Chapter 279 - TO THE DRAGON CAVE (2/2)

”Based on the roar we've been hearing, he's probably hurt more than we imagined,” Shen Ji Yun said while running.

Luo Yan agreed with this statement. The Gamekeeper mentioned that dragons were proud creatures. So, he doubted that the dragon would cry out like this in pain unless he's really, really hurt. The wounds on his body were probably very severe.

When he first went to the cave, he didn't really notice any wound on the dragon. Well, it was mostly because he was being too careful. He was trying not to wake the dragon so he barely looked at it. Then once he took the beast's egg, he just ran out of there. Maybe he should have looked more properly at that dragon.

”That dragon won't probably let us heal him that easily. He'd probably even fight us. Then his wounds would just open even further.” Luo Yan could already feel the headache just thinking about it.

”Then we'll just incapacitate him before he could make a fuss,” Shen Ji Yun simply said.

The closer they got to the cave, the louder the cry of the dragon. They could even feel the ground shaking, as if the dragon was on a rampage. Which was probably the case. When they reached the cave, they could hear the sound of ceaseless rampaging. Luo Yan shook his head. Just by the shaking of the ground and the sound coming from the inside of the cave, he could tell that the dragon was probably going crazy right now.

He looked at Shen Ji Yun who also turned to him. They nodded at each other and carefully walked inside. Both of them could see well in the dark. So, they could see clearly what was happening inside even though there was no light.

A huge dragon with scales as dark as obsidian was roaring and moving as if his whole body was in pain, hitting the walls as he did. There were large and small wound on his body. Because of his rough movements, blood splattered around. The most eye-catching wound on him was the deep claw marks on his chest. Even his wings were tattered. His eyes were all white, a sign that he was probably not in his right mind right now.

Because Luo Yan was busy observing the dragon, he didn't notice that the dragon's tail was about to hit him. If not for Eclipse's reminder, he might be still staring at the dragon. But it was still a bit too late for him to move. Even if he did, some fragments of the cave floor would still hit him. But that's still better than being hit by that tail head on.

He was about to move when he felt his waist suddenly being held by a strong arm. Not just his waist, but also the back of his knees. Before he knew it, his whole body was already lying horizontally and was floating away from the place he was formerly standing. Dumbfounded, he raised his head and saw Shen Ji Yun's handsome face.

Then his whole face heated up when he realized what was happening. He was actually being princess carried!
