Pale Emblem

Chapter 168 Chimera and Wyvern

Since the valley wetland is located on the east side of the Godore Mountains and the sun has already set on the west side of the mountains, the lighting in the entire wetland is very poor. In addition, the dense reeds block the view. When the creatures that look like dragons fly over everyone's heads, no one can really see their full appearance.

Even Victor, who had the sharpest vision, could only see a rough outline.

There were three flying dragons, one large and two small. The largest one was about 20 meters long from head to tail, and the other two were only half its size. They had ferocious horns and scales all over their bodies that reflected a cold metallic light. Their huge wings were like fully drawn sails, and the air pressure from flapping them could break the dry reeds on the ground.

The flying dragon was flying very fast. In the blink of an eye, it passed over the heads of Victor and his group and flew towards the northeast.

The heart-pounding power quickly faded as the flying dragon flew away. The reed marsh looked like it had been plowed, revealing a new animal path.

Victor stood up blankly, his eyes following the figure of the three-headed flying dragon, and his heart was shocked beyond words.

This is the kingdom of the Dragon King Filumaat, also known as the Kingdom of Dragons. All intelligent species in the kingdom are vassals of Filumaat. However, the Dragon King Filumaat sleeps for a few years at the shortest and several decades at the longest. Most half-elves have never seen the true appearance of the Dragon King or other dragons in their entire lives.

In the Disa League, dragons have always been legendary creatures.

Now the legend was flying over his head and was about to go away in a flash. Victor was shocked and of course regretted that he didn't see it more clearly just now.

However, Victor immediately saw the three black shadows suddenly dive down, and a roar similar to that of a cow came from the reeds two kilometers away, which was shrill and terrifying. Then the three flying dragons took off again, and their huge claws under their abdomens grabbed the prey. After a while, the herd of animals in the reeds waited for the flying dragons to fly away with their prey, and then they fled in all directions like a pot of boiling water.

Victor and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. The three flying dragons came here to hunt prey, and they might have escaped because of their small size.

This time, the three-headed flying dragon seemed to have really flown away, but no one knew if there was any danger nearby.

Victor thought about it and instantly switched from the water element affinity state to the wind element affinity state. While gaining extraordinary perception, his emerald green pupils turned into ice blue. His curiosity suddenly became like wild weeds that grew wildly and he could not suppress it.

"Let's go over and take a look!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Victor had already run far away. What else could the others do but to chase him. Fortunately, the gladiator slave Kent did not forget about Yog, and he dragged the barbarian boy behind him and ran after him.

Victor and his followers reached the dragon's hunting site in just five minutes after a distance of nearly three kilometers. The beasts had originally planned to rest for the night, but now they had scattered and fled. However, there were still more than a dozen large and small beasts lying dead in the messy open space.

They look like both pigs and rhinos, with plump bodies, smooth skin and little hair. They should be semi-aquatic herbivores, and their weight when adults is probably no less than 3000 pounds.

Giant herbivores that live in groups have thick skin and strong strength, and they have few natural enemies. Ordinary predatory beasts really have no way to deal with them.

However, facing the hunting of the three-headed flying dragon, the entire group of giant beasts had no ability to resist. Just one attack from the opponent had disastrous consequences for them. Not only was the fattest adult beast caught in the sky, but more than a dozen sub-adult individuals were also affected and died. It can be seen that the attack power of the three-headed flying dragon is so strong that it is like a natural disaster.

"It's a herd of water rhinos. I've seen their illustrated books in the college library before." Jessica said confidently after looking around.

Then, she carefully examined several water rhinoceros corpses. "They were all young water rhinoceroses, and there were no wounds on their bodies. They might have been killed by Long Wei."

Victor shook his head regretfully and said, "We were originally guarding against tigers, but a giant dragon came instead. Three of them flew over together... What a pity, what a pity. I didn't see their appearance clearly just now. But as for the dragon's might..."

He paused for a moment, and suddenly remembered that the alchemical snake tentacles could weaken mental damage, and the vampire banshee who stayed in Echo Town also took on some of the mental damage for him, so the three-headed flying dragon only made him feel a little palpitation, but other than that he didn't feel particularly uncomfortable.

It may not be the case for other people, but at least the corpse of the water rhinoceros cub can prove that the flying dragon's dragon power has great lethality and can directly kill a life with a weak will.

Of course, the fact that the three-headed flying dragon just ignored them and had no hostility towards them was also a factor that caused Victor to misunderstand the actual effect of Dragon Power.

Victor looked around and found several dead crickets in the haystack. He picked them up and examined them in his hands, mumbling, "They really have the power of a dragon. So, are those three flying monsters real dragons?"

Among the followers, the only ones who could answer this question were the Ranger sisters from the academy. Ruth and Jessica were both unsure of the true identity of the three-headed dragon. They exchanged glances and shook their heads at the same time. Ruth frowned and asked, "Did anyone see clearly whether the three-headed dragon had two legs or four legs?"

Victor immediately said: "I saw this... They only have two strong hind legs and no forelimbs."

After listening to this, Ruth smiled and nodded, saying, "That's right... In the Kingdom of Dragons, only the Dragon King Filumat can be called a giant dragon. He has dragon horns, dragon wings, dragon tails, and limbs. The dragonborn raised by Filumat only have dragon wings and a pair of strong hind limbs. When they crawl on the ground, they are like oversized bats. They are powerful beasts called wyverns."

Victor thought about it for a moment, nodded, then shook his head, and said, "The two smaller flying dragons do have only hind legs and wings, but the largest flying dragon is different. It seems to have a pair of dragon horns and a thick long tail behind it."

"It's a Chimera, it must be a Chimera!"

Jessica said excitedly, "I suspected it before. According to the description in the book, the size of the wyvern shouldn't be that big... Master is amazing. He actually saw a real chimera."

"Chimera? What is that?" Victor asked in confusion. He didn't understand how he became so powerful.

Ruth explained, "It can be understood that the oversized flying dragon is called a chimera... In fact, the chimera evolved from the flying dragon. The evolution process is similar to the promotion of a professional to a venerable. The essence of life changes, and all aspects of ability are significantly improved."

"For example, the wyverns can spit out a burning, highly toxic and corrosive liquid that can instantly kill three or five heavily armored shield guards. The range of the spit is 50 meters. As for the chimeras, in addition to the corrosive spit of the wyverns, they can also spit out terrible liquid flames, and the range of both spitting methods is over 120 meters."

"Just one Chimaera can defeat any legion in the alliance... They will fly high in the sky and spit venom and fire at the ground, and the range is more than a hundred meters. It is almost impossible for the legion's ballista to hit a Chimaera, and even if it hits it, it will have no effect. The Chimaera's dragon scale defense is very strong, and there is a layer of magical force field protection on the surface. Even if the city defense ballista can hit it, the giant arrow will slide away along the dragon scale force field."

Jessica said, "Chimera also has Dragon Might, which is used to suppress and weaken the enemy; Dragon Rage, which comprehensively improves various abilities; and Dragon Regeneration, which can heal ordinary wounds quickly... Of course, their own strength is also very strong. Well, we just saw it."

Chimera had just caught a water rhino weighing more than a ton and carried it away effortlessly. Victor had witnessed the hunting process of Chimera and Wyvern with his own eyes, and of course he understood how powerful they were.

"Yes, Chimera is the most valued servant of Dragon King Firumaat. It is said that there are only nine of them in total." Ruth said, "They are still beasts, but much smarter than wyverns. Moreover, each Chimera has its own name, which is given by the Dragon King. Chimera will patrol the Dragon King's kingdom and fight against some powerful invaders. For example, the war more than forty years ago..."

More than 40 years ago, a powerful Centaur Khanate invaded the Blackfyre Tribe's territory from the southeast of Dragon Country. The orcs and barbarians were unable to resist and were beaten by the fierce Centaur bandits. They suffered heavy casualties and lost a large area of ​​territory. In the end, it was three Chimeras leading more than ten Wyverns to help the Blackfyre Tribe turn the tide of the war and win. The Centaur Khan was first severely injured by the Chimeras, and then was chased by the Wolf Riders led by the Blackfyre Chieftain, and died on the way of retreat.

It is said that the Centaur Khan's purpose of attacking the Blackfyre Tribe was actually to seize the Throne of Mother Earth.

Any powerful creature that attempts to invade the Earth Mother's Throne will be met with the hostility and wrath of the Dragon King Firumat. When the Elf Kingdom, the Disa Alliance, and the Blackfire Tribe are unable to resist the invaders, the Dragon King will send Chimera to eliminate the invading enemies.

The appearance of Chimera often means that a powerful enemy has invaded the Dragon Kingdom, and it is an enemy that can attract Filumaat's attention!

"What kind of monster could there be in a place like this that would require the Dragon King to send out the Chimera?"

Ruth and Jessica were very confused. They first denied that there were large groups of enemies like centaurs, because this was the border between the Disa Alliance and the Blackfire Tribe, and it belonged to the hinterland of the Dragon Kingdom. If there was a large-scale foreign invasion, the news would have been passed on first. Moreover, a Chimera with two wyverns would not have much effect on a large group of enemies. They could not spit venom and fire infinitely.

Victor was amazed and wanted to hear more about the Dragon King and Chimera. At this time, the gladiator slave Kent had already arrived at the scene with Yog.

The ranger sisters stopped talking immediately, so as to avoid Yog seeing that Victor was the soul of the team.

After all, the Chimera and the Wyvern flew away. No matter why they came here, it would not have any impact on Victor and his group for the time being.

This unexpected encounter was truly magical, and although there were mysteries left unsolved, there was no point in staying here any longer.

Ruth winked at the alchemist Herman, the nominal leader of the adventure group, coughed and said, "Time is limited, let's continue on our journey."

Victor was interrupted and felt a little annoyed, but then he thought that after everyone returned the troublemaker Yog to Ingri, he would have enough time for the ranger sisters to continue telling the rumors about the Dragon King Filumaat.
