The Legend of Red Lion City

Caelid.

This place is currently a place that adventurers fear to even mention.

The Scarlet Corruption blooms everywhere is more terrifying than any poison. Fighting there, even the slightest contact of a wound with the faint red mist floating in the air can lead to infection. And to roll around in that crimson Aeonia Swamp... well, that's the experience.

It's absolutely wonderful.

In addition, there are ferocious monsters all over Caelid, most of which are infected with Scarlet Corruption. Every move they make on adventurers can cause an accumulation of Scarlet Corruption, and adventurers with weak constitutions can be infected with the corruption in no time.

This led to an unprecedented fear among everyone in Caelid of monster swarms. If they were accidentally rubbed into and infected with Corruption during battle, and didn't have the Rotten Moss Medicine to cure Scarlet Corruption, a slow, no, rapid death awaited them.

"Here, this Rotten Moss Medicine. Use it sparingly."

Caelid, in an abandoned ruin.

Lu Lu Wo distributed several small, bright red balls to everyone, saying, "Although we still have quite a few, each person can only eat a maximum of four today. Any more than that and drug resistance will develop."

"Do you want it?" She looked at You Fei and her group again, holding the Rotten Moss Medicine.

"We have some," You Fei said, shaking the medicine bottle on her body. "Besides, our constitutions are a bit special, so the rate at which decay accumulates in our bodies should be slower than yours. So if you don't have enough to eat, just come and ask us for some."

"Let's help each other out," Yi Sha said with a friendly smile, and Fan En nodded in agreement.

The team now looks very harmonious and friendly.

Rotten Moss Medicine isn't exactly rare, with a yield similar to high-quality Green Blossom, yet it's in high demand from adventurers exploring Caelid, and almost every batch that enters the market is immediately wiped out.

After all, no one would complain about having too many medications on their body.

However, the Rotten Moss Medicine is not permanent. When taken for the first time, it can completely remove the Scarlet Corruption from the adventurer's body. But if taken too many times in a short period of time, or if the Scarlet Corruption comes from a high-level monster like the Cleanrot Knight, the effect of the Rotten Moss Medicine will decrease with each use. It will take a long time for it to recover its original effect.

People had never encountered drug resistance before.

After much deliberation, the outsiders concluded that the Scarlet Corruption was far more potent than the toxins of the Farron Keep they had encountered before, which was why even the Rotten Moss Medicine could not completely cure it.

The monsters infected by corruption are also exceptionally grotesque, with deformed giant dogs resembling Overlord, Rotten Wild Dog with bloodied skin, and Rotten Kindred capable of launching intercontinental cruise missiles called "worm silk." These monsters, whose level of horror has increased even more than those in the previous areas, have become powerful evidence of the harm caused by the Scarlet Corruption.

In this context, people naturally develop curiosity and a desire to explore things like Scarlet Corruption.

However, all that is known so far is that Valkyrie Malenia released this toxin during her battle with Starscourge General Radahn. No other information is available. Perhaps this substance was created by Malenia.

I can't even imagine what it's like for Radahn is at the epicenter of the outbreak.

"Abei and the other guy should be back by now. Why have they been gone for so long?"

You Fei looked towards the horizon, but still didn't see the figure returning, and couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Aren't they both dragons? They'll definitely be fine," Fan En reassured him.

As mentioned before, You Fei has two real dragon disciples, but when they first arrived, they were beaten by the mad dragons on the border and hospitalized. After being discharged, they went straight to the Arnor Kingdom. Only now that the two countries are connected can they return here through the portal of the Zane Dungeon and finally meet You Fei and the others.

Fan En had always been curious about the two of them, and it wasn't until he actually met them recently that he was able to sigh with admiration.

"What a distinct character."

The group waited for a while in the cleared ruins, and finally the two figures they were waiting for appeared on the horizon. Even from a distance, they could see the two pairs of strong and powerful wings of the other party, which were clearly the wings of a dragon, and beneath those wings was a human body.

"Boom!"

They descended from the sky, creating a gust of wind, their wings folding as they landed.

"Abei, Mor, how's the situation?"

As the smoke and dust stirred up by the wind dissipated, two bald heads emerged from the crowd.

Two burly men, dressed only in vests and trousers, with slicked-back hair and strikingly similar features, made a grand entrance, exuding the aura of cold-blooded killers!

A robust physique and the impeccable style of a strong person—this is exactly the kind of "powerful physical attributes that Lu Lu Wo had mentioned earlier!

These two are You Fei's Dragon Disciples!

There's only one way to tell the two apart: Abei's vest is yellow, Mor's is green; each has their own unique style.

"."

The two cold-blooded assassins fell silent for a moment.

"I found it first!"

"No, I discovered it first!"

"Shut up, you four-legged fat pig!"

What is that two-legged greyhound barking about?

In an instant, the cold-blooded killer broke down and transformed into a noisy schoolchild, running up to You Fei as if seeking praise, and even exchanging a sarcastic remark.

Looking at the scene before her, Lu Lu Wo suddenly remembered that there were indeed a considerable number of dragons living in the Warrior Country, and that there was considerable controversy and disagreement about Bipedal Dragon or Quadrupedal Dragon.

You Fei's ability to take both the Bipedal Dragon Abei and the Quadrupedal Dragon Mor as his apprentices without letting them fight demonstrates his skill in handling conflicts.

You Fei gave each of them a gentle flick on the forehead and said, "Abei, you go first, is Red Lion City really in that direction?"

Abei, wearing a yellow vest, immediately said:

"I don't know if that's Red Lion City, but there's only one truly magnificent city in the entire Caelid, and I even saw an army of Redmane Soldier roaming around there. It's definitely Red Lion City!"

"You've always had the best eyesight, I trust you."

She tossed a candy to Abei, who immediately opened his mouth to catch it, his face beaming with happiness.

"Then, Mor, transform back into your dragon form and lead us there."

"Alright, teacher, our Quadrupedal Dragon have much stronger stamina than the weak Bipedal Dragon!" Mor said, not forgetting to make a sarcastic remark to Abei, who immediately glared at him angrily, but Mor just smiled and ignored him.

Dragons within the Warrior Country who possess wisdom and the ability to learn can master a technique that allows them to switch between dragon and human forms. Each form has its own advantages, but each switch requires a considerable cooling-off period.

It is said that this technology was created long, long ago in the Warrior Country by a Great Court Magic Sage, truly a testament to the wisdom of the ancients.

Incidentally, the technique Fan En's father used to transform monsters into humans was also derived from the Magic Sage's technique.

"Gulp, uh, hiss"

With a strange groan, Mor's body gradually swelled until it transformed into a dark green Quadrupedal Dragon with prominent horns and a broad back large enough to support everyone present!

He does look somewhat overweight.

"Let's go. Now that we've found our way, let's take a look at Red Lion City first," You Fei said enthusiastically.

"Is it really okay to leave the Sellia's Magic Array alone?" Lu Lu Wo was still a little worried, after all, today's target should have been the Magic Town, but You Fei suddenly changed the target after entering.

"Don't worry, Lan Le won't say much, and he's also curious about Red Lion City."

With You Fei's assurance, the Skyrim Strategy Team finally managed to climb onto Mor's back. Once everyone had used magic to secure themselves to the back, the four-legged dragon flapped its wings and soared into the sky like a cannonball, displaying a power capable of smashing mountains!

"Slow down!" You Fei immediately tapped him on the head, slowing him down instantly.

As Mor took the transportation to the building that resembled Red Lion City, the group began to chat.

"I heard Red Lion City is going to hold Battle Festival? It's actually quite similar to this country's War Festival." Bei Er Tuo pushed up his glasses. "Could there be some connection?"

"I don't know. I only found out two days ago that there's a Battle Festival in the Zane Dungeon." You Fei shook her head.

Information about the Battle Festival came from a group of ordinary adventurers.

It is said that the adventurers heard cries for help while wandering in Limgrave. When they ran to the sound, they found a Warrior Pot stuck in a deep pit.

And it can talk!

Although the adventurers were quite frightened, they still managed to rescue the other party with great effort. After some conversation, they confirmed that the Warrior Pot in front of them was not a monster, but a remnant image that could be communicated normally. His name was Alexander, and he was said to have embarked on a journey to become stronger, a very classic character setting.

After Alexander was rescued, he rewarded the adventurer. When the adventurer returned after receiving the blessing, Alexander had disappeared. It's worrying that Alexander might fall into the same trap again.

However, before leaving, the other party revealed some explosive information for the adventurers: he was going to attend the Battle Festival held in Red Lion City, to fight General Radahn alongside various heroes, and he also invited the adventurers who had saved him to come along.

The adventurers were both shocked and excited, and readily agreed, and then...

He went to the Golden Lion Merchant Guild and sold the information for a good price, and never entered the dungeon again after that.

As it turns out, when enough people enter the underground city, even the hidden treasures tucked away in the nooks and crannies will eventually be unearthed.

You Fei naturally learned of this as well, and after entering the Zane Dungeon today, she Temporary Modification her goal, first sending out two of her dragon disciples to scout ahead and find the Red Lion City.

However, given that Abemaur and the Skyward raiding team haven't had a chance to defeat Grik yet, they've chosen to enter the dungeon through Grik's Memories.

"Battle Festival, War Festival"

You Fei kept repeating those two words, and when she thought about Alexander's words about being able to fight against Radahn at the Battle Festival, she suddenly felt that the Battle Festival was more attractive.

If I could really spar with Radahn, it wouldn't be a bad idea to get her to give up the War Festival!

"Look, we're almost there, that's the city."

Abei spoke, and people waited a while before they saw the huge city perched atop an endless wilderness in the distance. Even from afar, one could feel a chilling atmosphere. It was a true military fortress, and it wouldn't be surprising to find tens of thousands of soldiers inside.

"This must be Red Lion City." You Fei made the judgment simply by sensing the aura.

It wasn't just the sheer presence; in front of Red Lion City, they even saw massive numbers of soldiers, each clad in armor and wielding sharp weapons, their fighting spirit soaring into the sky.

It makes one think that these Redmane Soldiers could take on ten Godrick Soldiers each!

"They seem to be fighting a giant dog?"

A small group of soldiers broke off from the large contingent and charged ahead to fight the giant hounds invading the camp, while the main force remained stationary, like an impregnable high wall, firmly guarding the entrance to Red Lion City.

"Slow down here."

You Fei called out, then looked at the Redmane Soldier fighting the giant dog.

The soldiers' combat style when facing monsters is still so well-coordinated and skillful that it's a pleasure to watch.

The giant hounds' ferocious aggression and sharp teeth meant that just two or three of them could rout an entire adventurer's party, often leaving the adventurers suffering greatly and in considerable pain.

Experienced adventurers know that in the Zane Dungeon, "beast-type enemies" are like "Mad Dog." Therefore, even if they encounter a monster they have never met before, as long as they see that it has the appearance of a fierce beast, they will definitely choose to go around it and not fight it no matter how rich the reward is!

In the battlefield below, the Redmane Soldier held their own against more than ten giant dogs, killing all the beasts with lightning speed and minimal casualties.

"From now on, I'll train my troops using this coordination model," You Fei muttered to herself.

She saw many Redmane Soldier present, but recalling that she had seen them all over Caelid, she figured that only a small portion of the Radahn army remained here, with the majority of soldiers out fighting corruption.

"Charge straight in and get over the wall!" she commanded. Mor immediately accelerated toward the top of the city wall, intending to jump directly over the closed city gate.

If you can fly, you should naturally take advantage of that!

Seeing this, Lu Lu Wo looked terrified and cried out repeatedly, "No! We can't fly over like that! Someone will definitely be buried!"

"Gala Lala"

Before she could finish speaking, she heard the sound of a huge mechanism making a noise.

"Catapults, a whole bunch of catapults!"

All the Redmane Soldier noticed them, and all the catapults started moving at the same time, with cannonballs burning fiercely ready to be fired.

And it wasn't just the catapults; the Redmane Knight on the ground all picked up their great bows, nocked arrows, and pointed them at the distant Mor on the horizon. Deep purple Gravity Magic gathered power on the arrows.

Suddenly, a breach appeared in the city wall facing Mor, revealing a strangely shaped mechanism inside.

This mechanism was modified by Gong Qiying to better suit the style of Red Lion City, but the original design was...

Dragon-Slaying Spear!
