Chapter 10: Chapter 10: The Mother of Dragons Has Escaped

However, this time when the arrow flew at high speed and hit Land’s scales, it was as if it struck iron, deflecting sharply to the side!

The arrow couldn’t penetrate Land’s scale armor at all!

Or rather, it merely left a small dent in one scale before bouncing off due to insufficient power!

“This level of defense, even a young Red Dragon might not have, right?”

The ranger couldn’t help but marvel, and in the next breath, Land had already reached him, with the massive body of the Giant Dragon crashing directly at him!

The ranger had no choice but to swiftly kick off, leaping several meters to the side to evade.

“Roar!!”

Land slammed his four limbs into the ground, carving two shallow grooves, and then turned to charge again.

As they approached again, the human man repeated his old trick, trying to dodge once more, but Land had anticipated it, immediately standing upright and taking a swipe at him with his paw!

Boom!!

After the thunderous sound, a dragon claw mark, as long as a human thumb, appeared on the ground.

The ranger narrowly dodged once again.

The opponent’s agility seemed to exceed Land’s expectations a bit.

But it’s not over yet!

Land’s two forelimbs moved like a bowstring, pounding back and forth at the human’s position as he advanced!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The ground roared continuously, with dragon claw marks appearing one after another.

This ranger was weaving left and right, dodging Land’s consecutive strikes just in time each time.

After more than a dozen such exchanges.

Looking a bit relieved, he said, “You monster dragon, your strength is astonishing, no less than some adult Stone Giants I’ve encountered.

But relying solely on strength can’t defeat a nimble ranger; you’re still too green! Let me teach you what real battle is!”

Boom!!!

The ground roared again, and after another miss, a red gleam flashed in Land’s eyes as he abruptly opened his mouth to let out a roar.

“Roar!!!!”

The roar of the Giant Dragon was like thunder, short and rapid, yet deafening.

Because of the short distance.

The ranger’s body stiffened slightly, giving Land the opportunity to swipe at him with his left claw!

But unexpectedly, the guy awoke at the crucial moment; with a rolling move, he dodged again.

But it wasn’t over yet!

With a flicker of ferocity in his eyes, Land gripped the ground tightly with his front claws, swiftly twisting his waist, his Dragon Tail sweeping out like a steel whip!

With a piercing whoosh, it seemed about to hit its mark.

But the ranger swiftly extended his right arm, flicking his index finger, and a white thread shot out at an astounding speed, hitting behind a tree, then exploding into a spider web, sticking to it.

Immediately after, the thread contracted, allowing the ranger to narrowly dodge Land’s strike again!

Whoosh!

Escaping the attack, the ranger performed a quick backflip, then vigilantly looked at Land:

“That was really close! If it weren’t for my improved Spider Web Skill, I might have died at the hands of you little dragon today!”

Land’s expression grew rather grim.

If his opponent were a warrior, he was certain he could easily crush them into a pancake!

But alas, this opponent was more slippery than an eel, refusing to engage him head-on.

But, no matter! Victory would still be his!

As a Giant Dragon, his stamina wasn’t something a mere human could compare to!

If he couldn’t catch him, then he’d wear him out!

Every jump, every dodge, every spell cast, it all took a toll on a human ranger!

Land wanted to see just how long this guy could hold out!

With a roar, Land regrouped and viciously rammed into the branch where the ranger stood!

Boom!!!

The tree, over ten meters tall with a half-meter diameter, broke with a crack, falling backward!

“I won’t give you any more chances to get close to me!”

The ranger whispered, agilely leaping four or five meters to land on another tree.

Seeing this, Land once again gathered speed and charged!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

He rampaged like a furious tank, crushing everything.

Everything in his path was as fragile as dust, ruthlessly destroyed!

The booms echoed through the forest as one tree after another was smashed, toppling one after the other.

The ranger, like an agile monkey, kept scrambling up and down, dodging Land’s attacks.

When the distance between trees was too far, he would use his improved Spider Web Skill to make leaps.

The sight made the two little dragons’ blood surge with excitement.

In their simple understanding, Land was truly mighty and imposing at this moment, fiercely suppressing the enemy.

This made them roar repeatedly, belittling the ranger in dragon language and cheering for Land.

After a while.

The ranger’s stamina and magic power were nearing exhaustion, as he started to gas deeply for breath, his forehead covered in sweat.

Seeing Land seemingly needing only a minute or two more to claim victory.

A loud, piercing roar from Mother of Dragons Saphis suddenly pierced the air:

“Damn adventurers! This time, you win!

But the mighty Black Dragon Saphis will not let this go unpunished! Just wait until I recover from my injuries and reach full maturity, I’ll break your limbs and preserve you in the swamp!

I will enjoy your bodies over six months!

Roar!!! Just you wait! Black Dragon Saphis does not fail!”

Then, the forest fell silent.

Land was dumbfounded, the two little dragons confused.

The ranger, in a rare moment, allowed a soft smile:

“It seems my companions have already won this war, though regrettably, that Black Dragon escaped!”

“But fortunately, we still have you!”

The ranger gave an unscrupulous smile toward the three little dragons.

The Little Black Dragon trembled in fear at the ranger’s words, petrified.

Xiao Female Dragon Fiona was enraged, cursing her mother’s incompetence in her heart.

Land likewise cursed his mother as a failure, believing that this bunch, truth be told, was no better than the White Dragons!

According to accounts in the Book of Monsters, the strength of a young Black Dragon was only at Level 9! Whereas the Red Dragon boasted Level 13!

The gap was exaggeratedly vast!

Even an adult Black Dragon couldn’t beat a young Red Dragon! Only in mature age could they barely suppress them!

Though many Black Dragons believed the human-composed Book of Monsters was fabricated, tarnishing their name…

At this moment, Land thought the humans got it perfectly right!

At least, his mother was certainly an unfailing weakling!

Yet, no matter how weak, she was still stronger than he was now!

The foes his Black Dragon mother couldn’t defeat, he naturally couldn’t even dream of defeating! If they came after them, wouldn’t he be doomed?

No way! He couldn’t let them catch up!

Land’s eyes scanned around, determination showing in his eyes.

He took a deep breath, his chest and abdomen beginning to glow with a brilliant red light.

Seeing this, the ranger grew extremely cautious, his whole body tensing up, as his task was just to stall the little dragons until reinforcements arrived!

“Roar!!”

With a dragon’s roar, Land opened his mouth, unleashing scorching flames.

The next ten meters ahead were fully engulfed in the fiery flow.

The ranger, with incredible speed, shot another improved Spider Web Skill, flying toward a tree ten meters behind!

Then he watched intently as the Monster Dragon in front shook its head, continuously spewing flames, igniting trees, the grass, engulfing everything in fire, which then spread to the sides!

The fire quickly spread!
