"Is this the Red Mountain?" said Elia, aettling on a mountain bag, to Evan and Doyd, who were looking up at her.

"This is Red Mountain!" Evan nodded. "It's getting late, you go and find out if there is a suitable place to camp, let's quickly set up camp and rest." ”

Illya nodded and flew away. After a while, she shouted, "Brother, come here!"

Evan and Doyd hurriedly urged their mounts to run quickly in Elia's direction. It was still at the foot of the Red Mountain, so the road was not steep, and the two of them soon reached Elija's side.

The place Illya was looking for was a rare flat area in the mountains, with some trees around it. That's a good campsite, but Evan always feels a little lacking.

"Illya, is there a water source nearby?" Evan licked his somewhat dry lips, and then remembered that the three of them hadn't drunk water in a while.

"I remember there was a mountain spring up there. Illya thought for a moment and said.

"Okay, Doyd stays here and camps, I'll go fetch water and collect firewood. Evan assigned his work. "Illya spit it out and put it here, and go find food!"

"Okay!" and "Yes!" both replied at the same time.

As he walked up the mountain, he heard the murmuring of a mountain spring in the distance. After following the sound for a while, I finally found the location of the mountain spring. The water from the mountain spring was very clear, and Evan took a few sips before taking out a water bag to fill it.

Red Hill is a very peculiar mountain, the east side of the mountain is covered with lush trees, while the west side is bare and lifeless. There are springs all over the mountain, and these springs converge into small streams, which in turn become rivers, and eventually form the Red Lake. The reason why the western part of Red Hill has become like this is because of frequent flash floods, which lead to soil erosion in the west. The east, on the other hand, was able to remain untouched by a few gentle slopes and a much denser woods than the west.

Evan put away his water bag and began to walk back, picking up some firewood along the way. It's been almost a week since the last rain, and the hot weather has dried up the branches that fell on them, and these dry firewood is excellent fuel.

Back at the camp, Doyd had already set up the tent. Evan looked at it for a while, and saw that there was nothing he could do to help, so he found a few rocks and started to set up a campfire.

After a while, Elija returned with a long twig carrying more than a dozen small animals. Aven took a look and saw that there was everything inside, pheasants, pheasants, hares, and small wild boars. Evan even saw two rabbit-eared beasts, which had rabbit ears and fox bodies, and liked to use their ears to lure rabbits.

"Elia, take this dagger, and go to the spring to dispose of these prey. Evan said, holding the dagger to Illya.

"Okay!" Illya nodded, carrying the branch and walking upward. Evan set up a campfire, found a small iron pot, set it on top of the campfire, and poured water to boil.

"Is your tent set up?" asked Aven.

"Right away!" replied Doid. "Is there anything wrong with you?"

"I'd like to collect some mushrooms and wild fruits, and you can sense where there are fruit trees!" said Aven. Druids are vegetarians, and their main food is tree fruits and mushrooms, which are common in the woods. The druids have a magic called nature sensing, which is the effect of sensing the difference and type of surrounding trees.

Doyd closed his eyes and whispered a mantra. A burst of green light flickered on him, and gradually spread, spreading throughout the forest.

After a while, Doyd opened his eyes and said, "There is an apple grove to the southeast, and there are a few citrus trees to the east of the apple grove. That's all for the nearby fruit trees. ”

"Okay!" Evan nodded. "I'm going to gather food, you pitch your tent and watch the campfire. Illya should come over soon, and when the time comes, let her put her prey in boiling water and boil it. ”

With that, Aven saw Doyd nodding and walked southeast.

"Huh!" Aven picked some black and gray mushrooms, and was about to go to the apple grove when he suddenly noticed human footprints on the ground. The footprints were clearly men's, but Doeid had been pitching his tent and couldn't have been here.

"Doesn't look good!" Ai Wen was worried in his heart, if there were really people living here, then I was afraid that the traces of his party had been exposed. Ai Wen plans to gather troops and raid Chihu City at the foot of the Red Mountain, if he is really discovered, not only will the plan fail, but he and the others will also be in danger.

Thinking of this, Evan immediately put down the mushroom and prepared to track down this person. If there was only one person, things might have been worked out. But if there are more people on the other side, Evan will have to consider changing the plan.

This person obviously did not hide his whereabouts, which made Evan a little suspicious of the other party's identity. Red Hill is not barren, but the land here is full of roots and mustaches, making it unsuitable for farmers. Although there are many wild animals living here, most of them are small animals. Unless it is a highly skilled hunter, it is difficult to catch enough prey. Such hunters can hunt in the Red Wastelands, where the furs of the big beasts are worth a lot.

It is clear that the ecology of Red Mountain is not suitable for human survival. Otherwise, in such a chaotic era, a large number of refugees will inevitably flee to settle in the mountains. However, no refugees have ever fled here, because there is a shortage of materials on the Red Mountain, and one or two people live well, but when there are too many people, there will inevitably be a shortage of food.

Because of this, Evan guessed that the other party should live alone. It is rare for a person to live alone, after all, people are social creatures, and if they are away from their own kind for too long, they will be depressed.

It's not that there are no such people in the world of Gaia, but they are basically strong. For example, the famous philosopher Suez, and the hermit Roy.

Evan only hopes that this person is not of that level, those guys are all existences with strength comparable to demigods.

Over the centuries, the Goblin Empire was left in a state of poverty under the tyrannical rule of the Norsans. The Konubians, who had always been determined to reclaim their homeland, finally saw the light of day, and they rallied and delivered a fatal blow to the Norsans.

The decaying Northumbrian dynasty was destroyed, and on top of the ruins, the Cnubians rebuilt their new dynasty. The Goblin Empire, led by the Cnutbians, has returned to its peak. But in the Eastern Islands, after hundreds of years of hard work, the elves have already established a civilization that is not inferior to the Goblin Empire.

The Third Dynasty eventually became the last dynasty of the Goblin Empire.

"It's hot! What's going on here? It's so hot!" Evan muttered to himself. He was in a cave, but the surrounding stone walls were faintly glowing with a dark red glow.

The cave was dimly lit, and Evan was lit by improvised torches. It is said that it is a torch, but in fact it is just a wooden stick wrapped in a cloth dipped in oil, and the fire is not very bright. If it was in the sun's rays, Evan could see waves of heat rising on the ground.

Evan felt as if he was in a large furnace, not directly scorched by the heat, but surrounded by a suffocating heat. And the further you go inside, the hotter it gets. Fortunately, Evan has dragon blood and is very resistant to heat, otherwise he would have been steamed a long time ago.

Even so, Evan felt that he couldn't stay long. So he no longer suppressed his steps and walked quickly towards the depths of the cave. Fortunately, after walking for a while, I heard the sound of even breathing. It looked like the owner was sleeping, but the breath was long and loud, and for a moment Evan felt a little frightened.

Ai Wen felt nervous in his heart, afraid of waking up the people inside, so he couldn't help but slow down. By the time he walked up to him, Evan had already deeply regretted it. The behemoth in front of him was not inferior in size to the dragon god, plus the red scale armor had sharp spikes, and the demon-like horns on the top of his head all showed that this red dragon was powerful - this was the sign of the abyss red dragon!

The Abyss Red Dragon, that is an ancient dragon species that is almost as old as the Dragon God. Corresponding to their sheer size and great strength, these "old guys" are dragons who are not bound by the gods and can freely use magic. Dragon's magic is two to three times more powerful than normal magic, such as Dragon's Breath.

One of the fourth-level spells is a spell called the Ring of Flames, which has a similar coverage to the Dragon's Breath technique, but is more than a fraction of the effect. Therefore, although these dragons are only comparable to demigods, their actual combat power is much stronger than that of ordinary demigods.

Not only that, but Evan finally knew why it was so hot here. Every time the red dragon breathed, a flame burst out of the gap between its mouth and nose, scorching the stone wall. The dragon's breath technique is hugely powerful, but it simulates a breath of a red dragon in the prime of life. And the breath power of the Abyss Red Dragon is at least three times more than that of the prime-age Red Dragon.

Evan wanted to quit, the dragon would have to sleep for a long time, maybe he had just fallen asleep, and then he wouldn't wake up for at least a few hundred years. Thinking like this, Evan immediately turned around.

"Well, who's there!?" Just then, a voice squeezed out of the red dragon's mouth. The red dragon's eyes opened a slit, and the eyeballs exposed by this slit alone were larger than Aven's entire person.

"I'm sorry!" Evan immediately apologized. "I didn't mean to disturb your rest, I just came in out of curiosity. ”

Saying this, Evan couldn't help but sweat in his heart. This statement is not false, but ordinary people simply can't withstand the heat here, and they will retreat on the periphery. And the Abyss Dragons are all casual guys, if you don't like him, it's not strange to eat them in one bite.

"Huh, I said who it was, it's you!" said the red dragon, whose eyes were fully open, and after glancing at Aven, he laughed. "Did you come back from there so soon?"

"Hmm, you know me?" said Evan in a daze.

"Oh, I forgot. The red dragon said with a smile, and when he finished speaking, a burst of red light flashed, and the red dragon turned into a human form.

"It's you!" Evan shouted in shock, the human form that the red dragon had turned into was none other than Robert, the guide that Evan had hired during the Red Mountain rally!

"Hey, hey. Robert smiled exaggeratedly. "But at the time, I thought you had the breath of my clan in you, but I didn't expect it to be so strong now. ”

"Yes...... Really?" replied Aven, somewhat awkwardly. At that time, he could be said to have summoned Robert like a subordinate, and it would have been terrible if he had become dissatisfied with it.

"Don't worry!" Robert said with a nonchalant wave of his hand as he saw Evan's nervousness. "I love that job and I love being close to people. I want to be treated as equals and make friends on an equal footing. ”

"Really?" said Aven, relieved. He knew that many older people would have quirks, and he could see that Robert was the same. Humans tend to have strange tempers as they get older, and these old monsters who have lived for hundreds of thousands of years are even more so.

In fact, in order to pass the boring life, Robert began to approach humans. He attends every Red Hill rally and quietly observes the various interactions between merchants and guests. It was a lot of fun for him, so he really wanted to be able to fit in.

Unfortunately, the Red Hill rallies are held at irregular times, sometimes once or twice a year, sometimes a dozen times a year. Originally, Robert could also blend into the tribe, but the transformation technique of the dragon clan was fixed. In other words, he can only become a Terran.

Thinking of this, Evan suddenly had an idea, and immediately blurted out: "Robert, why don't you join my team!" If the Abyss Dragons joined, it would be easy to capture Red Lake City. However, there is also a certain danger, the lord is weak and the minister is strong, and it is easy to be defeated.

"Oh?" said Robert, looking at Evan playfully. "Aren't you afraid that I will usurp your position after I help you make a contribution?"

"Don't be afraid!" If Evan still had some concerns just now, he has completely let go now. "With your strength, if you want that status, you can do it yourself. ”
