After the three flying dragons were killed. The red dragon got up and walked towards those green flying dragons. It chose to eat only the important parts of them. As for the remaining parts, it spat out the fire to burn them down.

"It must have planned it from the beginning. Fortunately, I didn't rush into it at first. Otherwise, I would have been trapped like those three green flying dragons!" Zheng-Fu was relieved that he decided to wait and watch this red dragon's moves until he finally realized that was its trap.

Thud!

After it finished dealing with the three green flying dragons, it went back to lying down in the exact same place as before.

Huh?

"Maybe it wasn't waiting for its prey, but watching over those people, waiting for its friends to come. Because judging by the number of people there, it would not be possible for it alone to take them all if it wanted to bring them to the Dragon King of this secret land!' At that moment, Zheng-Fu came up with something. He thought that this red dragon was watching these people, showing that it was here alone.

Huh!

"If there's only one here... I have a chance. At least if I get a soul monster from it, it's definitely worth a try!" After pondering for a moment, Zheng-Fu decided to fight against this red dragon.

Flop!!!

Wooooooosh!!!

Zheng-Fu did not hesitate to gradually move closer to the red dragon. He tried to do it as quietly as possible so that the red dragon would not notice. If he could get three to five steps closer to it, then the winner would definitely be him.

Ten meters...

Six meters...

Three meters...

Two meters...

Thud!

Whoosh!

As Zheng-Fu approached it within two meters, the red dragon suddenly opened its eyes as if it sensed something wrong was approaching it. But when it looked around, aside from those humans and half-monsters lying on the ground, there was nothing but emptiness.

Flop!!!

'That was close! This dragon is really sensitive to its surroundings. I just accidentally farted lightly, but it could feel it. It must be like what they say that the smell of our gas can kill us if we aren't careful when passing wind where we shouldn't,' Zheng-Fu even secretly wiped the sweat on his forehead.

But when everything returned to normal, Zheng-Fu slowly moved closer to the red dragon once again. He slowly took one step at a time for safety. At the same time, he was always ready. But suddenly...

Grrrooaannn!!!

Roooaaar!

'Damn it! Why are you guys coming back now!'

At that moment, before Zheng-Fu could do anything, the roars of dragons descending from the sky sounded. Before dozens of huge figures landed, stopping not far from the red dragon. This new herd of dragons was similar in appearance to the red dragon. Only their energy levels were one level lower.

Roooaaar!

Roooaaar!

They made noises as if they were talking. And beneath their claws were several humans and half-monsters, both male and female. They were still alive, just fainted like those lying on the ground.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

After they spoke for a while, those new red dragons threw humans and half-monsters to the ground beside the guarding red dragon. Before they flew up and disappeared into the sky.

'They're actually just bringing victims to this guy. Fortunately, they were gone. If they were still here, I could only leave them like this. I wouldn't be able to help them!' Zheng-Fu was relieved to see over ten first-level Deity Soul stage red dragons flying away because he would not be able to fight them all at once.

Thud!

When they left, the red dragon that watched out there came back to sleep peacefully in its place. As for Zheng-Fu, he was now only four steps away from it. Being so close to it without it even realizing was good luck and a chance for him to deal with it.

Three steps... Two steps... One step!

Huh!

"Goodbye, red dragon!"

Whoosh!!!

Slash! Slash! Slash!!

Roooar!

As Zheng-Fu moved one step closer to it, he did not hesitate to unleash flying daggers that pierced through its weakest parts. This sudden attack caused the red dragon's face to change color and immediately turn around to find out what had happened. But everything was too late. The flying daggers flew through its body and severed its vital parts causing it to die instantly.

Thump!!!

"If I had to fight it directly, I wouldn't be able to defeat it so easily. I can kill it because it didn't even notice. Sigh! I really don't want to do this. But it has hostages, so I have to do everything carefully!" Zheng-Fu said in a slightly saddened tone at the red dragon killing method he used. However, his face had a smile at the corner of his mouth that completely contradicted his words.

Wooooooosh!!!

In order to not cause any trouble, Zheng-Fu immediately sucked this second-level Deity Soul stage red dragon's body into his dimensional space. And as he was sucking its body, he found a red soul floating above it.

"Is this your spirit monster soul? Umm! As expected of the Deity Soul stage spirit monster's soul. The energy waves that it emits are truly remarkable. It would be great if I could combine it with a weapon or armor. Or... merge with my body... Can I!?" Zheng-Fu was very pleased to get this red dragon spirit monster's soul because there was very little chance of anyone getting their souls. Most of them tended to disappear because no one could catch them in the extended battles.

After storing the red dragon's body and soul, Zheng-Fu turned his attention to the bodies of humans and half-monsters lying on the ground. Everyone seemed to have been drugged which caused them to faint and their energy to run low.

"Should I awaken them now or store them in my dimensional space first? If I wake them up now, this forest will surely be in great chaos. So, just keep them for now. Wait for me to get out of here then wake them up!" Zheng-Fu hesitated because he was afraid that when these people woke up, they would cause a mess and make the situation worse. He, therefore, chose to store everyone in his dimensional space.

Wooooooosh!!!

After that, Zheng-Fu surveyed the surrounding area. Before he found the rare herb, Red Dragon Scale Plant, a seventh-level herb used to concoct seventh-level divine medicine.

"So, this red dragon sleeps guarding these Red Dragon Scale Plants too. Ha ha ha! I'm really lucky. Not only did I get your soul monster and your body, but also these three seventh-level herbs. Hmm, then I'll make merit and send it to you!"

Zheng-Fu thanked the red dragon with an evil smile. He always showed this expression when he encountered good things, and he liked them so much.

Wooooooosh!!!

"Better hurry back to the ancient building. I have been out for too long; Yi-Lin and her junior disciples will suspect me. And if they wander around, they may encounter the other red dragon monster herds!" Zheng-Fu immediately returned to the ancient building.

Whoosh!!!

Crack!!!

"Who's that? Appear now!"

"It's me!"

"Zheng-Fu? Where did you disappear to? You know, we've agreed that if you don't return in the next few minutes, we'll go out looking for you!" When Yi-Lin saw that the one who came was Zheng-Fu, her stern face brightened, and a slight smile appeared. This meant that she was relieved and happy to see him back.

"Oh! I already told you that I can take care of myself, but, fortunately, you guys didn't go looking for me. Otherwise, I'll have a headache finding you guys too!" Zheng-Fu's face was slightly shocked when he heard Yi-Lin's words. Before he sighed with relief that he returned in time.

"By the way, what did you find? Why have you gone so long?" Yi-Lin changed the topic. But she could not help blushing embarrassedly. Because she was the one who convinced her junior sisters to go look for Zheng-Fu.

"Over there, there really is a Deity Soul stage dragon spirit monster. But now it's gone. However, we'll not go that route. Because I'm afraid it'll come back!" Zheng-Fu did not want to say that he already defeated the red dragon and also found disciples from other sects.

Umm!

"But why do I smell blood from you? Or have you got hurt!" Although Yi-Lin did not suspect Zheng-Fu's words, she could smell the blood from Zheng-Fu's body and asked worriedly.

Ah!

"I suspect I have been scratched by a wood chip or something. It's all right!" Zheng-Fu forgot to think about this. In killing the red dragon earlier, although he did not fight it so fiercely that it spurted blood, he was close enough to it that the blood would splatter on him.

A wood chip?

Umm!

"If it's so, that's fine. By the way, where are we going next?" Yi-Lin seemed to know that Zheng-Fu was lying to her, so she did not want to ask him anything more. Probably, Zheng-Fu lied to make them feel comfortable and not think too much. It was possible that the dragon actually did not escape but was killed by Zheng-Fu.

"We'll change to another route. I think this route should be safe as well," said Zheng-Fu. He realized that Yi-Lin had caught his lie, but he did not mind if she knew this. As long as she did not know about the disciples from the other sects that were captured.

Umm...

Afterward, Zheng-Fu led the young woman's group down another route that he thought would also be safe.
