After a period of comforting, Night Fury finally reined in its small temper. The outburst just now seemed to be an outpouring of all the grievances it had suffered under the Red Death over the years.
Hiccup continuously stroked Night Fury's scales and said, "Toothless! You must calm down! You must calm down!"
Listening to Hiccup's words, Night Fury gradually settled down and began flying around the Red Death at an extremely fast speed.
At this moment, Hiccup could also feel that Night Fury was full of fighting spirit, determined to fight the Red Death to the death today.
The Red Death simply couldn't keep up with Night Fury's speed. It was even difficult for it to turn its head and focus on Night Fury's direction!
"Roar~~~~!"
The Red Death let out an angry Dragon roar, as this battle was truly too stifling. It couldn't even see where the enemy was.
So, the Red Death once again closed its eyes, shook its massive head from side to side, and continuously spewed Deathly Flames.
The originally pitch-black clouds also dissipated considerably due to its flame breath.
Looking up from below, this patch of dark clouds seemed to have transformed into a vast sea of fire, filled with flames everywhere.
Night Fury's speed was fast enough, so the Red Death's flames were constantly chasing Night Fury, but they couldn't touch it.
Moreover, Night Fury seemed to be at ease, dodging the flames while not forgetting to shoot out a blue-purple fireball, humiliating the Red Death.
It was precisely this action that made the Red Death completely lock onto Night Fury's movements.
It opened its large mouth, revealing sword-like teeth, and chased in Night Fury's direction, biting at the air as it pursued.
"Click~"
Sitting on Night Fury's back, Hiccup could clearly hear the sound of the Red Death's teeth clashing.
At the same time, it sent shivers down Hiccup's spine; if he were to be bitten, he would instantly turn into scraps.
Night Fury's speed became faster and faster, and the Red Death seemed to have its own potential ignited, chasing faster and faster as well.
Meanwhile, Stoick had already led the Dragon Knight Third Squad, stealthily infiltrating the Dragon Nest.
Inside, apart from volcanic lava, there wasn't a single Dragon. However, there were dense, numerous holes all around.
After all, the Red Death couldn't possibly hide its eggs directly in the lava; if that were the case, not a single one of the three thousand eggs would remain.
After walking for a long time without seeing any trace of these Dragon eggs, Stoick couldn't help but complain, "Is Hiccup lying to me? Where are these Dragon eggs?"
As he spoke, Stoick raised his hand and leaned against a rock wall.
However, what he perceived as a grayish-brown rock wall immediately experienced a slight tremor when he leaned his hand on it.
Frightened, Stoick quickly withdrew his hand and looked towards the rock wall.
He then discovered that the Dragon eggs he had been searching for so long were right in front of him.
These Dragon eggs were grayish-brown, the same color as the Red Death's skin, and each one was larger than Stoick himself. The three thousand eggs were arranged together, resembling a stone forest.
Therefore, Stoick, leading the Third Squad, had been navigating through the gaps of these Dragon eggs for a long time without finding any trace of them.
"Oh my god~!"
Now that he had discovered the eggs, Stoick couldn't help but exclaim.
These Dragon eggs were simply too big; how could they be taken back?
Seeing this scene before him, Stoick immediately felt a dilemma, as these Dragon eggs were larger than his own body.
He tried to embrace them with his hands, but he couldn't get a grip. He could only rely on tools to move these Dragon eggs out.
He turned to look at the Dragon Knight Third Squad and immediately said, "Have your Dragons directly carry these eggs out from the direction of the volcano!"
Because these eggs were simply too large, there was no way to exit through the path they came from.
The captain of the Third Squad, the chubby Fishlegs, wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth and said, "How is that possible to carry out?"
"Dragon claws are so small, and these eggs are so big and heavy!"
The Third Squad mostly consisted of Gronckle Dragons, each with a large body and short limbs. They couldn't even grasp these Dragon eggs, let alone carry them out.
Hiccup had thought of this point, which is why he had the Third Squad follow Stoick into the Dragon Nest.
After all, with the Red Death's massive size, its eggs certainly wouldn't be small. Once his adoptive father found these Dragon eggs, he would definitely try to figure out a way on the spot.
This would buy him enough time.
Stoick immediately gave the order, saying, "There's not much time left! Go back quickly and get ropes! Even if we can't take all these eggs, we must take a few!"
However, the chubby Fishlegs directly pulled out ropes that had been prepared beforehand from his satchel.
He even said with some surprise, "Captain Hiccup is so thoughtful; he even brought ropes for each of us!"
"It's just a pity that these ropes are too short; we need to tie everyone's ropes together to bind this Dragon egg!"
It was originally just a complaint, but Stoick immediately felt that something was off.
He felt like something was strange. It was as if everything had been arranged by Hiccup, but why would he do that?
A premonition of ill omen suddenly arose in Stoick's heart, and he even imagined some unacceptable scenes in his mind.
At the same time, he slapped his forehead and said, "I'm so stupid! Why did I leave Hiccup to stall for time?"
After muttering to himself for a while, Stoick turned and ran out! His Terrible Terror, beside him, looked at his retreating figure, then looked at the Dragon eggs left behind. It felt it could help these Dragon Knights transport these Dragon eggs out.
Moreover, Stoick, on Bok Island, didn't often ride his Terrible Terror when traveling to appear less special among the villagers.
This also created a habit for him: when faced with an urgent matter, he would only trust his own legs and run quickly.
When he emerged from the cave, he looked up and saw that the originally pitch-black clouds in the sky had been burned red by the Red Death's flames.
At this moment, the dark clouds were like a layer of black gauze covering the sun; through this layer of gauze, one could see the light within, but one could also clearly see the outer layer of gauze.
"Oh! No! I've already lost your mother! I absolutely cannot lose you too!"
But Stoick only remembered now that his Terrible Terror hadn't come out with him.
It was too late to turn back. He looked at the Vikings in front of him, who were capturing the downed Dragons, and immediately ran towards them.
He wanted to procure materials on the spot.
