"Oh, gods above …"
Many of them couldn't help but start praying.
It was no wonder that they were shocked. The dragon that appeared in front of them was completely different from the dragons that they knew. It had a black-gold luster and a protruding chin that seemed to be cast from steel. It also had fangs that also flashed with metallic patterns. It also had armor that covered its entire body and seemed to grow out of its body from the inside out. It also had a ferocious and terrifying head with crisscrossing horns.
If this place was the plane of Azeroth, these guys would probably think that this was the "Wings of Death" that had been driven mad by the ancient gods.
Unfortunately, this place was not.
In Airadia, people could only respectfully call it the "Dragon King" with amazement. This was a title that was recognized by the human world because of the widespread rumors.
If it was in the past, adventurers would most likely think that this title did not live up to its name. They would speculate that this was a title that was made up to make the evil dragons fight for fame and profit and kill each other. It was neither true nor lasting.
But now, if someone could see its true appearance, they would feel that this title was not exaggerated at all. In fact, it was extremely appropriate.
The master of Blackwing's Nest was so different that one could tell how powerful it was just by looking at it. It was completely worthy of such a flamboyant and fearless title.
In fact, when facing it, these 23 adventurers (two of whom had died) could not help but recall the ancient era of Airadia, the era that was ruled by the gods and dragons …
This time, Caesar really had a stage of growth after his hibernation. Not only did his body size and strength increase, but his overall ability had also undergone a qualitative leap due to the seamless integration of the Bio Boost Armor and his body's self-adaptation.
When he first fought with the Mother of Poisons, the assessment device's value was between 375 and 428. But now …
Comprehensive combat ability assessment: 594 – 703.
This value had completely surpassed Silvia's. Now, he could kill that proud old Green Dragon in a fair and square manner without resorting to surprise attacks.
This guy was gradually moving towards the Legendary-realm, which was a realm that only old dragons and even ancient dragons could reach. Once he touched the threshold of the Legendary-realm, it meant that he would have a foothold in the entire Airadia.
The glowing crimson vertical eye, which was completely different from that of any other dragon species, was quietly sizing up these adventurers. In order to face a giant dragon, they had specially purchased equipment that could resist the dragon's aura. However, they were still unable to resist the abyssal aura of the Black Dragon Lord. This only allowed them to barely stand and not fall to the ground.
"I'm very happy to see you, humans."
Caesar stood upright with his hind legs on the ground. The Black Dragon standing on his hind legs was much more majestic than he had imagined. He had even surpassed the height of an ordinary old Black Dragon. Moreover, there was no need to elaborate on how strong this fellow was. He was much stronger than any other Black Dragon. The visual pressure he brought was unimaginable.
He was indeed very happy. Because when it came to adventurers, Caesar had always held a fearful attitude when he was young. He would avoid them if he could, especially when he was just born. The young dragon feared the Horrifying Upright Ape like a tiger. He was afraid that he would be caught one day and brought back to be reared in captivity and made into soup.
But with the passage of time, the little black dragon also grew wildly. The young dragon that had been uneasy because of its inability to use magic was now finally able to look down on the things that it had been afraid of in the past with a condescending attitude.
This feeling … was super cool.
Existence affected consciousness. Caesar, this fellow, was now walking further and further on the path of being a villain. At least from a human's point of view, that was indeed the case.
"Greetings, great Dragon King."
The leader of the adventurers did not care about the cold sweat that was constantly seeping out of his forehead. He bowed and spoke with a stiff and hoarse voice.
"What are you doing here?"
Caesar's opening statement was very simple. He was not a dragon that killed indiscriminately. Moreover, the human adventurers were endless like locusts. Killing these few people would not be of any use. It was better to capture them and see if they could squeeze something out of these guys.
Yes, what are we doing here?
The adventurers looked at each other. They could not possibly say that they were here to slay the dragon, could they?
After seeing the true appearance of the Black Dragon Lord, no one dared to raise their weapons against this huge, monster-like Black Dragon. Their original lofty words and aspirations had long been thrown out of the window.
The only thing that was worth rejoicing about now was that this was obviously a dragon that could be communicated with. Regardless of what kind of temperament the other party had, being able to communicate was always a good thing. Perhaps they could find some opportunities from it.
But how should they continue the conversation?
The Black Dragon Lord did not seem to have any ulterior motives, but the adventurers believed that the evil dragon would not let them go so easily.
So, their next move surprised Caesar. The leader of these guys gave a few glances to his companions, and then all of them knelt on one knee and shouted, "Legendary Dragon King, your power is unparalleled. We have followed your footsteps and are willing to become your most loyal servants, serving you with all our hearts."
These words were said very neatly and smoothly. It was obvious that it was not made up on the spot, but had been prepared long ago.
It seemed that they had also used this on other true dragons before. Kneeling and begging for mercy.
Come to think of it, adventurers shouldn't be too shameless. Most of these guys were non-believers. Even if they had faith, it would be shallow or superficial. After dealing with monsters in the wild for a long time, they would naturally be infected with some evil habits. So for the sake of benefits and survival, these guys didn't have the concept of honor. They would do anything, including kneeling and begging for mercy after discovering that their target was too strong.
Most of the adventurers were not just adventurers. Depending on the situation, they would sometimes become mercenaries, sometimes bandits and executioners, and sometimes they would become the minions of evil dragons.
"I am very pleased that you all have such thoughts."
The Black Dragon snorted twice, and two streams of white smoke came out of his nose. His tone was very good, but before the adventurers could rejoice, the guy suddenly changed his tone and said, "Husky!
Capture these guys and strip them of everything! "
Of course, Caesar was not so gullible. These guys were obviously adventurers who came to slay dragons for fame and fortune, but changed their words at the last minute. If they were really evil humans who came because of his reputation, they would not have fought with the gnolls.
Hearing the Black Dragon Lord's order, the dragonkin flying dragons behind him immediately rushed up with a hiss, using their powerful legs to grab the bodies of the adventurers and threw them into the dungeon.
No one resisted. Under the gaze of the terrifying ferocious giant beast, there might be a chance of survival if they obeyed, but resistance would only lead to death.
