"Sorog."
"According to the current information, is there a more accurate determination of the species of the mysterious firebird leader who occupies Lost Trail Marshwood?"
Red Iron Dragon is soaring under the leaden rain clouds, and through the stable Mind Link, its consciousness is having a silent conversation with Iron Dragon Sorog who is sitting far away in Quenching Heights.
"It's not possible to be completely sure at this time."
Iron Dragon Sorog's response came. "Of all the scouts we sent, none of them actually saw the target's true form with their own eyes."
"They only reported that among the huge hawks and birds that were entrenched in the sky above Zelin, they observed a huge bird silhouette made of blazing flames, which was suspected to be the leader of the flock of birds."
"However, a material entity has never been seen, as if it itself is a living flame with a will."
Garos narrowed his eyes slightly, flashing a hint of thought.
He thought for a while and asked, "So, Sorog, based on your experience and inherited knowledge, what do you think this powerful creature that can command a flock of birds and is suspected of being an elemental life might be?"
There are powerful creatures that can grow to the Legendary Realm level, or close to the Legendary Realm threshold. Excluding those heterogeneous individuals who are born due to special circumstances and cannot be classified, in the vast inheritance records of Dragon Race, there are actually countless races as a whole.
Moreover, every known powerful race has unique and distinctive characteristics.
Although it is impossible to see its true appearance at this moment, it is possible to deduce the specific racial category it belongs to by relying on the elemental flames, giant firebird form, immaterial entity, and commanding birds. These specific and significant characteristic clues.
Once the species is identified.
Whether they choose to go to war and conquer them in the future, or try to seek cooperation and alliance, the dragon group can make corresponding psychological preparations and arrangements in advance.
The other side.
Iron Dragon Sorog is lying on a huge metal observation platform at the edge of Quenching Heights.
He used his flexible dragon tail to roll up a bucket of honey, raised his head and drank it in a big gulp. While he narrowed his eyes in satisfaction at the ultimate sweet taste, his calm thoughts also murmured in the connection.
"Based on all the information and characteristics, I highly doubt it. It is most likely one. Immortal Bird."
Garos felt a little satisfied with the spirit of Iron Dragon.
He asked, "Sorog, did you eat honey again?"
Iron Dragon was silent for two seconds and responded, "No, we Dragonkin should drink the enemy's blood and strong wine freely. Honey is something that a few dragons like to eat. I have already given up."
Garos shook his head slightly and did not ask any further questions.
The world's impression of Iron Dragon is always cold and cruel. It is hard to imagine that a Iron Dragon can be so sweet and like honey the most.
Garos returned to the topic and responded, "I have the same idea as you regarding the identity of the Firebird leader."
"I also think it is most likely Immortal Bird."
Immortal Bird, This creature also has many other names.
Flamebird, Nirvana Demon Bird, Eternal Bird... and the most well-known and widely circulated name among many biological races--Phoenix.
They are pure elemental life forms, which usually do not have material entities in the conventional sense. Their bodies are entirely composed of highly condensed pure flames that are like substance.
Their number is very rare in Material Plane. They are the undoubted kings of birds and beasts, possessing the supernatural authority to command and control most bird-like creatures.
They are born with extraordinary Legendary Realm talents. As long as they don't die prematurely, they will definitely become Legendary Realm sooner or later.
And the most crucial point is:
The reason why Immortal Bird is called "immortal" is because in a conventional sense, they are really difficult to kill.
Because of this, all Immortal Bird can live forever Immortal Realm.
"In addition, according to cross-verification of multiple intelligence sources, when the firebird had a fierce battle with the giant python king entrenched in Zelin, a brilliant cloud of fire suddenly ignited over Lost-Track Marsh, almost covering the entire sky."
Iron Dragon Sorog continued his analysis, "This scene was witnessed by many creatures."
"They also heard the cry coming from the depths of the fire cloud, and saw the flames all over the sky finally shrinking and shaping into the outline of a huge bird."
"This scene is very consistent with the Nirvana phenomenon described in the inherited knowledge."
If the target is really a Immortal Bird, then in the fierce battle between it and Python King, there is a high probability that Nirvana was used once.
"The supernatural talents possessed by Nirvana--Immortal Bird, their core skills."
Garos's mind was immersed in the inherited knowledge, searching for detailed records about this talent. He inevitably became very interested in it, and could even be called greedy.
"Whenever Immortal Bird encounters a strong enemy and is forced into a difficult situation."
"They will take the initiative to set themselves on fire and perform a heroic self-immolation. At the cost of a short period of death, they will erupt in destructive and violent flames to eliminate threats."
"Then, Immortal Bird will be reborn from the ashes, Nirvana, and come back intact and in full glory to fight again."
There is no doubt that this is a magical skill among magical skills.
Theoretically speaking, although Immortal Bird does not have unlimited lifespan, through Nirvana Divine Skill, it can circumvent the lifespan limit and achieve another form of immortality.
But.
Ways of pursuing immortality such as Lich transformation rituals are often accompanied by huge flaws.
Unless one's own life level reaches the true Divinity Immortal Realm, any form of "immortality" will inevitably require paying a corresponding price.
Immortal Bird and Nirvana also have shortcomings that cannot be ignored.
Dragon Inheritance clearly records that Immortal Bird and Nirvana usually have two modes.
One is Immediate Nirvana used in fierce battles.
This method is usually used during fierce battles and can be used multiple times in a short period of time, but there is a limit to the number of times it can be used.
Even if Immortal Bird successfully enters Legendary Realm, it can usually only perform Nirvana at most three times in one battle.
The second is Rebirth Nirvana, which is used at the end of life or in desperate situations.
Whenever a Immortal Bird's natural lifespan is about to come to an end, or when they are still unable to win and fall into complete despair after Immediate Nirvana many times, they will choose to perform this final form of Nirvana.
In this state, Immortal Bird's entire body will completely dissipate.
Its soul, its memory, its knowledge... all the information that constitutes its existence will be transmitted to a safe place in an unstoppable way and condensed into an ember egg containing new power.
After a longer or shorter gestation period, a new Immortal Bird will be resurrected from the egg.
It will have almost all the memory and knowledge of the previous Immortal Bird.
However, for the newly born Immortal Bird, it is more like reading a long experience about other creatures from the perspective of a bystander.
Its character, its emotions, its cognition will be reshaped and changed.
Although in terms of soul essence and memory continuity, it is still the same Immortal Bird, but for those who are familiar with its previous form, it has almost become a completely different new consciousness.
"The so-called complete Rebirth Nirvana is not so much rebirth as it is the birth of a new consciousness with all the memories of the past on the corpses and embers of the past."
Garos thought in his mind, "For the Immortal Bird individual who only chose Rebirth Nirvana... this is also a kind of death, and it has disappeared by itself."
"If it were me, I would definitely do everything possible to avoid being forced to do this Nirvana."
"However, this in itself is designed as a last resort to save life. Being able to use it means that you are desperate."
In addition, Immortal Bird and Nirvana have some other shortcomings.
For example, even Immediate Nirvana with a limited number of times is not perfect in the true sense. Every time Nirvana will inevitably lose part of the memory and knowledge.
Moreover, Nirvana is not a passively triggered life-saving skill.
It requires Immortal Bird to actively use it. If there is an enemy that is so powerful that it cannot react at all, and launches a surprise attack at a speed that exceeds its perception and reaction, with a fatal blow, then Immortal Bird will be unable to activate Nirvana in time, thus ushering in a real and complete death.
But no matter how many shortcomings and limitations there are, it cannot change the fact that Nirvana is a magical skill.
The mystery and power of the Immortal Bird tribe are all due to the existence of Nirvana's talent.
"If I have the opportunity to carefully and deeply study the body structure of a Immortal Bird, I may be able to discover some of the secrets of Nirvana and have the opportunity to evolve similar skills through my talent."
Garos feels that the talent of Nirvana is very suitable for him and should be used by him.
Dragon Jade can give him a second chance to fight, which is equivalent to a second life. There is no risk of memory loss or personality change. It is an extremely good life-saving trump card, but it is still inferior to Immortal Bird's abnormal talent of Nirvana.
In addition, in Eternal Death Pathway, which he plans to take concurrently, the improvement in strength is often closely related to near-death experiences and death perceptions.
But even with Dragon Jade's support, he couldn't really experience death. At most, he would be infinitely close to that state, which would be a little tasteless after all.
If Nirvana can be resurrected from the dead, then the improvement effect on Eternal Death Pathway can probably reach an incredible level.
"The leader of the flock of birds currently inhabiting Lost-Track Marsh, it's best if it really is a Immortal Bird."
Garos restrained some divergent thoughts and brought his attention back to reality.
He said to Iron Dragon Sorog through his spiritual connection, "Send more elite scout units to disperse and lurk in the area around Lost-Track Marsh to get more accurate information about the new Map King and keep an eye on it."
He is in no hurry to attack Lost-Track Marsh immediately.
First of all, Lost-Track Marsh is located in the northwest region near the middle of the wilderness. It is relatively far away from the current core territory of the Molten Iron Tribe. It also crosses the territories of other Map King in the middle. The risk of long-distance expeditions is high.
Secondly, Molten Iron Tribe's current number of air force units is stretched thin.
The Wyvern group is stationed in Borderlands, and the number of Kora Giant Eagles is relatively limited. It is currently mainly responsible for reconnaissance, early warning and investigation tasks. If it faces a target with the talent of commanding birds and beasts, it may be instigated to rebel.
If the opponent is really a Immortal Bird, it will definitely be an extremely difficult opponent.
Immortal Bird's instantaneous explosive power and destructive power in the same level of battle are inferior to the superior Dragonkin, but in terms of survivability, long-term combat capability and resistance to killing, it is several levels higher than the superior Dragonkin.
If it was determined to avoid fighting and flee, it would be extremely difficult to capture it due to its elemental characteristics, flight speed, and control over the flock of birds.
To safely deal with this suspected target of Immortal Bird, Garos needs a more careful strategy and a more suitable time.
Besides.
In addition to Immortal Bird's Nirvana talent that makes Garos coveted, it is worth exploring, if a huge number of flying biomes can be brought under his command. By then, Molten Iron Tribe will have its own elite legion and the new Lion-beast legion on land; it will have an army of raptors that can cover the sky; it will also have corresponding talents in logistics, blacksmithing, magic and other fields.
It can be said that Molten Iron Tribe has nothing missing at this stage.
This giant beast that thrives in blood and fire will truly have the strong capital to dominate the entire Ser Wilderness.
After communicating with Sorog about the future strategic direction for a period of time, Garos ended the spiritual communication.
His body shattered the rain curtain, and soon after, he landed in a nearby open space.
The surface here is dotted with countless huge depressions and pits, and the pits and the surrounding land present a glass-like crystal texture, like a special landform formed by the melting of sand and rock at unimaginable high temperatures.
--It's all caused by Garos.
After landing on the ground, Garos directly turned on Exhilarated State.
Crackling! The bright Golden Lightning burst out from between the scales and intertwined around them.
Immediately afterwards, Red Iron Dragon began to exercise day after day in the heavy rain and scorched earth. Every movement set off a roaring wind, causing the ground to tremble slightly.
And as time goes by slowly.
When the heat energy Dragon Jade stored in the body was enough, Garos temporarily stopped moving and took out a piece of Black Oil Crystal from the space prop.
He threw the crystal into his mouth and drank a bucket of highly concentrated 98 Black Oil.
After doing all this, Garos took a deep breath of hot air, and then turned on Red Lotus Form directly.
Buzz--!
As the enchanting lines of fire intertwined and shone on the scales on his body, heat waves surged around him, the air twisted, and countless rainwater evaporated, just like the end of the world.
His blood began to burn in his body, causing bursts of tearing pain, but he seemed unaware of it.
On the contrary, Red Iron Dragon even grinned uncontrollably, revealing a frightening "perverted" smile that was a mixture of pain and pleasure, and then started a new round of extreme intensity exercise under Red Lotus Form.
Soon after.
When the scales on Garos's body cracked over a large area, with countless deep black cracks spread throughout, and wisps of white smoke emerged from the cracks, he finally slowly exhaled a hot breath of sparks, and Red Lotus Pattern's body surface also gradually dimmed and calmed down, and was finally extinguished completely.
The rain poured on him, and the remaining high temperature evaporated countless smoke, which continued to hiss.
"The new batch of investment from Crystal Princess has not been delivered yet, and the Black Oil Crystal I have in reserve has been almost used up."
Garos was bathed in the wind and rain and thought to himself, "I need to ask Tressie to come and bring me all the spare Black Oil Crystal that are temporarily stored in Borderlands's warehouse."
This thing can not only enhance the training effect, but also temporarily make him stronger.
The wilderness is becoming increasingly dangerous, so he'd better prepare some Black Oil Crystal for emergencies.
Thinking of this, he immediately contacted White Dragon Tressie using Communication Artifact and asked her to bring Black Oil Crystal as soon as possible.
White Dragon Tressie agreed without hesitation, took Black Oil Crystal and set off immediately.
But what she didn't know was that besides Black Oil Crystal, there was another thing that needed her to deal with.
"It just so happens that Heriam and Kaxier have made formal requests to me more than once, hoping that I can approve their revenge actions against Tressie and avenge their previous shame."
"They have made a lot of achievements recently. I should take their request seriously and approve it."
Red Iron Dragon remembered something interesting.
He grinned widely, and a slightly evil smile appeared on the dragon's face.
White Dragon Tressie used his own understanding of the ecological niche theory to give several Young Adult Dragons severe bullying and frustration education in their early stages of growth. Although it was very effective, it also inevitably aroused the resistance of the little dragons.
Today.
The first batch of little dragons have grown up to the point where they can stand alone, and they suppress the raging fire of revenge in their hearts.
Garos is very curious, how White Dragon Tressie will respond to the fierce counterattack from the victims who have become more mature.
As before, relying on his age and Life Level's advantage, he suppressed the dragons' counterattack and insulted them even more intensely; or he used other methods to eliminate the malicious intentions of the Young Adult Dragons who were getting stronger...Garos decided to take a look with his own eyes.
