Game of Thrones: The Red Dragon Lord.

Chapter 58 Dangerous Journey

There were some unknown objects floating on the water, sometimes rising and falling with the waves. Occasionally, you could see some incomplete bones, which reminded people of the tragedy that had happened here. Gavin knew that there were countless dangers hidden in this ruin, and he had to be extremely careful.

The sound of rowing the boat was particularly clear in the silence. Every time the oars hit the water, it seemed to break an invisible barrier. Gavin stood at the bow, carefully observing his surroundings. The Blood Dragon Guards behind him were also on guard against the water, ready to meet the upcoming unknown challenge.

As the boat gradually approached the shore, Gavin could feel an evil breath coming towards him, and the corrosive energy became stronger.

The land on the shore exuded a foul smell, and the stones under their feet seemed full of malice. When they stepped onto the shore, the ground under their feet seemed to tremble slightly, as if resisting their arrival.

After successfully landing, the Blood Dragon Guards immediately guarded the surroundings. Five small boats could not transport all the horses and Blood Dragon Guards at once. Therefore, Gavin had to rely on those small boats to transport them repeatedly.

With every trip back and forth, Gavin became more and more anxious. He knew that time was running out, and the longer he stayed in this mysterious and dangerous place, the greater the unknown risk.

After some difficult twists and turns, the boat finally transported all the horses and Blood Dragon Guards.

After determining the direction to move forward, they all jumped on their horses and galloped towards the target at full speed.

The sound of horse hooves echoed rapidly in the empty wilderness, raising clouds of dust.

However, during this gallop, the monster encountered before suddenly rushed out from the corrupt jungle on the roadside.

It came with great force and speed. A junior Blood Dragon Guard who was leading the way in front of it had no time to react before he was torn to pieces by the monster along with his horse. The bloody scene was horrifying.

Gavin quickly took out a longbow from his horse, and as he pulled the bow, a flaming arrow condensed, all in one smooth motion.

The flaming arrow whizzed out and hit the monster accurately. The monster screamed, one of its front claws was blown off, its body was charred and it was seriously injured. The other Blood Dragon Guards immediately rushed up and successfully killed the monster with a few hacks.

Gavin didn't dare to stop for a moment and immediately continued on his way.

Half a day later, the ruins of a small town appeared in front of them. Gavin pulled the reins, stopped the horse and planned to explore and take a look.

The town is in a dilapidated state, with collapsed houses and mottled walls. Only broken walls and ruins remain of the once tall buildings. The unique carved decorations of Valyria have become blurred under the erosion of time and disasters. The streets are paved with gravel and rubble, as if telling the story of the former prosperity and the present desolation.

Although some of the pillars of the buildings were still standing, they were already shaky and looked like they would collapse in the next second. The doors and windows were broken, staring blankly at the desolate place. The wind shuttled through the ruins, making a whimpering sound, as if it was the wailing of this town.

Several Blood Dragon Guards led the way, and Gavin walked into the town cautiously, his heart full of vigilance. This place might have been prosperous and bustling in the past, but now it was dead silent.

From time to time, you can see some black dilapidated buildings on the road, with a strong Valyrian style that shows the former glory. The stones of those buildings have been eroded by the years and look dilapidated. Some of them collapse at the slightest touch. In the ruins of houses and streets, you can find many dead bones, which are obviously the Valyrians who failed to escape successfully at that time.

At this moment, the monster suddenly rushed out of a room, and it attacked a Blood Dragon Guard who was very close to it at lightning speed. The Blood Dragon Guard reacted very quickly, and stabbed with a sword, directly piercing the monster's body.

However, the monster hanging on the sword seemed to have no sense of pain and attacked frantically, instantly tearing a huge wound on the chest of the Blood Dragon Guard. Then, before other Blood Dragon Guards could come to rescue, the monster tore the Blood Dragon Guard in half. Although the monster had a sword stuck in its chest and was seriously injured, it still pounced on Gavin. A senior Blood Dragon Guard quickly stepped forward and chopped it into pieces, ending the battle.

But there were constant roars coming from nearby, and it was obvious that the battle just now had alarmed many monsters.

Seeing this, Gavin quickly led the team away, but he was still a step too late. Two monsters soon appeared in front of him, and the entire team was forced to stop and fight them.

The battle broke out in an instant, with blood and fighting filling every corner.

Gavin's sword burst into flames as he attacked the monster swiftly, chopping it into pieces with a few strikes.

However, as the battle continued, new monsters continued to appear.

The Blood Dragon Guards gradually lost the upper hand, and three of them were torn to pieces in a short time.

Seeing more and more monsters, Gavin immediately left ten Blood Dragon Guards to attract the monsters and guard the rear, and led the remaining Blood Dragon Guards to quickly withdraw from the battle and flee.

Gavin, who had successfully escaped, was filled with doubts and thoughts: What kind of creature is this? Why is it so ferocious and not afraid of pain? What secrets are hidden in this relic of Valyria?
He looked at the ruins around him, and gradually a trace of fear of the unknown emerged in his heart. But Gavin knew clearly that he must not retreat at this moment, and must hurry up and continue to move forward into the depths of the ruins.

Gavin hurried on his way without stopping. Even if he occasionally encountered some ruins, he did not go in to explore. However, there were still constant attacks along the way. Similar monsters kept rushing in madly and attacking Gavin and his party.

After going through numerous hardships and dangers, Gavin finally arrived at the secret dragon cave recorded by Belleris.

At this point, a total of 30 Blood Dragon Guards had been lost along the way. Fortunately, the remaining few senior Blood Dragon Guards were not harmed.

Gavin looked at the ruins in front of him, a magnificent black temple built at the bottom of the volcano. It was closely connected to the mountain, as if it had grown naturally from the rocks of the volcano.

The building is extremely large, with towering stone pillars stubbornly supporting the heavy dome. Although part of it has collapsed, one can still feel its former grandeur.

The exterior walls of the building are covered with traces of erosion over the years. The black rock surface is weathered into pits and holes, and strange mosses and vines grow in some places.

The two huge stone doors at the entrance have been broken and half-hidden on the ground, as if telling the sad story of the past glory and present desolation.

According to the ancestor's diary, this building was a temple carefully built by the Valyrians to worship the gods they believed in.

The Belleris family secretly built a passage connecting to the interior of the volcano underground behind the temple, and cleverly used the huge empty space inside the volcano to carefully build the entire dragon's lair.
