Silver Dragons are spawning in this dungeon!

However, thanks to Reis's kick, Shilo successfully created distance in the air.

At the same time, he gripped the regenerating stone slab between his claws, infused it with magic power to activate it, and a faint light flowed around it.

Shiloh's severely injured body began to repair itself, and in mid-air, Shiloh's neck, which had been cut in half, was completely repaired.

She landed on the ground with a thud, enduring the pain from the impact and the brief dizziness.

The dragon wing was attached to the broken wound, and the power of the regeneration spell erupted. The granulation tissue in the wound seemed to come alive, and half of the dragon blood flowed out and flowed directly back into the blood vessels.

The muscle fibers connected one by one, and Hilo not only felt the power of life during this regeneration technique.

It even carries a touch of retrospection; otherwise, relying solely on treatment would deplete one's own vitality.

The other two alchemists watched as Reis and the silver dragon fell from the sky.

They immediately maneuvered their jet-powered wings and surrounded Hilo, preparing to subdue him.

However, no one present, including Reis, noticed that the dragon wing, which had been broken off and hidden beneath him, moved slightly.

Thunderclap Body, activate!

Previously, Hilo had never unleashed his physical power, but now, by using Thunderclap Body, subtle electric currents stimulated his dragon wings to quickly restore his mobility.

The pain persists, even more so than when the fracture was first made, and the repair process is even more painful.

The Slime King has no sense of pain and its structure is not complex, making it extremely malleable, which is why it can exhibit such a super-fast regeneration effect.

The dragon's wings trembled slightly. Hilo, who had been lying motionless on the ground, suddenly appeared the moment the two alchemists approached.

A burst of electricity erupted from the ground, leaving a faint trace of current in the air, and Shiloh appeared behind the two of them.

The alchemist who was closest was grabbed by Hilo's jet-powered wings and torn apart.

Those that fell from the sky and were far away were hit by the icy dragon breath that Hilo had accumulated, and when they fell to the ground, they were smashed into pieces.

Without looking back, Hilo immediately increased his altitude. Just as he climbed more than twenty meters, a giant sword smashed past the spot where Hilo had just been standing.

In a fit of rage, Reiss flung his greatsword into the air.

If Hilo hadn't been worried about what kind of hidden tricks the greatsword might have up its sleeve, he would have wanted to catch it in mid-air. He had been eyeing that greatsword for a long time; it had at least three basic spells solidified on it.

However, for safety's sake, Hilo immediately distanced himself and chased after Novi in ​​the direction she had just left.

"Novi's gone, don't stay here."

Novi, who was hiding behind a nearby hill, awkwardly flapped her dragon wings and flew out.

She never expected that Shiloh had already discovered her.

As for why, Shiloh noticed something was wrong the moment Reese started his verbal attacks. Although he didn't notice Novi, Reese could.

When Novi turned back, Reis was no longer in a hurry to finish the battle quickly. If Shilo hadn't provoked Reis with her eyes, it would have been difficult for Shilo to find an opportunity to get close to Reis.

Thinking about this, Shiro became angrier and angrier, but there seemed to be nothing she could say. Novi was so adorably naive; she could have ensured her safety by running away on her own.

Yet she still had to run back, risking her own safety, not to mention that if Hilo failed, then Novi would definitely not be able to escape.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Shiloh decided she couldn't be angry like a coward, so she swung her dragon wings and headbutted Novi in ​​mid-air.

Novi knew it was she who almost ruined Hilo's plan.

He silently endured Shiro's headbutt, without saying a word, his spirits low.

Hilo originally wanted to say something to Novi, but seeing Novi's appearance, he couldn't say anything.

He sighed.

"It's alright. Don't be silly next time. Remember to run far away when I tell you to."

"What if I hadn't succeeded? What if we didn't have the Regeneration Stone Tablet? What if Reis hadn't been greedy..."

"You were dead just now."

Novi glanced furtively at Hilo, who was flying to her side, and saw that he wasn't so angry anymore.

He crept closer and rubbed against the neck that had just been nearly severed by the giant sword.

"Does it still hurt?"

When Novi saw Shiro rush forward and get slashed in the neck, she almost couldn't resist rushing out to fight Reese.

But she remembered that Shiloh had told her to stay rational, so she didn't rush out.

I've regained my senses, but I'm not completely rational.

The spot where Hilo was touched trembled slightly, a fear akin to being half a step away from death when one's neck is cut in half.

Hilo smiled and said, "It's alright now."

He turned his head away, not daring to look into Novi's eyes, hiding the fear in his own.

On the other side, when Reese saw that the cooked duck had really flown away, he tried to chase after it for a distance, but found that he couldn't catch up at all.

Enraged, he slammed his hands on the ground, sending dirt flying.

The two alchemists behind them had disappeared without a trace, failing to keep up with Reiss.

After flying for about a minute, Hilo felt the mark disappear and was finally out of Reiss's skill range.

Reese could no longer detect Shiloh and Novi's presence and had no choice but to return the way he came.

The two alchemists, who had remained in place, were chatting idly.

"What do we do now? The gold coins we were about to get have vanished! Sigh!"

Another alchemist chimed in.

"Yeah, I originally thought that this trip back to the city would allow me to get married and then I could retire from adventure and stop being an adventurer."

"Looks like I'll have to be an adventurer again..."

Neither of them noticed a dark figure over two meters tall rapidly approaching from behind, its length exceeding six meters.

Using the cover of the dense forest, he approached the two men from behind, who were still sighing and groaning, completely unaware of anything amiss.

A giant claw gripped one alchemist, while another alchemist was bitten in the waist by a gaping maw.

The alchemist who was being held was completely squeezed out of his lungs and his ribs were crushed, so he couldn't make a sound to call for help.

It dragged itself into the depths of the dense forest, making rustling sounds, as well as the sound of bones breaking as it chewed.

The sound gradually faded away before Reese arrived, only to find the two alchemists nowhere to be seen where he had fallen.

He assumed the two alchemists had gone back to the dungeon entrance on their own and weren't waiting for him.

He cursed under his breath and hurried toward the entrance to the dungeon.

Until Reis returned to the temporary camp at the entrance to the dungeon.

They immediately realized something was wrong; the two alchemists were gone.

They immediately ordered the adventurers to go out and search, but after searching everywhere, they not only failed to find the two missing alchemists, but also lost another thief.

The thieves, who were already silent, have now disappeared even more silently.

Reiss seemed to sense a great malice lurking in the dense forest, surging towards them.

A chill ran down my spine; the unknown is the most terrifying thing.

Only a preliminary assessment of the underground city was conducted, confirming its actual existence.

He immediately led his adventure team to quickly evacuate from the Koso Hills region and return to Redwater City on the border of the Casa Empire.

Chishui City is located on the banks of the Chishui River, hence its name.

Water flowing from the Corso Hills, carrying reddish silt, is deposited downstream.

A red river was formed, which some say is the result of a great battle 8000 years ago, in which the Copper Dragon King was slain in the Corso Hills.

The entire region was covered in crimson blood, staining the soil of the entire Koso Hills red.

Therefore, the seeping water appears reddish.

However, these are all legends and rumors, and have little credibility.

Chishui City is the closest city to the Koso Hills and has a population of hundreds of thousands.

It is also the only city in the vicinity with an adventurers' guild stationed there.

Reis led the remaining thirty-odd men and fled back to Chishui City in a sorry state.

They were found to be relatively lucky; some adventurer groups, even their leaders, perished in the Koso Hills.

Someone witnessed the creature that launched the attack on them.

It is a reptile covered in reddish scales.

It resembles a large lizard, but without horns or wings.

This was observed from a distance by a mage using their clairvoyant eyes.

Moreover, there seem to be quite a few of them, otherwise so many adventure groups wouldn't have encountered these creatures.

The losses were severe, and morale plummeted.

However, with the return of the Black Shark Adventure Team, rumors began to circulate among the adventurers.

They said they encountered a hybrid silver dragon in the Koso Hills, a fledgling that had just been born.

The adventurers, whose morale had plummeted, immediately regained their interest in the Koso Hills.

Adventurers continued to flock to the Koso Hills.

Of course, the dragons of the Dragon Federation on the other side weren't fools either.

Although the adventurers were not a regular army, they openly flocked to the territory that originally belonged to the dragons.

These are no ordinary adventurers; we must strike hard.

Many adventurous young dragons, with the tacit approval of the Dragon Federation, also headed towards the Koso Hills.

After years of recuperation, the Dragon Federation's dragon population, while not saturated, doesn't have much territory to allocate to the newly emerging dragons.

The site of the resurgent Copper Kingdom is a good place to go, especially for the Copper Dragons who are now living under someone else's roof.

Although the brass dragons were relatively friendly to them, and the brass dragon king treated them all equally, it was still not good to always be under the protection of other dragon races.

Therefore, many ambitious bronze dragons flocked this way, hoping to make a name for themselves.
