A mouthful of Fireflame Rabbit mixed with the taste of tobacco and sulfurous phlegm almost made Hana gag in disgust.
"Damn you, you dead rabbit! Gulp I'm going to tear you apart!"
Fury surged within her, and an unexpected burst of strength allowed her to break free from the restraint of the Fireflame Rabbits. With a ferocious momentum, she lunged at Bugs Bunny.
The sharp claws of the bird monster leader were almost upon him.
A glint of sharpness flashed in Bugs Bunny's eyes as he recalled the teachings of his Black Dragon master.
"A gentleman must strike with weight to command respect."
As a gentleman rabbit, his strikes had to be heavy. Otherwise, how could he establish authority?
Take the current situation, for instance. He had gone too easy on her.
This had emboldened the bird monster leader to resist!
Unacceptable.
It was time to teach these backward magical species the meaning of "the art of benevolence."
And what was "the art of benevolence"? It was the art of splitting one's enemy into two.
In a flash of lightning, Bugs Bunny, relying on his impeccable combat skills, discerned the trajectory of the bird monster leader's attack.
Too slow!
Not even half as fast as Grey Wolf!
Although his rabbit paw moved later, it reached Hana's sharp claws first.
Crack!
The sound of her claws scraping against the calluses on his paw echoed in the air.
Bugs Bunny's eyes widened, a fierce gleam erupting within them. With a sudden twist of his waist and a powerful pull, he grabbed Hana's claws and swung her over his shoulder in a textbook-perfect suplex, slamming her onto the ground.
Hana felt a tremendous force on her claws, followed by a dizzying spin.
Bang!
A searing pain shot through her jaw, her head buzzed, and her vision blurred with sparkling stars dancing before her eyes.
But it wasn't over yet.
"Roar—"
With a deafening roar, Bugs Bunny leaped high into the air and delivered a flying elbow drop squarely onto Hana's back.
Crack.
Something seemed to break.
Hana's vision went dark, and she lost consciousness.
…
It was unclear how much time had passed.
When Hana regained consciousness, her entire body ached as if it had been crushed, and a chill ran through her, prompting her to open her eyes.
She discovered that her feathers were gone!
Her meticulously groomed, decades-old, luxurious plumage—her most treasured possession—was entirely gone!
These Fireflame Rabbits were beasts!
Hana hugged her wings, overwhelmed by grief, tears of humiliation streaming down her face.
The surrounding light was dim, and the oppressive aura of a dragon filled the air.
She immediately realized where she was—inside the Dragon's Lair.
Hana's body tensed, and she curled up, trying to hide herself beneath her bare wings.
The inherited memories in her bloodline told her that once captured by a dragon, one would either die or suffer unspeakably.
As for why, there was no need to elaborate.
Dragons, as every magical creature knew, could find beauty in any female creature and would sound the horn of reproduction for them.
Hana had once witnessed a white dragon and a female sandworm… doing things. The scene was so grotesque that it scarred her for life.
From that moment on, she had kept her distance from dragons.
But fate had other plans, and she ultimately fell into the hands of one.
At this moment, her fellow tribesmen were huddled beside her.
Each of them was bruised and battered, trembling like quails.
Their once-beautiful feathers had also been plucked clean.
It was clear they had been thoroughly "entertained" by those rabbits.
The sound of heavy breathing filled the air.
Following the noise, she saw gnolls in the Dragon's Lair performing strange actions.
Some were repeatedly kicking a wooden stake with their shins.
Others were hopping around the corridors while carrying heavy Spearboars.
Still others were swinging two Blackwater Pythons in a dazzling, impenetrable display.
Elsewhere, several kobolds were boiling water to cook what appeared to be some kind of animal eggs.
The rumbling sound of countless Fireflame Rabbits echoed as they dashed through the Dragon's Lair, followed by Cockatrices walking upside-down along the ceiling.
At the very center of the lair, on a broad, flat bedrock platform, a ferocious and majestic Black Dragon lay coiled. In front of him, he cradled a half-elf fox-eared girl in his dark wings, licking her face with his massive tongue.
The scenes before her shattered Hana's understanding. She couldn't comprehend how these magical creatures coexisted so harmoniously.
At first, she thought the kobolds and Fireflame Rabbits were enslaved by the gnoll tribe, but now it was clear that wasn't the case. These magical creatures were all the Black Dragon's followers.
Yet it was still unbelievable.
Even as followers, there should be a hierarchy.
What had she just seen?
A gnoll carrying a basket of carrots for a Fireflame Rabbit, with the rabbit cuddling affectionately in the gnoll's arms?!
And the gnoll looked utterly smitten.
The most terrifying part? They were both male!
"Bird Monster Leader?"
The Black Dragon's hoarse, deep voice snapped Hana back to reality.
She turned her head and saw that the Black Dragon, who had been resting on the rock platform, was now right in front of her.
Hana shrank back, covering her body with her featherless wings, lowering her head, and trembling all over.
What did this wicked dragon want?
Could it be that he intended…
Hana shuddered. It was said that dragons had barbs, which were utterly terrifying. The process would be nothing short of torture.
However, this Black Dragon did look both fearsome and majestic. For a chaotic evil magical creature like her, the more terrifying a creature was, the more attractive it became.
Undoubtedly, this Black Dragon was such a being.
To reproduce with such a powerful and charismatic creature, enduring some pain didn't seem entirely unacceptable.
Hana felt a strange stirring in her heart, which made her blush.
Speaking of which, what would the offspring of a bird monster and a Black Dragon look like?
Would it be a Dragon Bird Monster or a Bird Monster Dragon?
Hana's mind began to wander into all sorts of shy fantasies.
…
Su Nian licked Anna twice before happily receiving a gentle tap on his dragon face from the fox-eared girl, who wore a slightly annoyed but adorable expression.
He looked at the bird monster leader, who was emanating pheromones, with a puzzled expression.
Was something wrong with her?
Had being beaten up triggered her mating season?
Could she possibly be daydreaming?
Su Nian shook his head in disdain, resisting the urge to incinerate the bird monster leader with a single dragon breath.
Setting aside the fact that the bird monster leader was too ugly—looking like a witch—how could she be so confident as to think she could stir any feelings in a hybrid dragon like him?
Besides, the only one who could move him was Anna.
All other magical creatures, whether male or female, were just soldiers, farming tools, or crops awaiting harvest! """
