Amidst the lush forest, a column of teams advanced forward in exploration. With the departure of the cold winter, the forest floor revived with vitality. The dense jungle and the wild beasts hidden within significantly affected the team, resulting in their slow progress. The leader, Lambert, was somewhat troubled. The poisonous insects and wild beasts hidden in the dense forest were already a hassle, but the bigger issue was finding Gross's whereabouts. Since the day Gross left with his men, it had been over three months. In the vast sea of trees, who knew where that guy had gone? Now they could only head towards the nest of the Blue Young Dragon named Austin, hoping to find some trace of him there. Gross was most likely alive, but it was unknown what trouble had entangled him. "Ska, I really don't understand why you decided to join our team for this search operation." Among the team, there was a group of human warriors. Lambert found it strange that the group led by someone named Ska decided to join them. Their goal was to retrieve Gross, so why were these people here? However, despite his doubts, Lambert didn't oppose it. After all, these humans were Extraordinary Professionals and provided significant support, but their strength wasn't enough to cause any upheaval in the team. "There's nothing much to hide. This time you're seeking the First Warrior of your Tribe, and we're looking for a Blue Young Dragon named Austin who has nested there. Since it's on the way, why not go together?" Ska candidly replied, unbothered. In fact, Ska was somewhat surprised that it took the guy beside him half a month to ask. "A Blue Young Dragon named Austin? Do you humans have a grudge against it? If so, you might be disappointed. Half a year ago, traces of the undead had already reached there. The whole Dragon's Nest might have already been engulfed by the sea of undead, and Gross's delay in returning could very well be connected to those undead." The initial task Rulga entrusted to Gross was, of course, confidential. However, the movements of the Blood Claw elite led by Gross were hard to conceal, so a reasonable explanation was provided from the start. It was since undead had appeared at the Blue Young Dragon's location, to prevent the undead from spreading, Gross personally led the Blood Claw elite to support the Blue Young Dragon. Of course, if their plan were successful, they would claim that upon arrival, the whole Dragon's Nest had been breached by the undead, and the Blue Young Dragon along with its clan had been completely devoured and assimilated by the undead. The execution was naturally Gross's doing. But, being in a remote location, once the Blue Young Dragon and its clan were annihilated and the area ravaged by the undead army, no evidence would be left behind, and they could claim anything they wanted. After all, it was an orphan dragon without a mature dragon to care for. What Rulga and his lot needed was a pretext to involve the Dragon Race, a surface-level justification that seemed plausible, and there wouldn't really be anyone going to investigate the truth. Only because of Austin's awkward status did Rulga and the others dare to scheme. If it were a Young Dragon with parents to care for, even if the adult parents weren't always watching, who would dare to provoke a tiger? These underlying reasons were naturally not something Lambert could tell Ska. He was only informed of the truth behind Gross's mission by Rulga before their departure. Initially, he truly believed Gross was going to assist the Blue Young Dragon. Before leaving, according to Rulga's speculation, something unexpected might have occurred during Gross's mission to destroy the scene that entangled him at that place, possibly being trapped by those undead. The agreement to let these humans join was also a form of backup evidence... Gross and his team went for rescue, which ended in failure and resulted in them being trapped nearby by the undead. Given this much effort, how could the Young Dragon's death be suspected as their doing? "Let's hope it really is that way, so we won't have to take such a tiring trip again." Ska was unaware of the internal reasons, only expressing his thoughts. They weren't exactly thrilled about this journey. But thinking about the favorite by the Grand Duke named Edward, and considering the great influence this mission holds as humans and the outskirts of the Kawa Great Forest worked together, Ska knew it was best for him to make this trip. They continued onward without any further conversation. "The destination should be about a hundred miles ahead, right? Didn't they say a long time ago that the undead calamity had broken out? How come there seems to be no sign of it?" Initially, Austin had connected with the Tribe Alliance, voluntarily serving as one of the defensive strongholds, and the Tribe Alliance had sent people to investigate. They were familiar with the area where Austin resided. The surroundings were indeed remote and not particularly abundant in resources. Based on information from over six months ago, traces of undead were discovered approximately two hundred miles southwest of the Dragon Nest Tribe. Content orıginally comes from 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⁂𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱 Subsequently, many things happened within the Tribe Alliance, and at the crucial point of reaching agreements with humans, various open and hidden struggles prevented further contact. Based on projections, the area around the Dragon Nest Tribe should have been corrupted by wastelands. Even when miles away, the conspicuous sight of rising grey-green death energy should be evident, but currently, no abnormalities were noticed. Something's off, very off. Wildlife was also abound in the mountains and forests nearby, showing no signs of migration. It seems as if the undead calamity was halted. "Could it be that the undead issue was resolved? And what exactly happened with Gross?" Lambert wondered in his heart, exchanging a glance with Ska; doubt was evident in both eyes. A thunderous explosion sounded from the sky, echoing across the heavens, reverberating in every corner of the sky and earth. At the same time, pitch-black and heavy as mountains, the dark clouds rolled in like a tidal wave from the horizon, covering more than half the sky and quickly overshadowing the heavens above. In the astonished gazes of Lambert and Ska, the entire sky was instantly cloaked with dark clouds, dimming the light, and the continuous roar of thunder rolled across the sky. In the next moment, it was as if a solar tide emerged from the horizon. Massive as mountains, vast as an abyss, the overwhelming pressure suddenly descended from the sky, crushing down as if to collapse their very bodies. "What is this! A domain! Could it possibly be Legendary?!!!"
