Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The night was silent as everyone was deep in their own thoughts.
All of a sudden, Shen Yanxiao sensed a strange aura mixed with the evening breeze.
“There’s blood.” Shen Yanxiao suddenly stood up.
The others immediately became vigilant.
During these past five days, they had not seen any other living beings other than the merfolks.
Thus, the smell of blood in the air at night had pushed their nerves to the limit.
“There’s blood? I don’t smell it.” Qian Yuan was somewhat puzzled, but he still maintained his vigilance.
They were still in the area occupied by Long Yan, and it would be troublesome if they were to encounter his subordinates.
“Very faint, over there.” Shen Yanxiao narrowed her eyes. Even though dragons were powerful, their sense of smell was not too developed. The elvish bloodline in Shen Yanxiao’s body had completely awakened and she
was also a herbalist, so her perception of scent was very keen.
Shen Yanxiao immediately set off in the direction of the blood scent.
Qian Yuan immediately extinguished the campfire and ordered the two dragons to stay rooted on the spot while he followed behind Shen Yanxiao with Yang Xi and Vermilion Bird.
As they got closer, Qian Yuan could smell the faint scent of blood.
The smell was still very faint, but Shen Yanxiao had noticed it early on. Her sense of smell was really keen.
Shen Yanxiao stopped behind a huge rock and raised her hand for Qian Yuan and the rest to stop as well.
Through the gaps between the rocks, they could clearly see a few cl.u.s.ters of flames flickering in the darkness ahead. Those flames were constantly flickering and were rapidly approaching them.
Sounds of rapid footsteps entered Shen Yanxiao’s ears. Under the moonlight, three figures were moving forward frantically. From their physiques, two of them were big and one of them was small, but their running
posture seemed to be in an awkward state. As the three figures gradually approached, the smell of blood in the air became increasingly dense. Amid the smell of blood, one could faintly smell a disgusting rotten smell.
Behind those three silhouettes, dozens of men with torches could be seen chasing after them.
All of a sudden, a huge black shadow shrouded the ground and blocked the moonlight, similar to a huge net that covered the sky.
Under the black shadow’s envelopment, a gust of chilly air descended from the skies, causing the already chilly night to become even colder.
Shen Yanxiao looked up and suddenly noticed a huge dragon hovering in the sky.
To be precise, it was not a dragon, but a bone dragon!
That bone dragon was extremely large, and there was not the slightest bit of flesh on its body. Only black bones were left to support its entire body and on its back, six bone wings stretched out.
It was a six-winged silver dragon in the form of an undead!
The moment he saw the six-winged bone dragon, Qian Yuan’s face turned deathly white. No matter how the merfolks described Long Yan’s crimes, he could not describe how shocked he was when he saw a skeleton of
the same species resurrected by the undead with his own eyes.
The bone dragon did not notice Shen Yanxiao and the others hiding behind the rock. Its target was the three escapees!
The bone dragon suddenly lowered its alt.i.tude and its huge wings set off a strong gust of wind, completely blocking their path of escape!
Very soon, the dozens of pursuers behind them arrived before the three figures!.
