Kill!
After the dust of Lightless Jungle's battle has settled.
Beholder died completely, while Immortal Bird and Sacred Spirit Deer officially submitted to the powerful Molten Iron Tribe as feudal lords.
At this point, the dispute between several Map Kings that did not last long came to an end.
Among the major regions in the vast wilderness, compared with other regions, the northwest region took the lead in competing for the first Regional King winner worthy of the name.
--Molten Iron King.
If it were another young and vigorous dragon, after achieving such a glorious victory, he might become complacent and think that his strength is already the best in the wilderness, and then he can't wait to declare war on the entire wilderness, setting off a new round of conquest craze.
However, Molten Iron King was not dazzled by the victory.
He calmly chose a completely different path.
Garos knows very well in his heart that this victory and the identity of Regional King that comes with it are essentially nothing more than illusory names.
His ability to successfully subdue all the Map King in the northwest region in one fell swoop was based on his own strength, but to a large extent it was also due to luck, and he captured the fleeting perfect opportunity.
In other vast areas, there may also be powerful beings with unfathomable strength hidden.
It's just that their movements are relatively slow and their integration has not yet been completed.
For example, Mad King and Red Dragon Gorsas are entrenched in the central area.
He has long been famous in the central region, and his cruelty and destructive power are frightening.
Compared with expending effort to unify the territory, Gorsas is obviously more addicted to the pleasure brought by pure destruction and destruction.
He would even break into the territory of other areas on a whim, causing a bloody riot.
There is also the Mushroom King from the southeast region who has never been seen before.
It advances slowly inch by inch, covering the surface with its unique carpet of bacteria, gradually transforming the surrounding environment and ecology.
This cannibalistic development strategy requires a longer investment than the steady and steady strategy adopted by the Molten Iron Tribe before.
Therefore.
Even if there is a similar opportunity coming to the southeast region.
With the expansion mode of Mushroom King, it is absolutely impossible to grasp it as keenly as Garos.
With the existence of these powerful creatures, it is very difficult for the Molten Iron Tribe to continue expanding beyond the northwest.
Once faced with those Regional King seed players who also stand out in the fierce competition, if the battle cannot be resolved quickly, the entire Molten Iron Tribe will most likely be dragged into the quagmire of a protracted war, eventually ruining the gains that have been accumulated so hard.
Besides.
The abundant resources currently controlled by the northwest region alone are enough to meet the needs of Garos and the entire group of dragons. It can even be said to be more than enough.
Based on the above considerations, Garos finally made the decision to stop external expansion.
After experiencing successive fierce and high-intensity wars, the family members began to shrink their minions in an orderly manner and turn their energy inward.
Led by experienced leaders, they went deep into various parts of the northwest to mine and exploit various rare resources.
Establish strong sentries and strongholds at key strategic locations and transportation nodes.
Invest efforts to maintain the stability and smooth flow of important business routes.
Through this series of meticulous and pragmatic measures, the tribe is continuing to consolidate its control over the northwest region.
But even so, given the current size of the Molten Iron Tribe, it still seems a little unable to fully control this vast map.
Molten Iron Tribe urgently needs to add more people. It needs to penetrate the influence of the tribe into every inch of the land, so that the dragon flag symbolizing Molten Iron Tribe can truly be planted in every corner of the northwest, thereby completely consolidating its ruling foundation.
Only after this foundation is solidified can the tribe truly have the solid possibility of continuing to expand to other areas.
Right now, the top priority is to concentrate on grabbing all kinds of precious resources from this newly conquered land and fully digesting the rich fruits of this victory.
As time passed quietly, the changes that occurred in the northwest region gradually spread to the entire wilderness.
The birth of a new Regional King has undoubtedly aroused the high vigilance and vigilance of many Map King.
Even though Molten Iron King has clearly expressed his intention to suspend expansion, his existence itself still makes many powerful creatures in the wilderness feel uneasy and fearful in their hearts.
Just think about it.
When the fierce competition in other regions had just ended, a new king was born, and he was at the critical moment of preparing to harvest the fruits of victory.
Molten Iron King in the northwest region has most likely achieved further breakthroughs by integrating and utilizing northwest resources.
When the time comes, can he really still be able to resist the raging ambition to continue to expand in his heart?
Even if Garos solemnly declares to the entire wilderness that he is completely satisfied with the vast territory of the northwest region and has no intention of coveting other regions.
I'm afraid it's hard to trust those wilderness entities.
On the other hand.
The essence of why such a fierce war broke out among the Map Kings in the wilderness was that when Federation's control over the wilderness was significantly weakened, all parties took the opportunity to rise and compete for hegemony.
The vast majority of beings participating in this competition are under the Legendary Realm realm.
Many of them, including Garos, are eager to use the rich resources contained in the wilderness to quickly break through to the crucial Legendary Realm.
If it were before this, Federation would have restored its previous stability and strong control.
Then all the efforts and sacrifices made in the wilderness will eventually be in vain.
Without reaching the Legendary Realm realm, once the strong men of Federation make a comeback and regain control of the wilderness, then all non-Legendary Realm existences will be forced to hibernate and hide again.
Only by truly setting foot in the Legendary Realm can you be qualified to talk to Federation.
After all, Federation itself is not monolithic, and there is also a complex game space inside.
Based on these underlying reasons, the competition for kings in other regions has obviously begun to speed up, and the intensity of the war has also increased sharply.
The entire wilderness, except for the relatively peaceful northwest area, was filled with smoke.
In this way, time passed quietly, and it was several months later in the blink of an eye.
One regrettable news is that the exploration of Malnes Dungeon is progressing extremely slowly.
In the ruins of the underground city that looked like huge ruins, Molten Iron Tribe's elites searched hard for several months, but still could not find any trace of Legendary Artifact.
As the lord of Creekwood Territory, Xia'er had to temporarily put aside his exploration work and return to his territory to deal with the long-standing backlog of affairs.
An exploration team composed of the Molten Iron Tribe elites continued to stay in the underground city, searching for possible clues day and night.
At this time, the long, wet rainy season in the wilderness seemed to be coming to an end.
Although the sky is still shrouded in haze, the thick dark clouds have become much thinner, leaving only the sparse cold drizzle, which is still falling continuously, adding a bit of desolation to the wilderness.
In a very secret cave.
A black cat with muscles all over its body and full of explosive power is walking slowly with steady and powerful limbs, surrounded by two giant dragons, one black and one green, as if it is patrolling its territory.
This black cat is Molten Iron King--Garos who used Shapeshifting Spell.
Surrounding him were Black Dragon Seraphina and Green Dragon Ludwig.
Despite being in the state of Shapeshifting Spell, Garos still continues to emit bursts of powerful Dragon Might.
This invisible coercion spread out like a substance, causing the undead creatures guarding the cave passages, whose eyes were burning with blue Soulfire, to tremble slightly involuntarily, and Soulfire swayed violently.
Shouldn't Dragon Might in the Shapeshifting Spell state be significantly weakened?
Black Dragon Seraphina and Green Dragon Ludwig looked at each other calmly, and they read the same surprise in each other's eyes.
They clearly felt that the Dragon Might emanating from the leader at this moment was no worse than the last time they met.
The leader seems to be getting stronger.
Actually.
Garos doesn't just seem to be getting stronger.
He has really become stronger.
"The resources of the wilderness are much richer than those of Borderlands. Even the northwest region under my control is rich enough for me to enjoy."
Garos took the cat steps and sighed in his heart.
Compared with before, life is much better now.
As the territory gradually stabilized, the tribe's operation entered an efficient track.
During this period of time, Molten Iron Tribe has seized massive amounts of precious resources from the northwest.
Dazzling magic gems, a wide variety of rare precious metals, advanced magic plants with special effects, and amazing reserves of Black Oil.
Garos devours these resources in large quantities almost every day as if they were ordinary food.
Moreover, he did not just taste it lightly, but devoured it like a glutton without any scruples.
In addition, during this relatively peaceful period, the three powerful family members Amethyst Dragon Lion, Sacred Spirit Deer, and Immortal Bird often served as Garos's sparring partners.
They take turns in battle, using their own attacks to temper Garos's body, improving his resistance to different types of damage.
Sacred Spirit Deer will also heal and restore Garos's injuries, making him more durable.
This kind of high-intensity exercise is enough to digest what he eats quickly and efficiently.
The two cooperate with each other, so that even though Garos is already Young Dragon, it still seems to have the same rapid growth as Adolescent Dragon.
Continue to develop according to this trend.
In a few years, Garos will be able to naturally break through the current level and reach level 18 without having to go through a long period of sleep.
If we were to go through the sleeping evolution that Young Adult Stage should have on this basis.
So, reaching level 20 when he first enters adulthood is by no means an unattainable goal.
As for the level 21 that symbolizes the otherworldly--Legendary Realm.
This is a huge watershed, and it is extremely difficult to break through.
An ordinary level 20 Dragonkin usually takes at least two hundred years to take that step forward and finally step into the palace of the Legendary Realm.
Garos is naturally far from an ordinary Dragonkin.
His talent, resource accumulation and training methods are destined to greatly shorten the time required for this process.
However, even with such advantages, if no other special opportunities come, Garos is not completely sure deep down. It is very difficult to become Legendary Realm in adulthood, and there are very few in the entire inheritance record.
A few minutes later.
After passing through a long, deep and dark corridor and passing through a secret door, the scene before Garos suddenly became clear.
He arrived at the core area of this Undead Cavern.
What comes into view are countless runes that are densely packed and dazzling.
The runes shining with dark light are not chaotic, but are neatly classified and gathered together.
They are like chains, extending from an ancient altar in the center of the space, densely covering the entire huge space.
The surface, the surrounding walls, and even the high domes.
They are all occupied by these runic chains that shine with mysterious luster.
And in the center where all the rune chains gathered, on an altar made of some kind of black rock, a person was lying quietly at this moment.
This is a human male.
His skin was sagging and covered with deep wrinkles, and his face was haggard and haggard, but he could still vaguely discern some facial contours that were familiar to Garos.
He is the leader who once controlled Gem Merchants' Guild, Nick, and one of the earliest followers of Garos.
Decades have made Garos become more powerful, but this human has aged to the state of a rotten tree.
As early as the beginning of the Undead Lair renovation project, Nick left his business group under the order of Garos and came to Creekwood Town to wait patiently.
Now, he was sent to the core of this Undead Cavern to receive the first Dragonforged Transformation Ritual.
Garos came here in person out of curiosity and attention, preparing to observe the entire ceremony.
"Great Molten Iron King, everything needed for the first Dragon Scale Transformation Ritual, we are ready."
"When would you like the ceremony to officially begin?"
Black Dragon Seraphina and Green Dragon Ludwig had already walked to the altar and asked Garos.
Under the gaze of the two, the muscular black cat's body began to undergo startling changes.
His size expanded rapidly, and his smooth black fur was replaced by hard scales that shimmered with metallic luster.
The majestic dragon horns pierce the top of the head and grow out, and the broad and powerful wings suddenly spread out from behind.
In just a few breaths, the muscular cat disappeared, replaced by Molten Iron King's majestic, oppressive real body Red-Iron Dragon.
The space here is much wider than the previous narrow corridor, enough to accommodate the body of Garos.
"Start now."
Red Iron Dragon said.
"As you command, my king!"
Green Dragon Ludwig responded immediately.
He flexibly rolled up a special, tightly sealed metal bucket with his tail.
What is contained in the barrel is the blood of Red Iron Dragon given by Garos.
Garos's daily exercise was extremely intense, and he also went through many fierce battles. During this period, he collected some Dragon Blood and accumulated them in storage, which was enough for the Dragon Vein Conversion ceremony.
Green Dragon used the tip of its flexible and slender tail as a pen to dip into the sticky and hot Dragon Blood in the bucket.
Then, he began to use Dragon Blood to outline dragon scale-like outlines and textures on some specific key parts of the body of human Nick on the altar.
At the same time.
Black Dragon slowly closed his eyes.
A low and hoarse mantra began to recite from her mouth in a fluctuating tone.
As the rhythmic roar of the dragon echoed in the cave, the Negative Energy that filled the space began to boil violently as if it had been awakened.
On the floor, on the walls, on the ceiling.
The countless runic chains covered with it lit up one by one as if they were injected with life, emitting a faint light.
They wrap around and cling to the limbs and torso of humans on the altar, closely connecting them with the entire demon Magic Array sequence.
Red Iron Dragon stood quietly beside the altar, taking in every detail of the ceremony.
While the transformation ceremony is going on deep in Undead Cavern.
The central area of Ser Wilderness.
A huge red dragon with scales all over its body as bright as blood, as if it had just bathed in a pool of blood, was soaring wantonly in the gloomy leaden sky, unabashedly exuding an aura of violence, ferocity, and chaos.
Wherever you go.
Whether it was the raptors in the sky or the giant beasts on the ground, they all ran away in fear, not daring to get close to the overlord of the sky.
--Mad King, Red Dragon Gorsas.
He soared aimlessly in the vast sky for a while, seemingly looking for some kind of fun.
Soon, he locked onto a nearby human principality base.
A cruel and excited smile spread across the dragon's face, and Gorsas let out a deafening laugh.
Immediately, like a meteorite wrapped in the aura of flames and death, the red dragon swooped down and descended.
Soon after.
The poor human base was completely enveloped and swallowed up by the raging flames.
The once vibrant camp instantly turned into a charred purgatory.
The earth cracked and melted under the high temperature of Dragon Breath.
All the guards who tried to resist were easily crushed and burned like ants in the face of Gorsas's absolute power, leaving no one alive.
The red dragon Gorsas wanders among the fresh ruins and scorched earth.
Feeling the aura of despair and destruction in the air, his face showed a trace of satisfied joy, and his desire to kill was temporarily subdued.
However, this brief sense of satisfaction did not last long.
As if remembering something disturbing, the expression on Gorsas's thorny dragon face quickly turned nasty and gloomy.
"The so-called Regional King in the northwest seems to be very popular recently, and his name has even reached my ears."
He roared lowly, his voice full of disdain and annoyance.
Molten Iron King, the ruler of the northwest region, is a guy who belongs to Dragonkin just like him.
And from those rumors, it seems that his reputation has a tendency to overshadow his own?
This made the red dragon Gorsas feel extremely unhappy, as if his majesty had been challenged.
"I heard it was a hybrid created by Red Dragon and Iron Dragon?"
"Haha, you are a bastard who knows nothing about the world! If I let you dominate for a few more days, I will soon kill you with my own hands and tear off your head and use it as a ball."
Gorsas let out a low growl filled with malice.
Red dragon mixed with Iron Dragon.
This description made Gorsas feel a faint sense of familiarity deep in his heart, but he was irritable by nature and was too lazy to delve into the source of this trivial sense of familiarity.
On the contrary.
Knowing that the other party also had the blood of the red dragon flowing in his body, not only did this not make him feel any kindred spirit, it actually aroused his twisted excitement and desire for destruction.
However, Gorsas has no immediate plans to leave for the northwest.
He always behaves as he pleases.
Before that, this Mad King is going to meet his dear Laetitia. By the way, he will personally verify whether the news that Frenzied Flame reappeared in the sinkhole is true.
