Chapter 3953
The loud whistling of wind passed through them as they fell into the cave. Terror gripped their throats.
It was a bottomless hole; would they die from the fall?
After about ten seconds, they had finally reached the bottom of the cave. They were fortunate, considering that
they had fallen into the puddle of a swamp, breaking their fall.
However, half of the impact was enough for them to see stars. It had almost turned their insides out.
Chester was the first one to get a hold of himself. He looked around and asked, "Is everyone okay?"
At that moment, Chester shivered at the sight of something a short distance away. Dread shot through him.
"We’re alright!" the rest answered.
"What's going on, Brother Chester?" They asked again when they saw the change on Chester's face. They looked
in the direction Chester was staring at; their legs wobbled with fear as panic seeped through them.
A short distance away, hidden in the dark, they were able to trace the outline of an enormous beast.
Measured at about 300 meters, it lay there like a small, breathing mountain. It was covered in scales that were
shades of crimson and charcoal, with two horns attached to its head.
It was a scaled dragon.
Dread fogged their brains as they stood there in a daze of sheer panic.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThey could not believe that a scaled dragon was living inside the mountain behind the
Hidden Hero Sect's altar.
Chester and the rest knew that the scaled dragon was way more powerful and vigorous
than the one they saw ten years ago at the Wild Deserted Secret Region. That scaled
dragon was at its final stage of shedding its scales to transform into a dragon.
"I can't believe that so many people are here in this obscured cave. What a pleasant
surprise!"
A deep, hoarse voice sounded before Chester and the rest could recover from their panic.
Who was that?
Chester, Zoey, and the rest looked toward the source of the sound, and they were stunned
at what they had just witnessed.
The scaled dragon was seen with its bloodthirsty mouth wide open.
"The Hidden Hero Sect has been pretty kind to me lately. They must have known I am
about to transform into a dragon and had sent you here so that I could absorb your
cultivated powers."
The scaled dragon said as its eyes sparkled in anticipation.
D*mn!
The scaled dragon could speak.
Chester, Yvette, Zoey, and the rest were shocked. Devastation dawned on them upon
hearing the scaled dragon's plan.
If their power were to be absorbed by the scaled dragon, they would become useless and
powerless. They would be better off dead if it got to that point.
"Brother Chester!"
Everyone paused in silence for a second before Dax yelled, "We've been wandering in the
world of cultivators for so many years, and we've never been in such an embarrassing
situation before. It's just a dragon. Let's fight it!"
"And if we die here, Darryl will avenge us!"
Zoey and the others agreed.
"That's right; we're united as one! Even if we die, we shall die with dignity!"
"If we die here, Darryl will avenge US for sure."
Everyone spoke in a serious, deadpan face. Their hearts were ablaze with pure rage.
They were supposed to capture Skylar Blanc when they were at the Five Poison Sect's territory, which would have

for his own interests. That meant Skylar had managed to reap all the benefits in the end.
Finally, it caused everyone to be imprisoned in that cave, facing the danger of having their powers absorbed by
the scaled dragon.
"Fine!"
Chester hummed and nodded after a long pause. "Brace for a battle; we can do it!"
Chester tightened his fists in anticipation, ready to fight the dragon with everyone else.
The air shifted as everyone tensed.
However, the scaled dragon, who was about to face the battle of his life, did not seem to have any intention of
fighting back. Its eyes glowed in a puzzling manner.
"Everyone!"
The scaled dragon spoke as it looked at them. "You mentioned a person named Darryl—is it Darryl Darby? What
is your relationship with him?"
The scaled dragon pushed for an answer, his eyes filled with determination.
A while ago, when the scaled dragon got into a critical blockade, Darryl was the one who helped it breakthrough
with his Power of Bird Ancestor. The scaled dragon had regarded him as his savior since then.
That was why the scaled dragon was stirred upon hearing Darryl's name.
