The Mighty Dragons Are Dead-Chapter 934 - 0931: Not One Less (First Update)

Chapter 934: Chapter 0931: Not One Less (First Update)

Hoeing the fields at high noon, sweat drips down to the soil beneath.

Who knows, for every meal we take, each grain is hard-won toil.

One hundred and sixty Gold Coins would suffice for a lifetime for a Freeman’s family, and even by Li Si Te’s standards, it was enough for three to five breakfasts.

So he quietly admonished himself that when it was time to be frugal, he must be frugal and not waste precious Gold Coins on pointless boasting. After all, since he hadn’t revealed his real name, all the showing off would be fruitless as no one would know his true strength.

“Let me personally elevate the honor of the Red and White Rose Family as repayment for Mathew’s gift,” he said.

With a wave of his hand, he dismissed these trivial thoughts. Once Bear One and Bear Two entered deep into the forest, he signaled to Ach, “Mark them with a couple of Space Magic Power beacons, then we’ll switch to riding Bard. It’ll be faster… We don’t have much time to waste here.”

“Mhm.” With a casual wave of his hand, Ach imprinted two Magic Beacons onto the fur of the Earth Barbaric Bears.

Li Si Te patted the head of Bear One and tossed a steak into its mouth, saying, “You two live freely in the forest for now, I’ll come back to find you when I need you.”

The Earth Barbaric Bears were too slow and noisy; they weren’t suitable for finding the Pegasus Herd.

By the time Li Si Te and Ach left on the Formless Dragon, the two Earth Barbaric Bears were still dazed, unaware of what had happened. However, once the presence of the Formless Dragon was gone, the two bears glared at each other menacingly as if ready to fight, no longer suppressed by Li Si Te’s presence.

But soon, they gave up the glaring contest, each chose a direction, and bolted.

Life is precious, love even more so.

If it’s for freedom’s cause, both can be forgo.

Now that the dawn of freedom had appeared, there was no better time to run; they did not wish to continue being ridden like tiny ants by humans.

…

Riding the Formless Dragon, the search speed greatly increased.

The two riders and three dragons, moving along the material boundary, searched every ten minutes for a green dot where the Pegasus Herd frequented, every half hour for a purple dot where a Pegasus was caught, and every three hours for a red dot where a Unicorn was sighted.

The Crystal White Trajectory’s analysis of Magic Power was akin to radar-level effectiveness.

Finally, in the afternoon of the following day, they found a cluster of blue-gray Magic Radiance at one of the green dots, outlining winged steeds one by one. The Magic Power feedback from the Wind Attribute glowed in varying shades of blue, and with the wings on their backs, there was no doubt that the creatures gathered around the river were a Pegasus Herd.

Li Si Te didn’t have Bard appear immediately; instead, he closely identified the Magic Power feedback of each Pegasus in the herd. The blue-gray radiance varied in strength, but there was no discernible higher level of Magic Power.

They were all Low Magic.

This meant there were no Super Dragon Beasts, such as Storm Dragon Horses, among this Pegasus Herd.

“None, eh? It seems I haven’t found the true Pegasus Herd. There are only one, two, three, four… twenty-six pegasi here, possibly a small herd or just a fraction of a larger one,” Li Si Te quickly exited the Crystal White Trajectory and observed with the naked eye.

Through the gaps hidden by the trees, he could barely make out the true form of the Pegasi.

They looked slightly different from the pictures and descriptions provided by the Rangers, with a resemblance to normal horses. However, their shoulders, where the front legs met, were slightly stronger, and a pair of wings grew from that point. Since they were not flying, the wings were folded neatly by their sides.

Their color was not the silver-white described but primarily silver-white with some light gray patterns. The wings had faint blue patterns on them.

Their manes and tails appeared elegant and smooth, as if washed with a quality shampoo.

Comparing with his eyesight, these Pegasi were not much larger than normal horses. Even the largest among them was not as big as Li Si Te’s mount, the King of Black Blood Treasure Horses – Lightning. Lightning was four meters tall, these Pegasi were at most three to five meters, yet they were considered Advanced Dragon Beasts.

Emitting a faint dragon might.

That rich bluish-gray wind attribute magic power, I’m afraid just a casual swipe of a Wind Blade could shred Lightning into pieces.

“Big brother, we can follow this small Pegasus Herd, Ach found that there are no mares or foals among them. This probably isn’t an independent herd, following them should lead us to a larger Pegasus Herd.” Ach reminded.

“I understand.”

Li Si Te had the same thought.

So he quietly hid at the edge of the material boundary, waiting for the small Pegasus Herd to move while simultaneously summoning the Smoke Mission to check on its progress.

However, to his surprise, the mission had actually been completed.

“Mission complete, reward Pegasus Herd.”

“That was easy, but how am I supposed to take this herd of Pegasus with me?” A thought flashed through Li Si Te’s mind, which was quickly drawn away by a new mission.

“Mission: The Pegasus Herd before you is captivating, yet the Unicorn’s trace has never been revealed. However, for you who possess the Eye of Magic, it is quite simple to spy on creatures hiding in the dark. Please find a Pegasus with a horn. Reward: A Pegasus with a horn.”

“Hmm, still wants me to continue looking for the Unicorn, just as per the original plan, track this herd to find the larger colony.”

The plan was good, but the process was not as pleasant. After tracking the small Pegasus Herd for an entire day and night, the Pegasus showed no intention of joining a larger herd.

“Could it be that these male Pegasus are all single dogs that have lost their spirit, and only return to the larger herd to compete for mates during the mating season?”

With this thought, he quickly made a decision and said to Ach, “These Pegasus probably won’t return to the larger herd any time soon, Ach. Let’s mark them with a Space Magic Beacon first, and then continue to search for other Pegasus Herds.”

“Okay.”

Ach took action, stealthily approached the Pegasus Herd from the edge of material boundary, and placed several Space Magic Beacons before leaving.

They continued to search for other Pegasus Herds based on the spots marked on the map.

After searching for most of the day, they found another small Pegasus Herd of seventeen adult males. Just as Li Si Te was preparing to have Ach mark them with a Space Magic Beacon and continue the search for a new herd, one of the Pegasus suddenly raised its head and neighed.

Immediately after, the whole small herd of Pegasus raised their heads and neighed, quickly gathering together and staring at the dense forest ahead.

A yellowish creature was stealthily approaching the small Pegasus Herd.

“That’s…” Li Si Te was temporarily captivated by the image of the intruder.

It was a large cat with a unique body structure, as big as an elephant. Its face and mane were similar to a lion’s, but its claws were like an eagle’s, its body covered in hedgehog-like spikey fur, with bat-wing-like flaps on its ribs, and a scorpion-like stinger at the end of its tail.

Ach quickly guessed the identity of the invading creature, “It’s a Scorpio-tailed Lion, big brother. A dark attribute Super Magical Beast with deadly venom in its tail, deadly on contact.”

“A Scorpio-tailed Lion,” Li Si Te nodded without intervening in the Scorpio-tailed Lion’s hunting of the Pegasus.

According to the classification of enthusiasts, Advanced Dragon Beasts are more precious than Super Magical Beasts, but from the nervousness and agitation of the Pegasus Herd in the face of the Scorpio-tailed Lion, it can be discerned that the Scorpio-tailed Lion seems to prey on Pegasus. It’s clear that the ranking of Magical Beasts does not necessarily reflect actual combat strength.

“Big brother, shall we help the Pegasus? They are all big brother’s private property,” Ach inquired.

The little Sea Monster’s growth had been deeply influenced by Li Si Te, and it was firmly convinced of one principle—anything that big brother took a fancy to was big brother’s private property.

Now that Li Si Te had set his sights on the Pegasus Herd, the Pegasus naturally belonged exclusively to Li Si Te.

“Ha, ha…” Li Si Te laughed dryly and then said seriously, “Don’t worry, I’ve just thought of a plan. Maybe the Scorpio-tailed Lion’s intrusion can help us drive these Pegasus back to the larger Pegasus Herd for protection… In any case, we can’t lose a single Pegasus or Scorpio-tailed Lion. Let’s wait and see.”
