dragon?

Haiwen was slightly startled, then he couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

Ever since studying the "Dragon Blood Codex", Haven has always wanted to see real dragon blood, but the weakest member of the dragon clan is at least a level seven monster, and its strength is so strong that the entire Wushan Town is no match for it.

But now, Hogg, the patriarch of the Baruch family, has made a breakthrough, and Haven boasts that he also has a strength of more than level seven.

If the dragon that Xiao Linlei mentioned is not of a high level, then maybe I will have a chance to see real dragon blood!

Without hesitation, Haiwen immediately stood up and asked Xiao Linlei to take him to see the dragon.

Soon, two eight-year-old children appeared in the open space east of Wushan Town.

At this time, the children of Wushan Town were doing morning exercises. More than 200 children and teenagers aged six to sixteen stood in the open space, hiding behind the captain of the guard, Hillman, and others, looking at the source of the vibration in front of them with shocked faces.

It was an extremely huge ground dragon, with a body nearly two stories high and at least thirty meters from head to tail.

The huge sharp teeth like swords opened and closed slightly, and white smoke spurted out from between the teeth, emitting a pungent smell of sulfur. On the head wrapped in fiery red scales, two huge eyeballs the size of lanterns turned around, emitting a cold red light, and glanced coldly at the hundreds of teenagers in the open space as if looking at prey.

All the children were frightened by the dragon's eyes and stood still.

“So big…”

Xiao Linlei opened his eyes wide and looked at the fiery red terrain dragon in shock.

As an eight-year-old child, the largest thing he had ever seen was the warhorse of the town guard.

The horses were at least 1.6 meters tall at the shoulder, and their heads were over 2 meters tall. In Linley’s eyes, they were already huge beasts.

But even such a tall and powerful horse could be swallowed whole by the dragon with just one mouth.

"It's a level 7 magical beast, the Velociraptor!"

Haiwen stared at the dragon with a piercing gaze and explained to Linley in a low voice, “A velociraptor is a terrestrial dragon without wings. Its strength is at the top level among the middle and lower dragon species. Any velociraptor, even if it does nothing, can become a level 7 magical beast as soon as it reaches adulthood!”

"When they grow up, velociraptors not only have amazing defensive power from their scales, but they are also naturally gifted with fire magic. Among ground dragons, they are also considered to be quite good at fighting."

"If the kingdom's ordinary army were to attack a velociraptor like this, even if there were a thousand-man army, it would be wiped out. Only high-level warriors and magicians could work together to break through its scale armor defense and truly hurt it!"

“…So strong?”

Xiao Linlei's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, even you are no match for him?"

Haiwen shook his head: "I don't know. I won't know until I try... But compared to this velociraptor, I am more concerned about the purple-robed man sitting on the dragon's back. If I'm not mistaken, he should be a magician!"

"Magician..."

Linley stared blankly at the figure on the velociraptor’s back, his expression filled with longing.

At the same time, Hillman, the captain of the Wushan Town Guard, suppressed his fear and walked forward, stopped beside the velociraptor, and bowed respectfully to the purple-robed figure sitting on the back of the velociraptor.

"Dear magician, this is Wushan Town under the jurisdiction of the Fenlai Kingdom. I am the captain of the guard team under the command of the Lord of Wushan Town. I wonder if there is anything I can do for you..."

"Wushan Town, is this Wushan Town?"

A cold voice came from the back of the velociraptor.

Hillman pursed his lips and said respectfully, “Yes.”

The purple-robed magician raised his head and sat on the dragon’s back, looking down at Hillman from above. He said calmly, “Let me ask you a question. Has a seven-member mercenary team passed through Wushan Town in the past two days?”

“…”

Hillman’s pupils shrank, and he immediately couldn’t help but struggle.

At this moment, a familiar cry came from the many young men behind him.

Hillman was startled and turned his head quickly. He saw Haven standing beside Linley, his body trembling. Although his face was terrified, his eyes remained calm. He even nodded slightly when Linley looked over.

Seeing this scene, Hillman was slightly startled. He then gritted his teeth, turned around, and whispered the news about the mercenary team to the other party.

Although the mercenary team spent a lot of gold coins in Wushan Town, it was a fair transaction in which both money and goods were cleared, and Wushan Town had no obligation to conceal their whereabouts.

What's more, this purple-robed magician who tamed the velociraptor is likely to be a level seven or even eight.

Even if such a powerful magician destroyed the entire Wushan Town on a whim, the Fenlai Kingdom would not be able to hold him accountable.

Taking this into consideration, Haven made a decision immediately and suggested that Hillman should hand over the whereabouts of the mercenary team to the other party.

The result was just as he expected.

"Very good, you made the wisest choice."

After saying this, the purple-robed magician ignored Hillman and rode his velociraptor into Wushan Town.

Hillman stood there hesitating for a moment, but finally gritted his teeth and chased after him.

"Uncle Hillman!"

Linley cried out in surprise, and then quickly pushed away the trembling Haiwen, and said anxiously, “Uncle, what should we do? That guy has entered Wushan Town on a dragon, and Uncle Hillman has also caught up with him. What should we do…”

Hai Wen said without hesitation: "Call my cousin, and let's go take a look."

Linley nodded repeatedly: “Well, I’ll go call my dad right now!”

"No need, I'm already here."

Hogg's figure walked up from behind the two of them. Looking at the huge figure leaving, he thought to himself, "A level 7 monster and a magician who is at least level 7... Can I be their opponent now?"

…

…

Not long after, a loud noise was heard in the center of Wushan Town.

Hogg, Linley, and Haven rushed over, only to see that the purple-robed magician riding on a velociraptor had already started fighting with the group of mercenaries.

This seven-man mercenary team is quite powerful, with four warriors, two magicians and one archer.

The leader of the team was a burly man with messy red hair. He rode a level 5 bull-shaped monster. The aura emanating from him was several times stronger than Hillman's. He looked like a level 7 warrior.

"A mercenary team led by a level 7 warrior and a magician riding a level 7 beast, they seem to be evenly matched..."

On the rooftop next to the tavern, Hogg looked at the square ahead and whispered.

Haiwen shook his head: "It's not an even match. The magician is much stronger than the warrior on the opposite side. I can conclude that he is at least an eighth-level magician or even higher."

"……What?"

Hogg's pupils shrank, and he began to re-evaluate the fighting strength of both sides.

Lin Lei, who was standing next to him, tightly grasped Haven's arm and couldn't help asking, "Why are they arguing?"

Haven glanced at him and whispered, "The magician is looking for a precious magic gem called the Depero Shadow Diamond, and this magic gem is in the hands of this seven-member mercenary team."

"The magician initially planned to buy the gem with 100,000 gold coins, but the other party refused, saying that it was worth at least 7 million gold coins."

“Seven million gold coins?!” Xiao Linlei couldn’t help but exclaim.

Hogg next to him couldn't help but open his eyes wide and looked at the battlefield with a strange look.

After a moment, Hogg retracted his gaze and shook his head, saying, "He wanted to buy a precious magic gem worth 7 million gold coins with just 100,000 gold coins. No wonder the two sides are at odds..."

Linley couldn’t help but complain, “Why doesn’t he just go and rob?”

Hai Wen curled his lips and said, "Is it possible that he is robbing now?"

"roar--"

The huge velociraptor opened its bloody mouth and spewed out a ball of blazing flames.

The mercenaries on the opposite side knew that the battle had begun and quickly moved.

The four warriors shouted loudly, and various fighting spirit shields rose from their bodies. They rushed forward while bearing the flames, and fought closely with the fiery red velociraptor with weapons in hand, while buying time for the archers behind them and the two magicians who were chanting in a low voice.

I have to say that this mercenary team is really powerful to be able to obtain such precious magic gems.

They cooperate well with each other and know how to cooperate and restrain each other without communicating before making a move.

Under their tacit attack, even the powerful level 7 monster Velociraptor was unable to do anything to them for a while.

But unfortunately, the velociraptor is only an apparent threat; the real murderous intent lurks on the velociraptor's back!

Haven stared at the magician's lips under his purple robe, as if he was reading the spell he was silently reciting through lip reading.

"Eighth level fire magic - Fire Snake Dance!"

The mysterious magician's cold voice suddenly sounded.

Seven fire snakes, each dozens of meters long, rolled out from his body and flew in all directions.

Seeing those lifelike and extremely thick fire snakes, the seven mercenaries' faces changed drastically and they turned around to flee.

But unfortunately, their escape speed was far slower than the flying speed of the fire snake.

In just a few moments, seven fire snakes passed by them and danced around them in mid-air.

Everything that was swallowed by the fire snake, whether it was the flesh and blood of the mercenaries or the stone bricks on the ground of the central square of Wushan Town, melted and burned under the scorching heat.

The surrounding houses were also affected by the fire snake and burned violently.

For a moment, flames shot up into the sky in Wushan Town, and thousands of townspeople were evacuated to open spaces, staring at the unprovoked disaster in despair.

"hateful……"

Hogg clenched his fists tightly, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his dark eyes.

At this moment, Hai Wen suddenly grabbed the corner of his clothes and shook his head, saying, "We can't do it here."

Hogg was slightly startled, then he reacted and silently loosened his hand.

Soon, the seven mercenaries were burned to ashes by the fire snakes. The purple-robed magician jumped off the back of the velociraptor, raised his hand, and took out a purple diamond as brilliant as a dream from the ashes of the red-haired strong man.

"Hahaha, I finally found you!"

"With this Depero Shadow Diamond, my strength will be further improved!"

"Hemans, I'll see how you can fight me this time!"

The purple-robed magician laughed heartily as if no one was around. Hillman and the townspeople just stood by and watched, not even daring to step forward to put out the fire, for fear of arousing the magician's wrath.

This is the Magnolia Continent, where the strong have everything and the weak have nothing.

Linley, who was only eight years old, clenched his fists as he watched this scene.

Haiwen next to him lowered his head slightly and muttered something in a low voice.

The next second, a fire snake as slender as an earthworm appeared in his palm, and then disappeared in an instant under Haven's strange gaze.
