Chapter 53 No one will help the informer
Thor slightly raised the scales on his brow. Knowing these young dragons as he did, he knew that if they saw their tails twitching, they were bound to have something good to say.
Sure enough, the next second the blue dragon suddenly turned its head, pointed its claws at Thor and roared fiercely.
"This red dragon is carrying a mysteriously obtained magic crystal; it must have stolen some lord's treasure!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he stared at Saul with a smug look on his face, eagerly anticipating seeing anger and fear on the other man's face.
Leilia's gaze followed, and the words "magic crystal" precisely struck a chord with her, causing her to involuntarily stop her preparations for takeoff.
However, under the spotlight, Thor showed no sign of panic. Instead, he boldly extended a claw and pulled out a fist-sized dragon crystal from the folds of his wing.
"This is something I stumbled upon during my travels in the past. It was from a small, exposed vein of magic crystals. I've already eaten the rest, so this is all that's left."
"Lady Leilia, if you desire it, I am willing to offer it to you."
As he spoke, amidst the shocked and heartbroken gazes of the young dragons, he stepped forward and gently placed the dragon crystal from his claws into Leilia's outstretched hand.
The moment the dragon crystal appeared, it immediately captured the attention of the young blue dragon.
She was just thinking of finding some excuse to snatch it, but before she could even make a move, the treasure was already in her hands.
But such a small piece was clearly not enough to satisfy the dragon's bloodline's greed for treasure. Leilia flipped her claws, held the dragon crystal in her palm, and stared into Thor's eyes as she growled.
"Are you sure there's only this small piece left? If you dare lie, I won't let you off the hook!"
Thor nodded calmly and responded with conviction.
"I swear in the name of the great Tiamat, this is all the magic crystals I possess now."
Although many of the five-colored dragons do not take Tiamat, the goddess of dragons, seriously at all, no dragon dares to break the oath made in her name.
Thor, of course, dared not, so he was telling the truth at that moment.
After all, the dragon crystals he had exchanged earlier had indeed been consumed. This piece was just a remnant he had deliberately kept to stimulate the young dragons.
Hearing this, Leilia nodded in satisfaction, glanced at the faces of the young dragons, flapped her wings, and flew away without looking back.
As he watched the black dot in the sky shrink, Thor suddenly turned his head and grinned maliciously at the tattling blue dragon cub.
"You talk too much, don't you? You've got some nerve, daring to snitch! Looks like the lesson you learned before wasn't enough. Let me remind you of it now!"
As he spoke, he took a step forward, his large wings slightly spread behind him, carrying a fierce aura, and approached the blue dragon hatchling step by step.
The surrounding black and green dragon cubs trembled at the sight and quickly made way for them, with some of the more timid ones even spreading their wings and flying away.
Even some of the blue dragon hatchlings couldn't help but want to run away at this moment, and the one that had just betrayed them was regretting it so much that it was almost green with envy.
Who would have thought that this red dragon would be so decisive, giving up such a precious magic crystal so easily?
This action was completely unlike what a red dragon should do—shouldn't he have fought to the death, ended up getting a good beating, having his treasure stolen, and being left battered and bruised? How could he have just given it away?
The immense pressure caused the young blue dragon to retreat step by step, casting pleading glances at its companions around it.
What affection can there be between those evil dragons? More importantly, even if they all attacked together, they might not be able to defeat Thor! They all replied with a helpless emoji.
Some of the young dragons looked at him as if he were a brainless idiot, with mocking smiles on their lips.
Didn't this guy think about the consequences before he betrayed us? Even if the Red Dragon suffers, he certainly won't die.
Once they recover, they will surely launch a frenzied revenge, without even considering whether they can withstand it.
Seeing that none of its companions were willing to help it, the blue dragon hatchling's eyes revealed a hint of despair. It pushed off the ground with its limbs and flapped its wings to escape into the distance.
Thor watched the figure gradually disappear into the distance, but showed no intention of chasing after it. He simply turned to look at the blue dragon hatchlings beside him and growled in a threatening voice.
"I want to see that reptile appear at the entrance of my cave before sunset."
If you can't do it, I'll hold you all responsible for his mistakes. Anyone with the guts is welcome to try disobeying my orders.
These arrogant words ignited a surge of anger in the hearts of the blue dragons, but seeing Thor's seemingly even larger size, none of them dared to utter a word of protest.
They kept exchanging glances, as if urging each other to bravely step forward.
But everyone knows that if someone is the first to speak up, they will be targeted as a scapegoat. No dragon is willing to make that sacrifice, so the matter will naturally come to nothing.
After the blue dragon hatchlings silently dispersed, the remaining green and black dragon hatchlings also quickly flew away one by one. As for the white dragon hatchlings, they had long since scattered.
Sol was left alone, squatting atop the Gobi Desert, gazing at the vast oasis ahead, pondering the words Leilia had spoken earlier.
They are to be taken to the battlefield in three days. Is the Blue Dragon Clan in such dire straits that they have to use even the power of a young dragon?
Judging from the food that has been delivered before, it shouldn't have come to this yet, right? Could it be that they want these young dragons to see blood and gain some combat experience beforehand?
Thor felt the latter possibility was more likely. If the battle had really reached the point where the young dragons needed to contribute, how could they possibly give three days to prepare? They would have already taken them away.
Therefore, the level of danger in this operation should not be high; it is estimated that it is only dealing with some small, hostile clans.
He will act according to the situation and run away immediately if things go wrong. With his superb flying skills and the help of those young dragons, he should be able to escape successfully even if something goes wrong.
With this thought, Thor felt much more at ease. He swayed back to his den, lay down, and began to meditate.
He didn't need to prepare much, or rather, none of the young dragons needed to prepare much—their scales were their armor, their claws and teeth their weapons; as natural killers, fighting was practically instinctive for them.
Several hours passed in a flash, and the sun gradually set in the west. In the afterglow of the sunset, a noisy sound came from outside the cave. It was the blue dragon cubs who brought the informant.
