'Sh*t! How can she be that ruthless?' Darryl was shocked and angry.
With no regret on her exquisite face, Veron peered down from the edge of the hole and said, "That is what you get for being a pervert."
Then, she sat down on the ground and began to meditate. She would wait until daybreak to tell the people in the Hidden Hero Sect that Darryl had escaped from the dungeon. There should be nothing left of him by then, so even if her mother knew about the truth, she would not blame her.
The wind whipped in Darryl's ears as he continued his descent down the hole. His hands were still bound. When he realized that he was about to reach the bottom, he took a deep breath and pressed one of his feet against the wall to get into a horizontal position to lessen the impact.
Even so, he felt his blood surged at the landing and immediately gushed out a mouthful of blood. Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for him to get hurt when falling from a height of several hundred meters. However, his hands were tied, and the effect from the Fairy Soul Suppressing Pill still had not worn off.
Hearing the commotion, the scaled dragon's body shot up, and its blood-red eyes immediately locked onto Darryl. Then, it charged toward Darryl. The moon was bright and clear, and it was absorbing the moonlight essence. Its brutal ferocity was provoked when a stranger interrupted the process at the most critical moment. There was only one thought in the scaled dragon mind then—it wanted the human to die!
'Sh*t!' Darryl's expression changed drastically. 'How can I fight the dragon when the Fairy Soul Suppressing Pill's effect hasn't completely worn off, and I was hurt from the fall just now?'
Roar!
The scaled dragon was moving at lightning speed and was already in front of him. It raised his humongous body and looked down at Darryl with its mouth wide open.
'Oh, yeah! I can use the beast taming loop!' Even though the Fairy Soul Suppressing Pill had not worn off completely, it should not be a problem for him to break the rope that bound his hands. Panicking, he struggled out of the rope and retrieved the beast taming loop. "Heel, you animal!"
The scaled dragon stopped in its tracks and looked at Darryl with confused eyes. 'Huh? What's going on? Why did human's aura suddenly change?' It could sense a very familiar aura on Darryl's body, emitted by the beast taming loop.
'It's a good thing I have the beast taming loop,' Darryl thought, heaving a sigh of relief. Then, he took a deep breath and communicated with the scaled dragon. "I didn't mean to intrude, but someone pushed me down here. Let's not fight each other since this is a misunderstanding."
He was activating his internal energy discreetly to get rid of the remaining effect from the pill as he communicated with the scaled dragon. He would not need to fear the scaled dragon once he got his power back.
