Chapter 58 Dangerous Journey

Some unknown objects floated on the water, sometimes rising and falling with the waves. Occasionally, some incomplete bones could be seen, 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 paddle entered the water, it seemed to break an invisible barrier. Gavin stood at the bow, carefully observing the surroundings. The Blood Dragon Guards behind him were also on guard against the water, ready to meet the upcoming unknown challenges.

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 to be full of malice. When they stepped on the shore, the land under their feet seemed to tremble slightly, as if resisting their arrival.

After successfully landing, the Blood Dragon Guards immediately alerted the surroundings. It was difficult for five small boats to transport all the horses and Blood Dragon Guards at one time. So Gavin had to rely on those small boats to transport repeatedly many times.

With each trip, Gavin became more and more anxious. He knew that time was running out. The longer he stayed in this mysterious and dangerous place, the more unknown risks he would face.

After a lot of hard work, the boat finally transported all the horses and the Blood Dragon Guards.

The direction of advance was determined. They all jumped on their horses and galloped towards the target.

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

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

It came fiercely and at a very fast speed. Before a junior Blood Dragon Guard who was leading the way could react, he was torn to pieces by the monster, including the man and the horse. The bloody scene was terrifying.

Gavin quickly took out the longbow from the horse, and while pulling the bow, a flaming arrow condensed, and the action was done in one go.

The flaming arrow whizzed out and hit the monster accurately. The monster screamed, one of its front paws was blown off, and its body was charred and seriously injured. The other blood dragon guards immediately rushed up and chopped it down, successfully killing the monster.

Gavin did not dare to stop for a moment and immediately continued to move forward.

Half a day later, the ruins of a small town appeared in front of him. Gavin pulled the reins and stopped his horse to explore and check it out.

The town was in ruins, with collapsed houses and mottled walls. The once tall buildings were now only broken walls and ruins. The unique carved decorations of Valyria also became blurred under the erosion of time and disaster. The streets were covered with gravel and rubble, as if telling the prosperity of the past and the desolation of today.

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

Several blood dragon guards led the way, and Gavin walked into the town carefully, full of vigilance. This place may have been prosperous and lively in the past, but now it is dead silent.

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

At this moment, the monster suddenly rushed out of a house, and it attacked a blood dragon guard who was very close to it with lightning speed. The blood dragon guard reacted very quickly, stabbed with a sword, and directly penetrated the monster's body.

However, the monster hanging on the sword seemed to have no pain, and attacked frantically, instantly tearing a huge wound on the chest of the blood dragon guard. Then, before other blood dragon guards approached 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 rushed towards Gavin. A senior blood dragon guard quickly stepped forward and chopped it into pieces, ending the battle.

But roars continued to be heard nearby, and it was obvious that the battle just now had alarmed many monsters.

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

The battle broke out instantly, and blood and fighting filled every corner.

Gavin's long sword burst into flames and attacked the monster swiftly, chopping it into pieces with a few swords.

However, as the battle continued, new monsters continued to pour in.

The blood dragon guards gradually fell behind, and three blood dragon guards were torn to pieces in a short time.

Seeing more and more monsters, Gavin immediately left ten blood dragon guards to attract the monsters to cover the rear, and led the remaining blood dragon guards to quickly leave the battle and turn around to escape.

Gavin, who successfully escaped, was full of doubts and thoughts: What kind of creature is this? Why is it so ferocious and not afraid of pain? What secrets does this Valyrian ruin hide?

He looked at the ruins around him, and gradually developed a fear of the unknown in his heart. But Gavin knew clearly that he must not retreat at this moment, and must seize the time to continue moving forward into the depths of the ruins.

Gavin hurried on his way, and even if he occasionally encountered some ruins, he did not go in to explore, but there were still constant attacks along the way, and similar monsters kept rushing in and attacking Gavin and his party.

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

At this time, 30 blood dragon guards had been lost along the way. Fortunately, the remaining senior blood dragon guards were not hurt.

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 was extremely large in scale, and the towering stone pillars stubbornly supported the heavy dome. Although part of it had collapsed, it still made people feel its former magnificence.

The exterior walls of the building were covered with traces of erosion over the years. The black rock surface was weathered and bumpy, and strange mosses and vines grew in some places.

The two huge stone doors at the entrance were broken and half-hidden on the ground, as if telling the past glory and the present loneliness in a sad way.

According to the diary of the ancestor, this building was a temple carefully built by the Valyrians to worship the gods believed by the Valyrians.

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.
