Accompanying the army of wights was the cold air and flying snow, making it difficult for Drogon to see the exact location of the Night King.
Sitting on Drogon's back, looking at the army of the dead walking in the wind and snow, which was out of tune with the surrounding environment, Daenerys felt that the White Walkers were even more bizarre than she had imagined.
After circling the army of death and not seeing the Night King, Drogon guessed that he should be in the middle of the army of more than 100,000.
Since I can't find it, then I can only...
[Got it!] Drogon said in his heart, and dived towards the wights at the edge of the army.
Seeing Drogon circling the wights from a distance, Daenerys knew that he was looking for the Night King, but she didn't understand why Drogon was so cautious.
Hearing the inner voice, she knew that Drogon was about to formally attract the Night King's attention, so she quickly grasped the neck spike and opened her eyes wide so as not to give up the opportunity to observe the army of death up close.
It swooped down from a high altitude and spat out a mouthful of purple-black dragon flame as soon as it approached the corpse ghost.
When the corpse encountered the dragon flame, it didn't even have time to struggle before it was burned into a pile of black bones and fell to the ground. It was burned more thoroughly than a living person under the dragon flame.
With a big breath of dragon flame, the densely packed corpses were immediately burned into a large area of space.
Daenerys was very excited to see the killing power of Drogon's dragon flame on the wights. Even if Rhaegal and Viserion's dragon flame was not as powerful as Drogon's, their burning effect on the wights would not be too bad.
While breathing fire, Drogon kept an eye on the movements of the Night King in the army of death. When he found nothing unusual, he continued to burn and kill the wights.
Three minutes later, thousands of wights were burned to death. Just when Drogon thought that the Night King might have gone out and not returned, he suddenly heard a faint sound of breaking through the air. He quickly rose high and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw an ice crystal approaching quickly, so he quickly dodged by turning sideways.
Daenerys, who was holding Drogon's neck spike, only felt Drogon's body suddenly tilted upward, and a shiny ice spear passed through her silently.
Daenerys was frightened as she stared with her mouth wide open at the ice spear that was flying towards the end of the sky with no intention of stopping.
She had watched Drogon train Rhaegal and his men more than once, and she had also seen the power of the scorpion crossbow, whose speed was no match for that of the ice spear.
Is this the ice spear thrown by the Night King?
Riding on Drogon's back, Daenerys looked at the snow-covered area in the Death Army in horror.
Seeing the power of the ice spear just now, she suddenly thought of the small piece of flesh that was gouged out from Drogon's leg on the day when the Meereen Academy opened.
At that time, Drogon was no longer afraid of swords and weapons, and she even wondered what kind of weapon could cause such great damage to Drogon.
At that time, Daenerys only heard from Drogon that it was "him" who did it, and she had no idea who that "him" was. Judging from the speed of the ice spear just now, could it be that Drogon had been outside the Wall and met the Night King?
Otherwise, what weapon could hurt Drogon who was already very powerful?
Thinking of this, she understood why Drogon did not take the initiative to attack, and why he did not let her come.
After dodging the first ice spear, Drogon gained confidence. As long as he could determine the Night King's position and not get too close, he wouldn't have to worry about the ice spear.
Now his speed, strength, senses and body control are no longer comparable to when he first went to the Great Wall.
At a long distance, it is difficult for the Night King to hurt him with his ice spear.
What's more, now that we know the approximate location of the Night King, it will be even more difficult to hit him after being prepared.
Dodging the ice spear, he continued to spray dragon flames at the ground, killing more zombies while attracting the death army to move to the northeast.
The first ice spear missed, and the Night King quickly threw a second one, but Drogon anticipated it and dodged it.
After two consecutive ice spears missed the target, the Night King did not continue to throw ice spears. Instead, he gradually moved from the center of the army of death to the edge.
Drogon, who was continuing to burn and kill the wights, saw the Night King approaching him and hurriedly retreated to a distance. With the Mother of Dragons by his side, he dared not be careless.
The Night King walked forward for a distance and was about to take the ice spear from his White Walker subordinate when he found that Drogon had flown far away. He could only stop what he was doing and look at Drogon in the sky from afar.
Seeing Drogon being so cautious when facing the Night King, Daenerys became more certain of her thoughts that it was the Night King who had hurt Drogon.
Seeing that the Night King was looking at him motionlessly, Drogon was also observing him from high in the sky. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Drogon seemed to see the Night King frown on his sculpture-like face.
Drogon knows that although the Night King seems as stiff as a dead object, and only knows how to command the army of death to invade the North, he actually has not only a certain amount of wisdom, but also emotions.
According to Jon's description of the scene when the Wall fell, there should have been no Horn of Winter when the Night King first ordered the wights to attack the Wall.
And when they attacked the city for the second time two days later, they must have obtained the Horn of Winter before they could continue the siege.
However, he did not blow the horn immediately when attacking the city. Instead, he ordered the wights to continue climbing the Great Wall while carrying the magic burning.
The Horn of Winter was used when the wights were engaged in close combat with the defenders of the Wall, catching them off guard and even causing Stannis to be seriously injured and die.
From this point, it can be seen that he must have done it on purpose, so that Jon and other generals would think that the wights would still attack the Great Wall by enduring the magic consumption like they did the first time.
As for the basis for the Night King's emotions, Drogon clearly remembered that in the previous drama, after being drenched in dragon flames without any damage, the Night King grinned smugly at Daenerys.
Facing the Night King who was staring at him, Drogon even had the urge to experiment whether the dragon flame could burn him to death.
But he knew he couldn't do that, not because of the Dragon Queen on his back. Even if she wasn't there, he wouldn't try it easily.
He is so huge now that even if his speed is much faster than before, he cannot guarantee that he can avoid the Night King's ice spear at close range.
After looking at Drogon for a while, the Night King led his White Walker subordinates to slowly close the distance to him, and the White Walker army behind him also slowly moved along with the Night King.
After walking forward for a few dozen meters, the Night King reached out his hand to the White Walker beside him.
Seeing what the Night King was doing, Drogon didn't expect that he still wouldn't give up.
The Night King hid in the snow and attacked me by surprise but I didn't get hurt, so I'm certainly not afraid of him if he attacks me openly.
He moved his body and was about to dodge, but found that after the Night King got the ice spear, he did not throw it at him. Instead, he reached his left hand to his neck and took off the spearhead-shaped ornament worn there.
Looking at the ornament in the Night King's hand, Drogon immediately thought of the ruby necklace that Melisandre always wore around her neck.
It is that necklace that allows Melisandre to maintain her current youthful and beautiful appearance. If she loses the magic of the necklace, she will probably become a haggard old woman.
The ornament the Night King wears around his neck is likely also a magical ornament.
While Drogon was stunned, the Night King had already grasped the spear-shaped ornament in his hand, closed his eyes slightly and opened his arms.
Drogon no longer dared to stay where he was, and flapped his wings to soar high into the sky.
On the ground, the Night King opened his arms and his whole body was filled with coldness. There seemed to be an icy blue light shining through his body from under his armor, and even the ice spear in his hand was stained with a layer of blue halo.
He suddenly opened his eyes, raised his hand and threw the ice spear out with force.
Drogon, who was flying hard, knew that the Night King would throw an ice spear at any time, so he flapped his wings and flew high while observing the Night King.
Seeing the ice spear covered with halo shooting towards his chest, he only had time to lift his wings and turn sideways, and the ice spear flew past his chest with a whizzing sound, bringing up countless flying scales.
Drogon almost cried out in pain, and without bothering to check his injuries he continued to fly farther away.
