Chapter 1187 – 1187. Statues

The three of them squeezed through the narrow trail just to find another statue of a smaller dragon. The last one had been the same as the first but now this one was different. It had curvier characteristics and flowing horns. "Welcome my brothers and sisters. May you fly higher than the sun to strike down those beneath you." Walker read out loud what was written beneath. 

"So this is a wind elemental dragon. I was going to guess from the shape of the horns and the extended body. But now it makes sense. I wonder who it was that they have a statue." it was odd that there were not any other details, Walker knew that they could learn more when they were at the royal dragon court. But until then they were left in the dark. 

"We have not seen a wind elemental dragon yet so we are already learning more than we did before. I think there will be dragon statute of all elemental dragons. We do know that the statues show off important figures in draconic history. If they have names or quotes we can remember them." Walker had already memorized this one and the previous. But he was sure that they would learn more and more. The statues seemed to be getting more frequent as well since he could already see a much larger statue ahead. 

"This one has to be an earth elemental dragon." Su knew this from the jagged spines on the back and the larger shape of the statue. But what showed off the true earth elemental affinity was the shovel like claws that could easily carve through the earth. Even more, the earth spirit came out of her earth dwelling shield to inspect the statue since it could feel the mana purity used to form the statue from earth whereas the other statues were not made in such a way. 

"Feel the ground move with your soul and become one with it." Su read the simple quote but knew that it had to be related to the earth mana purity that the dragon must have reached. To get to a point that they would feel at one with the very ground beneath them would be more than a large accomplishment. It would be the height of the royal dragon\'s goals to purify their mana and affinity. 

"I feel like the earth dragons may be some of the largest we encounter now that I see this statue. It\'s even crazier knowing that the statues are smaller than the real life dragons." It was a matter of respect when it came to the realization that the dragons were larger than what they saw now. Walker, Su, and Midnight did not have the ability to match them in size. They didn\'t have much power to match them in general…yet. They still had time to grow and time to become more powerful. 

The sharp growl from Midnight was enough to get Su in front with her shields. The earth spirit moved back toward them ready for a fight. "There\'s a steel armor armadillo. It seems like it\'s already hiding in a ball though." Walker stopped Midnight from moving around to get ready and attack. The armadillo had sensed their mana and knew that it was not any match for dragons. It didn\'t matter that the three might not have been strong enough to battle it. It just knew that it smelled dragons and the best chance for survival was to curl up and hope. 

"We can pass right by it then. No need to fight it if we don\'t have to. I think it will also do well to keep anything following our scent from behind at bay." the fact that they had not had any monster come from behind was not forgotten. Su knew that many would pick up the foreign scent and come looking for them. 

"Let\'s hurry past then." Walker moved forward with Su. Midnight held her eyes on the armadillo right before she was about to leave. She wanted to ensure that it didn\'t get any wise ideas.

Just as they left the area, the armored armadillo slowly uncurled and rushed in the opposite direction. It had learned at a young age that it should avoid dragons and anything similar. They were strong enough to crush its defenses without even trying. But even worse, some could swallow it whole and still be hungry afterward. This was how it survived and how it would live on for many years. Or at least how it would have. 

It came face to face with something not unlike it had just run from. But it was blinded by hate for what it smelled. The armadillo had just managed to get in the way of this monster\'s hunt. What it had chased would not get away from it. It hated the scent of dragon and the roar it heard even more. It was fair to say, the armadillo did not survive for long.
