Ice and Fire: Reign of the Dragon.

Chapter 285 What kind of monster is that?
Outside the "safe place" burned by the dragon, there is still the territory of jungle and humid air, as well as those unnamed vines, mushrooms and flowers with strange fragrance.

The striped guide wanted to go out first, but was stopped by Dan. A soldier beside him handed him a breastplate with strange patterns painted with red dye and stood beside the striped guide.

He stood there somewhat at a loss, his hands and feet seemed disobedient and he didn't know where to put them. It was the first time for him to put on metal armor with the help of others.

Sure enough, just as those fellow tribesmen who had fought against foreigners said, this kind of hard clothes was indeed very comfortable to wear. He tapped the painted breastplate gently. He couldn't help but think in his heart that if it was the stone weapons of the tribe, it would probably not be able to leave even a little scratch on this kind of clothes.

Without saying anything, the striped guide Gada Guga naturally felt that this was a reward for his death. As a local, Gada Guga knew better than anyone what it meant to suddenly disappear in the jungle. Many times, this kind of disappearance was even the disappearance of an entire tribe. Gada Guga still remembered that when he was a teenager, several "civilized" tribes in the north launched a surprise attack on the inland cannibal tribes at the instigation of those foreigners on the coast. When they waited until the gray fog in the early morning dissipated and suddenly appeared outside one of the cannibal tribes, the elders of the tribe suddenly led all the warriors in fear and fled from the relatively large tribe as if they were avoiding groups of shadow pterosaurs or upright lizards in the depths of the jungle that would suddenly attack human settlements.

At that time, Gada Guga was just a young warrior who had just worn the lizard tooth and had not experienced the blood sacrifice ceremony. When he left, he took a look at the tribe out of curiosity.

Then he would never forget the scene he saw.

The deserted tribe looked no different from when they invaded the tribe to rescue the captured warriors. The bonfire in the center of the tribe was still burning, not extinguished as usual during wartime. There was boiling broth and dried meat ready to be grilled next to the bonfire. The houses built of trees even had their doors open - this was a daily routine when there were no enemies. The simple conical platform next to the bonfire - the spotted people didn't know why there was basically such an altar in every tribe, but all blood sacrifices were carried out on the altar, and rotten internal organs were piled on the platform. The blood of the blood sacrifices that had accumulated for many years flowed on the altar, making the tower built of mud and oily black stone stained with blood.

But in Gada Guga's eyes, the blood color that seeped into the altar, which he should have been accustomed to, was so glaring at that moment.

The memories ended, and the striped guides knew very well what they were facing. In their legends, all the people who suddenly disappeared in the jungle were cursed, and they would never return to the temple of the ancient gods they believed in.

Therefore, since he accepted gifts from the Gentiles, he was responsible for the Gentiles.

As soon as he took a step forward, he was stopped by the old soldier, who shook his head, signaling him not to rush.

Then the striped guide almost dropped his jaw in shock. He saw Dan holding the necklace tightly on his chest and carefully leading Beile out. Centrolos followed closely behind them, stretching out his long neck to protect the uncle and nephew.

The sentry was not too far from the "safe place" built by the dragon. As soon as Dan saw it, he realized what had happened.

There was no way that the soldier had simply disappeared.

Instead, he was kidnapped by something. A very clear bloodstain, along with a long trail, plowed the soft ground.

"Have you checked where the traces went?"

Dan frowned.

The old soldier who caught up shook his head and said, "Without you, we wouldn't dare go deep into the jungle, but according to the traces, Andrew was suddenly attacked by a big guy that he couldn't resist, or a guy that could make him fall to the ground silently, and then the enemy dragged him for a while."

"No, a cannibal."

The striped guide suddenly said.

Looking at the guide's determined eyes, Beile couldn't help but ask, "How are you sure?" Then he realized that Gada Guga couldn't understand his language, so he could only turn his eyes to Dan.

"Not those cannibal tribes?"

"Last night, this guy put on hard clothes." The striped guide was very clear. There was a trace of fear in his eyes, but there was no awe that might have existed in the past: "Ogre devils, ghouls, there is no way, tearing hard clothes, the sound, can be heard."

Senderos suddenly let out a soft roar.

Dan received the dragon's voice.

Cendros seemed to smell something that made it very uncomfortable. "Uncle, what is this?"

Belle suddenly handed Dan something shiny.

It was a smooth scale, like a dragon scale or the scale of some reptile.

"Bachelor!"

Dan was about to call the scholar to come and take a look, when the ruby ​​dragon sculpture on his chest suddenly became hot. Dan pulled Beile back without hesitation. The veteran and a Silver Blood Army cavalryman cooperated tacitly and stabbed Dan's position with their spears.

Mud burst out.

A hunched figure suddenly jumped out from where Dan had just stood, the black stone spear in its hand trembled, and then fell to the ground dejectedly.

The veterans and Silver Blood Army cavalry suddenly pulled out the spears that were deeply embedded in the creature.

A trace of fear flashed across the face of the striped guide, and Cendros did not hesitate to spit out a stream of blazing dragon flame onto the ground.

The moist soil was compacted, and a hoarse sound seemed to come from beneath the ground.

After calming down a little, Beile looked at the thing killed by two soldiers with some fear.

"Seven levels of hell, what is this?"

The bachelor only poked his head out from behind at this time, and when he saw the humanoid creature with a huge head, no eyes, a mouth full of sharp teeth, long arms, very short legs, and smooth gray-black skin.

"Cavemen? How is that possible!"

Westeros.

King's Landing, Red Keep.

In King Daeron's chambers, scholars came and went, all with gloomy faces.

The king's sister, Princess Rhaena, the wife of Prince Aegon, was crying and leaning on the arms of her sister, Princess Elona, ​​somewhat at a loss. Rhaegon Varese, as Princess Elona's husband, stood beside the princess with a serious expression.

"Your Highness, His Majesty has fallen into a coma. We..." The Grand Secretary sighed and walked out of the bedroom. "There is nothing we can do to save him."

Princess Renia's body swayed, but she was still stabilized by Princess Elena.

Regen looked sternly at the row of ministers in the royal meeting opposite him, but Captain Garin Dinwater of the Kingsguard stood beside him.

"My father and brother will be here later."

Regen said seriously.

"I hope you all will be prudent."
