The distance between them was getting closer and closer.
Søren's footsteps were getting lighter and lighter, and his speed was getting slower and slower. Dragons had excellent hearing abilities. Even with Søren's high Dexterity, it was still possible for the dragon to detect him sneaking in. Fortunately, it was a white dragon in front of him. It didn't have a high level of magic, and only had some spell-like abilities. Otherwise, Søren would have to be careful of magic traps when sneaking in. Once a dragon's nest had evolved into a maze over time, there would definitely be a lot of traps.
The adult dragon in front of him seemed to be sleeping, but that didn't mean it couldn't sense the outside world.
Sleeping was a very important process in a dragon's life. They still retained about 50% of their basic abilities while sleeping, and could sense other creatures approaching or slightly heavier footsteps. While sleeping, the dragon's abilities would gradually increase, and at the same time, its injuries would recover at a faster rate. This required it to eat a lot of prey in advance. Søren saw that the adult white dragon was recovering from its injuries. He noticed that there was a wound on the left wing of the white dragon. The wound was about 30 centimeters long and 5 centimeters deep. It seemed to be caused by a two-handed heavy sword.
This would affect the white dragon's ability to fly!
Then there was another wound on the white dragon's throat. There were small, dense scales there. The seemingly weak defense was actually the toughest part of the dragon's body. It was difficult for ordinary weapons to break through. The one who attacked it must have used a long sword or a rapier. The wound was small, but it was very deep. It seemed that the person who attacked it had a dragon-slaying weapon. When dealing with any pure-blooded dragon, you could imagine that most of its body was covered in full-body armor.
In the anecdotes of bards, there was always a place on the dragon's body called the reverse scale. This was the dragon's fatal point. As long as you hit the reverse scale, you could kill the dragon even if it didn't hurt its heart.
But in reality, dragons didn't have reverse scales.
They had weak spots on their body, but they definitely didn't have a fatal reverse scale. No one knew when it started, but there was this saying in the bards' stories. Many people believed it to be true, and many naive adventurers thought that they could easily slay a dragon if they found the reverse scale. After all, the stories always said that the hero hit the dragon's fatal point and killed it instantly.
"Its defense must be at least 25!"
Søren closed the distance to about twenty meters and observed the body of the adult White Dragon in front of him, mainly the color, thickness, and distribution of the scales. Based on his rich experience, Søren could tell that the Adult Giant Dragon in front of him had a defense level of around 25 points. In other words, the dragon scales and dragon skin that covered the surface of its body could resist close to 25 points of physical damage.
This defensive strength was equivalent to an adult man holding a weapon with both hands and attacking with all his strength.
In other words.
An adult man wielding a two-handed weapon and attacking with all his might might only be able to break through the dragon's defense.
It was just enough to break through his defense, and the damage was probably less than 3 points!
Søren had a serious expression on his face as he sneaked closer to the other side. At the same time, he thought to himself, "With the elite pirates that I brought with me, it shouldn't be a problem to break through its dragon scale defense. But if it doesn't deal any heavy damage, it's estimated that the damage will be in the single digits."
This was not a good thing.
It was not easy to kill an adult Giant Dragon with just Søren's damage output alone.
Following the side of the dragon's nest, Søren could see a pile of treasures. Because there were not many of them, they were directly covered by the huge body of the Giant Dragon. As the weakest White Dragon among the Chromatic Dragons, although it had accumulated wealth to adulthood and had double to triple the loot standard, the treasures it had were not as exaggerated as the Red Dragon's.
Because the Red Dragon was the most powerful Chromatic Dragon, and it was also an evil Giant Dragon that liked to collect loot.
However.
In front of Søren's eyes, there were some small things that were sparkling and refracting light.
Those were diamonds!
The White Dragon was one of the Giant Dragons that liked diamonds the most. As long as they found a diamond, they would always find a way to take it for themselves, unless this behavior was very dangerous. Among all the gems, the White Dragon liked diamonds the most. Therefore, in almost any adult White Dragon's nest, there were some eye-catching diamonds that could be found. Therefore, in the treasure that the White Dragon did not seem to be rich, it was often possible to hide a valuable loot. The key was the number of diamonds.
After all, this thing could be sold for a very high price as long as one piece!
There was not much gold in the dragon's nest.
Because it was close to the sea, Søren could hardly see much Kindler. Most of it was fine gold sand and gold nuggets. There were not many gems, but there were a lot of diamonds mixed in. Søren saw nearly a dozen pieces.
There was a moment of pause.
Søren squatted in the corner and memorized the environment of the entire dragon's nest. At the same time, his brain began to make tactical arrangements.
He had two plans.
The first was to take advantage of the fact that the Giant Dragon had not discovered him and quickly pull out the legendary curved sword Icingdeath to attack. As long as the distance was within ten meters, even if the dragon's perception found him, Søren could still fight for two or three opportunities to attack. If he was lucky enough to hit the leader's vital point, Søren could cause a lot of damage to the enemy at the beginning of the battle.
But in this case, the next battle would not be easy.
Because the space in the dragon's nest was too narrow, the White Dragon would definitely spit out dragon's breath when it reacted. At that time, Søren would have nowhere to hide.
Never take the dragon's breath head-on!
This was a special point in the rules of dragon slaying.
The second plan was to lure the White Dragon out so that there would be no chance for a sneak attack. But it could also make the White Dragon think that he was a thief who sneaked into the dragon's nest. Under normal circumstances, the White Dragon would definitely chase him out of the nest. In this way, Søren could lead it down and give the ambushing elite pirates a chance to attack.
If he could keep the White Dragon on the ground, the final victory would be as high as 80%!
…
Soon.
Søren made a plan in his mind.
His figure suddenly flew out and rushed directly to the White Dragon in front of him. Then he reached out and grabbed the treasure under it, grabbing a lot of gold and diamonds in one breath. After getting the treasure, Søren immediately retreated. Almost when he was about five meters away from the treasure, the sleeping Giant Dragon also moved slightly as if it sensed something, and then suddenly opened its huge dragon eyes.
— — "Dragon Sense (10 meters)."
Søren's figure had almost escaped to the outside of the dragon's nest, and only a blurry background could be seen.
"Roar!"
An angry roar sounded!
The adult White Dragon in front of him suddenly opened its eyes and stood up. It actually opened its mouth and said angrily in the common language, "Despicable thief!"
It was not an ordinary White Dragon.
It was not those beast-like White Dragons without much wisdom. Being able to use the common language meant that there was something different about it.
