Chapter 305: 303 Blend with the environment
Outside Har City, behind a hidden massive rock, several new visitors were hiding.
A strange silver dragon-man, a half-elf wrapped in a robe, a blue-haired human girl with an explosive figure wearing revealing clothes, and a red-haired elf dressed as a warrior.
Uh, there was also a weirdly shaped wand floating in mid-air.
Needless to say, it was Otto and his group.
At this moment, the scorching sun was overhead, and the loess under their feet and the huge rocks in front of them were being baked by high heat, becoming extremely hot. But none of the people present would care about this small problem.
Red Lotus of Fire, who had taken the form of a red-haired elf, peeked out from behind the huge rock, carefully sizing up Har City.
Har City was the territory of Metal Dragons, and she was one of the Color Dragons. Even though they had a unified goal for now, it was still highly likely they would be beaten up if they met face-to-face.
So, she asked Otto with some confusion: “Why are we here?”
Otto glanced at her irritably and said, “Of course, we’re here to watch the excitement!”
“Watch the excitement? You mean those undead?”
Red Lotus of Fire looked like she understood but not really as she gazed at Har City. Then she took off the big sword behind her and stuck it in the sand. After that, she sat her ass down on its guard, using it as a makeshift stool.
Suddenly, Otto asked with mild interest: “Hey, this greatsword of yours seems pretty good!”
“Of course,”
At this point, Red Lotus of Fire raised her head proudly and said, “This is a rare legendary weapon, you know, one of those very rare treasures. I had to put in a lot of effort to get it!”
Otto nodded: “Legendary weapon? Yes, indeed very rare and also very delicious ”
“What did you say?”
Red Lotus of Fire felt as if she had misheard something.
“Nothing ”
Otto shook his head, then looked at Red Lotus of Fire with a smile: “Friend, I saved your life earlier! As a reward, don’t you think you should show some kind of gratitude? Like the greatsword under your butt ”
“I sincerely thank you!”
Red Lotus of Fire said so without blushing or skipping a beat.
With a dark face, Otto said, “Honestly, you’re indeed a strange red dragon.”
“You are also a strange dragon-man. But I think I’d be happy to accept you and make you one of my dependents!”
Red Lotus of Fire stared at Otto, looking quite serious, “Think about it, you’ll become my confidant and the steward of the Red Lotus Legion, with a lofty status.
Although all the subordinates I brought to the Dragon Bone Wasteland died, I still have many in the Land of Red Flames.
What do you think?”
It sounded very similar to what Saru was doing under Otto.
“Ha! Ridiculous, I’m starting to regret saving you from that pile of undead dragons ”
Otto had a dark face, but soon it seemed as if he had thought of something. He looked at Red Lotus of Fire and asked, “What you said just now means you came from the Land of Red Flames?”
Red Lotus of Fire looked puzzled, “Is there any problem with that?”
“Big problem! How did you get here?”
Otto continued to inquire, “If I remember correctly, before you arrived at the Dragon Bone Wasteland, you should have crossed the Sulfur Mountains and Nolan Forest.
Of course, you can fly over the Gale Sea Area, but not all of your subordinates have this ability.”
“You’re right, I did indeed cross the Sulfur Mountains and Nolan Forest to get here.
Although it has changed a bit lately, it hasn’t had any impact on me or my followers.”
For the Red Lotus, there seemed to be no reason to conceal this information.
However, for Otto, this was undoubtedly a bit frustrating.
Both the Sulfur Mountains and the Nolan Forest were his territories, and they had been his long-established domains!
Not long ago, the Red Lotus and her followers had traveled through there to the Dragon Bone Wasteland, yet such a significant movement had happened without his knowledge.
Immediately, he felt like using the Communication Scale to question Saru about what he had been doing lately.
But he quickly realized that Saru had always been in the Dragon Bone Wasteland, so it should have been Quilboar Longfang who was responsible for the Nolan Forest and Sulfur Mountains during this time.
So, it might be due to Longfang’s lack of experience that he forgot to report this matter to him.
However, considering Longfang’s recent performance in front of him, it didn’t seem like it. Although the Quilboar might not be very ambitious in terms of external expansion, his management of internal affairs sometimes surpassed even Saru’s skills.
He wondered what kind of accidents might have occurred on the edges of the Sulfur Mountains and Nolan Forest
This was a question he would have to look into after finishing the matters at hand.
“How are you considering it?”
At this time, the Red Lotus asked again: “Under ordinary circumstances, it’s rare for you to have the opportunity to work for a powerful Red Dragon!”
“Forget it. However, I am quite interested in the Land of Red Flames.”
Otto waved his hand in refusal. If he didn’t have any more questions to ask the Red Lotus at this time, he might have already given her a righteous uppercut.
“I heard that there are quite a few demons in the Land of Red Flames?”
To Otto’s question, the Red Lotus seemed to not consider too much and directly said: “Indeed, there are many, but it’s still within an acceptable range. Besides demons, the Land of Red Flames is also a gathering place for various flame elemental creatures.
There you can see not only various fire-savvy demons but also many creatures like Fire Eagles and Wildfire Serpents.”
Perhaps sensing Otto’s interest in this matter, the Red Lotus quickly added: “There’s something you might be interested in. Not long ago, a powerful Storm Titan and Flame Demon Lord Faya had a battle.
But obviously, he was no match for the Flame Demon Lord and fled after being severely burned.”
The Storm Titan she was referring to should be Lars Lait.
If he hadn’t been seriously injured at the time, Otto might have been in some danger.
But there was no ifs in anything. It was precisely because he had devoured Lars Lait that Otto’s strength had grown exponentially.
Otto blinked and then looked at the distant horizon. The Death Lord and his forces seemed to be almost here.
On the distant horizon, he could already see a black line.
The huge stone in front of them could block the view from Har City, but it couldn’t block the undead army coming from behind.
So, under Otto’s suggestion, Sofia grabbed Moray and, without any regard for his protests, forcefully inserted him deep into the sand.
Immediately after that, Sofia used Moray as a magical energy transfer conduit, continuously channeling her magic into the sand below.
The sand, under Sofia’s control, slowly transformed into something similar to a liquid and was then shaped by her magic into a large stone-like form.
While merging with the adjacent giant stone, it also enveloped Otto and the others inside.
Although it was hollow inside, from the outside, it looked no different from an ordinary giant stone.
When Sofia quickly recited an incantation and placed a veil-like magical construct over the giant stone, it finally perfectly concealed their presence, blending seamlessly with the surrounding natural environment.
