There was a slight tremor inside the canyon.

It's like a relatively weak earthquake, and it doesn't feel very obvious, but this kind of shaking is real, and it still comes out of the ground at a steady frequency, and the feeling is like a heartbeat, full of rhythm one at a time. The remaining earth elementals in the canyon stayed in place as if they were sluggish, and after a while they gathered together, and then burrowed down the altar into the ground, not knowing where they had entered.

About a few dozen kilometers from the canyon, on the edge of the Emerald Mountains, there is a dragon's lair built on a mountain cliff.

Most of the Dragon's Lair is very precipitous, this is the dragon's first line of defense, and it is difficult to reach it normally, as it is surrounded by cliffs. This tavern story is very fake, because the heroes all walked all the way to the dragon's lair, in fact, most of the time to enter the dragon's lair, you need to climb hundreds of meters of cliffs, and at this time you need a lot of tools. The heavily armored warriors were the hardest pressed at this time, and if they didn't have the blessing of the Flying Technique from the caster professional, it would take a while to climb up.

Geography is just the first problem, there are many traps in the vicinity of the dragon's lair, including very deadly spell traps.

If you're unlucky, you'll also find a small labyrinth guarded by monsters that are slaves of the dragons, working and feeding them. But most of the time, only the old dragons are guarded by monsters, and the young dragons are not so confident that they can control those slaves at all times.

This is the lair of a bronze dragon.

There were obvious signs of man-made modification around the dragon's lair, that is, the dragon had flattened the stone wall near the mountain peak, turning it into a vertical right angle of ninety degrees, and it was difficult for the basically flightless creature to think of it. In front of the lair is a large platform, and the dragon also needs space to take off and land, and it is more difficult to fly with a flap of its wings, and they hunt in a dive followed by an arc gliding into the sky.

A copper-colored dragon crawls in its nest.

It looks almost indistinguishable from the legendary dragon, except that its forelimbs are thicker. The color of the pupils is already very pale and it looks like turquoise. Dragons' physical characteristics are important because they represent their most ferocious physical attacks. Dragon's breath is not the deadliest, many spells can resist dragon's breath, shield blocking can also do, and experienced high-level adventurers know that more dangerous than dragon's breath are dragon wing slapping and dragon claw tearing.

It was a sleeping dragon, but now it has woken up.

It lay on a treasure pile that was nearly half a story high, a dazzling golden light shone, and the hideous dragon head looked in the direction of the canyon. Dragons are very hungry when they wake up from slumber, and they are even more aggressive at this time. It stretched out its long, narrow crimson tongue and rolled up a metal ore the size of a basin from the side. It was as crunchy as eating chocolate, and the sharp fangs easily crushed the hard ore, and the red bronze dragon only took a few seconds to gnaw off a piece of ore, and then licked the teeth with its long and narrow tongue, and said slowly: "Which fools woke up the earth spirit?" Are they not afraid to bear the wrath of the earth? ”

After gnawing off a piece of ore, the red bronze dragon regained a little energy, and it stretched its huge dragon wings and walked out of the lair, in front of the dragon's lair was a platform tens of meters wide, but after it came out, it still felt that the space was too small. The bronze dragon stands at the top of a steep mountain wall hundreds of meters high. Looking down at the land in front of him, this is its territory. Copper-colored metal scales glistened in the sunlight, and the fierce, hideous and graceful creature raised its head and leaped off the cliff with a sharp leap. After diving down for dozens of meters, he flapped his dragon wings and soared into the air, rushing into the air thousands of meters in the blink of an eye.

An invisible coercion spread, and the animals that migrated to the vicinity fled for their lives as the dragon slumbered.

It didn't even look at the poor reptiles, flapped its dragon wings and flew towards the plains a hundred kilometers away. There are strong split-hoofed cows, which are variants of rhinoceros and can weigh around three tons. It's enough to feed it for a full meal.

A dark underworld.

In a dark red cavern, a monstrous creature like a ball of flesh slowly opened its eyes.

The walls on all four sides were dark red, and they seemed to have some kind of mineral, and the eyes of the creature were so startled that it opened the huge single eye in the center of its head, and then opened the eyes on the tentacles around it. Its eye stalks are like earthworms, its body diameter is about five meters, and no body touches the ground, but the whole sarcoma-like head is strangely suspended in the air. The dense dozens of tentacles are covered with eyeballs, like a dense burst of arrays, which makes people's scalp tingle at the first sight.

"The Earth Spirit has awakened!"

Its massive mouth was covered with sharp fangs, and it glanced around with a cold, merciless gaze before levitating and flying out of the cavern, where it had been asleep for more than a decade. The newly awakened Eye Demon was hungry, it had consumed so much energy for further advanced mutations that even its original minions had become food for its mouth. It doesn't matter, though, as long as it wants to charm more servants in the Underworld soon.

An invisible web of perception spread.

I don't know if it's an advanced Eye Demon Elder or a Giant-Eyed Tyrant, but it must be a legendary-level Eye Demon flying out of the lair, and soon a team of gray dwarves entered its perception range. It flew quietly and silently, without any sound, and a ray of light shot out from the eyeball on one of the tentacles, shooting a gray dwarf through the head in an instant, and the remaining gray dwarves let out a terrified scream, and those who tried to escape were instantly killed by the rays, and the rest were kneeling on the ground and shivering.

The huge eye demon opened its mouth and swallowed half of the body of a gray dwarf's corpse, as the blood basin chewed heavily, drops of blood and flesh spilled, and its central one-eye glanced at the survivor coldly, and with the aura of a spell, all the surviving gray dwarves had dull expressions, and knelt in front of it respectfully and said, "Master." ”

The dull eyes gradually recovered, and the spiritual imprint left by the charm spell had begun to take effect.

The gray dwarf's eyes cleared, but he picked up the corpse of his companion with great respect and began to serve his new master to eat.

………………

Sauron and his party returned the way they came.

The halfling was still happily counting the gems, and Golia gently lifted her long hair and looked behind her, her expression seemed to be a little strange. Before leaving, she seemed to feel something, it was a fluctuation of energy from underground. Sauron walked behind with Vivien on his back, and suddenly he seemed to sense something. The cold hairs on his whole body suddenly rose, and his palms unconsciously held on the scimitar, and at the same time he looked up at the sky in the distance. He felt the same way as the halfling, and the jewels in Aladdin's hand fell to the ground, and he pulled out his dagger in an instant.

Golia's whole body stiffened, and she subconsciously blessed an energy shield, and then looked into the distance with her eyebrows tightened.

A hideous and huge figure swept through the sky like a shadow!

Sauron's face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Bronze Dragon! ”

It was an adult bronze dragon, and it didn't even notice the tiny human who had been blessed with stealth underground, and it was very hungry when it just woke up. The last thing I want to do now is grab an adult male split-hoof cow and feast on it. The whole team was startled by the flying dragon, all the creatures in the area covered by the dragon were affected, the only one that was more normal was the little girl on Sauron's back, she raised her little head to look at the dragon in the sky, and muttered, "It looks so majestic!" ”

Vivien didn't know what she was thinking in her little head, and there was a longing expression on her cute little face.

But no one paid attention to her at this time.

It wasn't until the dragon had flown that the others breathed a sigh of relief, and Sauron couldn't help but quicken his pace, and the halfling put away the gem as well. Trot ahead to keep up with them.

It's a full-grown dragon.

With a Legendary challenge level, they don't want to encounter such creatures right now.

Behind them.

The druid, who was tracking, suddenly stopped, pulled a feather out of his messy hair, and began to chant a spell at a rapid pace. The whole person turned into an eagle in an instant. The eagle spread its wings and soared hundreds of meters into the air, and after glancing in the direction the dragon had left, it turned around and flew to the other side. An adult bronze dragon sleeping near the Emerald Mountains has awakened, and this matter must be told to His Excellency the Earthwalker. Even if the metal dragon is kind-hearted, it is also very dangerous.

All dragons are a little moody!

When they saw a dragon flying by alive, everyone had no intention of staying. They traveled overnight and finally returned to their original elven village the next day. The village is still very peaceful, and no creature will attack the elves at will, as this will attract retaliation from the Forest Patrol Guards.

Deterring the enemy requires not only great force, but also some cruel means!

The elves have no grace when it comes to revenge, and they are equally bloody when dealing with alien enemies, otherwise the nearby ogres, half-bloods, and wilderness monsters would not have migrated elsewhere one by one. Those elven patrols had bloodstains on their hands, and they would definitely not hunt any fewer creatures than Sauron did now. Every race has a group of cold-blooded and ruthless warriors, who, unlike ordinary civilians, are on a mission to fight and kill!

Sauron and his party finally returned to the inn, and the halflings began to distribute the spoils with some impatience.

Sauron got forty percent, Aladdin got thirty percent, Golia only took three elemental cores in addition to the first two crystals, and finally even Vivien got a dozen or so gems. The little girl lifted the gem in front of Sauron with a look of satisfaction, because her small palm could not grasp so much, but her face was a lovely look of offering treasures. Sauron just gently touched her little head and told her to put the gem away herself. So she smiled and packed the gems into a delicately embroidered silver-edged dimensional bag, which was already full of many things.

Once the distribution is complete, Sauron will have a chance to take a look at the legendary item!
