There were many exotic flowers and herbs on this island.
Unfortunately, Søren didn't know much about the "Herbology" branch of Alchemy, so he couldn't identify the medicinal properties of these plants. He took his men around the island from the side, and he could feel that the closer they got to the north of the island, the lower the temperature was. This was a very rare phenomenon, probably due to the geothermal heat emitted by the volcano in the south of the island. The north of the island was covered with ice and snow, but it was mainly concentrated in one area. Søren judged that it was most likely the white dragon's nest.
Because there was a dragon living here, it was almost impossible to see any other beasts.
Søren and his men walked for about half an hour before they finally got close to the snow-covered mountain. The surrounding cliffs were very smooth and steep, and they were also covered with a layer of ice. It didn't look like a natural situation, but more like a deliberate arrangement by some creatures. Dragons liked to make their nests as steep as ninety-degree mountain walls, so that other creatures that could not fly would not be able to get close to them. As for the White Dragons, whose abilities were slightly weaker than the other Giant Dragons, they also liked to use their Dragon Breath to cover the vicinity of their lairs with ice.
This kind of ice would make it very difficult to climb around the cliffs, and any enemy that dared to challenge it near its nest would be negatively affected by the "Ice Walk" status. They would have to do a reflex appraisal related to Agility when moving, or they might slip and make mistakes in their attacks. However, white dragons didn't have such a problem because they were born with a special ability called "Ice Walk". The Ice Quetzalcoatlus that Søren fought in the past had part of the white dragon's bloodline, so they also liked to cover their nests with ice. [Details in Volume 1]
"Hide."
Søren gestured to the other men behind him and said in a deep voice, "You guys stay nearby. I will find a way to lure the white dragon out of its nest, and then you guys find a chance to attack its wings with heavy javelins. "
Heavy weapons had a natural armor penetration ability.
It could be simply understood that heavy weapons were much better than ordinary swords to deal with a knight's plate armor. These heavy javelins had a hidden armor penetration ability. It might be a little difficult to throw them out to break the dragon's scales, but it was quite easy to break the dragon's wings. There were obvious barbs on the javelins, which looked similar to the barbs on a spear. Some of the javelins were even connected to a chain, while the other end was a heavy steel javelin. What kind of weapon, if used properly, could lock a dragon's wings and make it completely lose its ability to fly?
Unless the dragon forcibly tore off the javelin along with the flesh of the dragon's wings!
"Shadow Hide!"
Søren's figure slowly disappeared into the shadows. He scanned his surroundings and approached the mountain wall on his right. Because it was covered with a layer of ice, the entire mountain wall was very smooth. If it was anyone else, it would be impossible to climb up. However, for Søren, who had 25 points of Agility, this wasn't a problem at all. A pair of daggers appeared in his hands, and he quietly climbed up the mountain. Soon, he reached an open platform on the mountain wall.
This was a very big platform.
The diameter was probably more than 50 meters. It was difficult for nature to create such a neat platform. Søren just glanced at it and knew that it was prepared for him by the dragon. Dragons flew like eagles. They liked to swoop down from high places and soar into the sky with a flap of their wings. Therefore, many of them would prepare such a platform for themselves. Even the dragons that occupied ancient castles liked to swoop down from the highest point of the castle when they flew.
This was a habit!
After walking along the platform for a little distance to the left, Søren felt that something was wrong.
It was an indescribable feeling.
It was as if his whole body was involuntarily breathing heavily, his heart was beating faster, as if he was frightened. His back was covered with goosebumps, and there was an inexplicable sense of powerlessness and exhaustion. It felt like he had a bad cold, and his whole body was weak.
This was Draconic Aura!
Almost at the same time as this feeling appeared, a row of data appeared:
"Affected by Draconic Aura!"
"Triggered Test of Will! … Test of Will passed! … You have successfully avoided the negative effect of Draconic Aura! … You have successfully avoided the fear effect of Draconic Aura! … "
…
The feeling of powerlessness gradually subsided.
It didn't last long, and Søren gradually returned to normal.
One of the most troublesome things to deal with when slaying a dragon was the Draconic Aura of a pure-blooded dragon. This was a permanent ability that didn't need to be activated. It was also a natural ability that dragons had. They could exert their Draconic Aura on any creature that came within a certain range of them. This kind of Draconic Aura ignored both friend and foe. Although it couldn't directly kill the enemy, it could create a deterrent effect. It could be said that it was quite useful to deal with creatures that were weaker and didn't have strong wills.
Most of the dragons used Draconic Aura to open up a path for their slaves, and it was easy to subdue some monsters.
Ordinary people couldn't withstand Draconic Aura.
Therefore, using human wave tactics to deal with dragons wasn't necessarily useful. This was because the sight of a dragon would frighten many ordinary soldiers, and they wouldn't be able to fight in the end. The specific effect could be imagined as a Tyrannosaurus Rex or a group of wild elephants rushing towards you, and then you would have a long sword and a shield in your hands. In this situation, if you had the courage to stand still and fight, then your Will would definitely pass. If you couldn't do this, you might fail to resist Draconic Aura. (Will assessment 16 +!)
Søren was a person who valued the Will attribute very much, so it wasn't surprising that he was immune to the negative effects of Draconic Aura. However, whether the pirates he brought along could successfully resist the negative effects of Draconic Aura would depend on whether their Will was strong enough. However, people who sailed on the sea all year round, withstood the storms and waves, and often faced the dangers of killing and fighting sea monsters would definitely have a stronger Will than others.
Will was really important!
Ever since Søren went to the Abyss of Hell, he deeply understood this point.
From the side to the entrance of the dragon's cave, Søren quickly found his target. It was a huge adult white dragon.
The depth of the dragon's cave wasn't very high.
In fact, adult dragons were more impatient. They sometimes appeared a little careless, just like young people who had just reached adulthood who were easily impulsive. Only when they entered their old age would they begin to become cunning. At that time, they began to avoid direct combat and liked to use traps to deal with intruders. Their dragon's cave would gradually become a huge maze over a long period of time, and then the treasures would begin to be hidden deeper and deeper. Some dangerous monster guards would also begin to appear in the maze, such as the most common Tauren and so on.
As for ancient dragons, just think of the Ancient Red Dragon in Whiterun City.
Until now, other people thought that it was just an adult Red Dragon that appeared there. It was estimated that it would take a while for others to discover that there was an Ancient Red Dragon hidden there. Then, it would cause a huge uproar in the Southern Plains and cause a lot of panic. At that time, it would be a big scene, but Søren didn't know if the development of the situation would be the same as what he knew in the past. If there were conditions, he would still try his luck in the future because there was a Divine Artifact in this Ancient Red Dragon's cave.
White Dragon.
The weakest of the Chromatic Dragons, a creature of the Chaotic Evil Alignment.
The dragon's cave in front of him was similar to the one in Søren's memory. White Dragons liked to dig their dragon's nest down. Although the dragon's nest was on a higher mountain, the cave's entrance was sunken downwards, and the surroundings were frozen because of its Ice Dragon Breath. It looked like a huge ice cellar. White Dragons were not picky when it came to food. Like other dragons, they could eat almost anything. The digestive ability of dragons was as brittle as steel. However, White Dragons preferred to freeze their prey with their Dragon Breath before eating it. Many White Dragons lived in overseas areas and would dive into the sea to hunt for fish.
There was one more important thing!
White Dragons were the dragons that liked to attack from high places the most, and they would always use their Dragon Breath for their first attack.
This was because White Dragons could use their Dragon Breath more than other dragons!
When a White Dragon was in its infant stage, its scales would reflect light like a mirror. As it grew older, the luster would gradually disappear. When it reached adulthood, the characteristics of a White Dragon would become grayish-white. This was an important basis to judge the strength of a White Dragon. Søren only glanced into the dragon's cave and roughly judged that this was a White Dragon that was in its late adult stage. It was close to its prime.
Most of the dragons could be judged based on age.
Their strength could be calculated based on their age. Their growth stages were Baby Dragon Stage (Challenge Rating 1), Infant Dragon Stage (Challenge Rating 4), Juvenile Dragon Stage (Challenge Rating 7), Adolescent Dragon Stage (Challenge Rating 10), Adult Dragon Stage (Challenge Rating 13), Adult Dragon Stage (Challenge Rating 16), Old Dragon Stage (Challenge Rating 19) and Old Dragon Stage (Challenge Rating 21).
Basically, a White Dragon would reach this stage.
Further up were the Ancient Dragons. These dragons basically had Divinity. It could be said that the difficulty of fighting them was not much different from challenging the Saints. Therefore, killing Ancient Dragons and Ancient Dragons required a lot of luck.
The White Dragon in front of him was transitioning from its Adult Stage to its Prime Stage!
This was not good news.
This was because pure-blooded dragons, even the weakest White Dragon among the Pentashade Dragons, would have an additional Physical Resistance and Magic Resistance when they transitioned from their Adult Stage to their Prime Stage. They would be immune to any Physical Damage and Magic Damage below 10 points. This natural talent would gradually increase over time, and in the end, it could evolve into immunity to certain types of damage. Fortunately, when these dragons were killed, their dragon scales and dragon skin would inherit part of the defensive resistance, which could be directly made into first-rate Rare Grade equipment.
This was a little troublesome!
Soran quietly watched the adult white dragon, which was about 50 feet long, in his sight, and carefully moved towards it.
