Chapter 25: The Queen of the Earth

Finding a place with lush vegetation and hiding it for the time being, Gordon took out the map given by the instructor and flipped it to the back, which recorded some details about the dragon's lair.

The structure of this rocky mountain is somewhat similar to a volcano, and there is a large space in the mountain, and the top of the mountain is open for easy flying, making it the best nesting place for wyverns.

Therefore, even if the "owner" dies or leaves due to some accident, there will soon be other flying dragons stationed here, and due to the distribution of species, the nest owners are basically fire dragons.

In addition to the entrance and exit to the top of the mountain, the Dragon's Lair has two passages for entry and exit.

One is a low hole less than a meter high, and the other is a long, narrow crack in the stone.

For the giant wyverns, these two passages are the equivalent of rat holes in human homes, and they don't care too much, and the smell alone is enough to keep ordinary animals away.

Hunters, on the other hand, will borrow these two passages to "visit" the owner of the nest.

Just like Gordon at this time, it's just that the role he plays today is a "thief" who sneaks around, not a "robber" who kills people and sets fires.

The first step in burglary is to confirm whether the owner of the house is at home.

"Pork chops, it's up to you, be careful." Gordon whispered.

The pork chop nodded its little head, tightened the cat pickaxe behind it, and ran to the dragon's nest on all fours.

Petite and flexible, it is the core advantage of the Ailu family.

The larger the monster, the less they will take them seriously, after all, in the wild, small size is often synonymous with "harmless".

Even if the pork chop is unlucky and collides with the owner of the nest, as long as it does not take the initiative to attack, it will be fine.

A few minutes later, the pork chop ran back.

It seemed excited.

"The fire dragon is not meowing in the lair! I saw the dragon's egg, it's a big one! There are three meows in total! ”

Gordon's eyes lit up when he heard this, and this was simply the best-case scenario.

Brushing aside the branches and leaves of the bush and looking up, there was nothing in the sky, Gordon no longer hesitated, and trotted away from the bush all the way to the narrow crack in the stone.

The crack is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, but it is enough for an adult man to pass normally.

After walking about eight or nine meters along the stone crevice passage, a wide space appeared in front of him.

It is a huge cave with an area of more than 1,000 square meters, and the internal space is roughly cone-shaped, and at the top of the cave is an opening with a diameter of about 20 meters, which even a flying dragon can easily pass through.

Exactly as described by the instructor!

It was afternoon, and the bright sunlight shone into the cave through the opening, forming a pillar of light that illuminated the gloomy cave.

The cave was untidy, but dry, with the remains of large animals such as herbivorous dragons scattered throughout, and a pungent fishy smell permeated the air.

Pork Chop couldn't help but sneeze, but Gordon's attention was completely drawn to the lair illuminated by the pillar of light.

There were a large number of trees and grass blades that had been charred by the flames and even white ash, and in the center of the ash more than half a meter thick, three huge dragon eggs were lying there quietly.

Each dragon egg is about forty or fifty centimeters high, and it may be difficult to hold it with both hands together, and the surface of the eggshell is not very smooth, showing a granite-like grayish-white color, giving people a very hard feeling.

Just pick one up, bring it back to camp, and you're done!

Being in the dragon's lair, Gordon didn't waste time stupidly, he moved his arm, and prepared to walk over and pick up a dragon egg.

But at this moment, the pork chop suddenly screamed, its pointed ears turned around, and there was even more nervousness in its eyes.

"Meow?! There is a sound of flapping wings! The fire dragon may be back meow! ”

Gordon immediately stopped walking towards the dragon egg, and he could feel his heart beat nearly double in a matter of seconds!

Gordon has 100% trust in the sense of hearing and smell of pork chops, and he repeatedly confirms like a fool that it is better to act as soon as possible.

It is impossible to run away with the dragon egg in his hand, and the fire dragon who is furious when he discovers that the dragon egg is lost will immediately rise into the air and search around, he will not have time to run far at all.

You can only hide it first!

Picking up the pork chop and looking around, Gordon bent down and grabbed a handful of dragon excrement from the ground and wiped it all over himself and the pork chop.

The strong stench made him almost nauseous, but it was the best way to get rid of the smell.

After all this was done, he and the Pork Chop quickly ran into the stone crevice they had passed through when they entered the dragon's lair, the passage of the stone crevice was not straight, and they hid in the corner of it, hiding from the dragon's sight.

The man and the cat, who had determined their hiding place, lay down and did not make any movement as much as possible.

Soon after they hid, a large shadow appeared at the opening at the top of the cavern with the whistling of the dragon's wings.

The sheer size of more than fifteen meters made the monster of the Blue Speed Dragon King look like a child who had not grown up in front of it, and its wide wings almost completely obscured the entrance to the cave.

The turquoise scales and strong legs, as well as the iconic spines on the chin, all proclaim the identity of the comer.

Queen of the Earth - Leorea (Female Fire Dragon)!

Sneaking out of the corner of the stone passage, Gordon almost forgot to breathe as he watched the female dragon descend steadily into the lair.

Is this really a creature that can be fought by human beings?

The instructor's dozens of admonitions didn't work like this, and Gordon regretted it for the first time.

If the big boar king at the time of the assessment task can still rely on courage and strategy to hunt hard, then the gap in hard power between himself and the female fire dragon is a gap that no way can cross.

This is not a monster that I can face now!

Gordon could feel the pork chop beside him shuddering.

Of course, not to mention the pork chops, even he himself couldn't contain the fear in his heart at all.

The female fire dragon who returned to the nest first glanced at the eggs in the nest, and there was a rare hint of maternal tenderness in her cold vertical pupils, but then she raised her head vigilantly.

In the nest, there seems to be some unfamiliar smell.

It folded its wings, craned its neck, and sniffed.

Noticing all this, Gordon and the pork chop couldn't help but hold their breath.

An incomparably long dozen seconds passed.

Thankfully, the foul-smelling dragon excrement played a decisive role, and the female, who had not found any more, thought it might just be the smell of the prey she had brought back.

It slowly returned to the dragon eggs, lay down, wrapped the dragon eggs in its arms, and gently spat on the dragon eggs with the scorching snort of sparks, as if to assist in hatching.

Gradually, it fell asleep.

Gordon and the pork chop looked at each other, and this was probably the perfect time to leave.

A man and a cat cautiously tried to get up, but the heavy steel weapons and full armor could not move completely silently.

As soon as he moved, the head of the blasting knife scraped the ground, making a sound that was neither light nor heavy.

The awakened female fire dragon opened her eyes instantly, and she raised her neck and looked around.

Inside the passage, Gordon and the pork chop froze in place as if they were playing a game of wooden men, lest they make the slightest more movement.
