"Shit, that's a Demon Flood Dragon, and it's a Tier Eight one too! We're screwed!"
"The Demon Flood Dragon has a noble bloodline and commands the Demon Snake horde. There's no way we can save that girl now!"
"Damn it, what the hell is she doing here? Is she trying to get herself killed?"
"White Fox bro, let's get out of here, this place is way too dangerous!"
After seeing Nangong Siyao's situation, everyone from the Cheetah Hunting Team looked terrified and all started urging the Two-tailed White Fox to leave.
A rustling noise occurred all around them, followed by a wave of vicious, chilling stares from the grass, the ancient trees, burrows, and patches of shadow. Demon snakes—it was all demon snakes!
They flicked their scarlet tongues, and their razor-sharp fangs gleamed with a chilling light.
*The entire Cheetah Hunting Team shuddered when all those cold, venomous eyes locked onto them. Goosebumps ran down their arms.*
"Leave? You think you can just leave?"
The Demon Flood Dragon that was coiling around Nangong Siyao sneered, greedily sniffing at the scent on the girl. It couldn't figure out why, but there was something in this girl's scent that resonated with it from the deepest part of its genes.
"A bunch of nobodies dare to trespass in your Flood Dragon ancestor's territory? You're asking for death!"
The Demon Flood Dragon's gaze swept over everyone, pride radiating from its expression, the kind of confidence that could only come from deep within its bloodline. It believed it was born to rule.
At the Demon Flood Dragon's command, "Hiss hiss hiss!" "Hiss hiss hiss!" "Hiss hiss hiss!" Scarlet tongues shot out as Demon Snakes darted in from every direction, instantly surrounding the Two-tailed White Fox and the Cheetah Hunting Team in an impenetrable ring.
Tier Three, Tier Four, Tier Five, Tier Six, Tier Seven, Tier Eight!
Undead Pythons, Eye Demon Snakes, Five-Step Death Demon Snakes—dozens of different kinds!
The number reached a staggering two hundred!
"White Fox! We'll carve a path for you. You're an SSS-rank Summoned Beast, you can't die!"
The Black-striped Cheetah let out a furious roar, deciding to make one last desperate stand.
"That's right! Let's make this our glorious final battle!"
*The whole Cheetah Hunting Team resolved to cover White Fox's escape, but then, the Two-tailed White Fox spoke up, his eyes filled with contempt as he looked toward the distant Demon Flood Dragon, and said,*
"Flood Dragon? Noble bloodline? What a frog at the bottom of a well."
"Roar!" The Demon Flood Dragon was enraged. Its noble bloodline would not allow itself to be looked down on by a mere human. "Attack them, devour them alive!"
"Hiss hiss hiss!" "Hiss hiss hiss!" "Hiss hiss hiss!"
The Demon Snake horde went wild, each snake opening its foul maw, ready to strike.
*Xiao Ye, who had just exchanged a glance with Nangong Siyao, instantly channeled the Contractual Power of the SSS-ranked Five-Clawed Golden Dragon template.*
With a hum, two dazzling golden beams shone out from Nangong Siyao and White Fox, banishing the darkness and chilling air!
A supreme and profound aura flooded the space!
A high, clear dragon's roar rang out from the void. Nangong Siyao disappeared in an instant—and in the skies above, an Eastern Divine Dragon with golden, vertical-slit eyes appeared.
Rabbit eyes, deer antlers, cow mouth, camel head, tiger paws, eagle claws, fish scales, snake's body!
The Three-toed Golden Dragon hovered in midair, its whole body covered with golden scales, radiating a sacred brilliance!
"Flood Dragon, where did you get the nerve to call yourself Beast King!"
The Golden Dragon spoke, its deep, commanding voice booming like a bomb in the ears of every demon snake and every flood dragon.
A supreme, profound bloodline aura surged from the Golden Divine Dragon, flooding this entire area.
"Th-th-this, a dragon, that's a dragon!" The Tier Eight Demon Flood Dragon stared in total shock at the golden dragon circling in the sky.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! How could a Divine Dragon exist in this world!"
*That absolute bloodline suppression was suffocating the Demon Flood Dragon.*
Suddenly, the golden dragon's vertical pupils landed on it. The Demon Flood Dragon felt as if some terrifying existence had its eye on it. A deep, primal fear erupted from its very genes, and it shuddered from head to tail.
"Attack, get up there, devour it!" The Demon Flood Dragon raged at its own growing fear. *It was the Beast King's son, a flood dragon with noble blood in its veins!*
Not a single Demon Snake dared move. The entire horde had gone dead silent!
The supreme, overwhelming bloodline aura spilling from the golden dragon triggered nothing but pure fear in the hearts of the snakes, making even the bravest flinch!
"Roar hiss hiss hiss!" "Hiss hiss hiss, roar!"
The place exploded with disordered, terrified roars and hisses, every one of them proof of the terror striking the Demon Snake horde.
"Holy shit, that's insane!"
"Unreal, that's a Divine Dragon, an actual Divine Dragon!"
"Once the Divine Dragon appears, who could ever be its match!"
"That girl, she's a freak—her Summoned Beast is a Divine Dragon!"
"Divine Dragon: You do nothing, and the enemy still surrenders!"
"Demon Beast Group: Try to move? No way!"
*Everyone in the Cheetah Hunting Team was dumbstruck, staring blankly at that golden dragon circling above the ancient trees, their minds about to explode from the sheer shock.*
*Those golden scales shone with dazzling light, and that supreme bloodline aura made the Cheetah Hunting Team feel as though they were looking at the true King, an absolute, unquestionable sovereign!*
"Roar! You think you can trick me? I'll tear you apart myself!"
The Demon Flood Dragon felt like a fool—it forced down its anger and shot up toward the golden dragon in the sky, bursting forth with Tier Eight power.
"Screech!"
A majestic dragon roar erupted from the golden dragon's mouth, unleashing rings of air that blasted outward and shook the entire forest.
[Holy Golden Dragon's Might: Spiritual Suppression effect, cuts enemy stats by fifty percent, reigns supreme among its kind, and holds the power of sovereign bloodline]
With a hum, every Demon Snake present was hit with a mental blow, their stats slashed in half in an instant.
The Demon Flood Dragon, first to bear the brunt, lost all its ferocity in midair—it was suddenly just average.
And then—
With a thud, the Demon Flood Dragon crashed to the ground, its bloodline completely shackled by the holy dragon's dominance, leaving it utterly drained of strength.
"Thud thud thud!" "Thud thud thud!" "Thud thud thud!"
It was like raindrops pelting down—every Demon Snake that craned its neck upwards was flattened by a power like Mount Tai, pinned under the weight of that sacred might.
Their blood and life force felt frozen, held still within their bodies, not a spark of power left to use.
As the highest-tiered dragon, the Divine Dragon had a natural bloodline dominance over snakes and flood dragons. At this moment, the three-toed golden dragon looked down with an indifferent expression at the silent Demon Snake horde below, its eyes full of absolute majesty.
Tier Three, Tier Four, Tier Five, Tier Six, Tier Seven, Tier Eight! Undead Pythons, Eye Demon Snakes, Five-Step Death Demon Snakes—dozens of different kinds!
The Demon Snake horde, all dead silent!
"Badass!"
"Beast King, now that's a real Beast King!"
"If only this Divine Dragon was our captain!"
"Yeah, with the Divine Dragon and White Fox leading the team, we'd be unstoppable!"
"Hey, what the hell, I'm still the captain here! And you're already replacing me?"
"Sorry, Captain! Next time, we'll talk behind your back."
