In the high-altitude clouds, Luo Yun concealed his presence, watching the Brachydios depart with its unique flight pattern. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
After Luo Yun's battle with the Great Jagras, followed by the Brachydios' bombardment, this area was likely devoid of prey.
Remembering the direction the Great Jagras had left, Luo Yun flew off in another direction.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, Luo Yun returned carrying a Herbivore Dragon. Ya Ji, the entire dragon, appeared somewhat flustered.
In her opinion, Luo Yun shouldn't have taken so long to go hunting.
If her wings hadn't been fully recovered yet, she would have already set out to find Luo Yun.
Seeing Luo Yun bring back prey, Ya Ji didn't immediately start eating. Instead, she approached Luo Yun and circled him, examining him closely.
When she saw some of Luo Yun's healed wounds, Ya Ji felt relieved.
It was obvious Luo Yun had been in a fight, but judging by the size of the wounds, the battle was within an acceptable range and would heal after a night's sleep.
As for what Luo Yun had fought, she didn't care.
In this world, combat was unavoidable. The fact that Luo Yun had returned explained everything.
As long as the outcome was good, the process didn't matter at all.
After confirming, Ya Ji finally began to eat with peace of mind.
Luo Yun, meanwhile, went to the side to chat with the Detter Chief, who had been waiting for a long time.
"So you're not planning to migrate?"
The Detter Chief had already prepared itself mentally, so it wasn't surprised by this news. What it was curious about was why Luo Yun had changed his mind.
After all, it was an Ancient Dragon that had caused all this unrest.
Hiding and fleeing were the most instinctive and common methods.
After Luo Yun reiterated that he wasn't planning to migrate, he didn't offer much explanation, simply letting the Detter Chief make its own decision as always.
Having finished his instructions, Luo Yun returned to his nest to rest.
After the events of the day, he had begun to form a plan in his mind.
He intended to try and drive away the Mist Dragon!
This was not a wild fantasy or a wishful thought.
If it were another Ancient Dragon, driving it away would be very difficult. But with the Mist Dragon as the target, it seemed not entirely impossible.
After carefully sorting through his thoughts, Luo Yun realized that this Mist Dragon seemed to be not yet fully grown.
Adult Mist Dragons were typically around 20 meters long, but the one encountered today was much smaller than Ya Ji, perhaps only about 13 meters.
The reason it had caused such a large disturbance was mainly due to its innate poison and its extremely wide-ranging poisonous fog.
Its actual combat strength hadn't reached that of a normal Ancient Dragon.
Furthermore, the Mist Dragon's camouflage was no longer perfect in front of Luo Yun. Within a certain range, Luo Yun could accurately pinpoint the Mist Dragon's location and see its actions using his Mind's Eye. The poisonous fog didn't have as much of a suppressive effect on Luo Yun as it did on other creatures.
Under these circumstances, as long as his flames could be further strengthened, and he could locate the Mist Dragon and engage it in a sufficiently large-scale battle.
Yes, it just needed to be a big commotion!
Even with further improvement, Luo Yun's current flames would only pose a slight threat to the Mist Dragon. This level of strength was not enough to achieve the goal of driving it away.
But just because Luo Yun's strength wasn't enough didn't mean no other dragon's strength was sufficient.
Other dragons couldn't enter the poisonous fog to help Luo Yun fight the Mist Dragon, but the Brachydios encountered today possessed the ability to interfere in battles within the fog without entering it!
That's right, Luo Yun had set his sights on the Brachydios.
Although the Brachydios wouldn't help Luo Yun fight the Mist Dragon, Luo Yun could completely leverage the Brachydios' habits to actively draw it into the fight.
And the Mist Dragon, despite having wings, wasn't particularly agile. Its limb movements were usually quite stiff, and it had no way to quickly leave the battlefield.
If used correctly, Luo Yun could instead rely on the Brachydios' explosive scales to bombard the Mist Dragon.
This level of damage would be enough to trigger the Mist Dragon's instincts, causing it to choose to leave this place.
If it happened to inflict some physical damage on the Mist Dragon, it would be even more likely to return to its territory and stay there.
Finally, there was the even more crucial point: the noise pollution from the Safi'jiiva had finally disappeared!
Today, while recovering his strength, Luo Yun had actively absorbed Earth Vein Energy, finally escaping the disturbance of the noise, and the Earth Vein Energy began to calm down.
The source of the Mist Dragon's agitation had been cut off. As long as the ambush and expulsion were successful, given the Mist Dragon's habits, it would most likely return to its territory and continue its hidden life.
Luo Yun already had a rough outline of his plan in mind, and the next step was to figure out how to refine it.
After finishing its meal, Ya Ji went outside to the reservoir on the canopy platform to drink some water.
The Fire Dragon couple and their children had left yesterday, so Ya Ji didn't need to be vigilant of them while drinking.
Upon returning, she saw Luo Yun resting and quietly came to his side, licking his wounds.
This warm scene was witnessed by the Detter Chief, who had emerged from their dwelling, and it felt a sense of emotion.
Fire Dragons, as high-tier Wyvern Species, appeared brutal, cold, and merciless externally, but only when facing their mates did they reveal a tenderness completely different from other great beasts.
The Detter Chief had come to tell Luo Yun that they would resolutely follow Luo Yun's lead. Since Luo Yun was not leaving, neither were they.
With this approach, the entire tribe's fate was placed in Luo Yun's hands.
It understood that its tribe had no emotional attachment to Luo Yun, and their initial submission was merely due to circumstances.
However, as it spent time with Luo Yun, it discovered that Luo Yun possessed exceptionally high intelligence, a mindset and calmness unlike other Fire Dragons. He was, in essence, a highly intelligent being disguised in a Fire Dragon's skin.
Upon realizing this, the Detter Chief, after consulting with the others, decided to make this bold gamble.
Since there was no emotional bond, loyalty demonstrated through daily interaction would be enough to bring the two parties closer.
The Detters living on the outskirts of the Ancient Tree spoke of a group of people who had arrived at the border between the Ancient Forest and the Great Antlion Desert. Among them were close relatives of the Detters, known as Felynes.
These Felynes had already fully integrated into human, Dragon-human, and other demi-human societies on another continent, becoming an indispensable part of them.
So, why couldn't the Detters, as Detters, integrate among monsters?
Monsters were the true rulers of this world!
Luo Yun, unaware of the Detter Chief's plan, felt an even stranger sensation upon learning of their decision.
He himself didn't seem to resist the loyalty of these adorable Felynes!
