Chapter 346: Chapter 346: Above the Smoke Sea
Whoosh~
The fierce wind howled in the sky above Valyria, relentlessly filling the ears of the two riders. Viserys lay on the dragon's back, while Mia clung tightly to his waist from behind, terrified of falling from the sky.
Mia's first experience riding a dragon was not very pleasant, as there was a much larger creature chasing them relentlessly from behind.
"Why is it chasing us?"
The girl clung tightly to Viserys's waist, not daring to loosen her grip, and shouted over the wind.
Then she got a mouthful of the gale, which made her cough violently.
"Why do you think? The black-haired monsters below are chasing us, and that's why it's chasing us now."
Viserys's hands tightly gripped the handle on the dragon's back. The howling wind filled their ears. Even though they were very close together, so close that they could feel the softness of each other's backs, Viserys still had to shout to make Mia hear him.
Chasing behind Balerion was an even larger dragon. Balerion's growth rate had been very fast, growing to a length of thirty to forty meters in just two or three years.
However, the longer the length, the larger the volume, and the slower Balerion's growth rate became. But his growth still steadily outpaced his two brothers by three times.
Balerion's size now definitely made him a true ruler of the sky. However, if he had been born a few hundred years ago, on the eve of the Doom of Valyria, when the grand empire was at its peak before it collapsed, his size would have been considered average.
There were hundreds of dragons on the Valyrian Peninsula, and the size of the dragons grew with their age, seemingly without limit.
The oldest dragons in Valyria even exceeded two hundred meters.
Compared to these dragon ancestors, Balerion was truly like a small worm.
The dragon that was now chasing them seemed to be only forty to fifty meters long, but it was still much larger than Balerion.
The survivors of the Doom of Valyria had transformed into black-haired monsters, and the dragons that once lived on this land naturally survived as well.
They were enveloped in a thick black fog, seemingly affected by the fog, losing their senses and becoming a strange state between death and survival. Viserys couldn't tell whether they were alive or dead.
"It must have been attracted by Balerion."
Viserys said.
The dragon did not appear when the exploration team entered the city of Valyria.
It was only when Balerion descended from the sky and roared that it was disturbed and flew over.
Viserys held tightly to the saddle, the fierce wind making the girl behind him squint. However, Viserys was doing better, his extraordinary physique enhancing all aspects of his physical condition, allowing him to keep his eyes open even in the face of such a gale.
Whoosh~
Then his silver-gold hair danced wildly in the wind. Viserys, holding onto the saddle, turned his head to look back again.
In the distance.
A column of black smoke rising into the sky was still continuously spewing black fog.
Like a volcanic eruption, the fog that filled Valyria and even the entire smoke sea seemed to originate from there.
"What on earth is that?"
Viserys didn't know what it had been like in the past few hundred years, but now it seemed to have become very active.
The turmoil in the smoke sea outside seemed to originate from here. He had a strong feeling that the secret of the Doom of Valyria was hidden there
.
Then Viserys took a deep breath and turned to look at the relentless deep green dragon in the sky.
Its blood-red eyes were filled with black smoke and it was still chasing them relentlessly, and the distance seemed to be getting closer and closer.
"It seems we can't escape."
Viserys's heart sank a little. He conveyed his will to Balerion, asking for its opinion, as the core of this battle was Balerion, not himself.
However, although Balerion couldn't speak, it conveyed a very strong will instantly, and its fighting spirit kept rising.
Even though the opponent was larger, it was enraged and wanted to tear the opponent apart completely.
"Heh—"
The black dragon kept flapping its wings, letting out a low roar from its mouth, and the light from the gaps in its scales became more and more frequent with its heavy breathing.
"Good!"
Viserys got Balerion's reply. It expressed a strong will to fight to the death with the opponent, and Viserys naturally wouldn't hold Balerion back.
The dragon and the dragon rider are partners who help and complement each other.
"Balerion, let's take it down together!"
Viserys, riding on the dragon's back, gave the order, and at the same time told Mia, who was behind him, to hold on tight to him. He probably wouldn't be able to look after her next.
And Balerion, having received Viserys's affirmative reply, became even more excited.
"Roar—"
A pair of blood-red eyes were filled with astonishing fighting spirit. The wings that covered the sky and sun drew an arc in the sky, and it let out a deafening roar.
Now, the two dragons, one chasing and one fleeing, were far away from the city of Valyria. They appeared in the sky above the smoke sea.
This place should be much safer. There won't be other dragons from Valyria attracted here, so Viserys dared to fight to the death with the opponent here.
"Go!"
Then Viserys gave the order again.
Balerion, without any fear, dived towards the dragon that was even larger than him.
Under the gray sky, the deep night shrouded the boiling sea. Gray fog kept surging up from under the sea, and the two dragons fighting in the sky above the smoke sea disturbed the inhabitants under the sea.
Whoosh~
Long tentacles swayed with the sea, and the huge head hid under the water, bobbing up and down.
At this moment, another huge creature slowly swam past it, seemingly stirring the sea. The sea monster's tentacles silently wrapped around the other's body.
However, this action angered the large whale, which immediately bit off many of the tentacles.
"Woo—"
The sea monster let out a melodious and piercing cry, and then the two sea monsters under the smoke sea started a fight.
And in the sky above.
The surging red flames illuminated the entire sky. Both dragons spewed out dragon flames that violently collided with each other. The scattered fire snakes fell down, becoming the most beautiful scenery in this sky.
"Roar—"
Then they both let out a roar of anger.
