"Can Commander Jiang Yi, Senior Nie Hao, Senior Ke Ke and Xu Huang really escape safely..."

Li Man was very worried. In order not to hinder Jiang Yi's military control of them, the group of people who had lost their combat effectiveness could only retreat following the fleeing Dishan Black Apes.

But at that time, Jiang Yi's military command and their situation was not optimistic, not to mention that there was a monarch-level monster waiting for an opportunity.

If they prepare for the worst, they will probably be eaten alive by those ferocious and violent spiders, and they will truly die without a burial place...

And once high-level masters such as Jiang Yijun, Senior Ke Ke and Senior Nie Hao encounter unexpected sacrifices, their mission to Dongting Lake will be difficult to continue because they have lost their most reliable support.

This is true even for military mages, let alone those hunters who only join the team because of the hefty commission rewards.

Losing a military commander and two master hunters, as well as a young high-level dual-system mage and a commander-level pseudo-dragon, the blow to them may be even heavier.

"Don't think so much. It's a blessing, not a disaster. It's a disaster that cannot be avoided. This is not unreasonable. Just believe that good people have their own destiny. There is no use in worrying about us, except to make ourselves uneasy..."

Bai Yeyu supported Liang Zhe, who was a little weak, and walked to the right of Li Man. He said in a deep voice, but his voice was trembling, which revealed that he was not at peace in his heart.

If it weren't for the darkness inside the tunnel he was walking in, Li Man could clearly see Bai Yeyu's pale face.

In order to be able to kill the leader-level blood Rakshasa that intercepted him, he almost squandered all three of his magic powers. Even so, it was only by chance that he killed the monster.

After all, the weakest among the Blood Rakshasa are the mid-level leaders, no less than the Blood Corpse Vine they killed when they sneaked into the territory of the Lizard-Feathered Dragon.

That time, only three high-level top mages, Jiang Yi Juntong, Ke Ke and Nie Hao, were able to kill the Blood Corpse Vine without any danger, and even further kill the ferocious pseudo-terrible demon it parasitized.

However, it is not easy to deal with even a small commander just by relying on the power of a two-series high-level mage.

Being able to kill a Blood Rakshasa is really incredible. As soon as he saw the monster and felt the smell of blood on its body that was so thick that it made his breathing difficult, Bai Yeyu was determined to make a desperate move.

He had tried his best just to fight against one Blood Rakshasa, but Jiang Yi's army not only had to contain several Blood Rakshasas, but they also had to stop the White Ghost Demon Spiders who were eyeing their companions who had exhausted their magic energy.

Such a heavy burden also consumes a huge amount of their magic energy. Bai Yeyu knows very well that although Jiang Yi Juntong and the others are the best among the high-level.

But facing the terrifying monsters that are above the commander level, even at their peak, they can't fight against a sub-monarch together, and what they are about to face... is the real monarch!

"Lao Nie and Lao Ke... are they still staying in the Demon Spider Tribe? There are monarchs there..."

Hu Yu managed to regain his consciousness, but the spider toxin still made his limbs weak. He was now being supported by the burly Liu Mang, murmuring in a low voice.

"…………"

Liu Mang remained silent. He didn't know what to say in reply to Hu Yu.

The deafening roar they heard before retreating made them shudder. That kind of monster was far beyond their imagination.

A heavy sense of depression pervaded Bai Yeyu and the others. They knew very well that something bad might have happened to Jiang Yi and the others.

And it was in order to protect their own group that they had the courage to stay and fight against the Blood Rakshasa and the Spider Queen who might appear at any time.

If they really wanted to escape, they might be able to escape. Bai Yeyu and the others could hardly feel the joy of surviving the disaster, only the unspeakable sorrow.

Their lucky escape was the result of the tragic sacrifices made by Jiang Yi, Ke Ke, Nie Hao and Xu Huang...

Especially Xu Huang, his strength is not much stronger than Bai Yeyu. Although he has a finishing skill that cannot be underestimated, he is still fragile compared to Jiang Yi and the other three.

For him like this, even if he has a commander-level pseudo-dragon, it will be difficult...

Bai Yeyu bit his lips subconsciously, a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes. He was too weak, so weak that he didn't even have the strength to share the worries of Jiang Yijun and others.

Even though he longed to join them in a bloody battle, the depleted magic energy brought him back to reality. Jiang Yi's military commander's warning and the military mage's rationality also made him know that he had to make the most correct decision.

So he was unwilling to give in, so unwilling that he hated his own weakness. If he could be stronger and powerful enough not to be afraid of the monarch-level spider queen, Jiang Yi's army would not lead them to the tragedy of being destroyed...

But no matter how much you think about it, you can't rewrite reality after all. Reality is not the thoughts you let yourself make up in your mind, nor is it the unrealistic mirror image.

Reality is both cruel and ruthless. It is like a big hand that ruthlessly destroys your hopes and makes you grief-stricken by your ridiculous fantasies...

People will always indulge in fantasy and find it difficult to extricate themselves. Even if they know in their hearts that they are all illusions, they will still deceive themselves and others.

Because if you want to escape from reality and escape from the bloody reality that you don’t want to face, but you have to face it sooner or later, it will make you suffer and regret, and even make you despair.

But reality is reality, and you have to face it sooner or later. There will always be a time when sweet dreams wake up, and letting yourself squander your limited self in Fantasyland will only lead to the dark abyss of despair.

Growing up in adversity and facing reality requires a kind of courage. Courage is not something that everyone is born with. It requires you to come out of the hardships again and again, heal the wounds bit by bit, and sharpen the soul bit by bit, so that you can finally break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly.

…

Instead of blaming yourself, it is better to throw yourself into a more arduous but more difficult bloody battle, and accumulate strength, just to one day be able to avenge your shame. Before that, you must continue to temper yourself...

Bai Yeyu's eyes were shining with fiery energy. He meant what he said. Now that he has made up his mind, he must put it into practice, otherwise it will always be empty talk.

"Xu Chu, why don't you leave? This tunnel extends in all directions. There may still be white ghost spiders wandering around that have not been eliminated. It will be dangerous if you don't return to the station quickly..."

A tall and thin hunter looked at Xu Chu, who was walking at the end, and would look back at Xu Chu at the dark entrance of the tunnel from time to time, shaking his head and whispering.

"They're back..."

Xu Chu didn't look back, he just murmured in a low voice. The tall and thin hunter was stunned. He saw Xu Chu's eyes that always looked listless seemed to be burning with blazing fire, staring at the depths of the tunnel.

"Tick-tock-tock..."

A sound like water droplets splashing, but duller and more powerful came from behind. It was extremely clear in the silent tunnel. Bai Yeyu and the others turned their heads involuntarily.

Those are definitely not white ghost spiders. They come and go without a trace and hardly make too much noise. It is the same as them, the sound of human footsteps!!

"Jiang Yijun is the one who controls them. They are safe and sound!!"

When they saw the true identity of the visitor through the faint luminous minerals on the rock wall, Bai Yeyu and the others were overjoyed.

Just because they were afraid that the response would cause unnecessary trouble, they could only cover their mouths excitedly and speak.

Some military mages and hunters saw that Jiang Yi and the others looked fine, and some even had tears in their eyes. Unexpected things always make people overwhelmed, bad things are like this, and good things are no exception.

"How did you get rid of those ferocious demon spiders? Aren't those Blood Rakshasa and Spider Queens chasing after you!!"

The tunnel was a bit narrow, but the group of people still scrambled to gather together, asking in disbelief how Jiang Yi and the others escaped when facing the monarch!!

"It's hard to describe in words..."

Jiang Yi looked at Ke Ke, Nie Hao, and Xu Huang. They all looked tired and a little helpless. He smiled bitterly, not knowing what to say.

…………

"Woooooooo~~~~~"

A group of burly four-armed black apes were clustered on a giant tree that could be hugged by four or five people. Their eyes were fixed on the entrance of a wide hole, and they were wailing sadly.

The apes cried out three times, and their clothes were stained with tears. Their shrill screams came from the bottom of their hearts, because their leader's life or death was uncertain.

But they had to run away in tears when the leader needed help the most, because they would only become a burden to the leader's heart and prevent him from doing his best to fight against the powerful enemy.

What it is like now, the Dishan Black Apes don't even dare to imagine...

They have already lost their old leader. Are they going to lose another reliable leader? Is it true that the Dishan Black Ape Tribe cannot fight against its fate?

Do they really have no choice but to accept this unfair fate...

"Ho ho ho ho!!!!"

A deafening roar of a dragon interrupted their sorrow, and just as the Dishan Black Apes were stunned, a huge mountain-like creature crawled out of the tunnel.

There were criss-crossed slender wounds on its body, and it was bleeding continuously, but its golden vertical pupils were piercingly bright, and a fierce aura suddenly filled the air.

This is the Rock Scale Demon Jiao. After it separated from Xu Qing and the others, it ran out non-stop looking for the scent of the Mountain Digging Black Ape, just to reassure them.

"Woooooooo~~~~~"

Dozens of mountain-digging black apes jumped down from the giant tree with joy, and soon gathered around the rock-scaled demonic dragon, with tears in their eyes.

"I'm fine. The big revenge will be avenged. This small injury is nothing to worry about. However, many of our compatriots have died, and we cannot let their corpses stay with those demon spiders..."

The Rock Scale Demonic Dragon said in a deep voice, killing the Scar-faced Blood Rakshasa was more of a relief than a relief, but that was only temporary.

Even though he knew that he was a rude person, the rock-scaled demon dragon's heart was quickly filled with heavy sadness. Even the surviving black apes looked sad.

"We're going to take them home..."

The rock-scaled demonic dragon murmured in a low voice, turned around and walked back to the demonic cave where it almost died, followed closely by the mountain-digging black apes. They could not let their dead compatriots become lonely ghosts.

"Boss, I may still not understand the meaning of your words, but now I at least know one thing. If I want to truly gain a foothold in Dongting Lake, I must be strong..."

"Not only do you need to make yourself stronger, but you also need to make your tribe stronger. Only in this way can you gain real peace in Dongting Lake, where the weak and the strong prey on each other..."

Walking in the wide tunnel opened by the Blood Rakshasa, the Rock Scale Demonic Dragon thought silently, its golden vertical pupils revealing unprecedented determination.

It spread out the sharp claws of its right forelimb, revealing a dark green ball that it had held tightly, which it found among the torn corpses of the spider queen.

It doesn't know what it is, but its perception tells it that this is the key to transcending its limits. If it wants to occupy its place in the ever-changing Dongting Lake, it must break the limits of the pseudo-dragon's bloodline...

It must become a monarch, even if it does not have the ambition to conquer the world, but even if it is just for its own tribe, it must make itself strong...

No tribe has any reason to ravage and oppress its compatriots. The old leader died tragically at the hands of the giant lizard and pseudo-dragon. It will not let such a tragedy happen again, so it must make itself a dragon king that can dominate one side...

"Boss, I may have found a goal that I can fight for. Even if it is not for myself, but for the compatriots I cherish, it is also a strong bond that can stimulate myself to become stronger..."

In the mind of the rock-scaled demonic dragon, Xu Qing's burly body stretched out its black dragon wings and soared into the sky. That fearless look was really handsome.

That's the pride of a dragon, flowing with the noble dragon's blood means that you will experience an extraordinary life.

Even if the Rock Scale Demonic Dragon is just a pseudo-dragon with meager bloodline, it cannot insult the pride of the dragon clan.

It vaguely remembered that when his father fought against the Scarface Blood Rakshasa, he tried his best and died with satisfaction...

It had no regrets, and with its arrogance and unyieldingness, it left a deep imprint on the Scarface Bloody Rakshasa's heart, which remains unforgettable even after more than ten years.

I also want to become a powerful dragon like my father who sticks to his honor. Although that day is far away, I am more or less starting to move towards that goal...

It's time to come...

To be honest, I'm a little sleepy now. Coding is really exhausting my brain cells. Although the final part of Dongting Lake has not started yet, I will buffer for it in the next chapter. I will try to finish writing Dongting Lake within ten chapters...
