Chapter 169 The Parents of the Copper Dragon
The sky gradually brightened, turning a grayish-blue color.
Galos and the white dragon Therese flew one after the other toward the north of the border, gradually approaching the ice field, which is the permafrost tundra.
When gazing into the distance.
With the dragons' powerful vision, they could already vaguely see the undulating outlines of the glaciers, which resembled giant snakes and appeared and disappeared.
At this moment, Garus is on her way to her lair with the white dragon.
The white dragon was very reluctant to think that his wealth, which he had accumulated over many years, was about to change hands, so he flew slowly, trying to delay as long as possible.
Galos was not in a hurry. He lowered his eyes and looked down, his gaze sweeping across the land inch by inch, personally observing the condition of the border area.
If the white dragon flew too slowly, he would not hesitate to lash it with his tail or flap it with his wings to remind her to speed up.
As time went by, the air temperature dropped lower and lower. Before even reaching the ice field, it was already below ten degrees Celsius. It was even colder at high altitudes, with fine frost between the clouds.
Upon arriving in this environment, Bailong's spirits were further invigorated.
"Therese, you've lived here for a long time."
"Besides us, how many other dragons do you know that inhabit this area?"
"Garos asked."
After a moment's thought, Bailong shook his head and said, "Unless it's for hunting to fill my stomach, I don't usually like to leave my lair and don't know much about the surrounding area."
She paused, then added, "However, I have spotted the territory of the metal dragons from afar."
Garos: "Silver Dragon?"
Silver dragons prefer cold environments, and are most likely to be found among metallic dragons in borderlands or ice fields.
Garos had never seen a silver dragon, but all the descriptions of silver dragons in the heritage praised their beauty or handsomeness, and in terms of their strength, silver dragons were comparable to red dragons, making them very powerful dragons.
Both are of the ice attribute.
The White Dragon is far inferior to the Silver Dragon.
"If it's an adult silver dragon with a life level of at least 15, I probably can't beat it, but with my speed and burst damage, escaping shouldn't be a problem."
Galos weighed the pros and cons in his mind.
"Yes, but not just silver dragons."
The white dragon said, "The male silver dragon and the female red copper dragon, along with their offspring, live together in a valley covered with red maple trees."
Galos thought for a moment and said, "Do you know their approximate age range or life level?"
Bai Long shook his head and said seriously, "There's a saying that kings don't meet, and we've never faced each other directly."
Even with Galos's excellent emotional control, he almost couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Once he calmed down, he suddenly noticed something worth considering.
"Silver Dragon and Copper Dragon."
"They could be Deborah's parents."
Garos still remembered the bronze dragon that had given him two batches of alchemical tools.
Her alchemical techniques have a strong dragon-like style, and she is most likely a dragon alchemist, especially when she used the life-saving scale magic against the Insect King to vent her anger, which caused cold-type damage.
Therefore, Garros had previously speculated that the copper dragon Deborah had a silver dragon elder.
Silver dragons are most likely to be found in the Icefield, but if you're considering building a nest in the border region, which is neither too cold nor too hot, it's a reasonable thing to do if you're looking for a copper dragon mate.
"I need to be careful not to get caught by Deborah's parents."
"Metal dragons are closely related and value bloodlines. Who knows if they might bully me or take revenge for their daughter?"
Galos felt a chill run down his spine.
He doesn't want to face the silver dragon, which is at least an adult, right now.
"Therese, where are the territories of the silver dragons and the bronze dragons?"
"In this direction, it's about 500 kilometers away."
The white dragon pointed in a certain direction to the east, giving a general location.
As the saying goes, "Kings don't meet, so I'll refrain from going there for now," the young dragon thought to himself.
After flying for a while longer.
Galos arrived at a place extremely close to the ice field, or rather, at the edge of the ice field, and then stopped above a high mountain covered with frost and permafrost.
The air temperature here is already below zero, and the sunlight seems to have no warmth at all.
The white vapor from his breath was visible to the naked eye, and the cold air fell on Galos from all directions, making him feel somewhat uncomfortable.
"It's right here."
Don't you have any family or relatives?
Galos did not see any creatures gathered here.
“I ate some when I was hungry before, and the rest escaped while I was in Dragon Sleep.”
Bai Long said.
She was a pure white dragon, not very good at management, and treated her followers as reserves. Her overly cruel oppression and bullying caused all her followers to run away.
Immediately, the white dragon landed hesitantly, pretended to search for a while, and then led Galos into her dragon nest.
This is a very ordinary dragon's nest, with a primitive cave structure.
The ground and walls were covered with a thick layer of hard ice crystals. Galos felt a little slippery when he walked on it, and his steps were slightly sluggish. The white dragon, on the other hand, walked as if on flat ground, and his movements were as light as a big cat. He was not affected at all.
The aura of an adult dragon is intense.
The place where people live year-round will gradually be affected and change.
These ice crystals were formed under the influence of the white dragon's aura; they are not ordinary ice.
Powerful dragons like the Ancient Dragons not only alter the landscape of their habitats, but also affect the elemental composition of their environments. For example, the territory of the Ancient Red Dragon can even contain vortexes that connect to the fire elemental plane, allowing it to recruit fire elemental beings to serve it.
They took Galos one step at a time, leading him to the deepest part of the lair.
Bai Long looked distressed, then smashed the wall that seemed to have reached its end, revealing the treasure room hidden behind it.
Unlike the white dragon who I feel sorry for.
Galos's eyes lit up as he was immediately dazzled by the gleaming white treasure.
He took a deep breath, gradually suppressing his instinctive greed for treasure, and praised, "Therese, I never expected you to be so wealthy, with so much savings. My opinion of you has changed."
Bai Long grinned, revealing an unnatural, stiff smile.
Before Garros, piles of ice diamonds, white crystals, and other gems gleamed, the white dragon's favorite collectibles, illuminating the dim cave.
Magic gems and gold and silver coins were piled up like a small mountain.
This surprised Galos somewhat; he hadn't expected the White Dragon's wealth to be so astonishing, even surpassing his own.
However, everything that follows is his.
Immediately afterwards.
Galos, a smile on his face, stepped forward and reached out his claws to scratch.
With a whoosh, Hong Tielong's smile came to an abrupt end.
The truth revealed after the surface treasures slipped away caused the air to freeze.
The 'treasure' piled up at the bottom was nothing more than some relatively shiny ordinary minerals. Several skeletons of frozen rhinoceroses were carefully arranged in a guarding posture, and at the very bottom was even a polished skull of a dire wolf.
The wealth that White Dragon Therese possessed, like a small mountain, was merely superficial.
Pretending to be rich when you don't have the money means you're even fooling yourself.
"Is this all you've accumulated over nearly two hundred years? Even a newly independent young dragon wouldn't use animal bones to make up the numbers."
"Garos said."
"Do you think you're richer than me? This is already pretty good!"
Bai Long raised his head and said firmly.
She didn’t think Galos was richer than herself until a flash of azure light almost blinded her.
Faced with the White Dragon's questioning, Garus remained silent, responding with action.
He shook his neck, revealing the Tianbo Gem hidden inside the inner layer of his scales.
The brilliance of the Heavenly Jewel was so beautiful and dazzling that the White Dragon felt as if he were being bitten by countless ants the moment he saw it, his eyes filled with longing, wishing he could stuff his eyes into Garus's scales to see it.
Bai Long's pupils dilated to their limit, almost unfocused, as he leaned closer, mesmerized.
Immediately afterwards, Galos suddenly closed its scales, and the brilliance of the gem disappeared like a candle flame being extinguished.
"Ah, let me see, please let me see it again."
The white dragon, with a fawning smile, wagged its tail and pleaded.
"Work hard for me, and I promise you'll have a share of these gems someday."
Galos was making empty promises to the white dragon.
At the same time, with a sweep of his huge and agile dragon wings, he mercilessly swept away all of the white dragon's treasures, leaving only the worthless items behind.
