Chapter 65: The Duck-billed Fire Dragon
At the edge of the magma flow, the scorched ground was covered with clusters of hedron of various sizes, and judging from the dazzling light on the spars, there were many exquisite qualities in them.
But these lava spars are next to the magma flow, and there are bursts of heat on the surface of the spars, and the temperature is afraid to be thousands of degrees.
Haoren didn't care about this, the temperature-resistant miner's hoe could be said to be absolutely suitable here, and there were still a lot of light red magma ash left on the ground, all around the lava crystal, and the temperature was also quite high.
This Haoren is also prepared, two pieces of anti-flame equipment and the 20-point flame resistance surname that comes with the heart of fire, Haoren now has 80 points of flame resistance, when he stepped into the hot area, although he was suddenly covered in sweat, but at least it was still within the range of patience.
A new round of mining began, and Haoren specially selected those fine grade ores to mine, with an average of two to three fine lava crystals in the cluster of crystals, and threw them away from the magma after mining, allowing them to cool slowly.
This kind of work continued for a long time, until Haoren collected about two hundred fine-grade lava crystals and cooled them all to a temperature that a normal person could accept, and then he stopped mining.
"It's not easy to be a miner!" Haoren was so tired and out of breath that he sat down on the rocks, gnawing on the jerky, looking at the crystal clear lava crystal, and his heart was very satisfied.
The next refining work is relatively simple, Haoren takes the blacksmith's hammer and beats it as a whole, the key to refining is compression, and several pieces of refined spars are repeatedly tempered to refine the size, and then become a higher quality ore.
This process took a lot of time, and it was not until the two dazzling spars were quietly presented in front of him that Haoren felt that even his efforts had not been in vain.
Perfect-grade lava crystal: A lava crystal without any impurities, with extremely strong temperature resistance and flame caste, which can be used for advanced forging, construction, alchemy, etc.
The perfect spar is very beautiful, if it is ruby-like, it blooms brilliantly, and the huge cave is immersed in the red light like fire, blurred and brilliant.
Haoren breathed a long sigh of relief, very satisfied with holding the two lava crystals that still had residual warmth, and lay on the ground and fell asleep, he had been mining and refining for the past few days, but he was half dead of exhaustion.
He slept soundly and deeply, and he didn't know how long it was, but in his confusion he vaguely felt something wet licking his face, itchy and slippery. He couldn't help but reach out and push it away, but this thing quickly stuck it up again, repeated a few times, this thing seemed to be a little angry, and suddenly bit Hao Ren the face.
Ouch!
Haoren was finally awakened, and the moment he opened his eyes, he found a pair of dark eyes staring at him, with a flat duckbill head and fiery red short hair, which was clearly a platypus that had gone and returned.
Haoren hurriedly stood up, away from the platypus's tongue desperately rubbing against his face, and said angrily: "Why are you back again!" ”
The platypuses could naturally understand what he was saying, but Haoren couldn't understand the meaning of the rattling sounds.
After staring at him for a long time, Haoren suddenly noticed that something was wrong, the cave seemed to be much darker, and the light emitted by the lava spar actually disappeared.
Haoren quickly found the culprit, not far away near the magma, a duck-billed fire dragon was holding a piece of lava crystal and gnawing on it, looking at its expression of enjoyment, it was estimated that it tasted good!
Haoren was immediately furious, these two perfect-grade lava crystals were refined by how much blood he had spent to refine, and they were actually eaten as food, so he immediately took out the Sword of Glory and rushed over angrily.
However, his footsteps stopped abruptly halfway, and the duck-billed fire dragon raised his fiery red pupils and stared at Haoren for a long time, so that Haoren finally calmed down, and the strength of him and the duck-billed fire dragon was not of the same level.
But how could he swallow this breath, although he had guessed that the platypus might be feeding on this lava crystal, but he didn't expect them to come back and eat the perfect crystal that he had worked so hard to refine.
The duck-billed fire dragon's IQ seemed to be higher than that of ordinary platypus, and it saw Haoren's anger and paced, and the flames all over his body made Haoren feel vigilant.
The duck-billed dragon crouched down and wrote something on the ground with its sharp claws, which were as fragile as tissue paper under its sharp claws, even though the ground was extremely hard rocky.
Haoren looked down curiously, and the duck-billed fire dragon drew out rows of words from the Fourth Civilization Era on the ground, although the writing was crooked, horizontal and vertical, and even lacked words and hyphenation, and the order of the sentences was very problematic, but at least he could barely recognize the general meaning.
He couldn't help but be amazed, as the guardian of ancient civilization, after millions of years of inheritance, he couldn't imagine that the platypus could still maintain a high level of wisdom and pass down the text to this day.
"100% pure spar, the food is fragrant, smells good, delicious." Haoren struggled to distinguish between each word and analyzed the meaning of the duck-billed fire dragon.
"What you're trying to say is that you smell the scent of Perfection-grade lava crystal, so go and come back and have a full meal!"
The duck-billed fire dragon nodded frequently, and drew out a few more words: "I haven't eaten it for thousands of years, it's delicious, thank you!" ”
Thank you, sister!
Haoren almost scolded, but his face was full of smiles: "No thanks, you can leave quickly after eating, don't come back!" ”
Even standing face to face, Hao Ren could feel the surging pressure on the duck-billed fire dragon, the swirling dark red flames meant unimaginable high temperatures, and if he really wanted to do it, he was afraid that a single flame spray could burn him to ashes.
This is an old monster that has lived for thousands of years! From the words of the duck-billed fire dragon, Haoren also learned that this guy has a very long lifespan, even longer than the history of mankind, and it is also the leader of this platypus group.
"100% pure lava crystal, very rare." The duck-billed fire dragon was still struggling to carve words into the rocks.
Haoren burst into tears when he saw it, according to the description of the duck-billed fire dragon, this kind of perfect-grade lava spar without impurities is almost impossible to produce in nature, and although the duck-billed fire dragon has a high degree of intelligence, it is not able to refine the spar like humans. High-quality lava hedron is the equivalent of the sea and the mountains to the platypus, and they haven't eaten it for thousands of years.
Haoren sighed slightly, thinking that these duck-billed clans are quite pitiful, for the heart of fire inherited tens of thousands of years ago, they have guarded it for generations, and this loyalty is really admirable.
"Human, friend."
Haoren complained faintly: "Yes, it's a friend, but you can't eat it for nothing." ”
"Friends, trade, fair." The duck-billed fire dragon exhaled hot breath, thinking about something, as if making a big decision, and then continued to carve: "My life is coming to an end, the offspring will be handed over to you, the continuation of the race, take care of it." ”
Haoren blinked, a little confused about the meaning of these words connected, or maybe he didn't have a thorough grasp of the words of the Fourth Civilization Era?
While thinking about it, the duck-billed fire dragon had already stood up and roared slightly, and the ordinary platypus beasts that were still playing nearby immediately gathered and crawled less than two meters away, looking at this side with awe.
The duck-billed fire dragon took a few steps back from Haoren, its roar became deeper and lower, and it became more and more rapid, and the flames in its whole body suddenly and violently surged, and the temperature in the air continued to rise.
The duck-billed fire dragon's stomach suddenly swelled slightly with an oval orb the size of a fist, and then under its desperate force, the orb gradually shifted from its belly to its abdomen.
"I guess it's because I eat too much and want to excrete." Haoren's face was a little strange.
Every time the sphere moved in its belly, the duck-billed fire dragon had to consume great physical strength, and the flames around it flickered and dimmed, and even for a few seconds, Haoren thought that the flames were about to be extinguished.
After about a quarter of an hour, the duck-billed dragon raised its tail high, and an oval-shaped egg slowly slid down from its lower body, this egg was only the size of a fist and very white.
"It's an egg!"
Haoren was also dumbfounded, and suddenly understood the meaning of the duck-billed fire dragon, and his heart couldn't help but thump, and sure enough, as he thought, the duck-billed fire dragon gasped slightly, carefully picked up the egg with both paws, and walked towards Haoren.
Haoren carefully took the egg, the surface of the egg was as warm as jade, and it seemed that there was still a residual body temperature of his mother, and he held it in the palm of his hand as if he could feel the little life inside trembling slightly.
The platypus dragon looked extremely weak after laying its eggs, and the crimson flames surrounding its body were dimmed a lot, and the platypus whimpered and gathered around, gently licking its body, as if to relieve its exhaustion.
"Are you alright?" Haoren shifted his attention away from the egg, a little worried about the body of the duck-billed fire dragon in front of him.
The duck-billed fire dragon pushed away the platypus that was surrounding him, and continued to crouch down, inscribed the text: "Lava crystal, replenish energy, in order to reproduce, thank you, take care of it." ”
Haoren finally understood that his two perfect-grade lava crystals had replenished the energy of the duck-billed fire dragon, allowing him to give birth to offspring, and now, it was going to entrust its precious offspring to itself.
"I'll take care of it!" Haoren whispered, assuring a mother as a human friend.
The duck-billed dragon is gone, and according to its meaning, its life will soon end after giving birth to its offspring, and I am afraid that it will not come back to this underground cavern.
