This Giant Dragon is So Powerful!-Chapter 43 - 42: Finally Found

"Who?"

Valentine, who was chatting and drinking with the clan warriors, seemed to feel something. His eyes narrowed as he instantly turned his head to look behind him, shouting loudly. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Discovered.

Hiding in a lush forest, Shiji felt a chill in his heart, and reacted swiftly by fleeing backwards with extreme agility and speed.

Valentine had excellent vision and could vaguely see Shiji’s figure through the dense forest. His face immediately darkened as he quickly spoke to the warriors around him.

"It’s a kobold, chase it!"

Judging by its unique tall appearance and the speed it exhibited, this spy wasn’t an ordinary kobold but likely a strong adversary or even a leader from the other tribe!

Valentine, instead of being shocked, was pleased, as he considered this the perfect opportunity to deal with these invaders.

These invading kobolds and goblins were completely different from the weak, small demons he had encountered in the past. Not only were they powerful, but they also displayed decent organizational skills, and fully armed human soldiers were probably no match for them!

Valentine did not recognize them as Dragon Vein Creatures since the goblin and kobold followers who had undergone minor Dragon Blood Transformation were difficult to distinguish. Even Shiji, who had notable dragon traits, couldn’t be clearly recognized.

Both Valentine and the Wild Dwarf Warriors under his command merely regarded these warriors as a stronger subspecies among the goblin and kobold races.

Demons naturally mutate, and based on their environment can evolve into various subspecies, both weak and strong, similar to the emergence of Wild Dwarves.

Moments later.

The Wild Dwarf Warriors halted their pursuit and returned to their temporary camp, cursing as they went.

"That guy is too fast and agile, deliberately diving into the dense forest. It’s impossible to catch up!" said Kolon, a Wild Dwarf, angrily.

While they were quite nimble in the forest too, the physical structure made kobolds especially suited for forest combat and movement.

Additionally, Shiji’s own powerful abilities played a fundamental role. If it had been an ordinary kobold, it would have been doomed within three seconds of discovery.

"Forget it, let’s report back to the tribe first." Captain Valentine also seemed annoyed but didn’t dwell too much.

After all, with the Brown Forest Clan’s strength, they could take on any number of invaders.

This was confidence in their power!

After tidying up their temporary camp gear, the group of Wild Dwarves headed towards the northwest.

What they didn’t notice was that Shiji, whom they had just been chasing, had quietly returned and was now following the large group.

Learning from his previous exposure, Shiji maintained a greater distance this time to ensure he wouldn’t be discovered.

"It’s fortunate they don’t have a caster with them," Shiji thought, grateful for his luck as he tracked them.

Casters, with strong spiritual power, have very sharp instincts and if they learned Detection Spells or Trace Erasure Spells, tracking them would be nearly impossible.

"But these Wild Dwarf warriors are really powerful," Shiji felt a bit heavy-hearted.

During his escape, Shiji observed and paid attention to the strength of those Wild Dwarves.

Although he couldn’t use Udi’s Investigation Skill for detailed analysis, based on experience, Shiji could roughly estimate their strength.

Those ordinary Wild Dwarf warriors were all no less than Third-level Professional Level.

As for the Wild Dwarf Captain leading them, he probably had strength equivalent to a Fifth-level Professional Level... no, maybe even higher. That guy had such a powerful Triangular Dragon as a mount, he might possess Sixth-level or even Seventh-level Professional Level strength!

Half a year ago, Shiji was at Level 4, and after months of hunting, battles, and devouring a large amount of demon and beast flesh, driven by the impact of Banquet Talent, Power of the Dragon Vein, and Servant Contract feedback, Shiji’s Biological Level had reached Tier Five High, not far from Level 6.

Reaching Level 5 marked an entry into the middle-level ranks in the Professional Level division. Such strength, within a weak Human Duchy, would be considered strong, and in a powerful Kingdom, was an indispensable backbone force, an elite presence.

"But no matter how strong, they will eventually bow and submit to the great master’s Dragon Wings!" Shiji’s belief was exceedingly firm.

With his own strength continuously improving and his tribe growing stronger, Shiji’s worship of his master had reached an extreme.

In terms of Faith Level in worshiping a Divine Spirit, Shiji was at the fanatic follower level. The next level up would be a Saint, but in terms of belief intensity, Saints and Fanatics were quite similar. The main reason Saints rank above Fanatics is that Saints possess relatively special strong souls.

After tracking for nearly two hours and covering at least dozens of kilometers of forest road, the group of Wild Dwarf warriors finally stopped in front of a huge, vine-covered cave with clear, transparent streams slowly flowing out from its depths.

The cave, located between two mountain peaks, seemed quite secluded.

"No wonder it was hard to find." Seeing the enemy’s lair’s location, Shiji suddenly understood.

In the complex dark forest environment, the spot Mondo mentioned encountering the Wild Dwarves was about fifty or sixty kilometers away from here. It seemed not far, but if searching this area was centered from that location, it would require exploring thousands of square kilometers to possibly find this spot.

Even after six months, it would be difficult to locate such a hidden place.

Unless all warriors from the Black Blood Tribe and the Green Forest Tribe were dispatched solely to find the Wild Dwarves.

Under Shiji’s watch, those Wild Dwarf warriors excitedly approached the clear stream, cupped their hands, and greedily drank the water.

After finishing their drinks, they headed towards the depths of the cave, over ten meters high, gradually disappearing from sight.

Shiji didn’t choose to continue tracking them, as it was likely their lair was inside, and his master had also warned him that even Wild Dwarves with some scale often have casters in their profession traditions.

If he continued tracking, he might inadvertently expose himself.

Therefore, Shiji took a good look at the place, noting its location and environmental features before quickly retracing his steps without hesitation.

On the way back, Shiji marked his path while connecting spiritually with his master.

Black Blood Valley, at the waterfall and pool in the simple Dragon Nest.

Udi ceased absorbing and refining from the outside elements and slowly opened his eyes.

"Wild Dwarves, huh? After all this time, we’ve finally pinpointed their lair." Udi muttered to himself.

Having such a powerful clan near the Dragon Nest’s vicinity, without knowing their location and assessing their exact strength, Udi couldn’t possibly find peace.

Although Wild Dwarves usually align with the lawful neutral faction and rarely initiate killings, Udi never relinquishes control to others.

He must hold the reins!

With a thought, the panel appeared before Udi.

[Udi: Biological Level 7; Mage Level 4] (Body length 9.53m)

[Life Force: 16.04]

[Current Banquet Level: 26 layers] (Cooldown period: Twenty-nine days)

[Spell-like Abilities: Dark Magic, Low-Light Vision, Identification Skill]

[Spell Runes: Second Ring·Water Element Enhancement Technique (Entry Level 53%), Second Ring·Water Healing Technique (Entry Level 10%), First Ring Weakness Technique (Entry Level 6%), One-Ring Water Blade Skill (Entry Level 9%), Zero-Ring Secret Rune (Entry Level 22%)]

The above reflects the progress in Udi’s abilities over the past six months. Notably, the panel’s information has become more detailed, even specifying the proficiency of each spell, which was previously absent.

Regarding spells, after acquiring the Second Ring·Water Healing Technique used for healing injuries, Udi didn’t seek new spells from Kadan and the Higlind family, opting instead to trade materials from demons and beasts for a hundred and forty-two Subordinate Magic Crystals.

These Subordinate Magic Crystals haven’t been consumed yet, but preserved to attract elements and enhance his magic refinement speed.

Once his Mage Level reaches Level 5, allowing him to learn Third Ring Spells, he plans to trade these magic crystals through Kadan with the Higlind family.
