Chapter 3: Meet the Dragon

Avoiding the people in the village, the two finally climbed to the cave located halfway up the mountain, shortly after noon.

Although the entrance of this legendary cave of death was sealed with wood, the wood had rotted and scattered all over the ground, revealing a black hole. Looking through the entrance of the cave, the cave stretched into the ground in a straight line, and it was pitch black as far as the eye could see, let alone who knew how deep it was.

A yin wind blew out of the cave, and Wright couldn't help but shiver, and picked up a stone and threw it into the cave, wanting to see how deep the cave was, but unfortunately, the cave was unfathomable, and the stones thrown into the cave did not make an echo.

Wright, who knew how deep the cave was, let out a "wow", turned around, and rolled his eyes at Raels, "This cave is unfathomable, do you really want to go down and explore?" I think if you accidentally fall down from here, you will even break your bones." ”

Raels didn't speak, but walked straight under the stone next to the cave entrance, and quickly pulled out the long rope that had been prepared.

Wright didn't know what Raels was going to do, so he muttered to himself, "It's not a joke, the villagers say that this cave has existed since ancient times." If there were treasures that had been taken away a long time ago, I don't think you should take any risks, if you die in an accident, our family will be very sad......"

"The more this guy talked, the more outrageous it became, and I called him over, but I just asked him to prepare me for the next hole. If I let this guy talk about it any longer, I don't even think he has the courage to go into the hole. Raels muttered to himself as he took the rope.

"Where did this rope come from?" Wright couldn't help but wonder when he saw the pile of ropes.

Raels smug one end of the rope to his body and said proudly: "This is not an ordinary rope, I made it from the bark of those thousand-year-old trees, I have been here for a long time, but I have not been able to make up my mind to enter the hole." You see, tie the rope to me, and you slowly lower me on it, and then hang me up when I'm done exploring, and that's all it takes!"

After tying the rope to his body, Raels walked quickly to the entrance of the cave, and as his lower body slowly entered the hole, Raels's hands also tightly grasped the ground on the hole.

Wright carefully carried the rope around Raels, lowering him little by little.

And with Wright's help, Raels also managed to reach the bottom of the cave.

Raels quickly untied the ropes from his body, and waited until his eyes had adjusted to the darkness before pulling out the sword and shield he had brought with him, and carefully groped his way forward.

"Knock knock!"

Raels walked forward smoothly like this, about five miles, and for some reason, at a bend, Raels's head hit the stone wall with a "bang".

"How so?" said Raels, touching his aching head in confusion, "Is it possible that it will come to an end so soon?"

Confused, Raels could only take out a phosphorus fire rod from his pocket and rub it with the help of the stone wall.

The yellowish phosphorescence reflects the light in the cave. This phosphorus fire rod is the hunter's fire, and it is generally unwilling to waste it until the last moment.

In the light of the fire, Raels saw that the original path had come to an end. But there are two forks on the left and right sides of the road, which one should I take?

Raels held the phosphorus fire rod and pondered: "When I saw these two paths, it was my instinctive reaction to choose the one on the left. The people who went in before would probably have instinctively chosen the left path just like me. However, traps are usually set on roads that are often walked by people, after all, the people who set the traps do not want the traps they set up to be stepped on. In this way, there is a good chance that there will be a trap on the left road. ”

With years of experience in hunting and setting traps, Raels chose the right instead of the left side.

Raels had walked about ten miles to the right when he suddenly noticed a flicker of light ahead.

Raels then ran briskly. When he saw the scene in front of him, his mouth suddenly opened wide.

At the end of the road, he saw the legendary treasure!

Next to a small lake, a pile of purple crystals shone in a thousand purple and red light under the light of the phosphorus fire rod, which was dazzling and dizzying.

The essential item for a magician to perform magic is the grade of magic crystal, which also determines the magic power of the magician.

Like the magician's magic, crystals also have levels: white, black, yellow, red, and purple. Among them, the purple crystal is the highest level of crystal, and the magic power used to make the magic crystal is the most powerful, but unfortunately, the production of amethyst is very low. Therefore, in order to get a piece of amethyst, people tend to pay a higher price to compete for it.

Over time, amethyst became a symbol of wealth!

In Raels's view, if he can get a piece of amethyst in this life, he will be content. I didn't expect that there would be so many amethysts in front of me. The incredible Raels pinched his thigh hard to see if he was dreaming.

But when he was pinched in the thigh, there was a sharp pain, and he knew that he was not dreaming.

"With so much amethyst, what should I do with it?"

Before seeing so many amethysts, Raels often fantasized about what he would do with a bunch of amethysts if he got his hands on them one day. However, when so many amethysts appeared in front of him, he didn't know what to do, so he stared blankly at the amethyst with purple light.

Time is ticking, and I don't know how long it has been.

A sharp pain came from the palm of his hand to bring Raels back to his senses. Touching the sore palm, Raels realized that it was the phosphorus fire rod in his hand that burned his hand when it burned out.

As for the surroundings, after the glow of the phosphorus fire rod disappeared, it became pitch black again.

Raels's body trembled, and for some reason, his hair stood on end. At the same time, a heavy and rough gasp also came from in front of him.

"What's that?"

Raels, whose body trembled incessantly, finally raised his head and looked towards the place where the wheezing sound came. Although the place, as on this side, was still pitch black, the thing that made a wheezing sound seemed to have a red light scattered from its body, and the red light directly illuminated its outline.

And as its silhouette became brighter and brighter, Raels could see clearly, it was a dragon!

It is more than twenty meters tall, and two giant dragon's eyes that glow red like lanterns, even in the dark night, the fierce light revealed still makes people shudder, making Raels's heart as if it has been stabbed by a sharp knife, the hair on its whole body stands on end, and its body trembles non-stop.

In the middle of its mouth, which protruded forward and was five or six meters long, there were rows of neatly stenching and slightly blackened teeth, and under the reflection of the red light emitted by its eyes, one could see a stream of crystal white light, constantly passing through it. With such sharp teeth, it can penetrate even three or four meters thick steel plates in one fell swoop.

Its well-veined purple scales, several times thicker than the armor on a soldier's body, clinged to it. It's just that between the scales, there is constant blood oozing out.

At this time, it was only coiled on the ground, otherwise it would never be only about 20 meters high.

This is the dragon! In ancient times, dragons dominated the entire continent of Asia.

In addition to their extremely ferocious, irascible, and bloodthirsty nature, they are immune to magic. As a result, everywhere they go, corpses are strewn all over the field, and rivers of blood are flowing. And under the destruction of their annihilating nature, the other creatures on the continent of Asia and Asia were almost killed by them.

Fortunately, the god sent a curse in time, killed many dragons, and in order to punish them, he also reduced their reproductive ability to extremely weak. Eventually, due to their weak reproductive ability, they gradually disappeared from the continent of Asia and became legendary creatures that people often talk about.

"Isn't it extinct?"

Raels, who walked into the cave, never imagined that he would encounter this legendary thing. I don't know if it was too scared, or for other reasons, at this moment, Raels's legs were like lead tied, and he couldn't move.

At the same time, the dragon, whose eyes were shining red, also spotted Raels who had broken in.

"This ignorant human being, there will always be someone to die. ”

White turbidity suddenly came out of the dragon's protruding mouth, and the two nostrils that were difficult to find came out, and touched the smoothed stone wall in front of its nose, and the stone wall seemed to be hit by a strong impact, and large pieces of stone, like meteorites falling, fell to the ground in a slump.

There was a thudding sound, and small craters appeared on the ground.

"This ......"

The dragon exhaled a single breath and let the stone wall suffer such a heavy blow, how strong is the dragon?

At this moment, Raels, almost like a fish on a chopping board, looked at the dragon motionlessly, as if waiting for death to come.

"Shhh

The dragon that spit out turbid breath poked out its long mouth, revealing the foul-smelling teeth inside, and the air full of magical elements quickly gathered towards its mouth, and as its neck rose, its mouth retracted, and the magical elements that gathered around its mouth rushed towards its body as if it was attracted by something.

"It's obviously inhaling, why would it inhale such a rich magical element into its body?"

Looking at the dragon that sucked the magic element in, Raels's mouth was open. Magic elements are the source of magicians to cast magic, usually before magicians cast magic, they will strive to gather magic elements, and sometimes in order to gather a large number of magic elements, magicians will also use amethyst, this kind of ore that can gather magic, to help themselves gather magic.

It's the first time I've seen a dragon suck in magical elements by inhaling them directly. Such an extraordinary way of inhaling magical elements, let alone Raels, even the top magicians on the continent would cry out when they saw this scene.
