Chapter 128 Leave!
Upon reflection,Vetter's reaction wasn't entirely unexpected.
These creatures were scavenger Dragon Beasts, and the reek of decay emanating from the Fallen Dragon Beasts naturally drew their attention. It was only natural for them to be targeted, and after feeding on the Fallen ones, the Asgea Dragon Beasts' corruption was a foregone conclusion!
Vetterh these thoughts, Vetter ceased his breath attack.
Of course, he hadn't annihilated all the Fallen Dragon Beasts; he was just out of breath!
Taking a few deep breaths and working out the numbness in his jaw, Vetter unleashed his deadly breath once more upon the Fallen Dragon Beasts.
Suddenly, a deep green breath attack cut into the fray.
The Fallen Dragon Beasts hit by this breath lost their color, turning ashen gray all over. Their corpses remained stationary, shattering into pieces like clay statues when bumped into by others and scattering everywhere.
Vetter turned his head towards the source of the breath attack and saw Linstar soaring in the air. Despite the shock on his face, he attacked the Fallen Dragon Beasts Vetterhout hesitation.
Astounded, Vetter couldn't help but reflect.
Perhaps Linstar wasn't as cowardly as he had imagined.
Just as Vetter was thinking this, Linstar flapped his wings and approached him.
"Vetter, what's happening here?"
In response, Vetter sighed helplessly and said, "Would you believe me if I said I don't know?"
"Are you two still chatting? Have you decided whether to leave or not?"
At this moment, Antawana's voice rang out.
As Vetter and Linstar were talking, the two dragons' breath attacks ceased, leaving Antawana alone to hold the fort at the entrance of the cave Vetterh her magic, preventing the Fallen Dragon Beasts from entering.
However, the number of Fallen Dragon Beasts was overwhelming. Most Ultra-Miniature Dragon Beasts were communal, and once one was corrupted, the others couldn't escape the same fate.
If they didn't plan to leave right away, they couldn't let these creatures crawl into the cave. Otherwise, cleaning them up would be a nightmare.
Upon hearing Antawana's words, Vetter and Linstar exchanged embarrassing glances.
Then the two dragons quickly resumed their breath attacks to clear the area.
Yet, the Fallen Dragon Beasts came in waves like a tide.
Vetter couldn't fathom why there were so many Fallen Dragon Beasts.
If not for the fact that, apart from Asgea and other small Dragon Beasts, the rest were all Ultra-Miniature ones, Vetter would suspect that the entire vicinity had been contaminated by that strange power.
As time passed, the difference in strength became apparent. While Vetter and Antawana were still fighting, Linstar had to stop.
Continuing any further would make it difficult for him even to fly.
With a regretful glance at the cave behind him, Linstar chuckled bitterly and turned to Vetter and Antawana.
"Sorry for being so reckless. Let's leave this place!"
Upon hearing this, Vetter and Antawana nodded and flew upwards Without saying anything.
Moreover, in the process, Vetter deliberately cleared the remaining few Fallen Asgea Dragon Beasts.
Among Ultra-Miniature Dragon Beasts, many possessed the ability to fly, and they didn't lose this ability after being corrupted.
However, their flight speed was far inferior to Vetter and the others.
Asgea Dragon Beasts were different. They were naturally adept at flying, and after being corrupted, their flying ability became even stronger.
If not cleared, they would follow them indefinitely.
These creatures were hated by dragons before their fall and even more so after.
Fortunately, they weren't very powerful and quickly turned into shards of ice under Vetter's deliberate attention.
After reaching the sky above the Fallen Dragon Valley, the three dragons spontaneously halted.
Vetter enjoyed the ambiance here. It felt like he had returned to Desedro. Antawana had spent two peaceful years here, and Linstar was even born here.
Therefore, this place held special significance for all three dragons.
At this moment, the Fallen Dragon Valley, which should have been covered in snow, was instead occupied by a bustling crowd of darkness.
Many of them were chasing after them.
Linstar, as if venting his frustration, unleashed a breath attack at the pursuing Fallen Dragon Beasts, but his eyes had lost much of their light.
"Vetter, is the place we're going as peaceful as this place once was?"
Vetter didn't know, but he nodded.
"Of course, it's much more peaceful than here, peaceful enough for us to grow up smoothly."
Upon hearing this, Linstar silently nodded and fell silent again.
Seeing this, Vetter didn't say anything else.
He glanced down at the Fallen Dragon Valley for the last time before flying towards the east, with Antawana and Linstar following closely behind.
The Fallen Dragon Valley dwindled, gradually becoming a small shadow in this icy world.
And Vetter and the others noticed that such shadows weren't limited to the Fallen Dragon Valley!
Upon seeing those shadows, Vetter's face was filled with solemnity.
He had anticipated that this power would bring many troubles, but he hadn't expected the troubles it caused to be much greater than he had imagined!
And this was only what he could see. What about the places he couldn't see?
Rustle... Rustle...
The Fallen Dragon Valley was filled with Fallen Ultra-Miniature Dragon Beasts.
They crawled around the valley, and their originally faint sounds, amplified by their terrifying numbers, were particularly loud, giving an eerie feeling.
There was no movement at the cave entrance, but if any dragon saw the scene inside, they would surely feel their scalp tighten with fear.
The cave was crawling with Fallen Dragon Beasts, not only on the ground but also on the ceiling. Some Dragon Beasts even stood on their comrades' bodies.
However, unlike the Fallen Dragon Beasts outside, those inside the cave didn't move around but stood still.
Only the strange power within them kept surging, contaminating the free elements in the air Vetterhin the cave, making them turbulent.
Time kept passing, and half a month had gone by in the blink of an eye!
During these half a month, the Fallen Dragon Beasts remained in their previous states: those outside ran around as if searching for something, while those inside the cave stood still, seemingly waiting for something.
On this day, the Fallen Dragon Beasts in the Fallen Dragon Valley suddenly became agitated. After an initial hesitation, they began to flee frantically towards the outskirts of the valley.
Yes, flee!
Like a fountain, they spread out in all directions.
Even the Fallen Dragon Beasts inside the cave poured out.
However, before they could escape the Fallen Dragon Valley, the valley began to tremble. Then, faintly illusory golden flames ignited everywhere in the valley.
Any Fallen Dragon Beast that touched the golden flames also caught fire, but they didn't die immediately or turn into ashes.
On the contrary, the flames seemed harmless, merely burning.
However, whenever other Fallen Dragon Beasts came into contact with those burning with golden flames, they also ignited with the same flames.
Soon, all the Fallen Dragon Beasts gathered in the Fallen Dragon Valley were enveloped in golden flames.
The Fallen Dragon Valley trembled even more vigorously, and the golden flames spread throughout the entire valley.
At this moment, an ancient voice, dragging an exceptionally slow tone, suddenly sounded.
"That aura... so familiar... but I've forgotten where I felt it before... it's really familiar, but I've forgotten... I've forgotten so many things...
Speaking of which, what am I doing here?
Old friend!
He asked me to help watch over something, but what was it... what exactly?
Huh?
They've left?
When did they leave... was it when I was thinking?
I should have asked him!"
Accompanied by low murmurs, a giant head slowly rose.
Rolling rocks and collapsing trees were insignificant before that head, like wild grass
.
As for those Fallen Dragon Beasts, the originally illusory golden flames on their bodies instantly solidified, leaving no ash behind.
The golden flames didn't extinguish with the death of the Fallen Dragon Beasts; instead, they spread throughout the Fallen Dragon Valley and soon covered the entire valley.
Subsequently, the rocks shattered in a violent tremor, revealing the grayish-white bones inside.
The golden flames adhered to the grayish-white bones like flesh and blood.
A more than two-thousand-meter-long bony dragon body stood up after being fully covered by golden flames. In the two eye sockets of its grotesque skull, golden light burned even brighter than the flames on its body.
"Hmm, such a strange aura, not like the power of the Dragon Realm... really not? My memory is too poor... but it's okay, I can just ask him!"
