87: Chapter 87 Escape from the Dragon's Mouth!!

The air in the deepest part of the underground dragon nest became like a viscous swamp at this moment.

That Tier 3 Giant Dragon, whose body was shaped like a mountain, did not launch an attack immediately.

It merely lowered its massive head slowly, its dark golden vertical pupils resembling two temperatureless scorching suns, quietly gazing at Lin Yunfei.

The coercion belonging to the Tier 3 Late Stage Peak poured down without reservation.

Bearing the brunt of it, Lin Yunfei felt as if his shoulders were carrying two iron-forged mountains, and his military boots had already sunk deeply into the shattered bones on the ground.

Not far behind him, the formation of the Azure Dragon Guards sank sharply downward under this heavy pressure.

The heavy starry armor emitted an unbearable metal friction sound, and dozens of heavily armored soldiers in the very front bent their knees, heavily kneeling on one knee onto the hard skeletal ground.

Yushi, standing at the front of the military formation, raised his right hand.

The black xuanming heavy water hovering around his body fluctuated violently, the water flow becoming intermittent and completely unable to condense into any effective defensive Spell.

Under this absolute suppression of life levels, even mobilizing his Divine Power became exceptionally difficult for him.

Enduring the immense pressure, Lin Yunfei fiercely bit the tip of his tongue.

A strong smell of blood instantly filled his mouth, and a severe stinging sensation rushed straight to his brain.

Taking advantage of this pain, Lin Yunfei frantically urged the Origin power of the Calamity Divine Kingdom, forcibly breaking through the space sealed around his body.

His stiff limbs finally regained a brief ability to move.

Right at this moment, the Dragon in front slowly opened its huge mouth covered with fangs.

A terrifying heatwave capable of instantly gasifying steel swept over.

In the Dragon's deep throat, a speck of dark red firelight was rapidly condensing, and the destructive energy fluctuations caused the surrounding Void Realm to produce visible distortions to the naked eye.

The Dragon breath was about to be exhaled.

Lin Yunfei's gaze swept quickly across the dragon nest, immediately locking onto a corner on the side of the main hall.

Behind the mountain-like pile of rare Ore and shattered dragon eggshells, half of a crimson-red tail was exposed.

That Tier 1 Peak Dragon Cub, which had previously been frightened away by Yushi's xuanming heavy water, was currently hiding in the corner, aggrievedly licking the wounds on its scales.

"Front row, raise shields! Cover!" Lin Yunfei commanded sharply.

The two Azure Dragon Guards kneeling on one knee clenched their teeth, ignoring the wailing of their bones throughout their bodies, and forcibly stood straight, holding up two huge starry heavy shields high.

The moment the shields were raised, Lin Yunfei moved.

He urged the space Law of the Divine Kingdom to its Peak, transforming his entire person into a black afterimage, and taking advantage of the heavy shields' visual cover, he fiercely darted toward the rubble pile on the side.

The Dragon Cub sensed danger, turned its head, opened its small mouth filled with fine serrated teeth, and instinctively wanted to bite.

Lin Yunfei had no intention of dodging at all.

He mobilized all his Divine Power, transforming it into four invisible shackles that precisely locked the Dragon Cub's limbs and flesh wings.

Following closely, he slammed this little fellow, which was more than three meters long, onto the ground, his right hand tightly clasping a slightly darker piece of soft flesh beneath the Dragon Cub's neck.

That was the location of the Dragon Clan's reverse scale.

Lin Yunfei was very clear about the value of this pure-blood Dragon Cub, and he would never truly deal a fatal blow.

But at this moment, the force in his hand was controlled flawlessly, and the Divine Power at his fingertips flickered unpredictably, transmitting the most direct threat of death over.

The Dragon Cub let out half a whimper, and then, having been pinched by the throat of fate, completely stiffened in place.

In the center of the main hall, that mass of dark red firelight that had condensed to its Peak instantly dimmed.

The Dragon did not let out an angry roar.

Its massive body slightly pressed down, its huge belly pressed against the ground, completely blocking the only exit of the main hall.

A trace of deeply human-like coldness flashed within those dark golden eyes, coldly staring at Lin Yunfei.

"Let it go."

A voice as dull as thunder exploded directly in Lin Yunfei's mind.

The Tier 3 Giant Dragon possessed extremely high intelligence; it did not blindly attack, but instead weighed the bottom line of the human before it.

Holding the imprisoned Dragon Cub with one hand, Lin Yunfei slowly stood up from behind the rubble pile.

"Senior, rest assured, I just want to ask Your Highness to see us off for a segment."

Lin Yunfei looked straight into the Dragon's eyes, his tone steady and speaking with a straight face.

His right hand remained steadily clasped at the Dragon Cub's reverse scale without a shred of slackness, as if he were truly politely inviting the other party to be a guest.

At the same time, Lin Yunfei's left hand behind his back quickly made a tactical gesture.

Yushi immediately understood the command.

He gave up condensing attacking Spells, instead completely dissolving the scattered xuanming heavy water around his body into a thick black water mist that rapidly permeated within the main hall.

Taking advantage of the cover of the water mist, the Azure Dragon Guards quickly contracted their formation.

One thousand heavily armored soldiers walked with neat paces, closing in towards the direction where Lin Yunfei was, firmly protecting him and the Dragon Cub in the very center of the military formation.

Watching this scene, the Dragon slowly scraped a deep gully on the ground with its front claws.

Its massive body began to move backward slowly.

Every half step it retreated, the entire underground dragon nest trembled accordingly once.

It was making room for this human army to move, but the gaze locked onto Lin Yunfei's right hand was like tangible blades.

Carrying the Dragon Cub, Lin Yunfei maintained a pace completely consistent with the Dragon.

Under the shroud of the black water mist, the army retreated bit by bit toward the exit of the dragon nest.

The sound of shattered bones appeared exceptionally harsh in the quiet main hall.

Both sides maintained a delicate and deadly balance, neither making any over-the-top actions.

Yushi closely followed by Lin Yunfei's side, his gaze vigilantly staring at the Dragon's lower jaw at all times.

"Master, it won't let us leave." Yushi reminded in a low voice, his voice revealing an unnoticeable tightness.

"That's why we can't return the hostage too early." Lin Yunfei replied without turning his head.

The army finally retreated to the edge of the skeletal main hall.

In the underground canyon outside, the Azure Dragon chariot pulled by several tamed Tier 1 Yao Beasts was already waiting in full battle array.

The instant he stepped out of the main hall exit, Lin Yunfei turned around fiercely.

He precisely threw the Dragon Cub, which was completely locked down by Divine Power in his hand, into the rear cabin of the Azure Dragon chariot crafted from starlight iron.

"Yushi, watch it well, absolutely do not let it break free from the chains."

Lin Yunfei leapt onto the front compartment of the chariot, backhanded and pulled out the long sword at his waist, its blade pointing directly at the outer periphery of the canyon.

"All forces listen to the order, formation unchanged, evacuate at full speed!"

The Azure Dragon Guards immediately shifted from a defensive posture to a forced march.

The heavy footsteps echoed within the canyon, and under the pulling of the Yao Beast, the chariot dashed wildly toward the top of the sinkhole like an arrow leaving the string.

Right at the moment the army just rushed out of the sinkhole and stepped into the dark red poisonous miasma forest.

The ground beneath their feet suddenly shook violently.

A deafening, heaven-shaking roar came from the abyss behind, and the huge mountain where the entire underground dragon nest was located burst open violently from the inside out.

Countless pieces of house-sized black rocks were thrown high into the sky, resembling a retrograde meteor shower.

Amidst the flying gravel and dust, that pitch-dark red behemoth spread its sky-covering wings, crashing through the shackles of the stratum and soaring straight into the clouds.

The Dragon hovered beneath the lead-gray firmament of the Crimson Wasteland, lifting its head high.

A high-pitched, sorrowful, and indignant dragon roar filled with endless majesty transformed into visible soundwave ripples, instantly sweeping across the entire wasteland.

Under the call of this roar, deep within the originally silent wasteland, countless crimson-red eyes lit up one after another in the darkness.
