"Brother on the right, you really have a lot, no need at all. I will erupt on the 26th, those who lie are just dogs from the stars~~~"
In his previous life, Ye Zhongming faced many crises, encountering death so many times that even the Grim Reaper would remember his face.
However, he had never encountered a situation like today.
He had to face a dragon alone.
In his past life, some mythical creatures appeared, although they differed greatly from the legends. Humans were happy to attribute these mutated beings, which bore some resemblance in form or ability, to familiar tales or stories, perhaps to maintain a sense of normalcy, believing that the Earth was still the same, just with some ancient creatures revived, returning to a mythological era.
For instance, Yangos, this evil dragon, had a somewhat different appearance from the dragons of Western myths, but when humans saw it for the first time, any differences in its massive body were negligible. These large lizards were also eager to admit they were dragons, as if that elevated them above all others.
Before his rebirth, Ye Zhongming had faced level six life forms and even participated in the encirclement of level eight life forms.
But at that time, he was merely a ranged attacker, a lowly mutant life form exterminator on the periphery, a sentinel on the core battlefield, unable to enter the main battlefield.
He had never faced mutated life forms above level six alone, let alone the nearly invincible dragon race among equals.
But today, he had no choice but to confront it because he could not escape.
In terms of speed, Ye Zhongming truly couldn't match the winged Yangos.
The dragon flapped its wings, hovering about fifty meters in front of Ye Zhongming, mockingly gazing at him. In the depths of its huge yellow-brown eyes burned two flames.
Yangos could never forget the shame of being scared away that day!
It was scolded, threatened, and educated by this weak human, suppressed, despised, and mocked by the Twin-Winged Golden-Eyed Royal Python above its head, leading it to choose to flee… in front of all of Ying City.
Yangos, never cleaning its behind, could easily guess how those insignificant lives that once lived under its tyranny viewed it.
Especially after realizing that the battle pet was nothing but a scam!
For a noble giant dragon, that was a disgrace, a disgrace for all eternity!
Such a disgrace could only be washed away with blood!
With the blood of this human in front of it!
"Kneel, and I will grant you a glorious death!"
A wave of mental energy surged into Ye Zhongming's mind; Yangos was practically roaring inside his head.
Ye Zhongming curled his lip in disdain. Creatures of the dragon race were truly hypocritical.
What glorious death? If it were someone else with a weak mind, this mental assault would be almost impossible to resist—either driven mad or turned into a fool.
Clearly plotting murder in secret yet pretending to be great, Ye Zhongming truly looked down on such life forms.
However, he shrugged and smiled.
"Respectable dragon race powerful one, may I exchange my life for some, um, very precious things?"
Yangos froze for a moment. This was the first time it had encountered someone trying to trade with it for their life. Countless lives had perished in the small city it had bloodily ravaged just days ago, yet no one had ever attempted such a thing.
"For example, magic crystals!" Ye Zhongming took out several magic crystals, sparkling in the sunlight. It was rumored that dragons liked shiny things; he didn't know if it was true.
Yangos let out a thunderous roar at Ye Zhongming, clearly angered by the presence of something it had on its forehead as well.
"Alright, alright, don't get angry." Ye Zhongming quickly withdrew the magic crystals and took out a fire-red gemstone.
This was the fire-type natural gemstone he obtained from the Ying City trading fair.
"How about this? Its attributes just happen to match yours, and you can absorb the energy inside to become even stronger."
