Chapter 321: The dragon is here!

Chapter 321: The dragon is here!

On the sixth round, everyone had incurred the wrath of the dragon after killing the dragon’s baby, causing the rookies to be killed or eliminated.

Back then, Shi Xiaobai was not present, so he still had the hope for a last-ditch effort.

After the raging dragon’s roar reverberated throughout the woods, there was silence as though it was developing an impending climate of terror.

When the rookies heard Shi Xiaobai that the dragon would be appearing, they were already prepared for battle. At this moment, they focused more and could even hear their own heartbeats.

Three seconds later, be it the sky or the forest, there was no signs of the dragon anywhere.

“Where’s the dragon?”

Someone asked curiously. They had all heard the furious dragon’s roar, but where was the dragon? Where was it?

Shi Xiaobai had already realized that the dragon could be invisible just like the monsters in the valley!

This made the issue rather thorny. At this moment, the dragon was probably rushing here. Without any way to know where the dragon would attack from, there was no way to save anyone in time.

However, Shi Xiaobai was one to never give up. Taking a deep breath, he observed his surroundings vigilantly.

Suddenly, Shi Xiaobai sensed a faint killing intent appearing about hundred meters away from the group!

Was this the dragon’s killing intent?

“Be careful!”

Shi Xiaobai was quick to react as he charged towards the dragon that was heading straight for them!

The dragon was able to mask its presence, but in its wrath, it could not hide the monstrous killing intent it exuded!

Shi Xiaobai could sense the existence of the killing intent. Charging towards the killing intent, he activated the power of his Sword Truth and slashed out with Kun Peng Sword Technique!

As the sword winds blasted, the forest in its trajectory was left in shambles. Trees toppled from the raging blade storm while leaf and branch shreds flew into the sky.

“Roar!”

A dragon’s roar filled with pain sounded!

Blots of blood burst in mid-air, as though a red flower bud was blooming in the sky.

“The dragon is invisible, kill it with all you got!”

Shi Xiaobai shouted to the stupefied rookies before charging straight at the injured dragon once again.

The dragon was much larger than the monsters in the valley, but its defense did not appear to be much stronger than them. The heavens have given it the ability to hide itself, but had deprived it of its defenses.

“Two Peng Grills!”

Shi Xiaobai quickly slashed twice at the blot of blood, forming golden-crimson ‘X’-shaped flames that swept into the sky!

“Boom!”

The flames exploded as a pained dragon’s roar resounded once again. The inferno did not immediately dissipate as it continued burning in the sky, moving around like a wisp of specter fire!

This was obviously not a floating specter fire, but the flames burning on the dragon’s body!

The blood and inferno revealed the dragon’s location. Snapping out of their daze, the rookies attacked with all their might!

“Kill!”

“Kill the dragon!”

Electric bolts, whips, shields, charms, sonic blasts, stones, sword beams, saber beams… All sorts of attacks struck the dragon in the sky!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

As though fireworks were exploding everywhere in the sky, smoke clouded the sky as flames roared while blots of blood bloomed. It was gorgeous, but it was also cold and cruel!

However, now was not the moment to show mercy. Knowing that the modus operandi of this kind of invisible monster was the biting off of heads and limbs, this was no longer a simple trial, but a life and death battle!

Shi Xiaobai slashed out once again, beating the dragon while it was down!

“Roar!”

An indignant dragon’s roar resounded. In mid-air, the blood and flames blooming in the air suddenly flew far into the distance!

The dragon had escaped!

And it escaped fucking fast!

Gradually, the blood and flames disappeared, and the aura filled with killing intent had completely dissipated.

A struggle flashed in Shi Xiaobai’s eyes, but he eventually chose not to chase the dragon.

It was difficult to get such a blessing in disguise. By angering the dragon, it had inadvertently revealed its location, allowing them to seriously injure it. Although chasing up to it might allow him to kill it, if something extraordinary happened again here that resulted in the failure of the mission, it wouldn’t be worth it.

A few rookies had tried chasing due to their unwillingness to give up, but the dragon’s speed was astounding. Even Shi Xiaobai could barely keep up with it, so it was needless to say that the rest would not have catched up. They had to return resentfully after chasing for a distance.

Shi Xiaobai gathered the rookies again, and having confirmed the man count, there were forty-nine people including him. There was not one less.

Shi Xiaobai lightly heaved a sigh of relief, but he felt heavier too.

This was because the Absolute Choice was not completed yet. It was unknown how far the choice of saving went.

Making choices was honestly an exhausting affair. However, Shi Xiaobai could not force himself to sit back and watch the rookies die. Although most of them were strangers to him, they had protected him previously while he was unconscious. They had given him their applause and kudos when he had revealed his dominance. They were worth saving.

In fact, as long as these people were not evil, and even if they were ordinary citizens, if one had the ability to make the choice of saving them after foreseeing that they would encounter danger, by choosing to stand by the side coldly, there was no reason or excuse that could be used to support such an act.

People who believed that saving strangers were goody two shoes were in fact people without much thought. If one had the ability to save but chose to sit idle, then how different were they from murderers?

Humans had a normal body temperature of thirty-seven degree Celsius. Blood was not cold when it flowed because humans are not cold-blooded animals. They are warm-blooded, righteous and kind… These things came by nature, but people would come up with all sorts of excuse to abandon them, but label the people who had preserved these things as goody two shoes. It was simply absurd.

If this was considered a goody two shoes, then Shi Xiaobai would find it a derogatory label of something honorable.

However, what Shi Xiaobai had to do next left him slightly confused. The rookies present were all cream of the crop, but for some reason, they appeared extremely frail during the Absolute Choice, giving him an illusion that a gentle breeze could kill them.

Hearing the rookies proposing to split up to find the dragon, Shi Xiaobai immediately felt a gloomy cloud cover his forehead. He said to everyone, “The reason why This King got everyone to evacuate the valley was because there were such invisible monsters throughout the valley. Now, these monsters might have come out into the forest. So it’s best that everyone gathers together and not run around!”

Now, it was somewhat more convincing telling the crowd that there were invisible monsters in the valley. There was no need to explain much because the dragon was a fact that had appeared in front of them.

After hearing what Shi Xiaobai had to say, the rookies immediately dismissed the idea of forming groups or going alone to find the dragon.

Shi Xiaobai heaved a sigh of relief. He had the nagging feeling that he was taking care of babies that could die at any time.

At this moment, Ka Xiaozi, who was quietly standing beside Shi Xiaobai, frowned slightly. She turned her head to look high into the sky. After a moment of pondering, a cold beam flashed in her eyes.

…

A gloomy cloud floated in the sky, and on it stood four monsters.

One of them wore a white mask and was dressed in aristocratic garb. It looked human, but it was a monster with a crimson tail.

One of them held dual blades and had dark green skin. It had a gigantic demonic head, a monster many times larger than a human.

One of them was completely black in color, a gigantic Nightmare Terror.

One of them was dark purple, a demonic beast with a lion’s head and a snake’s body.

The four monsters were watching the crowd in the forest from the cloud.

Suddenly, the dual-blade demon said in a deep voice, “Why are there only four? Didn’t I say to get at least seven?”

The white-masked aristocrat shrugged and said, “The fuckers on the seventh, eighth and ninth level are too aloof. I already lowered my status as an aristocrat by sending them a request, but they responded with a ‘get lost’, so what can I do?”

The dual-blade monster said coldly, “Back then, the allocation of the levels were done by the drawing of lots. Do they think that their status as Level Lords is higher because they are in the later levels? In terms of strength, they aren’t even match for the dog on the third level.”

The gigantic Nightmare Terror cursed, “To speak the truth, we aren’t any match for the dog on the third level either. Its strength is completely unscientific. As for that human that conquered it, it’s even more unscientific. What should be said? The reason why the both of you called us here is not to watch a show, right?”

The dual-blade demon said, “Chill, the show is just about to begin. However, we have encountered a problem now. We only have four of us, and we probably can’t beat that pixie.”

The lion-headed demonic beast said with a joke, “Are you kidding me? That pixie is only at the tenth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm. Any one of us can kill her easily, yet you say the four of us combined can’t beat her?”

The dual-blade demon chuckled, “What ignorance. That pixie may have sealed herself to the tenth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm, but her strength cannot be measured with realms. I’ve spent so much time in hell and have seen all kinds of mighty figures. I can grasp the difference in strength very well. The four of us combined can at best imprison her for less than twenty minutes, but we won’t be able to injure her.”

When the white-masked Aristocrat heard this, he asked, “Can she be imprisoned for more than ten minutes? Are you sure?”

The dual-blade demon said with a nod, “This level is the one I preside over after all. I have already set up a God Slaughtering Formation, and although it won’t kill the pixie, with the four of us powering the formation together, imprisoning her for more than ten minutes wouldn’t be a problem. However, none of us will be able to move during this period of time, so it’s useless.”

“No, it will be useful.”

The white-masked aristocrat said with a chuckle, “If she’s imprisoned for more than ten minutes, my Plan F can be implemented.

The dual blade demon asked, “Are you confident?”

The white-masked aristocrat said confidently, “Of course, aristocrats never do things without confidence. Believe me, I had plans, and have already done the preparations!”

The dual blade demon gave a satisfied nod, “Alright, then let’s implement it as soon as possible! Indeed, Aristocrat is the person to look up to in times of need.”

The white-masked aristocrat said with a laugh, “I love what you said. Then, shall we begin the show?”

The dual-blade demon nodded. The other two monsters looked each other in the eyes as they inexplicably had a sense of foreboding.

…

…

Shi Xiaobai obviously did not know of the four monsters hiding in the sky. He was fully absorbed with monitoring his surroundings.

The rookies were also braced for attack against invisible monsters.

Suddenly, there was a scream!

“Dragon! The dragon is there!”

When Shi Xiaobai heard this, his eyebrows pricked and he looked towards the scream but he saw the screaming rookie pointing towards him.

Behind him?

Shi Xiaobai hurriedly looked back. There was nothing behind him.

Where was the dragon?

At this moment, the rookies also began exclaiming loudly.

“Dragon!”

“The dragon is in our midst!”

“Kill the dragon!”

“…”

The rookies clamored and nervously raised their weapons.

Shi Xiaobai hurriedly looked around but he did not see anything. Where was the dragon? Why was everyone shouting? Could he be the only one who couldn’t see it?

Suddenly, Shi Xiaobai felt something strange. He calmed down and noticed that the rookies surrounding him had raised their weapons, but all their eyes were on him!

Their gazes were filled with hostility.

At this moment, Mozzie’s nervous voice was heard, “Sis Xiaozi, quickly move away from the dragon!”
