Located on a volcanic rock platform not far from the magma falls, the Shinjuku Camp in the Sulphur Mine of Mt. Pubao is not only home to some slave workers, but also to the accumulation of all the supplies that Surdak could not take from the desert, of which the grass for the horses occupies a large part of the area.

Since the lava river is not far away, lava splashes occur from time to time, and these haystacks are arranged very loosely, so that they will be connected after they are ignited.

There was also a lot of blood-stained leather armor in the Brimstone Mine camp that had been ripped directly from the sand thieves.

Due to the large amount of leather armor seized, Surdak transported them back to the sulphur mines.

There are about fifty kobolds in the camp who are carefully cleaning these leather armors, they need to soak these leather armors in the pool to wash the blood stains on them, the washed leather armor will become hard and alkaline after drying, at this time, some horse oil will be evenly applied to it, it will effectively soften these leather armor.

As for how to repair the leather armor, it is up to the tanners of the city of Highlandsa to give some advice.

The sand pirates did not store mainly wheat and chestnut rice, but also stockpiled a lot of beans and dried vegetables, dried meat, and cheese.

Most of the food in their hands was snatched from pastures or mountains around the desert, so there were all kinds of food, and the sand thieves were not picky, as long as it was something to eat, they scavenged it all.

Now concentrated here in Surdak, there were many things he had never seen before, and if it weren't for Luke's statement that the dried vegetable stew was delicious, Surdak would have almost thrown these dried vegetables into the haystack.

Luke led the kobold slaves and spent nearly half a month painting to build a concrete road between Paglos Mountain and Puss Mountain.

Later, a lumberyard was opened in the pine forest at the foot of the southern foothills of the Paglos Mountains, where the kobold slaves cut some timber and transported it back to the Pubao Mountain in four-wheeled wagons, although the horses were requisitioned by Surdak, but these four-wheeled wagons were also used by human pushing.

There's a lack of everything here, but there's no shortage of kobolds.

On the cliff face of the magma fall, a 'Z' shaped ladder was built from these woods, and this ladder made a total of 13 turns from the bottom to the top.

The wooden frame was built along the vertical mountain of the rock wall, and immediately became the path for kobold slaves to climb up the lava river.

Surdak walked out of the Void Gate, just saw a group of kobold slaves carrying sulfur ore on their backs, slowly walking down the ladder, a long line of kobolds climbing up and down the wooden stairs, it seems that the reserves of sulfur mines in the upper reaches of the lava river are very good, and those sulfur mines upstream are also easy to mine, otherwise there would never be such kobold slaves moving ore every day.

Now Luke has begun to build a concrete road from here to the pass in the middle of the Rift Valley, with a group of kobold slaves starting again, and the last time Surdak saw him was a week ago.

Lying on a flat volcanic rock, covered with a soft layer of fur, with a bottle of wine next to it, and holding a magic book, Aphrodite looked like she was living a very comfortable life here.

Surdak walked over and sat across from Aphrodite, her beautiful eyebrows with a lazy look, and Aphrodi didn't know how many times she had used the summoning magic circle to move such a large amount of supplies to the Brimstone Mine camp recently.

"Didn't you say you wanted to come with me to the lava mine last time?" Surdak is going to feed the red dragon Isser, and teach him the thirty-third rune, which is the last rune, and when the red dragon Isser has learned all the thirty-three runes, he will have to learn the simple rune language.

The first few times, Surdak was in a hurry when he entered the lava mine, and he didn't have time to take Aphrodite to visit the Red Dragon Vault, but now that the war was over, Surdak thought he could take Aphrodite to visit the Vault.

He was looking forward to what Aphrodite's expression would be when she saw Isser.

Aphrodite raised her delicate eyebrows and said with a nonchalant expression: "What's so beautiful, could it be that there are any secrets in that lava mine besides red crystals and salamanders?" ”

Hearing her say this, I knew that I must have been to the lava mine recently, and I also found a group of salamanders in the depths of the mine.

"Won't you know if you go in and take a walk?" Surdak smiled and said to Aphrodite.

Aphrodite put down the magic book in his hand, sat up from the rock, looked at Surdak with a curious expression, and hesitated before asking, "You didn't come here at night this time, and you didn't rush to carry supplies...... Could it be that this desert trip is over? ”

"Hmm." Surdak nodded in acknowledgement.

Aphrodite's eyes lit up, her brows furrowed, and she said excitedly, "So I don't have to stay here all the time?" ”

Surdak hesitated for a moment, and said to Aphrodite: "Oh, hold on for two more days, if you want to leave here, you have to replace me and come back here, are you tired of living here?" In a week at the earliest, I'll be back from the desert. ”

Aphrodite was wearing a long black dress, she sat on the stone slab with her hands on her knees, and turned her head to look at the magma waterfall not far away and the lava river that meandered at the foot of the mountain, but she did not have the slightest impatience, Surdak knew that she was a succubus who longed for freedom, liked the outside world, and if she hadn't led the team into the desert, she probably wouldn't have let her stay here.

Aphrodi shook her head at Surdak, her shoulders shaking hard in her habitual ...... This is probably a habit developed when there are meat wings, even if the meat wings are cut off, and the body becomes a little stiff after maintaining a movement for a long time, I really want to shake the wings and stretch my muscles and bones.

Then Aphrodite withdrew her gaze and landed on Surdak's face before saying, "Fortunately, the environment here is similar to the Flame Hell, the sky is full of gray clouds, volcanoes and lava everywhere, if it weren't for these kobold slaves, I'm afraid this is a dead place that is inaccessible to people!" Compared to the Flame Hell, there are no meteorites from the sky here, and there is no earth fission, but it is much safer than there. ”

Seeing Surdak's embarrassment, Aphrodite showed a rare look of remembrance and said to Surdak: "If I say that I am a little homesick, will you believe it?" ”

As she spoke, she stood up from the volcanic rock, raised her hand and pointed halfway up the Pus-Filled Mountain, and introduced to Surdak:

"My home is on the mountainside of the northern slope of a volcano, where our succubus clan built a town out of volcanic rock, although the volcano always erupts continuously, but almost all the magma spewed out of the crater flows to the south of the mountain, and forms a magma lake there, there are many fire-type demonic beasts living in that lake, and the hunters in our town mainly hunt the low-level demonic beasts in that magma lake."

She opened her hand, looked up at the sky where the ash was falling, and continued:

"Every time volcanic ash falls from the sky, it's like a heavy snow in the middle of nowhere, but the snow is gray, just like the volcanic ash here, but the volcanic ash is hot, and there will be a strong burning sensation when it falls on the body."

Surdak raised his hand and received a fluttering volcanic ash that touched Surdak's palm and instantly collapsed into extremely fine ashes.

I couldn't feel the burning sensation in my palm, and it seemed that the ash here was very different from the ash in the Flame Hell.

Seeing Surdak's stupid appearance, Aphrodi smiled and said: "Meteorites fall from the sky every month near our town, so everyone often needs to repair their houses, and occasionally the mountains under their feet will crack, the land there is very barren, and only some drought-tolerant night charms can be planted, the succubus clan is always more male and female, each family is very large, my father has twenty-three wives and nearly two hundred concubines, my mother is one of the concubines, she has lived carefully all her life, there is no freedom at all, It seems that he has never left that volcano in his life. ”

Surdak was a little surprised, he didn't expect that the men of the Succubus clan actually lived like emperors. I can't help asking: "Is there such a huge disparity in the ratio of men and women in the succubus clan?" ”

Aphrodite explained: "The disparity in the ratio of men to women is due to our traditions, the road to adulthood for every male in the succubus clan is extremely difficult, many people will die on that path of cultivation, only the strongest and luckiest warriors can come out of purgatory, only the best male succubi have the right to choose a mate, and he has the absolute right to choose, as long as the female succubus who is favored by these succubus warriors, there is no right to refuse." The elders of the succubus clan believed that only the descendants of these warriors could give birth to more powerful succubi. ”

Surdak was a little dumbfounded and asked, "What kind of strength will the succubus that came out of purgatory be?" ”

"In terms of the level of the Demon Beast, it can almost reach the level of the fourth-level peak Warcraft, and if it is calculated in terms of the combat power of the Imperial People, each of them is a second-turn powerhouse." Aphrodite said.

"That's why you want to go out for a walk?" Surdak asked.

Aphrodite shook her head slightly and said, "All succubi want to get out of hell, but I have chosen a completely different path, and I am the luckiest of them. ”

She sat down again, facing the slowly flowing river of lava, her face showed infinite remembrance, and said with emotion: "I have been out for so long, I have never felt anything, and after I arrived here, I saw the gray clouds in the sky and the lava river all over the mountains, and I realized that I would also be homesick." ”

"You're not going to leave here and go back to the Flame Hell, are you?" Surdak asked, a little dumbfounded.

Aphrodite rolled her eyes at Surdak like an idiot, reached out and patted her shoulder blades, and said depressedly: "These wings have been cut off, how can I still go back, besides, if I return to hell, I also need to connect the passage, and it doesn't mean that I can go back if I go back!" ”

Although Surdak had no expression on his face, he was relieved in his heart.

……

At the entrance to the lava mine, Aphrodite had kobold slaves build a stone house out of volcanic rock, with a wooden tripod on top and even a planked roof, just inside the entrance to the mine.

Since the wind from the lava mine is blowing from the inside of the cave, there is no ash flying in from the cave entrance.

Instead of following Surdak into the lava mine, Aphrodite chose to continue reading outside.

When Surdak arrived at the treasure chamber, the red dragon Iser was already waiting a little impatiently in the chamber, and saw Surdak hurriedly walk in, opened his mouth at Surdak, and let out a dull roar from the dragon's belly at the lower part of his neck: "Surdak, I'm hungry......"

This is one of the most commonly used phrases of everyday life that Isser has learned.

With this loud roar, Surdak felt a hurricane blowing in front of him, and was sprayed with smoke and fire saliva by Isser, feeling that this guy might have just eaten some demonic beast meat, and the flesh and blood residue was still left between his teeth......

"How's it going? What's new? Surdak walked up to Isser's side and greeted him cordially.

There are a lot of words that Red Dragon Iser can't say, but that doesn't mean he can't understand them.

"Ate a big bird......" The red dragon Isserle looked a little proud, and every time he was proud, he would raise his chin high, and his head would almost touch the roof of the treasure chamber.

"This bird is powerful?" Surdak said as he walked over to the dragon egg to get the magic crystal inside.

Iser could only nod his head constantly, he didn't Chinese describe the big bird for the time being, but said very simply, "...... It's huge! ”

With a series of low roars, it seemed to describe the big bird to Surdak, but Surdak did not understand the language of Isser.

After a brief exchange, Isserr still made Surdak understand that the bird he ate could fly very high, even above all the clouds, and the most important thing was that the bird could actually control lightning, a bird that was good at controlling lightning, and had a huge body, in Surdak's impression, only the Thunderbird had such strength.

'Boom'

The red dragon Iser rested his head on the high platform of the chamber and stared at Surdak with a pair of curious eyes.

Surdak grabbed a magic crystal and said to the red dragon Isser, "I guess you may have eaten a thunderbird, it is said that each thunderbird has three feathers that inherit the power of thunder and lightning, you won't eat it in your stomach too, right?" ”

Isel shook his head a little confused.

"I may have to learn the language of runes today, so let's start with a simple one, but I haven't figured it out for the time being, so I'll have to explore it a little bit!" Surdak said calmly.

Surdak shook the magic crystal in his hand again and said, "These may be real dragon magic, but when you study, you must be more restrained, don't destroy this place!" ”

Isser's head moved closer, and his eyes widened as he stared at Surdak......
