Make the dragon great again

Chapter 85 Spy

Outside the City of Thunder, on the edge of a coastal cliff, Adrian, who had shrunk his body down to a wingspan of about four meters through a transformation technique, was looking at the island on the northern sea.

That's where Behemoth's ancestral lands lie - an abandoned dragon lair, and even an ancient dragon tomb.

Adrian has been here for half a day.

After arranging the affairs of the dungeon, Adrian used [Psychological Invisibility] to fly all the way to the northeast in his full body state. After arriving two hundred miles southwest of the City of Thunder, he was able to see two places beyond the northeast coastline from a high altitude. After reaching an island, Adrian began to hide his aura with all his strength, shrinking his figure and approaching slowly.

For the general legendary fantasy species who are not good at energy and magic perception, at a distance of several hundred miles, unless they are prepared in advance and fully sense it in a targeted manner, it is difficult to detect another one deliberately hidden beyond this distance. Fantasy species;

And the giant dragon is born with the ability to manipulate the free magic power in the atmosphere, which is one of the most perceptual abilities among the fantasy species. It even has a similar perception of conditioned reflex for the subtle changes in the magic power balance in the atmospheric environment in which it is located.

When there were a large number of undead creatures in the [Barbarian Front], Adrian was still in the northern part of the Great Forest of Murion, thousands of miles away from the [Barbarian Front]. The abnormal energy fluctuations...

When Adrian approached the City of Thunder for two hundred miles, in addition to hiding his breath, he also opened up his perception and pointed to the land of the ancestors of Bechymos;
At a distance of only more than 300 miles in this straight line, Adrian can already clearly sense that on that isolated island overseas, there is a vague and chaotic energy fluctuation, undulating like a living creature's heartbeat.

However, the more he perceives this strange fluctuation, the more puzzled Adrian becomes.

"This is not right... This feeling is clearly the fluctuations emitted by a living body with a flesh and blood body, but except for the giant dragon among the fantasy species, almost all of them have the ability to affect the mind of creatures in a wide range. biology……"

There will be certain differences in the various energy fluctuations radiated outward between life forms with material bodies and energy creatures without material bodies;

And Adrian judged based on what he perceived, that what was hidden in the ancestral land of Bechymos should be a material life form.

But the problem is that among the material life forms, except for the giant dragon, there are few that have the ability to affect the mind of creatures on a large scale.

"Among the remaining phantom species on the suspected list, all of them are energy creatures... Could it be that my judgment is wrong?"

Adrian flicked his tail a little impatiently, and suddenly, another guess arose in his mind:
"Could it be...the one over there is actually another living dragon?"

This guess made Adrian feel a little excited. He was very happy to see a living pure-blooded relative appear, which is why he has been vigorously cultivating dragon descendants and some inferior dragons.

However, if it is a giant dragon, then the other party existed at least 200 years ago.

According to Kunas, after the Battle of the Misty Sea, he was the only surviving giant dragon, and there were no other living eggs that could be hatched. Now, it is impossible for a dragon egg to hatch, and after so many years, it should become a dead egg;

As for dragon descendants or inferior dragons, although they have the potential to purify their bloodlines into pure-blooded giant dragons, in the absence of the gift of blood from pure-blooded giant dragons, the possibility of purifying the bloodlines of these inferior dragon species is extremely low, almost to zero, it can be ignored.

Therefore, it is impossible for the dragon clan to continue to the present through natural reproduction. If the opponent is really a giant dragon, there is only one possibility:
The other party, like Adrian, was also favored by [Dragon Roots], and was also hatched from an arranged dragon egg!
Only in this way will it be possible to give birth to new giant dragons now 5000 years after the extinction of the dragon clan...

However, the current Adrian is not as reckless and uncalm on issues related to other dragons as he was when he just left the dungeon.

"If it's a giant dragon, even if he's in a deep sleep, I've been spying on him for so long with the unique magic power of a giant dragon, and I should have noticed it anyway, but in fact there's no movement at all..."

Adrian's vertical pupils narrowed slightly, and his eyes focused on the island on the northern sea. He saw that the surface was still calm, and the energy fluctuations in his perception, like the beating of a heartbeat, were still at a frequency as gentle as falling into a deep sleep. It was going on, without being disturbed at all.

Moreover, if it is a giant dragon, it would be unreasonable for the other party to make the Behemoth royal family more and more declining in the past 200 years, because this violates the blood instinct of the dragon.

For example, Adrian, even if he does not regard the inferior dragon species including dragon descendants as the same race, but if he is asked to choose between ordinary human race and a dragon descendant family, there is no doubt that he will definitely not Will make a choice that is beneficial to the two-legged sheep but harms the interests of the dragonborn...

In addition, the opponent's magic fluctuation frequency is a bit strange, a bit like a mixture of different energies, although there is a hint of a dragon in it, but this can be explained by "the land of the ancestors is a dragon tomb or an abandoned dragon nest", It is not enough to prove that the opponent is a dragon.

After all, even the frequency of the Skeleton Dragon's magic power fluctuations was closer to the giant dragon than this...

"It's unlikely to be a giant dragon, but it's not like the fantasy species that were originally guessed. Could it be that after the end of the Age of Gods and the complete solidification of the bottom rules of the world, there will be new unknown fantasy species born?"

The more you guess, the more distant the answer becomes.

Shaking his head, Adrian decided not to think about this issue until Edmund and the others finished investigating the abnormalities of the nobles in Thunder City. Anyway, he didn't intend to contact the other party now.

"No matter what you say, you must first make yourself invincible. In order to advance to the legend, most of the void feedback accumulated before was consumed, and the rest needs to be used to maintain the operation of the dungeon mode. After accumulating more I don’t want to provoke this guy for the time being until I have sufficient void feedback, enough for me to perform at least three [Over Limit Mode]..."

[Over Limit Mode] is Adrian's name for the state of rapid burning of blood and void feedback in exchange for a state of greatly improved combat power in a short period of time during the previous battle with the Skeleton Dragon.

Giant dragons can burn their original blood to fight, but without the support of [Dragon Roots], original blood is extremely precious to ordinary giant dragons, and after burning, they will fall into a period of weakness for a long time, and even life-threatening ;

That is to say, Adrian has been recognized by [Dragon Root], and the source blood can be quickly replenished through the conversion of void feedback, so he dared to use the burning source blood as a permanent explosive skill, and named it [Super Power] limited mode]...

"Now let's look at the problem of the Bechymos Kingdom first. Such a high-quality leek field can't be ruined because of a war between humans..."

The miniaturized Adrian flapped his wings, propped his body up into the air with the most ordinary aerodynamic force, and flew towards the city of thunder.

Except for the means used to hide his aura and body shape, Adrian has not used any ability to manipulate magic power for the time being, so as not to leak his aura and be discovered by the unknown phantom species in the ancestral land.

……

To be continued.

Note: 【Over limit mode】

This word comes from a concept of modern warfare in reality - [Unrestricted Warfare].

[Unrestricted Warfare] refers to all modern means of warfare that are different from traditional hot warfare, including financial warfare, information warfare, trade warfare, and ecological warfare, that can strike the enemy physically or psychologically.

In fact, I originally wanted to name this mode of Adrian's "overclocking mode", but it sounds a bit like a computer term, and coupled with a recent event (you know), so a piece of brain, it is called [Overclocking Mode] Mode] Got it.
