The Rhinoceros Horn Earth Dragon struggled, propping itself up.
Its lower body, however, remained prostrate on the ground.
It shook its head, its gaze glinting with bloodlust.
Just as everyone thought it would violently pursue Dan Dan You Shang.
It bent its neck and slammed its head against the ground beneath its feet.
Boom...
The earth shook and mountains trembled. This impact sent rocks tumbling down from the cave roof.
What's going on? Chu Tian was thrown off balance by the tremor.
He landed with a look of shock.
This Rhinoceros Horn Earth Dragon was too abnormal.
It was leashed, not chasing anyone, and yet it was smashing its head against the ground?
After this blow, under everyone's watchful eyes, it was evident that.
The Rhinoceros Horn Earth Dragon was about to go berserk, its crazed eyes showing signs of regaining clarity.
Cry...
Suddenly, an eagle's cry echoed from above.
It came from the location where Chu Tian had discovered the creature earlier.
It had been lurking there for a long time.
At this moment, it finally revealed itself to everyone.
It stood on one side of the cave ceiling, its wings spread, spanning fifty to sixty meters.
Its eagle cries continued, echoing into the cave.
On the ground, the Rhinoceros Horn Earth Dragon, previously controlled by the spirit beast collar and on the verge of losing its mind.
Upon seeing its appearance, it suddenly stood up with a whoosh.
Roar...
It tilted its head back, responding to the fierce bird without yielding.
Everyone finally understood how it sustained its injuries.
The giant eagle above was much larger than the Rhinoceros Horn Earth Dragon.
It was clearly not a creature to be trifled with. If it descended, the Rhinoceros Horn Earth Dragon's health would be insufficient.
If it died, all their efforts today would be in vain.
[Po Zhan] stared at the creature overhead, his eyes filled with unwillingness.
But he knew that if that creature came down, their group of so many people would suffer heavy losses.
The Rhinoceros Horn Earth Dragon was already injured to that extent; how could they resist?
He scanned the surroundings, his face grim, gritting his teeth until his eyes felt like they were bleeding, and forced out a sentence.
"Retreat... all personnel, withdraw from here quickly..."
He shouted this, as if all his strength had been drained.
He slumped like a deflated balloon.
"Boss..."
"Guild Master..."
Many members spoke up, but hesitated.
They all knew that [Po Zhan]'s decision was correct.
Everyone in the cave looked up, alert to the avian creature.
Only Chu Tian, transformed and lying on the ground, might have a different perspective.
He discovered something unusual beneath the Rhinoceros Horn Earth Dragon's belly as it stood up.
There was a pit, and within it were... dragon eggs...?
Chu Tian's heart leaped with joy.
No wonder it refused to get up, even at the cost of its life.
After all this effort, this dragon was a female!
However, Chu Tian only discovered this for a fleeting moment.
[Po Zhan], preparing to retreat, glanced back at the Rhinoceros Horn Earth Dragon, which was on the verge of berserk and sanity.
His gaze swept over, first showing a hint of surprise, then, like Chu Tian, immense joy.
Dragon eggs... three of them...
"Stop, everyone focus fire, kill the Rhinoceros Horn Earth Dragon for me."
Roar...
Just as his command was given, the Rhinoceros Horn Earth Dragon could no longer resist the power of the spirit beast collar.
It... completely berserked, and at the same time, its health instantly recovered from one percent to ten percent.
A full six hundred thousand health points.
It's over...
Seeing this, [Po Zhan] almost collapsed.
The Rhinoceros Horn Earth Dragon identified its direction.
It stamped its foot and initiated a charge.
It headed straight for [Dan Dan You Shang], who had just reached the corner of the entrance.
The group, who were already retreating, was caught off guard by the sudden charge of the Rhinoceros Horn Earth Dragon.
A large number of personnel were concentrated at the cave entrance, and the Earth Dragon's charge was a complete sweep.
It charged forward, unimpeded, sending members of the Xiao Tian Guild flying and falling. Thousands perished under this charge.
If they hadn't been retreating, the formation and concentration of the Xiao Tian Guild would not have been so chaotic.
The shield warriors, standing ready, would not have been in this state.
And because of [Po Zhan]'s sudden change of command, to instantly kill the Rhinoceros Horn Earth Dragon.
It caused everyone to pause, turn, and look in surprise... not understanding why their leader had gone back on his word.
And what awaited them was the 'horn' on the Rhinoceros Horn Earth Dragon's nose.
[Dan Dan You Shang], having run fast, had already passed the corner.
The Rhinoceros Horn Earth Dragon, after smashing into the wall, finally halted its charge.
Seeing this, [Po Zhan]'s heart bled. He had lost over two thousand people in this single move.
[Dan Dan You Shang] was now blocked outside the entrance, with only a few people outside.
Facing this berserk Earth Dragon alone, he had no chance of winning.
Let alone lasting forty minutes, even lasting four seconds would be considered good.
Most of the Xiao Tian Guild members were still inside the cave.
From this corner to the outside cave mouth, there was a straight distance of over three hundred meters.
The Earth Dragon's body completely blocked the entrance. Only when it moved would the Xiao Tian Guild members be able to pass.
And the straight distance, charging...
One could imagine [Dan Dan You Shang]'s fate.
It would be good enough to keep his eggs from being crushed!
[Po Zhan] knew that this was not the time to grieve.
There were still three dragon eggs. As long as he obtained them, he could not only compensate for the losses but also make a fortune.
The idea was good, but reality was cruel.
Cry...
And the large bird in the sky, an unknown creature, let out a cry.
Its head lowered, wings tucked, like an arrow, it pounced down fiercely.
Its target was also the dragon eggs!
At this moment, Chu Tian was closest to the dragon eggs.
Moreover, he had been guarding against this strange bird all along.
He realized that after the Rhinoceros Horn Earth Dragon went completely berserk, it began to pursue the person who had fitted it with the collar.
This strange bird's gaze had not changed direction.
Its focus was on the dragon eggs, not the Earth Dragon itself.
Chu Tian guessed that the Rhinoceros Horn Earth Dragon was injured because it was extremely weak after laying its eggs.
This strange bird had attacked, intending to steal the eggs.
The Rhinoceros Horn Earth Dragon, dragging its weakened body, protected the vulnerable dragon eggs, which was why it was injured.
Otherwise, how would a bird dare to attack the dragon race, let alone injure an Earth Dragon with such high defense?
Although this Earth Dragon seemed like a mixed breed.
But it was still a dragon. The dragon's majesty and aura were enough to scare away most creatures.
Currently, Chu Tian was about ten meters away from the dragon eggs.
While the giant bird in the sky was hundreds of meters above the ground.
[Po Zhan] was even further from the dragon eggs.
Over forty meters away, so this time, he was destined to be a spectator.
There was no chance for him to become a contender.
Moreover, as the giant bird swooped down, he hesitated again.
It wasn't that he didn't want to rush forward to snatch them.
It was because he saw the giant bird's speed and knew he had no chance.
He, who was originally a decisive person, had his plans thrown into disarray by various sudden situations today.
A feeling of helplessness and dejection arose within him.
