Chapter 520

But the S-class dangerous species still has some capabilities.

Upon noticing Shirley's attack, the Six-winged Dragon Eagle swiftly dodged, easily avoiding the dragon flames.

This also further accelerated the pace.

In a pure combat contest, the Six-winged Dragon Eagle cannot compete with Leon and his group, but in an aerial speed contest, it can hold its own for a while.

Shirley tried several more dragon fire attacks, but it dodged them all.

"Shirley, your basic skills... you still need to practice." Leon couldn't help but complain.

The young Guard corps was also a little embarrassed, "... I'm sorry, Your Prince, I've neglected my cultivation lately."

"Watch me, the Prince, demonstrate what true aiming is."

"We'll see, Your Prince."

Leon slowly raised his hand, lightning gathering in his palm. With a slight aiming, he seized the opportunity and fired a Thunder Wolf—

It missed.

"Tsk."

Another shot,

It's crooked again.

"Hiss..."

The third shot,

It's crooked.

"Not a buddy..."

Shirley: "Your Prince, your basic skills... seem to have a lot of room for improvement."

"... Remember to call me next time you practice shooting."

Noa added insult to injury, "Dad, you didn't look like this when you were popping balloons at the Young Dragon Paradise back in the day."

"...Sweetie, Dad will teach you a new sentence today, which is 'A hero doesn't dwell on his past glories.'"

Actually, Leon and Shirley can't be entirely blamed for having no skills.

The Six-winged Dragon Eagle is incredibly fast and reacts extremely quickly.

In the heat of a chase, it is indeed quite difficult to hit such a fast-moving dangerous species with ranged magic.

Leon then tried to attack several more times, but still failed to hit the dragon eagle.

This made someone a little red-hot.

"I'm going to pluck all its fur off today!"

After a chase of more than ten minutes, Shirley finally came to a distance that was relatively close to the Six-winged Dragon Eagle.

It was clear that Dragonhawk's stamina was waning, but Shirley still had some energy left.

The gap between dangerous species and Dragon Race is gradually becoming apparent.

"Dad, this distance is about right."

As Noa spoke, she waved to Leon, signaling him to crouch down.

Leon did as instructed.

Noa whispered a few words in his ear.

After listening, Leon asked, "Is doing this a bit dangerous? Are you sure?"

"Hmm, it's a bit dangerous, but it feels really cool. Like you, Dad."

The doting father was pleased by the praise, chuckled, and patted Noa's head, "Okay, then Dad will help you."

After saying that, Leon took a few steps back, then bent over in a lunge position, interlacing his fingers and placing his palms up in front of his knees.

Noa also stepped back a few meters, and after calculating the distance accurately, she strode towards Leon.

As Noa sprinted towards Leon, she raised her foot and stepped on Leon's clasped hands, which were pointing upwards. At the same time, Leon used his arms to lift himself up.

Using this as a springboard, and with her Dad's help, Noa leaped high into the air.

Then, Noa looked back at the dragon eagle not far ahead, calculating the distance between it and herself while gathering Lightning magic with one hand.

Seizing the opportunity, Noa unleashed the Lightning Wolf Breaking Army, using the recoil to propel herself directly above the Six-winged Dragon Eagle.

"Finally... I caught up with you."

Noa gathered Lightning Rush in her right hand and dropped them onto the dragon eagle's back from above.

Boom--

Lightning Rush struck, accompanied by a deafening roar. The Six-winged Dragon Eagle could no longer maintain its flight posture and wobbled as it plummeted to the ground.

Shirley also swooped down, and after getting close to the dragon eagle, Noa took two steps and jumped back onto Shirley from the dragon eagle's back.

"Well done, Noa, those two moves were just as cool as your Dad was back in the day."

Leon held out his hand, and Noa jumped up with her arm raised, giving her father a high five.

"Thank you, Dad."

Leon patted her on the shoulder encouragingly.

Shirley slowly lowered the father and daughter back to the ground.

The Six-winged Dragon Eagle was lying under a giant tree in front of it, trying to stand up again.

Actually, Noa's Lightning Rush didn't do much damage to it. The Lightning magic only temporarily paralyzed it, preventing it from maintaining its flight posture, which is why it fell from the sky.

But the impact of the fall to the ground was enough to give it a good thrashing, and it's unlikely to recover in a short time.

Leon jumped off Noa with Shirley in his arms, Shirley immediately transformed back into human form.

The three walked slowly toward the Six-winged Dragon Eagle.

Even when it reached it, it couldn't get up from the ground again.

The Dragon Fruit Tree that it had carried away lay to the side, its only two Jade Dew Dragon Fruit scattered on the ground.

Leon walked over, bent down to pick up the fruit, then turned to look at the dragon eagle and said,

"You greedy little thief, now you've learned your lesson, haven't you?"

The Six-winged Dragon Eagle let out a weak growl, but it didn't sound like a threat or a sign of defiance.

However, Leon and his two companions did not understand the Dragonhawk's way of communicating.

Having retrieved the Jade Dew Dragon Fruit, Leon planned to leave immediately.

After all, he wasn't someone who liked fighting and killing.

Moreover, the little eagle only stole some fruit and didn't cause any irreparable damage. Now that it has fallen so hard, it has been taught a lesson. There's no need to kill it completely.

"Let's go."

"Yes, Your Prince."

However, just as the three of them turned around and had not taken more than a few steps, they heard a commotion behind them.

Turning his head, he saw the dragon eagle stand up shakily, let out a weak cry, and rush towards Leon.

It's a pity that it's at its last gasp; it should just lie there obediently.

In an instant, Shirley transformed into a dragon, and with a single swipe of her dragon claw, she easily pinned the Six-winged Dragon Eagle to the ground, rendering it unable to move.

Leon looked at the fallen dragon eagle, his sharp eagle eyes seemingly flashing with resentment and self-blame.

"Why is this guy so obsessed with the Jade Dew Dragon Fruit...?"

Just then, a brown figure suddenly darted out of the woods nearby.

Leon instantly summoned Thousand Birds, shielding Noa behind him.

However, the figure was not coming towards them.

Upon closer inspection, it was a small Six-winged Dragon Eagle with a few light purple tips on the feathers of its wings.

It ran to the dragon eagle that had been pinned to the ground, shielded its body with its wings, and then raised its head to let out a soft cry to Shirley.

It was as if... pleading with Shirley not to hurt the dragon eagle.

Shirley was also a little confused. She turned to look at Leon, waiting for the Prince's instructions.

Leon nodded. "Let it go for now, Shirley."

"Yes, Your Prince."

Shirley stepped back, transformed back into human form, and walked behind Leon.

After seeing Shirley release the dragon eagle, the dragon eagle with light purple feather tips repeatedly swooped down towards Leon and the others, constantly making cries.

S-class dangerous species possess a considerable degree of intelligence; they understand what forgiveness and gratitude are.

After bowing and expressing its gratitude several times, the Purple Feather Dragon Eagle lowered its head and gently chirped beside the fallen dragon eagle.

The other party responded gently.

"Are they...communicating...?" Noa asked.

"Yes, although we can't understand it, these S-rank dangerous species can indeed communicate precisely with their own kind," Leon replied.

Finally, the two dragon eagles rubbed their beaks together, as if comforting each other.

"Your Prince."

"Um?"

"The dragon eagle with purple feathers is female, and judging from the luster of its feathers and its shape, it should be... pregnant."

Leon was startled. "You mean it has several dragon eagle eggs inside its belly?"

Shirley nodded. "Yes, that's right."

Leon blinked, calming himself down a bit.

Looking at the pair of dragon eagles, he understood why that 'little thief' had risked stealing the Jade Dew Dragon Fruit.

Leon lowered his head, looked at the two fruits in his hand, weighed them in his hand, then stepped forward and carefully placed one of them in front of the two dragon eagles before stepping back.

The two dragon eagles naturally understood the meaning behind it.

After another round of "thank you," the dragon-eagle "couple" carried the dragon fruit that Leon had given them and slowly walked into the forest.

Leon stood there silently watching their backs when suddenly, he felt a warm touch on his palm.

Noa raised her little arm and took his hand.

"Dad."

"What's wrong, Noa?"

"All things have a spirit, right?"

It was a truly unexpected bonus that my precious daughter learned some life lessons from this experience.

Leon smiled and nodded. "That's right."

He paused, then added, "But stealing other people's things is still wrong."

"Okay, I understand. But..."

"But what?"

"But now there's only one fruit left. Do you think that will be enough to save you from Mom's future tantrums?"

General Leon felt a chill run down his spine.

"... I was so focused on doing good deeds that I forgot about this!"
