nMia suddenly felt a chill.

nIt was as if she had been targeted by a poisonous snake, and she felt as if the temperature around her had dropped to 0 degrees.

nMia hurriedly looked around, but even from her birds’ eye view from the sky, she could not find any sign of humans.

nAs a result of Gallio’s lethal black fog, none of the soldiers had survived, and all Mia could see was dead bodies littered everywhere.

nOther than gusts of wind mixed with the aura of death within them, Mia could not find anything else.

nRight as Mia had let her guard down after assuming that she was hallucinating, a blazingly fast ballista bolt shot at her!

nWhoosh!

nThe bolt was pitch black and razor sharp!

nThe arrow pierced through Mia’s dragon scales, and it had ruthlessly left a bloody trail on her body.

n

nMia’s body was very frail. Without Max’s protection, the chances of her surviving to adulthood were very low.

nIt was at this moment that Mia finally reacted. The bolt that was launched at her was an inferior version of the Dragon-vanquishing Bolt.

nThe inferior version consisted of inferior materials, and thus, its strength was greatly reduced. Had it not been for Mia’s weak body and her weak dragon scales, the inferior version would not have harmed her in the first place.

nMia was shocked. She looked around in fear.

nHowever, there was still no signs of movement around her!

n‘An enemy is here!’

n‘They’ve discovered my location!’

nMia was terrified. She wanted nothing more than to flee the scene, however, the instructions Max had given her earlier still rang clearly in her mind.

n‘Unless the situation is urgent, do not leave your hiding spot.’

nOf course, if Max was beside Mia at this moment, he would definitely tell her to flee.

nHowever, Mia did not share the same opinion. After all, she worried that if she fled, she would be surrounded by enemies or she might even fall into a trap.

nWorse still, she might even be separated from Max.

nMia widened her eyes in an attempt to locate her attacker.

nHowever, even after pushing her magic perception to the max, she could not sense anything in her surroundings.

nMia started to get nervous. She looked around in panic, and she felt as if her heart was stuck in her throat.

nAlthough Max could ignore the previous bolt and remain unscathed, Mia would be severely injured if hit.

nThe enemy was hidden in the dark. Not knowing where her enemy would strike had terrified her.

nMia’s enemy was obviously very patient. They were in no hurry to deal with Mia. After all, they were not even worried that she would escape.

nIt was as if Mia was dancing on the palm of their hand.

nIn the desert, under the glow of the moonlight, a faint reflective crystal glinted.

nIt was from Bloom’s ballista, who was currently hiding underneath the sand.

nThrough the bolt he had fired earlier, he had gained a grasp of Mia’s defensive ability.

nHe adjusted the next inferior Dragon-vanquishing Bolt and began calculating the angle and air resistance.

nHe planned to kill Mia with a single shot.

nBloom had picked up a completely unused Dragon-vanquishing Bolt from the remaining Dragon-vanquishing Ballista.

nVia the cannon he had prepared, Bloom would be able to unleash a powerful Dragon-vanquishing Bolt at close range.

nHowever, upon firing, there was a high probability that his cannon would be damaged due to the inferior materials he used to create it.

nHe still needed to save the cannon to use his Dragon-annihilation Missile!

nThus, unless it was absolutely necessary, Bloom did not want to waste the Dragon-vanquishing Bolt.

nThrough various calculations, Bloom had already determined Mia’s defensive ability.

nTo give an analogy, Mia was like a tiger.

nAlthough she had a certain amount of firepower, in front of absolute power, her defense was no different from a thin piece of paper.

n“Air resistance accounted for, deviation of trajectory has also been calibrated.”

nBloom opened one of his eyes and said slowly.

nHe had already locked onto Mia with the crossbow in his hand.

nMia seemed to have a sixth sense. Her huge body suddenly trembled.

nShe looked behind her, and to her surprise, there was something coming at her from the ground!

nIt was travelling at breakneck speed and it would not be long before it would reach her!

nAlthough shocked, Mia hurriedly flapped her wings to dodge. However, as she was rather weak when it came to combat, her wings were still pierced by the bolt, even though she had seen the shot clearly!

nSlash!

nA small hole of about three centimeters appeared on her wings. Fresh blood continuously flowed out from it!

n“Roar!”

nMia cried out in pain and hurriedly prepared to dodge.

nHowever, the next inferior Dragon-vanquishing Bolt had already arrived!

nThe inferior version of the Dragon-vanquishing Bolt was made out of metal. Although its firepower was lacking compared to the actual Dragon-vanquishing Bolt, it was still a powerful weapon capable of inflicting great damage to large beasts.

nNaturally, Dragon Hatchlings had fallen under this category as well.

nHad it not been for the Adult Black Dragon’s abilities that Max had consumed, the inferior Dragon-vanquishing Bolt would give him quite a bit of trouble as well.

nWhoosh!

nAnother terrifying bolt was shot out. In the dim darkness, it was like the scythe of the Grim Reaper!

nThis time, the target of the arrow was surprisingly Mia’s neck!

nShould this bolt hit Mia’s neck, she would immediately lose the ability to breathe.

nIn other words, she would die!

nEven if Mia wanted to escape, or if Max wanted to come back and save Mia, it would be too late!

nMia saw the ice-cold bolt rapidly magnifying in her vision and could not help but shiver.

nThe memories she had inherited had instinctually caused her to release her Lightning Dragon Breath at the bolt!

n

n

nThis was a subconscious reaction, and even Mia herself was not aware of what she had done!

nRoar!

nBoom!

nThe Lightning Dragon Breath struck the inferior Dragon-vanquishing Bolt, causing the bolt to shatter, and allowing Mia to narrowly escape death.

nIt was at this moment that Mia had discovered Bloom’s hiding spot. In response, she glared at him and let loose a ferocious roar!

n“You are quite formidable. To think that you’ve discovered my position.”

nBloom crawled up from the sand and patted the sand off his body.

nHis mechanical right arm flickered with an intense light!

nIn the dark night, it was as bright as the stars!
