Chapter 12: Instant Kill, Quarry at Dusk

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It seems that I have to use the active skill Dragon God’s Summon next time. Otherwise, with my current MP, I’m afraid that even if I forcefully release the Red Dragon King, I’ll become unconscious due to the exhaustion of my spiritual power.

Su Ce struggled to get up from the ground. As soon as he raised his head, he saw the Red Dragon King lying in front of him with a concerned expression.

“Hoo-hoo.” The Red Dragon King gently sniffed her master’s scent. After confirming that he was fine, she narrowed her eyes in relief.

Seeing that she was very intelligent, Su Ce quickly walked up and touched her huge chin.

As he looked at the rows of sharp teeth in front of him, his expression became a little strange.

With the Red Dragon King’s current adult size, it was probably unrealistic for her to walk out of the mine safely.

When they reached certain low areas, the Red Dragon King had to pass through in her child form.

“Woo…” The Red Dragon King nudged her master affectionately and expressed that she was hungry.

Although Su Ce didn’t understand the dragon language, he was mentally connected to the Red Dragon King, so he naturally knew what she was thinking.

“Uh… You just grew up, so it’s no surprise you’re hungry. But with your current size, I’m afraid what I have won’t be enough to feed you.”

While speaking, Su Ce immediately took out the food that he had bought on the way to the bus station for breakfast from his inventory.

There were steamed stuffed buns, soy milk, and fried dough sticks.

Su Ce had eaten some of it while on the bus. The rest was probably not even enough to fill the gaps between the Red Dragon King’s teeth.

He tentatively placed a few buns in front of the Red Dragon King.

Just as Su Ce was about to speak, the Red Dragon King in front of him immediately shook her head, indicating that she didn’t want to eat.

“Uh… okay.” Su Ce scratched his head, really not knowing what to feed the huge dragon in front of him.

Other than monsters, there was nothing delicious here.

Just as Su Ce was thinking, the roar of a monster suddenly came from outside the cave.

It seemed to be shocked by the intense dragon aura in the cave.

He subconsciously turned his head and looked out of the cave.

For some reason, the sound felt extremely familiar.

It seemed to be of the same race as the gray howl that had attacked him earlier.

“No way, there’s actually a gray howl in this high-level area?” Su Ce was a little puzzled.

The Red Dragon King, who was lying in front of him, was also attracted by the monster’s roar.

She immediately stood up and looked outside the cave eagerly.

Her expression was as if she had smelled the fragrance of a feast.

After a while, the Red Dragon King turned around and looked at Su Ce again, as if she was really asking for his opinion.

Looking at the obedient look of the giant creature in front of him, Su Ce felt amused.

He nodded in agreement and walked out of the cave with the Red Dragon King.

After all, he had just signed a contract with the Red Dragon King not long ago. Seeing was believing. He had to take her out to see what she was capable of.

With this thought in mind, Su Ce immediately quickened his pace.

A monster covered in brownish-red fur was standing outside the cave, staring nervously at the cave entrance.

It had a huge body and no neck. Its face seemed to be embedded in a mountain of flesh, making it look extremely strange.

Being at Level 15, it could originally eat well anywhere in the high-level mining area. But it, who was usually incomparably arrogant, was actually frightened by an aura at this moment and trembling incessantly.

Its eyes were full of fear.

Bang! Bang!

At this moment, heavy footsteps sounded outside the cave.

The red baboon was shocked and curled up.

Suddenly, a giant figure appeared in the dark cave. It was a pure-blooded red dragon.

The red dragon was more than three meters tall, and her body was extremely powerful. She could only walk out of the cave after lowering her head.

In comparison, the red baboon’s two-meter-tall body was like an underdeveloped child.

Walking out of the cave, Su Ce immediately saw the monster that had roared earlier.

The red-furred monster was extremely similar to the gray howl he had encountered in the low-level mine. This one was just a little burlier.

Looking at the trembling red baboon, Su Ce patted the Red Dragon King’s tail and instructed, “Go ahead. See if this guy suits your taste.”

“Roar!!”

When the Red Dragon King heard her master’s instructions, her eyes instantly lit up. She opened her mouth and spat out a fiery dragon breath.

The poor red baboon didn’t even have the chance to struggle. It died in an instant and became the Red Dragon King’s food.

While Su Ce brought the Red Dragon King around to hunt, many Professionals who came early in the morning to mine in the outer areas of the western suburbs mine walked toward the exit.

It was getting late, and a black veil was covering the sky, making it a little dark.

In the safe mining area, people kept walking out, and many of them were pushing mining carts filled to the brim.

And more Professionals were returning from hunting in the low-level mining area.

“Sigh, it’s a pity that it’s almost time. Otherwise, we could at least kill a few more cave-dwelling crabs.”

“That’s right. Our party only encountered two elite monsters while wandering around the low-level mining area for half a day. After deducting the two thousand dollars for the admission cards and some medicine and equipment, we only earned less than three thousand dollars each. We were busy the entire day.”

In the mining area, many people were showing off their gains today.

Some people were deliberately carrying a few precious beast skins and didn’t put them into their inventories. They looked like fishermen who had caught a full load of fish and were showing off their haul.

After all, this place was one of the mystic realms managed by the city’s defense army. In addition to not being able to snatch monsters at will, they couldn’t attack other Professionals here either. Thus, they showed off their gains today in the safe mining area.

It was already a program that many Professionals carried out every night.

At this moment, a Warrior carrying a large piece of beast meat asked his companions curiously, “Hey, wasn’t there a young man who came to the mine with us this morning? Why hasn’t he come out when it’s so late?”

“Him? I saw him go to the high-level mining area with my own eyes this morning. I’m afraid he’s already in the stomach of some monster.” An Assassin with a silver scimitar looked back at the dark cave and smiled cruelly.

“Who knows? This kind of dungeon isn’t a safe place at all. That person didn’t stay in the safe mining area and ignored the warning of the Professionals guarding the high-level area. Isn’t he courting death by entering the high-level area?” An Archer who had also ridden on the bus shrugged helplessly.

The three of them left the safe mining area and walked toward the only entrance in the entire mine with their harvest.

At this time, there were less than two hours left before the mine closed.
