Seeing Yang Ling’s icy expression, then looking at the Ogres and Bullmen raring to go, Gurt became hesitant.

The environment around Jaboli was harsh. Not only did they have to face insolent pirates, they also had to defend against the Magical Beasts charging out from the Amazon Forest in a frenzy. For wealth and safety, anyone would hope to live within a well protected city, unfortunately... The Magical Beasts within the Amazon Forest were too powerful, too crazy!

Over the millennia, the Banto Empire, the Church and various factions of different sizes had failed countless times, proving that building a city in Jaboli is a foolish course of action. Not only would it waste money and manpower, it would also invite the manic attacks of the Magical Beasts.

No one knew why the Magical Beasts in the forest would swarm out and attack in a frenzy every time a city was built, and no one knew just what secrets the vast Amazon Forest hid!

Gurt was immensely grateful that Yang Ling’s army had arrived in time, saving the townspeople from the massacre of the pirates. He also hoped that a powerful team of soldiers would be stationed permanently in Jaboli; However, he would definitely not agree that a city be built here, unless...

“Sir, we are not being intentionally difficult, it is just that Jaboli is indeed unsuitable for building a city.” After a moment’s deliberation, Gurt decided to retreat as a means of advancing, lowering his voice as he said, “Unless your abilities are stronger than even the Banto Empire and the Church, and that you can defend against the tidal-like assault of the Magical Beasts!”

“That’s right, if even the Banto Empire had been unable to succeed after trying for dozens of years, how is it possible for a city to be built here?”

“Yeah, what is my family going to do if you attracted a large horde of Magical Beasts?”

...

The townspeople were filled with worry as they thought about the Magical Beasts roaming around, all of them engaging in discussion. Some of the townspeople who had originally been convinced by the flowery words of the Dogman Strategist Tanzimat, as well as those tempted by small benefits changed their stand constantly, completely without an opinion of their own.

“In terms of numbers or scale of our territories, the Magical Beast Territory is currently indeed not as strong as the major factions like the Banto Empire or the Church!” Looking at the worried townspeople around him, Yang Ling paused, then continued, “However, having a small scale does not mean that we cannot defend against the attacks of the Magical Beasts within the Amazon Forest!”

Seeing how confident Yang Ling was, Gurt had a thought, saying loudly, “Sir, we need evidence. If you could prove that you have the ability to defend against the attacks of a large group if Magical Beasts, we would build a majestic Jaboli City together with you!”

He had heard that the leader of the Magical Beast Territory before him hailed from a powerful family of Summoners, and possessed a strong Magical Beast Army, able to defeat over eight hundred merciless pirates in the blink of an eye. Summoners were people who dealt with Magical Beasts all day. It was not impossible that he would have a way to deal with the attacks of the Magical Beasts from the Amazon Forest.

“Oh, how do you need me to prove myself?” Yang Ling smiled, seeing that the other party was a little moved.

“Sir, the Magical Beasts are terrifying not only because of their numbers, but because there are several powerful high-level Magical Beasts!” Clenching his teeth, Gurt stepped forward, “I am a Dragon Blood Warrior. If you have ten brave warriors that are more powerful than me within your faction, then I would not have any objections to you building a city here!”

At the critical moment, in order to prevent an all-out battle, Gurt had no choice but to reveal his identity, hoping that Yang Ling would retreat after knowing about the uphill battle he had to face. Ever since he had trained his Dragon Blood Battle Energy to the third level, his abilities had surpassed an average sage-level fighter. If Yang Ling did have ten sage-level fighters with him, then he would be powerless even if he wanted to object.

Dragon Blood Warrior?

Yang Ling’s expression did not change when he heard Gurt say this, while Elder Berger, who had been protecting the little imp Annie in this journey, shook. Dragon Blood Warriors had fierce attacks and exceptional defenses. If he were to count the giant dragons they rode, they were simply a nightmare to targets on the ground. They did rise to prominence for some time in the Tailun Continent a few thousand years ago.

Even though the Dragon Blood Warriors had long vanished into the tides of time, their miracles were still espoused by the people over the millennia. Seeing that Gurt had severely injured the Twin-headed Ogre Braska with his bare hands, Elder Gurt knew that he at least had the abilities of a sage-level fighter. However, he did not expect him to be a legendary Dragon Blood Warrior.

After understanding what was going on with Elder Berger’s explanation, Yang Ling fell silent in deliberation.

Originally, he had thought that he would have an easy time establishing control over the tiny Jaboli, and that all he had to do was to use a mixture of threats and rewards to render the townspeople unwilling and unable to object to his decision of building the city. To think that there was a mysterious Dragon Blood Warrior hiding in the area. It was no wonder that the Twin-headed Ogre Braska was not his match, and no wonder that the pirates had been unable to obtain anything from the town for half a year.

“I have no problems coming up with a hundred people, much less ten!” Looking at the ferocious Gurt, Yang Ling smiled, then summoned the Dark Dragon King that had transformed into a muscular bloke, “You all can attack him together. As long as you have the ability to defeat this guard of mine, I’ll immediately leave Jaboli and even give you a ship loaded with rations!”

Attack together?

Not only would he leave immediately after losing, but he would also give us a ship full of rations?

Looking at the massive battleship at sea, then seeing the nearly three-meter-tall Dark Dragon King with towering muscles, Gurt became hesitant.

Even though he could sense a powerful pressure coming from the Dark Dragon King that had taken a human form; As long as he could emerge victorious, not only would the other party leave, they would even send us a ship full of rations. The allure was too great!

The reason for them taking the risk and forming a group to enter the Amazon Forest and hunt a large group of Violent Earth Bears was precisely because they needed a batch of rations immediately. Even though attacking together was a little dishonorable, nothing was too embarrassing to do for their survival.

“Hmph, as long as you defeat us three, we would not object even if you wanted to occupy the whole of Jaboli, much less build a city. However, if we make a mistake and kill your guard, don’t blame us for bullying him with our numbers advantage!” Gurt had not spoken when one of his tribesmen, his arms reaching his knees, spoke as he walked quickly forward.

Even though the Dark Dragon King gave off a heavy pressure, he was confident that he would be able to deliver a hefty defeat to the other party based on his identity as a powerful Dragon Blood Warrior. Furthermore, all three of them were going to attack him at once!

“Sir, are you sure that you are only going to send out one guard?” Gurt spoke as he walked slowly over.

“That’s right. I have a large batch of rations on my ship, guaranteed to last you an entire year. As long as you can beat this little guard of mine, I will leave immediately and leave all of the rations here!” Even though Gurt and the rest seemed powerful, Yang Ling was extremely confident in the Level Surpassing Dark Dragon King.

Ever since he had cultivated the Dragon Realm, the Dark Dragon King had become the official king of the Magical Beast Army. If he did not use his various Wizard Techniques, even Yang Ling was not a match for the Dark Dragon King in terms of pure physical ability.

After receiving Yang Ling’s confirmation, Gurt and the rest of the group looked at each other, then slowly headed into the battlefield, surrounding the ferocious Dark Dragon King.

At their current generation, only the three of them had successfully turned into Dragon Blood Warriors within the Silius family. Even though the most powerful of them, Gurt, had only trained the Dragon Blood Battle Energy to the third level, the abilities of all three of them were well above an average fighter.

One Dragon Blood Warrior was already extremely powerful, much less three of them at once!

The Dark Dragon King was extremely powerful, however, they also extremely confident that they would win! Even though they did not have the giant dragons that could take them to the skies, the Dragon Blood Warriors were still the most powerful warriors on the continent.

“My master had said that one’s abilities are not to be used in a spar, but used to kill!” Looking at the three Dragon Blood Warriors surrounding him, unafraid of death, the Dark Dragon King let out a cold laugh, “It is still not too late for you to regret, otherwise...”

The Dark Dragon King could smell a faint trace of dragon blood on Gurt and the rest. He could be sure that these people either had the bloodline of a giant dragon, or had once bathed in the blood of giant dragons.

To an average warrior, bathing in the blood of giant dragons had immense benefits, not only able to accelerate the speed in which they could cultivate their battle energy, it could also strengthen their physical body to extreme levels.

Over the millennia, the reason for there being so many warriors passionate about slaying dragons was not only due to the fame and treasures that came after, but also because they were looking forward to bathing in the blood of the dragons, rapidly boosting their strength.

It was rumored that a few influential families that had existed over the millennia had once even intentionally caught a few giant dragons and farmed their blood so that their descendants could consume and bathe in the blood, strengthening their bodies. It was only after the acts of revenge from the dragon tribe were they forced to stop this barbaric actions.

“Hmph, you’re asking for death!”

After letting out a cold grunt, the Dragon Blood Warrior whose arms reached his knees took the initiative to attack, throwing a fist at the chest of the Dark Dragon King. His attack was forceful, his speed fast as lightning. The hearts of Yuna, Ashnamov and the rest jump as they saw the attack.

“Alright, let’s go!”

“Break all his teeth with that fist, beat him!”

...

Looking at the fierce attack of the Dragon Blood Warrior, Yuna, Ashnamov and the rest were incredibly nervous and filled with worry; However, the hunters who were wielding weapons at the other side cheered loudly, incredibly excited.

“Hehe, your speed is still too slow!”

After tilting his body to avoid the other party’s heavy punch, the Dark Dragon King let out a cold laugh, then punched him between his brows. The punch nearly shattered the skull of the other party.

As a Level Surpassing Dark Dragon King, he did not have to pay too much attention to this level of attacks even if he did not cast his Dragon Realm!

“Dragon Battling the Galaxy, go!”

Seeing the Dark Dragon King tapping in on his advantage and was prepared to kill Brother Shauna on the spot, Gurt, who was the leader, was alarmed and charged forward. His basin-sized fist crashed straight toward the back of the Dark Dragon King’s head with blinding speed, his blood-red Dragon Blood Battle Energy pouring out, bringing along a string of afterimages. From far away, his attacks seemed like giant dragon with bared fangs.
