"I didn't mean it that way, and I don't like bullying others. It was my fault for liking to eat your kind before, but later, the Will asked me not to eat you anymore, and I promised. I won't hunt you again."
Lin Fan felt that the dragon before him seemed to have some misunderstanding about him.
If he had to describe it…
It was like the dragon didn't understand his character.
He just didn't expect…
Hearing these words, the dragons seemed completely dumbfounded.
"Ah! He's the human demon who likes to eat dragon meat!"
"No… I don't want to be eaten."
"Help! The human demon has come to our nest! He's going to eat all of us dragons! Everyone, run!"
Unfortunately, a timid dragon seemed to have lost its mind, becoming frantic and losing its former noble appearance. If anyone saw it, they would definitely call it a mad dragon.
Veer's face turned pale with fright.
As one of the four Dragon Kings, he had never feared any opponent, but this human before him made him feel endless terror.
That terror came from the depths of his soul.
"Were you the one who ate the dragons that kept disappearing?" Veer asked.
Lin Fan replied, "Yes, I did it. I found your kind tastes quite good, but some don't taste very good. They're bitter and dry. I don't like them."
Veer trembled with anger. He desperately wanted to fight, but a voice in his head kept reminding him:
Don't be impulsive.
Stay calm!
Keep a low profile!
If you're impulsive, you'll end up miserably. Talk things out nicely. Don't resort to violence. That kind of behavior is very unfriendly.
He looked at the other dragons. Many of the dragons who hadn't experienced the harsh realities of the world were already timid. He could see it in their eyes.
They were terrified of the human demon.
Veer remained calm, analyzing the situation. If he hadn't misheard…
Lin Fan seemed to have mentioned the 'Will'.
He was puzzled.
Who was the Will?
Even as a Dragon King, Veer had never heard of the Will. Yet, Lin Fan said the Will had asked him to spare the dragons. The situation was confusing.
Could the Will be a powerful dragon?
As he was pondering these things…
A voice came.
"Veer, stand down."
Hearing this voice, Veer instantly knew who was speaking. The Dragon Emperor had arrived.
Immediately after…
A golden dragon flew from afar. Its white beard indicated the Dragon Emperor's old age, but its aura was the most terrifying among all dragons.
Its body was also twice as large as other dragons.
"Your Majesty," Veer stepped back respectfully.
This was the god in the hearts of the dragons.
"Welcome, powerful human." The Dragon Emperor arrived before Lin Fan, transforming into a human form. A white-haired old man appeared before Lin Fan.
"Hello," Lin Fan smiled.
Friendly communication was often this simple.
The Dragon Emperor looked at Lin Fan, unable to imagine how strong he was. Just by looking at him, Lin Fan was like a black hole, exuding an endless aura of danger.
The Dragon Eater.
This was the title the Dragon Emperor had given Lin Fan.
From ancient times, there had indeed been humans who called themselves dragon slayers, and after successfully slaying a dragon, they would consume its flesh to enhance their physique. But those were only a few, and the dragons slain were perhaps of dragon lineage, but most were hybrid offspring.
Not pure dragon blood.
The Dragon Emperor said, "Powerful human, why have you been slaughtering my people?"
He wanted to know the reason.
Although dragons were domineering, they weren't foolish. They knew who not to provoke. Only those of higher status in the dragon race understood the consequences of encountering a truly terrifying existence.
Lin Fan replied, "Because the meat is delicious."
"Delicious?"
"Yes, that's right. For example, that color of dragon, its meat is delicious, tender, smooth, melts in your mouth. It's really delicious." Lin Fan pointed to a water dragon not far away.
The dragon Lin Fan pointed at trembled, its pupils dilated, staring blankly at Lin Fan. To it, those eyes were like the eyes of a demon. For some reason, an unknown liquid dripped from the sky.
It had been scared to the point of urination.
Boom!
The dragon, frightened by Lin Fan, fainted and fell from the sky, crashing heavily to the ground.
Such a tragic scene.
If others saw it, they would definitely exclaim, "What the hell? These are the domineering dragons! Are they still the dragon race we know?"
The Dragon Emperor was completely shocked by Lin Fan's words.
Ridiculous!
Just because dragon meat was delicious, he hunted them. Such behavior was atrocious, terrifying, a blatant provocation to the dragon race.
But the Dragon Emperor didn't roar at Lin Fan in fury.
Instead, he chose to be pragmatic.
Lin Fan was very powerful.
He had the ability to annihilate the dragon race.
Since it had already happened, further entanglement would only be a disaster.
The Dragon Emperor said, "What is your purpose in coming to the dragon territory?"
"To find a dragon."
"Who?"
The Dragon Emperor didn't know who Lin Fan was looking for. Currently, almost all the dragons were within the territory, and because of the appearance of the human demon, many dragons who had left home had obediently returned.
No one could guarantee that they wouldn't be the next victim.
Lin Fan said, "Wait a moment, let me search carefully. I got his scent from the Will. As long as I sense the scent, I can find him."
Inside a cave…
Moby was shivering in fear.
"Big Brother Moby, a human has invaded our territory! Come out quickly, let's teach him a lesson together!" An ignorant young dragon called out.
Hearing these words, Moby became even more afraid, thinking, It must be that terrifying guy.
Damn it.
Who did I offend?
He just went out for a stroll, hadn't done anything, and this happened. He didn't even need to look; he knew that guy must be looking for him.
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?
Suddenly…
Moby found his body was out of his control. A force was controlling him. He screamed in terror.
"Help!"
"Help!"
As the Dragon Prince, he should have inherited the Dragon Emperor's domineering aura, but now, he had no dignity at all. The young dragon outside, who had been urging Moby to go out and confront the human, saw Moby fly out and was very excited.
"Big Brother Moby, you finally came out!"
But to his surprise, Big Brother Moby ignored him completely. He didn't even flap his wings as he flew towards the distance. This ability made the young dragon marvel.
Big brother is indeed big brother.
His methods are amazing.
At this moment…
The Dragon Emperor didn't know what Lin Fan was doing.
He saw Lin Fan stretch out his five fingers towards the distance, as if grabbing something.
Just as he was puzzled…
Something that made his expression change drastically happened.
Moby!
Lin Fan was grabbing Moby.
"Father, save me…" Moby cried out, shouting. He was truly terrified. He didn't know what to do now, he could only cry continuously, expressing his fear.
Slap!
Lin Fan grabbed Moby's head. Although Moby's body was a bit large, he was still obediently held by Lin Fan.
"Yes, it's you," Lin Fan said.
Moby yelled, "Let me go! I don't know you! Save me! Someone save me! I'm scared…"
The Dragon Emperor was extremely anxious.
He couldn't tolerate his child being in danger.
Having a child was already very difficult, and Moby was the hope of the dragon race, a dragon who could cast dragon language magic, with a bright future.
"You don't know me, but I know you. You're the one who hit my daughter," Lin Fan said.
Moby recalled the previous situation, "I didn't! I was just flying around! She attacked me with an ice arrow for no reason! I was just defending myself! I didn't mean to do anything!"
"I'm so scared! I'm still a child! Don't hurt me…"
Moby burst into tears, his body cold, feeling like he was doomed.
This was the human demon who liked to eat dragons.
An image appeared in his mind.
Lin Fan pierced him with a stick through his mouth, then out the other side, roasting him over a fire. The more he thought about it, the more afraid he became. He didn't want to die so miserably, didn't want to become someone else's food.
Lin Fan said, "Yes, I know everything. It's just as you said. My daughter did poke you with an ice arrow. But my daughter wasn't wrong. Your size is intimidating, and you were flying over a village. Who knows if you were planning to do something to the village, right?"
"Waaah…"
No one had ever heard a dragon cry, but now Moby's wails echoed.
He felt so wronged.
Was it his fault that he was big?
He was born this way.
To be fair…
Anyone poked by an ice arrow would retaliate. It was common sense. He couldn't be blamed for that, could he?
"Yes, you're right about everything. I was wrong, I was really wrong. Please don't eat me, my meat tastes terrible." Moby cried loudly, his weak heart terrified by this threat. He didn't know what to do.
He could only admit defeat.
He repeatedly stated that he was still a child, hoping that Lin Fan would forgive him for his actions, considering his young age.
Seeing Moby's wailing, Lin Fan patted his head.
"Good, it's good that you know you're wrong. Be careful next time."
These pats on Moby's head seemed painless, but the deterrent effect had already formed a terrifying shadow in Moby's heart. Perhaps in the future, every time he recalled this situation, Moby would wake up from his sleep in terror.
Lin Fan released him.
Moby felt as if he had been reborn. He swore to the heavens, I, Moby, will never go out again. Even if I do, if someone pokes me with an ice arrow, I definitely won't fight back. I'll just run away.
Too terrifying.
After landing, Moby hid in a corner, trembling.
The Dragon Emperor breathed a sigh of relief.
If Lin Fan had attacked Moby, he didn't know what he would have done. Would he have fought to the death with the entire dragon race, even knowing they were no match?
