Chapter 113: The Dragon's Lair
There are many exotic flowers and plants on this island.
Unfortunately, Sauron did not have much research on the "Herbology" in the branch of alchemy, and could not distinguish the medicinal properties of these plants. He walked around from the side with his men, and could feel that the closer he got to the north of the island, the temperature dropped significantly. This is a rare phenomenon and may be related to the geothermal heat emitted by the volcano on the south side of the island. The northern side of the island was covered in snow and ice, but it was mostly concentrated in an area where Sauron judged that it was most likely the lair of the White Dragon.
Because there is a giant dragon living here, it is almost impossible to see any beasts.
Sauron walked for more than half an hour before finally approaching the snow-covered peak, the surrounding cliffs were very smooth and steep, and covered with a layer of ice, not like a natural formation, more like some kind of creature deliberately arranged like this. Dragons like to make their nests steep walls ninety degrees vertical, so that it is difficult for other flightless creatures to get close. As a white dragon with slightly weaker abilities than other dragons, they also like to cover their nests with dragon's breath spewing cold ice.
This ice makes it very difficult to climb around the cliff, and any enemy who dares to challenge it near the lair will be subject to a negative status of 'Ice Walking', requiring agility-related reflexes to be identified while active, otherwise they may slip and misattack. However, the White Dragons do not have such a problem, because they are born with a special specialty of [Ice Walking]. The Frost Pterodactyls that Sauron used to deal with had a portion of the White Dragon's bloodline, so they also liked to cover their nests with ice. [Details Volume 1.] 】
"Hide."
Sauron gestured to the rest of his men behind him, and commanded in a deep voice, "You stay nearby." I'll find a way to lure the white dragon out of the lair, and then you can find an opportunity to attack its dragon wings with heavy javelins. ”
Heavy weapons are born with 1 armor-piercing ability.
It can be simply understood as a heavy weapon against the whole body knight plate armor, which is much easier to use than ordinary sword slashing, these heavy javelins have a hidden armor-piercing effect, and it may be a bit difficult to throw them to break the dragon scales, but it is quite simple to break the dragon wings. The javelins all have obvious barbs on them. It looks like a speargun, with some javelins attached to chains, and a heavy short all-steel javelin on the other. Which weapon, if used correctly, can lock the dragon's wings, rendering them completely incapacitated.
Unless the dragon directly forcibly tears off the javelin and the dragon's wings!
- "Shadow hiding! ”
Sauron's figure faded into the shadows, he looked at his surroundings, and then approached the mountain wall on his right. Because of the ice cover, the entire mountain wall is so smooth that it would be impossible for anyone else to climb it. However, this is not a problem for Sauron, who has a full 25 agility points. I saw a pair of daggers appear in his palm, and then the whole person climbed up silently, and soon reached an open platform on the mountain wall.
It's a big platform.
The diameter is probably more than fifty meters, and it is difficult for nature to produce such a neat platform, and Sauron only knows at a glance that it is prepared by the dragon for himself. Dragons fly like eagles, they like to dive down from a great height and then soar into the sky with dragon wings, so many of them will prepare such a platform for themselves, even if the dragon occupies the ancient castle, they like to dive down from the highest point of the castle when flying.
It's a habit!
Walk a little to the left along the platform. Sauron sensed something was wrong.
That's a hard feeling to describe.
It was as if the whole person was involuntarily breathing heavily, his heart was beating faster, as if he was frightened, a cold hair rose on his back, and there was an inexplicable sense of powerlessness and prostration. It felt like I had a bad cold, and I didn't have any strength at all.
This is Long Wei!
Almost at the same time that this feeling appeared. A row of numbers jù also emerges:
"Affected by the effect of dragon power!"
"Trigger the Mandatory Will Waiver Judgment! …… Will immunity judgment pass guò! …… You have successfully exempted Longwei from the negative effects! …… You've successfully exempted Long Wei's Fear Effect! ……”
………………
The feeling of powerlessness gradually subsided.
It didn't last long, and Sauron soon regained his normalcy.
One of the biggest headaches for dragon slaying is the dragon power on the pure-blood dragon, which is a domain ability that does not require the activation of the permanent zài. It is also an ability that comes with being born with a dragon. They can exert coercion on any nearby creature that comes within a certain radius of them. This kind of coercion ignores the enemy and us, and although it cannot directly kill or injure the enemy, it can have a deterrent effect. It can be quite useful to deal with some creatures with weak strength and weak mind and insufficient will.
The vast majority of dragon reconquest servants use dragon power to open the way, and it is easy to subdue some monsters.
Ordinary people can't bear Long Wei.
Therefore, it may not be useful to deal with the dragon and use the tactic of using a sea of people, because seeing the dragon may make many ordinary soldiers scared and weak, and they will basically not be able to exert any combat effectiveness in the future. The effect can be imagined as a Tyrannosaurus rex or a herd of wild elephants rushing towards you, and then you have a sword and a shield in your hand, in which case if you still have the courage to stand still and fight, then your will immunity is definitely passed. If you fail to do this, you may fail to defend yourself against Long Wei. (Will judgment 16+!) )
Sauron is a person who attaches great importance to the attribute of will, so it is not surprising that he exempts the negative effects of Long Wei, but whether the pirate subordinates he brought over can successfully exempt Long Wei's negative effects depends on whether the will in these people's hearts is strong enough. But people who sail on the sea all year round, endure storms and waves, and often face the danger of killing and fighting sea monsters must be stronger than others in terms of will.
The will really matters!
Ever since Sauron had been to the Abyssal Hell, he had understood this very well.
Circling the entrance to the dragon's lair from the side, Sauron soon spotted his target, a large-grown white dragon.
The depth of the Dragon's Lair is not very high.
In fact, adult dragons are impatient, and they can sometimes seem careless, as if young adults are easily impulsive. It is only in old age that dragons begin to become cunning, when they begin to avoid head-on combat, preferring to use traps against intruders, and their dragon's lair will gradually turn into a huge labyrinth over a long period of time, and then the treasure will begin to hide deeper and deeper, and the maze will begin to be guarded by more dangerous monsters, such as the most common minotaurs.
As for the Elder Dragon, just think of the Elder Red Dragon in White Horse City.
Until now, others thought that it was just an adult red dragon appearing there, and it is estimated that it will be some time before others discover that it is an ancient red dragon hidden there, and then it will cause an uproar throughout the Southern Plains, and cause a lot of panic. It was a big buzz at that time, but Sauron didn't know if things would turn out the same way he knew in the past. If he can, he will still have to try his luck in the future, because there are artifacts in this ancient red dragon's lair.
White Dragon.
The weakest of the five-colored dragon species, it belongs to the creatures of the Chaos and Evil faction.
The lair in front of him was similar to what Sauron remembered, the white dragon liked to dig the dragon's nest down, although the dragon's nest was on a higher mountain, but the mouth of the cave was sunken downward, and it was frozen on all sides because of its cold dragon breath, and it looked like a huge ice cellar. The white dragon is not very picky about food, it is like other dragons, it can eat almost anything, the dragon's digestive ability is as crunchy as steel, but the white dragon prefers to use the dragon's breath to freeze the prey and eat it again, many white dragons live in overseas areas, and will dive to the bottom of the sea to hunt fish.
And most importantly!
The White Dragon is the dragon's favorite dragon to attack from above, and it is also the dragon that must use the dragon's breath to spit out for the first attack.
Because the white dragon spits out more dragon breath than other dragons!
In the young dragon stage, the scales will reflect like a mirror, and as you get older, this luster will gradually disappear. When it reaches adulthood, the characteristics of the white dragon will become grayish-white, which is an important basis for judging the strength of the white dragon's challenge, Sauron just glanced at the dragon's lair, and roughly judged that this is a white dragon in late adulthood, which is almost close to its prime.
The vast majority of dragons.
Strength can be calculated simply based on age, and their growth period is the Infant Dragon Stage (Challenge Level 1); Infant Dragon Stage (Challenge Level 4); Adolescent (Challenge Level 7); Youth (Challenge Level 10); Adulthood (Challenge Level 13); Prime-age (Challenge Level 16); Old age (challenge level 19); Very old (Challenge Level 21).
Basically, that's pretty much the time the dragon is here.
Further up is the Elder Dragon, this kind of dragon basically has divinity, it can be said that the difficulty of dealing with them is not much different from challenging the Divine Sage, so it takes a lot of luck to kill the Elder Dragon and the Primal Dragon.
The white dragon in front of me is a white dragon that has transitioned from [adulthood] to [prime]!
This is not good news.
This is because pure-blood dragons, even the weakest of the five-colored dragons, will have an additional Physical and Spell Resistance after transitioning from Adulthood to Prime, and will be immune to any physical and spell damage below 10 strength. This natural talent will gradually increase over time, eventually evolving to be immune to certain types of damage. Thankfully, when these dragons are killed, the dragon scale skins on their bodies will inherit some of their defensive resistance, and they can directly produce first-class extraordinary equipment.
A little bit of trouble!
Sauron quietly stared at the adult white dragon about fifty feet long in his line of sight, and carefully touched it little by little.
