Chapter 6 - 5: Beasts!
Just as David was preparing to make a somewhat dignified exit, confront his Dragon Mother directly, and demonstrate his value to seize that slim chance of survival, he noticed a flicker of disgust cross the Red Dragon Mother’s face. Then, with a flap of her wings, she pushed off the ground and soared into the depths of the mountain range.
Ah, this... This unexpected survival left everyone utterly astounded.
Only after confirming the Dragon Mother had flown far away did David dare to burst out. He shook the Crimson Ash from his head and body, gasping for air.
Reflecting on his terrifying brush with death still made the back of his head feel a little stiff.
Yet, he still didn’t understand. The Dragon Mother must have at least noticed the Drow’s presence earlier, so why hadn’t she wiped them out?
Pondering this, he instinctively turned his head. His face stiffened, his eyes mirroring the same look of disdain the Dragon Mother had shown earlier.
He saw two Drow survivors, half-buried in a pile of dragon dung, both with their buttocks sticking out. One was even defecating and urinating, resembling maggots squirming relentlessly in a latrine.
If it were me, I probably wouldn’t want to step in my own crap just to kill a couple of maggots either. That would be insane!
Arrogance
Seeing such words frequently appear in his consciousness, especially since each occurrence caused his head to feel uncomfortably swollen, David suddenly had an idea:
Could it be that this Goldfinger of mine is rechargeable? It’s just that I haven’t found the method to use them yet?
