As Astrid's cries grew louder, she felt her strength rapidly draining away, her limbs growing weak, making it impossible for her to move the large stone in front of her.
The stone she could usually push with one hand now wouldn't budge an inch even with both hands straining with all her might, which made her very anxious and increasingly irritable.
All the Dragon Knights and their Dragons around them were desperately searching, but they couldn't find any trace of Hiccup.
Stoick's gaze swept over the entire debris-strewn ruins left by the explosion, but he couldn't find Hiccup's figure!
Many Vikings even thought that Hiccup had been incinerated into ash, which was why not even a trace could be found.
After all, normally, the Dragons' flames could instantly burn an entire large tree to ash, let alone the Red Death, whose body was so enormous…
Its Deathly Flames would surely be even more intense, and after searching for so long without finding any trace of Hiccup, it probably confirmed their deepest fears.
"No~~~~!"
Many Dragon Knights roared to the sky, then, as if to vent, they punched the stones fiercely.
Astrid was still struggling with the stone in front of her, completely unaware that the stone was actually moving.
"Ah!"
Astrid was directly swept down by Night Fury's tail, immediately letting out a cry of surprise.
Because she clearly felt that it wasn't just her legs giving out and making her fall; she had been pushed by a force!
She lay on her back on the ground, laboriously raising her upper body and looking in the direction of the stone from earlier.
She could just see Night Fury lying on its side, its tail constantly swaying, and under the protection of its wings, Hiccup lay there quietly, as if asleep.
"Hiccup! Hiccup! No~!"
Astrid screamed frantically, and the surrounding Dragon Knights rushed over after hearing the sound.
They also saw Hiccup lying on Night Fury's wing, his face pale, while Night Fury carefully guarded him.
Everyone instinctively removed their helmets and then bowed their heads in silent mourning for Hiccup.
"Hiccup is the hero of our tribe! It was he who led us to destroy the Dragon Nest! He protected our homeland!"
"Rest in peace, hero! We envy you for being able to enter the embrace of Odin!"
"If there's a chance! I hope to fight alongside you again in the next life!"
As each person removed their helmet in silent mourning, they continuously prayed in their hearts.
Stoick walked forward and embraced Hiccup's slender body, immediately feeling that this small frame had borne immense pressure.
All at once, Stoick's old tears flowed freely.
While the surrounding Dragon Knights sighed, they all felt regret for Hiccup. Seeing Stoick's desolate back, their hearts felt even heavier.
Stoick lost his wife in middle age, and now, nearing old age, he had lost his son.
Everyone felt that the God of Misfortune had placed a curse upon Stoick.
However, the reason Hiccup was unconscious was not due to injury in battle, nor failing to withstand the explosion's shockwave.
It was simply because the system's hidden function was upgrading, consuming a large amount of his mental energy, which led him to fall into a deep sleep.
Within his consciousness was another world.
The dragon's secret scroll appeared like a massive city wall before him, vividly recording all knowledge about the Dragon race.
And at this moment, Hiccup, almost in an instant, mastered Dragon Potion and also Dragon Magic! He also understood that Dragon Magic was a passive skill.
Only when attacked by these Dragons with magic could he be stimulated to instantly learn it.
During the recent battle, being affected by the Red Death's flames, he also learned the Red Death's Deathly Flames and gained fire element affinity.
After understanding how to use Dragon Magic, the subsequent Dragon Array and Dragon Bloodline were also clearly imprinted in Hiccup's mind!
To use the Dragon Array, Dragon Magic must first be activated, which is why the system had always found it difficult to analyze.
As for the Dragon Bloodline later on, it was a powerful magic! Similar to witchcraft!
Because it involved gathering the blood of Dragons of the same clan and sacrificing it to the Dragon with the greatest potential within that clan, this would stimulate that Dragon to undergo a bloodline atavism!
Thereby mastering more Dragon clan secret arts.
Of course, this method could also be used on oneself, sacrificing Dragon clan blood to rapidly enhance one's own strength.
At this time, Hiccup's consciousness was clear and extremely excited.
Because after all this time, he finally had magic, and it was the Red Death's exclusive Deathly Flames!
He was even somewhat impatient to wake up and quickly try out the feeling of having magic…
The dragon's secret scroll completely integrated into Hiccup's mind, and the system began to operate normally, assisting Hiccup in rapidly recovering his mental energy.
"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for completing the main quest of the first version! Reward: one bottle of advanced strength potion! One bottle of advanced agility potion! One bottle of advanced wisdom potion! One bottle of advanced spirit potion! One bottle of advanced recovery potion!"
Although it was still the same, the potions the system initially rewarded were all beginner level.
After drinking them, his strength would instantly increase, and after absorbing all the medicinal power, he could even spar with his cheap father, Stoick. Although he wouldn't win, he could at least fight to a draw!
But now it was different! As long as he drank these few potions, he could completely crush his cheap father!
Fighting ten of him would be no problem at all.
And this was just the result of newly taking the potions. With daily combat training, perfectly absorbing the power of these potions, he would definitely become even stronger then.
He might even become a true Knight capable of releasing battle qi.
However, what excited Hiccup the most was that the system was functioning normally, and all the high-tech instruments he had stored in the system could now be taken out.
At the same time, the living supplies and various seasonings stored within could also be retrieved.
And now, there was no need to rush to improve his strength!
Because the subsequent enemies on Berk Island were all new species of Dragons, as well as some pirates and Dragon Hunters.
His current strength was completely sufficient to crush them!
But an individual's strength is ultimately limited! Two fists are no match for four hands!
It was still necessary to raise the overall strength of Berk Island so that they could better cope with the approaching enemies.
Time passed minute by minute, and the dragon's secret scroll, from initially imparting secret techniques, later transformed into a mobile space capable of housing living beings!
This way, he not only carried a mountain and river but also an army of Dragons with him!
