Chapter 50: The Dragon's Furnace - The Boulder Chewing Stone Dragon
"Is this really going to work?" Sam couldn't help but ask.
At this moment, he and Green were lying behind a rock, looking at a pile of grass not far away.
"As long as what you say is not wrong, there should be no problem. Green turned back to Sam and nodded.
They were now on an island called the Sunstone in the Viking Sea, and according to Sam's notes, it was often infested with stone dragons, so Green took Sam to this uninhabited island.
Due to its timid nature, the Stonechew usually flies away at the sight of other creatures, so it is not easy to approach, let alone tame it. However, when Green remembered what Sam had said about the Dragon Ball Grass, he immediately thought of a solution: use the Dragon Ball Grass as bait to lure the Stone-Chewing Dragon over, and then come forward to tame it.
As for the way to tame the chewing stone dragon, it is actually very simple, this kind of giant stone dragon that naturally loves to eat all kinds of stones is very docile and emotional, as long as you feed some of the stones it loves to eat, it is easy to get its favor.
"Here's it!" Sam whispered in surprise.
Green hurriedly turned his head back.
I saw a rather fat dragon flying in the sky. It is about four meters long, and its gray skin is covered in large and small pebbles. Two dragon wings that weren't too big were stirring up quickly, and at the end of its body was a huge grenade tail, which combined with its stone-like skin looked very strong overall.
The head of the chewing stone dragon looks a bit like a hippopotamus, but it is a little different. Its rounded jaw wraps around its upper jaw, and many hard teeth are exposed in its mouth. The tip of the nose is not flat like the hippopotamus, but has a triangular bulge on it.
At this time, the Chewing Stone Dragon, which had landed vertically on the ground, was lying on the Dragon Ball Grass and smelling it with an intoxicated appearance, but when Green was about to get up and walk over, it was like a little gangster who had been drugged, quickly flapping its wings and shaking its head and flying back into the sky, and then flew away crookedly.
"What's going on?" Greene was slightly stunned.
"Well, you know, there are two kinds of dragons who smoke dragon ball grass. Sam scratched his head and said.
“......”
Green and Sam didn't have to wait any longer before another stone chewing dragon passed by in the sky.
There was no accident for the second time, and after this stone chewing dragon sucked the dragon ball grass, it suddenly fell into a state of empty staring. Even when Green and Sam walked over with big bags on their backs, it turned a blind eye.
"Can we get started?" Sam asked, pulling some stones out of his package.
"Yes!" Green retrieved the dragon ball grass from the ground into the package.
As for the question of the stone chewing dragon's special love of eating stones, Nibel had told him a few things before. As a dragon's blood animal, why can dragons not be affected even in cold nights or ice and snow? In fact, this is due to the special body structure of dragons.
Almost all dragons have an internal heat source inside their bodies, which is the organ through which they breathe dragon breath and regulate body temperature.
In the body of the Stone-Chewing Dragon, there is a huge stomach that resembles a furnace, which can melt those different stones into magma, and then absorb the necessary elements of the body from those molten stones.
At that time, Green asked a particularly concerned question, why wouldn't the body of the stone chewing dragon be burned from the inside by this high-temperature "furnace"?
Nibel told him that his original owner had dissected the corpse of a stone-chewing dragon and found that its stomach contained a special substance similar to a fire-resistant layer. This substance is formed over the years after eating ores such as graphite and clay.
Then his master also discovered that after feeding some iron ore to the Chewing Stone Dragon, the molten metal it spits out cooled down, and it was able to form a kind of steel of decent quality, and this steel was named "Chewing Stone Dragon Steel".
Green was amazed by the strange ability of the Chewing Dragon, and came up with some special ideas, such as feeding the Chewing Dragons some clay and limestone in proportion, and whether the clinker it spits out can form cement after cooling.
After all, the temperature of iron ore smelting is not much different from the firing temperature of cement.
And there is also the fact that if you feed some soda ash, limestone, and quartz stone to the chewing stone dragon in proportion, it is impossible to spit out the glass melt after controlling the time, of course, there are many similar ideas.
Nieber was shocked by Green's brainstorming, but did not veto the feasibility of such an operation, of course, all of this needs to be tried by Green himself.
And now he and Sam are trying to do just that.
"Sunstone, clay stone...... Green, do you know why the Stonechewers like to eat these stones?" Sam asked curiously as he fed the stones to the Stonechewers, who were unconsciously chewing on the stones.
"Hehe, you can understand it this way: the Chewing Dragon needs to eat these ores regularly to repair the stomachs that have been corroded and peeled off by the hot lava, otherwise it will be burned from the inside by its own dragon breath. ”
"Dragons are afraid of fire, too?" Sam was surprised.
"There is no absolute substance that is not afraid of fire, it is just that their melting points are different. ”
Sam scratched his head in confusion, Green would always say something new he had never heard before.
"Boom!
The chewing stone dragon, whose brain was only temporarily turned on for a while, quickly came to its senses, and it was stunned when it saw the two humans who suddenly appeared in front of it, and then wanted to fly away in fear, but it was soon stuffed with a mouthful of delicious stones in its mouth.
"Boom!
The chewing stone dragon involuntarily chewed again......
Sam noticed the state of the stone chewing dragon, and immediately cried out in surprise: "Look, Green, it didn't fly away." ”
"Hehe, Sam, you're halfway there, keep it up to it! Give it a name, and talk to it a little bit more and develop a relationship. ”
"Name?" Sam's eyes lit up, and he touched his chin, "I'm going to have to think about it." ”
"What's your name? Little baby, no, you're not small!"
"Little rocks, it's not good, it's too earthy! It doesn't match your pretty looks. ”
"It's still called Little Meatball, hehe, it's a name that is very similar to my favorite food! ”
Standing aside and looking at Sam, who was already sitting side by side with the stone dragon, babbling, Green was stunned for a moment and shook his head.
Chewing the stone dragon?pretty?What kind of ghost aesthetic is this fat man?
He really doesn't have anything else to look good about except that he thinks the chewing stone dragon looks a little stupid.
