Enraged, the Poisonous Earth Dragon emitted more poison from its pads, evident in the growing pool of purplish-green liquid. Its tail swung harder than before, damaging its confines as it unconsciously tried to protect its behind now that it could no longer see. Its mouth was also doing its work, switching between roaring and letting out poison clouds.
Thankfully, the cultivators weren't blind and tried to avoid the poison clouds amidst all the shaking. Tao Zhouqi placed a protective barrier in a corner of the cave that wasn't being as heavily targeted and yelled for all the non-weapon combatants to hide in there. Those that had fallen were either dragged over by him or thrown in by other cultivators.
