Galaxy Domination Guide-Chapter 498 - 486 Three Brothers

```

The dense forest, impenetrable to the eye, stretched from one end of the plain to the tails of the mountains, and within the forest, only a single narrow path was passable. Three young horsemen proceeded with great caution through the woods, the denser the forest, the more likely there were unknown dangers lurking.

"This path leads to the Bowl's Mouth Pass. Once we're past the Bowl's Mouth Pass, we'll be at Mount Ranji. There's only this one path leading into the mountain from the south," said a simple-faced young man leading the way.

"Mount Ranji, nestled within the great mountains in a remote northeastern area, is indeed easy to defend but hard to attack. Other territories have changed Lords several times over the past sixty years, but the Lord of Mount Ranji has never changed. It would be a deadly hassle for outsiders to try attacking the mountain, just with logistical troubles alone," another dark-faced youth said.

A thin young man with drooping eyes and arched eyebrows laughed, "Still, hasn't the Lord been replaced in the end? And with a dragon slayer, no less."

The dark-faced youth replied, "We can't be sure what exactly has happened inside Mount Ranji, whether a dragon slayer Lord has exterminated the original Lord and taken over the territory, it's best to be cautious."

The simple-faced young man laughed, "I think there's a ninety percent chance it's true. This kind of news isn't something just anyone can fake. Moreover, this person doesn't mind the publicity; he wants to recruit talented people to join him in slaying dragons. No one but a real dragon slayer would think like that."

The thin youth shook his head, "Even if it is a dragon slayer, he must be out of his mind. By making his whereabouts known to all, he has informed not only people from various places but also the Giant Dragons that have come to our world. It's likely that, with the start of the Era of the Dragon, the Dragon Clan will be the first to eradicate him."

The dark-faced youth sighed, "It's unclear how many dragon slayers are still around in the world today. After our master passed away, he left the three of us brothers. We haven't even learned half of his skills; we only inherited his three dragon-slaying artifacts. Before he died, he instructed us to seek out other dragon slayers to learn how to protect ourselves. Once the Era of the Dragon begins, we're to hide in the Ruins and keep out of worldly affairs."

The simple-faced young man's expression turned sorrowful, "Master felt that our dragon slayers' strength was too feeble, especially after being severely weakened by the dragon horde in the last Era of the Dragon, leaving only a few of us behind. If we were skilled enough, we could enter the Ruins, retrieve the treasures within, and lead a new generation of dragon slayers. By the time of the next Era of the Dragon, we might have the strength to fight."

The thin youth shook his head, "We brothers might not even live to see that day, and even if we do, we'll be nothing more than old men in our seventies or eighties, too frail to fight against the dragon horde."

The dark-faced youth spoke gravely, "After the last Era of the Dragon, master concluded that dragon slayers fighting on their own would never be victorious. He wanted us three brothers to unite with other dragon slayers for a greater cause. We've been searching for years and have yet to find a single one. This is the first time we've heard news about a dragon slayer, and we have to make contact, no matter what."

As the three young men discussed while walking, they had already arrived at the entrance to Mount Ranji, the Bowl's Mouth Pass.

The dark-faced youth praised, "What a Bowl's Mouth Pass! On both sides there are sheer cliffs, difficult to climb, and in the middle, there's only this narrow gorge of a few dozen yards that one can pass through, truly just like the mouth of a bowl."

The thin youth raised an eyebrow, "It is clearly a natural fortress, yet there's no fortification or turret. The Lord of this place has been too negligent."

The simple-faced young man laughed, "What does it matter? Which Lord would bother traveling hundreds of miles, through these rugged mountains, to enter a narrow pass and conquer a small territory with hardly any population and resources? There's a reason Mount Ranji has been peaceful for sixty years."

The three brothers rode deeper into the pass, continuing their journey towards its depths. After two days of travel in the mountains, they finally caught sight of Mount Ji City's silhouette atop a mountain.

From afar, the vivid blue fortress in the center of Mount Ji City stood out strikingly. The dark-faced youth couldn't help but wonder aloud, "It's said that Mount Ranji has no more than twenty or thirty thousand people, mostly mountain folk, yet there stands such a majestic castle. Moreover, the craftsmanship is simply peak perfection; from the outside, not a brick can be seen, as if it were a mirror."

The thin youth also couldn't help but admire, "Not just the massive castle, but the architectural uniformity of the entire town also seems extraordinarily orderly. Such extensive urban planning and construction of so many buildings, and all multi-storied, can only be the work of comprehensive planning and execution. Ordinary people couldn't have accomplished this, it must be the doing of the Lord."

The simple-faced youth said, "That must have been the work of the previous Lord then, since Bai Zhongqi probably hasn't been seated as Lord of Mount Ranji for long."

The dark-faced youth used his own logic to analyze, "The previous Lord of Mount Ranji was Shao Xiong. Although his family has been guarding Mount Ranji for three generations, they didn't have the ability or ambition to build such a city. It's clearly not the work of an ordinary person. If he had such manpower and financial resources, he would have likely moved out of Mount Ji to establish a larger territory long ago."

The thin youth said, "Regardless, let's first go to Mount Ji City to take a look."

The dark-faced youth was very cautious, "There's no rush. Let's observe from these mountains for a while, and it would be best to find some locals to gather information. Nobody knows if the widely spread proclamation is really issued by Bai Zhongqi, or if it's a trap set by the Evil Dragon to lure dragon slayers. Then, we'd be walking right into the net."

The simple-faced youth nodded, "Shi Nazhen is right, we should be prudent."

Just as the three young men were about to hide in the mountains to continue observing Mount Ji City, suddenly, a gust of fierce wind surged past, and even standing on the ground, the three could feel the strong air currents above.

"Fuck, it's an Evil Dragon!" the thin young man cursed.

The simple-faced youth also frowned tightly, very nervous. Although all three brothers had been trained by a dragon slayer and were dragon slayers themselves, they had never truly seen a Giant Dragon.

The dark-faced youth Shi Nazhen grabbed his two brothers, "Stay calm, let's see what's happening first."

The dragon, breaking the speed of sound and swiftly charging towards the castle, wasn't large; in fact, it wasn't much bigger than a human. Its entire body was a dark red color with seemingly no scales, wings that stretched at least ten meters when open, and in shape, it appeared more like a creature somewhere between a Flying Dragon and a human.

The thin youth identified the true identity of this dragon, "As expected, it's the scout and vanguard of the dragon horde—Warp Speed Dragon."
