Chapter 283

The blue sky was like washing, and two flaming dragons were flying at low altitude.

Ren looked down at the mountains on the plateau. The bitter cold wind blew on his face, but it couldn't obstruct his vision at all. Even his hair couldn't be blown like a steel wire. Only the big blood-colored cloak fluttered behind him.

Spend the night in the wild last night and now it's day two.

This is not far from Astarte, only more than a hundred miles.

In the cognition of the Macragge people, the 300-mile range around the city of Astarte, including most of the Macragge Mountain Range and the plateau at the foot, is also called the Ultramu area, which belongs to the tribal territory.

After discussing with Marius, Rennes decided to build the base in Ultramu.

Marius also suggested several locations.

Ren looked at the map and found that it was too close to the Astartes, so he found an excuse to refuse.

This base is extremely important to my future development, and there must be many secrets, so I can't get too close to the Astartes.

Although the two sides are allies, there is still a need to keep a distance.

Of course, it can't be too far away, so that the Ultramarines can easily support the Astartes in the battle.

Cronuan is very familiar with Ultramu, and took Rennes to see a few places, and there were more or less one or two shortcomings, which could not satisfy Rennes.

His requirements for the base are firstly to be concealed, secondly to be easy to defend and difficult to attack, and finally, the space must be large enough to accommodate at least thousands of people for training activities.

It is not easy to meet the three conditions.

The two flying dragons continued to fly northwest, farther and farther away from the Astartes, galloping along the border between the plateau and the World Mountain Range.

It took three days to inspect more than a dozen places, and barely found a few candidate locations.

But Ren is not very satisfied.

"boss."

Kronuan controlled his flying dragon to get closer, and said loudly: "The King Kong Peak is ahead, the northernmost mountain in the Macragge Mountains. After passing the King Kong Peak and flying north for half a day, we will leave Ultramo and enter Land of the Lo'Gosh tribe."

Ren looked forward, and a mountain with an unusual appearance stood on the horizon.

Around it, there are many slightly shorter peaks. From south to north, the height gradually decreases, forming the end of the mountain range.

When camping last night, Cronuan introduced King Kong Peak.

The height of this mountain ranks third in the Macragge Mountain Range, and it is not particularly high. It is even more incomparable with the giant peaks in the world's mountain ranges, and it is unknown outside the plateau.

King Kong Peak got its name because it is rich in diamond rocks.

Diamond rock is a very hard rock with high mining value and is a good building material. If at least hundreds of quarries can be developed within the empire.

But it's almost worthless on the Thane Plateau.

"Let's take a look near King Kong Peak. If there is no suitable place, we will turn back." Ren nodded.

This is more than two hundred miles away from Astarte, it cannot be further away.

After a while, the flying dragon entered the surrounding area of ​​King Kong Peak.

Ren let the fire dragon fly around the mountain, observing the terrain below.

This mountain is indeed ordinary, the only thing that can be praised is that it is relatively steep. The mountain and the stratum are composed of a large number of rocks. The canyons between several peaks are criss-crossed, and it is difficult to climb. There are a large number of wild beasts in the mountains with a radius of more than ten miles.

Ryan has excellent eyesight and can see very far.

He took pictures while observing, and stitched the photos into a complete map in his mobile phone.

Looking at this detailed topographic map, Ren's eyes suddenly lit up.

King Kong Peak is the main peak of this mountain range, and it is connected with three or four peaks in the east that are only half of its height, forming dangerous deep ravines, among which there are many complex valleys.

One of these valleys has a long and narrow terrain, about three to four kilometers, and the bottom of the valley is very deep. Even if you look down from a high altitude, if the angle is wrong, it is difficult to see the scene at the bottom.

The bottom of the canyon is flat as a whole, the narrowest point is only more than 200 meters, and the widest point is less than 1,000 meters.

At one end of the canyon there is a small clear lake.

The melted snow water on King Kong Peak formed a waterfall and poured down, but no water overflowed, apparently leading to an underground river.

The entire canyon is completely enclosed, with no exit, and the shortest cliff is more than 200 meters high, and the terrain is steep and difficult to climb.

But as long as you climb over the cliff, you can leave the mountains and enter the plateau.

Ren immediately pointed in the direction of the canyon and said, "Let's go down and have a look."

As the flying dragon approached the canyon, Cronuan and the other three Ultramarines were also refreshed. This canyon almost met all the conditions for establishing a base.

Secluded, safe and plenty of space.

The fiery dragon flew into the canyon and landed on the edge of the lake. The coercion of the flying dragon scared the beasts and birds nearby to run around.

Ren jumped down and looked up to observe the environment of the canyon.

The afternoon sun shines into the deep valley, only a small part of the space is brighter, most of the places are in darkness, the temperature is cold, and the air is humid. Like most deep valleys in the world, it is inaccessible, quiet and quiet, only the sound of waterfalls echoes in the valley.

The side of the canyon with the lake has a relatively wide view, and you can see the peak of King Kong Peak; the opposite side is narrower and darker, with vines twining on the top and lush trees, making it difficult for sunlight to shine in.

Ren walked the canyon twice, and immediately decided that this was the place.

He even had a preliminary idea of ​​the layout of the base.

The surrounding rock walls are rugged, just enough to dig a cave as the nest of the flying dragon; the camp fortress is built at the inner end of the dark canyon, and the earth elementalists are invited to open up space on the mountain, and the teleportation circle is placed in the deepest part; the bright end of the canyon , as a training range for extreme fighters.

Be sure to set up a hidden sentry tower on the rock wall of the canyon.

In the future, if there is enough financial resources, a large rune array will be arranged to cover the entire canyon, so that no sound can be transmitted.

"You don't need to look any further, this canyon will be our base in the future."

Ryan announced.

"Okay, boss." The Ultramarines were also very happy. Cronuan took out a simple homemade map, marked the location of the canyon on it, and asked with a smile: "Boss, this canyon has no name, do you want to use it?" Get one for it?"

Ren looked up at the steep mountains, thought for a while and said, "Since the base is at the foot of King Kong Peak, it should be called 'King Kong Fort'."

"Just take local materials and use the diamond rock here to build our training fortress."

He explained again.

Cronuan whispered "Fort Vajra" twice, feeling that the name was quite satisfactory. There were many places in the empire called Fort Vajra, so there was nothing unusual about it.

Since it's the boss's idea, then it's decided.

One of the Ultramarines asked, "Shall we go back to the Astartes to get the materials for the teleportation array?"

"This is not in a hurry." Ren shook his head. "The materials are heavy and a lot. The two fire dragons have to be transported many times. Let's tame a few dragons and wait for Sicarius and the others to return to Astarte. Just finish shipping, no need to toss back and forth."

Hearing taming the flying dragon, the eyes of the three Ultramarines without mounts lit up.

They came out with Ren to capture the flying dragon.

In the past few days, I have been busy choosing a location for the base, but I haven't specifically searched for the dragon's lair, and now the opportunity has finally come.

"Boss, I've seen two flying dragons in the World Mountain Range to the west, and they probably have a nest." An Ultramarine said hastily.

Ren jumped on the fire dragon and said with a smile: "Okay, you can show the way."

It only took half a day to get to the place where the Ultramarines met the flying dragon, but Ren searched dozens of miles nearby, but found no trace of the flying dragon.

In fact, there are quite a few wyverns on the Thane Plateau.

But the plateau is too big, and its area is almost as large as half an empire. It is still quite difficult to find flying dragons in such a vast area.

Moreover, different flying dragons have different habits.

Some flying dragons will build nests and form groups, such as fire dragons; some flying dragons live alone, have no fixed territory, and are difficult to meet when wandering around, such as ice wind dragons; and flying dragons are very intelligent and very vigilant. It seems that the most experienced hunters lurk and rarely show up, such as the silver frost dragon.

After searching for two days in a row, Ren only found two venom dragons.

This is a couple of flying dragons. Their strength is far inferior to that of the fire dragon. They can barely be regarded as high-level flying dragons. The most important thing is that the venom flying dragon has no affinity elements.

They do not provide the Ultramarines with the spellcasting potential to use the Soul Lance.

In Ren's expectation, the Blazing Dragon is of course the most suitable mount. If there is no fire dragon, other flying dragons with affinity elements can also be used. After all, flying dragons are hard to find, so it is better than nothing.

But the Venom Dragon is fine.

Ren wanted to let them go, but the two low-intelligence flying dragons took the initiative to attack, and they couldn't be driven away, so Ren killed them and extracted their demon souls.

The devil souls of two high-level flying dragons can also sell three thousand gold shields.

In addition to flying dragons, Ren also discovered some powerful birds, such as dragon eagles.

The dragon eagle can also be regarded as a kind of dragon descendant with many branches, but the blood of the dragon family is thinner, and it is finally divided into birds, ranging from elementary to high-level. The flying speed of high-level dragon eagles is faster, and sometimes the fire dragon cannot catch up .

There are also various griffins, cloud splitting eagles, pegasus, and many magical beasts on the ground, countless.

Many of these are pretty good mounts, but they're either too small to carry Ultramarines, or don't have the affinity factor to provide spellcasting potential.

Unless it is a vicious and brutal attack, Ren will kill and extract the demon soul.

Usually he just let these birds and beasts survive.

Unknowingly, Ren and the four Ultramarines had already left the Ultramu region, farther and farther away, and finally found a lair on the outskirts of the World Mountain Range, which happened to be Blazing Dragon.

There were four fiery dragons in this litter, and Ren took advantage of them to hunt and divided them up.

It took only half a day to tame them all.

For the Ultramarines who came out together, everyone was assigned a mount, and there was still one left. Ren appointed them as the trainers of the fire dragon, and soon became familiar with their flying dragon and mastered the skill of controlling flight.

"Boss, we have been out for five days, do you want to go back?" Cronuan counted the days, Sicarius and the others should return to Astarte.

Ren nodded.

It's hard to find a suitable flying dragon. It's lucky to be able to tame four fire dragons. If you want to assign flying dragon mounts to sixty Ultramarines, it may take a year or so to complete.

Just as he was about to decide to return, he turned his head and looked to the west, looking into the distance.

The eyes of the soul were opened to the limit, looking through the transparent and bright sky, vaguely saw the outline of an extremely large and majestic mountain standing on the horizon, even thousands of miles away, one could still feel its majesty and precipitousness.

"The second highest mountain in the world, Carl Peak, in Allenhaus."

Ren opened his personal library to search for information, and many books had illustrations of Karl Peak, which were exactly the same as the outline of the mountain he saw in front of him.

"It's come so far."

The distance between Karl Peak and Astarte is not close, at least more than three thousand miles away.

With a thought in his mind, Ren remembered the news that he had bought it from Habu the Tauren for five hundred gold shields, and that there had been a storm giant near Karl Peak.

He originally planned to find the storm giant, maybe he could get the lightning affinity element.

"It's all here." Ren thought to himself, "Just take a trip to Karl Peak, so as not to fly over next time."
