"Kill the damned dark dragon!" The Dark Elf matriarch, Dana, no longer possessed her former beauty and demeanour as she screamed, her hair flying wildly all over the place.
The Dark Elves scattered and dodged in all directions due to the Dark Dragon's indiscriminate rage, occasionally running into the Dark Dragon's poisonous bursts of flame. Even though Dana had the protection of the dark elves, she still looked rather battered.
Under Dana's command, the remaining dark elves began to attack the almost blind dark dragon. All sorts of arrows and magic struck the dark dragon's body, aggravating its injuries.
As an advanced magical creature, the Dark Dragon's strength was beyond doubt. Even with three hundred dark elves, if the male dark elf hadn't sacrificed his life to activate that strange bow, they probably wouldn't have been able to harm the dark dragon.
But so far, with the dark dragon already so badly injured that his eyes could no longer see, his large body had become a living target. As the injuries ravaged his body, his speed slowed and his attacks weren't as powerful as before.
The dark elves in the back were pushed up against the rock wall that Han Shuo and the others were standing behind. When Han Shuo saw that the dark dragon was about to die, he immediately nodded to the old priest.
"Destroy the stone wall, we'll go in and clean it up." Han Shuo laughed darkly and gave the old priest instructions.
The forest troll warriors were ready after the old priest passed on Han Shuo's instructions and immediately began to move the boulders. The dark elves had long since made their preparations to clean up afterwards, and had dug a sloping pit not too far away. The forest troll warriors needed only a little strength to turn the thick logs that the dark elves had prepared. The boulders rolled down the slope and tumbled into the deep pit behind them.
When all the boulders in the mountain valley had rolled into the deep pit, the passageway was finally reopened. Han Shuo scanned the scene with a cold gaze and waved his hand, telling the forest trolls to attack.
The forest troll hunters in the back row hurled spears and javelins with their thin arms, the weapons whistling as they landed among the dark elves. Though the dark elves had been prepared for an attack, they still let out multiple cries of pain as the multitude of spears and javelins rained down.
Dozens of dark elves were pinned to the ground under the onslaught. The matriarch of the dark elves was so enraged that she wanted to jump over and fight Han Shuo to the death.
"Matriarch, let's retreat!" A female dark elf elder shouted loudly.
"Shameless forest trolls, I'll deal with you sooner or later!" Dana's shrill voice roared loudly. Then she turned around and gave the order, ""Retreat, everyone retreat!"
The Dark Elves who hadn't already died ran for their lives at Dana's command. Even Dana quickly left under the cover of some experts.
If the roots weren't completely removed, they would reappear when the spring wind blew. Since they had erupted in full hostility, Han Shuo naturally hardened his heart and coldly said to the priest: "After them, exterminate them all.
The forest troll chief gave the order to attack, and the forest troll warriors came howling out of the mountain valley, pursuing the remaining dark elves.
Han Shuo took aim at one of the dark elves and ordered the little skeleton to kill. Wielding the bone dagger, the little skeleton was as fast as lightning as it flew past the hordes of forest trolls and towards the dark elf with the strange bow.
The male elf had used his life earlier to activate the strange bow, shooting a terrifyingly powerful arrow that riddled the dark dragon's body with wounds. Han Shuo was extremely curious about the strange bow, so he'd kept an eye on it the whole time.
When the dark elf who'd used up his life died, the bow was taken by another dark elf. Han Shuo had the little skeleton chase him, wanting to get the bow out of the elf's hands.
Gilbert let out a rasping roar as his huge body rolled, making thunderous noises as he thrashed around on the ground. The forest trolls around him rushed to avoid the dragon when they saw him moving again.
Even when badly injured, the strength of an advanced realm magical creature was still very frightening. The forest trolls had already seen how it terrorised the dark elves, so they were scared to death of the dark dragon's enormous power, and they were unwilling to let their guard down even now.
The dark dragon's body thrashed as it moved slowly towards the swamp. It looked as if it was trying desperately to get back to its old nest.
Seeing that the dark dragon was about to flee, and glancing at the dark elves fleeing in all directions, Han Shuo immediately roared at the old priest, "Divide half of our forces to deal with the dark dragon and let the rest go after the dark elves. Those who go after the dark elves shouldn't go too far. Even if they can't kill all the dark elves, they should return in a short time.
The old priest made a simple gesture, and half of the forest trolls who'd been prepared to chase after the dark elves automatically split off, while the other half attacked the dark dragon.
The forest trolls were more than twice as numerous as the dark elves. When two hundred trolls joined forces to attack the dark dragon, it was unable to escape after only a second.
"Wah wah... that hurts, don't hit me! Don't hit me! I surrender!" Gilbert the Dark Dragon screamed loudly as his huge body slowly began to shrink under the circling black lights.
Han Shuo began, not expecting the dark dragon to actually beg for mercy. He laughed uproariously as he raised his hand and motioned for the forest trolls to cease their attacks in order to see what the dark dragon wanted.
When the forest trolls had surrounded the dark dragon in the centre, the dark dragon's body continued to shrink under the circulating black lights, slowly transforming into a humanoid form.
A tall, slender young man with burnt skin, smoke coming from his head, and blood around his eyes appeared. He grimaced and screamed in pain, constantly begging for mercy. "I surrender, I surrender!"
Glancing at the old priest and all the weapons pointed at the young man, Han Shuo grabbed the Demonslayer's Edge and slowly walked in front of the young man. "There is no point in surrendering. There are many valuable things on you, your Dragon Crystal, Dragon Meridians and Dragon Horns are all priceless treasures. I can get them all if I kill you, do you think surrendering will do any good?"
Dark Dragon Gilbert immediately raised both hands and shouted, "No, no! My most precious things aren't with me. I can belong to you and enter into a master-slave contract with you as long as you give me beauties and treasures and keep me by your side."
Han Shuo immediately paused at this suggestion and thoughts raced through his mind, weighing up the possibilities of this proposal.
"Don't hesitate, think about it. If I become your servant, I can help you kill people, burn things, fly everywhere, and eliminate your enemies. As my master, all you have to do is give me treasures and beauties to enjoy. What a good deal! The young dark dragon shouted loudly, as if deathly afraid that Han Shuo would not agree. Then he added, "I can compromise if you have no treasure, but I must have beauties to sleep with or I will not do it!"
Han Shuo didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at the shameless and cowardly Dark Dragon. He stood there not knowing what to do. The old priest suddenly walked over to Han Shuo and rushed him, "Liaison, hurry up and agree. He'll be an absolutely loyal servant if he makes a contract with you."
"Lewd Dragon, why do you need beauties?" Han Shuo stared at Gilbert and asked amused. The latter was covered in burns and blood and looked like he was about to die at any moment, but still roared loudly for beauties.
"I don't know, I really don't. That's what my father told me when I was born. We noble dark dragons need to have lots of treasure and beauties to win the respect of other dark dragons. Beauties are our goal." Gilbert's black hands kept rubbing his eyes as he answered loudly.
"Eh, is this your first time away from home?" Han Shuo stared at him and asked again.
"You, how did you know it's my first time away from home?" Gilbert began as he turned towards Han Shuo's voice.
This lecherous dragon was actually quite stupid. Han Shuo thought in silence and then opened his mouth, "All right, I accept your request. You and I will make a master-servant contract right away, otherwise I'll kill you right now."
"Master, I'm your servant now, will you find beauties for me?" The lecherous dragon Gilbert cried out, pleading with Han Shuo.
"I haven't found any for myself yet, you wait there on the sidelines!" Han Shuo said nonchalantly.
