Chapter 228: Village Condition
On the way to the Shensha tribe's village, Owen discovered that there were several places in the forest on the east bank of the Wenshui River that looked like they had been scorched by fire, and there were still a few remaining black flames on the branches.
Just like the records in the ancient books, the Black Dragon King's dragon breath is black.
According to descriptions, the effect of the Black Dragon King's dragon breath is similar to that of a flame. It generates heat, flickers and rises upwards. The difference is that it does not emit much light and does not have the lighting function of a flame.
As he approached the village, he didn't see the Black Dragon King. Owen stopped for a moment to check the situation nearby.
It was discovered that all the fish ponds outside the village had been destroyed by the Black Dragon King. A large number of fish fry that had not yet grown up were burned into black charcoal and blended into the charred earth. The surrounding trees were affected and burned bare.
Seeing this scene, Owen couldn't help but frown.
"The lizard people's hard work over the past six months has all been in vain."
Under the guidance of experience provided by humans, the fish ponds that the lizard people finally dug were destroyed by the Black Dragon King before they could reach a large scale. This would definitely severely damage their confidence.
Is the Black Dragon King having trouble with the fish pond? Owen couldn't help but wonder.
"Is this the fish pond you asked the lizardmen to dig?" Angelica hovered near Owen on her Pegasus. "It was burned until nothing was left."
"Let's go and take a look inside the village." Owen controlled the armor and flew towards the village ahead.
Compared with the fish ponds outside, the condition of the village is slightly better.
Looking down from the air, I can visually see that a quarter of the houses have been burned down, and black smoke is still rising in many places. In addition to black fire, there are also ordinary flames burning things. It should be that the Black Dragon King ignited other fire sources when he attacked the village.
.
[Alfa, search the village for any lizardmen who haven’t had time to evacuate.]
【Understood, searching...】
Alpha took over the armor and conducted a detailed and thorough search inside the village, which was quickly over.
[After the search, no lizard people were found in the village, and no signs of life were detected in the collapsed houses. 】
Great, that means the lizardmen of the Sinking Sand Tribe ran for refuge before the arrival of the Black Dragon King.
[But a lizard man was found hiding in a tree outside the village.] Alpha added later.
【oh?】
Owen turned his head and looked in the direction of the prompts in his field of vision. The lizard man should have stayed to confirm the situation in the village, waiting for the rescue team from Border Guard Town, and informed him of the detailed situation.
On the other side, Angelica kept hovering above the village, seemingly searching for any injured.
Searching with the naked eye was obviously not as efficient as using armor, so Owen flew over to stop her.
"Angelica, stop looking. There are no lizardmen here. They have all left the village to take refuge."
"Really?" Angelica was doubtful.
If what Owen said is true, then the leader of the Shensha Tribe was really quick in organizing his people to evacuate.
"follow me."
After saying that, Owen turned around and flew towards the tree where the lizard man was found hiding, and Angelica had to follow closely.
There was an open space in front of the tree. Owen controlled the armor and landed there, and Angelica also landed on her Pegasus.
After landing, Owen looked up at the crown of the tree and said loudly: "Lizard man hiding in the tree, you can come out."
rustle--
The branches swayed, and an agile lizard man jumped down from the tree. It was Xiron who ran to the east to light the beacon fire.
Facing the mysterious figure all in gray and black and the strange woman riding a Pegasus, he reached behind his right hand to touch the handle of the short blade and asked warily: "Who are you?"
"It turns out to be Hieron." Owen asked the armor to open its face, revealing his face, "It's me, don't be nervous."
"Lord Lord."
Seeing it was Irving, Chiron quickly knelt down on one knee.
"What is the current situation of the Shensha Tribe? And where is the Black Dragon King now?" Owen asked anxiously.
"All the old, weak, sick and young people in my tribe are hiding in the nearby air-raid shelter. Everything is fine. The elders are calming their emotions."
Xiron raised his head and reported truthfully: "The able-bodied clan members followed the acting clan leader Keman to flee north and took refuge in the dwarf clan's underground city Nuwari. Their casualties are unknown."
"As for the Black Dragon King..."
Ouch——
Just as Xiron was about to report the information about the Black Dragon King, a low dragon roar came from the north, and some bird monsters were frightened and flew away from the trees in a hurry.
Hearing the sound, Owen turned his head to look north and said, "It's in the north, right?"
The old, weak, sick, and young lizardmen are relatively few in the entire tribe, and they are still hiding in air-raid shelters. Most of the lizardmen are fleeing to the north. When the Black Dragon King wants to hunt down, he also pursues targets that are crowded and can be found on the ground.
"Yes." Xiron nodded, "The Black Dragon King may be wandering near Nuwa."
"Hilon, go back and tell the lizard men hiding in the air-raid shelter that the lord has come to save everyone. This crisis will be over soon. You all can rest assured."
With that said, Owen controlled the jet pipe to extend from the back of the suit, spraying out colorless flames at the same time as the soles of his feet, slowly rising into the air.
The Black Dragon King is still plundering in the north, not only the lizardmen but also the dwarves are suffering.
There is no time to delay, we have to rush over quickly.
"Lord, do you plan to challenge the Black Dragon King personally?" Xilong said with a surprised look on his face.
In his impression, the lord's magic is quite powerful, but when compared with the Black Dragon King, the gap is not just a point or two, but a huge gap.
"Roughly the same."
The armor's face closed again, and when it closed, its eyes glowed orange and flickered.
Owen had to show his confidence and continued: "Don't worry, the lava armor I'm wearing is super powerful. Even if it doesn't work, I can lure the Black Dragon King to the border town and let him feel the attack of muskets and cannons.
"
After saying that, he turned around and accelerated towards the north, and Angelica took off again on her Pegasus to catch up.
Watching the two of them fly away gradually, Xilong on the ground secretly thought to himself, I hope the lord can succeed, and that lava armor is so handsome!
"It's better to go back and report to the elders quickly." Xilong turned around and walked towards the air-raid shelter.
After flying a certain distance to the north, Owen used the visual system of the armor to quickly find the figure of the Black Dragon King, which was hovering above the southern slope of a tall mountain near the Mysterious Forest.
As soon as the Black Dragon King is discovered, the armor immediately reads and analyzes its various body data.
He truly deserves to be the Dragon King. His tail is more than a hundred meters long, and his dragon wings are nearly a hundred meters long when fully extended. He is huge, with his whole body covered in black dragon scales, breathing out black dragon breath, and his powerful and thick limbs, which are quite majestic and domineering.
Finally, he saw the true face of the Black Dragon King. Even though he was mentally prepared, Owen was still shocked by its powerful aura.
