After finding the salamander nests hidden deep in the lava mines, the ogre Gullitum has come to regard the salamanders in these caves as 'yellow sheep in a sheepfold'.

'Since these salamanders live in Surdak's territory, then of course they are the private property of Baron Surdak. Gulit figured this out, and stopped hunting the salamanders and drying their dried meat, believing that the living salamanders were more valuable than the dead.

As for the salamander, which was covered in hedron residue, he was one of the few mutated salamanders in the salamander group, and one of the strong contenders for the salamander leader in that salamander group, but he seemed to have been driven out of the group by the leader of the salamander group, so he could only roam around in the lava mine with no fixed nest.

Once this nest-fixed salamander crawls out of the cavern, it is a terrifying potential threat to the kobold slaves of the lava river mines.

So Gulitham has been looking for the salamander lately, trying to hunt down the big one.

The ogre Gullitam did encounter the salamander twice in the cave, and the other was a three. Rank Warcraft, that guy is not too afraid of Gulitem, after two battles, Gulitum didn't take any advantage, and when Surdak met him, he was injured a little.

Although the wound healed quickly under the treatment of the Holy Light Technique, in this way, it aroused the stubborn temper in the ogre's bones that refused to admit defeat.

He sharpened some of the steel bars to the extreme, and these steel bars were inserted into the rock crevices one by one, just waiting for the crystal salamander to pass through these stone crevices, if the salamander did not want to be trapped in the cage woven by the steel bar, it was bound to make the sharp steel bars cut through the stomach.

These rebars were brought to him from the village of Wo by horse-drawn carts transporting sulphur ore, and these short rebars were basically scraps cut off from the main frame of the reservoir embankment, and the villagers liked to use these bars to make tools such as sickles and machetes, pickaxes, and chisels, and some of the hunters in the village liked to use these bars to make short spear tips and arrowheads to hunt limestone iguanas in the barren lands.

There were a lot of things left in the warehouse, and when he heard that Gulit needed them, the village coachman brought a bundle to them, and Gullitham found a whetstone and sharpened the steel bars like sharp spear tips.

In recent days, he has been wandering in the depths of the cave, using some sulfur as bait, trying to lead the crystallized salamander into the trap, but the salamander seems to have opened its rudimentary wisdom, facing a large number of traps in the stone crevices, and has recently only been willing to hide in the hot magma pool, even if Gulitham has just appeared, it will be like a frog by the river, 'poof', jumping into the magma pool, shaking its giant tail and quickly diving to the bottom.

The crystallized salamander has to fight the ogre Gullit every day, which is probably the source of the ogre's daily joy.

This kind of fight won't polish the ogre's fighting skills, but it will make him think a little more when dealing with his prey.

……

Surdak brought some salamander jerky into the Treasure Chamber, which was much better than scones and marching rations, though he was occasionally summoned by Aphrodite to the Magic Airship for a dinner cooked by the Magic Airship Chef.

But more often than not, he still had to crouch alone in the secret room and nibble on baked wheat cakes.

At this time, it is also a good choice to have some salamander jerky.

Just as Surdak was immersed in the sea of spiritual consciousness and carefully studied the fourth rune, 'Nafu', he had now figured out that learning how to read and write these runes was only the most basic, so that he could only understand the most basic pronunciation of the dragon language, and each dragon language was composed of these rune arrangements.

These runes also gave Surdak his first glimpse into the mysteries of magic, although this is somewhat different from the spells and magic patterns that humans currently master, but this is magic in the original sense. It's just that every time you learn one more rune, the way these runes are arranged and combined increases exponentially, and Surdak has passed the best age to learn, so in the face of the bombardment of these runes, every time he is about to collapse his spirit, he will withdraw from the sea of spiritual consciousness to rest.

Meditation continued again and again, and unconsciously, continued to grow his spiritual consciousness.

Although his cultivation in terms of strength had stagnated as a result, the Spiritual Consciousness Sea had recently expanded nearly twice as much as before, and he had seen a wider star field in the Spiritual Consciousness Sea.

……

The red dragon once again passed through the stone wall of the war relief and came to the secret room, and a faint dragon power instantly enveloped the entire treasure secret room.

There was a strong smell of sulfur smoke in the cave, and this time it seemed that it couldn't control itself, and when it turned its head, it crashed into a stone pillar in the treasure chamber, and immediately smashed the half-cut stone pillar apart and rolled down into the chamber.

It buries its head in a pile of gold coins full of gold coins. It desperately needed to eat some red crystals to restore the rapidly dissipating energy in its body, but those glittering gold coins had become the biggest obstacle to its eating.

It shook its head a little impatiently, turned its head to see Surdak sitting on a cast-iron chair, it approached Surdak, and stared at Surdak's body with huge eyes, although its eyes were full of confusion and doubt, but it did not make any aggressive movements.

It sniffed the smell of Surdak's body seriously, stared at the dragon bone necklace around Surdak's neck with a pair of huge eyes, relying on the instinct of the strong body, feeling a few lines of fate connected to the human in front of him, the irritable emotions in his heart suddenly became calm, it gasped softly a few times, and a wave of sleepiness surged in the depths of its body.

The scaly chin lay on the stone platform, and the huge dragon head leaned against the dragon saddle made of Seryin, slowly closed his eyes, and it didn't take long for him to snore.

……

Surdak woke up from his sea of consciousness, he felt a little tired mentally, and he needed something to eat to replenish his strength.

When he opened his eyes, a huge red dragon head full of scales appeared in front of him, and this time he saw this red dragon, and Surdak was not frightened.

He stepped down from the cast-iron chair, walked as lightly as he could, and walked to the dragon's head covered in crystal red scales, and for the first time he looked at the behemoth so closely, Surdak found that the scales on its body seemed to be arranged in some mysterious order, each scale contained countless magic patterns, and the countless scales made these magic patterns stitched together into a huge magic pattern circle, forming the first natural barrier of its body.

Those tough and huge scales are the second defensive barrier of its body, the neck of this red dragon is about ten meters long, close to the stone wall of the war relief, you can already see the gorgeous shoulder and neck wishbones of this red dragon, the dragon skin on the neck is a little loose, and there is a row of sharp thorns like dragon mane on the back.

Surdak found that a wound on its neck seemed to have been cut by a sharp blade, although only a few dragon scales were cut, but this wound also made Surdak know clearly in his heart that the world in which this red dragon lived was also full of crises.

Almost as a habit, Surdak stretched out his hand, and a trace of holy light poured out of his palm, and then this holy light fell on the red dragon's wounds.

As if a beam of light shone into the wound of the red dragon from top to bottom, quickly healing the wound on the red dragon's neck, the red dragon seemed to feel the pain, and let out a low roar in his sleep, and then the huge eyes larger than a coconut opened, and stared at Surdak standing in front of it.

Instead of retracting his hand, Surdak cast the Holy Light Technique again in front of it.

The red dragon let out a low roar again, and the look in its eyes was obvious, 'You've hurt me.'"

Surdak took a step back, stopped what he was doing, and the red dragon with an angry face calmed down, it didn't even raise its head, it just lay on the stone platform, most of its body was on the other side of the relief stone wall, and a pair of eyes full of spirituality stared at Surdak curiously.

Surdak knew that it had a habit of eating red crystals, and this time he also brought some red crystals from the sulfur mines specifically for the sake of the red dragon, so of course he had to take them out for food at this time.

Seeing the red crystal, the red dragon finally stopped lying on the ground lazily, it shook its head slightly, and took the initiative to come to Surdak's side, staring at the red crystal in Surdak's hand with a pair of big eyes, and the expression of those eyes was clearly 'Why don't you feed me?' ’

With complete eye contact, he was able to express his thoughts clearly, and Surdak did not delay any longer, and hurriedly threw the prepared red crystals into the red dragon's mouth one by one.

When it chewed the red crystal, the crunch sound of 'rattling and rattling' was like chewing a carrot, as if to show its happy mood, but it wanted to lean the dragon's head towards Surdak, and every time its sharp teeth bit the red crystal, crystal fragments splashed everywhere, with the magma-like saliva in its mouth, it was also very lethal for a while.

Surdak took two steps back, pulled out a baguette-like salamander jerky from his magic belt bag, took out a skinning knife and sliced a slice off it, and threw it in his mouth to signal that he wanted to eat too.

The red dragon chewed the red crystal, and stared at the salamander jerky in Surdak's hand, this baguette-like jerky was more like a toothpick strip in the eyes of the red dragon, but it still refused to let go, staring at Surdak with a pair of huge eyes, full of anticipation.

Surdak shook a large salamander jerky in his hand: "Salamander meat, it's very dry, you shouldn't like to eat it, next time I'll bring some more red crystals!" ”

As he spoke, he slipped a piece with a skinning knife and stuffed it into his mouth, the red dragon stubbornly got closer, and the smoke from his mouth choked Surdak coughing repeatedly, Surdak took two steps back again, raised the salamander jerky, and said to the red dragon: "This is not very delicious, you see...... Are you sure you want to try it? …… Salamander meat? ”

The red dragon continued to lean towards Surdak's arms, Surdak had no choice but to throw the whole jerky into the red dragon's mouth, thought about it, and pulled out all the jerky from his waist bag and stuffed them into the red dragon's mouth, only to see its drooling tongue gently curl, all the jerky swallowed directly into the stomach without chewing.

Surdak stood there with his mouth open, and he suddenly realized that he had underestimated the amount of food that the red dragon ate, and that preparing the food by himself was more like a snack for it, but Surdak immediately realized that this dragon really had such a large amount of food that he could not afford to raise it even if he had a mine.

Looking at its appearance, it is clear that it does not know dragon language and imperial Chinese.

Surdak didn't know how far a red dragon could learn a language, Angus. Duke Bradbury has been dead for at least eight hundred years, and the red dragon Lord Johannes also died shortly after his death, and this red dragon should be about eight hundred years old, which is really a young red dragon that has just come out of its infancy for a dragon that can live up to several thousand years old.

After eating a little, it saw that Surdak was no longer feeding, so it continued to lie lazily on the stone platform, ignoring Surdak.

This red dragon can lie next to Surdak like this, and it obviously has a certain trust and good impression of Surdak.

Surdak had begun to realize that these dragon words were probably meant to be given to this dragon, and this red dragon should be the Iser in the mouth of Johannes.

Surdak also had a bit of a headache, the red dragon looked like a free-range pig that didn't seem to understand anything but survival instincts.

Looking at the scales on his arm, which were still at six, Surdak left the treasure chamber again, returned to the brimstone camp and filled his magic waist with red crystals, and brought some salamander jerky, and then returned to the treasure chamber under Selena's reluctant gaze.

By the time he hurried back to the treasure chamber, the red dragon was no longer in the chamber.

Surdak immediately calmed down and continued to study the runes.

By this time, a seventh scale had grown on his arm, and these scales the size of a thumb had formed a small piece on his right arm, each scale was pale cyan, with only a hint of reddish at the edges.

At the same time as growing these scales, it is also the process of slowly merging the body with the dragon's blood, Surdak found that the body is undergoing some subtle strengthening, whether it is strength agility, or balance and coordination are obviously stronger, he has the courage to try to use a skinning knife to cut a wound on the arm, the skin actually forms a natural repulsion, and because the knife is not infused with strength, only a white shallow mark on the arm.

At this time, Aphrodite's side passed the signal of summoning.

Surdak looked at the summoning circle that appeared under his feet, and a void gate slowly appeared in front of him, and he stepped into the void gate with ease.

In the next second, Surdak appeared in the narrow cabin of the magic airship, and looked out the window to see that the magic airship was slowly descending.

Aphrodite was fully dressed and disguised himself as a young knight, looking at Surdak expectantly.

"Bednar City is almost here, I thought about it, it is better for you to take me out and find a reliable place to stay, it is better to be safe than me to wander around......"

Aphrodite said with a smile to Surdak.

"Good! I've been to Bednar a few times and know that there's a decent hotel in the city. Surdak said.

He was covered in volcanic ash and looked like a miner who had gone through a mining disaster, so he went into the bathroom to clean up briefly, after all, he was a baron in front of outsiders, and nobles should look like nobles......
