The adult Draconic Hawk was too ferocious. The two of them had just run out of the forest when they heard a soft and melodious cry coming from the sky. Then, they saw the dark clouds in the sky being torn apart by a red light in an instant. A red light flashed through the rolling dark clouds. Gorgeous feathers and lingering flames. The Draconic Hawk's figure was so gorgeous that it was almost arrogant …
As the Dragon Hawk rushed out of the dark clouds, a wave of heat rushed towards them.
"Run!" Lin Li saw a flash of red light as soon as he looked up. Thinking of the power of the adult Dragon Hawk, Lin Li almost subconsciously dove into the mud.
"Boom!" Then, there was a dull sound.
The Dragon Hawk in the sky swept over the forest in an arrogant manner. Then, it spat out a scorching Dragon's Breath. In an instant, the surrounding forest was set ablaze, and the mud on the ground evaporated instantly. When they turned back, the land had turned into dark brown scorched earth.
"F * ck …" Lin Li had just moved when he felt something coming from behind him. His originally agile movements suddenly became very comical. He was like a toad that fell heavily into the mud. The stinky mud splattered all over his head and face. He spat for a long time before he finally got rid of the stench in his mouth. But, when he turned back, he was shocked by the scene behind him …
With just one dragon breath, the forest dozens of meters behind him was instantly flattened. At this moment, as far as the eye could see, all that could be seen was a blackish-brown scorched earth. The entire dense forest had disappeared under this dragon breath, leaving behind only a scene of doomsday.
"This, this, this … Is this a f * cking Dragon Hawk?" Lin Li refused to believe that a level-16 Dragon Hawk could cause such damage. A Dragon Breath that could wipe out tens of meters of forest was almost comparable to Legendary-level magic. Not to mention a Dragon Hawk, Lin Li would believe it even if it was a Wyrm.
"F * ck, Fatty, what kind of monster did you offend?"
"It, it, it … It's the Dragon Hawk Queen!" Fatty stuttered as he trembled. He was so scared that he couldn't speak coherently.
"F * ck …" Lin Li suddenly felt his vision go black. Damn it, this damned fatty was indeed a talent. After all the stealing, he actually stole the Dragon Hawk Queen's head. Why didn't he just steal a dragon's egg?
"How about … we return this Dragon Eagle egg to it?"
"…" Lin Li almost fainted from anger. If apologies were useful, what was the point of having a garrison?
"You can go if you want …" Lin Li pursed his lips and shrank back into the forest. "Try to talk to Her Majesty. Tell her that you accidentally took the wrong egg. Ask her if she will let us go if we return the egg …"
"It … It doesn't seem like it's going to be so easy to negotiate with …" The fatty simply swallowed his saliva, and shrank into the forest even faster than Lin Li.
"Good that you know." Lin Li was hiding in the bushes, but he was carefully observing the Dragon Hawk Queen that was hovering in the sky through the gaps between the leaves.
Fortunately, there was still some time …
Although the Dragon Hawk had the bloodline of a wyrm, it was not a real wyrm. Even the Dragon Hawk Queen that was hovering in the sky could not use Dragon Breath unscrupulously like a real wyrm. After a Dragon Breath, it had to rest for at least a quarter of an hour, and this quarter of an hour was the only chance for the two of them to take a breather.
Before the next Dragon Breath, the two of them were safe for the time being.
But, it was only temporary.
The two of them hiding in the forest now seemed to be dancing on the tip of a knife. They looked safe, but in fact, they could be killed at any time. An adult Dragon Hawk was at least a level-16 magical beast. Moreover, the one in front of them was the king of the Dragon Hawks, the Dragon Hawk Queen. Based on its previous Dragon Breath, it could be a powerhouse that was close to the Legendary-level. Even compared to the Fire Plume Ridge's Salamander, it was not much weaker.
There was the Sword Sage of the Storm in the Fire Plume Ridge. What was in the Cinder Woods?
Apart from a sneaky Bandit, there was only a rookie Archmage who had just broken through to level-15, and was only able to exert level-14 power because of this damned forest.
Based on their abilities, the only thing they could do was pray that the Dragon Hawk Queen would not find them so soon …
But, this was not something that could be decided by prayer.
Although the two of them seemed to be very safe now, there was at least an 80% chance that they would be buried in the sea of fire if the Dragon Breath came down. Moreover, they did not dare to run. They might be able to delay for a while by relying on the cover of the dense forest around them. Once they ran out, they would immediately be discovered by the Dragon Hawk Queen's sharp eyes. When the sharp claws landed, they would be torn into pieces in an instant.
"What should I do, what should I do, what should I do …" Lin Li knocked his forehead with all his might. He was about to go crazy. Ever since he had transmigrated to Anril, he had encountered many dangers. There were a few times where he had narrowly escaped death, and he had even killed a Salamander.
But, he had never been as desperate as he was today.
No matter how hard Lin Li racked his brains, he had to admit that the situation before him was completely unsolvable …
"What the hell …" Just as Lin Li was having a headache, Connoris, who was on his back, jumped twice. "How did you guys offend the Dragon Hawk?"
"Shut up!" Lin Li was instantly furious when he heard this fella's voice. If not for this bastard pretending to be an old horse that knew the way, how would he have met Fatty, and how would he have ended up in this situation?
"…" Connoris shut his mouth sensibly …
For a moment, the atmosphere in the forest was frighteningly oppressive.
The Dragon Hawk was still circling in the sky, dragging a gorgeous tail of flames behind it like a meteor falling from the sky. However, the two people in the forest were desperately holding their breaths for fear of making any noise. Shaun's chubby face was pale, and his small eyes were staring at the sky without blinking, paying attention to the Dragon Hawk Queen's every move. Lin Li, on the other hand, was racking his brains as he carefully filtered through every resource he had in his hands, from level-1 magic to level-14 magic, from various potions to various scrolls, and even to every item in the Ring of Endless Storm. Lin Li had carefully weighed all of the resources he had, from level-1 magic to level-14 magic, from various potions to various scrolls, and even to every item in the Ring of Endless Storm.
It was only then that he realized that although he had many treasures in his hands, none of them could help him out of this predicament …
"Hey, Connoris, are you dead?" After thinking for a while, Lin Li turned his attention to Connoris.
"What?"
"Do you have any ideas?"
"Don't ask me, I'm just a hammer."
"Damn it, your butt is on fire, and you're just a hammer? Great Soul Trader, hurry up and think of a solution. My death will not do you any good! "
"Why not?" "If you were to die, no one would lock me in the ring anymore. As for the Eternal Furnace, I'll just find a new owner. It doesn't matter. Anyway, the Brand of Dusk cannot be destroyed …" Connoris was not going to take it lying down, and started analyzing with disdain.
"Connoris, you've got guts!" Lin Li gritted his teeth and scolded. "But don't worry, before I die, I will definitely think of a way to put you in the ring, and then integrate the Spiritual Brand completely. Unless you can find someone with the same Spiritual Brand as me, you can forget about coming out!"
"F * ck …" Connoris was shocked, and was stunned for a long time before he said, "You win!"
"It's good that you know. Hurry up and think of a solution. I don't believe that a monster like you who has lived for more than a thousand years can't even deal with a Dragon Hawk!"
"Don't rush me …" Connoris grumbled, and suddenly exclaimed, "I remember!"
"Say it!" Lin Li's eyes lit up.
"I remember …" Connoris said confidently. "The Dragon Hawk is most afraid of a creature!"
"What creature?"
"Wyrm!"
"F * ck …" Lin Li almost kicked this broken hammer away. "Are you kidding me? Who in Anril is not afraid of wyrms now? If I could move a wyrm to help, I wouldn't need to waste time with you. I would have sent it to kill that little red bird long ago … "
"Don't worry, listen to me … The Dragon Hawk's fear of wyrms is different from that of other magical beasts. Ordinary magical beasts are afraid of wyrms' power. Wherever wyrms appear, there won't be any magical beasts within a radius of 50 kilometers. However, the Dragon Hawk's fear of wyrms comes from the memory inheritance in the depths of their souls. Because they possess some thin wyrms' bloodline, this fear is deeply engraved in the depths of their souls when they were born. A dragon's roar or even some wyrms' aura is enough to make any Dragon Hawk flee at the sight of it."
"Wyrm's aura?" Lin Li frowned, and suddenly slapped his thigh. "Got it!"
"Got what?"
"Wait …" In a hurry, Lin Li did not have time to explain. He quickly opened the Ring of Endless Storm, and took out something the size of a fist.
"Luckily, I didn't throw this away …" Lin Li held a dull stone in his hand, but it seemed like he was holding a treasure. Wyrm's aura? This stone was dug out from the body of Azardas, the Dragon of Destruction. Even if it was a gallstone, it would still have a trace of the Dragon of Destruction's aura, right?
That was one of the four Dragon Aspects of the Endless World, and could not be mentioned in the same breath as ordinary wyrms. Once its aura was released, even a real wyrm would have to bow down to it, not to mention the Dragon Hawk Queen.
"What is this?"
"Great Soul Trader, can't you see that this is something dug out from the body of a wyrm? How is it? Isn't the wyrm's aura quite strong?" Lin Li boasted proudly.
"To be honest, I can't feel it at all." Connoris did not give him any face. "If you want to use this to scare off the Dragon Hawk, I think you will be disappointed …"
