Chapter 282: Female Dragon
As soon as the fire stopped, Unas immediately sent a few scouts to the front to check, and the results were surprising and confusing, the spider swarm really withdrew from the Qingyan Pass, and did not assemble outside the mountain pass, which was equivalent to completely abandoning this easy to defend and difficult to attack pass.

The topography of the canyon is like an irregular gourd, and if the mouth of the green rock is the waist of the gourd, outside the mouth is the next wide gourd belly.
Unas led the group through the narrow valley to the opposite exit, where the spiders retreated, as the scout had said.
Judging from the chaotic traces on the ground, the direction of their retreat was scattered and disorderly, and it was obvious that they were scattered into the increasingly vast mountains and forests outside the Qingyan Pass.
This method of breaking up the whole piece caused a headache for Unas, who had probably gathered thousands of giant spiders here, and he had planned to defeat them in one fell swoop, and then quickly pursue and annihilate them in order to achieve a quick victory.
Now that the spider swarms are scattered to fight guerrillas, it is not easy to deal with, and Unas promised the druids that they would no longer use fire attacks, and that it would be time-consuming and labor-intensive to sweep the past with manpower.
The scout reported that there was another discovery ahead, "Report to my lord, the corpses of some giant spiders in front of you, and a female elf." ā
"Female elves? What female elves? ā
"I don't know, she said she wanted to see the adults."
The scout came back to report the news without asking, Unas was deeply puzzled, but he didn't ask more, just go and see, "Lead the way." ā
After following the scout for a quarter of an hour, the corpses of a dozen giant spiders appeared in front of them, either charred or frozen by a layer of white frost, completely devoid of their breath of life.
A tall blue-haired high elf stood between the corpses, and I don't know if it was an illusion, she exuded an invisible coercion, making the several scouts surrounding her feel like they were facing a great enemy, clenching their weapons and not daring to act rashly.
The arrival of the garrison officer and the brigade made the scouts breathe a sigh of relief, and Unas was surprised to observe the giant spider corpses around him, several of them were very ferocious species, could it be that this female elf killed them?
Looking at the amber eyes of the female elf, Unas had a feeling that his prey was being targeted by the hunter, and his whole body couldn't help but tense, and he asked cautiously: "Hello ma'am, I heard that you want to see me?" ā
"I'm not a lady, call me Marty," the elf's voice was softer, not as aggressive as her imposing, "you're the commander of this army?" ā
"I'm Paladin Unas, the garrison of the Silver Knights of the Dawn, and Miss Marty is...?"
"You don't care what my identity is, if you want to solve the threat of spiders once and for all, I can help you."
The female elf's tone was very loud, as if she had taken on top of an army by herself.
"Miss Marty alone?"
"I have a companion," the elf didn't feel like she was bragging, "there's a small hill five kilometers away, and you can always go there before dusk to talk to us about cooperation, and we've got a gift for you." ā
Seeing that she meant to leave, Unas hurriedly pointed to the corpses around her and asked, "You killed all these spiders?" The spider swarm retreated because of you too? ā
"I wiped out these spiders with my companions, and as for the reason for the retreat of the spider colony, maybe it was because of us, who knows?"
Unas's doubts deepened and deepened, and he asked, "Why do you want to go to the hill ahead?" Now we can talk about cooperation, call your companions over, and since our goal is to destroy the spiders, I will treat you well. ā
"My companion doesn't like too many human places, and he doesn't want to be seen by too many people, so you'd better come alone." After the female elf said this, she smiled and nodded, and the light and shadow flashed and disappeared in place.
She was obviously using teleportation, and the female elf disappeared in an instant without any spell action or delay when casting spells, which at least showed one thing: she was a high-ranking spellcaster.
Unas asked the elven rangers who were following him, "Do you know this female elf named Marty?" ā
The elves looked at each other, not seeming to know each other, and one of the rangers replied, "My lord, we have never seen a High Elf with amber eyes. ā
Indeed, the High Elves' pupils are more blue and green, black and brown are rarer, and the amber Unas has never seen them.
At this time, Pereira and Huoye both rushed over from Qingyankou, and after listening to Unas's description, they both shrugged their shoulders, and neither knew this kindred.
Huoye inspected the spider corpses around him, and his face was incredulous, "These giant spiders don't have any extra wounds on their bodies, they are all killed by one blow." ā
Hearing this, Unas also jumped off his horse and looked carefully for a while, the charred corpse was not visible, and the spider that was frozen to death by the frost did not have a wound, and was lifelike and solidified at the last moment before death, like the masterpiece of a master carver.
"Marty and her companions are supposed to be two powerful mages, one ice and one fire," Fireleaf speculated, "They killed a dozen giant spiders, but it wasn't enough to make the colony retreat." ā
"yes, why the hell are the spiders retreating?" Pereira couldn't think of a reason either.
"Whatever his reason, it's in our favor, we must keep the Qingyankou Valley firmly under control," Unas waved his hand, "These corpses will be dragged back as trophies, and you will all go back to the valley to defend, and I will meet those two mysterious guys." ā
"No way!" The two elves shouted in unison.
Huoye persuaded: "It's not completely clear whether Marty is friend or foe, in case it's a trap, I'm afraid it's dangerous for the adult to be alone." ā
Unas had a gut feeling in his heart that the tall female elf had no ill intentions, but what Fire Leaf said also made sense, "Marty said that her companions don't like to see 'people', so let you elves escort me over, it should be easier for the same clan to talk to each other." ā
"My lord, the meeting time that Marty said is any time before dusk, there is no need to be in such a hurry, let's go again..."
"There's no need to negotiate anymore, she's not in a hurry to set the time, I'm in a hurry."
Ever since receiving the distress signal from Rosebine and Hex, Unas has been hanging a string in his heart, and he has never been relieved that none of the five druids who went to the rescue last night have come back to report the news.
Now that Qingyankou has been captured, he really wants to go directly to the beautiful spiders and trolls to find out their whereabouts in order to feel at ease.
Now that the sudden appearance of the female elf is a priority, Unas must first find out the details of Marty and her companions.
The other centaurs stayed behind to carry the corpses, and Unas headed for five kilometers ahead with Fireleaf, Pereira, and several Elven Rangers.
Along the way, the broken branches and leaves on the edge of the woods and the scratches on the ground were all traces of the giant spider's retreat in all directions, and there was no danger, and the team soon reached the small hill that Marty had mentioned.
The tall elf had already observed the arrival of Unas and was waiting at the foot of the hill.
Pereira glanced at the elf a few times, and was about to open her mouth to test the identity of the other party, but Mattie didn't give her a chance, and the tall elf looked at Unas, "You come with me, the others stay where they are." ā
Unas nodded, told his men to stop, and followed Marty's back to the top of the mountain.
The Blood Elves were on guard at the foot of the mountain, and they had already discussed that the garrison officers would immediately signal if they encountered any danger, and they could quickly provide support.
Unas followed Marty over the top of the hill to the back of the hill, where it turned out to be a large natural stone cave.
Marty walked in directly, Unas looked inside, it was so dark that he couldn't see anything clearly, he opened the holy shield as a light, of course, it also meant to guard against an ambush.
The stone cave was not deep, and the road under his feet was like a spiral staircase downward, and Unas walked quickly to the bottom of the cave, completely unaware of the two behemoths waiting for him.
In front of me is a red dragon!
The red beast lay on the ground, its golden eyes like two light bulbs in the darkness, its long tail full of scales and thorns hovering in front of it.
In the case of a dragon, its size... Unas thought about it and could only be described as "petite", but to humans, the little red dragon was still a behemoth.
Seeing the visitor, the red dragon slightly opened its wings behind its back and exhaled a burning breath from its nose.
This gesture was not a friendly gesture, and Unas sank his back slightly, ready to fight at any time.
"This is my companion, Allistasa," Marty said unhurriedly, "as you can see, she's a red dragon." ā
Unas looked at Matty's amber eyes and suddenly reacted, "You're a dragon too?!" ā
"Yes," in front of Unas alone, Marty did not mean to hide her identity, "I am a member of the Blue Dragon Clan, my full name is Matigosa, and the space here is limited, so it is inconvenient for me to change back to my original form. ā
Huo Ye had speculated that they were two archmages, one ice and one fire, but Unas believed it, but he didn't expect them to be two dragons.
Now think about the death of the dozen or so giant spiders that were scorched and frozen, everything is very reasonable, the breath of the red dragon is flames, and the breath of the blue dragon is freezing gas.
The spiders must have been attacked by two dragons that fell from the sky before they were killed instantly.
Unas, another behemoth beside the red dragon, is very familiar, it is a black giant spider with a frozen head, the Overlord Spider.
Seeing Unas's gaze turning to the Overlord Spider, Matigossa continued, "This beast is a gift we have prepared for you, and you seem to enjoy collecting this black spider?" ā
In the past two days, Unas has indeed captured two seriously injured overlord spiders, and intends to hand them over to Rosebyne to take them over, listen to what Matilgossa means, the two dragons have been watching humans fight against spiders?
"Is this overlord spider still alive? I just want to live. ā
The red dragon let out a low roar, and the temperature in the cave suddenly increased, "Human, don't get an inch, this gift is not to please you!" ā
"Oh? Why is that? Undeterred by the dragon's threat, Unas asked calmly.
The red dragon "stood up" from the ground with a thud, its huge wings fully extended, almost filling the entire cave, and its long neck covered with red scales rose high, as if it was about to swallow Unas on the spot.
"Alice," Mattigosa called out his companion's nickname to calm him down, before turning to Unas to answer the human's previous question, "I think it's fitting that you call this spider, it seems to be the leader of the colony, my breath can freeze other spiders to death, only it retains a trace of life." ā
The overlord spider wrapped in hoarfrost lay motionless beside the red dragon, and Unas couldn't tell whether it was dead or alive, the overlord spider had a very tenacious vitality, and Matigosa probably didn't lie.
"Thank you two dragons for the gift," Unas bowed slightly in thanks, "If there's anything I can do for you, please ask." ā
Nothing to offer is either a traitor or a thief, not to mention that two dragons come to give gifts, they must have something to help themselves, Unas knows it.
"You don't have to, but we do need your help."
It turned out that Allistasa was a little red dragon that had just grown up, and after conception in estrus, she found a hidden place to nest and give birth to her child, but she didn't expect that one day when she returned from hunting, she found that all her dragon eggs were missing.
She searched frantically, and with the special feeling between mother and child, she made her way north, actually across half the continent, from the vermilion sanctuary of the red dragon's habitat to the Tirisfal glade.
She and the blue dragon met by chance on the way, and Matigosa was originally on a mission on the orders of the Blue Dragon King, but after learning about what happened to the red dragon, she decided to put the task aside and help the strange color of the same race to find the dragon egg first.
The two dragons chase all the way to the Spider Canyon, where Alice Tassar loses her sense of the dragon's egg, but she is sure that her child is in the Spider Forest.
They searched the forest like headless flies, only to find that the Spider Forest was not so easy to navigate, and that several treacherous areas in the depths of the forest even threatened the dragon.
And the mutant giant spiders in the forest are not afraid of the dragon's might, and take the initiative to attack them, although the dragon is a creature at the top of the food chain, it is not invincible, and it can only fly to escape in the face of siege.
At a loss, Unas's assault on the canyon spider swarm begins, and the two dragons secretly observe the battle between Silver Dawn and the spider swarm, and decide to try to ask the humans for help.
The temporary leader of the spider swarm was the three-headed overlord spider, and Unas grabbed two of them, and the remaining one no longer dared to charge, hiding in the rear to command the battle.
Seeing that the battle between the human spiders and the spiders was at a stalemate at Qingyankou, the two giant dragons decided to help the humans first, they found the location of the last overlord spider, and launched an all-out assault from the air, killing the guards of more than a dozen overlord spiders in one fell swoop, and freezing the target to this temporary habitat cave.
The sudden loss of the leader of the spider swarm made them panic even more, coupled with the heavy casualties in the battle ahead.
The combination of various factors caused serious confusion and fragmentation of the spider group, and several brief infighting did not determine a new leader, so the spiders abandoned Qingyankou and dispersed again into the wide valley.
