Chapter 581 - 581 579 Picking Up a Dragon in the Snowfield

Chapter 581: Chapter 579 Picking Up a Dragon in the Snowfield Chapter 581: Chapter 579 Picking Up a Dragon in the Snowfield “It hasn’t melted, indeed, these Snow Trolls are real creatures.” Russell, who had been carrying the corpse of a Snow Troll at full speed, smiled as he arrived at Fire Ant Swamp.

Last time, to avoid long nights full of dreams, the body of Shuang Ge was swallowed directly by the Little Dream Dragon, leaving no spoils behind.

As a result, the research on Frost Giants always lacked sufficient samples.

But this time.

He had finally obtained a complete corpse, although it was the body of a Snow Troll, not the Frost Giant corpse that the scholars were more interested in. From an energy level perspective, Snow Trolls were similar to Frost Giants, and most importantly, they were real life forms.

Snow Giants, Snow Demons, Snow Beasts, Snow Ghosts, those were merely puppets transformed by energy.

Frost Giants and Snow Trolls were the indigenous creatures of Frost Star.

Thud!

Russell dropped the Snow Troll’s corpse next to the Magic Power Tower and went straight into the hundred-meter-high tower.

“Your Highness!” The scholars saluted one after another.

Russell walked directly to the magic map in the Magic Power Tower, noting that the previous bright spots had disappeared, but at the location of the Magic Power Tower, there was still one bright spot flickering.

“Your Highness, is that corpse the body of a Frost Giant?” Grand Scholar Hert, pointing at the Snow Troll’s corpse below the tower, asked, “Did you hunt one of the Frost Giants, which means that the signal from the Magic Power Tower was correct?”

“The signal was correct,” said Russell. “But this creature, it is not a Frost Giant, it’s one tier below; I call it a Snow Troll… Hert, the bright spot on the magic map is accurate, there indeed exists a group of Snow Trolls.”

“When Your Highness returned from hunting the Snow Trolls, I knew the signal would not be mistaken,” Hert sighed in relief, but then quickly became concerned again, “But so many Snow Trolls… They’ve never appeared in the Snowfield before.”

“Hert.”

“Your Highness.”

“Continue to research and refine the Magic Power Tower, and do not worry about the matter of the Frost Giants and Snow Trolls,” Russell said indifferently. “With me and the Shadowflame present, these blue-skinned creatures cannot invade our Grand Duchy!”

Carrying the Snow Troll’s corpse, Russell rushed back to Red Castle.

He temporarily handed the Snow Troll’s corpse over to the Grand Scholar Roundtable for research, and then he went straight to Thunder Sound Station to send a message to King Ares: “Shuang Da has received reinforcements, a group of slightly weaker Snow Trolls, suspected of descending during a meteor shower. I killed one and am currently researching.”

Soon.

King Ares sent back a message: “I am setting out now, expecting to arrive by tomorrow noon.”

Russell immediately instructed the kitchen at Red Castle to prepare for King Ares’s lunch the next day and also had someone invite Princess Anxia and Marquis Arno to accompany him.

Then he went to the Grand Scholar Roundtable.

“Gentlemen, have you found anything in your research on the Snow Troll’s corpse?”

“Your Highness,” a white-haired Grand Scholar bowed deeply, “We are currently dissecting the Snow Troll’s corpse. There is too little information, and right now, we cannot understand the composition of its power, but one thing…”

“What?”

“The body of the Snow Troll, like the human body, can withstand extraordinary powers and belongs to the same super power system. The difference is, humans leverage their bodies as a fulcrum to wield greater powers, while the body of a Snow Troll inherently possesses great power.”

“You mean to say, the body of a Snow Troll is more like that of a dragon?” Russell keenly caught the crucial point.

“It can be understood that way, Your Highness.”

“Continue the research.”

“Yes.”

After thinking for a moment, Russell took half of the Frost Giant’s body with him, “Leaving half the body should be enough for your research, right?”

“Enough, Your Highness.”

“Good.”

Holding half of the Snow Troll’s body, Russell flew directly to Shadowflame Volcano, avoiding the underground passage and descending into the crater instead.

The crater of Shadowflame Volcano was like the grand entrance to a mansion.

The underground passage was like a side door to the mansion, suitable only for those not qualified enough; only those of comparable status could enter through the main entrance. Now, Russell was of equal status and could enter through the main entrance at any time.

“Hmm, Russell, you’ve come,” the Shadowflame Dragon raised its head, its magic-laden Draconic language slowly resonating, “The scent of food, you finally remembered Shadowflame, and brought food for Shadowflame. Shadowflame thought you would keep it for Ice Cream.”

“Shadowflame, there’s no need to get jealous,” Russell chuckled, “With Frost Star approaching, I fear that both you and Ice Cream will have more than enough to eat.”

He placed the half body of the Snow Troll on the platform and said, “In the five thousand years of the Warm Age, dragons and Snow Giants devoured each other; you should be able to easily strip the power from this half-body. I want to see what the Frost Star Bead looks like.”

The Shadowflame Dragon opened its mouth.

A gentle inhale.

Instantly, the half body of the Snow Troll melted swiftly, then condensed into a Frost Star Bead the size of a fist.

Russell held up the Frost Star Bead and after close observation concluded, “There are quite a few impurities, not as pure as the Frost Giant’s or Snow Giant’s Frost Star Beads, but it’s definitely the same level of power… Shadowflame, please enjoy.”

With a casual inhale, the Frost Star Bead was swallowed by the Shadowflame Dragon without chewing, expressing a look of enjoyment, “A hundred Ice Essence Pearls are not comparable to one Frost Star Bead, Shadowflame likes this taste.”

“There will be more, and you will eat your fill, trust me,” Russell waved his hand and left Shadowflame Volcano.

Just at the crater—

He heard the Shadowflame Dragon questioning, “Ice Cream… how long until the volcano erupts, have you chosen the Volcanic Oasis for Ice Cream?”

Russell’s figure paused and without turning back, he said, “Don’t worry, it’s coming soon!”

He flipped his left hand, and the M-shaped flame mark in his palm had dimmed to its limit, ready to extinguish at any moment, indicating that Ice Cream’s awakening, and likely the moment of the volcano’s eruption, was not far off.

After Russell flew away, the Shadowflame Dragon submerged back into the magma, then faintly responded, “Shadowflame… is not in a hurry…”

Russell was about to return to Red Castle.

Suddenly, through their psychic link, he received the agitated mental waves of the Harpies Hape, remote and not conducive to direct communication, but Hape was clearly very anxious.

“Has something happened to Hape?” Russell was startled, quickly mounted Sacred Unicorn Polly, “Polly, let’s hurry and find Hape!”

Meanwhile—

The Shadowflame Dragon that had just submerged into the magma suddenly stuck out its head, its massive and ferocious head displaying a look of surprise and delight, “Power… another surge of power has flowed into Shadowflame’s body!”

This feeling was very familiar.

After the birth of a Bipedal Flying Dragon, a Warm Enclave was opened; after the promotion of the Dragon Domain Lord, a Warm Enclave was opened; after the promotion of the Phantom Dragon Knight, a small Oasis was opened…

It was all the same feeling.

Its pupils radiated immense excitement, “One after another… ever since meeting Russell, Shadowflame not only returned to its prime but also, Shadowflame’s power continues to grow…Is this the boon of industrialization?”

The opening of a Warm Enclave was no trivial matter.

Only when a nation flourished and began reciprocating the dragons, would it be possible within the range influenced by dragons to breed new Bipedal Flying Dragons and open up new Warm Enclaves.

This was a unique form of cultivation belonging to dragons.

“Anticipating, anticipating!” the Shadowflame Dragon looked up through the volcano crater into the sky, “Shadowflame and Russell… after the fusion… a new era!”

On the other side—

It took Russell more than an hour, but he finally found Harpies Hape on the western Snowfield of Shadowflame Duchy.

Hape soared in the sky, while below on the Snowfield, the ice cap was melting, and a new Warm Enclave was slowly emerging.

A newborn Bipedal Flying Dragon was soaring freely in mid-air.
