Chapter 181: Exploring the Dragon's Lair
Su You's ploy is entirely about leading the player to death.
After using the cooperation of the gold devouring ant and its own trap to trap the player, Su You suddenly found that it was almost impossible for him to compete with many players with his own strength. Even in the Dragonspine Mountains, players can use crowd tactics to consume Su You's combat power, fatigue, and potions.
And if you want to benefit from it or even escape, the resources you can use must firmly grasp the environment and monsters of the Dragonspine Mountains.
After a long search, Su You finally accidentally found the sleeping Vulcan Dragon, and the power of the dragon is often mentioned by players in "Three Realms", even if they have not encountered it. But this top-notch creature has never faded out of the player's view. Su You just watched from a distance for a while, and then had a plan, and then planned with the fat man and the wolf, attracting the players here.
It's just that the only thing Su You didn't expect was that after he left, Shenlong actually woke up. Fortunately, it didn't go far, but hovered in the sky and looked at the ant-like player.
In the face of the dragon, the player does not have the slightest power to resist, and the current level and strength of the player are not high, every time the attack falls on the dragon, it is just to tickle the other party, with the thick scale armor of the dragon and the unpredictable blood and gas value, the player wants to be a dragon slayer warrior, there is no possibility at all. Attacking again and again will only provoke the dragon's increasing irritability and anger.
The number of players has always been too much, because there are still hundreds of thousands of players in the middle of the night that Su You is chasing, these people are walking in the Dragonspine Mountains, which can only be regarded as a drop in the ocean, and when the news is revealed, they all converge towards this side. What everyone doesn't know is that if Shenlong really wants to kill these people in one go, it can be done, but because of some concerns that no one knows, Shenlong can only eliminate the player with a mouthful of dragon fire.
Su You was the director of this matter, and as soon as the dragon attacked and the players were in chaos, Su You thought about leaving as soon as possible. He didn't want to end up falling victim to the dragon's wrath.
It's just that when Su You was about to go away after hiding, he noticed a huge cave on the side of the mountain.
This was when Su You first explored before, because of the obstruction of the divine dragon, Su You did not see the cave, and now it is in front of him, and there is no need to guess at all to know what this cave is for. After some struggle, Su You still chose to stay close to the cave.
Looking at the divine dragon in the sky that was angrily spraying dragon flames, the other party didn't notice that someone on this side had approached his cave.
Su You didn't hesitate any longer, dodged and ran towards the cave.
In reality, fiction and mythology, dragons represent not only supreme power, but also absolute strength, greed and wealth.
Whether it's the West or the East, no matter which continent in the Three Realms, dragons have a penchant for glittering things and a hobby for collecting all kinds of treasures.
Therefore, there is no shortage of dragon slaying warriors in myths and games, and it is better to say that they are to eliminate harm for the people and obtain the highest honor. To put it mildly, almost every dragon slayer is more or less headed for the treasure behind the dragon.
Su You didn't dare to delay too long, because he himself couldn't predict when the divine dragon would return to his cave.
But in the pace of going deep into the cave, Su You was still cautious, the dragon's lair had many benefits, but the dragon would definitely also place some restrictions in the dragon's lair, in case other thieves came to steal its treasures.
Probably because it was a fire-type dragon, the cave was not damp, but even hotter.
I don't know how many, but in the darkness I could faintly see a fiery red light flickering in the depths of the cavern.
There were no crises along the way, not even a single animal, only a lot of animal bones of the same skeleton scattered on the ground, of different sizes. Presumably, this place was supposed to be the territory of other animals before, but it was only because of the arrival of the divine dragon that it eventually occupied this place.
The temperature in the depths is getting higher and higher, and the surrounding rock walls are no longer dark, but reflect a fiery red light.
When the field of vision finally turned from narrow to empty (as opposed to the dragon), a huge lava field appeared in front of Su You's eyes.
Hot lava was pouring in the pool in the middle. Bubbles caused by the heat kept popping up and then bursting, filling the air with a strong smell of sulfur.
Su You covered his mouth and nose with a piece of cloth dipped in water, allowing himself to breathe as little of this poisonous gas as possible, and walked towards a clearing next to the rock pool.
I don't know how long this cave has been occupied by the dragon, Su You didn't find any treasures around, not even a piece of golden light.
It seems that this place is only a temporary habitat for the dragon, not its main lair. Su You was extremely disappointed, and searched the surroundings carefully, hoping to find something from it.
After this careful search, he really found something, Su You found a piece of fiery red scale armor on a raised rock, the size of a basin, almost integrated with the ground, if you are not careful, it is really not easy to find.
This is a piece of the dragon scale of the Fire God Dragon, and I don't know how it fell off the body of the God Dragon, this is a good thing, Su You directly put it into the backpack and continued to search.
The ensuing search did not find any other items on the dragon's body, and Su You's original hope of finding a dragon egg was instantly shattered.
Instead, in a corner, Su You found some fiery red rattans climbing on the rock wall.
These rattans are deeply embedded in the rock pool, climbing all over the rock face, and constantly producing upwards.
Whether it's the leaves or the rattan, it's all fiery red. At the top of the rattan grew several fiery red fruits, the size of pigeon's eggs, and the fiery red crystal clear.
Su You threw a detection skill over, but unfortunately he didn't get any information. But the things that can grow here must be treasures.
Su You carved out a few places to settle on the rock wall, picked all the fruits and put them in his backpack. Under the washing number, there are 16 pieces. It's not a small gain.
Other than that, Su You didn't have anything else.
If you think about it, this should really be a place where the Vulcan dragon lives.
Su You shook his head, then turned around and left quickly.
As soon as he left the rock pool and stepped into the cave, suddenly a fragrance came into Su You's nose.
Although it is separated by a layer of hot and humid cloth, this fragrance still goes straight to the mouth and nose.
Su You turned around violently, and his eyes searched around.
Right in the middle of the rock pond. Where countless magma were boiling, a small stone was slowly rising from the magma, and it was in the middle of the ten. There was a small fiery red tree, with seven or eight green flowers blooming on the small tree, and some green and young fruits hanging around it, and at the top of the small tree, a fist-sized fruit with a fiery red body hung on it.
Just by glancing at it, Su You breathed a breath, and the questions that still had some doubts in his mind were solved at once.
No wonder this place is so hot, no wonder the Vulcan Dragon Dragon left the Dragon Valley and came to this area that is still the outer area of the Dragon's Back Mountain Range to live, all the reasons are naturally from the fruit hanging on the small tree - dragon fruit.
This dragon fruit is not an ordinary fruit in reality, but a special fruit in the "Three Realms", which has incredible abilities. Whether it is for players or monsters, it has a fatal attraction, and the only characteristic that Su You knows is that once this dragon fruit is eaten raw, it is enough to make its own strength and attributes rise forever, and it can also resist the attack of fire attributes. I heard that if it is used for alchemy, the effect will be even greater. Moreover, the attraction of this fruit to the fire attribute divine dragon is also huge.
"No wonder, no wonder there are dragons here. It turned out to be because of a fruit. ”
Dragon fruit takes a long, long time from flowering and fruiting to ripening. And only one fruit will ripen at a time, and when a fruit is picked or ripened naturally, the unripe fruit closest to the top will take a long time to grow again.
Su You didn't expect that his luck was so good, and he met the legendary spirit fruit, and this kind of opportunity could not be missed.
It's just that the fruit grows in the magma in the middle, and if you want to pick it, before you have flying skills, you can only drip through the hot magma, which has become a problem for Su You.
Time waits for no one, not to mention when the divine dragon outside will come in again, as far as the fruit is concerned, if it is not picked within three minutes, it will fall directly to the ground and turn into nothingness.
Thinking frantically about various ways in his mind, Su You finally gritted his teeth and decided that he could only do this.
He quickly took out the bow and crossbow from his backpack, then put on a rope that could withstand the heat, pulled the bowstring, shot it directly, and stared fiercely at a rock that Su You fancied. After tying the other end firmly to a rock on this side and determining the strength to withstand it, Su You slowly crawled towards the center of the magma.
The closer to the center, the more uncomfortable the heat became, and the weight of Su You pressed the rope very low, only a few tens of centimeters away before it touched the magma.
The whole body was already soaked with sweat, and Su You endured the blood qi value of the rapid fall from the magma and the discomfort of his body, moving step by step.
Fortunately, in the end, Su You was not disappointed, and the rope did not break, Su You luckily picked the dragon fruit from the small tree, and then cherished the dragon fruit into the jade box he carried with him specially used to hold valuable medicinal materials, which was relieved.
Legend has it that near this kind of spirit fruit, there will be a particularly powerful monster, I didn't encounter it, it seems that the monster guarding this elixir should be killed by the fire dragon, otherwise I wouldn't have succeeded so easily.
You need to leave quickly, otherwise when the Vulcan Dragon returns, you will definitely die.
Su You followed the rope and planned to climb back again.
At this moment, in the cave where he came, there was a sudden aura so powerful that it was almost suffocating. At the same moment, in the underground rock pool, countless magma began to tumble violently, and even the tight ropes kept shaking.
