Chapter 349: Chapter 349: Faye’s Feeling, the Appearance of the Earth Dragon

Rumble!

The ground shook, and countless bits of dust fell from the top of the tunnel.

Marcus looked serious as he moved through the darkness toward the yellow-brown light ahead.

"Captain, what happened? Was that an earthquake?" one of the soldiers finally asked.

Marcus did not answer. He just kept urging them, "Quick, keep up with Aiden!"

At once, a bad feeling rose in the hearts of the Red Dwarves royal guard soldiers.

By this time, Aiden had already reached the Grey Rat Monster, which had stopped digging the tunnel.

"Shh." The Grey Rat Monster made a gesture for silence.

Aiden did not know what was happening, so he immediately took a deep breath and focused on sensing the area carefully.

But strangely, everything around them was completely quiet. Even the insects in the soil had curled up and were not moving at all.

"Don’t make too much noise. We’ve run into an Earth Dragon," the Grey Rat Monster said in a very low voice, so low that it was almost impossible to hear clearly.

Earth Dragon?

Aiden’s eyes showed a hint of confusion. The shaking had indeed come very suddenly, but he had not sensed any danger.

Still, when facing something he did not understand, Aiden usually chose to listen to others first.

"Mr.Aiden, we should go back the way we came and leave this place first." At that moment, Marcus finally caught up to Aiden.

Like the Grey Rat Monster, he spoke in a very low voice, as if he feared that speaking too loudly would cause something bad to happen.

When Aiden heard Marcus’s words, he frowned at once.

Brock is in danger right now. If they go back the way they came, and the Grey Rat Monster still can’t tell the right direction, then by the time he finds Brock, Brock may already be dead.

"What exactly is an Earth Dragon? Is it very dangerous?" Aiden asked in a low voice.

He did not want to turn back.

The Grey Rat Monster explained quietly that an Earth Dragon was a special kind of the Abyss creature. It spent its whole life underground, absorbing all kinds of energy from the earth. Only when it reached its peak would it begin looking for a mate. Once it found one, it would break out of the ground.

"That shaking just now was the Earth Dragon’s mating signal. I’m absolutely sure of it," the Grey Rat Monster said confidently.

It also said that, according to Legendary, Earth Dragons came from the AbyssDragon Clan, but had been cast out.

Marcus then added in a low voice, "Earth Dragons are very powerful. Every adult one has strength comparable to a Demon Duke."

"And if our luck is really bad, and we run into one of the stronger Earth Dragons, then its power may even reach Demon God rank."

"If we catch the Earth Dragon’s attention, we’re finished."

"So, Mr.Aiden, for your safety, we should go back the way we came."

Earth Dragons came from the AbyssDragon Clan?

Aiden completely ignored Marcus’s second warning. All his attention was on the part of the Legendary about the Earth Dragon.

Because Aiden thought of Faye!

Faye was a Heaven-Devouring Mystic Dragon, and in the AbyssDragon Clan, the Heaven-Devouring Mystic Dragon was the strongest Dragon Clan, as well as the leader of the Dragon Clan.

"Why not ask Faye?" Without any hesitation, Aiden directly summoned Faye.

Before doing so, he moved half of his body out of the soil and into the tunnel.

Soon, with a flash of light, Heaven-Devouring Mystic DragonFaye blinked in confusion.

"Master..." Faye had just spoken when she suddenly stopped.

It was as if she had sensed something. She turned her head and looked in the direction where the Grey Rat Monster had been digging before.

"That’s strange. It feels like there are a lot of familiar auras over there," Faye said in confusion.

When Aiden saw Faye’s reaction, he immediately felt a little relieved.

Since Faye had sensed something, there might still be a way out. After all—

Wait!

A lot of familiar auras?

Aiden was shocked. Could it be that there were many Earth Dragons nearby?

Just as Aiden was about to ask Faye more carefully, the ground shook again.

This time, the shaking was even stronger!

Marcus and the Red Dwarves soldiers felt like they were standing on a fishing boat in the middle of a storm. If the tunnel had not been so narrow, they might have already fallen over.

"Master, they’re here," Faye suddenly said.

In an instant, the atmosphere became extremely tense.

Marcus and the Grey Rat Monster widened their eyes, and panic flashed across their faces as they quickly asked, "The Earth Dragon is coming here?"

"Damn it! We shouldn’t have caught their attention!"

Marcus, the Grey Rat Monster, and the other Red Dwarves royal guard soldiers all became flustered at once.

Inside such a narrow tunnel, even if they wanted to fight back, they would be under huge restrictions. One wrong move, and they could become food for the Earth Dragon.

"Captain, what do we do? Let’s run!" one Red Dwarves soldier said with a terrified face.

Marcus took a deep breath and turned his eyes to Aiden. Even at a time like this, Aiden still looked very calm.

At that moment, excitement and anticipation suddenly appeared in Faye’s big golden eyes.

"Master, Master, I can feel it. It seems like they’ve come to welcome me," Faye said quickly.

Aiden gently reached out and patted Faye on the head, then asked in a low voice,

"Will there be any danger?"

If there was danger, he would immediately cancel the summon and send Faye back into the pet space.

Faye firmly shook her head. "Probably not. I have a strange feeling, but it’s hard to explain."

"Subjects?"

"Yes, they seem to be my subjects!"

The moment he heard that, Aiden relaxed a lot. It seemed that the Legendary was true after all. Earth Dragons really did come from the AbyssDragon Clan.

As for Marcus, the Grey Rat Monster, and the other Red Dwarves royal guard soldiers, they all stared at Faye in shock and disbelief.

"Did I hear that wrong?"

"That’s an Earth Dragon!" some of the soldiers whispered.

It was not that they did not believe it. The idea was simply too unbelievable.

The reason Marcus had sensed danger so quickly was because he had seen an Earth Dragon riot before.

If a large number of Earth Dragons appeared, then even Demon God rank experts among the Red Dwarves could only choose to keep their distance from them.

"Mr.Aiden, could your pet be mistaken?"

"Earth Dragons are the most dangerous the Abyss creatures in this underground area," Marcus asked hesitantly.

If they made the wrong judgment, then what waited for them would be a very dangerous outcome.

Aiden glanced at Faye and saw her nod, showing that her feeling was not wrong.

"I trust Faye. You can fall back first. If danger really appears, I’ll cover your retreat," Aiden said. He had no intention of asking Marcus and the others to stay.

Trusting Faye was his choice.

It was only natural for Marcus, the Red Dwarves royal guard soldiers, and the Grey Rat Monster to feel that what Faye said was completely impossible.

"You should go first," Aiden said again.

Marcus hesitated for a moment, then turned to the teammates behind him and said,

"Retreat!"

The Red Dwarves soldiers did not hesitate at all. They turned around at once and headed back the way they had come.

But Marcus stayed where he was and did not move.

He took a deep breath, turned back again, and moved through the narrow tunnel until he was beside Aiden. He said nothing.

As for the Grey Rat Monster, his eyes suddenly sharpened, and his body began to swell slightly. Soon, some sticky liquid started to flow out from the pores of his skin.

In the next moment, a smell like rotten mud filled the entire tunnel.

The Grey Rat Monster quickly rubbed his body against the tunnel wall, covering himself with dirt at once.

"This is a special ability of our Grey Rat Monster race. By using the liquid we secrete, we can disguise ourselves as mud and hide from danger," the Grey Rat Monster explained in a low voice.

When Marcus smelled the scent in the tunnel, his brows immediately tightened. His body bent forward slightly, as if he were about to gag.

Aiden, however, did not react much. To him, the smell from the Grey Rat Monster was actually not that bad. It was not especially unpleasant.

After seeing Marcus’s reaction, Aiden thought to himself, "No wonder the Red Dwarves dislike Grey Rat Monster so much."

Soon, the shaking of the ground became more and more frequent, and the force of it grew stronger and stronger.

About three or four seconds later, the shaking suddenly stopped, and everything around them became extremely quiet.

This strange silence made Marcus and the Grey Rat Monster extremely nervous.

Buzz!

An invisible wave suddenly appeared.

The dirt around them began to flow quickly into the distance, like water.

In the blink of an eye, the small tunnel turned into a huge underground space.

Aiden’s body separated from the earth, and the Legendary Rank Earth Glide instantly stopped working. The yellow-brown glow around him also began to fade.

With no light source left, darkness swallowed everything in an instant.

Then, pairs of eyes as large as cars suddenly appeared in the dark.

The yellow-brown light shining from those pupils was full of pressure.

"That’s right, it must be right! This aura is exactly the same as the one the clan leader showed us!"

"Hahahaha, our luck is unbelievably good."

"Has the clan leader been informed?"

"The clan leader should already be on the way. For now, let’s kill this human, those Red Dwarves, and that Grey Rat Monster first."

"Agreed. Before the clan leader gets here, we must make sure there are no dangerous factors nearby."

When Marcus and the Grey Rat Monster heard this, they froze at once. Their eyes widened as they looked at Faye and Aiden.

"Divine Golden Sunflame!" The the Abyssthe Flame Demon staff in Aiden’s hand lit up at once.

Golden flames burst out instantly, and Aiden finally saw them clearly.

They were creatures forty to fifty meters long, looking somewhat like giant pythons, but with three horns on their heads and four huge claws.

"Die, human!" one Earth Dragon roared, and the sharp horn on its head suddenly gave off a blinding yellow-brown light.
