flame, blood, death
Ser Wilderness deep, Sinkhole Territory.
The moonlight flows quietly, coating the north wall of the huge tiankeng with a silvery glow.
An adult Chromium Dragon is now tiptoeing, carefully retracting its sharp claw tips, and landing gently on the hard ground. The cautious look is like a Dragonling trying to hunt for the first time, for fear of disturbing its prey.
In his mouth was a carefully prepared mating gift.
A whole plant of Ironflower Tree perfectly sealed in ice.
This is a magical plant that is extremely rare in the wilderness.
It has the incredible ability to absorb the majestic earth element energy deep in the earth, and convert this energy into substance, growing metal branches as hard as steel. This characteristic makes it one of the most beloved natural creations of the Iron Dragon Clan, who is born with a special affinity and preference for metals.
"Laetitia!"
Chromium Dragon solemnly placed the frozen Ironflower Tree plant in front of the Iron Dragon cave.
He raised his slender neck and shouted Iron Dragon's name, expressing his love.
"Accept my passionate admiration! As long as you are willing, I promise you, I will make the entire vast Ser Forest blossom into dazzling steel flowers for you."
At this time.
A lazy and huge shadow, accompanied by the subtle sound of heavy scales rubbing against the ground, slowly extended from the rich darkness deep in the cave.
Iron Dragon Laetitia, finally revealed her true appearance.
Her dragon scales are not pure black, but have a cold, hard metallic luster, like countless sharpened blades.
The Dragon Might aura exuding from her body was obviously much more powerful than the Chromium Dragon Eric in front of her.
With a scrutinizing look in her vertical pupils, she carefully looked at Chromium Dragon outside the cave - from his body shape, the luster of his scales, to the attitude and sincerity he showed at this moment.
Chromium Dragon, like Iron Dragon, belongs to the Ferrous Dragon Clan genealogy, and his nature tends to be lawful evil.
The long back from the snout to the tip of the tail is lined with smooth fins, with shiny horns and broad and smooth wings. The dragon scales look like liquid metal, strikingly reflecting the nearby terrain. At first glance, it looks somewhat similar to Silver Dragon, but the aesthetic appearance of Dragon Race is impeccable.
In terms of attitude, Chromium Dragon also performed impeccably.
Every time he comes to visit, he will carefully prepare different gifts.
And every time, after careful observation and consideration, he was sure that it was something Iron Dragon Laetitia would like.
It's a pity that Iron Dragon Laetitia's inner standards for choosing a mate are more inclined to those lawful Dragonkin who can surpass herself in strength and life level and make her look up to her heart.
She really can't arouse much interest in a suitor who is significantly younger than her in age and Life Level.
After just a few seconds of inspection.
With a sweep of her tail, she accurately rolled up the precious frozen Ironflower Tree plant in front of the cave, threw it back without mercy, and landed firmly at Chromium Dragon's feet.
"I've told you more than once."
Her words were categorical, leaving no room for fantasy. "Don't bother bringing these... low-value gadgets over in the future. I have no interest in you at all. Leave my territory immediately."
Her posture is cold and distant, and she exudes an aura that repels dragons thousands of miles away.
However.
Chromium Dragon is obsessed with the strong, cold and decisive qualities of Laetitia.
He lowered his head slightly, and his voice contained a hint of humility and sincerity that was deliberately lowered.
"I know you appreciate those who are more powerful than yourself Dragonkin."
"But Laetitia, please think about it, those Evil Dragons who have power over you, are they really worthy of trust in their hearts?"
"They will only always think about how to dominate you, dominate you, completely bring your will under their control, and make you become their vassal."
He raised his head slightly and looked directly at Iron Dragon.
"In that case, why not try another completely different form of relationship?"
Chromium Dragon whispered softly, "I admit my weakness."
"At least in terms of strength, I really can't compare with you at the moment."
"But doesn't it also mean that I will know how to accommodate you and obey your wishes and will never go against your ideas?"
"I'm even willing to accept your humiliation and let you experience the pleasure of being in control of everything that comes with being the stronger party."
The character of Chromium Dragon is similar to the cunning Green Dragon to some extent - they are naturally good at disguise, good at conversation, and well versed in bluffing.
For example, they sometimes completely imitate their scales into silver, and use an elegant posture similar to Silver Dragon to contact intelligent creatures.
When the opponent relaxes his vigilance and mistakes him for the noble Silver Dragon, he suddenly launches a fatal attack.
At this moment, Chromium Dragon is obviously using the "good at talking" and "good at inducing" aspects of his racial talent in courtship.
Iron Dragon Laetitia fell into a brief silence.
In a few seconds of silence, although her huge body still maintained a posture of rejection, from the subtle movements of the end of her strong tail, which swayed slightly and the arc became less rigid, keen observers could catch a clue - there was a certain point in Chromium Dragon's words just now, which indeed stimulated her deep-rooted desire for control and made her a little interested.
Chromium Dragon captured this, striking while the iron is hot.
"Laetitia, have you felt it? The atmosphere of the wilderness is becoming more tense day by day. The air is filled with invisible gunpowder smoke, as if a fire sweeping everything is about to ignite."
"But danger is often accompanied by huge opportunities. This turbulent wave is exactly the perfect opportunity for us to take advantage of the situation and seize greater Divine Authority!"
"I know your dream! I know you will never be willing to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! I also know that in order to realize the grand blueprint in your heart, you will inevitably feel constrained by your own strength. You need reliable and powerful allies!"
Eric puffed up his chest and his tone was full of sincerity and commitment:
"I promise you, Laetitia! As long as you are willing to accept me, I will stand firmly behind you and use all my wisdom and strength to contribute to your magnificent territory and become your most trustworthy help!"
Iron Dragon Laetitia fell into silence again.
The silence lasted longer this time, as if she was weighing the pros and cons and possibilities in her mind.
After a few seconds, she finally slowly shook her huge head.
"Every word you just said is indeed the sweet words I want to hear most at this moment."
Her eyes were as sharp as a knife. "But because of this, I can conclude with utmost clarity that you are using Chromium Dragon's best bluffing trick on me!"
Laetitia's voice was unequivocal.
"Any sweet words that are divorced from reality and beautiful promises that are like castles in the air are destined to eventually make the dragon full of expectations fall into disappointment Abyss."
A dragon once promised her that he could restrain her chaotic nature, but the result was exactly the opposite.
Chromium Dragon opened his mouth.
He wanted to say something more, but Iron Dragon had already taken a step forward, unfolded his dragon wings, raised his right paw slightly, and stared at him coldly. "I don't want to say it again, get out of my territory."
Feeling the other party's tyranny Dragon Might.
Chromium Dragon struggled internally for a while, then slowly backed away for a distance, then flapped its wings and flew into the sky, gradually moving away from Sinkhole Territory.
Iron Dragon Laetitia It wasn't until Chromium Dragon was confirmed that Chromium Dragon had completely disappeared from the end of the field of vision that she slowly put away the dragon wings, turned around and returned to her cave, then quietly lay on her side on the steel throne, slightly closing her eyes.
Chromium Dragon is indeed right about one thing.
Her keen sense of smell had already captured the tense atmosphere that was increasingly spreading in the wilderness, as if sulfur fire was about to ignite.
She will never give up this huge opportunity that may change her destiny.
Therefore, she needs time and absolute calmness to carefully consider and repeatedly plan every key step towards the future.
The other side.
Chromium Dragon flapped its broad wings vigorously, soaring alone in the vast and silent sky.
Suddenly!
A smell of sulfur that was so rich that it was almost suffocating, with a strong irritation, like an eruption from the core of a volcano, came to my face without any warning.
Eric's scales instantly exploded, and the strong sense of crisis was like ice water on top.
He suddenly twisted his slender neck and locked his eyes in the direction of the source of the smell.
What came into Chromium Dragon's field of vision was a red Evil Dragon that was so huge that it made his heart palpitate.
The dragon scales all over his body showed a deep red color like coagulated blood, and were crisscrossed with medal-like medals that symbolized countless brutal fights, repeated Shatter and then healing of the dragon scales - Battleworn Mark!
This red Dragon God looks ferocious and violent.
Just looking at him, Chromium Dragon, who is a cold type Dragonkin, felt a suffocating pressure.
"You mean reptile, run away! Use all your strength to run away."
The red dragon's low, hoarse roar, full of cruel teasing, rumbled and echoed among the howling wind and rolling clouds, like the announcement of death.
"Because when you are finally caught by me, you will find that all the so-called "pain" you have experienced before turned out to be as sweet as candied fruit!"
Chromium Dragon felt a chill in his heart, and his dragon scales stood up.
He felt a death-like crisis, so he flapped his wings fiercely in the next second and fled away. However, with bursts of wild laughter and roars, the pungent sulfur smell came closer and closer.
Soon after, Sinkhole Territory was deep.
Iron Dragon Laetitia, suddenly opened her eyes.
An extremely familiar smell that made the scales on her body suddenly tighten... Bloodshed The smell mixed with sulfur was drifting into her cave on the night wind.
"Gorsas?!"
She whispered in confusion, then waved her dragon wings and flew out of the cave at high speed.
Under the thick and thick night cover, two giant dragons were hovering in the sky above Sinkhole Territory.
When Iron Dragon Laetitia's figure just rushed out of the cave, she happened to witness that thrilling scene.
One of the relatively small dragons fell rapidly and feebly from a high altitude like a kite with its string broken.
No!
More precisely.
It was thrown down towards the hard ground by an irresistible Colossal Strength like discarded garbage.
Bang!
A dull loud noise exploded.
Chromium Dragon's body, like a Shatter puppet, hit the cold and hard surface hard, and then... there was deathly silence.
Laetitia's sharp eyes penetrated the dust and instantly locked onto the dilapidated dragon corpse.
The pair of broad and huge wings were broken and twisted at an extremely cruel angle; the slender neck was twisted into a creepy twist; the whole body was covered with traces of burnt black flames that exuded a pungent smell... the vitality had been completely cut off.
Boom!
With a terrifying sound like a meteorite falling to the ground, the deep red dragon landed next to Chromium Dragon Shatter's body.
"Gorsas!"
Iron Dragon Laetitia's roar sounded like thunder.
Facing Iron Dragon's angry gaze that was about to spit out lava, the red dragon Gorsas grinned his huge mouth full of fangs and laughed, "My dear Laetitia, my treasure, my priceless wealth."
"I haven't seen you for decades, but you are still as elegant and beautiful as ever."
Iron Dragon Laetitia lowered his limbs, and his strong tail tightened and twitched behind him like a steel whip. He growled, "Get out! Gorsas! Disappear from my territory immediately!"
The red dragon turned a deaf ear to Iron Dragon's murderous roar, and instead let out a low and joyful laugh.
He stretched out his giant claws covered with red scales, with Chromium Dragon's blood dripping from the claw tips, and casually played with Chromium Dragon's twisted and deformed head like it was a Shatter toy.
"Your little toy can't even catch a few casual claw strikes from me. It's so fragile, little Letty. It seems that your vision has regressed a lot compared to the past."
He suddenly seemed to have discovered something interesting. He rolled his thick tail flexibly and easily picked up the broken horn of Chromium Dragon.
Then, he pressed the broken horn like a crown crookedly on his huge head with majestic dragon horns and covered with ferocious thorns.
"Hahaha!"
Gorsas let out a deafening laugh and said, "Look! Look! Do I look more majestic and arrogant when I look like this?! This is the kingly posture worthy of you, Laetitia!"
Can't hold it back anymore!
Iron Dragon's claws crushed the rocks, its wings flapped, whipping up strong winds, and its more than twenty-meter-long hard body suddenly rushed towards the red dragon Gorsas.
The joking smile on the face of red dragon Gorsas suddenly disappeared as if its face changed at the moment Iron Dragon launched its charge.
His red claw, burning with flames, swung away at the charging Iron Dragon without mercy.
The battle between dragons started instantly.
The alarmed and powerful Kin Leader in the Iron Dragon territory, after sensing that their master encountered a powerful enemy, roared and rushed out of their respective lairs in an attempt to support their lord.
However, the aura of the red dragon was so solid that the weaker ones were instantly crushed to the ground, trembling, and even losing the courage to stand.
Only a few of the most courageous and absolutely loyal leaders to Laetitia could barely withstand the soul-trembling pressure and roar into this pinnacle battle of dragons.
But their ending can only be described as moths flying into a flame.
The red dragon didn't even look at them, he just waved his giant claws wildly or swung his tail covered with thorns.
The few leaders who rushed forward without fear of death, including Dragon-Vein Kin, who Laetitia spent a lot of effort to train, were all killed on the spot by the red dragon in the most brutal way. The broken limbs and broken arms were mixed with blood, which rained down on the ground like raindrops.
This battle with huge disparity in power lasted only ten minutes.
Bang!
With an extremely dull loud noise, the red dragon Gorsas's claws covered with hard scales severely stepped on Iron Dragon Laetitia's chest, trampling her into the deep cracked pit on the ground Shatter.
The red dragon was condescending, looking down at Iron Dragon who was being stepped on.
"Listen, bitch!"
"You, Laetitia, will always belong to me Gorsas! You are my most precious treasure! My belongings! I will not allow - never allow - you to have any form of contact with any other male dragon! Even just a glance! Otherwise -"
The force on his claws suddenly increased, Laetitia's scales continued to crack, and the rocks under him made an overwhelming sound of shattering.
"--He is your role model!"
The red dragon's eyes glanced at the corpse of Chromium Dragon Shatter next to it.
Iron Dragon no longer roared needlessly, but just raised its tail and slapped the red dragon on the head.
Gorsas let out an impatient snort, blocked his tail with one claw, stepped on Iron Dragon's claws and exerted force, kicking Laetitia's huge body into the air, and hit the steep wall of the sinkhole heavily.
The ground shook violently, and countless gravel rolled down.
Laetitia's body was deeply embedded in the rock wall, and the hard dragon scales rubbed against the rock, making a tooth-piercing sound!
Immediately afterwards.
Under the gaze of Iron Dragon Laetitia who was extremely angry due to severe pain and humiliation.
The terrifying and ferocious expression on Gorsas's face suddenly disappeared without a trace, as if the Bloodshed cruel battle just now had never happened.
"Laetitia."
Gorsas's voice became much gentler, even with a hint of apology.
"Look at my bad temper. I'm really sorry. I seemed to have been too harsh just now."
He spread his huge paws and made a helpless gesture. "I know that you have a lot of dissatisfaction with me, and you must still be holding back the resentment from decades ago."
"But don't worry! My dear!"
Gorsas's voice suddenly rose, full of fanatical ambition and confidence. "My return to Ser Wilderness this time is no accident."
"The fate has long been determined - I, Gorsas, will surely rule this vast land! All creatures living on this land, whether humble insects or proud Dragonkin, will eventually crawl under my huge dragon wings! Surrender to my supreme authority!"
He stood upright and spread his forearms, as if embracing the future of the entire wilderness.
"I will be here! Build an unprecedented, powerful kingdom that belongs to me! An empire worthy of your identity and ambition!"
"When the time comes, my dear Laetitia, I will open my arms to you again! Give you the supreme honor and Divine Authority! Let you have the opportunity... to become the only and true queen in my empire!"
At this point, his face suddenly became fierce and ferocious again, and the conversation changed.
"But before that, Laetitia, you are my wealth and possessions. If you dare to escape from the wilderness and disobey my will, I guarantee that you will pay a heavy price for it."
After swearing his lofty ideals and his sovereignty over Iron Dragon.
The red dragon's body was ignited with fire, soared into the sky, and disappeared into the deep night in the blink of an eye.
"Gorsas. Damn bastard."
Laetitia's eyes were cold and he reluctantly got up.
Since Gorsas followed his instinct and awakened Ancestral Blood, his temperament has become increasingly chaotic and cruel. Now he has become unreasonable and difficult to communicate with.
But she had known this for a long time, and was not frightened by the red dragon's capricious, chaotic and unpredictable temper. Instead, she tried to calm down as much as possible and thought about how to deal with it.
"Gorsas's temper is destined to stand on the opposite side of all living things."
"Even members of the same clan as Evil Dragon will regard him as a source of danger. Needless to say, Metal Dragon. As for the other dragons on Dragon Wilderness, I can try to unite with them to deal with Gorsas."
Iron Dragon Laetitia thought quietly in his heart.
