Decent Dragon

For a moment, the two dragons stared at each other, the air thick with a faint sense of awkwardness.

Luo Yun gave the Great Jagras a deep look, as if recalling the past, then turned and left without the slightest hesitation.

"Mama! How did this Great Jagras end up here?!"

"Roar!!"

The Great Jagras also let out a roar.

This time, it would definitely kill him!

Luo Yun hadn't expected to see the Great Jagras that had almost killed him again after so long, but he couldn't understand it. The Ancient Forest was so vast, how did this Great Jagras get here?

And they met again so coincidentally?

Could it be fate?

Don't be ridiculous. He was a Male Fire Dragon, not Earth. This guy was just a big Great Jagras, not a "Meow Meow" (Safi'jiiva) that could accompany Earth to the end of the world. What fate could there be between them!

Besides, Luo Yun felt he hadn't provoked it, other than accidentally entering its territory. Not to mention ambushing him, it had attacked him in a berserk, fiery state right from the start. Had he committed some heavenly crime?

Would it even activate its heat-dissipating membranes next?

Why was it so angry?

Luo Yun couldn't figure it out, but the current situation didn't give him time to think. Taking flight required time, and this Great Jagras wouldn't give him that time easily, so Luo Yun could only run.

But before he could take two steps, a scorching, foul wind came from behind him. Without needing to look back, Luo Yun, with a maneuver completely unbefitting a Male Fire Dragon's agility on land, flapped his wings and executed a super sharp turn.

The crisp sound of teeth clashing and flames exploding echoed behind him. The Great Jagras, not discouraged by missing its bite, had experienced the agility of this Hatchling Dragon before. It had been able to escape even in the complex terrain of the forest, so it was normal for it to dodge its bite with a sharp turn.

But the next attack would be the killing blow!

The Great Jagras flexed its thick legs, its heat-dissipating membranes flaring open, emitting a crimson mist. Its upper body muscles bulged, veins popping, and its mouth was no longer spitting sparks but spewing flames.

Its speed slowed as its legs began to gather power. Its blood-red eyes were fixed on Luo Yun, not far ahead, aiming for the final strike!

At a certain moment, its legs sprang forward like springs, and the entire dragon launched itself like a cannonball. Its gaping maw was filled with scorching flames, and the surrounding air radiated heat.

A spring-loaded, fiery pounce!

Crack!!

The incredibly crisp sound of its jaws snapping shut rang out, followed by the explosion of accumulated flames, creating a wave of heat.

The massive figure lost control and, driven by inertia, flew straight forward, tumbling several times on the ground before managing to get back up.

Luo Yun, who had managed to ascend and dodge the attack, looked back at the spot the Great Jagras had just bitten with lingering fear. A pit had formed from the explosion, the moisture around it completely evaporated, and the surrounding grass was scorched black.

Luo Yun couldn't believe it. If he hadn't dodged and been bitten, would his body have been split in two?

The Great Jagras, quickly getting back on its feet, looked at Luo Yun flying in the sky, and the entire dragon felt terrible.

"What the heck? With your size, how can you fly?"

It couldn't comprehend how a "ground chicken" from a month ago could fly so soon, and so fast at that?

"Heh heh, I can fly~"

Luo Yun, having narrowly escaped death, shouted cheekily from the sky, his roars conveying his mockery of the brute below who couldn't fly.

And indeed, it was true. Logically, the Great Jagras and the Fire Dragon should have been in the same tier, but the Fire Dragon, with its advantage of flight, had managed to suppress the Great Jagras.

In their encounters, the Fire Dragon had a higher win rate. After all, if the Fire Dragon couldn't win, it could simply fly away. But if the Great Jagras couldn't win, then... hehe.

Luo Yun's cheeky behavior completely enraged the Great Jagras. Its rage consumed its reason. It began to charge up, its neck becoming somewhat translucent due to the abnormal heat.

As an experienced hunter in his past life, the Great Jagras's moves, even if not perfectly memorized, were familiar to him.

Calmly, he increased the distance, timed it perfectly, flapped his wings, and tilted his entire body to the side.

Alas, a stream of fire, similar to a flamethrower, narrowly missed him. He then performed a nimble roll in the air, dodging another sweeping flame stream.

Just as Luo Yun thought it was over, the Great Jagras's crimson eyes widened, and it stomped its powerful hind legs forward. Withstanding the recoil with its muscles, the flame stream changed direction again.

"Damn it! You're not playing by the rules! You tricked me, you ambushed me, this little hatchling who's less than two months old!"

Relying on the speed boost from his acceleration, Luo Yun once again narrowly dodged it.

Then, he flapped his wings and soared higher into the sky.

Now, the Great Jagras's "flamethrower" couldn't reach him anymore.

Its only ranged attack was rendered useless. The Great Jagras stopped wasting its energy on futile efforts, its red eyes staring angrily at Luo Yun in the sky, as if they had an irreconcilable hatred for each other.

Luo Yun couldn't understand the Great Jagras's emotions, but he remembered today's events!

He gave the Great Jagras on the ground a deep look, roared at it in his still immature voice, and then turned and left without looking back.

All that was left was the Great Jagras's unvented rage. With a final roar, it unleashed a long stream of fire towards the sky.

Luo Yun, already flying far away, looked back and felt that it was truly a "Decent Dragon." Seeing him leave, it even put on a fireworks display to celebrate.

The Great Jagras's attack had been frightening but harmless. However, Luo Yun knew that Great Jagras were notoriously vengeful. Since it had moved into this area, he had to temporarily abandon this hunting ground. After all, he didn't want a brute lurking nearby every time he went hunting.

As for the future... there were too many unexpected events in the New World. Perhaps by the time Luo Yun grew stronger, this Great Jagras would have already died somewhere.

This encounter could hardly be called a fight; one chased, the other fled. It was short, so it didn't delay Luo Yun's hunting time much. It was just a shame that the Mushroom Pig had so easily fallen into the Great Jagras's possession.

Hunting days were always pleasant. Since Luo Yun stopped going to that area, he hadn't encountered any dangerous situations. Ya Ji's wounds were also healing quickly with sufficient nutrition, and she had learned about the powerful Great Jagras that had come to the area, so she didn't foolishly try to provoke it.

There were so many hunting grounds, so much abundant resources, and the territories were far apart. Surviving well and continuing to grow was what they should be doing.

Days passed like this. On the distant sea, a massive Dragonbone Ship broke through the waves, following the wake of the Ancient Dragon Crossing, sailing towards this New World with a clear destination!
