Mr. Dragon Knight, the dragon girls are chasing you!

Luo Ye quickly calculated the wind direction in his mind and determined the optimal route for a dash attack.

The next second, he pushed off the ground with his feet and, using the shade of the trees in the forest as cover, burst out from behind the giant rock at high speed.

The Ironback Rhinoceros on the edge of the swamp instantly became alert and raised its head, exhaling murky white breath from its nostrils. Its thick hooves frantically dug into the wet mud, charging straight ahead with heavy earth magic, causing the ground to tremble and scatter rocks.

Just as the rhinoceros horn was about to strike him, Luo Ye used his waist and abdomen to his fullest extent to slide to the side, barely avoiding the fatal impact. With a flick of his wrist, the enchanted spear pierced the gap between the rhinoceros's jaw carapace and its soft ribs at an extremely tricky angle.

The dark gold dragon power lurking at the tip of the spear exploded violently in an instant, penetrating flesh and muscle, and directly shattering the vital meridians of the throat.

The massive rhinoceros maintained its charging momentum and slid forward several meters, its limbs twitching twice, its eyes losing all life, before finally collapsing to the ground, motionless.

Experience points surged in, a warm current washed over my limbs, and I was still a little short of reaching LV16.

Luo Ye steadied his wrist and drew his gun, deftly flicking off the warm beast blood that stained the gun. With practiced and swift movements, he crouched down, extracted the demon beast's core, and stored it in his waist pouch for later use.

For the next seven days, he was like a wound-up killing machine. On the first day, he traveled around the forest and killed seventeen Ironback Boars and twelve Pack Shadow Wolves, pushing his level from LV15 to LV16. He became more and more adept at controlling the power of dragons.

The next day, I ventured deep into the stone forest and provoked the entire group of LV25 rock lizards. After a full hour of fighting, I sustained three scratches all over my body, but I wiped out the lizards and broke through to LV17.

On the fifth day, they tracked down a solitary LV30 Shadow Panther. Without relying on Eluvia's Dragon Breath, they achieved a decisive kill solely through their own combat awareness and spear skills, thus leveling up to LV18.

After seven days and nights of relentless battle in the forest, Luo Ye's level soared from the initial LV15 to LV18, and his physical base combat strength, the speed of his dragon power circulation, his ability to adapt to the situation, and his overall combat power doubled.

That's far from enough.

Luo Ye stood atop the highest viewing cliff in the valley, the evening breeze causing his clothes to flutter as he looked down at the endless, dark and deep forest below, feeling the surging dragon power within him.

He could sense that he was very close to the tipping point of the next qualitative change—just one more level up and he would be able to unlock new professional skills.

He was just wondering whether he should venture deeper into the area tomorrow when a small, silvery-white dragon flew over, wobbling and unsteady.

The little dragon was only slightly larger than a wildcat, with wings so thin they were translucent. Its flight was unsteady, like it was drunk, yet it moved with absurd ease when passing through the Eternal Night Barrier.

The dark purple barrier that had left Luo Ye helpless was like a layer of mist to it; it passed through it easily without even triggering an alarm.

The little dragon flew to Luo Ye and hovered for two seconds, holding a silver-white letter in its mouth. It carefully placed the letter into Luo Ye's outstretched palm, then nudged his fingers with its nose, as if to say, "Look, look."

After doing all this, it turned to leave, flapped its wings twice and then stopped, as if it remembered that there was still some task to be completed. So it flew back and squatted on the rock next to it, tilting its head and waiting expectantly for Luo Ye to read the letter.

Luo Ye looked at the letter. The letter was silvery-white, carrying a faint scent of moonlight and flowers, and the handwriting on it was elegant and refined:

He unfolded it gently.

"Mr. Dragon Knight:"

"We recently hunted a Moonshadow Deer on the back mountain of Silvermoon Peak; its meat is much better than rabbit. I'd like to treat you to roasted meat; the charcoal is ready. Want to come?"

"—Serafina."

Luo Ye finished reading the letter, and his lips twitched.

Eating barbecue? My meat is more like it.

He simply folded the letter into quarters and shook it at the little silver dragon: "Go back and tell your Dragon King that although he appreciates the offer, I won't be going to eat the barbecue."

The little silver dragon tilted its head, clearly not understanding.

"I said, I'm not going." Luo Ye emphasized, stuffing the letter back into the little dragon's mouth. "Take it back and say that Mr. Dragon Knight is busy with cultivation and has no time to attend the banquet."

Little Silver Dragon did not answer the message.

It stared at Luo Ye for two seconds, then suddenly opened its mouth, revealing two rows of tiny baby teeth, and let out a low growl from its throat—although the growl was childish and had almost no deterrent effect, it certainly made its stance clear.

Luo Ye raised an eyebrow: "Are you threatening me?"

The little silver dragon retracted its teeth and began to dance wildly.

Its movements were very exaggerated. Its two front paws swished in the air, its wings opened and closed as if keeping time, its tail tip pointed to the sky and then to the ground, its body twisted and turned, and its four paws stomped on the rocks in turn, just like a cat whose tail had been stepped on and was doing a frantic dance.

After looking at it for a long time, Luo Ye finally pieced together a few key pieces of information from the tangled mess of gestures: The Dragon King had ordered that he must go.

The little silver dragon stopped to catch its breath, clearly having exhausted a lot of energy during the performance.

Luo Ye looked down at the small, silvery-white thing in front of him and chuckled, "You're so tiny, you don't even reach my knees, and you think you can carry me through the seal of the Eternal Night Dragon Clan? You'll probably be bounced back before you even get over that purple barrier."

Upon hearing this, the little silver dragon bristled for a moment, then calmed down.

The next second, the silvery-white body swelled from knee height to nearly two meters, its wing membranes expanded from a thin layer into wide and powerful silver wings, and its originally obedient squatting posture transformed into a predator crouching down to gather strength.

When the halo dissipated, what was squatting in front of Luo Ye was a silver dragon that was nearly two meters tall.

Then, the silver dragon looked down at him, its silver vertical pupils reflecting his stunned face, and then grinned, revealing a rather human-like, slightly smug smile.

The next instant, Luo Ye only felt a flash of silver light before his eyes, and then his collar was precisely bitten.

The force was just right, neither choking his neck nor tearing his clothes, leaving him suspended in mid-air like a cub being held by the scruff of his neck.

Luo Ye glanced down at the rapidly receding valley forest beneath his feet, then looked up at the two dragon wings gleaming silver in the moonlight above his head. After a two-second silence, he muttered, "...Isn't your Silver Dragon Clan's hospitality a little too thorough?"

The enlarged silver dragon let out a muffled chuckle, flapped its wings to accelerate, and flew towards the moonlit mountain peak at the edge of the distant sea of ​​clouds.

The night wind chilled Luo Ye to the bone. He was being held by the back of his collar and suspended in mid-air, unable to do anything but watch the outline of the Eternal Night Dragon's Nest below grow smaller and smaller, farther and farther away, until it finally disappeared completely into the night.

Meanwhile, on the Blackrock Guardian Platform of the Night Dragon's Nest, Salta was fast asleep.

He lay sprawled out, his tail dangling from the edge of the table, occasionally smacking his lips in his sleep, the tip of his tail twitching as if he were dreaming of something delicious.

He was unaware that there was another silver dragon next door, and even less aware that the human he was supposed to guard had already been carried away.

As Silver Moon Peak drew closer, the white jade steps gleamed with a warm luster under the moonlight.

Serafina stood at the top of the stone steps, the evening breeze lifting her long silver hair and the hem of her robe. She tilted her head slightly, watching the silver dragon land steadily, open its mouth, and place Luo Ye safely at the bottom of the steps.

Luo Ye stood there, his collar still wrinkled from being bitten, his hair disheveled by the night wind, looking both disheveled and helpless. He looked up and met Serafina's smiling eyes.

PS: Eats very quickly, never dawdles, while the poor little black dragon king is still in seclusion.
