Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Giant dragons lived long, were powerful, and avoided wars. Their only hobbies were collecting valuables and mating. However, they also had a strong desire for revenge, so very few creatures dared to mess with the giant dragon clan.

Therefore, it had been a long time since the giant dragon clan had been so angry.

“It seems that the world has forgotten the fearsome methods of the giant dragon clan after a long absence, and there are some cats and dogs who were foolish enough to take their chances. Today, let us help them remember what fear is!”

The dark gold dragon roared angrily in the air.

..

Lin Qi was now extremely afraid.

Even if the giant dragon clan was not known for their speed, flying was still faster than running on four legs.

“Dark King, do your best. If we are caught, we will die without a burial.”

The Dark King ran wildly into the mountains. They did not even dare to take the main road.

“I know, I know. Don’t pressure me, you… F*ck!”

Not far from them, a red dragon flew past quickly. They were so frightened that they stopped in their tracks and held their breaths.

They only heaved a sigh of relief when the dragon disappeared into the horizon.

They did not dare to stay and quickly changed directions to escape.

However, they did not notice that there was a flash of light on the dragon egg on Lin Qi’s back.

At the same time, the red giant dragon that had just flown by suddenly stopped.

“Found it!”

Then, it let out a roar to inform its companions nearby while rushing toward the position where Lin Qi had just been.

Lin Qi was stunned when he heard the dragon’s roar. He was still confused, but the Dark King suddenly sped up.

“What’s wrong?”

“F*ck, they’ve found us, they’re telling the others!”

Lin Qi broke out in a cold sweat. “How did they find us? Wait a minute, do you understand dragon speech?”

“I’ve lived for 100,000 years, what can’t I do?” Dark King did not forget to brag. “I don’t know how they found us either. Was it you… F*ck!”

A huge ball of fire flew straight at them. The Dark King subconsciously jumped to the side, avoiding the attack of the fireball.

The fireball exploded instantly, and the aftershock sent them flying. The vines on Lin Qi’s body broke under the high temperature, and the dragon egg rolled to the side.

The red dragon first glanced at Lin Qi, then looked at the Dark King and said angrily, “It’s you again! You were lucky I didn’t get to kill you last time. This time, you actually colluded with the humans to steal my dragon egg. You’re courting death!”

As soon as it finished speaking, another fireball was fired.

The Dark King gritted its teeth when it saw the fireball approaching.

“I’m going all out!”

It was unknown to Lin Qi what it was saying, but the Dark King’s entire body was flashing with black light. Its eyes gradually turned red, and its body instantly grew larger. Its entire body was rippling with muscles.

Then, the Dark King took a deep breath and suddenly opened its mouth wide. A fireball shot out aimed toward the one hurtling at them. After the two huge fireballs collided in the air, they instantly exploded.

The power of the collision of the two fireballs actually blew up the empty space nearby. The trees at the center of the explosion were also blown into pieces.

The giant dragon in the air was pushed back by the impact of the explosion. It finally stopped moving.

The giant red dragon flapped its wings and cleared the dust nearby. Only then did it realize that the Dark King and Lin Qi had disappeared. Even the dragon egg had been taken away.

“B*stard!”

At that moment, the other dragons had finally rushed over when they heard the sound. Among them was the dark gold dragon.

“What’s going on?”

“It’s that undead dog and a human.”

The dark gold dragon was a little solemn when it heard that. “Dealing with that dog is not a simple matter. Moreover, I feel that the dog is somewhat familiar.”

“Let’s not bother about it for now. Chase after it! We definitely can’t let them escape too easily!”

..

After the Dark King unleashed its power, it hurriedly ran away with Lin Qi. At that time, it had returned to its original appearance.

Lin Qi, on the other hand, had an excited look on his face. “Dark King, you’re so powerful!”

Earlier, the Dark King’s transformation and the explosion had really shocked Lin Qi.

“Hmph, I told you this king was very powerful.”

“Then hurry up and transform again. Run faster and we won’t have to worry about them anymore.”

“You’re thinking too much. I can’t use this skill casually. If I hadn’t eaten a dragon egg just now, I wouldn’t have even been able to move by now.”

“Then what should we do?”

“There’s no other way… Why don’t you give me your dragon egg to eat?”

“… I’d like to but can you open it? I don’t have a dragon stone on me right now.”

“That’s true. Then we’ll take it one step at a time. However, they shouldn’t be able to find us, right? We’ve already run so far.”

As soon as it finished speaking, the sound of something whizzing through the air could be heard from behind him.

“B*stard, put down the dragon egg!” The dark gold dragon threatened.

“Alright, I’ll hand it over. Don’t chase us anymore!” Dark King shouted without even turning its head.

“You’re delusional. You ate the dragon egg and still want to escape unscathed!”

“Then why shouldn’t I just run? Is it because you’ve got a big head?”

Dark King knew how important the dragon egg was to the giant dragon clan. If it was just stealing the egg, there might be some room for leeway. Unfortunately, it had already eaten one, and the giant dragons would not rest until it was dead.

“You’re courting death!” The dark gold dragon spat a fireball at them.

The fireball was incomparably huge, twice the size of the red dragon’s earlier.

Dark King hurriedly dodged the fireball’s attack and did not forget to taunt.

“Haha, the dragon egg was really delicious. In the name of the Dark King, I dub the dragon egg the most delicious egg in the world. Hahahahaha!”

That taunt was like pouring gasoline on a fire, instantly provoking the anger of all the giant dragons.

One after another, fireballs flew toward them. The Dark King dodged left and right. Several times, it was almost hit by the explosions.

However, the fireballs became more and more concentrated, and the Dark King’s stamina was decreasing.

Just when Lin Qi lost all hope, the system’s notification rang in his mind.

[ Ding! System upgrade completed. The current level is 4. Unlocked: Magic Recovery Gumbo, Rush Candy, Memory Wholemeal Bread. ]

[ Ding! You have been rewarded the Upgrade Gift Bag! ]

Lin Qi was pleasantly surprised. He was saved!

At that time, Lin Qi just happened to find that there was a cliff in front of him, and there was a sea on the other side.

He quickly put the dragon egg into the system storage and asked the Dark King to give him a drop of its blood essence. Although it was puzzled, it still bit the tip of its tongue and gave Lin Qi a drop of its blood essence.

After the Dark King lost the blood essence, its speed increased.

Lin Qi took out the Imitation Fruit. It was pure white. After the drop of blood essence, it gradually turned red and there was a faint flame burning in the center.

He swallowed the fruit in one gulp. His muscles bulged, his skin turned darker, and his eyes were red. He looked like a walking Dark King.

At that moment, they ran to the cliff. Lin Qi shouted, “Jump!”
