Chapter 258

Chapter 258

A giant dragon, as large as a small mountain, looked down at the two dragon cubs clinging to him, his bleary-eyed gaze barely twitching.

His eyes then shifted to the leaking dragon cub.

The giant dragon’s vision was blurry from drink, but his dynamic eyesight was excellent. Naturally, he noticed that the cub he had hit was abnormal, its flesh and blood rapidly healing.

Had he been out of touch with the outside world for too long?

When did such realistic biological mechs appear?

He originally thought that since this person had broken through the outer defenses, they should have some skill.

But one swipe from him and the cub started leaking.

Is that all there is to it?

The giant dragon shook his head, letting the two cubs bite and scratch at him. This level of harm felt like nothing more than a scratch.

He doesn’t fight with cubs. Across the star system, only dragon clan cubs are tough enough to withstand his claws; others can’t handle even one swipe.

The only adult there had leaked at the moment of deflation, revealing an aura too weak to understand how they had snuck in.

Handling someone so weak, he didn’t need to lift another claw.

He then lay down and fell into a deep sleep.

Utter humiliation!

Little Prince and Little Bai were so enraged their eyes shifted to their true forms, attacking the giant dragon even more fiercely.

Unfortunately, they couldn’t hurt him in the slightest.

Other giant dragons gradually surrounded them. Bai Xiaoyu barely recovered and hurriedly sent a message to the two cubs, "Stop fighting, we're surrounded, run first."

From just one glance, he could tell the other party thought him beneath contempt.

In fact, he managed to get in because none of the dragon clan generals bothered to stop him.

From the earlier clash, this person’s strength completely overwhelmed the three of them.

He had thought all hope was lost, but unexpectedly, the other party stopped after just one attack.

As long as no dragon clan generals stepped in, they still had a chance.

The two cubs still bared their teeth, unwilling to let go.

Bai Xiaoyu approached to pull the two cubs back, messaging them, "I'm okay, really. Stop biting; you won't break through his scale armor."

At this, the cubs’ focus shifted instantly, and even their anger redirected.

Little Prince’s face puffed up in anger as he turned back to shout, "Who was it that told us not to use our true forms?"

Even without seeing their faces, the lifelike dragon cub mechs mimicked Little Prince’s expression perfectly and even let out a roar.

Though the sound was in dragon language, it came out as a roar.

Little Bai also nodded in agreement.

The two cubs were visibly angry.

Even the two little dragon mechs were shaking their heads. Bai Xiaoyu had no choice but to grab one cub in each hand, "Cubs, let's retreat first."

The two cubs were reluctantly dragged away, and before leaving, the Little Prince couldn't help but throw a threatening roar at the lying adult dragon.

You just wait.

The giant dragon didn’t even open its eyes, though it found the two cubs rather spirited.

It was just that the man leading them was too weak.

The dragon clan's territory hadn't seen an intruder in a long time, and he was feeling a bit curious...

Thinking of the person who was left breathless by one swipe of his claw, the giant dragon's heart, which had been slightly stirred, sank without a ripple. The entire dragon drooped its head, every scale losing its luster, looking increasingly dejected.

Bai Xiaoyu seemed to sense something and looked back. That strong dragon, which had seemed so spirited just moments ago, now looked drained of energy.

The other dragons surrounded them, and he hurriedly pulled the two cubs into a sprint.

The adult dragons naturally gave chase, and amidst the rolling dust, two dragons stood next to the fallen giant dragon. One of them lifted its leg and kicked the lying giant hard.

"Stealing my wine again? Don't pretend to be dead. I saw you move just now."

The lying giant dragon didn't move at all, which infuriated the other dragon, prompting it to kick again.

He was a red tyrannosaurus, with a rather fiery temper, but even he had no way with a dragon pretending to be dead.

He absolutely loved fighting.

But this guy was now a weirdo, preferring to drink, sleep, and bask in the sun, moving only when absolutely necessary.

When the opponent just lies there, letting you hit them, it’s super boring.

Just like now, after kicking a couple of times, he found it utterly dull and was quite annoyed.

The other black dragon standing nearby chuckled loudly. But the laughter of the dragon clan was extremely loud, which caught the red dragon's attention.

Furious, the red dragon stormed over with a kick, "What are you laughing at? Looking for a fight?"

The black dragon ignored him, "It's been a while since someone dared to enter with two cubs. And they dared to enter our stronghold?"

The red dragon calmed down and also stared intently at the retreating figures of Bai Xiaoyu and the others, only snorting heavily when they had almost disappeared from sight.

The three of them were larger than the three dragons chasing them, their auras even comparable to the dragon generals.

Bai Xiaoyu had noticed this when he first saw the lying earth-colored dragon.

Bai Xiaoyu didn't look back. Even as they moved farther away, he could still sense the unconcealed powerful auras of the other two dragons.

He led the two cubs away, aware that two other strong auras were approaching.

Under the massive forms of the dragon clan, they had appeared silently. He didn't mind, but the two cubs had special identities. The dragon generals, out of respect for Big Black, might turn a blind eye, but he wasn't sure what would happen to the three of them.

The cubs had been on edge, but fortunately, they stayed obedient, not transforming into their original forms, and their auras didn't leak.

Bai Xiaoyu felt a headache coming on as he watched the two cubs biting his claws. He had a lingering feeling that the two cubs would eventually reveal their true nature.

He had originally planned to leave the two cubs with his clone, but they disagreed.

They would throw a tantrum if they weren’t by his side, especially the Little Prince.

The two cubs seemed to have an almost obsessive need to stay by his side, which was why they couldn’t embark on a normal cub's journey through the star system like the other young ones.

Now they were even biting him with their bio-mechs.

The two dragons also witnessed the scene. Was this an internal conflict?

That said, these two cubs were quite lively, appearing even more fierce than the cubs of their dragon clan.

Could that weakling really hold his own?

The Black Dragon glanced at the situation, speaking flatly, “Even if we don’t step in, they won’t make it past.”

The Red Dragon swished his tail, “They’re surrounded. Looks like they won’t last a day here.”

Bai Xiaoyu was indeed surrounded, and it happened faster than he had anticipated.

The Little Prince released the big mouth of the bio-mech from Bai Xiaoyu’s dragon-shaped mech’s claws and, with a roar, charged into the group of dragons.

Little Bai followed, looking visibly upset.

Bai Xiaoyu had a headache, realizing that a good fight was the only solution.

The Red Dragon laughed, “These two cubs can really scrap, but the older one doesn’t seem too enthusiastic.”

The Black Dragon nodded, “He really doesn’t want to fight. This bio-mech is extremely well-made; the expressions of the mech dragon cub perfectly show his inner feelings. He doesn’t want to fight but is quite capable. He looks even stronger than the two cubs.”

The two dragons, with a mindset of watching the fun, quietly observed the battle.

As an alchemist, Bai Xiaoyu usually disliked fighting, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t.

Just now, he was hit by a claw, and his whole body ached. After drinking a restoration potion, he felt a bit better.

The dragon clan was crazy; since he couldn’t run, he had to fight.

The dragon cub mech controlled by Bai Xiaoyu was extremely agile, and among the three mechs, his was the most like a real dragon cub.

But it was nearly flattened by a swipe from the laid-back dragon.

It seemed that the moment they met, their cover was blown. Unlike now, when they were officially fighting the adult dragons, these dragons hadn’t caught on yet.

After all, they had added the shed scales of the dragon cubs, making the aura and other aspects very realistic. It would be hard to discover anything with limited contact.

But their cover was blown upon meeting.

Bai Xiaoyu fought while thinking of a way to break through. His mech had already been completely destroyed once, and this level of damage could only be repaired once.

If it sustained the same or enough damage again, the mech would crack open.

Facing the cubs, the adult dragons fought with restraint. However, that was before the dragon who almost smashed his mech with one swipe.

Seeing the attacks that left large craters with every hit, being struck multiple times would cause the mech to buckle under the strain.

The adult dragons are using a war of attrition. With his small frame, he's not afraid of others using their big moves at the start, but this kind of slow, drawn-out battle like a frog being boiled alive is really troublesome.

Seeing this, the red dragon kicked the unconscious dragon on the ground again. "Seems like he's going to be caught soon. The nerve of him to come here with this kind of strength, it's admirable. Get up, or it might be decades or even centuries before we see another invasion here."

The current ruler is in his prime, so it might be the next one who comes after him.

Nowadays, there are many princes and princesses, and it's hard to tell which one will be the heir.

To wait for them, it could take decades at the least, or even several centuries.

Upon hearing this, the black dragon fell silent, and the yellowish dragon lying flat also twitched its closed eyes.

With the sound coming from over there, the kid was surrounded.

Looks like that mech is about to overload, huh?

The surrounded little dragon cub suddenly jumped, reaching over 300 meters above the ground.

The adult dragons looked at each other, wondering if the little dragon cub jumped so high because it’s giving up.

They were having fun fighting, but gradually noticed something was off.

Bai Xiaoyu knew that if he really fought the adult dragons with all his strength, it wouldn't be hidden for long. After all, the dragon clans and the dragon cubs have had a lot of contact. He could hide while escaping, but fighting for too long would expose him.

Red Dragon: "Finally done pretending?"

Black Dragon: "..."

Lying-flat Dragon: "ZZZ"

All the dragons looked up and saw the dragon cub in the air shaking its scales, then boom, it exploded.

The dragon clans: "!!!"

Even the lying-flat dragon opened one eye.

The generals watching the live feed above: "..."

The red dragon's tail stiffened. "He went through all the trouble to come here just to be a firework?"

The black dragon was also confused. "Did the dragon clan force him to self-destruct?"

The lying-flat dragon, who hadn't made a sound for a long time, let out a hoarse voice. "I think it’s more like a signal flare. He’s probably calling for backup."

"Signal flare? What backup does he have here?" The red dragon quickly realized and immediately kicked him. "Hey, you’re alive! Give me back my wine."

With no response, the lying-flat dragon returned to its previous state.

The black dragon sneezed. "What the heck?"

As soon as the words fell, nearby dragons collapsed one after another.

Bai Xiaoyu lightly jumped down from the air.

Seeing the young, pale face—made even younger by his injuries—the three dragons fell silent.

It seemed their hundreds of clansmen were taken down by a young, fresh-faced kid with just a firework.

Bai Xiaoyu patted the medicinal powder off himself and looked at the adult dragons piled on top of one another, his face full of apology.

"Sorry about this, but you guys specialize in fighting, while I specialize in drugging."

"However, to drug so many of the dragon clans at once, it takes a huge amount of drugs. After all, ordinary dragons need over a thousand times the dose of a human."

"Medicine is limited, so I can't pull this off too often."

"Besides, three of them are still standing and staring right at us."

Seeing they weren’t planning to attack, Bai Xiaoyu let out a sigh of relief.

The dragon lying down slowly sobered up. "Are these the royals of this generation?"

The red dragon said, "Who knows? It’s been ages since we last had contact with the outside world."

The black dragon narrowed his eyes. "Even with the drugs, looks like he’s got some real skills."

"Let’s hold off for now."

The red dragon said, "No rush. If he’s truly skilled, we’ll run into him sooner or later."

It’s not just them.
