll meet again someday. This time, I admit defeat!"

Having said that, he turned and left decisively.

The old mercenary was quite decisive. Knowing that the dragon wouldn't give in and that he definitely wouldn't get a share of the so-called treasure, he left immediately without the slightest hesitation.

He's got the makings of something big!

Su Qing exclaimed in admiration, but soon, the pain emanating from all over his body made him grimace.

Ouch, that really hurts, but thankfully the money was saved!

Once we're stronger, we'll figure out how to open these three treasure troves. We don't even know what's inside.

Regardless of what the old king had said, he felt a little embarrassed. After all, the king had said he would only give him one, but he had taken them all with him. That was... quite satisfying.

Looking up at the sky, I realized that I had unknowingly spent half a day fighting with this old man.

That woman has probably disappeared somewhere!

After determining the direction, Su Qing wrapped the tail around her waist again, put on a black robe, and continued towards Chaotic Territory.

Crossing the entire desert, Su Qing had to fly on her own this time.

In this place where everything is covered in yellow sand, horse-drawn carriages simply cannot move.

Flying rapidly in a southeast direction, Su Qing gradually noticed something unusual.

The clouds in the sky seem to be getting thicker and thicker, but it doesn't feel like it's going to rain; it's more like a gloomy atmosphere shrouding the land.

Chaos Territory is said to be the most chaotic and rabid place on this continent.

Cults of evil gods, families, territories, trading cities, casinos, slave traders, mercenaries, adventurers...

Besides these, you might even find traces of other races besides humans here.

Where is the Gustavo family?

Su Qing began to ponder this very serious problem.

Since I hadn't planned to visit them before, I hadn't inquired about the family's location. Now I can only try to find out.

Opening the map of the northwestern kingdoms and determining his own location, Su Qing gently swiped his finger, landing on the place where it met the Chaotic Territory.

After passing the city ahead, it seems we'll be able to enter the Chaotic Territory.

Or, one could say that entering that city meant entering the chaotic realm.

Looking at the name of this city, Su Qing felt a sense of foreboding.

City of disaster!

However, this seems to be a characteristic of the chaotic name-receiving process.
