Chapter 105: The Dragon City-State!
Vetter then looked towards the north again.
It was still a distance away from the Yaka Hills, and only some undulating shadows could be vaguely seen.
To be honest, both sets of scenarios had pros and cons.
In the former case, he might be able to return to Desedro ahead of schedule, and in the latter case, he would be able to obtain some materials for engraving magic formations through other means, allowing him to cultivate himself without worry.
Faced with these two choices, Vetter was still quite torn.
But soon, Vetter didn't need to be torn!
Right after he unintentionally glanced in that direction of Yaka Hills, he noticed a small black dot that was rapidly growing larger.
Without the slightest hesitation, Vetter directly rolled over and jumped towards the cliff on his right.
The cliff was able to block the other side's gaze, but Vetter didn't stay on top of the cliff, instead, he directly zipped towards the Moonshadow River below.
When a thick dragon's might pressed down on Vetter's body, he had already entered the Moonshadow River.
Only a head was exposed to observe the northern sky.
Soon, a huge dragon with four feet on the ground, three horns in the shape of a curved moon and curved upwards, and a reddish copper-colored metallic luster all over its body rested on the opposite side of the cliff.
Vetter carefully observed the other party.
The three horns looked extremely smooth, and the wingspan was a little more than double the length of the body, which was relatively short.
The scales were diamond-shaped, large and raised, and there were also spikes at the tips of the scales. The dragon's tail was a bit thick and short compared to the other dragons, but with that kind of dragon scales, it still looked quite intimidating.
With a body length of around six hundred meters, this was a Red Copper Dragon in its prime!
Just as Vetter was sizing up the other party, suddenly, that Red Copper Dragon's head turned around, its dazzling golden pupils filled with vigilance.
Afterwards, it didn't come over to check it out, but instead directly opened its mouth, and an earth-colored torrent directly shot over towards Vetter's side.
The exclusive spit of the Brass Dragon, Sandstorm Riptide!
And Vetter had already realized something bad when the other party looked over, diving directly into the water and swimming downstream without the slightest hesitation.
At the same time, he had already made a decision - Freedom City!
Other than that, judging from this dragon's habit of directly spitting a mouthful of breath without saying a word, the Yaka Hills side was simply not suitable for a young dragon like him to live.
Just as Vetter was thinking this, the Moonshadow River behind him had already been cut off by this spit.
At the same time, a thick pressure crushed over towards this side.
The opponent was coming after him!
Feeling the violent aura in the other party's might, Vetter didn't dare to let the other party catch him.
Looking at the water level that had been intercepted by the spit and was rapidly falling, gritting his teeth, Vetter forced himself to endure the disgust in his heart, and then plunged headfirst into the river mud below, and ......
“Time Reversal!”
With a short chant, the river mud at Vetter's drilled-in location restored its original appearance.
And Vetter was motionless, trying to calm himself down as much as possible while slowing down his heartbeat to bring down his vital signs.
Mental power had certain limitations and wasn't able to penetrate objects.
And if it continues to go deeper into the earth layer below ...... The Red Bronze Dragon is earth elemental affinity, and it can easily detect the abnormality in the earth layer.
Therefore, the river mud mixed with river water became the best hiding place for Vetter ......
As Vetter had guessed, the Red Copper Dragon hadn't discovered Vetter's traces, and after stopping for a while at Vetter's hiding place, the other party continued to chase downstream.
Vetter could feel the opposing party's pressure gradually moving away.
But he still didn't move.
Sure enough, it wasn't long before that Red Copper Dragon returned and then circled around the neighborhood before leaving.
Vetter still didn't move.
Thinking differently, Vetter, if he was that Red Copper Dragon, after searching around so much, he could basically be sure that the dragon he was looking for was hiding around.
In that case, he definitely wouldn't have left, but rather quietly hid to the side.
And it was true, that Red Copper Dragon didn't leave, but crouched on the triangular cliff where Vetter had stood before, his gaze constantly scanning the river below.
He was basically certain that what he had just seen was a juvenile dragon.
Eating his own kind was not so bad, but capturing him back might come in handy.
With this thought in mind, the Red Copper Dragon did not intend to leave easily.
Of course, the other party could have died directly under his spitting breath, and he, who had just been startled by that prying gaze, hadn't held back the slightest bit.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be so bad that the Moon Shadow River would directly break its flow.
Not to mention a juvenile dragon, even a youthful dragon might have its corpse and bones left behind.
He stayed here only with the idea of trying it out.
At this time, the Moon Shadow River, which had previously been intercepted by the Red Copper Dragon's mouthful of Sandstorm Rapids, once again flowed.
Seeing this, this Red Copper Dragon's brow frowned slightly, but it quickly stretched out again.
If the other party wasn't dead, then he should be hiding in those river mud, the only place where he could hide from his senses.
However, the Lunar Shadow River was wide, so washing the river all over again with his spit was somewhat not worth it, and if he consumed too much, he would easily be targeted by the other guys in the Yaka Hills.
If he went rummaging around with his bare hands, as a Red Copper Dragon, he hated wet and muddy places.
Now that the river was flowing again, it could help him determine the death of this teenage dragon.
Soon, a little bit of time passed.
Looking at the river that hadn't moved, the Red Copper Dragon finally determined that the dragon should have died under his spit.
Otherwise, after such a long time, it would have long since been unable to stand drilling out.
Moreover, there were no traces of water elemental fluctuations, indicating that the other party was not hiding in the water.
“Tsk! Waste of time!”
Casually muttering, the dragon's might on the Red Copper Dragon was once again released, a symbol of his status in the midst of Yaka Hills.
And only after he had been gone for some time did Vetter cautiously poke his head out of the river.
Then he swam towards the downstream without hesitation.
He couldn't let the other party find out again, there was only one more use of Time Reversal left, and after using it, the Time Rune would completely fall asleep.
The next time there was a sign of awakening, it would pull him into a new time closure.
Although it wasn't necessarily a bad thing, it was really hard for him to accept that kind of knowledge of what would happen in the future and he could only go through the motions up to that point.
That's right, Vetter had used another time rewind earlier.
Against himself!
That was why he was able to hold on for so long without breathing in the river mud.
Taking one last look at the direction where the Great Rift Valley was located, Vetter plunged headfirst into the river, his huge body as flexible as a fish as he swam all the way downstream.
Yaka Hills was truly unsuitable for him, that one Red Copper Dragon alone was enough for him.
However, Vetter was not a kind dragon.
Not only did that guy almost kill him, but he also forced him to have to hide in the dirty river mud for so long, using his life-saving card twice in a row.
The aura on his opponent's body was something he had already memorized, and when he was strong, he would inevitably come back to trouble him.
“I hope you didn't leave Yaka Hills at that time!”
With this thought in his mind, Vetter continued to move forward towards that unknown life!
......
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed since he left the Great Rift Valley side!
Along the way, Vetter wasn't exactly in a hurry.
Don't look at the book's easy description, as long as you follow the Moonshadow River all the way south, and divert to the west when you meet the Starry Night River, you'll be able to reach Freedom City.
But he knew very well that this description could only be used as a general reference.
If he really wanted to follow the book, he would die without even knowing how.
Not to mention how the terrain that the Moon Shadow River flowed through along the way, just the dragon beasts that might appear in the surroundings was a big problem.
Therefore, every time he traveled a distance forward, Vetter would stop and investigate the dragon beasts that were infested around him.
Once he found new dragon beasts, he would observe the habits and abilities of these dragon beasts to prevent being caught off guard when they were matched up.
Speaking of this, Vetter had some regrets.
If he had known earlier, when he punished Billy back then, he shouldn't have asked for that Dragon Encyclopedia, instead, he should have let him key in a Dragon Beast Encyclopedia.
Now that he met a dragon beast he didn't recognize, Vetter could only determine the other party's ability through observation.
If there was a Dragon Beast Encyclopedia, one would only need to flip through it to find the relevant information.
“Thinking about Billy, I don't know how those guys are doing now, are they sad because I left without saying goodbye.”
Muttering a sentence, Vetter shook his head.
“Now is not the time to think about that.”
Saying that, Vetter continued to observe the river.
Today, he noticed that the river's water level had risen slightly.
Calculating the time, a month had passed, and it was likely that the large lake would be completely formed.
In that case, in the next period of time, the water level of the Moonshadow River would likely rise by leaps and bounds, and furthermore, the river would be far more turbulent than it is now.
In that case, rushing through the water would no longer be a wise choice.
