Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

The red dragon Drake is the ruler of the Dusk Mountain Range, with his lair deep within a massive volcanic crater. The nest is piled high with treasures of gold and silver and spoils left by conquered races. Drake’s breath carries a strong scent of fire and sulfur, and every roar he unleashes can trigger minor volcanic eruptions.

The powerful presence of the red dragon has altered the terrain at the mountain’s base, forming a unique lava plain. Though these areas are barren, they attract many heat-resistant magical creatures.

On the other hand, abundant mineral resources such as gold, diamonds, and sulfur lie near Drake’s lair, but these resources are nearly impossible for ordinary humans to mine, as they are heavily guarded by Drake’s minions and magic traps.

In villages near the Dusk Mountain Range, Drake is regarded as a being half-god, half-beast. Villagers both revere and fear him, offering tribute annually in hopes of gaining his protection.

Yet recently, this mighty giant dragon was provoked by a human knight, inciting his fury. His thunderous roars envelop the entire Dusk Mountain Range, causing even the magical beasts and villages at the mountain’s base to tremble in fear at the deafening sound.

As Su Li and the entourage flew into the Dusk Mountain Range, they saw the immense figure of Drake. As a red dragon, his blood-red form nearly obscured the distant peaks and sky.

His gigantic size is suffocating, stretching over 40 meters from head to tail, almost like a thick, small mountain, with a wingspan of over 50 meters. When his wings are spread, they overshadow a volcano, casting a massive shadow over the entire mountain range, effectively blocking out the sun.

Seeing him, Su Li understood why green dragons are considered slender and ill-suited for close combat, and why red dragons are described as the most ferocious and massive of the dragon race.

His fierce head resembles a small fortress, with eyes flickering with scarlet flames, like two burning fires. Large nostrils breathe out a thick, pungent sulfur smell. Fangs half a meter long and sharp as knives can shred anything that stands in his way.

At this moment, he was launching a ferocious attack on a human clad in black plate armor on the ground. His tail, over 20 meters long and thicker than the trunk of the Holy Purple Vine Tree, ended with a row of sharp barbs, each swing stirring up a strong wind, clearing an entire area!

As his tail struck down, a mountain peak over forty meters tall was forcibly smashed and collapsed, the peak over twenty meters shattered under the dragon’s tail sweep, sending rocks scattering. Although Su Li and the entourage were thousands of meters away, small fragments still flew past their faces.

A half-elf failed to dodge, his head directly injured, spraying blood in all directions.

Su Li took a deep breath, turning to ask Hilude, ”Back then... did Aeliria give off such a powerful sense of oppression?”

This overwhelming sense of oppression is suffocating, it’s hard to imagine what kind of terrifying combat power it would take to bring down an entire mountain peak with a tail swipe. Compared to the green dragon, the red dragon is indeed more adept at melee combat, its body parts equivalent to rare-level weapons.

Hilude immediately shook his head, saying, ”Aeliria was a green dragon, relatively slender, and emphasizing more on magical abilities; we never had such intense battles before the decisive battle.”

Under the powerful dragon might of the red dragon, Silvana was trembling slightly, asking, ”Lord, are we still going to steal its treasures from the dragon’s nest?”

Su Li decisively waved his hand, ”Considering Drake’s fierce demeanor and exuberant energy, if we do break into its dragon nest and steal, it could pursue us non-stop! From the Green Moss Swamp all the way to Marle Castle, then back to the Hesse Territory from Marle Castle.”

As a red dragon, its stamina is simply too abundant. Provoking it is like provoking an indomitable battle fanatic.

Initially, Su Li planned to see if the red dragon was in poor condition to take advantage of the situation.

But now it seems, the red dragon is not only not in poor condition but is simply too well! Su Li felt that in his current state, he could continue fighting energetically for days and nights. This made Su Li somewhat hesitant about whether to send Hilude to battle the red dragon.

Of course, down on the ground, Demster, the Mole’s Chosen One, was equally filled with battle intent. He was riding a black warhorse, shield in left hand, spear in right, maneuvering and dodging. Even though the red dragon’s rampage had shattered the ground, it couldn’t kill him. Even the remaining lava on the ground and fiery breath couldn’t limit his movements.

Seeing Su Li’s air cavalry flapping their wings and forming a formation in the sky, Demster shouted loudly during a dodge, ”It’s just as the great Mole Highness said in the dream, after I endure for three days and nights, powerful reinforcements and the dragon torturer will descend from the sky shining with golden light, helping me accomplish the great deeds of dragon slaying!”

”Dragon slaying?”

”Dragon slaying?”

Everyone exclaimed in surprise. Even Drake, breathing hot sulfuric breath, roared, ”Dragon slaying?”

Clearly, he was very wary of Demster’s words. Mole indeed had such ability, foretelling future events in dreams to his followers.

More importantly, this squad of golden-gleaming flying cavalry, flapping their huge wings, appeared in the sky in neat formation, indeed exuding a tremendous sense of intimidation.
