Chapter 1724 – Encounter with the Undead (2)
There was a dead silence in the night, and all the people were thinking deeply.
Suddenly, Shen Yanxiao caught a strange scent . That scent that was mixed in the evening wind blew through her nose.
“A smell of blood.” Shen Yanxiao stood up all of a sudden.
The others put their guards up immediately.
In these five days, apart from the merfolk, they had not seen any other dragon.
The sudden smell of blood in the air at night brought their nerves to the apex.
“Blood? I don’t smell anything.” Qian Yuan said doubtfully, yet still high alert.
They were still in the area occupied by Long Yan. If they encountered the subordinates of Long Yan this time, they would be in trouble.
“It’s very faint, over there.” Shen Yanxiao narrowed her eyes. Although the dragons were strong, their sense of smell was not well-developed. The elf blood in Shen Yanxiao’s body had fully awakened; she was also a Pharmacist herself, and so she had a very keen sense of smell.
Shen Yanxiao immediately set off and headed in the direction where the smell of blood came from.
Qian Yuan immediately extinguished the campfire and kept the two sky dragons in place. He then followed Shen Yanxiao’s footsteps with Yang Xi and Vermillion Bird.
As the distance grew shorter, Qian Yuan had also smelled the faint scent of blood.
In their current location, the smell was still so faint, but Shen Yanxiao had found it even earlier; her sense of smell was really sharp.
Shen Yanxiao stopped behind some huge rocks. She raised her hand to stop Qian Yuan and the others behind her.
Through the crevices in the rocks, they could clearly see several clusters of fires flashing in the darkness ahead, which were flickering fast and headed in their direction.
A rush of footsteps came to Shen Yanxiao’s ears. Under the moonlight, three figures were frantically advancing. Looking at these figures, two were big and one was small, but their running postures were extremely awkward. As the three figures came closer, the smell of blood in the air became more and more intense. Along with that bloody smell, a disgusting stench of decay could be faintly smelled.
Behind the three figures, one could see more than ten men with torches chasing rapidly.
Suddenly, a huge black shadow shrouded the earth and blocked the moonlight, like a big net covering the sky.
As that shadow covered the ground, a burst of cold wind arose abruptly, making the already chilly night even colder.
Shen Yanxiao raised her head and suddenly found that a huge flying dragon was hovering in the sky.
Correctly speaking, it was not a dragon, but a bone dragon!
The bone dragon’s body was very large, but there was no skin nor flesh on its whole body. Only one bunch of dark bones was left to support itself. On the back of the bone dragon, six wings made of bones were stretched out.
This was an undead six-winged silver dragon!
Seeing the six-winged bone dragon, the face of Qian Yuan instantly turned pale. Regardless of how the merfolk described Long Yan’s crime before, when he saw the skeleton of his kin that was resurrected by the undead with his own eyes, his shock could not be expressed in words.
The bone dragon did not find Shen Yanxiao and others hiding behind the rocks. Its target was the three escaping figures.
The bone dragon suddenly lowered its altitude, and its huge bony wings set off a gust of wind, which completely blocked the way of the three figures!
Soon, the ten or so individuals chasing behind had arrived in front of the three figures!
