Chapter 127: The Trail Emerges!

This demonstrated that as long as that power existed, the vitality of these fallen dragon beasts would become incredibly resilient!

...

"How is the situation?"

Antawana watched Vetter emerge from the snowstorm back into the cave. She stepped out from her hiding spot and inquired.

Vetter shook his body to dislodge the snow before speaking. "Not very optimistic. I found traces of that power near the Dragonfall Valley, but I didn't locate the source.Has Linstar awakened yet?"

Antawana shook her head, a trace of worry flashing across her eyes.

Vetter, however, was more optimistic.

"Don't worry, it's almost time!

Moreover, compared to those fallen dragon beasts, I'm more concerned about the food supply. While scouting, I found another dragon beast settlement had disappeared.

The temperatures are dropping, and almost 99% of the dragon beasts have left.

It's a pity we can't eat those fallen dragon beasts!"

Upon hearing this, Antawana couldn't help but give Vetter a withering look.

"That joke isn't funny at all!"

Just as Vetter was smiling and preparing to say something, strange sounds emerged from the depths of the cave.

The two dragons exchanged glances, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes!

Linstar slowly opened his eyes, looking utterly confused.

Who am I?

Where am I?

What am I doing?

However, this confused emotion was quickly replaced by an intense hunger.

The hunger was so intense that he could feel a gnawing pain in his stomach.

Have I been hungry for a whole year?

Linstar thought with some helplessness.

But just then, an intense aroma of food drew almost all of his attention.

Turning his head, Linstar saw a mountain of meat.

Without bothering to figure out where the meat came from, Linstar pounced on it and started eating with all his heart.

It took only about half a magical hour for Linstar, who was now full, to regain his senses.

Turning his head, he indeed saw two figures—one silver and one blue-green—watching him silently from nearby.

Seeing this, Linstar instinctively shrank back, saying nervously, "Vetter, Antawana, why are you looking at me like this? Did something happen?"

Seeing Linstar in such an uninspiring state, Vetter shook his head helplessly.

Even after teaching the other for a whole year and training him in various ways, he didn't expect to change Linstar's cowardly personality, but at least he hoped Linstar wouldn't be this timid.

But it proved to be a natural trait, and his efforts were almost in vain, just like he had tried to stop Billy from stuffing things into his mouth.

Therefore, Vetter could only hope that Linstar's cowardly personality would improve as he grew up, letting him gradually realize that he was a naturally fearless dragon, not a coward.

Well, facts proved him wrong again!

A year of slumber had changed Linstar's height, but his personality remained unchanged.

Thinking of this, Vetter sighed again.

However, speaking of height, Vetter couldn't help but glance at Antawana next to him.

These two years should have been the most stable for Antawana since her birth, with plenty of food. But her rapid growth phase had already passed.

And unlike Vetter, who was gifted, Antawana didn't have the same talent.

Therefore, if you didn't look closely, you wouldn't notice much change in Antawana's size over the past two years.

Vetter hadn't changed much, but his companions were growing taller and taller. Antawana must be feeling unhappy about it!

When Antawana saw Vetter suddenly looking at her, she hesitated for a moment before rolling her eyes impatiently.

"What are you staring at? I don't care about that. It doesn't affect my magical power!"

Vetter awkwardly averted his gaze and looked at the clueless Linstar.

"Look at your size!"

Upon hearing this, Linstar obediently looked down at himself.

As his teacher in magic, he had shifted from initial fear to respect for Vetter. Well... okay, it didn't make much difference to him; he still showed cowardice.

When he saw his appearance clearly, surprise flashed across his face.

"My size has grown so much! Vetter, is this what you mentioned before, the rapid growth phase? So, I've just awakened from slumber?"

Vetter hesitated for a moment before a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

Vetter had only mentioned the rapid growth phase casually during Linstar's lessons. He didn't expect the other to remember it so well.

Thinking this, Vetter nodded on the surface.

"You've been asleep for a year!"

"A year, huh..."

Muttering to himself, a realization dawned on Linstar's face. No wonder he was so hungry when he first awakened; he had been hungry for a whole year.

But then, the realization in his eyes was replaced by confusion.

If his memory served him right, he should have fallen asleep at the beginning of summer.

But now, although he hadn't gone out yet, the surrounding temperature already indicated that it was winter.

Thinking of this, Linstar turned to look at his tail.

Eh... It was dark green!

For a moment, Linstar looked at Vetter with a blank expression.

Seeing Linstar's action, Vetter knew what he was confused about, so he recounted what had happened in the past few months in detail.

Despite Linstar's current size being much larger than Antawana's, if they were to fight, he would definitely be overpowered by Antawana.

With over thirty years of magical understanding and combat experience, they were not on the same level.

Moreover, Antawana had ascended to the rank of Bronze Low!

She was only one small realm behind Vetter, although there was still a significant gap in their combat strength.

Although Linstar wasn't strong, he had at least passed the most vulnerable stage of being a young dragon. With his breath, he could still participate in Bronze-level battles.

Moreover, there was no need to hide this from anyone; those fallen dragon beasts were already at their doorstep!

"That's the situation. So, for safety, we must leave here!"

Leave?

Linstar hesitated for a moment before bowing his head and falling silent.

Although he had promised Vetter to join the Desedro, he had no concept of this dragon lair.

In comparison, this cave where only the three of them lived was his home in his heart.

And now, he needed to leave it.

Linstar felt an indescribable emotion in his heart.

Seeing this, Vetter and Antawana exchanged glances and helplessly sighed.

"Well, it seems you need some time now. In fact, I understand how you feel. When I first left the dragon lair, I felt the same way!"

Saying that, Vetter flew outside.

Antawana glanced at Vetter as he left and unfolded her wings while saying calmly, "At least your memories are beautiful, whereas I... haven't even had that beauty!"

With that, Antawana also left.

After hearing Antawana's words, Linstar stared at the surrounding cave in a trance for a long time before currentping back to reality.

With a bitter smile, Linstar unfolded his wings and prepared to leave.

He wasn't stupid!

After hearing Vetter's recount, how could he make the idiotic decision to stay?

There were strange fallen dragon beasts outside, and there was a shortage of food inside.

Staying here would mean waiting to die.

He just couldn't accept the fact that he had to leave right away!

As Linstar silently bid farewell to the land where he was born and lived, he felt a strong elemental fluctuation outside.

Linstar's face immediately changed.

"It's Vetter and the others!"

Saying that, he quickly flew outside...

"Why are these things here, and..."

Here, Antawana looked around with a ugly expression, gazing at the piles of fallen dragon beasts approaching them, and continued, "There are too many of them!"

Unfortunately, Vetter didn't have time to answer her question now, as his Zero-Degree Cold current never ceased.

In the sweep of the Zero-Degree Cold current, countless fallen dragon beasts were frozen into ice blocks and then crushed into ice bits under the impact of their "companions."

As for the power within them, it dispersed under the brush of his breath, leaving no hidden dangers.

Vetter was well aware of the terror of that power.

Regarding Antawana's question, although he couldn't speak for the moment, Vetter's solemn gaze mixed with confusion already indicated that he wasn't very familiar with the current situation.

Fortunately, these fallen dragon beasts were not medium or large dragon beasts but ultra-small ones, occasionally mixed with some small dragon beasts of similar size to Vetter.

In addition, Vetter was no stranger to these small dragon beasts. They were the Asclepius dragon beasts he had encountered during his trip to the Moonshadow River a few months ago.

He had thought these creatures would leave due to lack of food, but unexpectedly, they had been corrupted by that power.
