Life is tough, so Honglong resorts to performing?

Chapter 39 Venue
As usual, relying on his status as an animal protector, Loren arrived at the entrance of the Emerald Leaf Rare Animal Park for free.

He then sent a message to Morris using the magic crystal terminal, hoping someone would come and open the door for him.

Why is it that the zoo is closed on Mondays, giving the animals a day off from the public eye? Look at the animal welfare they've managed!

A few minutes later, a smiling, white-haired old man, the Grand Druid of the Emerald Leaf Zoo, appeared beside Loren riding a giant eagle.

Loren's initially good mood suddenly soured.

He still remembered how the old man had ripped him off for a meal of barbecue skewers.

Is it appropriate for a high-ranking druid who has worked for decades to cheat a lowly red dragon who can only receive welfare while working?

"This child doesn't really like others riding him. You can fly by yourself, right?"

Before Loren could even speak, the old man asked with a grin.

“I have a city pilot’s license, but I’m not old enough to fly in the city.”

Loren sighed. Age was his eternal pain; having a future didn't mean he could act on it now.

"It's okay. The park has closed roads, so you can fly around freely, as long as you don't deliberately scare other animals."

Aaron said with a smile, staring expectantly at the kid in front of him.

Loren glanced at him, and a pair of broad dragon wings appeared behind him. Then, he soared into the sky.

"It really is a transformation of dragon scales; there's no need to change clothes."

Aaron looked at Loren flying in the air and thought to himself.

He then urged the giant eagle to lead the way.

Upon entering the park, Loren sensed an astonishingly large flow of fire-attribute energy. Without needing any prompting, Loren sped toward that location.

A moment later, Loren was stunned.

It was a construction site under renovation, and Loren was quite certain that this place would be his future stadium.

What surprised him was the furnishings inside the venue.

In the center of the stadium is a giant skull that is clearly in the shape of a frost giant, and it is about 25 meters tall.

Beside him, workers wearing protective suits were scraping off the thick coating and collecting it.

With each spot scraped away, the surrounding environment seemed to heat up a bit more, releasing a higher level of heat energy.

As the coating was scraped away, a fearsome sense of awe emanated from the skull.

Loren's intuition about powerful creatures, along with his ingrained grudges against dragons and giants, told him that the skull was not some kind of sculpture, but a real head.

A giant's head.

But reason told Loren, "You're kidding me! A head that's 25 meters tall would make the whole body 180 to 200 meters long. What kind of frost giant could grow that big?!"

And how could a frost giant release fire-attribute energy?!
Is this right?
“That’s right, just like you thought, this is the head of the Frostfire King.”

The old druid's voice came from behind Loren.

"Although I don't know where you got the information about it from in our zoo, everyone has secrets, and I don't want to ask you."

"After all, the valuable parts of this thing have already been taken out of it, so for now it can only be used as a nest for you."

Aaron spoke as if he already knew that one of the reasons Loren was coming to their zoo was because of this head.

The head of the Frostfire King.

Loren wanted to say, "What do I know? I only joined because you guys have good benefits! How was I supposed to know you had this stuff?"

But outwardly, he pretended to be calm, after all, this nest was just too tempting!
It is not only the skull of the giants who have a deep grudge against the dragons, but also the skull of the famous demigod giant, the Frostfire King, who is said to have reverted to his ancestral bloodline and seized a piece of ancient authority!
Even a little red dragon like Loren had heard of the other's name in various strange tales.

That happened two hundred years ago.

According to available records, this person was likely born in the wilderness outside the northern city of Winterfell.

He is a mutant that can absorb cold from the environment, causing an abnormal rise in his own body temperature.

In addition, it can transform cold into a continuous source of growth energy.

He quickly broke through the normal size of a frost giant, growing bigger and taller.

It is said that in the icy world of the northern wilderness, he once used his abilities to create a land that never freezes.

But no one has ever seen it with their own eyes.

All people know is that when this man appeared outside Winterfell, he was already over 200 meters tall and his body was radiating a heat even greater than that of a red dragon's breath.

The city's emergency response plan was activated, and a sub-divine artifact spear imbued with the properties of the Death of Titans was launched from orbit in space.

The spear was accelerated to its limit within the teleportation acceleration zone created by the combined spells of the mage guild, destroying the opponent's heart with a single strike and limiting his regenerative abilities.

Later, based on the opponent's characteristics, an ancient red dragon, along with its armor and a world of fire, confined the opponent within it, easily killing it in a world where it could not absorb cold.

"Isn't this guy's flesh and blood all military-grade controlled materials?"

Loren swallowed hard; he still couldn't quite believe it.

The absurd ability to absorb cold from the environment and convert it into a way to raise one's own temperature is incredibly useful in the weapons industry.

This thing is outrageous for explosives!

After completing the hunt for this person, Loren remembered that dozens of demigod-level magic crystal weapons should have been created, and Winter City had become the largest city in the north in the past two hundred years.

"Flesh and blood are controlled substances, but this cleaned skull doesn't count. The research on it has been completed, and it can be auctioned for civilian use. Then our boss went crazy and bought it."

The old druid sighed. Although the boss made it sound good—that with this head, connected to an energy-extraction array, it could supply the entire zoo's needs—it was still a good idea.

But the price of this thing is enough for their zoo to pay for two hundred years of magic energy!

You're a complete collector, you idiot!

Originally, this thing was brought here to serve as a nest for creatures with high fire-type energy.

However, because the power of the demigod-level frost giants is too terrifying, even coating them cannot completely conceal them. Not only can no corresponding animal adapt to their survival, but they are also prone to giving rise to low-level fire elementals.

Therefore, it has been regarded as a large energy source for many years, and the energy supply in the museum is mainly from this thing.

The Lava Heart venue was transformed into an exhibition area showcasing the element of fire.

Fortunately, the little red dragon has arrived.

With it, the skull of the Frostfire King can obviously be used normally, and can also be used as a gimmick.

All that's needed is to install energy-absorbing and shielding formations around it so that its power doesn't frighten tourists.

As for whether the little red dragon will be frightened by the giant's skull and dare not move in?

Ha, given the long-standing feud between dragons and giants, this is simply impossible; for them, it would be something they desperately want.
