The migration team is like a winding python, slowly advancing at the junction of tundra and wilderness.
The sun in the sky was shining silently, but it seemed to have lost its temperature. The coldness in the air became more and more obvious. When I breathed, I could exhale a breath that was visible to the naked eye.
Garos's dragon wings cut through the cold airflow. Viewed from a high altitude, the earth looks like a picture that has been roughly torn apart by the gods.
The withered yellow of the wilderness and the pale color of the tundra clash fiercely here.
The wilderness on the south still retains the lingering aftertaste of the rainy season. Dots of green appear on the moist land. New grass buds stubbornly dig out of the cracked soil and sway gently in the breeze. The low bushes are also covered with new clothes. There are still crystal water droplets hanging on the dark green leaves, shining with tiny rays of light in the sun.
However, when looking far into the distance and staring to the north, the situation becomes completely different.
Signs of life came to an abrupt end, and the frozen soil was like a cold tyrant, strangling life with its pale fingers. The terrain was mainly plains, with occasional hills and rugged highlands that undulated like the backs of giant beasts. Further away, the horizon gradually blurred and merged with the gray-white sky, making it difficult to tell where the land ended and where the sky began.
"This is already Borderlands."
Garos withdrew his gaze from the distance and stared at the earth below.
The monster's migration speed has become slower than before, not because it is difficult to move, but because it slows down in order to search for suitable habitats along the way.
Since crossing Estonia River, we have arrived at the North Shore.
Although there are still occasional attacks from ferocious beasts and monsters, the frequency is much lower than before. The biological density of Borderlands is not high, lower than that of Ser Wilderness.
This also means.
This place is more barren than Ser Wilderness, and it is harder to find a very suitable habitat.
Garos, as well as Iron Dragon and the red dragon, were all hovering in the sky at this time, waving their wings unhurriedly, looking down at the ground, silently searching for a suitable territory.
Because I decided to rely on the Estonia River to develop trade.
They did not migrate too far to the north, but moved upstream at a certain distance from the main river.
On the way, the migrating team also discovered a pretty good place.
Garos once stopped in a geothermal area Sulfur Hills. The sulfur veins in the hilly underground produced heat and temperature. Within a few hundred meters, heat-resistant and high-temperature mutated thornberry bushes and mutated fir trees grew. There were even several hot spring steams surging to form hazy fog columns.
Samantha strongly wants to build a nest here.
However, because the pungent smell of sulfur makes many creatures dislike it, and the overheated temperature here is not suitable for Borderlands creatures, there is almost no trace of the herd around, and there are no suitable biological resources.
So I had to give up temporarily.
However, Garos noted the location of Sulfur Hills. After the large army stabilizes, it can be used as a stronghold. The underground sulfur veins are not very precious, but the surrounding environment is very suitable for the red dragon to make alchemy here.
"When the family members are settled, I will build a furnace in Sulfur Hills and rebuild my Alchemy Workshop."
Samantha never forgets Sulfur Hills.
It flew to Garos's side, reminded Garos not to forget, paused, and added, "You live here with me, you can drink the freshest extracted Black Oil."
Garos shook his head and declined. "A comfortable environment will weaken my will."
Martial Dragon's career does not require as much hard work as Monk, but Garos feels that cold Borderlands can make him clearer, while warm Sulfur Hills will make him drowsy.
After a fierce battle with Dragon Hunters.
Although he won, the process made Garos a little frightened. He knew that he was not ready to enjoy it to his fullest yet.
"Just right, I actually prefer to have a large territory to myself! I won't be disturbed and I can do whatever I want!"
Red Dragon curled his lips, snorted coldly, and said insincerely.
A normal red dragon does prefer to live alone, but it has become accustomed to relying on Garos over the years, and is very unhappy at this time.
"Look, there is a fortress ahead."
Iron Dragon's dragon roar interrupted the conversation between the two.
Garos and Samantha followed Iron Dragon's gaze and looked at it at the same time.
A somewhat dilapidated fortress came into view.
It has majestic walls and majestic architecture. It is even large enough for Adult Dragon to live in. It can fully accommodate the size of Adolescent Dragon. It can be transformed into a very good residence.
"It looks like the ruined castle left behind by Frost Giant."
The Borderlands in the north of the Estonia River was originally an ice sheet. However, as time changed, the temperature increased and the ice and snow melted, slowly evolving into the current Borderlands. This fortress was most likely left by a certain Frost Giant tribe long ago.
"There may be danger inside. Let your family members go explore it first."
"If we can live there, we no longer need to live in a cave nest like Beast."
After a brief exchange.
A team of Gnoll and Lizardfolk elites with relatively keen senses escorted the warlock into the old fortress. After some exploration, they came out and reported that there were no magic traps or threatening creatures.
The red dragon and Iron Dragon were so happy that they wanted to fly over.
"Don't worry."
"It looks very dilapidated and may not be suitable for us to live in."
Garos glanced at the cracks and mottled marks on the tall walls and said.
"As long as you can live in it! This is a fortress!"
The fortress where Dragonkin can live in is not something ordinary Adolescent Dragon can afford.
Iron Dragon and Red Dragon were both a little excited and did not listen to Garos's dissuasion to enter the fortress.
As a result, in less than ten seconds, with a slight crash, Nuoda's fortress began to Shatter, collapse, collapse, and finally turned into rubble and dust all over the ground.
Bah bah bah!
The two Adolescent Dragon spit out their mouths full of gravel, shook off the dust on their bodies, and flew up from the ruins with disgraced faces.
"Damn, I just accidentally knocked over a pillar with my tail and it started to collapse."
Samantha shook his head and said angrily.
This fortress has undergone countless years of weathering, and its interior has long been in decay.
Garos narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the foundation that had not collapsed under the ruins, and said, "This place can also be used as one of the strongholds if we sort it out in the future."
The migration team sets off again.
In order to search for the next suitable territory, we also need to familiarize ourselves with and adapt to the surrounding environment.
And three days later.
When the twilight gradually became darker and the sky showed a gradient color of gray and blue, Garos saw a huge valley surrounded by two high mountains.
Viewed from a high altitude, the mouth of the valley is as narrow as a bottleneck, but the interior suddenly opens up.
The mountain wall is rugged and towering, which can keep out the wind and cold. The entrance, which can only accommodate five Ogres side by side, is easy to defend and difficult to attack. There is an unfrozen lake inside, with cold-resistant needle pines growing on the lakeshore. You can also see herds of drinking animals around. The interior space is spacious, like an oasis.
When he saw this, Garos's eyes lit up.
But he did not act rashly, but ordered Scarlet Iron Cavalry Corps to send a team of Dire Wolf Knight to go first to investigate the situation.
At the time of Ser Wilderness, the territory rich in resources was either occupied by powerful creatures, or the territory itself contained some kind of danger or discomfort.
Borderlands's resources are poorer than the wilderness.
A good territory has a very low probability of being left without an owner.
It's just that the valley is vast and the mountain walls are towering, blocking the view. Garos didn't directly see traces of powerful creatures in the air, but that doesn't mean there aren't any, so it's best to send your family to find out the situation first.
