Dragon Tamer

Chapter 435: Chapter 437 Waiting for a Long Time

The Refining Ash Black Dragon arrived in front of Xing Kun and stomped on his back with a claw, breaking his spine!

All these fancy tricks and transformations, why didn’t you just turn into a cockroach and crawl out from under my feet, Black Dragon scoffed.

Big Black Tooth, looking fierce and evil, brought its head close to Xing Kun’s face.

Xing Kun’s face twisted in pain as he tried to struggle, only to realize he barely had any strength left in his body.

The dragon that had appeared in the sky earlier, he hadn’t even gotten a clear look at its shadow before being beaten into this state.

“People like you probably don’t even need to be reborn,” Zhu Minglang said as he walked up to Xing Kun, looking down at him with the cold indifference one would have for livestock.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Big Black Tooth opened its mouth wide, and a stream of black, scalding Dragon Flame sprayed out directly onto Xing Kun’s face.

The Black Dragon Flame rapidly turned Xing Kun’s face into a skeleton, and yet, he did not die instantly. The black flame quickly consumed his body too. Pinned down by the Refining Ash Black Dragon, Xing Kun could not escape, forced to endure the terrible torment of the fierce flames.

Xing Kun turned into ash, and when the Refining Ash Black Dragon lifted its claw, that black skeleton completely fell apart.

“A damn Blood Demon with only this much skill dares to posture in front of us, pah!” Luo Shaoyan kicked at Xing Kun’s skeletal remains, saying disdainfully.

“Then why did you hide behind Zhu Minglang just like I did earlier?” Little Queen Jingyun retorted.

“Such a minor character; Zhu Minglang can handle it alone. There’s no need for Luo Shaoyan to step in,” Luo Shaoyan boasted with pride.

“Go take a look in the mine, there should be a convict hiding in there,” Zhu Minglang suggested.

“Together, we’re a team,” Luo Shaoyan said.

“My dragon is hungry.”

Luo Shaoyan wore a bitter expression, while Little Queen Jingyun cast a skeptical look his way.

Not wanting to be looked down upon, Luo Shaoyan eventually stepped into the mine.

Indeed, there was a convict hiding inside, but by the time Luo Shaoyan found him, he was already dead.

For some reason, the insect eggs had hatched prematurely, and the convict had been eaten alive by those terrifying evil insects, his innards devoured. Luo Shaoyan removed the convict’s Iron Ring of the Convicts, thus counting it as having hunted a target.

…

Leaving the mining site, Zhu Minglang, Luo Shaoyan, and Jingyun continued deeper into the mountains.

Initially, the Yellow Beast Dog was very diligent, catching the scent of many convicts for the three of them. These convicts were not particularly strong, so even someone like Luo Shaoyan could easily deal with them.

But gradually, the Yellow Beast Dog started to slack off. It went a long time without sniffing any sign of convict or Demon Lords, barking madly, then running wildly, only to find nothing.

Zhu Minglang started to get a headache. With the current number of Hunting Iron Rings they had, it was nearly impossible to stand out in this hunting festival, and he wouldn’t be able to get the Essence Blood of the Evil Dragon.

“Woof woof woof!!!!!!”

The Yellow Beast Dog barked again, this time with a loud, determined bark that seemed to carry the firmness of a faithful and good dog.

“If you lead us to another desolate place again, I’ll roast you and feed you to my Fierce Dragon!” Luo Shaoyan threatened the Yellow Beast Dog.

The Yellow Beast Dog ran ahead, with the three following behind, half-doubtful, half-trusting.

Zhu Minglang didn’t really have much hope for the guide dog provided for free by the event organizers, but since it seemed to have discovered something, he decided to trust it one more time, based on its fairly decent past performance.

This time, they traveled a long distance. The Yellow Beast Dog seemed to know the exact location of the convict, hardly stopping at all, and headed straight for the top of a mountain.

“`

Having ascended to the mountain peak, the spacious summit was littered with many oddly shaped gray limestone rocks, scattered messily across the top like clusters of vegetation.

“Woof woof woof!!!!”

The Yellow Beast Dog barked even more fiercely, as if a large group of prey were hiding within the mountaintop.

Luo Shaoyan walked in front, feeling that this time the Yellow Beast Dog must have made a significant discovery.

“Be careful,” Zhu Minglang called from behind, following at an unhurried pace.

“No worries, if we aren’t afraid of the Monarch Level Strength Blood Demon Xing Kun, why would we fear some petty thieves?” Luo Shaoyan said.

Passing through a patch of rocky forest, the Yellow Beast Dog suddenly disappeared, leaving Luo Shaoyan standing amidst the rugged rock forest, unsure of which way to go.

As he stood bewildered, a vicious Iron Whip suddenly lashed out from behind a rock, striking Luo Shaoyan’s chest heavily.

The power of the Iron Whip sent Luo Shaoyan flying off the back of the Fierce Dragon, crashing into a spike-shaped rock and coughing up blood violently.

“There’s… there’s an ambush, don’t come in!!” Luo Shaoyan shouted while vomiting blood, trying hard to warn the others.

No sooner had he spoken than a whip fiercely flew in, striking Luo Shaoyan harshly across the face, rendering him speechless.

Luo Shaoyan slumped on the ground, his mouth full of blood, his eyes filled with immense anger as he stared at the person holding the whip.

The person with the whip was none other than Yan He, who approached Luo Shaoyan with a sinister laugh that resembled the cawing of a crow, “How do you like the taste of my whip?”

Luo Shaoyan didn’t answer.

His gaze fell on the Yellow Beast Dog standing beside Yan He.

The Yellow Beast Dog had deliberately led them here!

This disgusting, treacherous dog, Luo Shaoyan would have stewed it if he had known it was up to no good!

Luo Shaoyan had been quite cautious in anticipating Yan Xu’s retaliation; he was well aware of Yan Xu’s character, but he never expected that the Yellow Beast Dog provided by the event’s organizers from the start was Yan He’s old dog.

This old dog had first actively searched for the convicts, and then kept leading the three of them towards Yan Xu and Yan He’s trap!

“If you knew whose territory this is, you should have behaved, understand!” Yan Xu also slowly walked up, kicking Luo Shaoyan in the stomach.

“If you have the guts, kill me. If you, Yan Xu, don’t dare to kill me, then I am your grandson!” Luo Shaoyan shouted in anger.

“Why should I kill you? Just making you suffer a bit and lose face in front of all the clans is enough,” Yan Xu said.

“Grandson, just you wait!” Luo Shaoyan was frustrated, knowing that the other party would plot against him, yet he hadn’t been cautious enough.

He clenched his teeth, accepting his fate for today!

But Luo Shaoyan wasn’t someone easy to mess with, and he vowed to repay the favor in spades.

“Give him a few more lashes, but don’t cripple him,” Yan Xu said to his loyal henchman, Yan He, standing beside him.

Yan He was ruthless and would have preferred to whip Luo Shaoyan to death, but he knew that Luo Shaoyan was no ordinary person, and provoking his backing would still bring trouble to the Yan Clan.

Yan He raised his whip, ready to strike, when a flurry of snow-white Blade Feathers shot out from behind the rugged rocks, sweeping through like a blizzard, yet sharp as knives!

Yan He quickly retracted his hand, whipping furiously through the air. The whip danced, creating a wall of air that blocked the incoming white feather blades.
