Searching

Redd looked around. The land was so desperately barren that even the trees were coated in a thick layer of limestone. He would not even be able to gnaw on tree bark later.

His throat was dry, his mouth filled with a bitter taste, and he could not help feeling somewhat anxious.

He had come here to complete his mission and find energy to hatch King Ghidorah, but this desolate place put him under immense pressure.

Just as Redd was beginning to feel at a loss, a snake in a tree caught his attention.

He quickly found a dead branch and used it to lift the snake down from the tree.

The snake lay curled up, completely motionless. Something stirred in Redd's mind, and he remembered the Dragon King's oppressive aura.

With a thought, he released the pressure. The snake instantly began moving and tried to flee.

Redd reacted swiftly, turning the pressure back on in an instant. The snake immediately stopped moving again.

Redd was secretly delighted. With this effect, he would never have to worry about finding meat in the wilderness.

He promptly killed the snake, but then discovered that he had no way to start a fire.

Do I have to eat it raw? Redd thought for a moment, then suddenly slapped his forehead. There are so many volcanoes here. Why would I worry about finding fire?

After searching for a long time, he finally found a spot relatively close to the lava and began roasting the snake meat on a dead branch.

Once it was cooked, Redd finally enjoyed another good meal. This time, he had eaten his fill at last. Feeling utterly satisfied, he lay down and did not want to move at all.

His body was exhausted, but his heart was full of hope.

He knew that as long as he found energy to hatch King Ghidorah, he would be able to complete his mission and leave this desolate place.

Redd checked the mission: find energy to hatch King Ghidorah. He took a deep breath and stood up.

He knew that the road ahead was still long, but he no longer felt afraid or anxious.

He knew that as long as he persevered, he would surely find energy to hatch King Ghidorah and complete his mission.

Redd stood on the desolate land, his mind full of questions.

His previous mission had told him to come here, and now his mission was telling him to find energy.

In the world of Game of Thrones, if anything could provide the energy to hatch King Ghidorah, the first thing that came to mind could only be the dragons' blood and fire magic energy.

Do I have to go find a dragon?

Redd hurriedly questioned the system in his mind, hoping for an answer.

He called out and questioned it for a long time, but there was still no response. Even calling it his godfather got no reply.

By now, Redd was all but certain that this was a crippled system without a single user-friendly feature.

If leaving a bad review were possible, I'd definitely give it one.

There was no use thinking about it any further. While he was full and had the strength, he might as well head deeper in and see whether he could trigger a response from the system.

Redd took a deep breath and continued onward.

With dragon might surrounding him, he encountered no moving creatures along the way. Even those he spotted were curled into balls, not daring to move at all.

He ventured deeper. There was nothing but ruins, and he did not see a single valuable object.

Redd felt utterly helpless, but he did not give up.

He knew that as long as he persevered, he would surely find energy to hatch King Ghidorah and complete his mission.

He continued onward, his gaze resolute and an air of determination radiating from him.

Redd wandered leisurely along, treating it as a visit to a haunted house for thrills.

Fortunately, with an ability like dragon might, the terrifying creatures here generally did not dare come within ten meters of Redd.

Those that could not escape in time were too frightened to move. Even when Redd stepped on them and killed them, they did not dare resist.

Redd felt that this place could easily become his own backyard.

But once the last glow of sunset vanished from the horizon, night fell completely.

Redd knew he had to hurry and find shelter while there was still enough light to see, somewhere to spend the long night.

After all, it was already this terrifying during the day. Who knew what would happen at night?

He looked at the ruined buildings ahead, most of which had collapsed, intending to find somewhere to sleep.

The stone blocks in the ruins were far too large. With his tiny body, Redd had to use every ounce of his strength to climb up.

He found a triangular space with a slanted opening, propped up by fallen massive stone blocks, and made it his shelter for the night.

It grew completely dark.

Redd lay beneath the stone blocks, feeling the darkness around him.

His heart was full of unease, but he did not give up. He knew that as long as he persevered, he would surely find energy to hatch King Ghidorah and complete his mission.

He closed his eyes and tried to fall asleep. But his body would not relax, and his heart was filled with fear.

Redd thought of his home and his friends.

He did not know how they were doing now, nor did he know whether he would ever see them again.

His heart was filled with sorrow, but he did not give up.

He knew that as long as he persevered, he would surely find energy to hatch King Ghidorah and complete his mission. Perhaps he could even return to his original world.

Redd closed his eyes and tried to fall asleep. He knew he needed rest, and he knew he needed to conserve his strength.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. He knew he could not give up, and he knew he had to persevere.

Redd looked out into the pitch darkness, not knowing what the ruins of Valyria would look like at night.

Not long after dark, many fire earthworms emerged halfway from the distant ground. They gave off a faint red glow, conspicuous in the darkness as they swayed and writhed.

Redd thought they looked rather pretty.

But when a fierce vulture was drawn over, a fire earthworm instantly bit into it and dragged it to the ground.

The fire earthworms swarmed it, tearing it into countless pieces and pulling them underground.

Within a few breaths, not even the vulture's bones remained. Redd sucked in a cold breath as he watched the whole process.

But it was not over yet.

A red snake as thick as an adult's arm appeared and began preying on the thumb-sized fire earthworms.

The fire earthworms, which had been so savage just moments earlier, instantly became prey.

At the sight of the red snake, they were like mice encountering a cat, scrambling underground.

Those that could not hide in time all ended up in the red snake's mouth.

Before it could swagger for even two seconds, the red snake was snatched up in the jaws of a dark shape that flashed past and vanished.

Redd was startled. He did not know what that dark shape was, but he knew it was definitely more powerful than the red snake.

He watched the scene before him, his heart filled with fear.

Redd knew that he had to be cautious if he wanted to survive in this world.

He watched the scene before him, his heart filled with determination.

He knew that as long as he persevered, he would surely find energy to hatch King Ghidorah and complete his system mission.

Redd lay beneath the stone blocks, feeling the darkness around him.

In less than two hours, Redd had come to understand that the ruins of Valyria at night were absolutely no place for ordinary people. Calling them a forbidden zone for humans would be no exaggeration.
