"The Skeleton Dragon! So this is the beast they call Skeleton Dragon?" Ricky murmured after he heard what Zarlyk said.
From the name of this beast, he was even more certain that the Skeleton Dragon had the blood of the Great Dragon. If his Fire Dragon Egg could devour the blood essence of this demi-immortal beast that had the blood of Great Dragon, it would definitely help to speed up the hatching of the Fire Dragon Egg.
Although he was not clear about the feud between this Skeleton Dragon and the Eight Forces, Ricky didn't have a good impression of this Skeleton Dragon. The reason why Ricky didn't like it was that it initiated the surge of beasts regardless of the other beasts and warriors in the Chaotic Region.
Worse still, it was more disturbing to watch the Skeleton Dragon suck in the blood and corpses of warriors and beasts alike.
So Ricky would not have any mercy on the Skeleton Dragon. He would kill it and let the Fire Dragon Egg devour it without hesitation.
Of course, Ricky wasn't able to kill it by himself, but now here were eight powerful warriors at the ninth grade of Bone Reinforcement.
"Huh! Those eight old men have fought me in this region for ages. But they still can't kill me. You little guys just said you wanted to kill me? That's really a big joke!" The Skeleton Dragon laughed disdainfully on hearing what Zarlyk said.
"Humph! You crafty creature! If you hadn't hidden away every time, would you be alive now?" The thin old man replied in a cold voice, "Even so, you were still hurt by eight demi-immortals and had to hide for years to heal. Right?
And this time, I think you must have been seriously hurt. Otherwise, you wouldn't have launched a surge of beasts with the risk of exposing your hiding place. For healing, you have to use blood and flesh from the warriors and beasts killed by the surge."
"Yeah, that's it. And I suppose you haven't recovered much. Otherwise, how would you listen to our nonsense here?" That middle-aged man also mocked the Skeleton Dragon.
"Growl! Howl!"
The Skeleton Dragon roared loudly after hearing what they said. Its bloody eyes seemed even more ferocious.
There was no doubt that what those people said was true.
"So, it is impossible for you to run away from us with your badly wounded body. Today, you have no choice but to die here!" Zarlyk said again in a cold voice.
"Growl!"
The Skeleton Dragon didn't say a single word. It just roared fiercely and charged at Zarlyk to attack him.
"Retreat!" Seeing the Skeleton Dragon start attacking, the eight warriors gave an order to their followers. They soon prepared to attack. Immediately, they surrounded the Skeleton Dragon.
However, except for Zarlyk, the other seven warriors didn't attack. They all waited for someone to attack first. They had a plan. If possible, they'd wait until after Zarlyk had done his part. Then they would join in to end the game.
'Ha-ha, each one has a different idea! Did they come here thinking the clash would go according to their plans? Do they think holding back gives them an upper hand over their opponent?' Ricky thought to himself, questioning the wisdom behind their actions. 'But, do their aims have anything to do with the Skeleton Dragon?'
Even though this was a demi-immortal Skeleton Dragon, it was already seriously injured. At best, it may be able to fight three or four warriors at the ninth grade of Bone Reinforcement. But to take on double that number? Impossible!
If the eight warriors could unite, technically the battle would be a foregone conclusion. But now, seeing how they hesitated to pull the first move, the Dragon might still have a chance.
'This is the best option for me! The Skeleton Dragon and its opponents canceling out each other would be my advantage. If they fight fiercely and cause enough destruction to either side, I'll be in a better position, ' Ricky thought again.
...
'Damn these seven crafty guys!' Reading the intentions of the other warriors, Zarlyk was not impressed.
