"Hong Yan."
"Here."
The red-haired girl in a dark green orderly uniform smashed a "Mystery" apart with one claw. Wings extended from her back and flapped once, carrying her down beside Lin Qiye as she spoke respectfully.

"Yes."
Hong Yan's body rapidly swelled, and in the blink of an eye, she transformed into a massive Blazing Vein Earth Dragon. She crouched on the ground, and the gale stirred up by her wings sent all the lower-level "Mysteries" flying.
