King Ghidorah saw them approaching, and the three heads were facing in the same direction at the same time. The middle head lowered its head and stretched towards Viserys, and a deep grunt came from its throat.
Acmot, Viserion and Vermax also stood up from the open space outside the castle, shook their bodies, and moved their wings that were already somewhat rusty after being blown by the cold wind Beyond the Wall all night.
Viserys walked up to King Ghidorah, reached out and patted the scales on the side of her neck, then turned over and rode on the dragon's back. Daenerys climbed up and sat behind him, wrapping her hands around his waist.
Four Dragons took off one after another, passed over Caste Castle, and flew in the direction of Haunted Forest.
Haunted Forest extends from Caste Castle to the west-north direction, and the trees become denser as you go deeper. These are extremely cold-resistant trees that have survived the cold wave of Beyond the Wall.
Their canopies block most of the sunlight in the forest, making the forest look gray during the day.
Looking from the air, Viserys they could only see a gray-white snow top and occasionally exposed black branches. This is one of the reasons why this place is called Haunted Forest.
Viserys made King Ghidorah lower his altitude, flying almost close to the tree crown. His mental power also spread directly to the surroundings, carefully sweeping the entire forest below.
After they flew for about half an hour, Viserys's mental power detected the aura of a group of Wights at the west edge of the southern edge of the forest.
There were about seventy or eighty Wights in the group, scattered on the edge of a forest clearing. Some were standing blankly in the snow, some were persistently bumping into tree trunks, and some were moving slowly, although from time to time some parts would fall from their bodies.
Viserys patted the side of King Ghidorah's neck, and King Ghidorah adjusted its direction and flew towards the open space where Wightss gathered.
When King Ghidorah passed over the tree crown, the Wights below reacted immediately. They raised their heads one after another. There was no expression in their empty eyes except the beating blue Flame. However, their mouths opened, making a hissing sound like the ice was breaking, and then they rushed towards the direction of King Ghidorah's flight.
Their movements are very fast now, not like the aimless wandering before. However, every time they step on the snow, no matter how hard they exert themselves, they will only make some very slight noises.
Viserys did not let King Ghidorah them land, but just let King Ghidorah hover at the edge of the clearing. Then her middle head was slightly raised, golden light gathered deep in her throat, and a Golden Ray spurted out, sweeping across the clearing.
Wherever Golden Ray passed, the bodies of Wights, who had been chasing them quickly, disappeared without leaving even a trace of ashes. The snow on the forest floor was also evaporated into white gas by the high temperature, revealing the black frozen soil below that was crystallized by the high temperature of the rays.
After Golden Ray swept a circle, almost all the Wights on the edge of the open space were gone, leaving only a few that were lucky enough to avoid them at the edge. They seemed to have no idea what was happening and continued to run in the direction of King Ghidorah.
Viserys patted the side of King Ghidorah's neck again. The head on the right side of King Ghidorah turned to the remaining Wights, and a mouthful of Dragonfire was sprayed out. The pillar of fire swept across the snow below in a fan shape, swallowing up all the Wights that were still running.
King Ghidorah's Dragonfire does not need to be burned for a long time like ordinary Flame. Those Wights turned into a ball of fire the moment they came into contact with Dragonfire, and then fell directly to the ground, continued to burn, and soon burned into a pile of coke.
In less than ten breaths, from King Ghidorah hovering directly in the air, all Wights around the open space were cleared.
Daenerys watched this scene from the dragon's back. She had seen the power of King Ghidorah Dragonfire before in Valyrian Peninsula and Free Cities, but those were all against people. This was the first time she saw Dragonfire used to deal with the legendary Wights.
The Wights that had been burnt to coke were still smoking, and the air was filled with a smell like burnt leather mixed with frozen soil. This smell was no different from burning a real person to death, but now it had a bit more of the cold smell of the North.
"Are they all dead?" Daenerys couldn't help but ask.
"Those Wightss below are all dead." Viserys used his mental power to scan the open space and confirmed that there was no residual breath before speaking. "But there should be Otherss nearby. When I sensed them just now, I found that the group of Wightss were not acting alone. There must be a commander behind them."
As soon as he finished speaking, Viserys's mental power detected an icy cold breath deep in the woods thirty kilometers north of the clearing. That breath was much stronger than Wights, and it had obvious fluctuations of Ice and Death Magic.
He concentrated his mental power and only saw a Others wearing tattered black armor, standing behind a dead Oak Tree, and holding a transparent Ice Sword in its hand.
Behind it, there is a group of about thousands of Wightss. They stand calmly behind that Others. And around that Others, there are many scattered Wights groups that look like the one they met just now.
That Others seemed to have noticed that someone had noticed its existence, but it didn't rush over to it mindlessly like the other Wights.
Because the distance between them is too far now, that Others hasn't discovered Viserys's position yet. It just stands there, with Ice Blue's eyes looking in the direction around it.
"Dany, I found a Others." Viserys said, "It is in the woods to the north. It may have awakened the Wights here, but it just didn't have time to take them away."
Daenerys followed Viserys's gaze, but she couldn't see anything. The woods below were too dense, and the location of Others was too far away.
Viserys did not let Daenerys continue to waste his efforts, and let King Ghidorah fly directly in the direction of Others.
King Ghidorah's huge wings flapped the cold air, bringing up a burst of cold air. The three heads were bowed, and their golden vertical pupils were locked on the dead woodland in front of them.
As the distance got closer, Viserys could clearly feel that Others had also discovered their existence.
In this Beyond the Wall Wilderness that is covered with ice and snow all year round, it is difficult to hide any strange atmosphere, and the violent Flame Magic fluctuations emitted by these Dragon are more like a bonfire lit in the dark night, which is really conspicuous.
As soon as King Ghidorah flew over the edge of the clearing, the Others came out from behind the tree. It still stood in place and did not run away, but it seemed to be aware of the huge sense of oppression coming from above its head, and had to slowly raise its head.
