Theron and Olisa flew in the sky, getting further and further away from Link’s group. They didn’t seem to be planning on coming down to fight with Link.
The dragons flew high up and escaped quickly. If they didn’t want to fight, Link’s group couldn’t do anything about it. They could only speed up and hurry over to the lake in the east.
After a while, Link suddenly stopped. He ran to the roadside and dug up a clump of green herbal medicine. As he dug, he explained, “This is the Cattleya orchid. It’s the ingredient for antidotes. There are many here so come over and help.”
With that, Masos, Felina, and Nana all came down from their war wolves and started digging up the herbs.
Three minutes later, Link had around ten pounds in his hands. “Okay, that’s enough,” he said. “Let’s keep going.”
They ran for around 20 miles, and a boundless lake appeared before them. It was the Crystal Blue Lake, the biggest lake in the Golden Plains. It was more than 40 miles wide and never dried. The Beastmen called it the sacred lake.
Felina had sharp eyes and pointed at the shoal. “Look, they’re over there!”
Everyone looked over and saw more than 100 Beastmen scattered in the shallow water. They had taken off their hide armor, revealing their burnt red bodies. Though they were lying in the water, it couldn’t relieve them of their pain. They still tossed and turned, crying out pitifully.
Some of the Beastmen had already stopped breathing, turning into corpses. They floated in the water, tossed about by the waves.
No one cared about them; they were all tormented.
After seeing these people, a message appeared in Link’s vision.

Link immediately accepted it.
On the other side, Masos sighed when he saw this. “This really is a horrible dragon catastrophe.”
Felina opened her mouth to speak but then stopped. Her fellow dragons had done this, and she couldn’t refute it. She just felt extremely shameful. She involuntarily clenched her fists.
Link had jumped down from the war wolf and was walking towards the Beastmen. Hearing Masos, he said, “Masos, watch your words. Isendilan did this, but he can only represent himself. He can’t represent the entire dragon race, just like how there are horrible humans too.”
Masos flinched. He glanced at the quiet Felina and realized that he’d said something wrong. Running to Link, he pointed at a Beastman sitting quietly on a rock beside the lake. “Master, that’s the Sky Shattering Warlord Holun.”
Link saw him as well. This guy was abnormally big, at around seven feet tall. His muscles bulged, filled with powerful tension. The hide armor on him was a bit damaged, and his dusty brown hair was kind of burnt yellow. There were some burn marks on his skin as well, but he wasn’t in bad condition.
He sat on the rock without moving, gazing listlessly at his struggling brethren. It was as if he couldn’t hear the pained cries from the lake. Or rather, he heard them, but he couldn’t do anything. He’d already done everything he could do.
Footsteps sounded. Holun looked over with his red eyes and saw four people who looked like humans walking toward him…No, there were three humans and one Red Dragon… Ah, it was a Red Dragon!
Why was the damn four-legged lizard here?!
Holun felt something explode inside him. He jumped up from the rock and prepared to fight but realized he had no weapons. He instantly turned around and bent down to pick up the boulder.
He applied force, but the rock didn’t bulge. It was much bigger than he’d expected and the part he could see was just the tip of the iceberg.
Holun roared in anger. Was a rock going against him too?
“Move!” he yelled. The Titan Battle Aura was activated.
There were countless cracks. Holun had shattered the rock with his bare hands. Hoisting up the boulder, he used all his might and hurled it at Felina.
“Die, dragon!”
The two-ton rock whistled through the air. It was two feet wide and cut the air with shocking power.
Felina was shocked. She knew she couldn’t catch it, so she quickly jumped aside.
Boom! The rock crashed into the riverbank mud and sank in. Mud splashed in all directions while there was a shockwave visible to the naked eye.
Felina had just dodged and hadn’t even steadied herself before she was slammed by the tidal wave of mud. She was practically swept off her feet, and her legs were already sore and numb. She almost collapsed.
At this time, Holun had already broken off another giant piece of rock. He held it high up and hurled it at Felina.
Seeing that Felina would get stoned to death, Masos hurried over and yelled, “Holun, stop! She’s our friend. She’s here to help.”
“Masos? Did you leave the White Cloud City to die here?” But Holun still listened to him and tossed the rock aside. He glared at Felina. “Help? Others can come help but not a dragon. I want to kill them all!”
Felina paled. Rather than becoming angry, she felt guilty. She wanted to apologize, but Link stopped her. “He’s lost his temper,” he murmured. “Your words might make things worse. Let me talk to him.”
