High in the sky.

Zhou Huai rolled his eyes as he looked at the chaotic scene of war below.

He slapped Xiao Hei's huge dragon head and cursed irritably, "Shut up! [N O V E L I G H T] Put away your passive dragon might!"

"Stop yelling! I'm here to save people, not to slaughter them!"

"If you really scare the Great Xia soldiers below to death, I'll pull out your dragon tendons and use them as jump ropes!"

"Waaah..."

After being slapped on the forehead by its owner, the once arrogant Little Black lowered its head in grievance.

It quickly suppressed its violent quasi-god-level aura and let out a low whimper.

As the oppressive force dissipated, the stagnant air in the base below finally began to flow again.

"Whoosh—whoosh—"

The soldiers of the Great Xia Dynasty, having recovered, collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, each with a face full of lingering fear.

"What...what was that sound just now?!"

Zhang He leaned against the jeep beside him, panting heavily.

A communications soldier stammered, swallowed hard, and pointed to the sky, saying, "It's...it's a dragon's roar!"

"Oh my god, this is terrible!"

"I swear, I've never heard such a terrifying dragon roar in my life! Even the level 70 sub-dragons we encountered on the front lines of the Abyss didn't have this kind of oppressive feeling!"

"Yes! When that sound came out just now, I felt a splitting headache, and I almost died on the spot!"

The soldiers whispered among themselves, and panic quickly spread along the defensive line.

Everyone was speculating whether some strange monster had been spawned in that eerie forest.

Just as everyone was in a state of panic and making various speculations.

A sentry at the very front of the defensive line suddenly pointed his trembling finger at the sky above and shouted in a hoarse voice!

"Oh my god—!"

"Look! Look at the sky!"

The piercing scream drew everyone's attention.

Li Zhenyuan, Zhang He, and all the soldiers who had recovered looked up and gazed at the sky in the direction the sentry was pointing.

The next second.

Everyone stared wide-eyed, their breath catching in their throats!

In the midst of the originally gloomy clouds, a huge black hole was forcibly torn open.

A colossal black dragon covered in obsidian scales is flapping its wings as it descends from the clouds!

It's too big!

The enormous body, over sixty meters long, cast a large shadow on the ground during its descent.

Those ferocious dragon horns, those sharp claws that gleamed with cold light, and those vertical pupils like golden searchlights.

Every aspect of it demonstrates its terrifying power that surpasses all living beings!

As it landed, a fierce wind howled, and sand and stones flew everywhere!

Its enormous body, carrying a world-destroying aura, instilled immense pressure and despair in all the Great Xia soldiers below!

"A... a giant dragon..."

Zhang He's legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud, his lips trembling, unable to utter a complete sentence.

Li Zhenyuan's face was also ashen.

It's over.

It's completely over.

Ahead lies the Devil's Forest, which devours everything, and now, above us descends an epic-level dragon whose attributes cannot be measured by level!

The Western Frontier... Is it destined to perish here today?!

However, just as everyone closed their eyes and awaited death, thinking that the dragon was about to unleash its destructive breath.

Li Zhenyuan looked at the dragon, his eyes wide, staring at its back!

"Wait...wait!"

Li Zhenyuan's voice cracked with extreme shock, "Look! That...that dragon's back...isn't there a person standing on it?!"

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent!

Zhang He rubbed his eyes and looked closely.

That's right!

On the broad back of that terrifying dragon, there actually stood a tall and slender figure!

The man had short, gleaming blond hair that shone in the sunlight, a bare upper body with clearly defined muscles, and a pair of deep blue eyes that looked down at them.

That was a very typical foreign face!

The brains of everyone in the Great Xia military have completely shut down.

This terrifying dragon, capable of easily destroying a city... actually has a master?!

And its owner, judging from appearances... is actually a member of the Free Federation?!

"Gurgle..."

Chief of Staff Zhang He swallowed hard, his voice trembling: "Commander... Corps Commander, am I seeing things?"

"That face... blond hair, blue eyes, striking features... that's someone from the Free Federation?!"

Li Zhenyuan stared at the proud figure on the dragon's back, his rough hands trembling at his sides.

"Impossible! This is impossible!" Li Zhenyuan gritted his teeth and roared in a low voice, "If the Free Federation had such terrifyingly powerful individuals capable of controlling dragons, they would have swept across the battlefield long ago! How could they be unknown?!"

"But that appearance... it's really not of the bloodline of my Great Xia!"

"Could it be a reclusive, super-old monster? Or perhaps an alien race awakened from these ancient ruins?!"

The crowd below was in complete chaos.

"Good heavens! That's a dragon! A monster I've only ever seen in mythology books, it actually exists, and someone is riding on its feet?!"

"What's the point of fighting? The rifles and rocket launchers we have wouldn't even be enough to tickle those hard dragon scales!"

"Sir! What do we do now?! Should we fire a warning shot, or retreat immediately?!"

The soldiers' fear and despair spread rapidly. Faced with this dimensional attack that transcended dimensions, even the iron will that the Great Xia soldiers were so proud of began to waver.

"Shut up, all of you! Hold your ground!"

Li Zhenyuan drew his sidearm and shouted sternly, "No matter if that thing in the sky is human or ghost, friend or foe, as long as it dares to attack my Great Xia defense line, even if it bites with its teeth, it will bite off a piece of its flesh!"

"Attention! Hear my command! Prepare for attack!"

The continuous sounds of skill activation rang out, and even though their hands were still trembling, not a single Xia soldier retreated a single step.

Just as the Great Xia military below was on high alert.

High above, Zhou Huai, riding on the dragon's back, looked down with admiration in his eyes.

"The army of Great Xia is still as tough as ever," Zhou Huai chuckled inwardly. "However, I don't have time to stare at you like this."

Just as he was about to control Arthur and use this Western body to fabricate some excuse to send the soldiers away—

An unexpected change occurred without warning!

"Shhhhhh—!!"

A chilling, violent scraping sound suddenly came from the dark green primeval forest ahead!

The sound was initially very faint, but after only half a second, it turned into a deafening tsunami!

"Commander! Look ahead! That forest... it's alive! They're shooting up into the sky!"

Zhang He's eyes widened, and he shouted at the top of his lungs, pointing his finger forward.

Before the soldiers of the Great Xia could figure out what was going on, they were stunned by what they saw!

The devil's jungle not far away actually launched the first attack!

The towering trees and thick vines that were originally quietly rooted in the ground suddenly went berserk!

"Bang bang bang—!"

The earth trembled violently, and dirt flew everywhere!

Tens of thousands of thick vines, carrying a nauseating stench of blood, rose wildly from the ground, soaring straight into the sky!

Amidst the wildly dancing vines, countless sharp-edged, dense green leaves were also present! They converged in mid-air to form a green storm that surged upwards, sweeping towards the demonic dragon Xiao Hei in mid-air with overwhelming force!

They actually dared to drag this lofty dragon into that deathly green sea and devour it completely!

"They've gone mad! That forest has gone completely mad!"

Li Zhenyuan, his eyes blazing with fury, roared without hesitation, "Fire! Heavy fire support! We absolutely cannot let those damned vines spread!"
