Chapter 129: A Wild Dragon

“Is it not over yet?”

“Theoretically, this quest is complete, but…”

A trace of worry flashed in Siloque’s eyes.

“I still want to confirm something first. Do you want to go back, Hill?”

“No way! I’m actually curious too. Let’s go together.”

“Mhm. It isn’t very far. Hill, stay close to me.”

“Oh!”

His sister raised her fist and cheered.

The two continued to avoid monsters along the way while carefully heading toward that valley.

Thanks to Siloque having the terrain memorized like the back of his hand and the fact that they were high Lv, their speed was not slow.

After passing a wide lake—one that Hill complained was as large as an entire city block—they soon arrived at Floor 3 Area B—Dragon Valley.

The valley was split in two.

The towering, rugged foothills were several thousand meters high.

Normally, vegetation should have been sparse above the midpoint of the mountain, but in reality, it was covered with various beautiful plant communities, with large patches of low sycamore trees growing there.

At the foot of the mountain where the two stood, water could be seen rushing through the center of the valley.

Both banks of the stream were covered with mossy reefs, making the area quite spacious.

“Brother, are those… all dragons?”

Hill placed her hand over her forehead to block the direct sunlight from her eyes, looking out at the sky with curiosity.

Countless dragons were flying and circling around the mountain peaks; any one of them was a Lv 18 Monster.

“Don’t provoke them. Not all dragons have the ability to communicate with people like Tiana. Currently, most of them have no intelligence and are just Monsters driven by instinct.”

“In other words, they’re no different from wild beasts?”

“Exactly. Look at that.”

Following the direction Siloque pointed, they looked toward the mountainside.

A dragon bit through the neck of another dragon and then began to feast heartily.

Its upper and lower jaws, stained crimson, crushed and swallowed the Crystal Core within the other’s chest.

“They’re preying on their own kind…”

“The rule among them is naturally the survival of the fittest. Those without enough ability aren’t considered kin.”

“Ugh… I feel like Big Sister Dragon is quite rare now…”

This area was called Dragon Valley, but it was filled with uncivilized, low-tier dragons.

Even so, they were not to be underestimated.

With their massive size and bloodthirsty instincts, their combat power was not lacking at all.

“People like Tiana, who have personalities, were influenced by the previous Dungeon… but let’s not talk about that for now. For the ones we can’t communicate with, let’s call them ‘Wild Dragons’ for the time being.”

“If you get close to them, they’ll instinctively want to rush over and bite you. Their sense of smell is also very sharp, so we should try to pass them from downwind.”

“I see, understood!”

Hill pulled out a small notebook and recorded the newly learned knowledge about dragons.

Simply put, the difference between a Wild Dragon and Tiana was probably like the difference between a gorilla and a human.

Hill followed Siloque along a narrow mountain path that clearly appeared to be man-made, though she didn’t know why it existed.

“By the way, Brother, wouldn’t it be safer if I used Stealth to go over?”

“You want to use Stealth to climb a mountain?”

On the mountain road outside the valley, they could occasionally see some flying dragons, but fortunately, none attacked them.

Hill thought about the feeling of consuming both MP and stamina…

“Uh… pretend I didn’t say anything. It’s better to climb with Brother. Brother, do you need me to carry you?”

“I’m not so frail yet.”

After climbing all the way to a recessed crevice in the mountainside, Siloque and Hill squeezed inside.

Because it was covered in orange-red moss, it felt soft to the touch.

The oval space was very wide, measuring about 30 cubic meters.

It wasn’t too crowded for the two of them to lie down, and there was more than enough room to turn over.

However, Siloque still felt it was very cramped.

The reason was—

“Sorry, Brother. The view isn’t very good on my side, so this is the only way.”

While saying she couldn’t stand how crowded it was, Hill giggled and hugged Siloque.

Siloque just treated it as if he were being clung to by a large koala and imagined himself as a tree.

“Hill, look there.”

“Oh, I saw it already.”

Siloque and Hill were at an altitude of 236 meters above the ground, giving them an excellent vantage point.

At the 200 meters mark, by the bank of the rushing water, two dragons could be seen.

The one with the silver-blue body was Tiana.

The other one was…

Snow-white.

That was Hill’s first impression.

The snow-like white scales did not have the slightest dullness; they were perfectly white and flawless.

Her round eyes were a bright red, emitting a glow like rubies.

Her slender body curves made it obvious at a glance that she was female, and her overall presence gave off a noble aura.

Suddenly, Hill felt she could understand Tiana.

“Wow… Brother, that dragon is so beautiful. I really want to catch her with a Master Ball.”

“I feel the same. By the way, that dragon’s name is Edriel.”

“I can’t hear what they’re saying.”

From Hill’s perspective, Tiana’s movements were timid, while Edriel just sat properly with her wings folded.

“Then I’ll translate for you.”

Siloque cleared his throat—

Tiana: This, for you… it re-re-represents my feelings!

Edriel: (After hesitating, takes the Red Frost Lily of the Valley) Thank you, it’s beautiful. So, you can speak normally.

Tiana: Because before… I was too, too nervous… I’m too embarrassed in front of such a beautiful dragon (covers face).

Edriel: Those animal carcasses you sent me… weren’t they challenge letters?

Tiana: Challenge letters? No! I just wanted to send some food. I really didn’t mean anything else!

All of the above was Siloque’s narration.

“Brother’s imitation is really spot on.”

‘Because I’m just reciting the text from the game.’

“It really is. They’ve even physically moved closer together. Hmm? Edriel seems to have been startled? Her wings even flapped violently.”

“That’s because Tiana said something like, ‘I like you, please let me mate with you!'”

“Gross, Brother, that’s sexual harassment.”

“I was just repeating Tiana’s words. Where is your mind going?”

A female dragon confessing to another female dragon.

As the party involved, this was probably the first time Edriel had seen such a situation.

Even if both dragons were female, they still had ways to reproduce.

They could exchange fluids normally or, even faster, just use Magic.

Magic is truly omnipotent.jpg

“The two of them seem to have become closer and are chatting happily. I guess this marriage alliance is a success. Hehe, I wonder what kind of reward I should ask Big Sister Dragon for later. I want to try riding…”

“Hill, you shouldn’t raise a death flag.”

“?”

Hill tilted her head, her twin tails swaying.

“…Ah! I shouldn’t have opened the champagne at halftime. Could it be that something is about to happen?”

Siloque kept his eyes on the two dragons below.

“Eeyaahhh—!!”

Edriel screamed.

Tiana shielded Edriel behind her.

She puffed out her chest and spread her wings to make herself look larger, letting out a threatening low growl.

Before they knew it, they were surrounded by a circle of Wild Dragons with dull gazes, white eyes, and drooling mouths.

All of them were male, and there were more than twenty of them by a rough count.

They let out whines and their tails stood upright, vibrating with a certain rhythm.

“…I feel like things are looking bad. It shouldn’t be what I’m thinking, right…?”

Hill instinctively reached for her Shield.

As someone who had played many hardcore adult games, his sister probably realized that what was about to happen would not be anything good.

Siloque took a hair tie from the Ring Chart and tied his ponytail.

The situation he didn’t want to see had happened anyway.

To put it simply, this group of male Wild Dragons had gone into heat.

When Tiana was venting by punching the Great Tree earlier, the Incident on Edriel’s side had already begun.

If the quest failed, Tiana would be bitten and seriously injured, forced to watch as Edriel was violated in turns by these dragons in heat.

Tiana would watch helplessly until the gazes of those male Wild Dragons eventually converged on her own dying body.

The atrocities committed by hundreds of dragons against them would last for half a month, with howls echoing through the valley until everything finally returned to silence.

He had originally thought Tiana would immediately fly away with Edriel after the confession, but as expected, things wouldn’t be that simple.

By the way, if no one had found Tiana to communicate with her, she would have flown back home on her own after hitting the tree.

Subsequently, Edriel would have been dragged into a nest by those dragons.

When Tiana came back the next time, she would never be able to find Edriel again…

Siloque recalled the CG of the dragons mating.

He only frowned in disgust; his reaction wasn’t that strong.

This kind of XP was still too advanced for him.

But he would not allow such a thing to happen.

No matter what form, species, or reason it took, a Tauren was a Tauren.

So, what he had to do next was to eliminate these dragon-type Taurens.
