However, after some consideration, Velin decided to take Otto and Sofia to Black Gold City.
With the native of the Dragon Bone Wasteland as their guide, the journey became much easier.
At their current pace, they would arrive in Black Gold City by tomorrow.
As night fell, Velin led his companions to a secluded oasis where a city-state similar in size to Loess City stood.
This city-state was called Yellow Sand City, a name that had nothing special about it, just another common city-state in the Dragon Bone Wasteland.
The two dragons and the elf chose to spend the night in a very ordinary inn. After passing through the noisy hall, they went up to their rooms on the second floor.
Otto and Sofia shared a room, while Velin had his own.
Before settling in for the night, Otto and Sofia peeked over the balcony at the diverse crowd below.
Similar to Loess City, as long as you obeyed the rules of the city-state, they did not reject anyone based on their race.
Furthermore, there were all sorts of people in the inn, which also meant there were many interesting stories to be heard.
As they had some spare time, they decided to enjoy the lively atmosphere in the inn and just relax.
Soon, Otto overheard an interesting topic.
A hideous Scorpion-man spoke to his companion at the table, “Did you hear? The Black Widow has appeared again.”
Clearly, his companion was unaware of the Black Widow’s exploits.
“Tell me more.”
Thrilled to have something to brag about, the Scorpion-man chugged down his ale, while his companion promptly refilled his cup.
The Scorpion-man nodded in satisfaction before explaining, “You’ve heard of Black Widow monsters, haven’t you? They’re enormous black spiders, with great strength and powerful venom.”
His companion nodded and the Scorpion-man continued, “But the Black Widow I want to talk about is a bit different.
Although she also possesses an enormous spider body, she has a beautiful Elf upper body on top of it.”
“Wait, that sounds like a Spider-transformed Elf. Are you sure the upper body isn’t a Dore?”
“Who knows? I just heard. The Black Widow only appears at night and has been attacking humans for the past ten minutes.”
At this point, the Scorpion-man sneered, “Surely you know about those unfortunate fellows from the Human Chamber of Commerce who died in the streets the other day? I heard they were killed by the Black Widow.”
“Wait, are you saying the Black Widow is in Yellow Sand City right now?”
“That’s right!”
The Scorpion-man affirmed, then laughed, “Don’t worry, my friend. As far as we can tell, she’s only targeting humans.
We are both Scorpion-men, so we don’t need to be alarmed — she won’t be interested in us.”
Upstairs, Otto asked Sofia, “What do you think?”
“What?”
Sofia looked at Otto quizzically.
“That has to be a Spider-transformed Elf, right?
I heard that in the Dark Domain, due to Spider Goddess Rose’s wrath, many Dore Elves were transformed into monstrous spiders.
She could be one of your kin; aren’t you the least bit interested?”
To this, Sofia grinned, “I’ve long come to terms with my past.
Even if that Black Widow was indeed a Spider-transformed Dore, it doesn’t matter to me. I’ve long since severed ties with Dore Elves.
This applies to when I followed my mother to Dawn Forest back then, and even now.
I’m just me, a simple Half-Elf.”
Otto sighed and shook his head, “Alright then, let’s just pretend I never said anything.”
The topic was set aside as Otto and Sofia returned to their room.
However, it was clear that this would be another sleepless night.
For some reason, Otto felt Sofia was clingier that evening.
Ever since they returned to their room, she had been holding onto him tightly, and her body temperature seemed to be rising.
Suddenly, Otto asked, “Sofia, are you feeling cold…?”
After all, there was a significant difference in temperature between day and night in the Dragon Bone Wasteland.
To this, Sofia just rolled her eyes at the cloddish dragon and took a gentle bite at his arm.
Of course, she didn’t use much force.
Otto only felt a soft sensation on his arm, which was somewhat comforting.
“Big silly dragon, we…”
Just as Sofia was about to say something, the sound of a commotion came from Velin’s room next door.
There were loud noises and the sound of wood breaking.
“What’s going on?”
Just as Otto and Sofia were about to go take a look, another loud noise erupted outside.
Accompanied by a woman’s scream and the sound of something heavy hitting the ground, the streets outside the inn became chaotic.
Looking out the window, Otto said with an expressionless face, “What can I say, our luck is really something. We just mentioned the Black Widow, and we’ve already run into her.”
As the Scorpion-man described earlier, a repulsive Spider-transformed Dore lay in the middle of the street.
However, compared to a normal Spider-transformed Dore, her size was much larger.
For most people, this would undoubtedly be a terrifying opponent.
But unfortunately for her, she had encountered human-sized dragon Velin, who had a record of single-handedly defeating an adult Black Dragon in human form.
“Black Widow?”
Sofia curiously stood beside Otto, peering out the window. However, after witnessing the scene unfolding on the street outside, her expression changed.
“What’s wrong?”
Otto looked concernedly at Sofia, who turned pale and said, “It’s nothing, maybe I remembered it wrong…”
At this moment, from the room next door, a blue-haired girl leaped out of the window and landed beside the Black Widow with an imposing stance.
That was none other than Velin.
She seemed extremely annoyed, her small fists clenched tightly, glaring at the struggling Spider-transformed Elf who had just been beaten up and was trying to get up off the ground.
“What are you playing at, suddenly attacking from someone else’s room?”
With a glowering face, Velin stalked closer to the Spider-transformed Elf while demanding, “Well? Say something, or else my fists won’t hold back.”
“Hu…human…”
“What did you say?”
The Spider-transformed Elf’s voice was feeble, and Velin couldn’t hear it clearly.
As she leaned in, the Spider-transformed Elf suddenly launched an attack, leaping towards Velin. Her Elf hands tightly clutched a strangely shaped longbow.
Sharp blades adorned the edges of the longbow, allowing it to double as a melee weapon.
