No sooner had they settled than a huge flame roared in their direction.
It wasn't that the Giant Dragon had discovered them, but the spot they had hidden in was right behind where Prince Maes and his group were.
Prince Maes was on guard, using a magical artifact to block the flames from the outside, but other areas weren't so lucky and were burned by the fire. With their cover gone, Xia Yue and the others were suddenly exposed.
The dragon was surprised to find not just the prince but also a group of people behind him.
"Who are you? Are you here to rescue the princess, just like this fellow?" the dragon asked Xia Yue and her group.
Hearing the dragon's words, Prince Maes and his men were taken aback, following its gaze they turned their heads and saw five people behind them, looking just as surprised.
They had no idea that so many people had been following them; if this group had been planning an ambush, the prince's chances would have been slim.
