A Dragon against the Whole World-Chapter 177 - 168: The Red Copper Dragon’s Parents
The sky gradually lightened, showing a gray-blue hue.
Galos and White Dragon Trish flew one in front of the other towards the north of the Border Area, gradually approaching the Icefield, also known as the Eternal Frost Tundra. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
When looking far into the distance.
With the powerful vision of the Dragon Race, they could vaguely see the contours like huge snakes, the glaciers appearing and disappearing.
At this moment, Galos was heading to her lair with the White Dragon.
White Dragon, thinking about her wealth accumulated over many years about to change hands, was very reluctant, so her flight speed was slow, dragging as long as she could.
Galos was not in a hurry either, looking down with drooping eyes, scanning the land inch by inch, personally observing the situation of the Border Area.
If the White Dragon flew too slowly, he would unapologetically use his tail or Dragon Wings to tap or swipe, reminding her to speed up.
As time passed, the temperature in the air got lower and lower; even before reaching the Icefield, it was below ten degrees, and it was even colder at high altitude, with tiny frost between the clouds.
In such an environment, the White Dragon became more invigorated.
"Trish, you’ve lived here for a long time."
"Besides us, do you know how many Dragons reside here?"
Galos asked.
The White Dragon thought for a moment, shook her head, and said, "Unless it’s to hunt and fill my stomach, I don’t usually like to leave my lair, so I don’t know much about the surroundings."
She paused and added, "But I have seen the territory of the Metal Dragon from afar."
Galos: "Silver Dragon?"
Silver Dragons like cold environments; among the Metal Dragons in the Border Area or Icefield, Silver Dragons are most likely.
Galos had never met a Silver Dragon, but the descriptions in his inheritance all praised their beauty or handsomeness, and in terms of strength, Silver Dragons could compare to Red Dragons, being very powerful Dragons.
The same ice attribute.
The White Dragon is far inferior to the Silver Dragon.
"If it’s an adult Silver Dragon, the life level is at least 15; I probably can’t beat it, but with my speed and burst, escaping is definitely not a problem."
Galos weighed in his mind.
"Yes, but it’s not just Silver Dragons."
The White Dragon said, "A male Silver Dragon and a female Red Copper Dragon, along with their offspring, reside together in a valley with red maples."
Galos thought for a moment and said, "Do you know their approximate age or life level?"
The White Dragon shook her head and said seriously, "There’s a saying, ’King does not see King,’ we have never faced each other."
Even with Galos’s emotional management, he almost couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
After calming down his emotions, he suddenly noticed a point worth considering.
"Silver Dragon and Red Copper Dragon."
"They might be Deborah’s parents."
Galos remembered the Red Copper Dragon that sent him two waves of alchemy tools.
Her alchemy tools had a strong Dragon Race style, most likely from a Dragon Race Alchemist, especially when she vented her anger on the Insect King using the Life-Saving Magic Scale, unleashing cold damage.
So Galos had previously guessed that the Red Copper Dragon Deborah had a Silver Dragon elder.
The probability of a Silver Dragon in the Icefield is greatest, but for the Red Copper Dragon companion, building a nest in the Border Area where it’s not too cold and not too hot is very reasonable.
"I must be careful not to be seen by Deborah’s parents."
"Metal Dragons have close relationships and value bloodlines; who knows if they might use force to avenge their daughter."
Galos felt a tightness in his heart.
He did not want to face a Silver Dragon, at least not an adult one, at the moment.
"Trish, where is the territory of the Silver and Red Copper Dragons?"
"In that direction, about 500 kilometers away."
The White Dragon pointed east, giving a general location.
As the saying goes, ’King does not see King,’ I’ll stay away from this area for now—the young Dragon thought to himself.
After flying for a while longer.
Galos arrived extremely close to the Icefield, or rather, at the edge of the Icefield, then stopped above a high mountain covered in frost and permafrost.
The air temperature here was below zero, and the sunlight seemed to have no warmth.
The visible white breath while breathing, the cold air falling from all directions on Galos, made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.
"Here we are."
"Do you not have followers?"
Galos did not see any creatures gathered here.
"I used to have a few; I ate some when I was hungry, and the rest ran away while I was in Dragon Sleep."
White Dragon said.
She was a very pure White Dragon, not knowing much about management, treating followers as a backup food source, oppressing and bullying too harshly, leading to the escape of all followers.
Soon, the White Dragon hesitantly landed and, after pretending to search for a while, led Galos into her Dragon’s Nest here.
This was 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, and Galos felt slippery while walking, his steps slightly sluggish, while the White Dragon moved as lightly as a large cat, unaffected.
The aura of an adult Dragon was strong.
Places where one lives for many years gradually undergo changes due to the influence of the aura.
These ice crystals were all formed under the influence of the White Dragon’s aura, not ordinary ice.
A powerful Dragon like the Ancient Dragon affects not only the geographical environment of its habitat but also the elemental composition; for example, in an Ancient Red Dragon’s territory, even vortices connecting to the Fire Elemental Plane might appear, capable of recruiting Fire Elemental Life to serve it.
Step by step, Galos was led to the deepest part of the lair.
The White Dragon showed a pained expression, then broke through what seemed to be the end of the wall, revealing the hidden treasure room behind it.
Unlike the distressed White Dragon.
Galos’s eyes lit up, dazzled by the glittering treasures.
He took a deep breath, gradually suppressing his instinctual greed for the treasures, and praised, "Trish, I didn’t expect you to be so wealthy, with so much savings. My view of you has changed."
The White Dragon smiled stiffly.
In front of Galos, the ice diamonds and white crystals, the gems that the White Dragon loved to collect, gleamed, lighting up the dim cave.
Magic Gemstones and Gold Coins and Silver Coins were piled up like small mountains.
This was somewhat unexpected for Galos; he didn’t expect the White Dragon’s wealth to be so astonishing, even surpassing his.
However, all this would soon be his.
Immediately after.
Galos beamed with a smile, stepped forward, and reached out with his claws.
Clatter, the Red Iron Dragon’s smile came to an abrupt halt.
The truth revealed when the surface treasures slid off made the air freeze.
The ’treasures’ piled below were merely some relatively crystalline ordinary ores, a few well-placed Frozen Rhino bones in a guarding position, and at the bottom, even polished Ice Wolf skulls.
White Dragon Trish’s mountain-like wealth was just a facade.
Pretending to be wealthy, even deceiving herself.
"Is this your accumulation of nearly two hundred years? Even a newly independent young Dragon wouldn’t use beast bones to fill in."
Galos said.
"Could you be wealthier than me? This is already pretty good!"
The White Dragon lifted her head, saying confidently.
She didn’t think Galos was wealthier until a celeste blue light nearly blinded her eyes.
Faced with the White Dragon’s suspicion, Galos said nothing, responding with action.
He shook his neck, revealing the Celestial Gemstone hidden within his Scale Armor inner layer.
The light of the Celestial Gemstone was so exquisite and brilliant, just a glance made the White Dragon feel as if her whole body was being gnawed by countless ants, eyes filled with yearning, wishing she could wedge her eyes into Galos’s scales for a closer look.
The White Dragon’s pupils expanded to the limit, nearly dilated, and she moved in obsessively.
Then, Galos suddenly closed his scales, the gem’s brilliance vanishing like a extinguished candle.
"Ah, let me see, please let me take another look."
The White Dragon pleaded with a flattering smile, wagging her tail.
"Work well for me, and I promise, these gems will include a portion for you in the future."
Galos dangled the carrot in front of the White Dragon.
Meanwhile, his huge and agile Dragon Wings swept, taking away all of the White Dragon’s treasures without ceremony, leaving only those worthless items.
