The Dragon That Looked Like Godzilla

Chapter 4 The Dragon

Kobolds Doglu was fleeing in a panic, and there were a few companions with him at his side. Originally, they thought that these humans entering the valley were as easy to deal with as the previous ones, but they didn't expect to pay the price now. There was actually the presence of professionals among those humans!

Doglu was still smug when he smashed the first human's egg - it was a skill he had practised hard, and he still imagined that he would be the first to take credit for the battle. However, the human professionals' easy slaughter made them quickly recognize the situation - especially after the Kobold squad leader who was leading the group was decapitated with a sword. That's when Doglu reacted first and was the first to escape.

Doglu was secretly crying out in his heart - as soon as he ran, all the other Kobolds followed him, and the humans naturally chose to chase after them, in contrast to the sporadic fleeing Kobolds that no one cared about. Doglu switched directions and they followed, but it pissed him off enough. He was tempted to break out in curses, but the humans following close behind made him shut up, burying his head and continuing to run. Doglu must not have heard of the herd effect, he was now the equivalent of the leader, wherever he ran, the scared Kobolds would follow closely.

Faced with a life and death crisis, the Kobolds' undersized brain was utilized to the extreme by Doglu as he desperately pondered how he could escape with his life. To the lair? No, no! The only ones left in the lair were some juvenile Kobolds, even if they went back, they would only completely bring the tribe to destruction! What's more, these human professionals were clearly able to catch up with them, but it seemed as if they had intentionally slowed down their pace, and their purpose was undisguisedly exposed.

Abruptly, he remembered a place where he might be able to escape with his life!

As far as he knew, there was a group of crocodiles inhabiting that waterhole, they had a strong sense of territory and weren't very brainy, so normally Kobolds never went there to get water. If he was able to lure these humans there, perhaps those not-so-bright-brained crocodiles could keep them busy for a while - and that might be his chance to escape.

Although these crocodiles were certainly not a match for the professionals, they were much stronger than the Kobolds, so they were still capable of obstructing them for a while. Doglu couldn't help but feel a little elated at the thought, and at that moment he switched directions and ran in the direction of that pool of water.

The Pack of Blades followed closely and showed joy - the direction of the Kobolds fleeing in front of them was no longer irregular, but rather headed in one direction, which undoubtedly showed that they were scared out of their wits and were going back to their nests!

As for the matter of whether or not the Kobolds had Dragonwrought kobolds or Kobold Warlocks in their tribe, they weren't worried about it.

Because the bigger the tribe of Kobolds the more likely it is for a Dragonwrought Kobold to appear. If it was really that big of a tribe, how could it not be the turn of an ordinary Kobold to be the captain!

Close, close, the watering hole that had been occupied by a herd of crocodiles was close at hand. Somehow, Doglu felt that something was wrong. Obviously, this pool of water was still the same, but Doglu always felt that there was a special kind of faint smell that tickled his heart and mind. However, he could not care so much now, directly shouted a voice, then threw his blood-stained bone stick into the water pool.

Kobolds who followed Doglu to this place also saw this pool of water, and were so scared that they stopped in their tracks - there were more than one or two of their kind who had been dragged down when they were fetching water from this place! They didn't have time to revile Doglu, as if waking up from a dream, they wanted to scatter and flee. However, the humans had already come in for the kill, and the Kobolds were slowly being forced back.

What's going on?

Doglu stared tightly at this pool of water, obviously The smell of blood had already emanated, why didn't these brainless crocodiles appear? He had prepared everything, but the main character never appeared, this feeling made him extremely uncomfortable.

"Chief, this doesn't look like a Kobolds lair, does it? What are they doing here?" One of the only two archers expressed his doubts to the leader of the Pack of Blades Mercenaries.

"I'm not sure, everyone be careful. Perhaps these Kobolds think there's something here that could make them turn the tables!" The leader of the Pack of Blades frowned. According to his experience, these Kobolds did not look like they possessed the existence of a true dragon backstage. However, the lead Kobolds didn't take them to the tribe, which he hadn't anticipated.

"What can a bunch of Kobolds turn the tables with? Could a dragon pop out of this water?"

The crowd's hearts jumped at the words, and they subconsciously looked at the pool of water - the surface of the water was rippling with subtle ripples, and there was nothing special about it, which made them breathe a sigh of relief. The archer also knew that he seemed to have said the wrong thing, and smiled awkwardly as he strung up his bow and arrow, aiming it at the crowd of Kobolds.

The Kobolds had been forced to the edge of the pool of water, and although the crocodiles had not appeared, the Kobolds did not dare to go into the water.

Giant dragons! What a familiar word, Doglu's mind snapped. The faint odour that lingered in his mouth and nose seemed to have an answer as well.

Dragon... Dragon？ Dragon！

Doglu's mind was boiling, instincts from deep within his genes were screaming madly. The originally indistinguishable scent was now unparalleled in its clarity under the amplification of Doglu's brain.

Although Doglu's heart seemed to flip over, he didn't show the slightest break. He thought he understood where the crocodiles from before had gone - but judging from the fact that the dragon hadn't shown its face until now, the one hiding in this pool of water should only be a juvenile.

The human in front of him was getting closer and closer, and he could already clearly see the arrows on the human archers' bows trembling slightly as if they were about to fly out the next moment.

*whooshing*

The arrow flew out, and Doglu's pupils snapped shut, knowing he couldn't hesitate any longer. With a sharp, backward leap, he dove into the pool of water.

He didn't pray for the dragon to show up and save his life - he knew that would be impossible. It would be better to dive into the water without saying a word, and when the humans came over to check, he didn't believe that the unknown dragon would still be able to hold back. However, by actively jumping into the pool of water where the dragon existed, and bringing the young dragon into danger, he didn't know if what awaited him was the dragon's sharp fangs and claws or not.

Exactly, he was betting on it! He was betting that the dragon wouldn't kill him in the first moment. Fortunately, he seemed to have gambled correctly!

The Kobolds that still remained on the shore were quickly killed cleanly. The leader of Pack of Blades casually wiped off the blood on his long sword and looked at the water pool that did not ripple, his gaze somewhat hesitant. Except for that leading Kobold, the other Kobolds were unwilling to jump into the water even to the point of death, this abnormal phenomenon made him feel a little suspicious.

"Chief, there's another one in the water, do you want me to..." The archer who said the wrong thing pulled out the dagger he had with him and wanted to go into the water to end Doglu's life.

"Never mind, it's better for me to go!" The Pack of Blades mercenary leader was silent for a short while. He didn't choose to let the archers go into the water but chose to go himself. Although he didn't know what exactly was in this pool of water, he thought that it wouldn't be too outrageous. In case something happened, the most powerful himself was absolutely able to last until the support of the archers on the shore. He... has confidence in his own strength!

For safety's sake, he didn't take off the leather amour he had with him, he just drew out two short swords with his backhand and plunged into the water with a jerk.

This waterhole wasn't that big, and the water inside was fairly clear. The Pack of Blades mercenary leader soon spotted the Kobolds who were shivering in the water in panic. This made him very relieved, it seemed like he was overthinking things. However, he did not notice that two eyes were quietly revealed in the silt at the bottom of the waterhole.

For this distinctive Kobold, he decided to take him alive - this Kobold couldn't hurt him anyway. Just as he surfaced and prepared to talk to his teammates, he saw the eyes of his teammates who stayed on the shore dilate extremely fast, and their mouths quickly opened wide. At the same time, a palpitating coldness came from behind.

Damn!

After realizing that he had been sneak attacked, the Pack of Blades mercenary leader quickly turned back into the water with his rich experience, while his head was lowered downwards, his foot-long short sword was stabbed behind him by his flung arms, and his legs stomped back at the same time. With this defensive counterattack, no matter what it was that was sneaking up on him behind his back, this set was enough to give him a hard time!

*Clash*

A crisp sound rang out as if it had hit a steel wall. His heart snapped, realizing that even his short sword, which was still of decent quality, had snapped in half. At this time, his head also turned behind him, but only saw a huge mouth that merged down!

*Crunch*

The tough leather amour did not do any good and was bitten into two pieces along with the body.

"... Dragon!" It was only then that the members of the Pack of Blades who remained on the shore shouted out at the top of their lungs.
