He shuttled through the forest in the middle of the night. The scenery around him changed rapidly in Copperfield’s eyes.
The burning sensation in the air slowly dissipated. Copperfield finally saw the forest that he had not seen for a long time.
After staying in the volcanic region for a few days, he had almost gotten used to the high temperature and the pungent smell of sulfur. After staying far away from the volcanic region, Copperfield felt that it was better to stay in the forest.
In the outer regions of the Crobal mountains, the power of magical beasts was generally not high. At most, they could reach the level of the Berserk Thunder bear from before.
To the current Copperfield, they could no longer be considered a threat. After all, in the outer regions of the mountain range of magical beasts, magical beasts with the strength of three-star could already have their own territory. Under normal circumstances, they would not appear in groups.
Even for some magical beasts that moved in groups, only the leader of the group would be slightly stronger, with the rest generally around one-star.
After all, once they exceeded the level of two-star, the leader of some groups would become wary of this magical beast. Unless the leader of the magical beast was about to die, otherwise, this magical beast that could threaten the leader’s position would definitely be expelled from the group, or even get killed by the leader himself.
“Wow, is this the outskirts of the magical beast mountain range?”
“The smell is pretty good, but it’s a little cold. This king’s nest is more comfortable.”
Doragon, who was clinging to Copperfield’s right arm, had been chattering non-stop along the way. He was extremely curious about the region that he had never set foot in before.
Copperfield could not stand this talkative dragon. He began to think whether it was a wrong decision for him to bring this stupid dragon out.
However, it was only on the way that Copperfield learned that Doragon had only cultivated for over ten years and had already reached three-star cultivation.
One had to know that it wasn’t cultivating in the territory of the dragons. All the resources had to be gathered by itself. When Doragon was still weak, other than daily cultivation, it had to think of a way to survive in this dangerous volcanic region.
Even if Doragon didn’t seem to have a good brain, Copperfield was quite impressed by his talent in cultivation.
“Hey, can I eat that fruit? It looks pretty good.”
“Why don’t you ask the horse to stop for a while and eat something before leaving?”
At this moment, Doragon had his eyes on a poisonous fruit called the thorn orange by the roadside. Although the thorn orange looked delicious on the outside, the flesh of the fruit contained a toxin that could make people feel numb.
When Copperfield had been traveling alone on the outskirts of the mountain range of magical beasts, he had tried to extract the toxin from this fruit to use as self-defense. However, due to the limitations of his tools, he could not preserve the activity of the toxin for a long time, so he could only give up.
Although he did not know whether Doragon would be affected by the toxin in this fruit, the problem was that this fruit did not taste good either.
As for how Copperfield knew that it didn’t taste good, after extracting the poison from the fruit, Copperfield tasted it a little. Indeed, it was extremely bitter.
Copperfield truly couldn’t Stand Doragon. After a “Friendly” negotiation with Doragon, he used the excuse that if Doragon spoke too much nonsense, if others heard it, they might attract the attention of six-star soul masters and above. He wanted Doragon to speak less nonsense.
The specific negotiation process was basically Copperfield speaking. Doragon pretended not to hear him. Copperfield’s soul power surged, and Doragon indicated that there was no problem.
In fact, Copperfield didn’t lie to Doragon. In the outside world, the dragon race had almost no interaction with humans. If Doragon’s relationship with Copperfield was known, it would definitely attract the attention of experts.
When that time came, it would bring Copperfield a lot of trouble. After all, not to mention the strength of the man and the dragon, their realms were both at the peak of two-star.
They could still fight against a four-star magical beast, but against a four-star human race who had the same battle IQ as them, they could only choose to hide temporarily.
Doragon, who had just “Pacified” him, was chattering non-stop.
Copperfield saw the flickering light of a campfire not far away.
Copperfield stopped Midnight and summoned Nameless.
At this time, even the magical beasts outside the mountain range had disappeared. The humans who would go to the mountain range were obviously not mercenary groups.
Copperfield immediately recalled what the leader of the dragon mercenary group, Clyde, had said. The recent abnormal movements in the mountain range might be related to the Cavendish family.
When he had encountered the wind magic wolves, Copperfield had seen two guards of the Cavendish family.
Now, Copperfield could almost confirm that the people who were camping not far away were from the Cavendish family.
Otherwise, before the storm clouds had dispersed, who would have the time to come to the Magical Beasts Mountain Range? It couldn’t be that they were taking advantage of the magical beasts hibernating to come out for an outing, right?
Copperfield brought Doragon to hide in the dark and let Nameless scout the way ahead.
Currently, those who had seen the true appearance of the Nameless were already dead. The identity of Nameless should not have been exposed.
Moreover, if they could confirm that the people in front of them were from the Cavendish family, they would have already sent people into the mountain. They would most likely have set up hidden sentries at the entrance and exit of the mountain range.
