Ice and Fire: Reign of the Dragon

The rainforest of Sothoryos is denser than expected, and it gives people an indescribable feeling.

It is hot and humid, but everyone in the team is dressed tightly, even Beile, who is wrapped in thick clothes, and even his eyes are covered with a special cloth. The two dragons slowly glide above the tall trees, and the tentacles of the fire fall down and gently brush the gaps between the trees. It is almost visible to the naked eye that when the tentacles brush the trees, some mottled colors immediately twist and flee from the place where they were before.

It is exactly as recorded.

Dan took a deep step and a shallow step with an old man to slowly explore the road ahead.

There is something wrong with the rainforest of Sothoryos, even the air.

The plants and animals here are obviously growing abnormally. Everyone is very cautious.

Except Beile.

Beile's emotions are actually quite simple-curiosity. He looked at everything strange in front of him with curiosity. Strange animals trembling when the dragon flew by, flowers and mushrooms that he had never seen before, vines hanging from ancient trees.

He was curious about everything.

He even planned to pull off the thick cloth covering his face. After all, it was uncomfortable to see nothing clearly in the white mist.

Then his hand was held down: "Your Highness, if you don't want to die, don't pick it."

The person who spoke was an old soldier.

Beile shivered and nodded in fear, not because of the word "death", but because of this old soldier.

He felt that this old soldier had an unapproachable and frightening aura.

"He once followed my father to the ruins of Valyria." Dan's voice came over: "There are not many people who have been to the Sea of ​​Smoke back then. He is one of them. Even my father has to call him uncle."

Beile looked at the old soldier in front of him in shock.

The old soldier nodded helplessly. If it weren't for protecting Dan and giving him some advice on going deep into the unknown, he would have lived out his life in his own manor.

It seemed to be the magic of Longzel in the past, and it seemed to be the influence of the ruins of Valyria. The old soldier had a body that did not belong to his age, and was so agile that even Beile could not catch up with the old man if he walked slowly.

"Before departure, His Royal Highness cast a spell on these clothes." The old soldier explained calmly.

"Beile, you must have learned the story of Nymeria." Dan nodded to the guard next to him. The guard waved his hand and took two people into the woods. After a while, the three people stood in front of Beile with a water pitcher.

The two giant dragons in the sky were circling. As if they felt the breath of the giant dragon, the clear water in the water pitcher suddenly rippled, as if something invisible was struggling violently in the water pitcher.

It seemed that countless insects that were invisible to the naked eye were rolling in the water, trying to escape, but they could not escape.

"Queen Nymeria once led her people to open up Sothoryos, from Yimenta to Yilin. Her people tried to live on this ancient land with the Yi River as their mother river." Beile suppressed his discomfort and anxiety. Recalling what he had learned, "But she failed. The climate of Sothoryos is not suitable for the Rhoyna people to live in."

Beile suddenly shuddered and complained, "It is not suitable for the Valyrians to live in either."

"Be content." Dan patted his thick clothes with armor plates inlaid on his body, and the material was unknown: "If my father didn't cast blood magic for this set of clothes, we would have to go into the rain forest naked, enduring the heat and humidity."

"Walking here always makes me feel like I'm back in the ruins of Valyria." The old soldier sighed and said, "I can feel that when I breathe, it seems that something wants to get into my nose, but your highness's magic blocks them outside the veil. I can even feel their struggle and anger."

Beile hurriedly covered his mouth and nose. After listening to the old soldier, his mouth and nose suddenly itched, as if something had crawled into his mouth and nose. Seeing that the people around him didn't react, Baelor put down his hand and continued.

"It is said that her people were infected with countless unnamed plagues in a short period of time. The pirates of the Basilisk Islands looted the villages they left on the coast, the natives of Sothoryos attacked their settlements, and the people of Yilin disappeared overnight. The queen was forced to leave Sothoryos."

"It seems that you have not skipped classes." Dan was very satisfied. "It's my good nephew."

He broke the water jar without hesitation. "The fresh water of Sothoryos, whether it is the legend of Queen Nymeria or the records of Sir Eustace Hightower, cannot be drunk directly. Baelor, remember, you can only eat the food we hand you, don't touch anything unfamiliar." He pointed to the sky: "With the fire and Cendros, most of the strange things will not approach us."

His eyes immediately turned into worry.

"But there is also a small part that I am worried about."

He was silent.

Everyone knew what Dan was worried about.

He was worried that there were some more weird, or unknown things that even dragons could not resist.

In a place that the group could not see.

A head cautiously appeared. The face could not be seen clearly, but it could be roughly determined from the outline that it was a human.

"Outsider."

It actually made a sound that sounded like a language.

"Terrible, weapons, it seems, a deal."

It suddenly seemed to have discovered something, and a stone spear stabbed out like lightning. With a scream, a monkey with long red mane fell from the tree with a clang.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

The figure that looked like a human slowly stood up from its hiding place. It looked around the monkey excitedly, checked the monkey, carried the monkey, and ran excitedly in the direction of Dan and his party.

"Your Highness, can the veil be taken off for a while?" A guard asked. Wearing a veil for a long time is indeed a torture for them. Even Dan and Beile have thought about taking off the veil.

But for safety, they still have to wear it.

"No." Dan shook his head: "We don't know where the air in Sothoros is safe. You forgot the information that Captain Misanben told us before we set off. Even those coastal towns in the north generally do not live beyond the age of 30 and will die from various strange diseases."

He looked at the complaining soldier: "Who do you think is the culprit?"

The soldier shut up.

At this moment, the fire in the sky made a creepy cry, and everyone hurriedly covered their ears.

The slender tentacles swept through the jungle and plunged into the river. In the blink of an eye, the river water exploded, and a huge, scaly monster also roared.

But it was meaningless.

The tentacles of the fire wrapped around the monster's body like a chicken and pulled it directly out of the river.

It was a strange fish as big as a boat, with teeth in its mouth.

The strange fish struggled, but it was greeted by a blazing gray dragon flame. The dragon flame roasted the strange fish carefully, and the surging flames also swept across the smooth tentacles.

Faintly, Beile seemed to hear bursts of sharp cries from the tentacles.

Dan nodded, and the bachelor in the team quickly matched this fish to the existing data.

At this moment, a figure carrying a monkey emerged from the dense forest. It looked at the fire in the sky with some awe, and respectfully placed the monkey in front of the group of people.

"Trade, food."

This strange man with brown and white patterns on his thick skin, long black hair, thick bones, strong muscles, long arms, a sloping forehead, huge square teeth, and a heavy jaw actually spoke.

It actually spoke Valyrian with a strange accent.
