Without me intercepting it, this Black Dragon with the Angry Eyes would have been like a greedy giant bear, eating everything wherever it went. This had made the Mountain City Lord and the female bureau chief look increasingly bitter. In less than half a day, by the time night fell, the elite hunters who had originally survived under my protection had already been reduced by more than half. The remaining ones naturally regretted repaying my kindness with enmity, but regret could no longer solve the problem. First, they still had to face the pursuit of the Black Dragon with the Angry Eyes.
As if it never tired, the Black Dragon with the Angry Eyes charged madly ahead, eating its way through everything. Its feet stamped one footprint after another into the earth, gouging out one deep pit after another. One batch of hunters arrived, and another batch withdrew. Under the Mountain City Lord's orders, Old Man Meng had now taken on the task of receiving and coordinating the hunters who had come down for temporary rest.
While Old Man Meng earnestly coaxed the utterly exhausted hunters to rest properly before returning to the battlefield like some kindhearted nurse, he sat atop a Little Wind Dragon and issued the Mountain City Lord's absolute orders with an air of perfect command. At a glance, this fellow clearly wasn't the sort who could accomplish great things, but I couldn't be bothered with him anymore. After fighting for two days and two nights straight, even the Gale Dragon beneath me would grow tired, so Blue Stone, Chu Ruo, Purple Scheme, and I slowed our pace and took intermittent breaks while waiting for Chu Jiao and the others to arrive.
It was nearly dawn when a flying dragon ship indeed came speeding over from behind.
