Farming with Entries: From Lord to Emperor-Chapter 453 - 246: Another Dragon? (2)
"Her name is Celia. She used to be a hunter but later on didn’t like hunting, so she applied to join the farm instead."
Tyr took the initiative to introduce her.
"Hmm."
Luo De, somewhat curious, stared at Celia to see how she tamed beasts.
Celia took out a handful of fodder and walked straight towards the wild ox.
When she was about fifty or sixty meters away, the wild ox suddenly raised its head, let out a low roar, pawed the ground uneasily, its horns glinting coldly.
Celia was unafraid, steadily approaching, gently waving the fodder in her hand.
Soon after, Luo De felt a distinct energy fluctuation,
"Hmm?"
Luo De stared at Celia, secretly wondering,
"Is this... a witch?!"
Luo De immediately realized.
No wonder they are all women. These three tamers are likely the witches people talk about, right?
What kind of type are they?
Enchantment?
Did my keyword effects awaken their talents, causing them to suddenly awaken?
Or did they originally have a bit of witch quality, which my keyword effects then confirmed the evolution direction for?
But none of this matters.
Luo De put aside the thoughts in his mind and watched carefully.
The fodder in Celia’s hand carried a peculiar calming power, and the wild ox’s low roar gradually subsided, its pawing of the ground gradually ceased.
Its nostrils flared, slowly moving closer to the fodder, sniffing at the magic aura.
The wild ox hesitated for a moment, finally opening its mouth and extending its tongue to roll the fodder into its mouth.
And Celia also slowly extended her hand to stroke the ox’s head.
"Success!"
Tyr exclaimed joyfully, "I didn’t expect magical beasts could be tamed, they are amazing!"
"Hmm, quite impressive."
Luo De admired approvingly, "There are exactly three more wild oxen, let the other two have a try as well."
Luo De wanted to know if the other two were also the witches he speculated.
"Yes, my lord!"
Tyr immediately responded.
Before she could arrange it, Vivian beside Luo De suddenly spoke,
"Baron, there’s a big one near Gray Snake Canyon!"
...
...
Forest outside Gray Snake Canyon.
Luo De stared at the dark cave, with the White Wolf, Rein, and Seronie by his side.
According to the report from the third patrol team of the Northern Territory, the situation here is far more serious than the mutated wild oxen.
There’s that giant snake here.
"It’s that familiar scent."
The White Wolf’s nose twitched.
Since licking dragon blood, the White Wolf’s fur became shinier, and its gaze revealed fierceness.
The White Wolf felt that its level might soon increase.
Luo De proposed giving it some dragon blood, but the White Wolf said the previous dose hadn’t fully merged yet, and it had to be taken slowly; too much would only waste it.
As for the White Wolf, it understood its condition the best; naturally, Luo De didn’t meddle.
"But there’s some unfamiliar scent mixed in..."
"Familiar yet unfamiliar?"
Luo De slightly frowned, turning to Martin, "Where are the scales you reported?"
"Inside the cave, about twenty or thirty meters deep," Martin immediately replied.
Luo De waved his hand, "Fire a round of flaming arrows, let me see what’s inside..."
Just as Luo De’s words fell, there was a commotion from inside the cave!
Thud, thud, thud—
The sound approached from far away, bit by bit moving towards the cave entrance!
"Fall back, prepare for combat!"
Luo De ordered sternly, quickly arranging the team in formation.
Having fought a true dragon, Luo De wasn’t nervous at all, mostly curious about what was inside the cave.
The hunting team and Frost Iron Guard on site felt the same.
Only the patrol squad’s soldiers, their hands trembling as they gripped their bows.
Perhaps sensing the murderous aura at the cave entrance, the footsteps inside abruptly stopped.
The forest fell into sudden silence.
"Come out, I know you’re in there."
After a long pause, Luo De first spoke,
"Whether you’re planning an ambush or are afraid, but living in my territory, I cannot ignore you."
Luo De’s voice rang out loudly.
Soon after, the footsteps started again.
However, they were softer than before.
A moment later, an enormous dragon head emerged from the dark cave, its earth-gold vertical pupils cautiously observing the surroundings.
The previously fearless hunters and Frost Iron Guard instinctively took a step back.
But reason brought them back to stance.
"Another dragon?"
Luo De frowned tightly, unleashing the aura of a Dragon Slayer, sweeping towards the cave entrance!
The enormous dragon head instantly retracted into the cave, followed by a chaotic sound of footsteps.
"Hmm?"
Luo De was clearly taken aback, "Ran away?"
So timid?
Luo De was speechless for a moment.
Originally wanted to intimidate a bit, but didn’t expect them to run away directly...
The White Wolf twitched its nose,
"Shouldn’t have gone far."
"Alright."
Luo De walked into the cave somewhat helplessly, and shouted loudly again, "Come out, I’ve withdrawn my aura, no malicious intent."
Luo De’s voice echoed in the cave and disappeared into oblivion.
"Come out."
Luo De controlled his tone as much as possible, "Otherwise, I’ll have to come in and find you."
As soon as this sentence was finished, footsteps sounded again in the cave.
However, softer than before.
Moments later, a huge figure crawled out of the cave.
The head was a dragon’s head, covered in dense scales, a gray-brown color like rock.
If it closed its eyes and stayed still, Luo De thought it was a lifelike statue.
The entire length was about seven meters, width about three meters, and its thick limbs were like stone pillars carved with scales.
Luo De was surprised to see that this creature didn’t have the majestic dragon wings, but only bony spikes like cool skin stone pillars on its back.
It resembled a five-part giant lizard, but not as flattened as a lizard.
It also resembled a three-part flood dragon, but not as slender as a flood dragon.
"Hmm..."
Luo De stared at the creature crawling on the ground, "No wonder you’re so timid, turns out you’re not a true dragon."
Without turning his head, Luo De directly instructed Vivian, "Have you found out what it is?"
"Sister is investigating."
Vivian replied softly.
Before coming, Avril was ready, as soon as they saw the creature in the cave, Avril would transmit the information.
"Found it."
"Earth Dragon, sub-dragon species, wingless."
"The core ability of Earth Dragons is excavation and underground control."
"They possess strong and precise forelimbs and chest muscles, capable of spiraling through soil and rock like drills, creating deep wells and nests."
"Powerful Earth Dragons can even rely on magic power resonances to shatter underground rock veins, causing localized collapses or sudden ground fissures."
"Additionally, Earth Dragons have earth vein sensing, earth-element affinity, and even petrification breath abilities."
...
Vivian whispered the Earth Dragon information to Luo De one by one.
Luo De nodded slightly, looking at the creature in front, feeling unexpectedly pleased,
"Are you an Earth Dragon?"
The creature on the ground crawled, shrunken neck, whole body evidently stiff.
"Don’t be nervous."
Luo De adjusted his tone, speaking as softly as possible, "I mean, can you burrow?"
The creature on the ground raised its head, looking at Luo De, with a hint of fear in its earth-gold vertical pupils.
Then nodded.
"Since that’s the case, then follow me."
Luo De looked at the Earth Dragon, speaking in a tone of recruiting, "I’ll take care of you, you just need to work for me."
An earth-burrowing Earth Dragon has many uses.
Engineering construction, tunnel excavation; it should be more skilled than the Snow Rabbit People.
The Earth Dragon tilted its head, staring at Luo De without responding for a long time.
Seeing the Earth Dragon hesitating, Luo De shook his head helplessly.
Seems like even if timid, dragons still have some pride after all.
Then we have to use the primal method.
Luo De’s face tightened, the aura of the Dragon Slayer burst instantly, drawing Ashbringer and pointing it at the Earth Dragon,
"Submit, or die!"
An invisible pressure surged from Luo De, continuously rising, as if an invisible giant dragon roared behind him!
The surrounding soldiers’ faces turned pale, knees weakened watching Luo De!
That’s because Luo De’s target wasn’t them!
Looking back at the center of the pressure, the Earth Dragon’s body was completely stiff, head stuck to the ground, utterly immobile!
This is the terrifying majesty of a true dragon, a bloodline suppression against ordinary sub-dragons!
No matter where, dragon progeny, sub-dragons, dragon beasts, must serve true dragons!
The Earth Dragon no longer hesitated, head shaking up and down against the ground in agreement!
"That’s more like it."
Luo De nodded in satisfaction, easing most of the pressure, smiling at the Earth Dragon,
"From now on, you’re the main force of the engineering team."
...
...
Western Northern Wasteland.
A long trading caravan slowly stepped into Long Winter Town.
In front of the Lord Manor, the lord of Long Winter Town stood on the stone steps, draped in a cloak etched with his crest, hands clasped in front of his abdomen.
Seeing the war horse adorned with the Red Griffin emblem halt on the muddy road, he stepped down two steps, nodded slightly in greeting.
"I am Sloer Shieldbreaker, Lord of Long Winter Town."
The lord’s voice wasn’t loud, yet clear enough for all to hear,
"Welcome, ambassador from the Red Griffin Family, Long Winter Town has prepared warmth and drinks for you."
