Defeat the entire world with the power of one dragon!

Chapter 48 Coniferous Valley
"Why do we need to change our territory? Aren't we living well in Hemlock Hills?"

Samantha asked confusedly, not understanding what was going on.

It completely ignored the fact that the appearance of the Earth-Splitting Centipede was just the beginning, which meant that it was very likely that a larger Black Rock force would be attracted later.

And because of dragons' inertia, it had adapted to life in Hemlock Hills and wasn't ready to move territory.

"Think carefully. Are the appearance of these alchemical golems just a coincidence? Others will be here soon."

Garros said.

Samantha tilted her head, thought carefully, and gradually understood the reason.

Red dragons are actually not stupid. On the contrary, their IQ is relatively high among dragons, but their thinking logic is often "My wisdom allows me to use strength to solve problems."

Only when violence cannot solve the problem will the Red Dragon change its way of thinking.

"Oh, you're afraid that an army will come and kill us, so you're planning to run away."

After a few seconds of thinking, Samantha suddenly realized and said.

Snapped!
Garros whipped its tail on the head, and the dragon's face became serious.

"This is a strategic retreat. Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand."

After being hit by the tail, Samantha rubbed her head with her paws, bared her teeth, and subconsciously wanted to fight back out of her nature, but when she met Garros's eyes, she immediately became timid.

"Dragon Lord, where are we going next?"

The Earth Storm Bear Mobel asked cautiously.

Hearing this, Garros pondered for a moment.

There is a proverb in dragon culture.

——The dragon that sees the spring rose must also pay attention to the footprints of the winter giant.

In fact, it means to be prepared for danger in times of peace and to plan ahead.

And Gallos did this very well.

While staying in Hemlock Hills, knowing that this was only a transitional place with limited resources, he did not forget to check out other suitable habitats.

After some time of investigation and consideration.

He has three goals.

Graystone Ridge.

——The rock wall is covered with natural caves, which can be used to build a highly concealed dragon's nest. It is tall and steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack. There are lakes and forests around it, which are home to many creatures and are rich in biological and water resources.

Silvermoss Plains.

——There used to be a large mithril mine, and the soil still contains a certain amount of mithril particles. Many silver sprout mosses have mutated and grown. Eating soil and mosses can help the development of dragon scales and claws, and there are a large number of ferocious beasts.

Coniferous Valley.

——A bowl-shaped valley surrounded by mountains on three sides, with hot springs steaming in the valley. The smell of sulfur can cover up the breath of dragons, and a large river tributary winds through it.

These three locations are all places with far richer resources than Hemlock Hills.

Territories like this are owned in the Cyre wilderness.

After a brief thought, Garros finally chose the Needle Leaf Valley.

The dominant species in Graystone Ridge is a group of giant-tailed steel scorpions.

This is a kind of ferocious beast that is huge in size and has terrible poisonous properties. Its poison is enough to pose a life-threatening threat to young dragons.

Garros's poison resistance has not been specially strengthened, and he is not sure whether he can withstand the venom of the giant-tailed steel scorpion.

There are no dominant tribes or individuals on the Silver Moss Plain. There are many ferocious beasts in this place, where the strong prey on the weak and fight each other. Garros originally liked this place the most, but he later discovered that from time to time there would be troops coming here to collect samples of silver moss and other mutant plants, and the potential risk was the highest.

As for the Coniferous Valley.

Besides being the lowest risk, it's also conveniently located near a branch of the Thousand Serpents' Scar, which winds through the Cyre wilderness like a meridian. This allows for easy access to caravans plying the Scar, as well as teams transporting resources like minerals and black oil. However, the area is also home to numerous tribes of intelligent creatures like goblins and gnolls.

"Needle Valley? Hoohoo, that's great!"

After hearing Garros's decision, Violent Bear Mobel opened his eyes wide and shouted excitedly.

The reason for its excitement is simple.

This place, the Needle Leaf Valley, has a more formal name determined by some of the surrounding intelligent tribes and clans.

——Baoxiong Ridge.

It is the habitat of the Earth Bear Pack to which Mobel originally belonged. It is also the place that Mobel recommended to Garros in accordance with the idea of ​​father saying goodbye to son and laughing.

It was when he went to investigate the pack of violent bears that Garros accidentally discovered the branch road of the Thousand Snakes Scar.

"My honorable Dragon Lord, I am willing to be your sharpest blade and help you conquer the Needle Leaf Valley!"

Mobel knelt down in front of Garros and spoke in a rough voice.

The night wind blew its hair, revealing the densely packed runes engraved on its skin. These were the masterpieces of the Red Dragon Alchemist Samantha over the past six months.

After being strengthened by these alchemical runes, Mobel became much stronger.

However, it knew that it still could not compare with the old bear, but its greatest reliance was not itself, but the dragon in front of it.

"Hey, damn old thing."

"I will take back everything I lost, seize your territory, and take over your mother bear!"

Mobel thought happily in his heart.

Garros did not forget his promise and patted Baoxiong on the shoulder.

"Once the bears are tamed, you will be in charge of their leadership. But don't forget, if anything goes wrong with the bears, I will break your legs."

Immediately.

The Earth Bear carried the Earth-Splitting Centipede, which was still relatively intact, and some other necessary items, and ran across the surface, heading towards the Coniferous Valley.

Garros flapped his wings and soared in the sky.

The outline of the hemlock hills gradually blurred in the twilight.

He looked back at the territory where he had lived for nearly a year.

The hemlocks that were broken by the exploding scales, the crooked ruins of the alchemy workshop, the winding tunnels dug by the earth spiders, and the collapsed cracks caused by his impact.

Everything will return to the wilderness with his departure.

It seemed like he remembered something.

Garros suddenly stopped moving, then turned back and flew back to the Hemlock Hills, and asked Samantha to follow the Earth Bear and continue to rush to the Conifer Valley.

Samantha didn't know what Garros wanted to do, but she didn't ask.

After a while, it looked back in the direction of the hemlock hills while flying in the sky.

A cluster of flames suddenly lit up, and then like a wildfire, it intensified and gradually ignited the entire Hemlock Hills, turning the huge hills into a blazing torch in the dark night. The light illuminated the night, and the heat wave caused the surrounding air to twist and rise.

The dazzling flames were reflected on the scales.

The Red Iron Dragon soared into the sky from the 'volcano' like a shooting star, quickly chasing after him.

In this world, alchemical tools and magic with strange effects emerge in endlessly.

Although he had some nostalgia, but for the sake of safety and to prevent being tracked, Garros decided to burn down the Hemlock Hills, purify everything with fire, and try to eliminate all traces that could prove his existence here.

He wasn't sure if it would work.

But it can at least make me feel a little more at ease.
