Chapter 1470: Chapter 1470: The Challenge

The Green Dragon girl sneered: "Princess, this man is very mysterious. He said a lot, but who knows what’s true. If we just trust him like this and he betrays us, what then? Our current condition is not good. Even if he can be trusted, he wouldn’t be able to handle our enemies."

The Green Dragon Princess smiled faintly: "Didn’t you realize just now that you are no match for him? Besides, if he wanted to harm me, he wouldn’t need to remove the corrosion for me."

"Hmph, that’s because we are restricted and can’t change back to our true forms. Otherwise, I could have killed him with a single breath of Dragon Breath," the Green Dragon girl said unconvinced.

Li Yao laughed: "I’m not alone. If you don’t feel secure, then I’ll call someone else to protect the Princess, how about that?"

The best option would naturally be the Black Dragon Queen, but having just met her and considering she was a queen of the Giant Dragon, he didn’t want to complicate things further since they had obviously been trapped here for a long time and were unaware of the situation outside. Therefore, Li Yao could only summon Prairie Fire.

Prairie Fire appeared, transforming into a small bird, and landed directly on the shoulder of the Green Dragon Princess.

"This is my battle companion, Prairie Fire, whose combat power is not weak. Moreover, it can carry you away in a critical moment. I also have other companions, but it’s not convenient to summon them now. They will appear when needed to ensure the Princess’s safety," Li Yao said confidently. This was not the time for modesty; he had to take on the responsibility.

"I certainly trust you, sir," Yveline said seriously. "In that case, I would entrust you to take me to my people. There will be a generous reward afterward."

"System: Green Dragon Princess Yveline has issued an entrusted mission to you. Completing the mission will increase your prestige with the Green Dragon Clan and you will receive additional rewards."

"System: Main story unexpected side mission triggered, complete the mission to receive corresponding progress rewards."

Li Yao thought to himself that it was indeed so; normal progress was simply too slow. Moreover, his purpose in finding the Green Dragon wasn’t just to get the progress from completing the mission; he harbored greater ambitions. The Green Dragon Clan here would definitely be a great help. With their support, the speed of achieving his extreme ambitions would naturally be swift.

Li Yao naturally accepted, saying, "It would be my honor."

"Then I’ll leave it in your hands, sir," the Green Dragon Princess said politely as she performed a courtesy.

"Then I’ll cancel the Dream Seed now," the Green Dragon Princess said.

Li Yao hurriedly interjected: "Hold on, let me go out first to have a look. If there’s nothing unusual, then the Princess can cancel it."

"Very well, sir. You can leave by grabbing this hanging vine," she said.

Li Yao grabbed the vine, and in a flash of light appeared outside.

"Very cautious, not reckless. Are you relieved now?" the Green Dragon Princess said irritably, glaring at the Green Dragon girl.

"I’m just being careful. The Princess cannot die," retorted the Green Dragon girl sticking out her tongue.

"I was destined to die anyway, so why fear a fight now?" the Green Dragon Princess laughed. "Of course, I also know that Prairie Fire must have other motives, but in this world, there’s no such thing as love without reason, nor hatred without cause. Having other motives may not be to our disadvantage. If he were to act too selflessly, then that would be cause for concern. So for now, we are safe. Once we reunite with our people and heal our injuries, even if he has any excessive demands, it won’t matter. We, the mighty Dragon Clan, can achieve anything," she said.

"The Princess is right. I was being too petty," the Green Dragon girl admitted humbly.

After a while, swaying through the vines, the two saw the Green Dragon Princess pocket the Dream Seeds, and the three of them appeared behind the ruins.

"There are still Earth Spirits patrolling without giving up; how we can leave safely is up to you, sir," said Yveline.

"Naturally, little Fire."

Following Li Yao’s words, the Fire Eagle, in the dim form of a palm-sized shape, flew into the sky.

With the Fire Eagle and Li Yao’s divine sight, it was effortless to guide the two of them.

Upon reaching the outskirts of the ruins, Li Yao even summoned a Spider Tank, allowing the weakened Yveline to sit on it.

Li Yao did not know the direction and could only gallop with the guidance of the Green Dragon Princess, avoiding patrols from a distance or hiding whenever they were encountered, which made for an unobstructed journey and slightly changed the Green Dragon girl’s impression of Li Yao.

After another half hour or more, the group heard the sounds of weapons clashing and combats, and both companions’ faces changed as they hurriedly asked Li Yao what was happening.

"It’s my Guild Army from the outside world fighting the army of the Magma Fortress; the passage ahead is surrounded by a battlefield and cannot be passed through. Is there any other way to bypass this passage?" asked Li Yao.

"No way, taking a detour would waste at least half a day’s time, and the Princess’s injury cannot be delayed; we must return within three hours," said the Green Dragon girl.

"Three hours..." Li Yao was speechless; there were indeed hidden constraints, and if he didn’t make it in less than three hours, his mission would fail. Damn it, half the time has already passed, why didn’t you say so earlier? I would have summoned the Hell Battle Scorpion for faster travel.

"We didn’t mean to hide it from you, and I didn’t set a time limit for you, sir. If taking a detour is not possible, then that’s that," Yveline hesitated before speaking: "Besides, the other party is also a reinforcement from the outside world; is there no way to cooperate and get through?"

Li Yao bitterly smiled: "Your Highness might not know this, but our Guild Armies from the outside world are in competition with one another, and cooperation is not allowed. Moreover, that’s a Chaos Camp army, those Beast Tribe members are extremely barbaric, and they probably won’t care and will instead choose to encircle and kill us. I have quite a few enemies; it would definitely bring trouble to both of you."

Both were at a loss for words; from the concealed hillside, they could indeed see that it was the Beast Tribe, bloodthirsty by nature, and they couldn’t yet revert to their Dragon Clan forms, likely no one would believe them even if they explained.

"If it really can’t be helped, we’ll just have to force our way through. Although it’s challenging, it’s not impossible," Li Yao’s eyes flashed with determination. Although the Green Dragon Princess had said it wouldn’t affect them, there was a time limit, and it would certainly affect the evaluation and impression of him. Now faced with such a challenge, Li Yao wasn’t retreating but instead felt his Blood Boiling with excitement.

"Just keep boasting; how will you break through an army of hundreds of thousands?" the Green Dragon girl mocked.

"Can you say fewer words?" Yveline said helplessly before turning to Li Yao, "Sir, never mind her. Could you explain your plan in detail?"

"Naturally, this time there are just ten thousand soldiers from the Magma Fortress, obviously a search party for your people. Even though they are elite, their numbers are far fewer than ours. I expect the battle could be decided within a quarter of an hour. By then, I will summon some companions again to protect the Princess, while I will personally slay the first forty leaders. Killing at least the first forty will make their Legion disappear. And even if I fail, it will not harm both of you, at worst, we will just have to take a detour."

"If the sir is so confident, naturally, I support you," the Green Dragon Princess said without hesitation.

"In that case, I accept the challenge. Such fiery events that can make my blood boil are rare; I’m actually quite looking forward to it."...
