Chapter 161: Chapter 9: Was This Data Entered by Feet?

The video was still playing, but this time, the perspective was no longer on the Black Dragon.

Clearly, the filmer was now busy escaping, his steps large, and with his chest-mounted sports camera also violently swinging, causing Miss Rabbit watching the screen to feel somewhat dizzy.

However, soon, the silhouette of another person appeared in the frame.

The filmer caught up in three large steps, and then he drew the War Axe from his waist and chopped at the person’s lower leg.

"..."

Seeing this, many inside the room couldn’t help but frown.

Even knowing Jude had recruited those mercenaries to act as bait, using others to distract the Evil Dragon to escape was one thing; personally making the move was quite another.

Especially since Jude’s actions in chopping were very swift and smooth, without any hesitation, as if the mercenary running in front of him was not his own kind, but just a pig, a sheep, or some other livestock.

That kind of deep-seated disregard for life made everyone present feel somewhat uncomfortable.

So, when they saw him fall into a mud pit, many were not worried for him but rather felt somewhat pleased.

However, as the Black Dragon appeared again, Ireya and others couldn’t help but be curious about how the ugly-faced man would escape from such a dire situation.

Then came the three lizard people, with Li Yu’s homemade smoke bombs working wonders, creating a great amount of white smoke in a short time, blinding the monstrous creature’s eyes.

However, the good times didn’t last long, as the Black Dragon quickly flapped its wings, dispersing the smoke.

At this, Miss Rabbit couldn’t help but gasp, muttering, "This... this is too cunning!"

It wasn’t just her; others who saw this scene also looked quite unhappy, even Li Yu rarely furrowed his brows.

He had thought that being able to live two to three hundred years and having strength and speed surpassing humans made the Half-Beast already too much.

But compared to the Black Dragon in the video, the Half-Beast’s superior attributes were nothing; the former seemed as if it had been designed with inflated stats, with its attributes visibly out of balance.

Not only was its physical talent unmatched, but its intelligence was clearly far superior to that of ordinary wild beasts.

As the lizard people sacrificed themselves one after another to give Jude a chance to escape, the room fell silent again.

Even though they didn’t particularly like these lizard people, the people of the Arias family had to admit their significant role in this expedition.

Especially having just witnessed Jude decisively injuring a companion to save his own life, the performance of these lizard people was even more admirable.

Yet, despite the entire team’s efforts, the one who ultimately survived was still that utterly unscrupulous villain, which left a sour taste in many mouths.

Just when everyone thought Jude had finally escaped danger, nobody expected that the Black Dragon would chase after him again.

Ireya seemed to think of something, suddenly turning back to look at the figure in the corner, coldly saying, "So, to save your own life, you ultimately sacrificed Black Beauty?!"

The ugly-faced man did not respond.

However, the him in the video, after a brief moment of panic, made a decision and said to his big black dog, "Run separately! Leave it to fate!"

After speaking, he ignited the last small canister in his hand.

The white smoke quickly rose again, obscuring both man and dog, and afterward, Jude did not continue running east but instead turned around and retreated toward the direction the dragon came from.

No matter how much they disliked him, people had to admit that the ugly-faced man had made a smart choice.

Unfortunately, he was too close to the Black Dragon this time, and it, having noticed him just as he emerged from the smoke, spread its wings and flew into the sky once again.

It must have been circling above the area shrouded in smoke, so as soon as Jude ran out of the white smoke, he was spotted.

The Black Dragon descended from the sky, coming face-to-face with Jude.

Its blue pupils stared unblinking at the ugly-faced man.

The remnants of the Enríquez family reckoned they were done for, and since the Dragon Seeking Team members were all dead, there was no one left to save him.

Juan’s arm had already been tended to and bandaged, and he was now inside the house with everyone else watching the footage Jude had brought back. Seeing several people looking at him, the Squire Knight shook his head, "Not me, I met him later in a forest."

As his voice faded, several dog barks could be heard in the video.

What followed was a large black dog heroically rushing out of the white smoke, not hesitating to pounce toward the beast many times larger than itself!

Jude burst out swearing, shouting Black Beauty’s name as he urged the loyal dog to come back, while he also rushed forward.

Without a weapon, the ugly-faced man could only pick up a random stone from the ground.

However, before he could get close to the dragon, the latter took a deep breath, its skin from the neck to its chin turning faintly red.

The next moment, it opened its mouth, and a terrifying flame engulfed everything around it!

Jude, merely grazed by the side of the column of fire, felt an unbearable heat and instinctively stretched out an arm in front of him, after which his sleeve ignited, let alone the first-line Black Beauty.

The ugly-faced man let out a roar, recklessly wanting to throw himself into the dreadful flames.

But then the Black Dragon made a move that took everyone by surprise.

It used one of its wings to block Jude’s chest, flipping him onto the ground and pinning him firmly there.

Afterward, it did not kill Jude as it had with the others.

Instead, it tilted its head, carefully examining this last prey, the one that had cost it the most effort.

The ugly-faced man continued to struggle and curse, using the vilest language of this world, even picking up stones and clods from the ground to throw at the Black Dragon.

But eventually, the Black Dragon just looked at him deeply, then released the wing pressing on him, turned around, and disappeared back into the swamp.

"Why?" Ireya stared in shock, asking Jude, "Why didn’t the dragon kill you?"

"Maybe it prefers to watch him suffer in his current state?" Fosto speculated, "That dragon is highly intelligent; perhaps it also knows some ways to torment people."

"No," Li Yu interjected, "It’s because of his identity."

"Identity, what identity?"

"Look here," Li Yu rewound the video to the moment just before the Black Dragon left, pressing pause, "Notice where its gaze falls."

Everyone watched closely as instructed by Li Yu and indeed noticed that the dragon’s gaze finally fell on Jude’s arm.

The clothes on that arm had been burnt away by the flames, revealing the scales underneath.
