CHAPTER 44: CHAPTER 44: DON’T WANT TO DIE

And the Giant Dragon that had been pursuing suddenly had a flicker of surprise in its eyes.

Just like a human playing with a tiny bug.

He was standing in the bug’s path, lifting a foot, ready to crush it, never imagining the bug would actually fly!

Not only did it fly into the air, but it even sprayed a blob of yellow liquid towards him.

This was completely unexpected for the Giant Dragon.

It couldn’t harm the Giant Dragon, yet it somewhat annoyed him.

He was somewhat disrupted!

But he had to admit, this Dwarf had some cleverness.

Indeed it made him hesitate about pursuing.

He didn’t know what the merchant goods were; if they were precious and easily perishable items, they couldn’t touch fire.

Only those military metal weapons might survive the flames.

But Land didn’t dare to gamble, or rather, he didn’t need to.

The purpose of raiding this caravan was for treasure, after all.

Ravaging these guards was just for his amusement.

And also possibly to unlock the gold finger [Killing Enemies]Ⅱ.

Without much hesitation, the Giant Dragon looked deeply at the Dwarf Warrior, turned his body, flapped his broad Dragon Wings, and headed back.

He quickly reached the caravan’s goods spot, lifted the canopy, and found it was actually a pile of Leather Armor!

There were probably dozens of sets!

Judging by the craftsmanship and style, they were likely the finely made Leather Armor of the Haisen Kingdom’s active forces, specifically for elite soldiers.

The price of one piece was a full 48 Silver Rables!

Land’s heart stirred, and he lifted the canopies of another seven or eight carriages.

He found there were also military greatswords, large shields, and healing potions and other equipment, quite a lot in total.

These pieces of equipment could arm nearly two hundred elite soldiers, and the healing potions were enough to keep such a 200-man unit fighting for two or three months!

The total value was at least 380 Gold Talers, truly a significant amount.

Indeed, saving the supplies was more important!

Although those weapons might not burn in flames, the Leather Armor and healing potions couldn’t withstand fire!

Just these items alone were worth at least over a hundred Gold Talers! He couldn’t bear such a loss!

This wasn’t merely the Giant Dragon’s greed at work.

Moreover, by acquiring this treasure, his [Wealth] might reach the second stage, gaining more potential.

Wealth is a key resource tied to power.

Land clearly understood this, and hence, in his heart, the value of wealth reached an unparalleled status.

He wouldn’t differ much from a truly miserly Red Dragon.

The surrounding flames burned fiercely, enveloping the area, painting the Giant Dragon’s scales a bright red.

Land directly threw his massive body onto the ground, then began to slowly roll!

Ironically, Land, being a dragon who couldn’t use magic, had to use this clumsy method to extinguish the fire.

What? Why not use dragon wings to create gusts to put out the fire?

Wind only fuels the fire; does he want his treasure to burn even faster?

His terrifying weight of at least twenty to thirty tons pressed onto the ground would instantly create an oxygen-free state, thus extinguishing the fire.

He rolled sideways, and the ground where he rolled left behind scorched black earth after the fire was extinguished, one circle, two circles, three circles.

Soon, he isolated the fire away from him.

But he couldn’t leave; otherwise, the fire would spread again, trapping him here.

Land felt a bit annoyed; his pair of fierce crimson eyes involuntarily glanced at the injured trapped with the goods.

He wanted to kill a few to vent his anger!

Aganfu, whose legs were crushed and unable to move, playing dead, felt something was wrong, feeling a slight shiver all over.

He quietly opened his eyes, only to see the Giant Dragon next to him, its blood-red eyes locked onto him!

He sensed his act was definitely exposed!

What might happen next made him inevitably wet between his legs, releasing a foul smell.

This landed right in Land’s nostrils, making his expression darker, his crimson eyes even more ferocious!

It’s decided! This wretch will be the first to be squashed! Just look at him, so big yet wetting his pants without consideration of the situation!

Indeed, it’s best to send him to the Abyss sooner!

Land lifted a forelimb and brought it down, taking a step forward, moving closer to the enemy!

"No! Don’t kill me! Your Highness the Giant Dragon! Don’t kill me! I am still useful! Please believe me! I am still useful!

Your Highness the Giant Dragon! I know you must like Gold Talers, right? I can give you all mine!"

Aganfu, seeing the Giant Dragon approaching, terrified out of his wits, shouted desperately trying to seize a chance of survival.

Land was momentarily stunned, then in a deep voice said:

"An interesting proposition, then where are your Gold Talers?"

"In... the commerce’s bank, as long as you let me return, I will immediately fetch them for you!"

Aganfu, as if finding a life straw, became immensely excited.

"Then where is your commerce?"

"In the Haisen Kingdom Capital, Haisen Royal City."

"Haisen Royal City? Human! Are you toying with me?"

Land’s eyes slightly narrowed, bowing his head, his nostrils puffing a hot breath, scalding the fat man’s face red.

"Saint Francis City too!"

"Fool! Do you think I’d trust you to go and then come back?" Land snarled, lifting his paw preparing to crush the little fatty.

Enveloped in the giant shadow, Aganfu instinctively shielded his face with his hands, shrieking:

"No! Don’t kill me! I have value! I can earn money for you! Tons of money! Let you become the richest Giant Dragon in the world! I beg you to spare me!"

"Earn money for me..." Land paused again.

"Exactly! Earn money for you! Your Highness the Giant Dragon, do you know the Havier Commerce? I am one of the executives there! My ability to earn money is renowned in the entire commerce!

As long as you spare me, I will definitely earn you plenty of Gold Talers! Shining Gold Talers perfectly befitting your majesty!"

Aganfu seeing a chance, instantly began to market himself.

"Based on you?"

"Your Highness the Giant Dragon! Don’t be fooled by my appearance, but I indeed have some connections in several cities nearby! It’s a must-have for merchants!

Moreover, Mr. Dragon, what do you think the value of my current transport goods is?" Aganfu nervously said.

"Hmph? Trying to test a Giant Dragon with this? Are you an idiot? It’s a total of 383 Gold Talers, 39 Silver Rables!" Land sneered, lifting his head in arrogant pride.

When it comes to counting money, if a Red Dragon claimed second in the world, no other creature would dare claim first!

"Impre...impressive! Just like a Giant Dragon! I read about such a record in books before.

It’s said that Giant Dragons are the most renowned appraisers, seeing now truly confirms it! This ability is truly remarkable!"

Aganfu’s eyes sparkled, unable to suppress his admiration.
