Amidst the clouds, a pure white Bat Dragon could be seen. Every time it stomped its feet, the air would condense into a cannon and it would use the recoil to quickly charge forward.
From afar, every time the Bat Dragon charged forward, it looked like it was teleporting.
After charging forward a few times, the Bat Dragon suddenly stopped.
It felt as if its wings had brushed against some creature when it was charging forward. But when it turned around, it only saw the clouds and mist. There was no creature.
Was it just an illusion?
The Bat Dragon thought for a bit and still felt that something was wrong. Thus, it used its pig-like nose to sniff the air … but there was no suspicious smell.
It sniffed its wings again, but there was still no smell.
As a wind type creature, it was extremely sensitive to smells in the air. Since there was no smell, it meant that it was just being paranoid.
However, the feeling of 'brushing' against a soft creature was too real. As a cautious Bat Dragon, it decided to use a different method to investigate.
It raised its disc-like protruding ears, and waves of high-frequency sound waves spread outwards with it as the center.
It wanted to use the feedback of the sound wave to see if there was a hidden creature.
However, before it could find the hidden creature, it felt an extremely powerful wind force from the feedback of the sound wave. It was quickly approaching its position.
At first, it was still quite far away, but in less than two seconds, the wind force had already arrived.
The Bat Dragon raised its head and saw a beautiful, dreamy flying boat piercing through the sea of clouds at an astonishing speed.
Near the airship, the Bat Dragon sensed two extremely powerful forces of wind. This was definitely a creature that stood at the peak of the wind element!
It wasn't much weaker than the monarch of the wind element!
The Bat Dragon carefully sensed the source of the two wind forces. Suddenly, it seemed to have sensed something. Its figure flashed and it directly hid in the clouds, turning into an invisible wind.
As a wind type creature, the Bat Dragon shouldn't have been afraid of meeting outside. However, it was different this time because it recognized the identity of the newcomer.
One of the Four Great Wind Generals of Tempest Mountain Ridge!
Tempest Mountain Ridge's ambition to unify all the wind type territories had already been made clear. This time, the Bat Dragon had ended his journey outside and returned to the Long Breath Wind Cave from the nameless place. He wanted to pass on this news to His Highness You Feng.
It did not expect that it would encounter Lobel, one of the Four Great Wind Generals, before it even reached the Long Breath Wind Cave!
"Oh no, they're flying in this direction. They must have discovered me. What should I do? What should I do? "Hidden in the clouds, the Bat Dragon's heart was filled with despair. At this point, it had already forgotten that it had stopped to look for the hidden creature.
"Should I run?" Although that was what the bat dragon was thinking, it did not do so. It knew that with its speed, it would never be able to outrun Lobel. Instead, he might offend Lorber even more by running away.
As long as he cooperated, there shouldn't be any danger to his life.
Just as the Bat Dragon was thinking this, a gust of wind suddenly blew in the distance. It knew … Lobel had come.
The Bat Dragon subconsciously closed its eyes and put on an obedient expression of submission.
However, what it didn't expect was that the hurricane had come and gone. After staying silent for half a minute, the Bat Dragon opened its eyes and found that its surroundings were completely silent.
It raised its head and looked into the distance in a daze, only to see that the dream-like flying boat from before had already disappeared into the horizon. Not only did the boat not stop, but no wind creatures came to bother it either.
The Bat Dragon did not think that Lobel did not notice it.
In the current situation, there seemed to be only one possibility: it might have been ignored.
…
On the Gondola, Angor leaned against the railing and looked in the direction they came from.
"That big bat with a pig nose and round ears hiding in the clouds … Is it a wind creature?"
Lobel nodded. "Yes. It's a Wind Batdragon. It should have come from the Long Breath Wind Cave."
"How do you know that?" Angor looked at Lobel in surprise.
Lobel explained, "The Long Breath Wind Cave is located inside a mountain cave. Due to the environment, there's a high chance of a Wind Batdragon being born there. There are almost no records of a Wind Batdragon being born in other wind-type territories. "
Next, Lobel briefly explained the characteristics of the Wind Batdragon.
Angor was enlightened after hearing the explanation. Although it was called a Wind Batdragon, it was actually just an enlarged bat. Angor did not know that bats loved caves so much that they were also elemental creatures.
"That Wind Batdragon looked scared when it saw us," Angor muttered. The Gondola should not be that scary. Maybe the Wind Batdragon was scared of the creatures traveling with it.
Angor, Elmi, and Toby did not release their auras. Cubby and Dangros were only elemental spirits, so the Wind Batdragon was not scared of them.
The answer was obvious. The Wind Batdragon was scared of Lorbel and Soren.
"Wind creatures, but they didn't feel happy when they saw each other. Instead, they shivered in fear. Looks like Tempest Mountain really doesn't have much of a reputation. "Angor sighed.
Not long ago, Dangros sensed the presence of a fire creature in the valley and went to check it out. Despite knowing that the creature was not a traveling frog from the Fire Territory, Dangros was still worried about it. This was completely different from the situation of wind type creatures.
"They won't understand Mister Hurricane's grand plan," Lobel said.
"No matter how grand the plan is, it won't be worth mentioning when the Tidal Realm opens."
Lorber sighed and remained silent for a long time.
"Wait, that Wind Batdragon was hovering in the air when we saw it. Is that a Wind Batdragon's characteristic?"
Lobel shook his head. "Wind Batdragons don't hover in the air. It seemed to be sensing something. Maybe it sensed our arrival. "
Encountering the Wind Batdragon was just a small interlude, so Angor did not think too much about it.
Time flew by. The sky was dyed with the color of dusk.
Evening soon arrived.
Angor glanced at Toby, who was still observing Cubby. He patted the bird's head and said, "I'm going to take a rest. Wake me up if you need anything."
Of course, he didn't mean to sleep. Instead, he meant to enter the dream wasteland.
Toby knew what Angor meant and chirped to show that he understood.
Next, Angor asked Elmi to stay alert. Next, he disappeared from where he was and reappeared at the cabin door behind Gondola.
After closing the door, Angor looked at the two glass boxes embedded with rubies and sapphires.
Of the two glass boxes, one contained a fire-type traveling frog, and the other contained a water-type civet cat.
Of course, Angor did not make the glass boxes out of kindness. He even brought them along with him to help with the treatment.
He also wanted to use this chance to bring them into the dream wasteland. Firstly, he wanted to fulfill his promise to Dumartin. Secondly, he wanted to see what would happen to elemental creatures in the dream wasteland.
"I saved your lives, so it's time for me to reap the rewards." Angor reached out a finger and released a ray of dark light.
Nightmare Illusion Technique!
The ray of light shot out from his finger and went into the foreheads of the two creatures.
Angor waited patiently. He knew that elemental creatures would rest when they were tired, but he never heard that they could dream. He wasn't sure if Nightmare Dream would work on elemental creatures or not.
He didn't have to wait for long before he saw two white tentacles coming out of the foreheads of the two creatures.
"Dream Tentacles." Angor sighed in relief. The tentacles meant that the two elemental creatures could reach the dream bridge. As long as the tentacles entered the dream bridge, they would be transported to the other side.
When the tentacles came out of their foreheads, nightmare aura slowly covered their bodies. The tentacles slowly disappeared as if they had entered a bottomless abyss.
Angor couldn't tell from their appearance, but he knew that the two elemental creatures' consciousness had entered the dream bridge.
Angor quickly closed his eyes and focused his mind on the power of Dream Gate.
Using the power of Dream Gate, he could clearly sense two dream bridges leading to the dream wasteland that was floating in the darkness.
Angor accepted the connection.
The dream bridges immediately extended until they reached the light gate of the dream wasteland.
About a minute later, two figures stepped onto the bridge at the same time.
It was the traveling frog and the civet.
However, Angor was surprised to see that the two creatures had the same body shape. One of them was emitting a strong flame, while the other looked normal. However, water droplets were dripping from its body.
This was completely different from when a human stepped onto a dream bridge.
The characteristics of elemental creatures were already shown on the dream bridge.
"Will they also show the characteristics of elemental creatures when they enter the dream wasteland?" Angor pondered. If they could really display their elemental properties, wouldn't they be considered supernatural creatures in the Expanse as well?
Even wizards would be no different from mortals in the dream wasteland without the help of artificial mana. However, if elemental creatures could also control elemental energy, they would be different from the beginning.
Angor gave the two creatures a meaningful look and entered the dream wasteland with great anticipation.
Angor appeared on one of the streets of the new city.
Although there were the silhouettes of tall buildings on both sides of the street, they were basically just foundations. The upper floors were still just skeletons. A large number of apprentices stood on the skeletons, looking at the construction plans while holding magic scrolls and controlling the power of earth to perfect the appearance of the buildings.
Some skilled craftsmen were also doing their best to carve the decorations on both sides of the street.
Angor's sudden appearance attracted the attention of the apprentices.
As a legendary figure in Brute Cavern, Angor quickly rose to the top of the pyramid and became an idol among the apprentices. Therefore, his identity was recognized by all the apprentices.
Because of that, the apprentices became even more excited. After all, Angor rarely showed up in Brute Cavern. Every time someone saw him, he would become a hot topic among the apprentices.
However, their excitement didn't last long. A pair of cold eyes looked up from below.
"You don't like construction tasks, do you? Do you want me to give you a few? " It was clearly a smiling expression, but coupled with the elegant tone of a noble, it made everyone feel a chill run down their spines.
Almost all the apprentices knew who the speaker was. However, unlike Angor's fame, Angor was someone they admired, wanted to get close to, and followed. But this man who just spoke was someone they wished they would never see again.
It was "Miniature World" Dumartin.
Even though Dumartin's job rewards were great, nine out of ten of them would end up with their heads cut off.
Even a simple glance from a head-cutting maniac like Dumartin was enough to silence all the apprentices.
The uproar caused by Angor's arrival was instantly silenced. None of the acolytes dared to look down.
Angor stepped forward. "Just a glance and a few words. That's Wizard Bayer for you."
"Like I said last time, Wizard Bayer is too formal. Just call me Dumartin," Dumartin said.
After a short pause, Dumartin continued, "You didn't show up earlier or later, but instead appeared in front of me. Do you have something to tell me?"
Angor nodded. He came to this street because he sensed Dumartin's location.
"I do have something to tell you," Angor said. "Do you have time?"
"You're already here. I don't think I have time." Dumartin said, "So, what do you want?"
Angor didn't speak right away. He looked around and said, "This isn't a good place for them to come. Come with me."
With that, Angor summoned a gust of wind using his Celestial Shift ability, which carried him and Dumartin away.
With the help of the wind, Angor and Dumartin arrived at a grassy area in half a minute.
They were at the outskirts of the new city, where there was a bubbling stream nearby.
Dumartin didn't ask why Angor brought him here. Instead, he tidied up his messy clothes and waited for Angor's explanation.
However, Angor didn't say anything. Instead, he asked Dumartin to wait patiently.
About two minutes later, their wait finally paid off.
However, Dumartin didn't know what to do.
In just a few seconds, there was a 360-degree change in the originally bright and beautiful sky. The dark clouds rolled over. Although there was no thunder or lightning, the dark clouds were only a few hundred meters high, which gave Dumartin an inexplicable pressure.
Drip. Drip.
The first drop of rain fell from the sky.
Soon, the rain changed from a drizzling state to a torrential downpour.
Luckily, they were in an energy zone, so Dumartin used his illusory mana to create a small, waterproof force field. Otherwise, they would be completely soaked.
Dumartin looked at Angor with a puzzled expression. "You asked me to come here just to watch the rain?"
