177. Ancient ruins
The swamp wyvern builds its nest on the cliff of the stone peak, in front of the mouth of the nest is a stone platform of only a few dozen square meters, and the adult wyvern has a wingspan of nearly 20 meters, and they can no longer drill out of the nest The moment they spread their wings and glide, they usually choose to stand on the stone platform outside the dragon's nest, first stretch the dragon's wings, and then jump and fly over the valley rainforest.
The stone platform of the dragon's nest is scattered with some scales that fell when the swamp dragon molts, but after the erosion of wind and rain, most of these palm-sized scales have lost their original luster, and the natural magic patterns on the dragon scales are also incomplete.
The edges and corners of the raised rock at the entrance of the dragon's lair have long been smoothed by the hard scales on the dragon's body, and the lair is filled with a sour smell, which is the smell of dragon dung, these dragon dung are piled up in the corners of the lair, and the swamp wyvern is covered with high-grade magic materials, even the dragon's dung can be sold for a good price in DìDū's magic market.
After drying and grinding dragon dung into powder, with some other elixirs, you can synthesize a powder potion called 'dispel', this repellent is mainly used in the camp, you can sprinkle a circle around the outside of the camp, although there is no expulsion effect on creatures such as snakes, ants and poisonous insects, but some large monsters will not easily approach the camp with the smell of dragons.
Walking into this dragon's lair, the only dragon egg in the lair has been taken by Deborah.
The surrounding stone walls were very smooth, and the entire lair was empty except for the dragon dung piled up in the corners.
Dragons are greedy and like to collect treasure, but this is not the case for subspecies dragons such as Wyverns.
There was a layer of white flower beast bones under his feet, and it was difficult to tell which kind of monster the broken beast bones came from, Karantso picked up half of the bones that looked like the eye sockets of the skull, and carefully studied them for a long time before saying, "This may be the skull of a snake lizard beast......
I don't know what she based on this conclusion.
Deborah gathered her wings and walked in from the platform outside, she looked at the empty dragon's nest, and wondered why we had run to the dragon's nest that she had searched, so she spread her hands, shrugged her shoulders at me, and made a look of incredulity, and said to me, "This lair has been searched by me, and the young dragon is in the dragon's nest next to the stone peak." ”
She pointed to the dragon's nest next door.
I nodded to her in understanding.
Then, I instructed Karantso beside me, "Let the female orcs collect all this dragon dung......
After saying that, I casually cut a portal in the dragon's lair, and Karantso immediately walked into the portal and went to the underground cave in the Xinliu Valley to gather the female orcs there.
I stood on top of the broken bones, my leather boots stepping on these bones as hard as gold, and I couldn't believe that the Wyvern's appetite was so good.
At this time, Justes was carrying a pair of bone swords in his hand, and he used the bone sword to open a layer of white bones more casually, and a surprised voice came out of his mouth: "Hey, there seems to be something hidden under the white bones?"
As he spoke, he squatted down and parted the thick layer of white bone on the ground, revealing the uneven ground of the cave, only to see that the ground was full of fist-sized, gray irregular round 'stones'......
However, these strange stones are clearly a bunch of magic cores of different sizes......
Justus was very excited about his discovery, and beckoned to me and said loudly, "Uh, Jiga, look! This place is full of the cores of some dead monsters, these cores should be left behind by these monsters hunted by the swamp dragons, we should search for them here." ”
Deborah obviously didn't want to wait any longer in this dragon's lair, so she whispered to me, "Jiga, you can still find some dragon eggs in the dragon's nest that you haven't explored before, and there are still swamp wyvern calves in the dragon's cave over there, let's not waste time here, we should explore the more important dragon's nest." ”
Just as Deborah began to lobby me, Karantso summoned a group of female orcs from the underground caverns of the Sinwillow Valley and asked Deborah, "Where are you going?"
Seeing Karantso coming out of the valley of the willows, Deborah immediately gathered her wings and shook her head vigorously.
"I mean, if I can catch those wyvern cubs, I think I'll take care of them. When Deborah saw Karantso, she immediately changed her tone and said that she could be as well-behaved as she looked.
In fact, we're not slow to clean these nests at all.
A day later, I stood on the dragon's nest on the last stone peak, the dragon cave here is obviously much larger than the other dragon caves, and the white bones in the dragon's nest are thicker than other dragon nests.
Looking at the seventeen dragon eggs, the three young dragons jumping around, and the eleven boxes of demon cores, all of us took a deep breath in front of these riches, but these seventeen dragon eggs are worth a fortune, which means that in the next few years in the Green Empire, seventeen wurm knights will appear one after another.
Of course, if I had a choice, I would prefer that Prince James's Nanphyr Legion could form such a team of Wurm Knights, at least Prince James has a plane where time flows too fast, and that seat is also an excellent 'ranch' for these wurms.
I don't think His Majesty Charles would allow legions other than the Royal Knights to form this kind of Wurm Knights battle squad for any security reasons.
I'm going to give them to the Royal Academy of Magic, the DìDū Academy of Magic, and the DìDū Institute of Magical Biology, respectively, and these baby dragons can be studied by those magicians, and they are not too dangerous compared to adult wyverns.
For eleven boxes of magic cores, I want to transport them to Xinliu Valley for temporary storage, these magic cores need to be cut, and take out the magic crystals inside, how many magic cores can be solved, this is a gamble of luck, no matter what, but eleven boxes of magic cores even if many lords and nobles can't earn so many magic crystals in their lifetime.
In addition, the dragon dung loaded with 19 light rail trailers has been transported back to the underground warehouse in Xinliu Valley in advance, and the dragon dung must be specially dried before it can be sold.
The loot was unprecedentedly abundant, and everyone's mood was quite high.
......
The ruins of the ancient ruins are surrounded by forty-seven needle-shaped pinnacles, and standing on the platform in front of the dragon's lair, the ruins in the valley can be seen at a glance.
A bottomless big crack appeared in this ruin from south to north, the big crack stretched for about ten kilometers away, the widest place between the cracks was nearly more than 100 meters wide, the crack completely divided this ruins into two parts of the east and west, several rivers converged here, the river water flowed into the bottomless big crack, the whole big crack let out rolling thunder, the momentum was very majestic.
With the exception of this fissure, which is more than a dozen kilometers long, most of the ruins are hidden between the lush woodland, and many of the broken stone walls and broken Roman columns have a thick layer of mosses.
After collecting the spoils of the Dragon's Lair, we made sure that there was no longer a threat from the Dragon's Lair, so we led the team to the ruins in the center of the valley.
This valley is the territory of this group of wyverns, so there is hardly any trace of other magical beasts in the valley rainforest.
The low-lying terrain here, dozens of rivers converge here from all directions, so the water conditions here are quite complicated, after entering this rainforest, I can already recognize the scenery in the surrounding woodland, sure enough, it is completely the same as the scenery in the image magic crystal that Morayar sent me, the only difference is that Morayar and her adventure group strayed into this valley by mistake, and were discovered by a group of wyverns guarding here, and the powerful wyvern group chased them into all directions.
And now, when we enter the valley again, the first thing we do is to clean the valley of the dragons.
Now the whole valley is quiet......
We crossed six fast-flowing river valleys to see the ruins hidden among the giant trees, the mottled stone walls showing the traces of history, the sun shining through the dense rainforest, shining on the moss-covered stone walls, there was a gust of fresh wind, and small white flowers blooming on the stone walls fluttering in the wind.
This is the eastern part of the ruins, seeing this ruins, the hearts of the two sisters Su and Anne are extremely excited, and I am also very emotional, for this trip to the ancient ruins, I have been preparing for almost two years, and I first exchanged the 'Star of Elune' for a precious soul gem in the Dì Dū auction house.
At that time, I didn't expect that the army of the undead would actually go to war with the orc tribe of the Pai Plateau this fall......
I didn't even think that the orc powerhouse killed one of the three major lich kings and obtained a soul gem, which is now in my hands.
In order to find clues to the Soul Horn, Noah and I sailed on the sea of the Wasquiz plane for nearly three and a half months, but the harvest was very satisfying, not only found the Soul Horn, but also tricked Justus, the descendant of the Siren on Dunai Island, out of the way, and finally found the Pirate King's treasure in the waters of Waski.
Step by step to the present, every step is thrilling.
I took my first steps towards the ruins of the valley, and everyone else followed behind me.
Barbarian slaves walked vigilantly on either side of the procession with heavy crossbows in hand.
Just as he was about to enter the ruined ruins, the lizard nobleman Inzaghi behind him stopped and stood outside the ruins.
I turned to look at him, who shrugged my shoulders helplessly, and then at Nathaniel, motioning for him to translate for us.
“...... I'm sorry, Wizard Jiga, I can only follow you here, this ancient ruin in front of me is a place guarded by our ancient Zahr tribe, Muniji tribe, Lakshah tribe, Calicut tribe, and Lamindi tribe, the ancestors gave us instructions, under any circumstances, we must not enter this ruin, so I can only follow you here, we abide by the precepts of our ancestors, and will not enter this ruin. ”
Nathaniel said in a tone mimicking the lizard nobleman Inzaghi.
When I heard Inzaghi say this, I could only nod my head and ask him, "Since the lizard ancestors let you stay outside the ruins?"
Inzaghi nodded like a chicken pecking rice.
So I said, "Then you wait for us in the rainforest outside the ruins, and if we don't come out of the ruins after a week, then don't wait for us any longer, and ride your dragon back to the Guzahr tribe as soon as possible!"
Inzaghi and Cavani stopped with a group of lizardman warriors and waved goodbye to me:
"Good luck with Wizard Jiga. ”
......
Walking into the ruins of the ruined city wall, it looks like it was originally a city, the outermost city wall has completely collapsed, but a large number of stones for building the city wall are scattered in the woodland, these stones are also covered with moss, and it is unusually slippery to step on, and a layer of slimy things sticks to the bottom of the boots, and it feels like walking in the mud when you walk.
The stones used to build the walls were so large that they seemed to require a large man like a barbarian slave to move.
We crossed the stone wall, only to find that the ruins were much larger than we had imagined, and we could still see some broken stone pavement, not completely collapsed low walls of houses, but many places were overgrown with grass and bushes, and we walked through the ruins, which was still quiet and there was no danger in sight.
I stood in front of a round arched stone door, looked up at the broken arched stone beams, and then quickly condensed a water arrow, and in a moment washed away the thick layer of moss from the round arched stone door, revealing the original stone walls inside, which were carved from granite and had some intricate patterns on them.
The stone carvings here are very different from those of the Grimm Empire, and most of the patterns on the stone walls are tropical plants, and I can't understand many of the lines.
A horse lizard emerged from the bushes and in the blink of an eye it burrowed into a crevice in the rocks.
A giant crossbow bolt flew out of the barbarian slave team, chasing the tanuki out, the giant bed crossbow inserted into the gap between the stones, and nailed the two-meter-long horse lizard firmly to the stone wall, and the giant bed crossbow completely overturned the pile of stones.
The barbarian slave ran over in high spirits, pulled out a giant crossbow bolt from the stone, and smashed the dying horse lizard to death with a single punch, slung it on his shoulder and ran back.
I glanced at Justes and told him to take care of the barbarian slaves, and Justes shrugged his shoulders at me and said he could only do his best.
We continued along the ruined stone street, and there was no danger along the way, but the further we went, the more we went, the more intact the ruined walls were, and some of the strange magic symbols I found on these stone walls didn't look like runes, nor any kind of writing I've ever seen......
