The silver-haired youth who was crouching on the dragon's back suddenly let go of his grip, and with a burst of strength from his legs, he leaped off.
Holding the Valyrian steel sword, he thrust it straight down at close range towards the green dragon's crimson eyeball.
The green dragon clearly hadn't expected the human on its back to be so bold. Seizing the opportunity, it suddenly leaped down and thrust its sword into the dragon's eyeball. The dragon was caught off guard and the sword pierced deep inside.
puff--
Viserys, wielding the Valyrian steel sword, leaped down and plunged the sword into the green dragon's eye.
next second.
"Roar!!"
A deafening roar, filled with anguish, suddenly echoed from beneath the gray sky.
The green dragon flapped its wings wildly, its massive body twisting and struggling in the air, its mournful cries echoing across the entire sky.
Viserys blinded one of the green dragon's eyes, and blood flowed out. Viserys was also thrown off by the green dragon's violent struggle and fell freely from the sky.
"Viserys!"
Mia, who was on the dragon's back, saw this scene and her eyes widened, her eyes instantly turning red.
Even if there's a sea of smoke below, falling from that height would be fatal.
The red-haired girl couldn't believe that Viserys was about to fall and die. Her eyes reddened and tears welled up, which were carried away by the howling wind and scattered in mid-air.
Bellerion seized the opportunity, taking advantage of the green dragon's struggles as it fell from the sky, and opened his blood-red maw, biting off one of its hind legs.
Blood splattered freely onto the sea, and one of the green dragon's hind legs was bitten off by Bellerion, leaving only pale bones.
"Roar--"
The green dragon, in pain, let out another earth-shattering roar of agony, raising its other hind leg and slamming it into Bellerion's body, instantly inflicting another deep wound on the black dragon, its blood splattering into the air.
However, Mia was completely unaware of this. The red-haired girl simply gripped the saddle ring in front of her tightly, tears streaming down her face like broken pearls.
She didn't care whether Bellerion won or not; she only cared whether Viserys was still alive.
Why are you crying?
Just then, a hand reached out from behind Mia and patted her on the shoulder.
"Viserys?"
Mia's face was still covered in tears. She turned her head and looked at the panting person standing behind her, her face full of disbelief.
Viserys was covered in splattered dragon blood and unidentified liquid from the dragon's eyes, looking rather disheveled.
He turned into a cloud of black mist after being thrown off and returned to Bellerion's back.
Just as Bellerion was about to swoop down and end the green dragon's life, several more dragons appeared in the distance.
As expected, this battle shattered Valyria's peace, and the dragons corrupted by the black mist began to gradually revive.
"Bellerian, retreat now!"
Viserys' expression tightened slightly upon witnessing this scene.
The green dragon roared as it plunged into the sea of smoke, instantly being spotted by a sea monster lurking beneath the smoke. The dragon roared in response.
Although Bellerion desperately wanted to kill his opponent, he had no choice but to obey Viserys's orders.
The massive wounds on his body continued to bleed, the blood falling into the sea of smoke.
Then it spread its wings and flew towards the direction beyond the sea of smoke.
Soon after, the layers of smoke and haze came into view, and the distant horizon began to lighten with the first light of dawn.
Chapter 348 The Sea of Sighs
boom--
A tremendous sound rang out.
The black dragon descended from the sky and landed with difficulty on the ground, causing the earth to tremble. A wave of air, carrying strong winds and dust, rolled out in all directions.
The ground dented and cracked, and countless towering trees along the way were also affected by Bellerion's wings and collapsed with a crash.
Bellerion was injured in the great battle over the Sea of Smoke not long ago. The dragons fought a very bloody battle. With the help of Viserys, Bellerion bit off one of its hind legs, while the black dragon itself was also viciously clawed by its opponent, leaving a huge, bloody wound.
Blood was spilled freely along the sea of smoke, attracting countless monsters from below, hoping to feast on Bellerion when he fell from the sky.
Unfortunately, Bellerion was stronger than they had imagined. The black dragon carried a man and a woman on its back through the layers of mist of the Sea of Smoke and flew over the ruined city of Oros, which was near the Sea of Smoke.
This place was once one of the cities of Freehold, but it was later devastated by the apocalyptic catastrophe.
The turmoil in the misty sea seems to be expanding, and the mist that used to shroud the sea has now invaded the mainland.
Gradually enveloping this city that connects to the continent of Essos, it continues to invade the deeper reaches of the Land of Long Summer.
Before setting off, Viserys had heard that the people of Elia and Toros, who lived further away near Slaver's Bay, had begun to move their families away from the city, fearing that one day they would wake up to find themselves enveloped in a sea of smoke and mist, never to emerge again.
Now, the black dragon, carrying Viserys and Mia, broke through the mist, and the demonic dragons that were chasing behind seemed unable to escape the mist and did not continue the pursuit.
They finally arrived in the land of long summer, but then Bellerion, due to his injuries and excessive blood loss, could no longer hold on and had to descend from the sky with great difficulty.
They crashed into a forest at the edge of a vast lake, breaking several towering trees. The violent impact made the dragon's roar sound even more muffled and painful.
The dragon's fall had a huge impact on the small animals living in the forest, who fled their homes.
"Ho-"
Bellerion lay on the ground, listless and unwilling to move. Between its sharp teeth were bits of flesh and blood from the green dragon. Its breathing was heavy, and the wounds on its body were horrifying, flowing with bright red blood.
"How is it?"
Mia asked with some concern.
Viserys and his companion had already jumped off the dragon's back and sat down on the grass to the side.
The two of them were also helpless regarding the dragon's injuries, since they didn't even know how to treat people, let alone dragons.
Viserys and Bellerion communicated telepathically for a moment, then shook their heads and spoke.
"Belle Rien said it will get better after resting for a while."
Dragons possess strong self-healing abilities, and the injuries inflicted by the green dragon were not very serious. The main problem was that the dragon did not get adequate rest after being injured and flew for a long time.
This prevented the wound from healing, caused excessive blood loss, and ultimately led to the fall after leaving the sea of smoke.
"That's good."
The red-haired girl breathed a slight sigh of relief, then stood up and walked to the shimmering lakeside not far away.
Her clothes were already tattered, but the girl didn't make a fuss and knelt down by the lake, which was full of pebbles of all sizes.
He reached out and scooped up a handful of clear lake water, but instead of drinking it directly, he gently licked it with his tongue, and then frowned.
"Salty."
"This is where?"
She hadn't expected the lake water to be salty, just like seawater.
The sky was already tinged with a hazy glow, and the sun was gradually rising from the east. The brilliant sunlight pierced through the layers of clouds and suddenly shone on the earth, causing the shadows of the trees to sway gently.
Viserys, sitting on the grass nearby, was trying to calm Bellerion down. He heard the girl's voice and raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Is the lake water salty?"
Then the silver-haired youth stood up and walked to the lakeside to Mia's side. He looked up at the vast, boundless lake and squinted his eyes.
"We may now be near the Sea of Sighs."
According to the map, their escape route was not the originally planned path.
Instead, it flew along the city of Valyria, through Tria, across the sea of smoke to Oros, and then continued flying forward.
The land beneath their feet must be the legendary, sparsely populated land of Changxia.
Since the apocalyptic catastrophe, Longsummer Land has been affected, and most of the local residents have moved away, turning Longsummer Land into a vast uninhabited area.
This is the land of long summer, and this boundless lake is the world's largest inland sea. Beneath the continent, a narrow waterway connects it to the open sea, and it is known as the Sea of Sighs.
"So we escaped to the Sea of Sighs..."
Mia knelt on the pebble beach of the lake, her expression slightly dazed.
The morning sunlight shone on the shimmering water, casting a golden glow that fell into the girl's eyes.
Fresh air, the fragrance of grass.
"Did we... really escape from there?"
"Yes, we escaped from it."
Viserys took a deep breath, the morning sunlight bringing a touch of warmth.
Living in the mists of Valyria, they hadn't felt the warmth of the sun in a long time.
Although it was only a short two weeks, even Viserys felt as if it were a lifetime ago.
I truly felt the beauty of life; being able to see the sunrise every day is the happiest thing.
Indeed, in addition to water and food, sunlight is also essential for human life.
What are your plans next?
The two stood on the shimmering lakeside, and then Viserys tilted his head and asked.
The girl kneeling on the pebble beach released the lake water she was holding, her fair legs covered in scars. She looked up at Viserys standing beside her.
"Do you remember what you said before..."
The girl spoke softly.
"of course."
Viserys nodded slightly.
"This is your reward. If you have any wishes or want anything, just say so."
Mia found him five dragon eggs, each one priceless.
This was a promise Viserys made to her, and naturally he wouldn't go back on his word.
