"alert!"

Upon seeing something strange happening to his companion, Captain Gabriel immediately became alert and took out the bow and arrow wrapped in the cloth bag behind his back.

The warrior Proto also held a sword and shield to protect everyone, while the witch Jenny came to Simon with a wand, wanting to use magic to check if there was anything abnormal in his body.

"Don't…"

Simon stopped Jenny's movements in a very low voice, and pointed to the top with his eyes: "Look..."

The three of them looked along his line of sight, and suddenly their hearts ached!

I saw a dark thing hanging upside down on the thick beam in the warehouse.

The posture is a bit like a bat sleeping...

But this thing is definitely not a bat!

Even with its wings folded, it is about the same size as an adult dog.

The key is its appearance and characteristics...

It has a spindle-shaped head, four claws curled up close to the body, a long tail curled up to the inside of the bat's wings, and a body of fine scales...

Except for the different colors, this is just like a smaller version of the giant dragon in the back mountain!

"dragon…"

Witch Jenny almost screamed out, but she quickly raised her hand to cover her mouth and looked at the captain with a horrified expression.

Gabriel was also a little confused at this moment.

His mind is indeed smarter than that of ordinary people, but dragons are legendary creatures after all, and their image is deeply rooted in the four kingdoms!

Even though the black-scaled dragon in front of them, which they had never heard of before, was very small, the four of them did not feel that they had any chance of winning.

Simon gestured towards the warehouse door behind him, indicating that everyone should leave the place quietly while the black dragon was asleep, and find a new hiding spot.

Captain Gabriel also agreed with this judgment and winked at the other two people. At the same time, he held his breath and retreated with his back facing backwards, moving bit by bit towards the door.

Just when they were about to slowly open the door and go out, they heard a faint voice coming from above: "Why are you running? Are you afraid that I can eat people?"

The voice is sharp and slightly hoarse, and it doesn't sound like the speech that normal human vocal cords would produce.

It's the dragon talking!

The ups and downs of his tone contain a clear sense of joking, proving that he has rich thoughts and feelings...

This is not something ordinary beasts can possess. The opponent is indeed a legendary creature!

"Surrender! We surrender!"

Gabriel immediately raised the bow in question to show that he had no hostility.

At the same time, he blinked his tail without any trace, which was a signal to Simon on the side.

The latter nodded slightly and was ready to use the [Disappearance Technique].

Simon, who is currently only at the gold level, can barely use the [Disappearance Technique] alone, but if he wants to fight to the death, he might try to disappear with three companions at the same time!

Even if it can only erase the traces for two or three seconds, it can bring some improvement to the inevitable situation!

The witch Jenny, who was almost frightened into cardiac arrest by the "dragon language", gritted her teeth and suppressed her inner fear, secretly preparing to perform the spell.

The soldier Proto moved half a step sideways and blocked Jenny with his fat body.

Having lived ordinary lives in the Storm King's capital for a long time does not mean that their tacit understanding as mercenaries has disappeared. They have all prepared for a fierce battle!

"Surrender...what you are doing does not seem to be called surrender."

The little black dragon hanging upside down on the beam opened its eyes, its orange-red vertical pupils looked down at the four people waiting in formation below, slowly spread its wings and stretched its body.

"Do you want to fight me?"

Gabriel's secret secret was not good. Their actions were already very subtle, but they were still able to see through the other party's thoughts at a glance!

No, to be more precise, the dragon seemed to know what they were doing before he opened his eyes...

Extraordinarily powerful sensory abilities?

"Sorry! We were offended!"

After thinking for a few seconds, Gabriel made a bold decision, threw the bow to the ground, and said sincerely:

"This is the first time we have seen a legendary creature like you up close. We were so nervous that we subconsciously prepared for battle in order to protect ourselves. Please don't blame me!"

Really surrender?

The three companions looked at each other, and out of trust in the captain's judgment, they also dropped their weapons and opened their hands to express that they were no longer aggressive.

They have two gold (third-level tempering) beginners and two silver (second-level tempering) high-level ones. Facing the fifth-level initial level little black dragon, if they are lucky, the assassin Simon among them will theoretically have a chance to escape under cover.

But firstly, Simon would never give up his companions to live alone, and secondly... the status of "dragon" in the minds of the four of them was too high, and they subconsciously overestimated the strength of the little black dragon.

Its level itself is different from that of a real legendary dragon, but with the addition of stereotypes, it is regarded as a "little legend"!

As a result, any preparation for battle seemed ridiculous. Gabriel simply decided to put down his guard and show weakness in time, hoping to use verbal communication to ensure the team's survival.

Legendary creature…

The little black dragon grinned.

It knew that the blue-skinned dragon in the back hill of the royal capital was the real "legend", and its small stature was just a make-up.

But seeing the four people tense up in fear and sweating profusely, it felt that there was no need to explain too much.

According to the master's instructions in his mind, the little black dragon kept his rather oppressive voice and said in a low voice:

"Although I am a black dragon who obeys the orders of the God of Death, I generally do not kill lives easily... as long as the other party does not provoke me."

The four of them breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this. Fortunately, they didn't do anything stupid and aggressive just now!

Gabriel took advantage of the situation and asked respectfully: "God of Death? Is that the same god as the God of God?"

"Yes, but not entirely right."

The little black dragon pretended to be profound and said some ambiguous nonsense. He did not continue the introduction and asked instead:

"Why are you four humans hiding here so secretly? Are you trying to avoid being tracked by someone?"

Not long ago, it was hiding under the wings of the deep-sea dragon in the same sneaky manner, and it was very familiar with the cautious appearance of the four of them.

"us…"

Gabriel paused for a moment.

The God of Death whom the other party served seemed to be in a different camp from the Kingdom of God, so he decided to tell the truth:

"We once participated in a mission and had some conflicts with the army of the Kingdom of God. We were trapped in the city and could not get out. We wanted to wait until the detection network outside was relaxed before leaving..."

"Those endless detection spells are really disgusting!"

The little black dragon cursed in a low voice, and Gabriel's eyes flashed, and he immediately said, "Are you also troubled by the blockade of the Kingdom of God?"

The difference between trapped and troubled quietly elevates the other person's status.

"It's not a big problem, just a little bit of trouble."

The little black dragon blew out a burst of hot air from its nose and hummed proudly: "I can take you out of the city, but I need you to serve the God of Death from now on. How about that?"

"But we..."

Witch Jenny subconsciously didn't want to get involved with the guy who sounded scary, but she was stopped by Simon next to her, who spoke seriously:
Chapter completed!
