Fred was not stupid either. He naturally knew why his stupid brother summoned the army and found Howard.
Isn't it just to capture the defected Calvez?
Now the northern part of Jiyin Forest must have been surrounded, and it is extremely difficult to sneak in.
However, Fred may have overlooked one thing. At this stage, there is a sixth-level powerhouse standing by Ye Qiong's side and willing to help him.
He turned to look at Apponias, who had been silent, and said:
"Can the previous breath blocking protection be used on us?"
"Yes, but it can only last about five minutes."
"enough."
This time was enough for them to bypass the siege of the Paladins of the Apocalypse Empire and enter the territory of the Mist Dragon.
In order to prevent long nights and long dreams, Ye Qiong took action immediately. When reinforcements from the Apocalypse Empire arrive tomorrow, the difficulty of getting in will be doubled.
Maxine had no intention of participating, but Arnold followed him with great interest.
"Sir Arnold, what are you doing?"
Because the witch risked her injuries to tell him the information, Ye Qiong was much more polite to her.
"Watch you slay the dragon."
What she said was extremely natural.
"I'm not here to trouble the Mist Dragon. I just want to get my shadow back."
"No, no, no, you can definitely slay a dragon."
Ye Qiong suddenly realized what he said and replied:
"Casmode is just a pseudonym, so the future you see may not be mine."
"No, you will definitely be able to slay the dragon, not now, but also in the near future. Don't doubt my ability."
At this time, she had been injured because she had defied "God's will" many times, so her face was much pale, but even so, her arrogance as an astrological witch had not diminished at all.
Seeing this, Ye Qiong did not refuse again and walked out of the church door.
The giant windbreaker bird was not taken back by Ye Qiong, and still stayed in front of the gate. He did not intend to place the gold and silver jewelry on the bird's back in the church. He planned to use it as a condition for negotiation, and use these treasures to transfer Calvis' Shadow changes back.
He kept the Holy Kai Stone, the Branch of Life, the Demon-Containing Fruit, and other materials that might be used in refining potions in the future, but he did not touch the rest.
Riding on the back of the bird, we headed towards the north of the Hidden Forest.
The church is not far from the territory of the Mist Dragon, and the wind-winged giant bird flies very fast. It takes about ten minutes to reach the destination not far away.
After taking a look at Apponias, she quickly understood and used her own abilities to add a blessing called breath blocking to everyone, including the wind-winged giant bird.
The familiar feeling came over again, and their existence seemed to be completely erased from this world.
Ye Qiong gave orders to the wind-winged giant bird and flew towards the territory of the Mist Dragon.
During this period, the paladins on the ground did not notice the arrival of this uninvited guest and were just patrolling near the forest.
The only thing that can be discovered is the Dragon of Mist, which has already reached the peak of the sixth level.
The northern part of the Hidden Forest is already filled with a thick layer of fog, which is emitted by the Mist Dragon with the help of its own bloodline talent.
Anyone who comes into contact with the mist will be noticed by this dragon.
In other words, the entire northern region is under his control. Even with the protection of breath blocking, it is difficult to hide it from this giant dragon.
A cold snort sounded in the cave.
"Is it finally here?"
The shadow beside him looked happy when he saw this, but the dragon sneered at this.
"Stop your poor acting skills. I think you want them to come later, so that you have enough time to break through the seal."
Hearing this, the shadow of Calvis also restrained his smile and said:
"As expected of a strong man who survived that catastrophe, he easily saw through my mind."
“Stop flattering me, I won’t help you no matter how nice you say it.
I called that guy here just to settle the score with him as to why he lured these ants into my territory.
If there is no good explanation, neither you nor your master will be let go. "
"Even if we are Dragonborn?"
"Did you make a mistake? Dragons always respect the strong, even when facing their own kind.
Fighting for territory and treasure is a common occurrence among the Dragon Clan.
Even if you are pure blood dragons, I will not protect you for free, let alone you are only dragonborn. "
What the Mist Dragon said was quite straightforward, either give me money or give me my life, it's that simple.
With the dragon's greedy character, a dozen boxes of treasure alone might not be able to satisfy his appetite.
Shadow felt relieved knowing that the Mist Dragon would not choose to forgive easily just because he was a dragonborn.
This is what he wants.
Who said that when the body dies, the shadow will also die?
Even a corpse would have a shadow, and this was what he hoped for.
Provoke the Mist Dragon and make him kill the impostor so that he can be free and take revenge on the empire that once betrayed him.
The Mist Dragon naturally understood Shadow's thoughts, so he asked him to restrain his poor acting skills.
This giant dragon actually has quite a bad taste, and the dispute between the shadow and the body is just for fun.
He can allow himself to be used, provided that Shadow and his body can afford the price.
Thinking of this, the Mist Dragon smiled and silently waited for the arrival of the rightful master.
He felt the aura of the sixth level among the group of people flying over, but so what?
As a giant dragon, he has always been extremely proud of his own strength. To put it simply, I am invincible below the seventh level.
He has experienced the existence of the Dark Holy War, how could he be weak in strength.
Although the fog obscured his vision, he could easily find the cave by relying on his spiritual connection with the shadow.
Feeling the powerful breath of life emanating from the cave, he couldn't help but feel a little lack of confidence.
The dragon at the peak of the sixth level is only one step away from becoming a god.
This kind of opponent is much more difficult to deal with than White Snake and Howard outside.
His original intention was just to let the shadow wander around for a while and then come back. Who would have thought that this guy would be so bold as to take the initiative to kill someone.
Because of Shadow's actions, he had completely lost trust in this guy.
After getting it back, even if he encounters a more dangerous situation in the future, he will not let this guy go.
Apponias seemed to see Ye Qiong's confusion, and said with relief:
"The one who won't let you die easily."
As soon as these words came out, Ye Qiong understood instantly. Yes, there was a knight of despair behind him.
With how much this person valued himself, would he just watch him be killed by the Mist Dragon?
It's obviously impossible.
Furthermore, there is a sixth-level goddess of destiny beside him, isn't it? If he can't defeat her, why can't she escape?
Thinking of this, he felt relieved a lot.
Taking steps, he walked into the Mist Dragon's cave.
The Mist Dragon inside heard the footsteps, sneered on his face, and said to himself:
"Are you finally here? Let me see how you can offend me."
"Oh, what a pure dragon aura. This dragonborn is almost as good as a pure-blood dragon."
"Huh? This breath feels a bit familiar."
The Dragon of Mist was also a little confused. He obviously didn't know this Dragonborn, but for some reason he felt that this Dragonborn was inexplicably familiar.
The hostility that originally wanted to kill him quickly dissipated a lot at this moment.
He had seen this breath in the memory inheritance belonging to the Dragon Clan. It was the breath that only belonged to the Mother of the Dragon Clan.
Thinking of this, the Mist Dragon was a little unable to hold back.
Is it true or not, is this Dragonborn related to the Dragon Mother? Then does he still dare to attack this guy?
At this moment, Ye Qiong was unaware of the change in the Mist Dragon's mentality, and walked towards the depths of the cave slowly and unhurriedly.
What surprised him was that the Dragon of Mist didn't show any power to him. This didn't fit in with his stereotype of dragons.
Being a Dragonborn is not easy in the eyes of a pure-blood dragon, and he knows this very well.
His move of sending shadows to lead the pursuers of the Apocalypse Empire to the territory of the Mist Dragon was undoubtedly a provocation to the majesty of the dragon.
In his guess, this Mist Dragon must be extremely unhappy. He wants to kill him and then hurry up. Why is he almost halfway through the journey and there is no action yet?
I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out.
He could only attribute the reason to: "The Mist Dragon has a good temper."
If this is really the case, then things will be much easier to handle. It would be best if you can use your property to avoid disaster. If fighting the Mist Dragon attracts the attention of White Snake and others, then it will be dangerous.
The shadow next to the Mist Dragon was also a little confused at this time.
"Great Mr. Dragon, why do you look more panicked than "me"?"
The dragon at the peak of the sixth level actually showed panic when facing a paladin of only the third level?
No, he must have seen it wrong.
How could such a thing happen?
He looked at the giant dragon next to him again, only to find a big drop of sweat on his forehead.
No, Lord Dragon.
How can you actually sweat when facing an opponent of this caliber?
As if to cover up the sweat on his forehead, it began to rain in the cave, and the giant dragon entrenched on the ground stood up, as if the light rain was an appearance ceremony he had prepared for himself.
"Isn't it really just to cover up the sweat on your body?"
Shadow only dared to secretly complain about this sentence in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it directly.
He noticed the gaze from the dragon.
The Mist Dragon snorted coldly and acted extremely indifferently. He was the overlord entrenched in the northern part of the Hidden Forest. How could he be flustered by something of this magnitude?
The footsteps got closer and closer, and at the entrance of Nuoda's cave, three people slowly walked in, and a sword followed them. The wind-winged giant bird followed behind holding a box full of gold coins.
"Are you here? The unknown dragonborn has made the great Malphagos wait for so long."
The pressure of the giant dragon came, and what was strange to Ye Qiong was that his body did not react in any way, as if the dragon's power did not exist at all.
It makes no sense. As a dragonborn, he can only be regarded as an inferior dragon. There is a big gap between him and pure-blooded dragons like the Mist Dragon.
When facing a person of high status, the body will tremble unconsciously to express submission to the person of high status.
Strangely, this did not happen.
Apponias, who possesses divinity, is also not affected by the power of the dragon. As a holy sword, the Sword of Hiera also has no effect.
As for Arnold, there are no less than a hundred blessings on her body, how could she be affected so easily.
Only the giant wind-winged bird trembled because of its relatively low strength.
Malphagos, who originally planned to show off his power, found that his dragon power had failed.
At the same time, as the distance got closer, Malphagos could feel that the aura coming from the Dragon Mother became more and more obvious.
As a pure-blood dragon, he understands better than anyone else what this aura represents.
In an instant, Malphagos's confidence was a little weak.
Ye Qiong raised his head and glanced at the giant dragon in the cave. It was a pure white dragon, surrounded by mist, hiding most of its body. Its scales were extremely smooth, as bright as gems, and it was constantly releasing mist.
The orange vertical pupils were looking at the humans below, and there was no expression on the huge dragon's face.
This kind of expression is not common among dragons. Normally, dragons are very good at expressing their emotions. Unlike humans, they hide all their ambitions in their hearts.
If they are eager for wealth, they will plunder without mercy, without caring about the opinions of the world. This kind of indifferent approach is how the dragon has always been recognized by the world.
The giant dragon in front of him was completely different. He hid his emotions so well that Ye Qiong had no idea whether he was angry or really as calm as he appeared.
Raindrops fell on his shoulders. Only then did Ye Qiong realize that it was raining lightly in the cave. The raindrops did not cause him any harm, it was just an ordinary rain.
Does the Mist Dragon simply like a humid living environment, or does it want to do something with the rain?
Ye Qiong guessed while answering the questions from the dragon.
"Calvis, this is the astrological witch Arnold Natasha, and these two are the fairy Aponias and Fred who lives in the Sword of Hyera."
"I'm not interested in knowing your names. I just want an explanation. Where did the humans outside come from?"
The words were quite straightforward. When Ye Qiong heard this, he did not intend to change the subject.
"Indeed, those humans were led to your territory because of me. For this reason, I specially prepared some greeting gifts."
With that said, he ordered the wind-winged giant bird to unload the box placed on the bird's back.
A large number of gold coins fell down, making Malphagos's eyes wide open. The dragon's enthusiasm for gold coins was fully displayed at this moment.
"Are you looking down on me? Human!"
Ye Qiong wanted to complain. Before saying this, could you wipe the saliva from the corner of your mouth?
