The scaled dragon roared with its head held high at the thunderbolts and looked like it was refusing to admit defeat. However, there was nervousness in its eyes. As a matter of fact, that was the last step in the dragon's evolution and countless scaled dragons had failed.
"We'll help you!" At that moment, Chester and the others who were seated on the ground opened their eyes and rushed to the sky.
Then, they broke out at the same time and jointly deployed a protective shield over the head of the scaled dragon to help it withstand the thunder strikes.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
During the formation of the protective shield, there were countless thunder strikes. In an instant, dust and smoke filled the air within a few thousand meters. The underground had collapsed and the mountains had shaken like it was the end of the world. Without hesitation, Veron and the others went backward and avoided it.
After more than ten minutes, the dust and smoke had subsided and a snow-white figure appeared, circling the sky. The scaled dragon had successfully completed its ascension. Chester and the others stood on the back of the dragon. Their faces paled after helping the scaled dragon, but they had smiles on their faces.
Chester stood on the back of the dragon and shouted at Veron, "Cultivators of the Hidden Hero Sect, the incident of Darryl murdering your former Sect Master was indeed a misunderstanding but we have yet to show you the evidence. We understand why you've locked us up here but we'll just let it slide. Moreover, we will find out the truth! Alright, that's enough for now. I'm sure we'll meet again."
Once he was done speaking, he lightly patted the dragon's back. The dragon roared and rushed upwards into the sky, disappearing into the clouds.
At that moment, Veron's face changed. 'Evil…'
Just as she was about to stop them, Chester and the others had left with the dragon. She was infuriated.
Watching Chester and the others leave her territory was humiliating. What was more unacceptable was the scaled dragon from the forbidden place had become friends with them. Elder Fire and Elder Wind were also perplexed.
Soon, Veron snapped out of it and instructed Elder Fire, "All of you, find out Chester's whereabouts now!"
