Asher took the bottle that Uathach handed him, then heard her complaining voice:
"Honestly, I don't know what injured that black dragon. I personally saw it flying away into the distance from the castle. It should have gone to look for medicinal herbs to heal itself. How could it fly back so quickly?"
"Moreover, the direction it flew in was Britain's territory. King Uther doesn't have Mother's good temper. If he sees an enemy invading, he might order someone to shoot down the black dragon."
As she spoke, Uathach climbed to the edge of the dragon's nest and jumped down with a "heave-ho." Rune magic activated in an instant, and she landed lightly on the ground.
"Alright, let's go quickly. Go back and put the dragon blood into the magic cauldron. After filtering it, Big Sister will make you something delicious."
"Don't make it burnt cookies or something like last time..." Asher muttered.
"No, no, don't worry! This time I'll definitely make the best snacks!" Uathach was rarely a bit embarrassed, obviously knowing how bad the food she made before tasted.
"That's good, but it's best not to use dragon blood to make food. After all, this kind of thing can't be wasted," Asher said.
"You still look down on me, don't you?!" Uathach angrily slapped Asher.
"It's not looking down on you, just stating the facts..."
"That's looking down on me! I must teach you a good lesson when we get back!"
During their conversation along the way, the two walked towards the exit of the forest.
Roar!
Just then, an extremely terrifying roar resounded through the forest, accompanied by violent gusts of wind that swept through, causing the wild beasts in the mountains and forests to flee in all directions.
"The black dragon is back!" Uathach's face changed slightly. "We must leave here as soon as possible!"
The two quickened their pace, Rune magic enhancing themselves, their speed increasing greatly in an instant, quickly running towards the forest exit.
Roar!
Another roaring roar, and Uathach's face changed drastically.
Without a doubt, the black dragon had discovered that its essence blood had been stolen, and she could sense that the black dragon was flying towards their direction at an extremely fast speed!
Uathach's guess was correct. In almost no time, the black dragon's massive figure, blotting out the sky, hovered above the two. This creature possessed intelligence. It didn't want to destroy the forest and was now waiting for Asher and Uathach to leave, ready to deliver a fatal blow.
"Why isn't it attacking? Is it an eco-friendly dragon?" Asher rarely managed to be humorous at such a critical moment.
"Black dragons master the power of the four elements, but they aren't invincible in the forest. They have other natural enemies. If they provoke them, it could very likely escalate into a fierce battle," Uathach said.
"Then if we hide in the forest, we'll always be safe, right?" Asher suddenly asked.
Uathach shook her head. "Its physical body itself is also very tough. Even without using elemental power, we would have a hard time dealing with it..."
"So, it might directly use its physical body to fight us head-on...?" Asher paused slightly as he said this, looking back.
The black dragon flapped its wings and slowly landed in the forest, its golden eyes bright as day, coldly staring at the two thieves.
"Roar!"
It roared again, flapping its giant wings and swooping down towards Asher and Uathach.
"Big Sister, what do we do now?!" Asher asked urgently, quickening his pace.
"It's okay, we're almost at the exit," Uathach comforted him.
This forest wasn't far from the Land of Shadows. Once they left the forest exit, they could enter the castle in no time, and after that, they would be completely safe.
Asher stopped talking and continued running forward.
He knew that speaking now would only waste meaningless physical strength.
Under the enhancement of Rune magic, the two quickly saw the forest exit ahead.
Asher's face showed joy. Once they left the forest, they would soon reach the Land of Shadows. If Shishou was there, she would definitely be able to drive away this giant dragon.
However, before he could take another step forward, the back of his collar was suddenly grabbed by Uathach, who flung him backward with force.
Bang!
Asher staggered backward, and at the same time, the black dragon's massive body blocked the forest exit, the ground trembling. Its proud golden eyes were now coldly staring at the humans who had stolen its essence blood.
Roar!
It let out an angry roar, stirring up a violent gust of wind. Asher's face grew even more unsightly, and he took half a step back. But at this moment, he found that the dragon's golden eyes were coldly fixed on him.
As if remembering something, he pushed Uathach away. "The dragon's essence blood is with me. It will come after me. You go find Shishou! I'll hold it back!"
After speaking, Asher decisively rushed into the depths of the forest.
Uathach bit her lip, then decisively turned around and rushed towards the forest exit.
Staying here would be a meaningless act. What she needed to do now was to find her mother for help. At a time like this, doing something like: no, I want to stay and die with you... would simply be idiotic.
However, something unexpected happened.
The black dragon actually didn't chase after Asher. Its brilliant golden eyes scanned the two tiny humans for a moment, then it turned and pounced towards Uathach.
Suddenly feeling the pressure behind him disappear, Asher couldn't help but look back. Immediately, his steps stopped, and he looked at the scene before him in disbelief. "Why?!"
The black dragon pounced towards Uathach. The black scales on its body were as sharp as blades. It lunged at Uathach without regard. One could imagine that if it were hit by such a huge body, it would instantly turn into mincemeat.
"Big Sister!" Asher shouted. He wanted to help, but the distance was too far. He couldn't help at all right now.
The black dragon lunged in front of Uathach, but there was no imagined splatter of blood. Uathach nimbly jumped up. A layer of green light covered her body. She lightly stepped on the dragon's head, leaped up, and landed steadily beside Asher.
"Run!"
Without giving Asher any time to react, Uathach grabbed Asher's hand and ran towards the depths of the forest.
However, Asher's stamina had been largely exhausted during the previous rapid running. At this moment, he was desperately panting, unable to keep up with Uathach's speed. He gasped, "Big Sister, let go of me."
"Are you an idiot?!" Uathach glared at Asher angrily. "Don't move!"
After speaking, she suddenly raised her hand and carried Asher horizontally in her arms. Her speed was even faster than before.
Clearly, under the enhancement of Rune magic, the previous running speed was far from Uathach's limit. Only now was she unleashing her true speed.
Asher lay in Uathach's arms, staring at her. He had thought about the day he would be princess-carried, but he hadn't expected to be princess-carried by a girl.
