Dragon's Flame. Almost bound to a real dragon, the legendary flame of nothing and incombustible.

In the legends of the land of Terra, although the true dragons have different forms, abilities and postures, all of them have the ability to breathe some kind of dragon fire, and everything will be incinerated and turned into dust under the power beyond human imagination.

This legend is not true. Or rather, not exactly.

True dragons do have the power to spew, but not only in the form of flames, in fact, it is not uncommon for true dragons to breathe frost and dissociate magneto-optics, high-speed particle beams, and even some kind of physical cannonballs, and even "hypergravitational devouring" and "magnetic traction", which are completely opposite to breathing.

The only thing that remains the same is that most creatures who face the power of the true dragon's breath have a hard time telling others about the characteristics they observe.

Because most of them have turned to ashes, and they can no longer speak.

Theo's Void Flame originated from the poison of the Void Demon he had once endured, with extremely strong mental corrosion and sanity destroying power, and the flames that were translucent on the outside but slightly scarlet on the inside were spat out of the air by the pool, shooting straight at Kod's back.

In his heart, Kod was madly scolding the intelligence of the Flame Land - who told him that the child of the King of the Mountain had no combat power, and was even dragged down by the other party? Although the opponent's attack is straight and has no experience in advance, it is amazingly powerful!

He could only leap forward, crouching on the ground, barely able to avoid Theo's breath.

Just being brushed by the flames of the Void Realm, the mountain chieftain couldn't help but feel stunned in his heart, feeling that his memory and reason were rapidly fading...... Fortunately, he was at the third energy level, so it was only a moment before he returned to normal.

If you are hit directly...... As a soul-purifying wood with similar abilities, he may not die, but most of his mind will be burned out, and he will become a retarded mind who can only be abaaba!

It's better to die!

"Run!"

Kede did not hesitate, his prostrate body rolled forward like a ball, and then directly got up and strode forward to escape.

The right choice. Fighting a two-on-one battle with a real dragon and a person who is suspected of being pinched by a real dragon, Kede doesn't feel that he is an invincible hero who has won a hundred battles, and what is there to fight for in a situation where he will definitely lose?

If you have to run, you must run, and if you don't, you will die!

In front of him was a steep cliff on the edge of the Steel Dragon's Nest, and below the cliff was a dense forest, and he could use the terrain to speed up and escape by speeding down the cliff and hiding in the forest.

But how could Ian possibly let the other go?

In order to deal with a third-level energy level head-on, Ian is basically full of cards, whether it is the Rock Forge Knight, the Aether Crystal, the Ancient Dragon Heart Core, or the "essentia furnace core system" and even the computing unit assistance that has been researched recently, all of them have been used.

And having seen all this, Kod must die today.

"Want to escape?"

Ian raised his left hand, the aether crystal and the ancient dragon heart core worked at the same time, and in the sound of violent heartbeats, he threw the heavy abyss iron sword in his hand.

The essentia of the first energy level can only strengthen the flesh in the body, and the flesh and blood become steel, which can resist most of the damage, as long as it is not a high-powered weapon such as alchemy artillery, ordinary guns and cannons are meaningless, and the essentia of the second energy level echoes nature, and every move can lead to changes in the surrounding phenomena, igniting fire, condensing ice, and lifting the rock wall, and a person is an armed fortress.

But the third energy level, or the essentia condensed to the third energy level, its existence itself is no different from the strongest and densest substance, it is comparable to ultra-high-strength nanoalloys, coupled with the heartlight shield, even if you are alone in the face of an entire alchemy artillery position and strategic weapons bombardment, you can be unscathed, at most a little impact.

However, in the battle of the same level, except for those who specialize in defense and have essentia armor, no one will ever try to take the enemy's weapon containing essentia.

Because the extremely high purity essentia itself is already close to the "primordial ether" where essentia and psionic energy are mixed, it has the direct interference and destructive power of the heartlight shield, and can destroy the body protection position around the body of the third-level powerhouse.

And losing the Heartlight Shield will make many attacks that are not lethal in the first place become deadly.

such as

Say this sword.

The heavy abyss iron sword, which held almost all of Ian's essentia, pressed and dispersed all the surrounding air, forming a twisted vacuum sharp current, which roared beyond the sound, pulling out a vacuum blasting channel visible to the naked eye in mid-air, and the aftermath continued to spread in all directions, and half of the sky was directly blasted open, revealing a cylindrical hollow.

The black flying sword went straight forward, mercilessly piercing through Kod's left shoulder, and the huge force knocked Kod down the moment it hit, and his body smashed a huge semicircular hole in the ground.

The mountain chieftain was crushed to the bottom of the pit with a muffled snort, and half of his body was almost shattered by the shock, completely unable to move.

However, the hard-hit Kode was around his body, and the light body of the heart appeared.

The woody roots spread out of thin air, forcibly taking over the temporarily immobile body, and with the power of the mind, forcibly moving the almost suspended body again.

This is the power of the third energy level. Their will will become reality, their conviction is their shield, their conviction is an invincible blade - even death cannot kill them temporarily, and even corpses can exert incredible power before the psychic body is completely dissipated.

Gritting his teeth, Kod slowly stood up, he still had to leave, he couldn't die here.

But with another high-pitched howl, the steel sword flew with a slightly weaker momentum than before, severing Kod's right leg.

Kode, who had just stood up, fell to the ground again—even though the heart light body was able to turn from virtual to solid and condense a new leg, he didn't have time.

The dragon shadow descended in front of him at the same time.

- Defeated.

This word flashed in Kode's mind, and he knew very well that he had no chance of turning the tables around. Ian alone can face him head-on, and a true dragon whose strength is probably not inferior or even surpasses his own, the possibility of him winning the battle is zero, and there is a chance to escape.

It's just that now, the escape is no longer complete, and he is destined to die here, under the steel dragon's nest.

Well...... Dying in the Holy Land, however, cannot be regarded as a bad ending.

Thinking of this, Ke De was even a little relieved in his heart, his originally prostrate body forcibly turned around, lying on his back at the bottom of the pit, and his eyes were a little distracted looking at the top of the steel dragon's nest in the distance.

There, endless rain clouds converge with the natural essentia throughout the Baison Mountains, creating a vast psionic field that weaves a web of thunder and thunder.

Magnificent and magnificent.

"It's good."

He said softly, tilting his head slightly, and looked at Ian, who was already standing beside him: "Although I don't understand why you are so strong, I probably know why that guy from the cliff trusts you so much, and even helps you sit down." ”

"It's a shame." Blood flowed from the corners of Kode's mouth with fragments of internal organs, but his words were still as clear as they were, with a hint of regret: "If only I had known you earlier...... With the help of an unnatural genius like you...... We mountain people will surely be able to truly control our own destiny. ”

"You're in terrible condition."

Ian shook his head, he saw that Kede's life had passed irreversibly, and even the heart light body was taken back by him, and he completely gave up resisting: "Even if you knew me earlier and became friends with me, I would at most abolish all your sublimation organs now, leave you alive, and let you live incognito for the rest of your life." For the third level, it's worse than death, isn't it? ”

"What's more, what you have done is too wrong, and the Jiamu tribe enslaves other tribes to serve themselves, so that the destruction of you itself can be used as an opportunity to reunite the mountain people as a whole. For me, for the mountain people, the Kamubu is doomed. ”

“…… But in the narrow mountainous area of Nanling, if I don't compete for the resources of other tribes, how can I strengthen myself? “

Kede's eyes have begun to fade, and there are many, many unwillingnesses in his heart, as well as endless remorse and anger, but at this moment, the first thing this man remembers in his heart is the expectations of his mother and teacher back then.

———— he wants to be a messenger of the dragon god.

The envoy of the dragon god can lead all the mountain people to reunite and make them great again.

But he doesn't get along

Messenger of the Faith Dragon God.

No one can reunite the many hill tribes that have been broken up by the empire and divided by various means, autonomous regions and colonies... The population is so large that each tribe must firmly occupy its own territory, tap the resources in the land, and supply them to the empire in exchange for enough food to survive.

Even their own rations were not enough, how could the mountain people have the courage and opportunity to rebel against the empire? And the resources are so narrow, he doesn't accept the support of the Flying Flame Land, and doesn't completely destroy the inherent pattern of the mountain people in the entire Baisen Mountain Range, even if the Dragon God Envoy really appears, how can he let the mountain people reunite and prosper again?

Kod doesn't believe in the legend of the Dragon's Emissary, but he's always tried to be that hero.

At the very least, he wants to be the hero of the Kamubu.

The mountain people don't need other tribes, they just need the Jiamubu...... As long as you accept the resources of the Flame Lands, start a rebellion, and destroy the food sources of the other mountain people, you can use the resources to dominate a large part of the mountain tribes and form a temporary 'independent mountain people's alliance,'.

Then, through the war with the empire and other mountain people, he distinguishes between "you" and "us", and at the same time divides the mountain people, he also truly absorbs some of the mountain people into his own power.

And next...... As long as the plan is successful, and the Flying Flame Land will severely damage the imperial forces of Nauman City and Southridge in the next plan, then their mountain people will have the capital to be truly independent!

Even in the process, the mountain people will collapse and half or even half of the population will die...... However, by sucking the blood of other mountain tribes and receiving the support of the Flying Flame Land, the Jiamu tribe will quickly grow stronger, and then become synonymous with all mountain people.

When all the hill tribes became part of the Jiamu tribe, the hill people were unified.

- This is not a dragon god messenger.

This is just an ordinary, despicable political opportunist, a "mountain woman" who sells her compatriots in exchange for the growth of her own side.

In Kode's dream, the alliance of mountain people he wanted to forge was a sacrifice to his tribe from the beginning, and its existence was a stepping stone for the growth of the Jammu tribe. He knew this, he knew his wickedness and vileness, but he did it without hesitation.

But now, everything has been reversed.

As Ian said, Kede knew very well that when his third energy level died, the destruction of the Jiamu tribe would instead become an opportunity for the other party to unite the other mountain people who were persecuted by the Jiamu tribe.

And Ian can use the corpse of his "wicked man" to become a dragon god messenger who is more recognized by the mountain people?

- So...... Right now.

———— I am a sacrifice?

"But I can only think of this way."

Reality and dreams are diametrically opposed, ironic, and Kede couldn't help but want to laugh, he smiled wryly, and as he walked towards death, he muttered, "I've read few books...... I can't really think of any other way......"

Ian ...... The geniuses who are famous in the imperial capital know your reputation in the Flying Flame Land—you may really have a way to guide the mountain people to prosperity again. ”

"Instead of being like me, let them be the sacrifice of your dreams?"

Corde stared at Ian as he wanted to wait for an answer, an answer he couldn't think of, an answer he couldn't answer.

"I haven't read a book...... Oh, yes. ”

After a moment of silence, Ian sighed, and drew his two swords from the enemy's body, bringing a large canopy of blood: "If only everyone could learn from the mistakes of history, they would be familiar with the knowledge of books...... Many mistakes may be avoided. ”

"I do have a solution. In my eyes, the mountain people are not sacrifices, but useful tools, necessary materials. Just like myself, it's the same. ”

"So now, I'll lend you a head."

The messenger of the dragon god swung his sword and without hesitation beheaded Chief Kod.

A powerhouse of the third level died.

Despite all the regrets and pains in his heart, Kod Jiamu did not resist, and he calmly faced death, dying under the steel dragon's nest, the sacred land of the mountain people.

Ian took off his head, hung it around his waist, and then turned his head to look at Theo, who had been silent all along, watching all this seriously, and the red-haired dragon girl with a rather familiar appearance on Theo's real back.

"Theo, you woman

The body is stronger than the male one. ”

Ian raised his eyebrows, glanced at Theo's body, and then at the red-haired dragon girl, and he could see this at a glance: "Men only have the first level, but women do...... Strength close to the third energy level! If you rely on the mental light body, you also have the strength of the third energy level. ”

[After all, it has been used for decades, and it must be cultivated a little stronger]

Healthy, Xio responded with a hearty smile, with a skillful taste of "if the trumpet graduates, then open the next trumpet".

The former "freak dragon" was no longer hideous, and the dragon's head turned slightly, and the pair of golden dragon pupils focused on Ian, and said curiously: [Ian, your strength...... Ah, I shouldn't have asked this, my mother said, what do you say, we admit it]

"That's really thanks to the King of the Mountain's thoughtfulness."

Ian also couldn't help but laugh, in fact, the reason why he ended this battle so quickly was precisely because of Xio's entry, so that he could not expose the power related to the immovable fortified city.

Everything else is easy to say and can be explained, but the big deal is to push it to the dragon transformation organ and the blessing of the holy land to the dragon god messenger.

But it would be bad if news about the Immovable Fortified City leaked from Theo.

I have to say that the battle with Kod allowed Ian to gain a lot of valuable information.

On the other party, Ian can almost be said to have used all means except armor, and tried his best to tie with a third-level Kankan - Terra's sublimation method is really quite solid, Ian has so many hangings, and it is very difficult to cross the level, and it can even be said that he may not be able to fight.

But on the other hand, if such a tight system can be transformed and revitalized...... That's a big deal that can change the structure of Terra's society!

Ian glanced at the corpse of Kodgamu at the bottom of the pit, and with a wave of his hand, the surrounding rainwater gathered into a stream, carrying the surrounding rain slurry to cover the hole.

With the passage of time, a soul-purifying tree may grow again on this land, and on the bank of this holy mountain, it will become the food for many latecomers to seek their dreams.

This is perhaps the end end of almost universal to all plant-based sublimators.

"Let's go, Theo."

Ian didn't say much, Kodgamu is indeed a strong enemy, but it is not the real final boss, capturing the opponent's head is only the first step, and he still has a lot of things to do.

Theo nodded slightly, the mechanical wing on his right side hung down, and there was even a ladder-like structure on it [Where are we going]

"Go to Frodo."

Ian ascended the stairs and stood at the side of the dragon maiden, and with a steady rhythmic vibration, the dragon flapped its wings and took off.

He raised his hand and pointed into the distance, his tone calm but firm: "We are going there to stop the civil war of the mountain people." Kode's head will be a reason for an armistice, they will all be part of my power in the end, and they cannot continue to shed blood. ”

"Whether they want it or not, peace must come."

【…… Ian]

Theo didn't actually spend much time with the teenager, he only took some interest in this extraordinary 'individual' because of the other's dragon blood and later genius fame - and then Ian helped him break away from the Avak Laboratory, and let him cure his Void Toxin aberration, all of which were crucial helps.

The real dragon wants to understand his friends better so that he can better help them in the future.

So he asked, "Do you really want to become the co-leader of the mountain people?" In the past hundreds of years, there have been many mountain people who wanted to take this road, and most of them failed, because of the empire, because of the mountain people themselves, because of the lack of resources, because of the lack of land...... I heard Kod's words, although he was a bad guy and had never read, but even if he did, it was difficult to find a solution to the problem.

[Moreover, when you settle the dispute among the mountain people, you will become a thorn in the side of the Flying Flame Land!] They will absolutely stop at nothing to provoke the ultra-independents among the mountain people to assassinate, and even use force to wipe you out themselves! 】

Theo told the truth objectively, and he wanted to know where the young man's ambitions were going, and whether he and his mother needed to help him in the name of the True Dragon or the Dragon Cult.

And Ian gave him an answer.

"Nothing can solve the current dilemma. The only way to solve the 'current dilemma' is the technology of the future. ”

"New things that have never appeared before can solve the old problems that have been deposited for a long time, although technology cannot solve all the difficulties, but without new technologies, the dilemma is a desperate situation."

Turning his head to the side, Ian smiled and said, "Theo, if you're really curious, I hope you can stay in the Xiahui Territory and witness the changes I will bring to the mountain people, the Baisen Mountains, and the Nanling Province." ”

Theo's dragon girl prosthetic body was slightly stunned, she blinked, and laughed: "Okay." But I have to talk to my mom. ”

———— good can finally leave the dragon's lair openly, Xi'o thought about it, and felt good in his heart.

And, once you're acquainted with Ian, you can ask him if he can use his face to make a new prosthetic!

———— good! There is a third-level true dragon protection on the surface of the territory, so there are many things to say. Ian thought.

On the surface, there is no third energy level, and there are still relatively few things that Xia Hui Ling can do, but if it has something to do with the true dragon, especially if Xi'o is the heir of the king of the mountain, then what drastic changes occur are nothing more than the technology of the real dragon", it is not a big deal.

"As for the Flying Flame Land, there are other extremist independent mountain people, but I am not worried."

Turning his head, Ian looked at the clouds that were constantly sweeping backwards in front of him—Theo's speed was so fast that it looked like it wouldn't be long before he reached Frodo: "What they have is nothing more than the simplest form of violence. And the way to deal with violence is nothing more than greater violence, stronger barriers and more powerful weapons. ”

At this moment, the inheritor of the Immovable Fortress said calmly, "If you really go that far. ”

"I believe I'm the one who stands still."
