I am a wicked dragon, and you want me to fall into goodness?

Chapter 137 The Dragon's Property Was Coveted (3.6k)

The messenger rushed to the steps of the council hall and reported the tragic state of the western frontier region word by word.

The official who gathered the information made a quick assessment of the seriousness of the situation, reported it to his superiors, and then passed it down through the ranks until it finally reached Puse.

The enormous dragon, its eyes closed as if asleep, listened intently to the knight's explanation of the village's situation and the news of the dark elves.

He glanced down at the evolution value panel.

The meager increase of a few hundred points starkly contrasted with the number of villagers abducted and the desolate villages the knight spoke of.

This enraged Puse!

The fact that thousands of people were plundered only resulted in this meager gain shows that the Drow have not yet gone all out against the Starshine people.

Instead, they treated them as commodities to be slaughtered, dragging them to the Underdark to be enslaved.

This doesn't increase evolution points at all!!

Pusser felt that his farm was being coveted; he was putting in the investment but not getting any returns!

Well, although the investment wasn't much, the dragon's property—the dragon's property—was actually robbed by the drow elves!

Why don't you just take all 70+ evolution points I've accumulated over the years?

We finally added over 50 people to our population, and you just want it without even asking!

"If the people of Xinghui are killed by the enemy, it can still be considered a battle, where each side relies on its own abilities."

Pu Se's voice was not loud, but each word struck the hall: "To kidnap and enslave, to humiliate Xinghui's flesh and blood, is to touch my sore spot."

The pressure around him suddenly dropped, and an invisible aura spread out, causing the kneeling knights to instinctively hold their breath, their spines tingling with cold.

The knight was deeply shaken.

Previously, I only knew that His Highness Puse protected Xinghui, but I did not know that this protection would not tolerate the slightest humiliation of his people.

I'd rather die than bend my back.

Is this what His Highness expects of every citizen of Starshine?

This thought ignited in his heart like a spark, and he secretly resolved that, as a Star Knight, he would live up to this belief with his life.

I will not fail His Highness's trust, nor will I betray the people's faith.

Puser raised his hand, stopping the knight from getting up to volunteer for battle, and his gaze swept across the sky outside the hall.

A faint starlight began to surround him, a sign of awakening power. Power that had been dormant for years was quietly released at this moment.

"I will personally look into this matter."

In one sentence, the tone was set, and the huge weight on the knight's heart was lifted.

These knights knew that with the help of this enormous blue dragon prince, there was no situation they couldn't handle.

"There hasn't been any activity for several years; the area around Starfall City has been peaceful for far too long."

He muttered to himself, his voice carried by the wind and scattered in the morning breeze: "Since it's the reckless Zhuo Er who has come knocking on my door, then so be it."

Harvest some evolution points, stretch your muscles, and awaken his dormant power.

"Magic Mirror, tell me immediately the location of the most powerful Captain Oliver."

Puser raised its claws, and the magic mirror attached to the scales suddenly began to buzz.

"Great master, this humble magic mirror is pleased to serve you. I will immediately seek out the whereabouts of that red worm!"

The mirror surface churned with silver mist, and in no time a clear image of Commander Oliver condensed.

Pu Se glanced around and immediately spotted that damp, cold, and dark area.

Water dripped from the rock face, spider silk floated in the air, and it was more than a hundred meters below the ground.

Oliver knelt on the ground, leaning on his sword. His armor was torn open, and the knights around him were barely alive, huddled in a crevice in the rocks, barely holding on.

In the center of the field, Green, covered in golden scales, was locked in a fierce battle with a behemoth!

That thing is a spider-like spirit.

Its upper body resembled a drow, with silver hair, a white face, and scarlet compound eyes, while its lower body consisted of seven or eight black spider legs as thick as giant pythons, which scraped and crumbled on the rock wall.

Sticky spider silk was being spit out of its mouthparts, making it difficult for Green to spread his wings.

Green exhaled his golden breath.

The spider-like elf actually used its spider legs to withstand the attack, ignoring the charred remains, and slapped Green's side with its claw.

Several golden scales flew off on the spot. Green screeched in pain, turned his head and used his dragon horn to ram the spider's leg, breaking it off.

Blackish-green blood splattered all over the ground, and the stench was so strong that it seemed to waft into the magic mirror.

The dragon and the spider fought so fiercely that the entire dark stone hall shook, and rubble fell down in a flurry.

Pu Se looked at the scene, raised an eyebrow, and thought to himself that this Green was quite capable, but a bit reckless, going head-to-head with a spider elf.

"Things are getting interesting."

Puse clicked his tongue, his figure blurred, and his massive body flapped its wings and soared into the sky, heading straight for the western frontier area. His speed was so fast that he was left as a blur.

Green was hit by a spider-like elf's claw.

Blood beads seeped from the golden scales on its side as it rolled up, and in pain, it raised its head and let out a dragon roar that reverberated throughout the stone hall.

Golden-red dragon breath erupted with a roar, heading straight for the face of the spider-elf.

The Drow Spider Queen showed no fear in her crimson eyes. With her remaining seven legs, she pushed off the ground, and her massive body slid several feet across the stone ground.

The dragon flames slammed into the rock wall, blasting away fragments of rock mixed with poisonous mist that scattered across the sky, leaving a charred, blackened slag mark on the rock wall.

Taking advantage of the lingering effect of Green's breath, the spider's abdomen suddenly contracted, and dozens of silvery spider silks shot towards Green's wings like sharp arrows.

This is Green's most agile part at this moment, but also his Achilles' heel.

Seeing this, Green flapped its wings suddenly, and the strong wind generated by its wings swept away most of the spider silk, but a few sticky silver threads still clung to the wing membrane.

Even the slightest vibration would tear the wing membrane painfully, instantly reducing its flight maneuverability by more than half.

Seizing an opening, the spider-elf's thick spider legs swept fiercely towards Green's neck with a sharp, whistling sound. The bristles at the tips of its legs gleamed with a cold light, faintly tinged with a dark purple, clearly indicating that they were highly poisonous.

Enraged, Grimm abandoned all attempt to dodge, unleashing his thick dragon tail like a steel whip, which slammed into the side of the spider-like elf.

Blackish-green blood splattered as the guy staggered and crashed into the rock wall.

However, this spider-like elf was far more resilient than ordinary drow, and it regained its footing in an instant, emitting a sharp hiss from its mouthparts.

Its remaining spider legs frantically dug at the ground, and its body darted to Green's side like a ghost, its sharp claws digging into the soft scales under Green's belly.

Grimm, in pain, lowered his head and slammed his dragon claw down hard on the spider-like elf's head.

The spider-elf's forehead was scratched with a deep gash, but it still clung on tightly, its nails digging into Green's soft scales.

The dark purple venom seeped into the wound, and Green felt a tingling sensation in his lower abdomen, and his strength seemed to become somewhat sluggish.

Green was startled and abruptly retreated, simultaneously spitting out a concentrated ball of golden-red fire.

This dragon's breath was even more intense than before, carrying the power to incinerate everything, and went straight for the spider elf's abdomen. If it was hit, it would be severely injured even if it wasn't crippled.

Seeing this, the spider-like elf finally showed a hint of fear. It tried to dodge, but it was too late. It could only use its spider legs to protect itself as the dragon's breath crashed down.

The stench of burning flesh instantly filled the entire stone hall. Several spider legs were charred and curled up, and a large burn mark was burned onto their abdomens.

Oliver, leaning on his sword, tried to rush forward to help, but as soon as he stood up, he was choked by the poisonous fog and coughed violently.

The spider-elf staggered to its feet, supporting itself on its three remaining intact spider legs. Half of its spider abdomen was charred and rotten, and it forced out a sinister smile.

His scarlet eyes were fixed on Green: "Little dragon cub, I'll let you take half of those kidnapped humans back with you, how about it?"

'

As she spoke, her remaining spider legs quietly dug at the rocks and soil behind her, her fingertips subtly gripping a poisoned spider stinger, and her eyes concealed a clear calculation.

If we can delay for even a moment, allowing the toxins within the golden dragon's body to gradually spread, then even the strongest golden dragon will be unable to escape.

Green shook his head.

The tingling and itching under its belly was still throbbing, but it deliberately raised its paw to pat the wound on its side, showing no sign of weakness. Instead, it hummed softly twice.

She knew this spider-like elf was using the same old tricks, and said sarcastically, "You're just trying to stall for time. You think you can poison me with such a simple scheme?"

"You dare to show off your pathetic poison? It's completely useless against me."

It raised its eyes, mercilessly locking onto the spider-like spirit, and spewed scorching air from its dragon nostrils.

"You didn't enjoy breaking your spider leg and having to endure my breath, did you?"

The spider-like elf's expression changed drastically.

Green raised his neck again and deliberately shook his wings, which were entangled in spider silk. The wing membranes vibrated and a strong wind swept away the surrounding poisonous mist.

The spider-elf's eyes widened in surprise and disbelief as it stared at Green's effortless movements, momentarily stunned.

This venom is the Heart-Corroding Spider Venom of the Spider-Elf. Even a giant dragon would be paralyzed for half a day if it got into contact with it, so how could it be ineffective against this young golden dragon?

Unbeknownst to her, Green had already nibbled on some antidote moss when he chased them into the Underdark.

Although the toxins were not completely neutralized, they were suppressed. At this moment, the person was only dizzy and weak. Although the strength had been reduced, it was still considerable.

Seeing her hesitation, Green seized the moment when she was distracted, leaped up from the ground, and golden-red dragon flames surged in his mouth.

"Trying to stall me? Today I'll show you what happens when you try to take advantage of Starshine!"

The scorching dragon flames cascaded down like a waterfall, heading straight for the spider-like spirit.

She didn't have time to waste with this bastard. She'd deal with him first, then go rescue her captive people.

The spider-like elf realized something was wrong and roared as it tried to dodge.

Although the poison didn't knock out Green, her own injuries were too severe, and she was a beat too slow. The dragon flames swept across her spider body, scorching off another piece of flesh.

She screamed in pain, her scheme thwarted, and she quickly felt the urge to escape.

The spider-like elf was in excruciating pain from the dragon's flames, its remaining spider legs bracing against the stone ground.

This golden dragon wasn't poisoned at all; if it dragged on any longer, it would surely die!

With only two of its eight legs remaining, the spider could barely exert any force as it darted like a black shadow towards the secret passage deep within the stone hall.

That secret passage was narrow and winding, one of the many escape routes that Zhuo Er had prepared long ago.

"Trying to run?" Green roared.

She flapped her wings to give chase, but the spider silk on her wing membranes pulled painfully, and a sudden surge of weakness in her abdomen made her slow down for a moment.

The dark figure darted into the secret passage, and with a backhand flick, threw out a large clump of sticky black spider silk, which blocked the entrance to the passage.

The spider silk solidified instantly upon touching the rock wall, becoming harder than refined iron. Grimm slapped it with his claw, tearing it apart, and the spider-elf fled.

From the depths came the venomous screams of the spider-like elves, mixed with drow curses, drifting further and further away.

"You little brat! I will repay this debt a hundredfold!"

"The Spider Queen of the Underdark will not let you go! You will all eventually become nourishment for the spider's nest!"

Enraged, Green slammed his dragon tail against the rock wall, sending pebbles crashing down.

She shook her dizzy head, the tingling sensation in her lower abdomen growing stronger. She braced herself on the dragon claws and landed on the stone ground, panting heavily. She knew that chasing after him now would be futile.

There might be other drows in the secret passage, and besides, Oliver and the knights were still nearby, and he himself was injured, so he couldn't go in rashly.

Oliver, leaning on his sword, moved closer: "Lord Grin, your strength is beyond doubt, and all the people of Starshine will remember your kindness."

Green grunted, shook his heavy head, and scanned the stone hall with his golden eyes.

Those drow elves who were originally hiding in the shadows, seeing that the spider elves had disappeared, no longer dared to stay and fight.

They huddled together and slipped away cleanly through the dark crevices and side paths of the rock wall, not even bothering to drag away the corpses of their companions on the ground.

The presence of the drake was finally gone from the stone hall. Green, supporting himself with his dragon claws, caught his strength and forced himself to look up at Oliver.

"Oliver, don't waste time! Immediately take your men to find the kidnapped Starshine Citizens and retreat back to the ground. We can't stay here any longer."

"The spider-like spirits have run away, but they'll come back sooner or later. The ground is relatively safer."

"Your men are badly wounded. Take them up to rest first, I'll cover the rear."

Oliver and the knights rushed forward to help, shielding the weakened villager in their midst.

They picked up some clean water pouches that the drow had dropped and handed them to the kidnapped people, counting their numbers as they walked toward the passage outside the stone hall.

Until Oliver's figure completely disappeared at the entrance to the passage leading to the ground.

Green slowly turned around, his dragon wings slightly folded, and, enduring the discomfort in his body, followed slowly behind the group.
