Chapter 248 The Key to Fiery Fire
Following the light of the glass candle, Viserys quietly set off from the Broken Arm of Dorne in the early morning of a certain day. After flying high into the sky, he no longer hesitated and headed in the direction of the light at full speed.
It had been more than two months since Fremy left Dragonstone. Viserys sent people to follow her, but as soon as the ship arrived in Pentos, she lost her whereabouts and returned empty-handed. Viserys did not expect a few guards to do anything in Essos, but Fremy's disappearance for more than two months still made Viserys more cautious about this invitation to "walk with the gods".
The other party promised the full power of "Storm Song", and what was needed was Viserys' help to find something in the ruins of Valyria - the Key of Fire.
This thing sounds like a key, or some kind of artifact, but Fremy herself didn't know what it was, and only said: "When we find it, we will know what it is."
As for why Viserys was asked for help.
Fremi said: Because Viserys is the only demigod in the world who can enter the ruins of Valyria and move freely, even if the Drowned God wants to take action, he will be blocked by the highland barrier of Valyria and cannot go deep into it.
This is the reason given. As for whether to agree or not, it is all up to Viserys to consider.
After all, under the pressure of the end of the world, Viserys still agreed.
Having faced the ice dragon magic of the God of Cold in Braavos and witnessed the struggle between the remains of the God of Storm and the Drowned God in the Stormland, Viserys' current strength may be enough to sweep across the human world, but facing the real power of the gods in this world, he still needs to have the corresponding "personality" and "power".
After contacting "Storm Song", Viserys clearly felt how terrible the plasticity of this power could be.
Viserys often thought that if a scientist with deeper scientific literacy and physics knowledge came, he could use this "Storm Song" to achieve even more terrible power.
The "Red God" and the "Cold God" have complete "songs". When they attack, will they fight with magic like primitive people?
These "gods" who have been in the world for thousands of years are probably not easy to deal with. Only the original "Storm God" foolishly injected power into living things and wreaked havoc in the world, and finally died.
Since obtaining the power of "Storm Song", Viserys has been able to reach Mach 2 at full speed, which is almost equivalent to modern supersonic fighters and can break the sound barrier, but this magic-shaped body still lags behind. Such a high speed requires a lot of magic power and maintains a huge body to provide consumption. It is impossible to cruise at this speed during normal flight. So it was used by Viserys as a killer to escape.
Viserys flew very fast alone. In just one hour, he had crossed the Stone Steps Islands and entered the disputed land.
The direction indicated by the glass candle was still northeast, which was neither Lys nor Myr.
Soon, Viserys went deep into the inland of Essos, and looked out from the sky to see the river flow. He was roughly near the Golden Fields.
And it was this look.
that surprised Viserys.
Under the clouds, large areas of land in the Golden Fields were flooded by the river. The river flooded the land. Looking up, the entire Rhoyne River basin became a turbid flood area, the grassland turned into a swamp, the forest turned into a swamp, and the hills turned into an isolated island.
This field, once famous for its fertility, seemed to have been plowed by something. Looking from above, it was like the earth was torn into a festering wound.
No wonder, according to the news, all the Dothraki who had stayed here for a long time fled east and fled back to Dothras.
Perhaps no one would have thought that the Dothraki who had been causing trouble here for nearly two years finally withdrew from this place in this way.
The flooding of the Rhoyne River ended at the confluence of the Korn River and the Undercurrent River, where the destroyed city of Ar Noy ended. Ar Noy was a ruined city. Originally, only river pirates and cursed stone men would appear here, but when Viserys flew over, he saw many shanties built on the ground, which seemed to be disaster refugees who wanted to escape to Qohor.
The suffering these Essos people were experiencing had nothing to do with Viserys. He just continued to fly, and when he finally saw the Blackstone Avenue built by the Valyrians on the land, and the direction indicated by the glass candle was almost the same as the avenue, Viserys realized that his destination of this trip was Qohor without any accident.
At this moment, Viserys thought of Qohor's rumors about "dragons".
The guidance of the glass candle stopped somewhere in the dense primeval forest of Qohor. Viserys scanned from the sky and found that this was a canyon deep in the dense forest more than ten miles away from the dark city of Qohor.
Two hills formed a canyon in the dense forest of Qohor, and deep in the canyon was a huge natural pit.
And in the cracks of the cliffs in the pit, there was a monastery hidden.
If Viserys hadn't had a sharp eye and looked down from a high altitude, he might not have been able to find the monastery.
The protruding part of the cliff was a few red-roofed stone buildings, and inside the cliff, there was a huge cave.
Like every temple of the Red God, inside the cave, a red tower was built, and on the top of the tower was a blazing flame.
While Viserys was looking around, several monks in red robes walked out from the depths of the cave of the monastery, and surrounded one of them and came to the Red God's Flame Tower, as if some kind of ceremony was being held.
Soon, Viserys noticed that the red-robed monk who was surrounded seemed to be looking at him.
It was Fremy.
So Viserys descended from above and finally landed on the top of the cliff where the monastery was located, waiting for Fremy to come over there.
Although Viserys didn't want to enter the temple of the Red God, he still did not forget to observe.
The red-robed monks below seemed to turn a blind eye to Viserys's actions, and Fremy didn't seem to care about Viserys's actions, but still led the monks to perform some kind of ceremony in front of the flame tower below.
And not long after, from the cave of the monastery, a large group of red-robed priests appeared in the field of vision, dragging a huge iron cage with iron chains and axles.
Seeing this, Viserys couldn't help but suspect that the red-robed monks might have hollowed out the entire mountain, or that there was a huge cave in the mountain, so the monastery was built here.
The iron cage seemed to be pulled out from the ground.
And it was not beyond Viserys's expectation that there was a long-winged dragon about four or five meters in size in the iron cage.
Even though he had seen pictures of it in books about the Citadel, this was the first time Viserys had seen a pterosaur from the continent of Sothoryos.
This dragon does look like a giant dragon, and is also a two-legged pterosaur, with a similar head-to-body ratio, and a spine on its back like a giant dragon, and a slender body.
But its neck is obviously shorter than that of a giant dragon, and its lower limbs look stronger than those of a giant dragon.
This creature is more like a large carnivore evolved from a dinosaur.
It obviously can't breathe fire, so it can only roar helplessly in the cage with its teeth and claws bared.
Its voice is more like that of a large bird than a wild beast - Viserys would think of the calls of pelicans or flamingos he saw in documentaries in his previous life.
Viserys mourned its fate.
The ceremony led by Fremi and so many red-robed monks was obviously not an ordinary ritual activity.
Sure enough, as the pterosaur arrived.
Fremi began to lead the chanting of a mysterious language.
Following closely behind, the monks chanted aloud. As the chanting became louder and louder, the flames in the monastery tower suddenly rose.
And the scene that made Viserys feel a toothache appeared with the terrible chanting.
Low and hoarse voices sounded in the huge cave, and wisps of fire rose from Fremi's body. As the monks led by Fremi chanted the mysterious language, it seemed that the flames with mysterious power were guided and fell on the monks' bodies.
Then, a terrible scene appeared.
The monks squatted down, spread their legs, and their whole bodies glowed under the red robes. Wisps of black smoke began to flow out from their buttocks. The black smoke was as thick as thick liquid and as black as ink.
The monks cried out in pain, and it was hard to tell whether it was pain or fanaticism, or both. With the crying of pain, the black smoke turned into a group of shadow creatures that twisted and looked like children with strange postures.
Viserys only felt a chill rising up from the back of his neck.
The black shadows like children appeared under the flames of the tower. They stretched, tore, and twisted like noodles, and finally passed through the iron cage bars and rushed towards the long-winged dragon in the iron cage.
The black shadows were like chains, piercing through the wings, legs, chest, abdomen and even head of the long-winged dragon without any hindrance. The flesh and blood of the giant creature seemed to be just a thin layer of paper, and could not stop the black shadow-like chain tradition at all.
The pterosaur only had time to make a short hissing before it completely lost its voice.
Viserys guessed that the pterosaur was dead in just a moment.
Blood, a lot of blood gushed out from the mouth of the long-winged dragon that was pierced by the black chain, and strangely, the blood did not flow to the ground or splash wantonly, but like small snakes, entwined with the shadow chains, and condensed into brown chains with the shadows, just like terrifying tentacles growing on the body.
At this time, Fremi stepped forward and waved her hand. The red-robed priests who had pushed the iron cage up earlier responded immediately and stepped forward to unlock the iron cage.
Just like that, Fremi walked to the unrecognizable pterosaur, stretched out her hand to grab one of the chains made of shadows and blood, and then rode on the terrifying pterosaur under the guidance of one of the chains, as if climbing a step.
Seeing that, Fremi drove the pterosaur out of the iron cage, spread its wings, and began to run in the cave like a normal living thing, taking advantage of the momentum to take off.
Just like that, Fremi rode the pterosaur with black smoke and blood chains wrapped around its body, flew out of the cave, flew over the monastery, and came to the top of the mountain.
Came in front of Viserys.
Fremi's voice was cold, as if she was talking about something trivial: "Then, let's go, Your Majesty Viserys."
Her voice was still so pleasant, and even though she was riding on the terrifying pterosaur surrounded by black air, she still looked strangely holy.
Viserys looked deeply at Fremi and responded calmly: "Please lead the way, lady."
Fremi nodded indifferently, and drove the "pterosaur" up from the top of the mountain and into the sky.
Viserys suppressed the thought of looking at the monastery cave to see the fate of those monks after this terrible ceremony, and then flapped his wings and chased Fremi's "pterosaur".
Viserys looked at the miserable pterosaur and couldn't help but think of Nightfire, the dragon hatched by Daenerys. If R'hllor had found a way to hatch a dragon without Daenerys, Nightfire would probably have suffered the same fate as this long-winged dragon.
It was unknown whether Fremi chose to control only this long-winged dragon because she was not strong enough to control a larger dragon, or whether she felt that such a large and flying pterosaur was enough as a means of transportation.
Soon, Viserys knew that things might be more complicated than he had imagined.
At first, Viserys thought that Fremi rode on the pterosaur and they could fly directly to Valyria from the air.
But he didn't expect that Fremi's dragon still needed to eat and rest.
At this time, Viserys realized that this pterosaur, which was transformed by Fremi with rituals and witchcraft, did not become a biological weapon driven by magic, and its flying speed was not fast, only about the same as an eagle.
It was around dusk when they flew out of the dense forest of Qohor and arrived at the grassland.
At this time, Fremi saw a group of wild horses at the edge of the Forest of Qohor.
So she informed Viserys that she would rest here today, and drove her modified pterosaur to hunt among the horses.
Viserys found a foothold and watched in amazement as she drove the pterosaur to pounce on the horses.
Although the pterosaurs used the brown tentacles made of shadows and flesh to hunt wild horses was very bloody and the scene was weird, for some reason, the shock that Viserys had felt when he transformed the creatures in the monastery before was reduced a lot after this.
The horror filter disappeared inexplicably.
When Fremi took the pterosaur to eat and drink enough and said that the pterosaur needed to rest before it could continue to fly, Viserys had completely lost the mystery and weird filter of the pterosaurs transformed by Fremi's ritual.
Seeing the pterosaur sleeping soundly by the river at night, Viserys finally couldn't help asking, "Can I understand that you killed and then resurrected the pterosaur, and as for these things, they are the means you use to control it?"
Viserys felt strange for some reason. He refused to have any contact with Fremi, let alone take her flying - because Viserys was afraid that if he came into contact with her, she would commit suicide to release the power in her body and entangle Viserys.
Perhaps this is why Fremi needs a means of transportation. However, there can't be such a coincidence in this world. The Red God Temple obviously didn't just happen to have such a pterosaur. It is obvious that R'hllor's followers have coveted the Valyrian dragons and Sothoryos pterosaurs for a long time. Viserys even suspected that there might be fire dragon worms in a Red God monastery.
Fremi asked back: "Have you seen the power of the Red God to resurrect from the dead?"
"I have heard of it."
She replied: "This is the power of God."
Viserys asked: "Why can't it be like you, without food or water, and have sufficient physical strength?"
She looked back strangely: "There are so few creatures in this world who are blessed with divine power like you and me. How can such power be possessed by a worthless thing?"
"What about the wights?" Viserys was curious, "According to you, wights also need to eat and drink?"
In his cognition, wights are like a kind of biological perpetual motion machine.
Fremi said: "The alien god uses cold to give them the power to move. They are essentially dead things, flesh and blood servants of the aliens."
Viserys couldn't help but look at the pterosaur with strange brown "shadow flesh tentacles" on its body: "So, this pterosaur is still alive and is a living thing?"
Fremi answered as a matter of course: "Of course, this is the power of the Red God!"
"." Viserys looked at the pterosaur that was sleeping like a biochemical crisis boss. It was really hard to associate its appearance with a "living thing". Finally, he changed the subject, "How long will it take to rest before it can set off again?"
"We'll set off at dawn." Fremi replied, "However, Lord Viserys, I would like to ask you to bring some food for the pterosaur on the road. It is expected to be tomorrow. Today we will enter the territory of Matalis at the northern end of the Sea of Sighs. From there, it will be difficult for the pterosaurs to obtain normal edible food. "
"What do you mean?"
"The land of Valyria is cursed. You don't think it's a rumor spread by ordinary people, do you?"
Viserys couldn't help but look at the pterosaur again: "I just didn't expect that it would still have requirements for the quality of food even in this state."
"Or would you like to walk into Valyria with me? Or should we buy mutant monsters from the city-state of Matalis to travel?"
When they set out the next day, the horses that Viserys had targeted on the Dothraki grasslands suffered a disaster. Viserys had to hunt several wild horses, freeze them into ice, and fly in his hands.
It was not until the evening that Viserys and Fremi finally arrived at the northern shore of the Sea of Sighs.
This pterosaur is actually only three or four years old. Although it has entered the mature stage of pterosaurs and can hunt on its own, it has not fully grown up, and its flying speed is really not fast. Viserys had to fly slowly with the speed of the pterosaur.
But compared to taking a boat or riding a horse, they actually only flew for one day and one night to reach the northern end of the Land of Long Summer from Qohor, which is a speed that ordinary people in this world cannot imagine. You know, a normal caravan riding a horse or taking a boat would take half a month to a month to cross mountains and rivers and travel by boat to get there.
As soon as he entered the Land of Long Summer, even if it was just the northern end of the Sea of Sighs, Viserys clearly felt a strange breath.
They rested on a hill in the west of Matalis that day, and could look down to the narrow inland sea in the land of long summer - the Sea of Sighs.
This inland sea was once the jurisdiction of the Valyrian Freehold, and the city of Matalis in the far north was built by the colonists of the Valyrian Freehold. There are many Valyrian roads around this inland sea, leading to the destroyed cities of Baharath and Oros, and to Volantis in the west and Meereen in the east.
This inland sea was once a witness to the prosperity of Valyria.
At the peak of the power of the Freehold, Matalis, located in the far north of the Sea of Sighs and at the main transportation route, was an extremely rich and prosperous city.
But now, this sea and this city have become a symbol of horror, just like Valyria.
Since the catastrophe, the water of the Sea of Sighs has turned into a terrible reddish brown - like blood. When people say that this sea is a catastrophe, Valyria is associated with the symbol of hell. It is the blood of demons that permeates this place that makes it so terrible. Although the nearby city of Mataris was not destroyed by the disaster and continued to be inhabited because it was located on the edge, the people here are said to have been cursed since the catastrophe and were born as deformed freaks. People regard Mataris as an evil and ominous place and call it the "City of Monsters".
Speaking of which, before this departure, Viserys made up for the relevant knowledge of Valyria in the Citadel. When he saw these descriptions, Viserys was still thinking that Valyria might have encountered an incident similar to a nuclear bomb attack, resulting in rampant radiation.
But just after arriving at the Sea of Sighs, with enough status and an understanding of magic close to the essence, Viserys could easily feel that the magic atmosphere on this land was extremely chaotic and rich. The power analogous to "radiation" was the chaotic magic power raging on this land.
As for the blood-red color of the Sea of Sighs, there is a more scientific explanation. From the smell of rust and pungent air in the wind, Viserys can tell that this former Valyrian Fortress is now full of sulfide acidic substances and minerals with extremely high iron content after volcanic eruptions.
Compared with this blood sea that can be observed with the naked eye, the real poisoning of this land is the extremely chaotic magic power. Even before going deep, Viserys felt a sense of oppression at the northern end of the Long Summer Land.
Even though he has the power of "song" and can be called a "demigod", he still feels the blockage and influence of chaotic magic on his own magic cycle in this environment.
This means that these chaotic magic powers have the same source as Viserys - this is the power of "song".
Viserys did not expect that there are still creatures alive in this "blood sea". At nightfall, he saw strange fish leaping out of the sea, with a terrifying appearance and full of tumors.
As Fremi said before, all the creatures on this land have undergone terrible mutations, that is, they are cursed. Not only fish, but also occasional birds and beasts.
Viserys looked at the nearby city of Mataris. Although it was recorded in the books of the Citadel, he felt an inexplicable sadness when he saw that there were still people living in that city, farming and working on the heavily polluted land outside the city. Most of those people were radiated by magical power, and their bodies became strange and bizarre. Growing multiple limbs and growing two heads were only relatively mild mutations. The more serious ones almost turned into non-human weird appearances.
And those mutants who lost their civilization for four hundred years have long since changed from the once arrogant citizens of Valyria to a small group of radiation tribes that have not yet been extinct, and are regarded as monsters and demons by passing merchants and normal people.
There are even passing slave-catching teams, which offer a large reward for slave-catching people to enter the city and catch some weird-looking "freaks" to sell as special slaves.
According to the Citadel, these "people" living there are the first survivors who survived the looting and massacres. They have long been expelled from the human race by normal humans and regarded as non-human aliens over the years.
Viserys does not intend to contact them. He is not their savior, but just one of the travelers passing by.
After resting for a night on the north shore of the Sea of Sighs, Viserys and Fremi set out again the next day.
Flying over the Sea of Sighs in a pungent smell and an environment that makes magic sluggish, they entered the real ruins of Valyria.
If you don't really come in and see it, it's hard to imagine that after four hundred years, this land that has been tortured in people's impressions has gradually formed a new ecology. Some herbs with red leaves and stems grow wildly in the wilderness, and some weird, grotesque, and demon-like creatures live in this land.
And Viserys will soon understand why mortals cannot survive here.
Because those creatures that survive in the chaos magic generally have some mutation abilities, just like monsters from fantasy worlds or horror novels. For example, a small rodent that may have mutated from a mouse. When Viserys discovered it, he observed that it was eating the stems of that herb.
When it senses a threat, the creature will spray an acidic liquid from its mouth, which can even leave indelible marks on the rocks.
Following the Valyrian Road that was vaguely visible in the ruins, Viserys and Fremi finally arrived at the last city in the north of the Sea of Smoke, and the last place where they were expected to rest in peace, Oros in Valyria.
This is a ruined city on the northern shore of the Sea of Smoke, across the sea from Telia.
From here, you can see the most terrifying area of Valyria, the boiling sea of smoke, and the Valyrian Peninsula where the capital of Valyria is located.
There are cliffs all around, and the sky above has always been fiery red since the Valyrian catastrophe happened four hundred years ago, while the sea of smoke below seems to be boiling forever along with hell, and a lot of acrid smoke rises from the smoke. Volcanoes and smoking rocky reefs rise in the sea, and it is unimaginable that, looking from a distance, there is still "vegetation" covering both sides of the ruins of those horrific environments.
The "vegetation" that looks like towering trees is covered with volcanic ash, making it difficult to determine whether it is a weird woodland made of volcanic ash or a real tree.
What is even more unimaginable is that the ruins of the city of Oros still have "people" living in the strong fortresses built by the Valyrian people in the city to this day.
It's just that compared to Matalis City, the "people" here are more inhumane and less like normal humans. They are afraid of the sun and are used to coming out at night. They have terrifying shadows in the night, and their movements are ghostly, more like those in folklore. Demons, ghosts.
It can be said that it is basically impossible for a normal person to survive in this environment.
Viserys could not imagine how Euron the Crow's Eye, who had claimed to have arrived in Valyria, had done so.
Viserys couldn't help but ask: "Our target is the main peak of the Fourteen Fire Peaks in the city of Valyria?"
The Fourteen Fire Peaks is a huge volcanic chain that stretches across the Valyrian peninsula and the mainland. Viserys received information about the volcanoes from the Dragonbinder. The Valyrian people originally wanted to mine red gold and gold. , silver and other mineral materials, thousands of mine shafts were dug inside the volcano.
Not only that, there are countless giant dragons digging nests and dens in the volcanoes. It can be said that after thousands of years of excavation, the entire shaft inside the Fourteen Fire Peaks can be connected ten times around the world. Not only that, it was even more exaggerated than the Xiangpiaopiao advertisements Viserys had ever heard.
Now after experiencing the catastrophe, the earth collapsed and the land sank. If you want to find something in the current shaft, I am afraid it cannot be done overnight.
Flemy's answer was still vague: "We will know when we get closer."
There are many rumors about the end of Valyria, including natural disasters, digging through hell, internal fighting between dragon kings, or the failure of the spell to control the volcano. The version Viserys got here is that the gods worked together to destroy Valyria. After feeling the magical chaos in the Land of Long Summer, Viserys felt that the theory of the gods working together became more and more credible.
Viserys asked: "Valyria was destroyed by the combined efforts of the gods, right?"
Fremi looked back quietly and replied calmly: "Sorry, I can't answer this question for you. It's not that I'm hiding it. The fact is, I don't know."
"you do not know?"
"I am just a tool of the gods, Your Majesty Viserys. You may think that I should have more secrets and know more," Flemy shook her head, "But the fact is that I am just a tool. I know you will find it strange, but the fact is That's it. I don't know why my mission changed again and again, and finally turned into asking you to help find the so-called 'Key of Fire'. I don't even know what that thing is, but this is God's decree, and I am Him. tool, I will move forward according to His will.”
Strangely, as she said this, she suddenly seemed human to Viserys. He didn't ask her about those gods anymore, and treated her as a human being for the first time: "I think you will die here. I am very curious, will you be afraid?"
"No, no," Flemy replied, "Death is not the end for us, Your Majesty. Death is return." She saw Viserys shaking his head, so she stopped talking about their death philosophy and said, "I know I am sacrificing myself for a great cause, so I won’t be afraid.”
"but?"
"Your Majesty, I know that maybe you can already be called a 'god'," Fremi suddenly asked, "I want to know, what do you think of us mortals and your believers? Do you love them?"
"You ask me this, which means you have the answer in your heart."
She paused, and after a few heartbeats, she regained that sense of holiness: "Thank you for your answer."
At dawn, after resting, they set out again.
Crossing the sea of smoke formed by the fragmentation of the peninsula, we entered the real danger zone.
Just arrived in the sky above Tria, after all, he has to cooperate with Fremi's pterosaur, so the speed is not fast. Viserys is taking the opportunity to view the ruins of the city of Tria to see if he can find the current director of the city, "Dr. Marwin". He is thinking, Is there any trace left in the library of Tria's study that was willing to die for a chance to read it?
Unexpectedly, a strange black mist suddenly flew out from the ruined city and headed straight for Viserys and Fremi in the sky.
When the black mist got closer.
Viserys saw clearly that they were a group of strange mosquitoes with black smoke trailing behind them. The mosquitoes were swarming and overwhelming, forming a black wind and attacking Viserys and Fremi.
From a long distance away, Flemy controlled the tentacles made of the shadows and flesh on the pterosaur's body to wave continuously.
Seeing that the tentacles actually brought out flames, Viserys was amazed. However, the attack of the pterodactyl tentacles controlled by Fremi did not have a great effect. Although each swing could take away a piece of black mist, but compared to That huge population seems to be a drop in the bucket.
Viserys no longer hesitated, and immediately breathed out flames and attacked the black mist.
What Viserys didn't expect was that the fire breath, which was a special attack on carbon-based creatures, did not pose a great threat to these weird things. Although the fire did suppress the black mist, there were still mosquitoes after the fire breath ended. Survive, regroup and continue the attack.
Viserys thought briefly and switched to Frost Breath.
And sure enough, when the black mist encountered the frost, it was like meeting its nemesis. It showed signs of melting as soon as it encountered the ice mist.
In just a few breaths, this wave of black mist was completely melted by the breath of frost.
Viserys secretly thought that there was no record of this strange mosquito even in the city, and it was probably a thing that mutated after the catastrophe.
Valyria is different from the northern part of the coast. The land on the peninsula is severely damaged, almost barren, with almost no grass growing. The ground is covered with volcanic ash. Occasionally, you can see black substances with strange brilliance. There are living things living in this place. It was already extremely rare, and until Viserys saw it with his own eyes, he couldn't believe that there were actually swarms of strange mosquitoes.
And there were quite a few. As they continued to go deeper, under the terrifying red sky of Valyria, those weird mosquitoes even poured out from some weird vents where lava could be faintly seen, heading towards Wesel in the sky. Reese and the others launched an attack.
This shows that this creature is extremely heat-resistant, and there must be enough nutrients or prey to allow them to form such a large group.
Viserys was thinking that Balerion, the Black Death, might have encountered something like this when he returned to Valyria.
And on the seemingly desolate ruins of Valyria, there may be other terrifying creatures living there, forming a unique biological system after the catastrophe.
Along the broken road of Valyria since Trea, Viserys had seen many huge dragon bones buried in the ruins and volcanic lime. The glorious black substance is mostly the exposed keel.
And such dragon bones can be seen almost everywhere in the ruins. You can imagine how terrible things happened to the dragons of Valyria when the catastrophe came, so that even though they had flown into the wild, they still could not escape the fate of falling.
Flying from a high altitude, except for the mosquitoes, there were no other weird creatures to attack them.
Viserys and Fremi were actually inhuman beings, so the pungent smell of sulfur and volcanic ash in the sky, as well as the chaotic surge of magic in the sky, did not hinder their actions.
It's just that the pterosaur, even though it has been transformed into an extremely terrifying appearance, this pterosaur, which is still within the category of ordinary creatures, still cannot withstand the terrifying environment of Valyria, and has fallen into some kind of weirdness that can be seen with the naked eye. Under influence.
Its speed slowed down visibly to the naked eye, its head drooped, and it became groggy.
Fortunately, Fremi can still be controlled by the weird shadow tentacles, and it can continue to fly.
When Viserys and Fremi arrived at the ruins of the Valyrian city and saw the majestic black walls and the huge black buildings that collapsed and collapsed, the pterosaur actually showed signs of losing its strength and had to Make an emergency landing.
Check after landing.
Only then did they discover that the tentacles on the pterodactyl had mosquito corpses left on them. These mosquitoes seemed to have been left behind by the black mist when Fremi controlled the pterodactyl to attack.
Only then did Viserys know that the tentacles that grew out of the pterosaurs after being modified were not decorations, but organs that were actually connected to the pterosaurs' bodies. The corpses of these mosquitoes contained some kind of magic-contaminated toxins, which passed through the flesh and blood on the tentacles. , entered the body of the pterosaur.
In other words, it is sick.
It's just weird.
A creature that had been biochemically modified by Fremi's divine power actually fell ill in Valyria just a few hours after being stained with the corpse of a mosquito.
Other than lamenting the strangeness of Valyria, Viserys was unable to make any other comment on this matter.
Seeing that the ruins of Valyria's capital city were close before his eyes, Viserys was unwilling to contact Fremi, but if he walked there, Wangshan would run to death: "What should we do next?"
"It's dying." Fremi said calmly, "Your Majesty, please breathe ice on it to deal with the toxins on it. Then I will resurrect it again. I hope its fire of life is enough to last until it flies." To the ruins of the city.”
Viserys asked, "Can ice be used to treat toxins?"
Flemy replied: "I just found out too."
Viserys secretly complained, why is R'hllor giving out information like squeezing out toothpaste? Can't he give it all at once?
If he had known that those mosquitoes were weak to ice, Viserys would have easily killed this biochemical pterosaur on such weird bugs.
As for Fremi, she asked him to breathe out.
Viserys was no longer surprised. This method was undoubtedly to kill the pterosaur and the pathogens on it first, and then use the magic power of the Red God to resurrect it.
Viserys did not hesitate, the land of Valyria was so strange, and staying in the wilderness meant danger. Viserys approached the dying pterodactyl, and seemed to see a trace of fear in its eyes, but Viserys ignored it and simply sprayed it with a mouthful of frost breath.
In just a few moments, the pterodactyl succumbed to Viserys' breath.
And its body began to smoke strangely, especially those tentacles.
Viserys felt an inexplicable chill.
Perhaps the bacteria and viruses on the land of Valyria have evolved into terrifying lesions.
Although his dragon body was transformed by magic, his body after forming was flesh and blood, but there was magic flowing inside as the basis.
Seeing the pterosaur sizzling with smoke, Viserys didn't care about his face and immediately used a wave of ice breath to disinfect himself, and didn't forget to ask Fremi: "Do you want a sip too?"
But looking over, Viserys suddenly noticed that Fremi's expression inexplicably revealed a sense of divinity.
I only heard her answer indifferently: "You have the power of 'song', Your Majesty Viserys, why are you afraid of these mortals?"
Then, she saw her body suddenly glowing, and a raging flame seemed to be burning in her flesh and blood. A cluster of flames spewed out of her mouth and fell on the pterosaur that had just been killed by Viserys' frost breath.
The ice and snow melted, and the flesh and blood solidified.
In just a moment, the pterosaur's dull eyes regained their brilliance, but compared to before, it lost some of its agility.
But there was no doubt that it was alive again.
