Chapter 4 Dragon
Currently, Xindongyang is divided into four major divisions: east, west, south, north and north. Except for the northern district, dominated by the remaining people from the East, the other three areas have been occupied by countless monsters.
In the blink of an eye, nine days passed, and Claudia and her group were getting closer and closer to West 69. At this time, the number of people in the team was five less than before. And almost every one of the remaining people was tired and covered in dust, and it looked not much better than the refugees.
In the center of the team, Claudia also looked haggard, her lips were chapped and her hair was covered with a fishy smell. She never expected that there would be such a dangerous place in the world.
You should know that half of their teams are capable people. The team leader Tares is a level 4 capable person, and he has many years of adventure experience. But even so, they still lost six people along the way, and their spirit and physical strength were almost at their limit.
Along the way, Claudia and the others encountered invisible cheetahs, mantis larger than humans, monsters that could spray lava, hundreds of square meters, and woods that could move and hunt.
Various monsters made the team members physically and mentally exhausted. Only Tares was still energetic all day, and every day looked like the first day of departure.
At this time, the team had reached the West 68th District. What they saw was endless scorched earth, no trees, no flowers and plants, just like a desert of life, and there was no sign of life.
In the distance of the scorched earth, there is a volcano that keeps emitting thick smoke, erupting sporadic magma from time to time. A "bobo" vibration comes from the earth, making people wonder if the volcano will erupt in full swing in the next moment.
A team member said, "After all those monsters are gone, aren't there?"
Another said: "Is it okay for us to go here? That volcano seems to be about to erupt at any time."
Tares smiled and didn't say anything. But Claudia, who was standing by, had already seen the other party's ability in the past few days. When she saw Tares' expression, she couldn't help but ask: "Why, are they wrong?"
Tares shook his head: "Do you know? In nature, powerful creatures have their own territory. In their territory, other species are very rare."
A big man heard Tares's statement and asked, "Are you saying that the place where we are now, is the territory of some powerful creature?"
Tares nodded and replied: "The entire West 68 area is a territory of the three-headed dragon. This monster is more than 100 meters long and weighs tens of thousands of tons, and has the ability to control gravity. When he first discovered him, hundreds of soldiers were sacrificed."
A young man next to him immediately became scared when he heard Tares' introduction: "Then why are we going here for? If this monster is discovered, aren't we finished?"
The others looked at Tares in confusion. After a few days of getting along, they had already understood Tares' abilities. The other party was definitely not a brainless person, so they were all waiting for his explanation.
Tares did not disappoint everyone, and explained: "Although the golden three-headed dragon is very powerful, he is already very gentle than other monsters. Because he spent most of a month sleeping in that volcano."
He pointed to the volcano that was constantly emitting smoke in the distance and said, "This monster usually absorbs the energy of the volcano in it, so the volcano seems to be very active, but it will not erupt. As long as we pass by quietly and don't wake him up, this route will be very safe."
Next, the group ran towards the volcano. According to Tares, as long as you climb over this volcano, you can reach the destination of the trip, West 69.
However, along the way, everyone was reminded by Tares. They were cautious and did not dare to make noise. If there was anything to say, they would lower their voices, for fear of waking up the golden three-headed dragon in the volcano.
Two hours later, they had climbed to the hillside of the volcano, and the temperature around them was getting higher and higher, and the air was filled with the smell of sulfur.
However, no one complained at this time. The nine-day journey has made everyone in the team understand that Xindongyang is definitely not a good place for vacation. Any carelessness or mistake can make people die.
At this moment, the little thing like a ferret suddenly squeaked a few times on Tares' shoulders. Tares looked in the direction of the little thing and could see a strange flower blooming under a cliff.
"Wait for me." As he said that, he had put down his backpack, took out his tools, and ran towards the flower.
People in the same team are no longer surprised. The little thing on Tares's shoulder is also a species found in Xindongyang, called the Money Rat. It has a strong sense of smell and vision, and can always find some more valuable animals and plants.
It is precisely because of this money rat that Tares discovered many particularly valuable things and avoided fatal crises again and again. In fact, many capable people would find ways to conquer one or two of them when exploring New Dongyang during their adventure.
Because the Daxia government does not allow too dangerous organisms to flow out of Xindongyang, they often choose creatures that are not strong in combat but have specialties, similar to the money rat.
When everyone watched Tares carefully dig out the flowers on the cliff and stuffed them into a pocket of animal skin on his belt, they couldn't help but look envious.
It was a pocket made of a skin called the Void Dragon. This Void Dragon is very weak, about the size of an ordinary person's arm, but it has a strange space bag ability that can hide in the space bag when encountering danger. And the pocket made of his skin has the chance to become a space bag.
I heard that only more than 100 similar pockets are produced in total, and 80% have been taken away by the Daxia government. Because this space pocket has aroused the great interest of a supervisor in the Eighth Research Institute and is fully deciphering the principles.
After putting the flowers in the space pocket, Tares showed a satisfied smile on his face.
His space pocket is not big, and it is all used to store everything that is difficult to store or is particularly precious, so he still has to carry a backpack.
"Okay. Let's go." As Tares finished speaking, the group set out on the itinerary again and walked towards the top of the volcano.
But when they walked for more than ten minutes, a huge beast roar suddenly came from the sky.
With the sound of beast roaring in this life, the entire volcanic area seemed to be lively. Many strange-shaped insects crawled out from the rocks, running towards all directions like a glance at the end of the world.
Just as everyone was panicking, the second beast roar came from the sky again, accompanied by sound booms, and a heart-wrenching feeling pressed on everyone's heart.
That was the most primitive fear of human beings. It was like a frog meeting a snake or a sheep meeting a wolf. Everyone's eyes showed a look of fear. Some people even had their legs weak and almost fell to the ground.
"Damn it, it's Dragon Power!"
Tares looked into the sky and saw a black shadow in the air coming to the sky above the volcano in a blink of an eye.
The black scales, thick limbs, and wings over 200 meters wide. What flew in the sky was a black dragon that was only found in myths and legends.
Everyone present looked at the black dragon circling in the sky with an ugly expression. Angry dragon roar came from the black dragon's mouth. Even those who were stupid could tell that he was provoking.
Tares's face turned pale and said incrediblely: "What's going on? Why did the Black Dragon come here? Why did he provoke the Golden Three-Headed Dragon?"
However, there was obviously no place for Tares and others in the eyes of these giants. With the black dragon's beast roars again and again, the entire volcano began to shake violently, and a golden dragon head emerged from the crater. There were still bits of magma left on the dragon head, dripping from the dragon head to the volcanic rock, making a series of sizzling sounds.
Then I saw the golden dragon head aiming at the sky and also let out a terrifying roar. Sound waves visible to the naked eye spread everywhere. The entire volcano trembled violently, and large pieces of corpses fell down.
Most of the people in the team were all tilted in the beast roar. The terrifying sound waves even made them tinnitus and could not hear anything.
Tares's face darkened, he grabbed Claudia who was beside him and shouted: "Go away! Go quickly! They are competing for territory! Go quickly before they start the war!"
Several powerful abilities followed Tares directly, and some of the weaker abilities stood up.
Tares ran, and turned his head with an ugly expression, and saw that three huge golden dragon heads had all emerged from the crater. With the sound of terrifying beast roars, countless rocks began to shatter, and the black dragon in the sky fell toward the crater.
‘It’s the gravity field! The ability of the golden three-headed dragon! Damn it!’ Seeing this, Tares knew that the golden three-headed dragon used his ability to increase the gravity field near him. This move once instantly crushed a special force into meat sauce.
Now he turned around and saw that where they were standing, the team members who had taken a few steps late had all been pressed to the ground, squeezed and deformed little by little.
At the crater, with the impact of the black dragon, two giants rolled towards the depths of the volcano. Tares could only hear an angry beast roar and felt the entire earth shaking under his feet.
Just this, he could feel how intense the battle between two terrifying monsters was. If it were on the Eastern Continent, the battle between the two might have directly destroyed a city.
At this time, he didn't admire him. What method did the senior leaders of Daxia use to constrain all these dangerous monsters on Dongyang Island.
Then Tares thought: "But what happened? Why did the Black Dragon come back to provoke it to fight for territory? But I remember that the Black Dragon has its own territory?"
While thinking, Tares led the remaining team members to run quickly down the mountain. Behind him, including Claudia, everyone was pale and full of horror. No one was thinking about West 69 at this time, so it was the highest priority to stay away from these two monsters.
Fortunately, the two monsters only had each other in their eyes and had no time to care about the little bugs like Tares and others. So half an hour later, the group finally escaped safely to the foot of the volcano. They all looked at the direction of the crater with lingering fear, and still heard the sound of beast roars.
Just as the group began to think about what to do next, one wave after another rose again, and another sound came from the sky.
This time it was no longer the previous dragon roar, but loud thunderous sounds.
A big man looked at the sky in confusion and murmured: "It's thunder? It's going to rain?"
But with the sound of thunder, the next moment, something that stunned everyone happened. The black dragon and the three-headed golden dragon crawled out of the crater at the same time. They looked like dogs and men and women caught in the bed after an affair. Even Tares and others could find the panic in their actions.
Just as he watched the two giant beasts climb out of the crater, he didn't dare to roar, and he didn't fight anymore. He picked two opposite directions and flew out like a stray dog.
