A night passed in this way, with the break of dawn, a squad of flying knights flew over from a distance. They flew particularly low, about fifty meters from the ground. This was a height that both safe yet dangerous.
Safe, because even if an accident occurred and they fell, given the strength of these flying knights, they might not necessarily die. Dangerous, because even a random bow on the ground could hit them. If it were a combat mission, they would not fly this low.
But now, they were carrying out a search mission. In the team of ten flying knights, two of the knights wore large glasses, focusing on observing the ground.
The glasses they wore were called the Eagle Eye Scope, mainly used for reconnaissance from the air. Whether it was an enemy army ambush, hidden assassins, disguised thieves, and so on, the Eagle Eye Scope could easily observe them.
Even objects or creatures that are buried relatively shallow can be distinguished by the heat they emit.
A creature as enormous as a giant dragon, even just after its death, would emit much more heat than ordinary creatures. Even if it were buried shallowly, the heat would still be released.
As long as they saw plots of land with abnormal heat, they would likely discover a dragon’s corpse, unless the dragon corpse was buried very deep, which was almost impossible.
From the time the dragon’s trace was lost to when Iron Leyce received the news of the Dragon Clan: Yellow Dragon Bronze is dead, there was a time difference of less than fifteen minutes.
In fifteen minutes, a giant dragon couldn’t fly far. Even the approximate area could be calculated.
Starting from last night, all the flying knights were divided into five teams, tirelessly shuttling this approximate area, not allowing any natives a chance to rescue.
So, unless the mage and a bronze juvenile dragon who were on the giant dragon’s back at the time could bury the dragon’s corpse tens of meters under the ground, they definitely couldn’t escape the observation of the Eagle Eye Scope.
Actually, in theory, the Eagle Eye Scope is more useful at night. Because of the larger temperature difference at night, heat is easier to image. Unfortunately, this device needs light to observe objects and can only be used during the day. Otherwise, the dragon’s corpse might have been found last night.
The flying knight carefully observed and suddenly pointed at a distant sand dune and yelled, “There, there’s an abnormal heat source.”
“What did you say?!”
“There, there’s an abnormal heat source.” The flying knight yelled with increased volume, his voice hoarse.
“What did you say? Speak up, the wind is too strong!” His companion stuck his head out, disregarding the wind-messed hair, and yelled loudly.
The flying knight cursed hoarsely in irritation, “Damn it, it’s really frustrating. Isn’t there any magic equipment that can be used for communication in the air? Yelling all the time, my voice has gone hoarse.”
As he said this, he pulled a certain rope, and a yellow ribbon floated out from behind the wings, and then he flew towards the sand dune in front. Its color meant: Follow.
In addition to this, there’s the red flag representing combat, the black flag indicating fighting to death, and the white flag representing retreat.
Communications between flying knights in the air can only be carried out through small flags. They simply can’t express complex information, so it’s very easy to fight individually.
This is a problem almost all human airborne forces will face. Although there are some magic equipment that can be used for instant communication, because of the problem of volume and weight, they can’t be carried on the wings, so they can only rely on shouting once they’re airborne.
As they crossed the sand dune, the flying knight sighed in disappointment. There was no dragon corpse there, but a small oasis, full of weeds and little saplings. Because there were so many plants, it led to the abnormal heat.
So many plants couldn’t have grown overnight. Upon closer inspection, there was a gray-black skeleton, half-buried in the sand. No one knew how many years it had died here.
Disappointed. They thought they were about to receive an award. The flying knight retracted the follow flag, adjusted the direction, and flew away slowly.
The sun gradually rose, making it a bit uncomfortable to endure. The skeleton lying in the sand squeezed in a bit deeper into the sand, even burring its head.
This skeleton, of course, was Ange. At this moment, several consciousnesses were communicating inside his soul, all of them were those who had soul contact with him, such as Lisa, Anthony, silver coin, Little Zombie, and an angel skeleton, as well as a bronze dragon.
That bronze dragon was now mooing excitedly, “What happened? What did you do to me? Why did I become like this? Where is this?”
The only one who did not have soul contact with Ange was Negris. But it can project directly into Ange’s soul and was now comforting the bronze dragon, “Things are so wonderful, you have condensed the dragon soul, Naeli, you have transformed into an undead dragon soul, you have been resurrected.”
“But, but….” Naeli became very emotional, she couldn’t even speak properly.
“I know, I know.” Negris comforted, “You are having a hard time accepting the transformation of the life form for a while, you are having a hard time accepting becoming an undead creature, but this is a great change, you are lucky.”
“You should know, in the beginning, the Undead King and Steadfast Locke, also tried something similar on me, but obviously, it failed, so my consciousness was sealed into the Bronze Book, and I survived in this way.”
“From now on, you are immortal. Your form will be similar to an undead, without a body. If you are not used to it, you can wait for a new body to be cultivated, then move your consciousness into it and become a bronze dragon again.”
