Sudden Silence

編集者: Atlas Studios

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was two days later.

In the past two days, the monster army had searched the entire area three times, but they still did not find anything.

The three dragons felt that the enemies were not in their territory, so they inevitably relaxed. After thinking for a while, they decided to head to the cave to rest.

Once inside the cave, White Dragon Cassie immediately lay on the ground.

Yaligos frowned.

Noticing the expression on her face, Jose felt a little embarrassed. He did not expect that they would return, so he walked towards the innermost part of the cave.

He would let the flames clean up everything!

After walking in a bit, Jose opened his mouth slightly, shut it, and walked back. When he arrived outside the cave, he took a sharp breath of fresh air and returned to the cave.

In the eyes of the Holy Altar's guards, the behavior of the Red Dragon was really a little confusing.

"What is this Red Dragon doing?"

A moment later, they understood the situation.

A torrent of dragon flames spurted from the mouth of the Red Dragon, pouring into the deepest part of the cave.

"Damn!" The Holy Altar's guards were so frightened that they jumped up from the ground. However, the cave was only so big, and there was nowhere to hide.

Fortunately, they had a mage with them!

The red-haired mage — Captain Oluke — reacted quickly and created a transparent energy barrier. The energy barrier was like a reef in the waves, protecting everyone from the raging flames.

The lump of feces turned into ashes, and the Concealment Magic Formation also lost its effect. The magic detection crystal ball in the hands of the Golden Dragon loli flashed.

Both the White and Golden Dragons raised their heads abruptly, but their line of sight was blocked by the dragon flames. Jose discovered the energy barrier that suddenly appeared in the dragon flames, and ten thousand curses resounded in his heart.

The enemy was actually hiding in front of him!

He did not dare to stop and continued spitting out dragon flames.

The mage gritted his teeth. As he maintained the energy barrier, he took out the scroll from his waist and quickly opened it.

Dragon Immobilization Spell!

A white light flashed past, and Jose felt that his body was no longer his. He could not move, and the dragon breath stopped as well.

The Dragon Immobilization Spell was invented by mages to deal with underage dragons. It had a certain effect on young adult dragons, let alone a young dragon like Jose.

Captain Oluke's heart was bleeding. The Dragon Immobilization Spell was a master-level spell. The craftsmanship of the scroll was complicated and expensive. After the war started against the Mistress of the Red Nest, the demand for this spell increased greatly, and its price increased exponentially.

On this trip to the Red Nest, he had specially used his connections to buy this life-saving item at a high price, but he did not expect to waste it on a young dragon. However, he could not care any more about his heartache now.

When the dragon flames stopped, Yaligos and Cassie saw the scene at the far end of the cave and were stunned.

In front of the motionless Red Dragon, a large group of humans dressed as adventurers were hiding behind a mage who was holding a staff, with an altar in between.

The atmosphere in the cave froze as there was pin-drop silence.

The minds of the two dragons were blank, but the guards of the Holy Altar were not stunned. They charged at the two dragons with weapons in their hands.

Yaligos quickly reacted against the enemies who were not to be trifled with, so she scrambled toward the opening. White Dragon Cassie, for some reason, was actually roaring and charging toward the inner part of the cave.

This was no different from using an egg to hit a rock. The humans rushed forward and easily suppressed Cassie.

The ring on Captain Oluke's index finger flashed with a magical light, and he disappeared from his spot.

"Lady Golden Dragon, if I were you, I wouldn't act rashly."

The voice rang out not far from her side, and the running Yaligos stiffened. She turned to see the red-haired mage, who was pointing his staff at her. Judging from the ruby at the tip of the staff, it was definitely very valuable.

And there was an axiom in the multiverse — the power and wealth of a mage were proportional.

"I surrender."

"This is a wise choice. Don't worry, you're different from them. As long as you cooperate obediently, we won't hurt you." With the spell in his staff ready to be cast, Oluke gestured for Yaligos to enter the cave.

Yaligos cooperated as she saw the two captured Dragons. Cassie was pressed to the ground, a gleaming double-edged axe aimed at his neck, while Jose, struck by magic, remained motionless with his mouth still open like he was breathing fire.

"Don't hurt them if you can. They're my friends."

"Don't worry. They're worth a lot. I wouldn't want to hurt them."

At the side, Jose struggled with all his might, but to no avail.

He was burning with anxiety. From the memories in the inheritance of dragons, the young dragons would not have a good ending if they fell into the hands of the humans.

Being forced to sign an unfair contract and being treated as a pet or mount was still a good ending. If they landed in the hands of a mage with a strong desire for research, they would be skinned, have their blood drawn and their body modified, or be injected with chemicals of various colors…

Just thinking about it made his scalp tingle!

Oluke forced the Golden Dragon into a corner as well, leaving her to his companions to guard. He hurried toward the anxious priest who was stamping his feet.

"Lord priest, there's still some time to go before the designated time. Do you have any backup plans?"

"The archbishop has instructed us that we can activate the altar in advance, but not unless we have no other choice." The priest grabbed the mage's sleeve as if he was desperate. "Captain, do you have any way to get us through the remaining time?"

"There's nothing I can do. The Concealment Magic Formation has been destroyed. The commander of the dragons nearby has probably detected the magical fluctuations and will be here soon. Activate the altar now."

Clenching his teeth, the priest walked over to the altar and knelt down. He crossed his arms over his chest and lowered his head. He quickly recited a prayer.

"Everyone, bring the Golden Dragon and the White Dragon to the Red Dragon. Once the altar is activated, we will teleport away immediately." As he spoke, the red-haired mage took out a huge scroll from the dimensional bag. This was the group teleportation scroll given by the alliance army.

Not long after, a golden pillar of light shot up toward the sky from the sacrificial altar and pierced through the layers of rock into the clouds.

"Quick! Gather and prepare!" Captain Oluke spread out the scroll in his hand, and light blue arcane energy poured out from the scroll, forming a profound three-dimensional magic circle on the ground and in the air.

At the same time, an angry dragon's roar sounded from afar. It was the commander of the Graystone Stronghold — O'Neal.

But judging from the sound, he was still very far away. By the time he arrived, it would be too late.

The priest ran into the range of the Group Teleportation Magic Formation which would activate in a few seconds and bring the guards of the Holy Altar out of danger, dragging along Jose and the other dragons into a nightmarish situation.
