Chapter 18 Danger (Seeking monthly votes and to continue reading)
Tears blurred Samantha's eyes; her heart was filled with regret and resentment.
suddenly.
Through the blurry vision, it could vaguely see a black and red dragon shadow rising into the sky from the hemlock hills.
The goblin wolf riders who were chasing from behind also saw the black and red dragon shadow. They were startled and trembled with fear.
Let's set aside the Great Goblin and the Bear Goblin for now.
Normal goblins are not unintelligent, but they are notorious for their cowardly nature and lack of organization in battle. When the situation is favorable, they like to rush in like a swarm of bees, but if they find that the enemy is strong, they will scatter and run away immediately.
Goblin wolf riders are more ferocious than ordinary goblins.
However, his underlying personality is still one of bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
When they saw the black and red dragon shadow soaring into the sky, they didn't see it clearly at first and mistook it for an adult dragon, almost being scared to death.
However, upon closer inspection, I noticed its size.
The fear and dread vanished instantly.
It turned out to be another baby dragon.
Excellent! Hunting two baby dragons at once and handing them over to the tribe's alchemists will surely allow them to create many powerful alchemical tools, making the tribe even stronger.
The situation has stabilized.
The goblin wolf riders stood ready, gazing up at the dragon's shadow high in the sky.
"Goblins bully the weak and fear the strong, but they are also extremely vengeful."
"Now that we've decided to take action, we can't let any of these goblin wolf riders live."
Galos narrowed his eyes and made a decision in an instant.
He swooped down from the sky, the metal structure at the edge of his wing membrane flashing blindingly in the sunlight, like a giant decapitating blade drawn from its sheath, slicing through the air with a piercing whistle.
Five poisoned arrows pierced the air and shot toward Garus's chest and abdomen.
The red-iron dragon neither dodged nor avoided the sharp arrowheads as they struck its pitted, black-red scales, sending sparks flying and bouncing away as if it had hit an anvil.
—The physical constitution of dragons cannot be generalized. The hardness of Garus' scales far exceeds that of normal young dragons, and even juvenile dragons may not be able to compare with it.
With its wings flapping, it stirred up a strong wind and accelerated its dive.
Almost in the blink of an eye.
Garros approached the ground at an astonishing speed, far exceeding the goblins' expectations.
"Scatter! Scatter quickly!"
Faced with the black iron dragon swooping down, its wingspan resembling a fifteen-meter-long blade, the goblin wolf riders felt a great threat and immediately scattered to avoid the dragon's attack.
However, their reaction was a step too slow.
The goblin wolf riders at the very front didn't even have time to look up.
Garus's dragon wings swept across like guillotines.
A helmeted head and a half-body encased in leather armor, the severed limbs shooting skyward, the blood spurting from the fracture staining the rain-soaked muddy ground a dark red.
A dive.
Half of the goblin wolf riders were killed.
Blood cascaded down his wings like a waterfall as Galus spun upwards, twisted and turned, and swooped down again.
His first wave of attacks had terrified the goblin wolf riders, who scattered and fled, too afraid to fight back.
However, there are always outliers within any group.
One of the goblin wolf riders, seemingly realizing that fleeing was pointless, shouted, "Don't panic! Don't panic!"
Its cries were drowned out by the gale whipped up by the young dragon’s wings, failing to awaken its other kin. Even the gray giant wolf beneath it tucked its tail between its legs in fear of the dragon’s might and dared not charge.
He gritted his teeth.
This level 5 elite goblin wolf rider leaped off the wolf's back.
Instead of fleeing, it charged towards Garus with its battle sword, leaping high into the air, gripping the metal blade tightly with both hands, and slashing at the young dragon's head.
"Great Magnubie, bear witness for me, grant me courage and strength!"
It shouted in the goblin language, praying to the gods of the goblin race.
Snap!
Garros casually slapped the goblin with his claw.
The terrifying force swept away everything in its path, instantly smashing the goblin in mid-air. Flesh and entrails were scattered across the ground in a radial pattern, a gruesome death.
The surviving wolf riders completely collapsed, running and fleeing haphazardly without any strategy.
One minute later.
The shadow solidified rapidly, and Garus descended from the sky, pressing a claw down on the goblin's head, crushing it and its gray wolf mount together.
At this point, all the goblin cavalrymen were dead.
He hasn't used any spell-like skills yet, like the Dark Gold Tail Ring or Dragon Breath.
The surviving gray wolves tucked their tails between their legs, trembling like leaves, and dared not move.
"We can keep them as reserve food."
Galos thought to himself that he did not intend to kill these beasts directly.
Immediately, Garus flapped his dragon wings, creating a gale that blew up the bits of flesh and blood clinging to his body, spreading them around him.
He turned to look at Samantha, who was slumped on the ground.
On the other side, Samantha's pupils reflected the outline of her brother shrouded in blood mist.
The steam rising from his scales mingled with the smell of blood. His wings were broad and enormous, and his limbs and torso were thick and strong. The muscles beneath his dragon scales must have been cast from steel. His entire body was full of powerful beauty, strong and mighty.
at the same time.
The ground suddenly began to tremble with a loud rumble.
Samantha turned her head and saw a giant earth bear carrying a bull on its shoulder, galloping rapidly toward the location of the baby dragon.
"A level 8 Earthshaker! We're done for."
Samantha was filled with despair.
It didn't believe that Garos could defeat the Earth Bear, and the bear's objective was clear: it was coming this way.
“Garos, my dear brother.”
"I apologize to you for my arrogance and ignorance all this time."
Samantha burst into tears, crying out, "I can't fly now, don't worry about me, just run away! The Earth Bear can't fly, it can't catch you."
Looking at Samantha, who was emotionally agitated, crying and wailing.
Garros pondered that this young dragon must have suffered a lot in the wilderness and had probably come to realize the cruelty of real life.
"Run! What are you standing there for?"
Samantha cried and urged them on.
at the same time.
First, it gave the red baby dragon a strange look, then the Earth Bear Mobel ignored it, accelerated and ran, finally sliding down its knees, leaving a long furrow in the soft, wet ground, and came to a steady stop in front of Garos.
"My lord, please enjoy your food."
The Earth Bear presented the bull it was carrying and said in a gruff voice.
Upon hearing this, Samantha's cries abruptly ceased, like a rooster whose throat had been choked.
“Mobel is my retinue, there is no need to fear.”
Galos's explanation was delayed by a few seconds, whether unintentionally or intentionally, it was unclear.
“Garos, my dear brother, thank you. I am willing to follow your command and orders from now on, just to follow under your wings.”
Samantha snapped out of her daze and lowered her head toward Garros.
Galos looked Samantha over a few times and said, "You made the right choice."
Survival in the wilderness is tough and fraught with danger, so having another young dragon to command is a good thing for Garos.
He was happy to take in any young dragon that was willing to obey his orders and follow him, but if it was disobedient, brought no benefit and only caused trouble for him, making him a babysitter, no matter who it was, Garos would not tolerate it.
"What have you been through lately? Tell me about it."
He asked.
Samantha didn't hide anything and recounted her painful experiences during this period.
After listening, Garus clicked his tongue, thinking to himself, "What a fool!"
No wonder the situation is so dire.
Given the strength of a red dragon, even a young one shouldn't have ended up like Samantha, being chased by a group of goblin cavalry and unable to even fly.
It turned out that its dragon wings had been torn off early on, leaving it with serious injuries.
"Even I don't dare to hover near the mine; I'll go around it if I see it from a distance."
"You are incredibly audacious."
The area is rich in resources, and the mines currently being excavated are located in the territory of various countries in the Lorthern Federation. The area is surrounded by troops and equipped with sophisticated alchemy equipment, making it a place that even the Iron Dragon Girl dares not provoke.
The most dangerous creatures in the wilderness are not ferocious beasts or monsters, but these garrison troops.
"I was too reckless. Something like this will never happen again."
Samantha still feels lingering fear when she thinks about it now.
It was thousands of meters in the air, and at a great distance, and it was almost killed. If it had been any closer, it would have certainly died.
At this moment.
Galos's gaze shifted slightly as he turned to look. In the sunlight, he noticed something faintly reflecting light in the hand of a goblin corpse.
