Once the Terrain Map took shape, the old man anxiously tried to reclaim the Eye of Truth, but Qian Wanyu moved to intercept him. Toothless retrieved the Dragon Core and struck back, trapping the wounded men in a chain of flames.
The repeated avalanches, coupled with those undying golden flames, struck fear into every one of them. They withdrew into their shells like frightened turtles.
