The Southern Jungle
Then the soldiers brought over the food, and we wolfed it down, especially Riven. ♙💣 ♦🐟
She already had a large appetite, and after the intense battle, she was eager to replenish her energy, so she ate an unusually large amount, leaving Lucian dumbfounded.
Can you afford to support this wife?
Hearing this, Riven blushed and couldn't eat anymore. I quickly explained that we weren't in that kind of relationship.
Darius chuckled and continued the previous topic, "Have you noticed that, apart from you, all of us who possess dreams are powerful figures in our own right? Me, Jarvan, Ashe, Camille, Gangplank."
"So?"
"I think you should go to Ionia and become their leader."
"Spare me, I don't like this job, and besides, what have I done to deserve it?"
Darius smiled and didn't say much, only that we should all get together after this war is over, which is what I was thinking too.
After the message arrived and we had eaten and drunk our fill, Darius ordered his men to activate the teleportation array, which transported us to Demacia.
The Demacia teleport point is located on the southern coast, much like the outpost north of Piltover, and is very well hidden.
A teleportation point was established here a long time ago. At that time, the two countries of Den and No were not on good terms. Darius originally wanted to use this place as a base for a surprise attack, but he gave up because it was too remote. He never expected it to come in handy now.
Although it's still quite a distance from Silver City, the journey has been greatly shortened; you can get there quickly by motorcycle.
Riven carried us into the sky; the September weather was the complete opposite of Bilgewater's —unbearably hot and humid.
Beyond the coastal area lies the southern forest, one of the few places in Runeterra that can rival the pristine beauty of Ionia. The harsh environment and venomous insects and wild beasts have protected this forest from destruction.
"This place is so nice, let's go for a walk!" Riven exclaimed, intrigued.
"If it were a good place, it would have been cultivated by people. The fact that it remains like this suggests that it is fraught with danger."
"When I was a child, my mother often told me stories about this place. It was said that many giant dragons lived here, some of them..."
Before Lucian could finish speaking, we saw a colossal creature flying towards us from the front—a dragon!
Riven quickly turned around to avoid it, but the motorcycle was faster than the dragon, and we soon shook it off.
We only managed to defeat the fire dragon last time thanks to the ancient sealing altar. Even now that we've become stronger, we still lack the confidence to defeat it. We should try to avoid it if possible.
As the trees below thinned out, we were about to leave the dense forest when Riven suddenly stopped. "Look down there, aren't two giant dragons fighting?"
Lucian and I looked in the direction Riven was pointing, and sure enough, we saw two animals tearing at each other. Were they dragons?
Just as things were getting uncertain, Riven drove downhill. "Let me show you properly, haha!"
After we landed some distance, Lucian and I could see clearly that it was indeed dragons fighting! Many of the surrounding trees had fallen!
No wonder dragons are such a rare species. Even though they are already seldom seen, they still fight each other. I wonder if it's for food or mates.
"Let's wait a bit. If they both suffer heavy losses, we might be able to get some Dragon Horn and Dragon Tooth. Those things are just as valuable as Primal Crystal!"
"Let's hurry up and go, Lucian's eager to get home!"
"It's alright, no rush. If we can receive something so precious as a gift, I think Mom and the others will be very happy!"
I thought Lucian wouldn't want to waste time here, but it turns out he's just as interested as Riven. Well then, I don't mind playing a little longer anyway.
To avoid being seen by the dragons, we stopped descending after reaching a certain height, which allowed us to see the battle between the two dragons clearly.
One of them was a fire dragon, and it looked just like the one we defeated. I didn't recognize the other one, but that's not surprising, since I've never seen any other elemental dragons before.
It is yellowish-brown all over, a bit larger than the fire dragon, and has the advantage in strength, especially its thick tail, which is exceptionally fierce and often puts the fire dragon in a dangerous situation.
The fire dragon was not easily defeated; it was agile and breathed fire. However, the spread of the fire was contained by the terrain they had created through their struggle, otherwise it would have been a disaster!
Although the two dragons often fought fiercely, I never felt that they were risking their lives, because the fire dragon had several opportunities to attack the yellow dragon, but in the end, it didn't.
At the same time, Huanglong did not attack with full force; every time it struck the fire dragon, it would immediately withdraw and attack other areas instead.
I've seen the sharp teeth and Claws of dragons before. It's completely unreasonable that neither of them was injured after fighting for so long! If this were a human, it would look like a friendly sparring match!
Soon, Huanglong swept its tail and knocked down the fire dragon. At this point, it could have easily bitten through the fire dragon's neck, or at least torn through its relatively soft belly, but it stood still.
Riven and Lucian also noticed something was wrong. Just as we were wondering what was going on, we suddenly realized that the two giant dragons had disappeared!
The messy woodland suddenly became spacious, a place ravaged by their battle.
"Where did they go?" Lucian wondered.
"No, look closely, they've just gotten smaller." I have to say, Riven has excellent eyesight; we couldn't see anything at all, but she could see everything.
We descended again, and when we could see clearly, we discovered that there were actually two people standing there!
"Could they be like Teacher Li? Able to perfectly transform into human form, and then turn into a giant dragon when needed? I just wonder if they can speak human language."
"I think it's necessary to go down and take a look. Maybe these dragons are Teacher Li's companions!"
"It seems you won't give up until you've explored the dense forest today."
"Hehe, let's go down!"
Lucian naturally had no objections; he also wanted to go down and find out. We quietly descended, but despite being very careful, we were still discovered.
When I got closer, I was quite surprised because I recognized one of them— Shvana!
We quickly turned our heads away, because the two giant dragons were completely naked after transforming back into human form!
After a while, a male voice came from behind, sounding like the yellow dragon. "Turn around, we're dressed."
I turned around and saw that Shvana was wearing her old armor, while the other person was wearing a set of golden armor that I recognized very well—it was Jarvan's armor!
"Haha, don't you recognize me? No wonder, I'm glad you weren't scared by my appearance."
"You are... Jarvan?"
"Otherwise what? Long time no see, Yasuo, Riven, and this friend I've never met before!"
