Chapter 4 Wisdom In a scenic valley in the eastern part of the Dark Forest, a giant dragon flapped its wings, it circled several times in the low air, and then lowered its head, and a mouthful of dragon flame sprayed down. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

In the valley lie two villages that are not far from each other. At this moment, the two peaceful hamlets were on fire, and the panicked people fled in all directions. It seems that the village is inhabited by many people with martial arts. But under the influence of Long Wei, these people have no courage to resist at all, and the only thing they can do is to scurry around like headless flies.

The dragon's body suddenly fell straight down, and only came to a sudden stop when it almost hit the ground, levitating a meter in the air. A cloud of dragon flame had already condensed in its mouth, and the moment its body stopped, the dragon flame also erupted at the same time.

A few meters in front of the dragon's head, there is a farmhouse. The farmhouse was apparently unable to resist the mighty dragon flames at all, and immediately collapsed in the flames, turning into a pile of ashes.

The momentum of its descent came to such a rapid halt that a small milky creature could no longer grasp the dragon's horns, and fell from its head and fell heavily on its back.

The dragon's body retreated dozens of meters like lightning, and then soared into the sky. Several cottages on either side of its retreat were on fire at the same time, and they were burned down in an instant.

Under the dragon's fire, the peasants in the cottage will not even have a chance to scream.

The scales on the dragon's body shone faintly silver, but there were too many wounds on his body, and some of them were slightly oozing dragon blood. The mottled wounds obscured his original body color, and he looked more like a motley dragon with a less pure bloodline.

Despite his downfall, Nicholas still has some of the grace of the silver miracle of the past.

"What do you think of these attacks?" asked Nicholas modestly. But this question has not been answered. As soon as he turned around, he found that the envoy of the dragon god was hanging on his dragon's tail, and the four little claws were working hard together to prevent him from throwing them out.

Nicholas immediately slowed down so that the dragon god's messenger could fly back above his head and place himself among the clumps of dragon horns.

"It's a bit like these two!" said the envoy of the dragon god approvingly, "like the few mouthfuls of dragon flames you have at the beginning, you can't even roast a cow!" Although it is enough to deal with these fragile humans, how do you know that there are not a few sinister guys hiding among them? I know that those insidious guys, like the fat guy, like that, like that, like nothing more than pretending to be a guy with no skills, and then slap him hard when you despise him. Think about it, if you suddenly spew a powerful dragon flame at the time when they were playing this trick of showing weakness to you, what an evil joy it would be!"

"There are a lot of people down there who are on the run, should they all be killed?" asked Nicholas.

Gregory looked down and saw crowds of people leaving the burning village and fleeing into the forest.

It shook its head and said, "There's no need to waste time here. The purpose of these two villages is to show you how to deal with these weak creatures that don't seem to threaten you at all. Strength is not the only condition that determines the outcome of a battle, and wisdom and insidiousness are more important than strength. As long as you let go of your arrogance, your wisdom will not be worse than anyone else's, and at that time, with your strength, how many beings in this space can defeat you?"

Nicholas humbly listened to the teachings of the dragon god's messenger, and from time to time expressed some of his opinions. The two dragons exchanged spiritual fluctuations as they gradually moved away, leaving behind them only the valley of billowing smoke.

Although dragons are powerful, and most of them are born with dragon power that belongs to the category of psychic attacks, their overly strong strength often makes them ignore their own skills. As a result, only a few powerful dragons are able to use mental fluctuations to communicate.

The emissary of the dragon god was no more than a meter long, and his strength was ridiculously weak, and almost any young dragon was stronger than him. However, it is extremely comfortable to fly through the air and communicate with mental fluctuations under its own power, two things alone that would be almost unimaginable in the world of dragons.

The Ryujin Emissary itself has amply illustrated what a deep understanding of power is.

When the two dragons exchanged their views on power, or more precisely, when Nicholas was instructed in battle wisdom by the emissary of the dragon god, the messenger would often pause for a long time before he would utter something that would convince Nicholas. After a few times, Nicholas discovered the anomaly. But this immediately increased his admiration for the dragon god's messenger. Because it is very obvious that the messenger of the dragon god is communicating with the dragon god. Looking at the entire dragon clan, there may be dragons who overwhelm the silver miracle in strength, but it is almost impossible for a dragon to be able to guide him so in terms of combat skills and combat intelligence.

Therefore, the object of communication with this divine 'giant' dragon can only be the dragon god himself!

There were very few messengers who could communicate with the dragon god at any time, even in the era when the ancient gods showed miracles!

So, Nicholas lowered his haughty dragon head, allowing the messenger of the dragon god to stay in peace in the dragon horns.

The two-headed dragon flew northwest in pairs.

The haughty Nicholas had never made the effort to understand the situation of human society, so he naturally did not know that this valley was the territory of the Babylonian Empire. The Babylonian Empire is a small empire, with a small population and army, but it has an elite or, or rather, terrifying Golem force.

In addition, these two villages are also the hometown of Lentini, one of the three major sword saints in the mainland, and the hometown of the Fenglan Sword Saint Lentini.

Bluestone Mountain.

"The Frost Armored Giants are descendants of the Ancient Titans. They are able to throw ice spears and stones, as well as use some simple magic. For you in your heyday, it was of course a very easy job to destroy them, but your injuries are not light now, and there is a large tribe of frost armor giants accumulated on the bluestone mountain, and in my opinion, there are at least more than a hundred giants. But don't worry, your test is not to wipe out the entire tribe, that's impossible. The leader of this tribe has a young son, and your mission is to kill the leader of the giant tribe without killing his son!" Gregory announced the second test.

Despite the deterioration of his injuries and the loss of his mind, Nicholas endured the pain all over his body, carefully observing the terrain and thinking about strategies.

The bluestone mountain where the frost armor giants live has an extremely cold climate, and it seems that in addition to the geographical location, it must have something to do with these giants. The giants often used ice as their weapon, and their houses and chieftain's halls were made of immovable ice, tall and majestic. But from the perspective of Terran society, these buildings are very primitive and rudimentary. Most giants had only one room in their homes, the most majestic and complex of chieftains, with only three rooms inside and out.

Nicholas thought for a long time, and finally swooped down. This time, the messenger of the dragon god floated in mid-air, and did not personally follow Nicholas into the charge.

The dragon that suddenly appeared on the edge of the bluestone mountain immediately caught the attention of the frost-armored giant. As the roar of warning came and went, one adult giant after another emerged from his dwelling. Some of them held huge copper axes in their hands, while others condensed into huge ice spears of more than five meters between their hands.

As descendants of the Titans, one of the most powerful races of antiquity, the Frost Armored Giants are not afraid of dragons, and dragon power does not work against them. In the hearts of these irascible and warlike giants, the dragon's only advantage is its ability to fly. Being able to fly means running away quickly, this is the logic of the giants.

The giants of the mountain waved their weapons and let out a menacing roar at the dragon in the sky. And Nicholas carefully observed the distribution of the giants, and secretly sneered in his heart.

He's no ordinary dragon, he's the silver wonder Nicholas! Even if he's covered in wounds, he won't lose to these low-intelligence giants!

The dragon in the sky retracted its wings and swooped down, knocking down a lone frost-armored giant at the foot of the mountain. The short but fierce battle was over in the blink of an eye. The dragon had an overwhelming advantage in strength, agility, and magic, and with a long, terrible scream, the hapless frost-armored giant's chest had been clawed open by the dragon's claws!

Ignoring the dying giant, the dragon jumped on the ground and began to flee. It wasn't fast, so the Frost Giant's pursuers were getting closer and closer to him, and every now and then a huge ice spear would be thrown against his body and into the ground.

Seeing that the pursuit of the giants was getting longer and longer, Nicholas suddenly swooped back and knocked down one of the frost-armored giants at the front. At the opening of the dragon's mouth, a ball of silver flames burst out on the giant's face! This time, the giant's hoarse screams continued, echoing throughout the bluestone mountain!

A frost-armored giant who was much taller than ordinary giants walked out of the Chief's Palace, his whole body covered in heavy cyan armor, and a giant hammer engraved with mysterious runes in his hand. It seems that this is the chief of the entire Frost Armor tribe.

The Giant Chief stared at Nicholas at the bottom of the mountain, his eyes blood-red. He raised the hammer in the air, and then slammed it down into the air in front of him! The runes on the hammer lit up, and a thick lightning bolt slashed at Nicholas at the foot of the mountain.

Nicholas let out a low dragon groan, and the magical protection formed by the dragon's magic immediately protected its heavily wounded dragon body.

Frost Giants are not suitable for casting magic at all. So the chief's lightning struck the magic shield and disappeared silently like a stone into the sea.

The Giant Chief roared angrily and strode down the bluestone mountain. It will take down the dragon's surname and decorate his temple with the dragon's skull!

Nicholas fought and fled until the moment the giant chief ran to the foot of the mountain.

With a melodious dragon roar, Nicholas suddenly took off! He streaked across the sky like a meteor, and in the blink of an eye, he had appeared in front of the gate of the Great Hall on the top of the bluestone mountain.

The Frost Armor Giants are all very tall, and the gates of the Chieftain's Hall are large enough for the Silver Dragon to enter and exit easily.

A bright light flashed in the Chief's Hall, then swayed and collapsed with a roar!

In the ruins fell two frost-armored giant warriors who remained behind. None of them are dead, but they are seriously injured and completely incapacitated. The two giant warriors could only watch as the evil silver dragon grabbed a young frost-armored giant and flew into the sky.

In the huge roar of the giant chieftain that almost collapsed the entire bluestone mountain, the silver dragon hovering in the clouds let go of its four claws, and the young giant screamed and fell from the sky, and finally fell on a huge rock...... The curse of the Giant Chief still lingered in the sky above Bluestone Mountain for a long time, but the silver dragon in the sky had already flown away.

"Good job this time!" the dragon god's messenger didn't always teach Nicholas a lesson, and when the silver dragon did a good job, it didn't hesitate to praise itself.

Nicholas immediately expressed humility.

The messenger of the dragon god continued, "It seems that you have understood that you should concentrate all your forces on attacking your intended target. As long as it can kill the target creature, nothing else needs to be bothered. Well, you've been very creative with your dragon magic this time, but I feel like there are some flaws hidden in its magic system. It seems that you Silver Dragons have relied so heavily on breath, teeth, and claws that even dragon magic has been wasted. What? Of course, I'll guide you. But in order to find out what went wrong with your dragon magic, you'd better tell me everything you know. Anyway, there is still quite a long time before the abyss crevice, so let's start now!"

After a few moments, Nicholas and Gregory finally reached the abyssal crevice in the northern part of the Dark Forest.

It was a terrifying huge crack that stretched for several kilometers and was hundreds of meters wide. From time to time, a dark green mist erupted from the cracks, and along with the mist, there were bursts of howls from unknown creatures.

To the north of the rift there is an eerie altar. In the center of the altar is a pattern of flames. In front of the altar were several spears, each wearing a dark elf.

Around the altar there are a large number of Naga warriors wandering. They are different from ordinary marine nagas, not only are they much larger in size, but their scales are an eerie blue-red color. Almost all of these Naga warriors are armed with well-crafted sharp weapons. In terms of the degree of wisdom development alone, they far surpassed the frost armored giants who still maintained a large number of primitive habits.

In the middle of the Naga warriors were several flame elemental giants. Judging by the cyan flames emitted from their bodies, these were elder-level elemental creatures.

"Your mission this time is simple, it's to find a way to destroy the altar. You can rest assured that there is no other magical protection on that altar, just complete immunity to fire. ”

Nicholas' head was already cracking open in pain. These days, his injuries have been getting worse, and the dragon power in his body is no longer enough to stop the wound from festering. Although his will was extremely strong, he didn't know how long he would last. Maybe the next moment, he'll fall from the sky.

He struggled to gather his full attention, observing the altar and the creatures around him. The mutated Naga warriors and fire elemental elders are formidable opponents, especially the Naga warriors with spears in their hands, and while their spears are slightly less powerful than the frost armored giants, they are far more numerous than the giants.

Nicholas pondered for a moment, and the amber dragon's eyes suddenly lit up again.

With the dragon's groan, the silver light around Nicholas was shining like a meteor and threw it towards the altar!

The next moment, dust erupted on the altar!

In the blink of an eye, Nicholas's silver figure rose from the smoke and dust. Three spears stuck in his scarred body, and two blue-blue flames were mercilessly burning his flesh.

Nicholas didn't snort and immediately followed the messenger of the dragon god to the north.

At this moment, the ground was in chaos, and the mutated Naga warriors and fire elemental elders were all running around like crazy.

The smoke cleared, and the altar was reduced to rubble.

Suddenly, the earth trembled slightly.

A huge figure gradually rose from the crack in the abyss. It was a ten-meter-tall giant, and unlike ordinary giants, his body under his armor was actually composed of white and turquoise flames. Every step he made would cause the entire Dark Forest to tremble!

He is the symbol of terror in the dark forest, the flame tyrant Donk Bakara!

Seeing the ruined altar, the flames on Donk Buckla's body immediately turned pure white in anger! Suddenly, a few silver points of light in the ruins of the altar attracted its attention. It carefully picked up a little silver light and put it in front of its eyes to observe it carefully.

It was a silver dragon scale.

"I've ....... passed...... Has the dragon god tested everything?" asked Nicholas tiredly on a mountain peak in the distance.

"Not bad. In the chasm of the abyss, you learn to pay the right price in exchange for greater success. Now there is only one last test: power from nothingness! Complete this test, and you will gain the last evil wisdom!" Gregory said solemnly.

After listening to the test, Nicholas was surprised and said, "Do you want me to become a dark goblin?"

"Yes! Only by becoming the weakest dark goblin in every way can you appreciate the true meaning of power!"

Nicholas Silent.

The light flashed, and a dark goblin appeared on the mountain peak.

Before he could experience what the 'power of nothingness' was, he felt a sudden sharp pain in the back of his neck! The goblin turned his head desperately, and the corner of his eye suddenly swept to the point that it was the messenger of the dragon god who was biting his neck bone!

Gregory tightened his mouth and snapped the goblin's neck bone, and then said slowly: "This last wisdom is that a true wise man never blindly obeys, even if it is a voice from God......"
