Chapter 172: Chapter 167: Mark Chapter 172: Chapter 167: Mark The dragon wolves moved through the jungle, and as more and more fierce wolves began to follow, the size of the wolf pack increased. Thus, when the pack moved, the accompanying commotion grew, disturbing more and more creatures.

…

The ground shook continuously, a colossal creature sleeping soundly underground flicked its eyelids but did not open its eyes, just flipped its body impatiently beneath the layer of soil and continued snoozing.

However, a few moments later, the vibrations from the surface didn’t cease but instead grew stronger, giving the impression that the procession on the surface was moving towards the location of its peaceful sleep.

“Who on earth is it?” The giant beast could no longer bear it, after its thick eyelids fought to move a few times, they slowly opened, revealing a pair of apricot-yellow vertical pupils filled with fury.

“Not only are they invading my territory, but they are also disturbing my sleep.” The beast swished its big, long tail, and wherever the tail swept, the soil parted like flowing water.

“Rumble!” The soil stirred, and this giant beast, which hadn’t moved in countless years, began to climb to the surface. It wanted to see what the disturbance was that dared to interrupt its sleep.

“Boom!” The giant beast, its head covered in smooth dark yellow scales, emerged from the ground, two vertical apricot-yellow pupils looked in the direction of the sound, and it saw an oncoming black tide, interspersed with brilliant gold.

“Fierce wolves?” Upon closer inspection, the beast realized what composed the black tide — fierce wolves with blackish-green fur, but, “Why are they so much bigger than I remember?”

“And those with golden fur…” The beast flapped its nostrils a few times, “It’s the smell of Golden Dragons, Dragon Beasts.”

“Hmph, a bunch of uneducated creatures who somehow obtained dragon veins and had the audacity to disrupt my sleep. They’re asking for death.”

Accompanied by the rumbling of the earth, this giant beast crawled out from the ground completely, revealing its massive body, over forty meters long. It was an earth dragon, its dark yellow scales chilly, exuding an intimidating weight like a mountain.

Next, three dark yellow colored rings appeared beneath the Earth dragon’s feet, slowly rotating. It’s thick scales began to emit a yellow light, spreading a heavy pressure like a mountain, and this metaphorical mountain kept growing, expanding in size.

Under this imposing pressure, the ground rippled like water, then, trenches began to spread.

Then, the Earth Dragon’s apricot-yellow vertical pupils looked at the oncoming wolf pack.

“These beasts, they should scatter and flee upon witnessing my imposing presence!”

However, to the Earth dragon’s disbelief, despite conveys its presence rather blatantly, the wolves continued to rush at it, their direction, speed, and formation didn’t falter, as if they didn’t even see it.

“How dare you ignore me?” An emotion called anger rose in the heart of the Earth Dragon.

Each time it awoke from its slumbers and came to the surface, every creature bowed down before it. All beings living on its territory were at its mercy.

However, this time, after getting woken up, and having revealed its presence, this mixed breed wolf pack, the strongest among them merely a golden class mongrel, dared to ignore it?

Did they know what charging at it implied?

It was a Soul Intent Level Earth Dragon, a presence even some Adult True Dragons would avoid.

The Earth Dragon slowly opened its mouth, beneath its feet, dark yellow Soul Intent Circles that conveyed a sense of weight appeared, and it seemed to roar, attempting to showcase its prowess as a Soul Intent Level Dragon Beast.

But then, the Earth Dragon noticed a youth on the mixed breed wolf leading the pack, whose fur had partially turned gold. The youth lifted his eyes, a pair of dazzling golden pupils looking at it.

As Muria’s gaze met the Earth Dragon’s, an overbearing consciousness, as if peering down on all beings, filled with dominance and violence, pounded into the Earth Dragon’s consciousness as a roaring Golden Giant Dragon!

In that moment, the Earth Dragon being watched by Muria, its body hardened, the Soul Intent Circles under its feet flickered for a moment before disappearing swiftly. Then, the Earth Dragon burrowed into the ground at the fastest speed it had ever moved.

By Tiamat above, it finally understood why the wolf pack didn’t fear it. That mixed breed wolf pack, it was hiding a Golden Dragon, and it also was at the Soul Intent Level.

The Golden Dragon enjoys transforming into a human and concealing its presence. It understands this, as most golden dragons in the world like to play these games.

However, what it can’t comprehend is why the strongest golden dragon of the metallic lineage would mix with a bunch of lowly wild wolves, granting them the Dragon Vein, it felt like a betrayal to the dragon race!

And what was that overbearing pressure just now? Why did it feel an urge to submit and worship?

If we are both at the Soul Intent Level, it doesn’t matter if I’m a hybrid Dragon Beast and you’re a purebred golden dragon, we’re on the same level after all. Why do I have an urge to worship? That isn’t right…unless this is no ordinary golden dragon!

Damn it, as I guessed, a normal golden dragon wouldn’t charge wildly through a wild jungle with a pack of wolves.

…

“So cowardly?” Muria sat on the barely ascended Wolf King of Gold Rank, her lips twitching, “You’re certainly a Soul Intent Level Dragon Beast. Fight me before you go!”

Earth attribute creatures are usually conservative, but not to this extent. This Earth Dragon emerged underground, arranged its troops, but before it could roar, it was scared back underground after being glared at with her Dragon Prestige.

“Stop!” When the wolf pack rushed to the location where the Earth Dragon just appeared, Muria commanded the Giant Wolf beneath her to stop. With the Wolf King stopped, all the Dragon-transformed wolves also stopped.

Muria satisfiedly glanced down at the wolf pack that had completely stopped in a moment. A hint of a smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.

Order and prohibition! This wolf pack, formed in just a couple of months, easily achieved this. No matter the breed, wolves are born with great organizational skills and cooperative instincts. This was exactly what impressed Muria.

Moreover, as the dragonization of Giant Wolves in the pack deepens, they are not only growing stronger, but their intelligence is also increasing, making them smarter. These wolves could understand and execute Muria’s various commands even more efficiently.

Muria was seated on the Dragon-transformed Wolf King and gazed down at the big hole left behind by the Earth Dragon burying itself back into the ground. A hint of a smile graced her lips, “It’s rare to encounter a Soul Intent Level Dragon Beast. Can’t let you escape.”

The youth extended her hand, a golden thunderbolt appeared thundering in her palm. Gradually interweaving and extending, a long spear proportional to her current body shape materialized in her hand, brimming with threat—this was one of her nine Exclusive Weapons, the Spear of the Sun Chaser.

Holding the Sun Chaser’s Spear radiating thunderbolts, Muria slightly shifted her palm, pinpointed on the dent on the ground left by the Earth dragon with the spear’s tip, and thrust it into the ground with a jerk.

“Boom!” Accompanied by the booming of the atmosphere, the spear instantly stabbed into the ground, aiming straight for the Earth dragon’s location.

“Howl!” With a full-bodied pained scream from below, Muria’s face showed a satisfied smile.

“Come back, Sun Chaser!” As Muria called out, the golden thunder burst out from the ground and instantly merged into her body.

“Very good, left a mark!” Feeling the faint mark deep underground, Muria patted the back of the Wolf King’s neck, “Let’s go! We will reach Troy’s location in one more day.”

…

Underneath the ground, within an unknown underground cavity, a sturdy Earth dragon looked at the lightning-shaped, blinking golden pattern on the scales of its buttocks with annoyance.

“What does that Golden Dragon want to do with me? I did nothing and ran back.”

“Why did it mark me? Could it be holding a grudge against my initial move? That shouldn’t be, it’s a Golden Dragon, not an Evil Dragon, it can’t be so narrow-minded.”

“Regardless of what that Golden Dragon wants to do with me, I can’t keep this mark.”

The Earth dragon, which appeared somewhat clumsy, had its eyes flash with a lethal intent, it contracted, opened its mouth wide, and bit towards its own buttock…

“Roar! Why won’t it go off?” After a good while, the Earth Dragon with mangled flesh on its buttocks roared out in grief and indignation.
