Chapter Eighty-Four: The Demon King and the Running Fire Serpent
In the thick fog, Grimm and the white-robed assassin followed a man from a distance.
The fog in the evening was much thinner than in the morning, but it was still only ten meters away. Although the fog limited his vision, Green was unaffected.
The man left the village, went to the field to pick some vegetables, and then returned to the village.
Standing at the gate of the village, Green felt a little aggrieved.
"You said it before...... He's going to report to the Red Dragon? The white-robed assassin looked at Green with a subtle look.
"This plot doesn't follow the routine, and I'm desperate!"
"Huh~" the white-robed assassin looked at Green with a mocking face, "It's better to follow my way." ”
"What are you going to do?"
"Others may not know, but the village chief definitely knows the location of the dragon's nest." The white-robed assassin made a neck wiping motion, "We can kidnap him and force him to hand over the map!" ”
"It's a really good idea, and if we miss it, we have to face the wrath of the villagers. Ah, no, wrong, it should be said that no matter what the outcome, in the end we will have to face the wrath of the villagers. ”
"As long as we succeed in killing the dragon, the villagers won't have any opinions."
"Hmm...... Well~ you have a point. If the dragon slaying fails, we don't need to consider the opinions of the villagers. ”
"Just wait for my good news." The white-robed assassin looked around, suddenly rushed into an alley, and quickly climbed onto the roof.
"Maybe we can ask a few more people in the village and see if anyone is willing to take the initiative to tell us where the dragon's nest is......" Green looked at the white-robed assassin who had disappeared into the shadows and thought for a moment, "Well, it seems that you can't hear anymore." ”
Green thought about it and decided to walk around the village to see how it went.
As Green passed by the tavern, Beladonna suddenly stopped Green, "Huh? Aren't you out Green, aren't you? ”
"There was a little bit of an accident. Because the plot doesn't follow the routine, I'll come back. Green thought for a moment, "By the way, do you know who in the village knows the location of the dragon's nest?" ”
"I was about to tell you this." Beladonna looked around, pulled Grimm into a corner, and handed him a piece of parchment.
"This is...... Map? A hint of surprise appeared on Green's face, "A map marking the location of the dragon's lair?" Where did you get that? ”
"I don't know. I found it in the carriage. ”
"Okay. It seems that not everyone is on the same page as the village chief. Green looked in the direction of the village chief's house, turned to the merchant's eldest lady, and said, "Thanks, this is very useful to me." If that chattering assassin returns, tell him I'm already in the Dragon's Lair. ”
"It's getting dark, so it's better to rest for the night and set off tomorrow." Beladona suggested.
"It's good in the evening. At night, red dragons usually sleep in their nests, just in time to go to scout. ”
Green said goodbye to Beladona and left the village, heading straight for the location of the dragon's lair marked on the map.
Northwest of the Foggy Canyon, in the Lataire Mountains.
The steep Lataire Mountains are covered with gray-black rocks, and occasionally tenacious shrubs can be seen growing out of the crevices and swaying in the wind. A huge cave was hidden behind a thick fog, and the corpses of several kobolds lay quietly at the mouth of the cave......
Green stood at the entrance of the cave, looking at the kobold corpses on the ground, frowning slightly.
"Someone has already arrived first?" A subtle expression appeared on Green's face, "That's really bad news. ”
Although there are some surprises, it is also reasonable.
For ordinary people, the dragon is like a natural disaster, but for some powerful adventurers, the dragon is a moving treasure. Slaying dragons is risky, but the rewards are also high, once successful, just the dragon corpse is enough to make people worry about food and clothing for a lifetime, if you can find the treasure of the dragon, it is not impossible to be rich and rival the country.
"It's a little tricky. I didn't expect to encounter this kind of boss grabbing situation in this world......"
Green walked over and examined the body on the ground. The corpse was already cold, and all the kobolds were killed with one blow.
Green hesitated for a moment, and walked into the cavern.
The cave is littered with kobold corpses. After walking for a while, the road suddenly split into two!
Green looked down to examine the marks on the ground......
The footprints on the ground were messy, but I could barely find a few pairs of human footprints.
"This way." Green followed the human footprints into a passageway.
I hadn't taken a few steps when there was a sudden roar ahead!
"Roar! ~”
A fierce roar echoed through the cavern, shaking Grimm's dizziness.
Green covered his ears and shook his head. At this moment, Green discovered that Thousand Shadows had actually broken away from the shadows.
Green was a little surprised: "You're hurt?" ”
The Shadow Walk is immune to all physical damage, and this level of roar shouldn't hurt Thousand Shadows.
"Master, danger!" Thousand Shadows directly picked up Green, carried it on his shoulders, turned around and ran out of the cave!
Green was carried on his shoulders like a sandbag by a thousand shadows, his face full of confusion.
"Did something happen?" Green looked around.
"I don't know!" Chikage rushed out of the cave like a whirlwind, "I feel the danger. Intense danger! ”
At that moment, the earth began to shake, and it became more and more violent! Rubble fell from the roof of the cave and smashed on Green.
"Earthquakes? Wrong! Could it be ......," an ominous premonition welled up in Green's heart, "that red dragon blew up the volcano!?" ”
Soon, Chikage rushed out of the cave with Green and ran down the mountain, as the mountain began to shake and smoke.
It didn't take long for the red magma to pour out of the Dragon's Lair cave and turn into a huge fiery serpent, crawling down the mountain, chasing after the fleeing Green and his party.
Chikage is very fast. Even if she was carrying Green, it didn't affect her speed in the slightest.
Green stared at the sky tightly.
Through the infrared vision, Green saw a huge source of heat soaring through the sky, like a giant bird.
"The worst possible outcome." Grimm hated it, "Those waste adventurers not only failed to kill the red dragon, but woke it up. ”
The red dragon circled in the sky and flew in one direction.
Looking at the direction in which the red dragon was heading, a sense of foreboding swelled in Green's heart!
"Not good! The dragon has gone to the village! Green's eyes flickered, "Thousand Shadows, put me down." ”
"Master, it's not safe yet."
"It's fine. The lava can't run as fast as you can. Put me down. ”
“…… Good. Chikage put Green down.
After his feet touched the ground, Green hurriedly took out a bamboo tube-shaped thing from his arms, pointed it at the sky, and opened it!
“biu~”
A red flare flew into the sky and exploded with a snap.
In the dark night sky, this flare is very conspicuous.
"Keep running." Green beckoned to a thousand shadows and ran down the hill.
