"That's right!" Kalya said confidently, "I'm very familiar with dragons - I've seen all kinds of elemental dragons and even rare ancient dragons."
"The ancient dragon sounds very ancient." Yin Nuo blinked, "Is it a dragon that has lived for a long, long time?"
"Actually, they are giant dragons that have absorbed enough elemental power." Kalya chuckled, "The lifespan of an elemental dragon is actually not very long. Only a few dragons that have absorbed a huge amount of elemental power can break through the limit and transform themselves. Tempered into a more powerful existence, it is an ancient dragon. The ancient dragons that naturally break through are all long-lived ones, but if human intervention occurs, ordinary elemental dragons can also break through into ancient dragons."
"A way to artificially infuse a large amount of elemental power?" Yin Nuo asked thoughtfully, "Can you even use this condition to bargain with the elemental dragon?"
"That's right." Kalya confirmed Yin Nuo's guess, "So, Fosbairo has the basic conditions for raising elemental dragons. There are a large number of mages gathered there, and the elemental dragons will be happy to live nearby. The escaping elemental tide nourishes - and as landlords, we can naturally recruit elemental dragons as our soldiers, it’s a win-win situation for everyone.”
Although Yin Nuo wanted to complain about Karya's win-win theory, according to him, it seemed that it was indeed beneficial to both parties, and in the end Yin Nuo could only nod.
……………………
Even if the elemental trails left by the dragon's flight can be discovered, it is not an easy task to truly keep up with the speed of the elemental dragon.
For people walking on the ground, the complex ground conditions around Green Teeth Peak will greatly hinder the speed of movement. Even if the flying speed of this elemental dragon is not fast, it may be difficult to keep up.
Fortunately, Yin Nuo's ice floe can be regarded as an "all-terrain automatic mount" in a sense. Regardless of the consumption of magic power, it can move forward quickly in a way that is close to "flying close to the ground", so it can barely keep up. The flight path of the elemental dragon.
Finally, at the western foothills of Green Teeth Peak, Yin Nuo finally saw with his own eyes the elemental trajectory of the flying elemental dragon disappearing into the dense forest at the foot of the mountain in front.
Without any hesitation, Yin Nuo drove the ice floe and ran towards the dense forest.
The trees here are very lush, but because it is located on the bank of a large river, the trees in the dense forest are mostly medium and low trees such as bridge willow, Demacian water cattail, and green-toothed elm.
Considering the height of the elemental dragon, although the forest is dense, it should not be able to obscure the dragon's figure.
However, after walking around the woods twice, Yin Nuo did not find the existence of a giant dragon - and not only was there no elemental dragon, there was also no elemental trajectory caused by the action of the elemental dragon.
"It's really strange." Kalya, who failed to find the elemental dragon, was also a little surprised. "Judging from the elemental trajectory just now, this is at least a sub-adult individual, and it is almost impossible to be other creatures... How did it disappear in the elemental trajectory? In this place, you don’t even see the shadow of a giant dragon?”
Of course, Yin Nuo couldn't answer this question. She could only grin, and then drove the ice floe into the woods again, hoping to find the missing dragon.
This time, the elemental dragon was still not seen, but in the woods in the wilderness, Yin Nuo discovered a young girl.
Um, wait, girl?
There is no village or shop here, so why is there a lonely young girl with a face that cannot be seen clearly?
You know, Demacia's ecological environment is very good, especially in the border mountains and hilly areas such as Green Teeth Peak, Renwall, and Owendale. The land in these places is not flat and difficult to cultivate into farmland, so the wild animals Not a lot at all.
When an ordinary person comes alone to a dense forest in the wilderness, he is almost serving a buffet to the wild beasts!
Now this girl appeared alone in a place that was probably hundreds of miles away from the nearest village. Yin Nuo immediately realized that something was wrong.
With a wary heart, Yin Nuo held up an ice shield and steered the ice floe toward it carefully.
"This girl." After dozens of steps, Yin Nuo finally said, "Are you lost?"
There was no answer.
"If you get lost, I can take you away." Yin Nuo continued to approach as he continued, "It's getting late, and there is a high chance that wild beasts will be out here!"
"You are the one who should leave here." The two sides got closer and closer, and the other party finally stopped being silent. "Stay away from here, mage, I feel the magic in you..."
Um?
Is this also a devil-infected person?
In Demacia, there are cases where those who are possessed by demons are in serious condition. In order to avoid being exiled or imprisoned in a demon-forbidden prison, they go to live in the deserted wilderness. This is also the case.
Then, just when Yin Nuo wanted to say a word or two of comfort, she finally saw the face under the other person's hood.
This is a very wild face, and there are even red and black lines on the cheeks that are like scales and like jade - when Yin Nuo saw this face, his first feeling was that of ferocity and wildness.
Yin Nuo's eyes narrowed slightly and fell on the other person's eyes for the first time. Then, she saw a pair of eyes that looked like a snake boy, with raised holes.
Looking at this face, Yin Nuo immediately remembered what Kalya had said to him when he told him about the Yaron Dog.
The snake boy and the scales are completely in line with what Kalya told himself about the characteristics of the dragonborn!
A dragonborn in human form, could it be...
Trying to control her expression, Yin Nuo kept reminding herself in her mind, "Be polite and don't have too much prejudice against dragons and people's emotional problems."
"Get out of here." The other party obviously didn't know what Yin Nuo was thinking, so he urged directly, "You're right, it's very dangerous here - so, leave quickly."
"Did you see a dragon?" Yin Nuo calmed down and fixed his eyes firmly on the other person's face. "I saw a dragon falling in this forest."
The other party obviously didn't expect that Yin Nuo would ask this question so directly, and panic flashed across his face.
Although she shook her head quickly, Yinnuo didn't even need Kalya's reminder to read the "correct answer" from her face: she saw the dragon.
"Don't be nervous, young lady." Yin Nuo spread her hands and showed no hostility. "As you can see, I am a spell caster myself, so I have no hostility towards magical animals..."
"Get out of here, quickly!" The other party obviously didn't want to listen to Yin Nuo's explanation, "She's coming!"
Yin Nuo was a little confused after being interrupted.
What's coming?
That dragon?
Just in time to come!
……………………
Shyvana was anxious.
This dense forest by the river was the place she carefully selected for the decisive battle with her mother.
There are lush trees here, making it easier for you to hide and launch raids; and it is located near the water, and the rich water element resources can greatly suppress your mother's affinity for the fire element.
Although every previous battle between Shyvana and Yin Wa almost ended with being beaten one-sidedly and having to flee in embarrassment, but in the process of chasing and escaping, Shyvana has also discovered many seemingly insignificant things about herself. small advantage.
Compared with Yin Wa who loves the fire element, Shyvana can also use the power of some other elements to fight in addition to the fire element - although the breath is also dragon fire, and other elements are not as easy to control as the fire element, but at least not It's a side effect.
In addition, the transformation between human form and dragon form is also a very important advantage of Shyvana. Although the human form is fragile and easily injured, the body is smaller, more flexible, and harder to be discovered. She can escape from Yin Wa's hands. Changing forms at any time is the most important thing. Every time when she is almost killed by her mother, Shyvana will recover her body and hide in the battlefield of chaotic elements, so that the furious Yin Wa can't find her for a while. Then wait for an opportunity to escape.
It is precisely based on these advantages that Shyvana chose this dense forest at the foot of the mountain next to the river as the venue for the next battle with Yin Wa. Here she has the elemental advantage bonus, and she can advance, attack, retreat, and defend. Waiting for work with ease.
What she never expected was that while she was resting in human form, waiting for Yin Wa to arrive and launch a sneak attack, a mortal would actually come over!
If a mortal comes here, isn't that causing trouble?
Therefore, Sivana didn't care what Yin Nuo said and kept urging him to leave - she had just revealed her dragon form, and if nothing else, Yin Wa was already on the way!
It's a pity that Yin Nuo doesn't understand the grudges between Sivana and Yin Wa at all, and is still following her own ideas to make the other party believe that she has no hostility, so that she can "talk about win-win issues."
Fortunately, Kalya realized something was wrong.
"This dragon is very unusual." Kalya stopped Yin Nuo from continuing to talk, "She is not an elemental dragon in the normal sense, but an individual with special mutations."
"Wait, you mean, she is an elemental dragon?!" Yin Nuo's eyes widened in shock, "She is not the descendant of human and dragon? But that dragon?"
"How can humans and dragons easily give birth to offspring!" Yin Nuo's words almost made Kalya unable to breathe. "In Nerimaji, I clearly told you about the requirements for the hybridization of magical creatures - how can there be such a thing between humans and dragons? possible?!"
"But she does seem to fit the characteristics of a dragon." Although Yin Nuo realized that her thoughts were going astray, she couldn't help but explain, "Besides, you never said that dragons can become humans. Looks like this!”
"So she should be a very special existence." Kalya couldn't say anything at the moment, so she could only explain, "However, generally speaking, special mutated individuals will be rejected by the elemental dragon - maybe This is the reason why the Double Dragon Club was always the gatekeeper."
"So when she said 'it's coming', she actually meant another elemental dragon?" Yin Nuo said suddenly, "Then what should we do?"
"Let's take a look at the attitudes of both parties first." Kalya already knew it in his mind, "Besides, we haven't seen the other dragon yet. If it is the descendant of one of my old friends, then things will be different."
……………………
Just as Yin Nuo and Kalya were communicating quickly and silently, another elemental dragon left a long trail of fire elements in the sky, roaring towards the riverside.
Compared to Shyvana, the elemental tracks left by Yin Wa were undoubtedly more scorching, and unlike Shyvana's cautiousness, Yin Wa did not move under the cover of the mountain clouds, but just unscrupulously and carelessly walked through the greenery. The Demacia garrison on the Teeth Peak flew overhead, heading straight for Shyvana.
She has fully recovered from her injuries from the battle with Shyvana. This time, she will not give Shyvana any chance to escape!
Absolutely not!
Feeling the positioning brought by his bloodline, Yin Wa went straight to the river. After circling twice in the sky, he took a deep breath.
Sivana grew up rapidly during the battle with Yin Wa, but didn't Yin Wa get to know her more and more as a "rebellious girl"?
Shyvana has used the despicable act of sneak attack in disgusting human form more than once before. When she was sure that Shyvana was nearby through the perception of blood connection, Yin Wa simply spit out the dragon flame and ignited it. This forest by the river!
Instead of waiting for you to make a sneak attack, why don't I just alert the enemy!
Raging dragon flames fell from the sky, and the scorching dragon fire quickly caused the green leaves in early autumn to wither and turn yellow before being completely ignited.
Even though this place is located next to a river and the trees have extremely high water content, they still burned quickly after Yin Wa took a deep breath!
Under the high temperature, the fire began to spread rapidly. After Yin Wa finished breathing, he quickly increased his flying altitude and began to circle around the woods again, waiting for Sivana to appear.
The weak human form cannot withstand the high temperature of dragon flames. If she does not want to be roasted, Shyvana, a rebellious woman, must show her dragon form!
And in such a low forest, as long as you show the form of a dragon, you will definitely be discovered by me - want to rely on the favorable environment to ambush me? You are still too young!
Faced with Yin Wa's behavior of using "field magic" from the very beginning, Shvana really had no good solution.
The human form is too fragile. As the fire spreads, if you don't want to be burned to death, you can only transform into a dragon!
Now it seemed that delaying by taking advantage of the situation was useless. Realizing this, Sivana looked at the "stunned" Yin Nuo again and reminded her in a low voice: "Avoid the fire and run to the east."
After she finished speaking, she let out a roar, and her body quickly underwent an astonishing change.
The scales spread quickly from her cheeks and arms, and soon covered her whole body. As the scales spread, her limbs and body were quickly elongated. Under the hood, what originally looked like an ornament The normal head horns also stretched, connected, and fit into each other. In just a few breaths, Shyvana transformed from a wild girl into a slightly slender sub-adult dragon!
With her wings propped up on the ground, Shyvana flapped her wings straight into the sky in an almost "catapult-start" manner, and pounced on Yin Wa, who was hovering above the flames.
Seeing the appearance of the rebellious girl, Yin Wa let out a proud roar - the elemental dragons have high IQs. Although most of them had no language ability before becoming ancient dragons, their roars of Xiao can be very clear. express their emotions.
In Yin Wa's roar of filial piety, there was joy, excitement, excitement, and a bit of violent bloodthirst.
"Did you find anything?" Yin Nuo summoned the ice floes again, away from the increasingly strong fire, and asked Kalya, "Is this new dragon your familiar... familiar dragon? "
"No." Kalya answered quickly, "She is not a descendant of any ancient dragon I know."
"How can you tell the difference?" Yin Nuo asked curiously, "It's been so many generations!"
"After all, we are old comrades who have fought side by side. Several ancient dragons related to the Shurima Empire have excellent control of the power of the elements." Kalya explained as if casually telling the story of an old friend. , "And under the leadership of those ancient dragons, many elemental dragons at that time had certain spell-like abilities."
"In other words, the elemental dragons related to the Shurima Empire all use some magic?" Yin Nuo blinked, "Elemental magic?"
"It's not casting a spell, it's just the instinctive use of elements." Kalya denied the idea of elemental magic. "How to put it...the elemental dragons are thick-skinned and have amazing elemental resistance, so they can use the most primitive magic. The method is to directly manipulate the elements, which is different from constructing a spell model and infusing magic power to cast a spell. The elemental dragon directly gathers the power of the elements and then sprays it out. I don’t know what it will be like, but it will always have destructive power."
Yin Nuo was a little surprised when he heard this - the description of spell-like ability is really appropriate. If it is really what Kalya said, then this is indeed not considered spell casting.
"Both of these two dragons have no intention of using spell-like abilities. They started talking as soon as they came up. It must be because the wild dragon has not escaped." Kalya concluded, "The wild dragon may not be able to communicate very well and has to rely on his fists to speak. "
"But I see that one of those things that can turn into a human seems to be able to communicate?"
"So we have to treat these two dragons differently." Kalya concluded, "In this case, let's get things done first!"
……………………
Shyvana struggled to cope with Yinwa's offensive.
As a "prime" female dragon, Yin Wa is not only physically strong and powerful, but also has considerable experience in both hunting and fighting.
Except for the time when she met a scum dragon many years ago and was bullied once by the other party's weird trick that looked like dragon's breath but was not dragon's breath, and finally became a mother half-heartedly, she had never met a rival.
Facing Shyvana, Yin Wa felt "there is pressure, but not much".
Shyvana's body was still too slender and her fighting skills were extremely immature. Under Yin Wa's fierce minions attack, she could only barely hold on in a hurry, with almost no chance to fight back.
Every time the four dragon wings of the two dragons flapped against each other, Shyvana couldn't bear it.
When the two dragons gnawed at each other, Shyvana was always more seriously injured.
Relying on his body's advantage, Yin Wa completely suppressed Sivana, and was even able to divert part of his attention to prevent Sivana from escaping from his hands as quickly as before.
This time, Yin Wa can be said to have made up his mind to eliminate this shameful rebellious girl on the spot!
Injury for injury, blood for blood!
In such a fierce battle, Shyvana would soon be unable to hold on.
Her scales, which have not yet been fully formed, are too fragile in front of Yin Wa. She doesn't even need to bite them with her mouth. Even the scratching of the dragon's claws can lift Shyvana's armor.
Although the injury is not fatal and Shyvana can bear the pain, as the battle progresses and the injuries gradually accumulate, the damage caused to Shyvana by Yin Wa's mouth and claws will only become more and more serious. serious!
If this continues, Shyvana will be unable to hold on any longer!
The planned raid was ruined by a fire. The helpless Shyvana could only activate the backup plan and began to actively approach the water, intending to use the abundant water elements to heal herself and weaken Yin Wa's combat effectiveness.
With an embarrassed posture, Shyvana plunged into the river next to the woods, and the bright red dragon's blood directly dyed a section of the river red.
Seeing this, Yin Wa let out an excited roar, followed him reluctantly, and plunged into the river, intending to drown the rebellious girl in his own blood.
However, a moment later, Shyvana came out of the water, and the whole dragon's condition seemed much better; behind her, when Yin Wa came out of the water, she was a little sick and obviously a little bit sick. Something's wrong...
Obviously, the two dragons have completely different adaptability to the water element. The water element can nourish Shyvana's body, but it will make Yin Wa weak and misfired.
After discovering this problem, Yin Wa could only temporarily slow down his offensive. While falling behind Shyvana, he shook his body until he completely got rid of the wet feeling. Then he spoke again and sprayed out a stream of water. A raging flame.
Bending his slender neck, Yin Wa let the not-so-hot dragon's breath sweep from between his scales, lifting the whole dragon's spirit.
After regaining his composure, Yin Wa pounced on Shyvana again, and once again began to tear at the opponent's scales.
After a fight, Shyvana, who was unfavorable in the battle, repeated her old tricks and fell into the water again.
But this time, Yin Wa, who had learned his lesson, no longer foolishly rushed into the water. Instead, he hovered at low altitude on the water, waiting for Shyvana to appear so that he could give the opponent a fatal blow!
Yin Wa could see clearly that although this rebellious girl could be nourished by the water element, it seemed that she could not swim for a long time or use water to escape.
The dragon's blood surging in the river marked Sivana's location, and Yin Wa waited at the place where Gudugudu was bleeding, waiting for Sivana to show up!
Then, just as Yin Wa was waiting, on the river bank, a piece of floating ice began to spread rapidly - on the floating ice, a mortal girl with long silver-white hair was galloping towards the battlefield.
Yin Wa, who was waiting for Shyvana to show her head, glanced at the mortal who appeared at this time, and impatiently sprayed a mouthful of dragon breath, intending to clean up this ignorant ant.
However, what she never expected was that just as the dragon breath was exhaled, a cold low temperature that even a giant dragon would feel began to spread on the river.
Under the extreme cold, the blazing dragon fire breath was exhausted in mid-air. Within three feet of Yin Wa, snowflakes began to float in the air, and fine frost flowers appeared on her scales, and then began to quickly Spreading, a thin layer of ice shell formed at a speed visible to the naked eye!
At this moment, Yin Wa finally realized that something was wrong. She flapped her strong and powerful wings with all her strength, sweeping away the ice floes on her body while trying to escape from the extreme cold.
But at this moment, Shyvana under the water ejected again.
Caught off guard, Yin Wa's neck was bitten directly, and the two dragons twisted together. Finally, they fell from a low altitude and hit the newly frozen ice at the same time.
Ice shards flying.
