Chapter 171: Betrayal
"You want it?" Cronada gently flicked the meteorite of the red crystal, his eyes full of vigilance and scrutiny.
Obviously, for it, this meteorite means not only strength, but also whether it can survive for a long time.
As a magical creature of this size, it needs to absorb a huge amount of energy every day to meet basic needs.
Perhaps nothing will be seen in the decades since the comet, but once the energy in the air begins to thin out, certain special organs begin to fail rapidly, age, and eventually die.
To some extent, the radiant energy emitted by meteorites all the time is equivalent to a life support system, so even a fool will not easily give it to others.
Zhang Cheng undoubtedly knew very well that he had touched the other party's bottom line, and deliberately pretended to be nonchalant and spread his hands: "Please don't get me wrong, I don't want to get it, I'm just borrowing it." Do you think that I have the power to pose a threat to you in this magma-filled place?, and besides, it is you, not me, who desire to break the seal and regain your freedom, so the choice is yours. ”
Klonada's eyes narrowed, as if considering the danger of the matter, and after a full minute, the desire for freedom finally prevailed.
It carefully pinched the crystal crystal meteorite with its claws, placed it in front of Zhang Cheng, and threatened in a low voice: "Human, don't try to play any tricks, otherwise I promise you will taste something more terrible than death." ”
"Thank you for your trust. Rest assured, I haven't lived long enough to die. Zhang Cheng bent down and bowed, picking up a meteorite the size of an adult's head.
As soon as he got his hands on it, he immediately realized why such a small thing could unleash the power to destroy everything in an instant.
The reason is simple, this small crystal contains as much energy as 10,000 times the amount of energy that a crimson comet sheds every time it passes through the world of A Song of Ice and Fire.
What's more, it's still so highly compressed that just holding it in your hand can give the holder countless benefits.
For example, slowly transform oneself to make it have a better magical physique, and then for example, continuously replenish energy consumption, etc.
In short, as the Valyrian Dragon King had envisioned, whoever could fuse this meteorite with himself would become a god walking in the world, at least in the world of a song of ice and fire, nothing could compete with it.
As for the strange ghosts who are regarded as the "number one enemy" in the plot, even the ancestors and the children of the forest can defeat them, and it is equally easy to replace them with the Valyrian civilization in its heyday, and they are not qualified to stand in front of the "gods" at all.
"Human, what are you waiting for, let's get started!" Finding that Zhang Cheng had been in place for a long time, Klonada immediately urged.
For some reason, after the meteorite was out of its control, there was always an inexplicable uneasiness in its heart, as if something not so good would happen next.
"No problem, please take a little step back, I need a few minutes to prepare. As he spoke, Zhang Cheng quietly took out a rune stone from his pocket and activated it, then raised his other hand and pressed it on the huge dragon crystal stone tablet, and began to release white frozen gas.
In the blink of an eye, the hard ice quickly spreads in all directions, centered on the contact surface......
In about five or six minutes, he completely froze the entire stone tablet, and as time passed, the ice became thicker and thicker, and the cold air emitted alone made a small part of the hot magma below solidify and hard.
After ten minutes, the volume of the surface of the stele began to shrink slowly due to the cold, but the interior still maintained a considerable temperature and expanded outward.
Suddenly!
A shrill clicking sound came from the upper right corner.
I saw a very obvious crack emerge!
However, the white lines like spider webs also began to glow, and the cracks were repaired little by little.
"Awesome! Awesome! Great! Go on!Don't stop!" roared excitedly as the dragon stood up at the sight of the hope of breaking the seal.
It has tried countless methods, but in the end they have all failed, not even leaving a small nick on the surface of the stele.
But now, after a long period of freezing, serious cracks have appeared on the surface of the stele, and it believes that as long as it continues, it will only be a matter of time before it is destroyed.
For the first time in thousands of years, it felt so close to being back in the sky and flying freely......
Sensing that the other party's attention had been attracted by the cracks on the surface of the stone stele, Zhang Cheng curled the corners of his mouth slightly, quickly pulled back, and shouted loudly: "It's now!
"Roaring !!!!!"
With a deafening roar, Kronada opened his fang-filled mouth and spewed hot dragon fire straight ahead.
As an ancient dragon that had lived countless years, the flames it spat out were no longer red, but blinding white-gold, and even the air was twisted in the terrifying heat, making it impossible for the eyes to see clearly.
Zhang Cheng, who was waiting for this moment, did not hesitate to crush the glowing rune in his hand, and then bowed slightly to the dragon who was still concentrating on spitting: "I'm sorry, respected Mother of Dragons, I have temporarily decided to change my mind and don't plan to cooperate with you." Anyway, I've already told you how to break the seal, haven't I?"
The words just fell!
His body slowly became transparent, as if it could disappear at any moment.
"No!!! you dare to deceive me?!"
Sensing that something was wrong, Cronada immediately stopped breathing fire, turned around and roared, flapping his strong wings and flapping down.
Eric, who was hiding in the corner, didn't know when he appeared behind Zhang Cheng, raised his sword and stabbed it hard, and said with a cruel smile: "I'm sorry, my lord, I didn't mean to betray you on purpose, I just hope to get a chance, a chance to change my fate." ”
At this critical moment, Zhang Cheng raised his right hand unhurriedly and released the ice pick technique that he had secretly prepared for half a day.
Caught off guard, Eric's whole body was suddenly wrenched into a blur of flesh and blood by countless pieces of broken ice, and in several places even internal organs and white bones were exposed.
"Ahhhhh!!!!!!!h
The pain was so severe that he couldn't help but start screaming, desperately trying to stuff the fallen intestines back.
Unfortunately, it was all in vain, and injuries of this magnitude would result in a few minutes of blood loss at most, unless there was a complete modern medical system, or a powerful magic potion.
"No need to say I'm sorry, I understand your thoughts. What's more, I haven't really given you even the slightest bit of trust in the first place, how can it be called a betrayal?"
After saying this ironic sentence, Zhang Cheng's vague figure dissipated into the air with a snap.
In the next second, the dragon's strong wings slashed through the air and smashed directly into the ground, making a loud noise......
