章 340: Chapter 340: The Soldiers of Valyria
If it were just him alone dealing with these monsters, it wouldn't be difficult. But now, carrying the girl on his back, he was clearly hindered.
"Put me down, Viserys," Mia, who was being carried by Viserys, said weakly.
Viserys had already saved her life once, and she was grateful for that. She didn't want to involve Viserys because of her.
She knew very well how troublesome it was to flee in such a dangerous environment with a burden.
However, Viserys's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and without turning his head, he simply said in a low voice, "Shut up."
The monster facing Viserys could no longer bear it. Even though there was a strong sense of danger from him, it let out a roar and pounced.
The monsters in the ruins of Valyria seemed to be under a curse of gluttony. Every monster Viserys encountered looked as if it was starving.
Viserys, facing the dangerous situation, was very calm. He drew the long sword from his waist and narrowly dodged the monster as it was about to pounce.
Then, the long sword in his hand easily pierced the monster's neck.
Blood spurted out, black fog entered the body, and Viserys kicked the body away.
The other monsters also pounced together. Viserys tightly held Mia's arm, took a deep breath, and then the two of them turned into a cloud of black fog and disappeared on the spot.
"Roar—"
The several ferocious monsters that had pounced collided with each other, looking at the empty spot and letting out confused roars.
Viserys and Mia's figures, composed of black fog, reappeared outside the dilapidated house ruins.
The range of Valyria city is vast. Viserys and Mia only appeared in the outermost civilian area. Looking from here, there are more palace ruins in the depths of the city.
That's where the nobles of the Freehold lived.
The Valyrian Freehold was neither a kingdom nor an empire. All Valyrian people had a say in governance.
But in fact, only the ancient forty families of Valyria had the qualifications to compete for the rule of the Freehold.
The Targaryen family was one of the forty families of Valyria, but at that time, the strength of the Targaryen family was only minor within the Freehold.
Therefore, the Targaryen family also had a palace in Valyria city.
However, the data about that year was lost in the turmoil of King's Landing hundreds of years ago.
After so many years of historical changes, the information left on Dragonstone Island for Viserys to read is not much.
He is not sure about the location of the Targaryen family palace in the city now. If he can find the location of the family palace, Viserys would consider this trip worthwhile.
The girl on Viserys's back once again opened her mouth wide, her face full of disbelief.
"What is this?"
This time she truly felt the magical power.
When the black fog repaired her body and snatched her back from death, she didn't know because she had fainted.
But this time, Mia watched as Viserys and she turned into black fog.
Then, like flowing water, they freely flowed in the air, passed through the hole above the cellar, passed through the window, appeared in the alley outside the ruins, and then recondensed.
This feeling was truly amazing!
"Is this the magic you use to control dragons?"
The girl asked in a weak voice,
shocked.
Viserys turned his head to look at her, but didn't explain anything.
The ability to turn into black fog wasn't just about him turning into a cloud of black fog, but everything he touched within a certain range could also turn into black fog and wander in the air with him.
This is why his clothes and weapons were still intact after he turned into a cloud of black fog, otherwise, they would all be left behind.
However, at this moment, the roar of monsters came from behind. It seemed that they had picked up the scent of the two again and were chasing after them.
The silver-haired young man didn't hesitate, carrying the burden on his back, he turned and fled.
Several monsters chased at a fast pace, climbing over the ruins of the walls, and a human carrying another human disappeared in an instant.
...
The sky gradually darkened.
Night fell.
The dim moonlight pierced the fog and fell on the ancient and mysterious city ruins.
The surroundings were silent, and even the chirping of insects and birds couldn't be heard.
Viserys, carrying Mia, moved through the ruins of Valyria city. They had escaped the monsters' pursuits time and time again.
They also encountered other members of the expedition team, but the number of humans was getting fewer and fewer.
Then the two of them, in their panic, ended up deep in the city ruins.
They had reached the center of Valyria city.
They fled into the ruins of a grand palace. The monsters that were active on the outskirts of the city chased them here, but they seemed to dare not continue chasing.
They thought they could finally breathe a sigh of relief here, but the two of them made a new discovery.
"This is..."
Viserys, pulling the girl, hid in the shadows, looking at the scene not far away, his pupils involuntarily contracted.
"How is this possible?"
"Are they... alive?"
"No… no, they're already dead."
He saw a row of 'soldiers' covered in black fur.
Their faces were unclear, covered in black hair that obscured their noses and mouths, only a pair of crimson eyes were clearly visible.
They were wearing tattered armor and holding weapons, patrolling the interior of the palace in a disciplined manner, as if controlled by something, round and round, seemingly never tired.
And they were emitting a black fog that Viserys was very familiar with.
"These monsters... were they humans before?" Mia, who was also lying next to Viserys, asked in disbelief, her voice lowered.
Both of them had smeared a lot of monster blood on their bodies, temporarily suppressing the scent of living creatures on them, which played a bit of a concealment role.
This was the experience the two had gained from being constantly hunted. Now, Mia's injuries had healed a lot, she no longer needed Viserys to carry her all the time, she could walk independently.
"Obviously."
Viserys also lowered his voice, his eyebrows furrowed as he spoke.
Monsters wouldn't wear armor.
And Viserys had speculated before that these monsters might be the previous residents of Valyria or their descendants, affected by some curse or unimaginable change.
They eventually became these black-haired monsters that lost their sanity.
