Dragonborn Camp

In the wasteland, horrible monsters can be seen everywhere, and deformed plants are spreading. A plush little white mouse jumped under the leaves, and the nearby vines suddenly opened their bloody mouths and swallowed it in one gulp. The seemingly harmless little insect's skull suddenly split open, spitting out a tongue that was tens of meters long, and swallowed the monster that was nearly half a person's height nearby.

The light of the lantern shrank, protecting the girl as she walked deeper. A layer of vague malevolence enveloped her, blending her into the mist, fundamentally deceiving the hunter's perception.

After crossing the wasteland, she saw a hidden camp.

This camp was obviously built not long ago. It had simple wooden railings, and the buildings inside used Mecha City technology, which allowed them to be built and dismantled in a short time. Gloria saw several Dragonborns inside.

These bloodline people were indeed very powerful, otherwise they would not have set up their base so close to their target. But this also put Fielding and his companions in a difficult position. They would never have been able to cross the wasteland and find this place.

The girl didn't come closer. She stood not far away and watched quietly for a while, then continued walking forward.

There was a faint sound of water in the air, which became louder as we got closer. Soon, a broad river appeared before our eyes.

The river is so wide that it is not the size of an inland river. The rapids are hard to cross, and many monsters can be seen in it. What is even more terrifying is that the edge of the river is charred black, and every time the river water splashes, it will erode countless holes.

This body of water is actually a highly corrosive liquid!

I don't know how these monsters survive in the water. Not to mention breathing, their corrosiveness alone is enough to give me a headache. But this is not difficult for the girl. Her illusory body floats across the river and walks to the other side.

After reaching the other side, the girl spoke again: "I will be alone from now on. Tell Brother Oleus that I will wait for him in the City of Insects."

"Please be careful, the owner of this place is very fierce."

The portal had already given up and was eager to run away. This territory was filled with a fearful aura, and the young new king threatened all outsiders. It hurriedly reminded Gloria and immediately ran away. Staying for one more second would be disrespectful to life.

The girl looked away as if she was used to it and continued to move forward according to the plan.

Looks pretty, but actually it's a terrifying carnivorous plant that chases people...

Once you get close, you must verify your identity, otherwise the machine will explode with fire...

Although it is a plant, it can hunt its own prey like an animal...

The girl spent some time writing them down one by one. She identified a path. She asked the original body to check the unclear contents. She wrote down as she walked. She passed through countless traps and monsters and finally reached her destination successfully.

A magnificent city wall stood in the distance. The wall had obviously been modified, with intricate patterns carved on the wall, directly connected to the energy source of the artillery. The patrolling soldiers were wearing armor, and any suspicious person who approached would be blown to pieces.

Compared with the past, the city before us has a more civilized atmosphere. It is definitely not an imitation of insect people, but someone is truly transforming this place.

Gloria did not approach. She turned around and drove a small monster over. It ran towards the city wall, and its limbs suddenly began to twitch. The guards on the city wall ignored it, and after a few minutes, the monster lay docilely at the city gate and became a member of the City of Insects.

The girl saw more clearly that when the little monster approached the wall, it seemed to be controlled by something and stopped where it was, completely losing the will to resist. And this was not the biggest weapon, the insects lingering around the wall were the most deadly killers.

This city no longer belongs to the Queen of Insects. The people walking on the city walls have obvious mutant characteristics. No matter from which angle you look at it, this city no longer belongs to monsters, but to mutants.

It seems that the Black Mist followers have launched a new plan. I don’t know where they kidnapped so many mutants from, but it doesn’t matter. This is a bad thing, but also a good thing.

The girl exhaled lightly, and her cold breath blended into the air: "Please help me."

The soul in the lantern reacted immediately, casting a strand of kindness over the girl. Looking closely, Gloria's face seemed both real and illusory. It seemed to be constantly changing. It was very clear at first glance, but it was erased from my mind the moment I turned around.

The so-called soul is an appearance that reflects the truth. Gloria is a ghost, and she only needs to put on a disguise to easily solve the problem of identity verification.

With the help of this spirit, the girl successfully queued up to enter the city. She noticed that the gatekeepers on both sides were equipped with badges of Black Mist believers, and their eyes were looking down from the top of the city wall, casting them on her, treating everyone with the utmost care.

Fortunately, her disguise skills were qualified. When the guard learned that this was her first time here, he reminded her: "Remember to go and register your household registration information, otherwise it will be difficult to find a job in the city."

Hey, don't you think this is child labor? It's illegal in our country, and you will be imprisoned if you do this!

The girl nodded obediently and said crisply, "Thank you, brother!"

In terms of both appearance and demeanor, Gloria looked like someone else's child. Seeing that there were no adults around the girl, most people around her imagined a tragic life story.

This is not surprising. Although the status of mutants has improved to a certain extent after the Partington Incident, many places still regard them as disasters and will execute them once they are discovered.

The guard's attitude towards her softened a little, and he waved his hand to signal the girl to enter the city. Gloria walked into the city, and what she saw was a well-organized scene.

The streets were full of shops of all kinds, with signs hanging at the doors to attract customers. The mutants walking on the streets were in a hurry, nodding and chatting with familiar people. Apart from the strange appearance, it was almost no different from a normal human city.

Without humans noticing, the city had already been completely occupied by mutants, which made her feel deeply opposed.

The biggest difference between humans and monsters is that humans can think. Once a large number of humans defect to the enemy and teach the monsters to think, the newly born monsters will become the culprit for the extinction of mankind.

Whether it is fear of death or just wanting to survive, every betrayer is more or less accelerating this process. Not only do they abandon their dignity as human beings, they are also pushing their compatriots into the abyss.

The girl's eyes were firm and determined beyond her age, as if she had made a decision. Afterwards, she regained her innocent and romantic curiosity and strolled around the street.

Few people noticed Gloria, even though her body was translucent upon closer inspection. But in today's Bug City, how could she be considered a mutant without some problems?

Although the buildings in the City of Worms have changed a lot, the basic structure remains the same. What was once a barn has now become a slum. This kind of darkness exists everywhere.

Relying on her memory, the girl quickly found a safe place. She patted the doll in her arms, and the black threads spread out and spontaneously entangled the people around her.

The mutants passing by suddenly felt a little unhappy. Why did they have to work hard every day but could only live in slums while others could eat, drink and enjoy themselves? After becoming mutants, there must be class distinctions?

A man kicked the garbage on the street while cursing. The woman who saw this frowned and cursed "bad luck". The repressed emotions continued to spread. It was like an illusion and disappeared in an instant. The plague that was rooted in the soul spread with the communication of the mutants.

The black-haired girl closed her eyes, waiting for something in the tide of emotions.

......

Following Gloria's route, Oleus quickly found the dragon's camp.

He placed Fielding at the entrance to the camp, and the guards immediately discovered the uninvited guest.

Unlike the two Qingse, most of the dragon descendants sent over had seen the young dragon in its true form and recognized Oreus at a glance.

Red hair, golden eyes, honey-colored skin, these features are quite eye-catching.

Before the young man could react, a stream of scorching flames gushed out from the camp entrance. He subconsciously dodged, and several figures flapped their wings and flew out, surrounding him.

The leader was an acquaintance. Edward's uncle looked at him with a complicated expression and said in a deep voice, "What are you doing here?"

Aurelius raised his hands in surrender: "Don't get me wrong, I'm just being a good guy and sending your people back."

The young dragonborn next to him blurted out: "Bullshit. A child like him should stay in the Eastern Territory. How could he run here? It must be your conspiracy, just like Lord Nidhogg, maybe you used some conspiracy-"

"Okay, stop talking."

Uncle Edward waved his hand to stop the hostile words of the dragonborn beside him. The latter was angry and reluctantly shut his mouth. His eyes staring at Oleus seemed to be blazing with fire.

Uncle Edward turned his head and said, "Take him away. Wait until Fielding wakes up before making a decision."

As the caretaker of the young dragon, this golden dragonborn was under great pressure after Nidhogg disappeared. For this reason, he took the initiative to go deep into the black fog and became a member of the pathfinders. His status in this camp is very high.

After hearing what he said, the other dragonborn stopped talking. The dragonborn who interrupted earlier took a step forward and took Orelius away first.

The dragonborns in the camp had different attitudes when they saw Oleus. Those who recognized him showed hatred and satisfaction, and the rest asked a few questions and had the same expression after learning the whole story. The red-haired young man wanted to touch his nose, but the dragonborn next to him scolded him, "Don't move!"

Aurelius put his hand down helplessly: "I really don't mean any harm."

"It's not up to you to decide."

The Dragonborn locked him up without hesitation. Uncle Edward didn't say anything, so he used his authority to lock him up in the worst room, intending to give him a good beating.

"Go in, and don't try to do anything tricky."

The young dragonborn pushed Oleus from behind, wanting to see him fall down. But the weight of his hand did not move at all, and the red-haired young man even turned around and smiled at him, then he walked into the cell leisurely.

Let's see how long you can get away with it. When the truth comes out, the Dragonborn will definitely not let this guy go.

The red-haired young man was lying in the shabby room, not in a hurry at all. He expected to be caught, but he didn't expect that the Dragonborn would hate him so much.

It is better to bring Nidhogg back as soon as possible, otherwise he will be assassinated by these dragonborn.

The red-haired young man muttered, with a faint light in his eyes. Fielding, who was taken away on the other side, frowned, and faint red lines appeared on his forehead.
