"What happened?" The King of the Strange Faces couldn't understand why these humans had suddenly become nervous.

Aibo quickly explained to him the reaction of the guide worm, and the current situation.

Feng Ying glanced at Jean, "Is your physical strength enough?" ”

"Nonsense." Jean tightened the straps of his armor, "How much effort does it take to chase away a grilled fish?" ”

Feng Ying said "um", turned to the king of the Strange Face Clan, and said, "After that, the large army came over, and it was not good to run into the ancient dragon head-on to block the way, we have to go and confirm the situation."

You don't have to keep up, let's find a meeting place. ”

The King of the Odd-Faced Clan was silent for a moment, then nodded.

The target is the ancient dragon species, and if it is not careful, the clansmen may suffer serious casualties, even if it doesn't mind following it to help, as the king, it must also consider the clansmen.

It pointed to a cave on the map, "Here. The cave is comparatively low, and the entrance to the cave is very. Small, you have to lie down and crawl to get through, large monsters are. Can't get in.

When you retreat, you can go here, it's safer, we'll be there. Wait for you. ”

Out of an abundance of caution, Aybo confirmed two safe routes with the King of the Odd-Faced Clan to facilitate the retreat, and recorded them on the map.

"Partner, why don't you follow the Odd-Faced Clan?" Feng Ying said tentatively to Aibo.

Ai Bo puffed out his mouth, "No! This is not a simple combat mission, you need me to analyze the behavior of the ancient dragon, and formulate a retreat route! ”

Feng Ying has a toothache, her partner is usually very talkative, but once she is stubborn, it is really difficult to wring.

"Let's let Epo go with you." Aiden, who had completed the crossbow check, smiled and said, "It's not a small thing you've experienced together.

Besides, isn't there still amber here? In a dangerous situation, let her ride amber and retreat first. ”

"Okay, but you have to be careful, don't leave Amber's side, don't try to write and draw, get closer and closer."

"Yes!"

Feng Ying looked at the other two fellow hunters, and when she saw that they were all ready, she shook her head.

"Let's go! Let's go see what the hell that steel dragon is doing in this place! ”

The hunters form a relatively tight formation and follow the guide worms.

As the light of the guide insects flying in mid-air became brighter and brighter, they gradually lightened and slowed down.

Walking at the front of the line, Feng Ying, who was in charge of opening the way, made a fist gesture in front of a Yongdao crossing, and the compilers and hunters who followed him stopped one after another.

Glancing back at his companions, without her words reminding them, several people took out their invisibility clothes one after another, shook them off and draped them on their bodies.

Step by step, they walked slowly and silently into the corridor.

The road was not long, but it was only about twenty meters, and when they came to the other end of the road, Feng Ying gestured again, causing everyone to stop.

She leaned her back against the rock wall, leaned out and nodded, looking out.

It was an extremely wide underground cavern, even wider than the one where they had first encountered the Rock Thief Dragon.

About half of the cavern is covered by a boiling lava lake, and the transpiring heat distorts the light inside the cavern.

And on the shore of the lava lake, a silver and elegant figure strolls here.

It seems to be admiring the view of the lava lake, and it seems to be looking for something.

Feng Ying silently glanced at it out of the corner of her eye, not even daring to stare at it, lest the other party, who was extremely sensitive to perception, notice her gaze.

After a moment of observation, she retracted and said to her companions in a low voice, "It's a steel dragon, it's a walk, and it's possible that you're looking for something." ”

"Steel Dragon, take a walk in the lava cavern deep underground?" Aiden looked puzzled.

This subverted his perception of a creature like a steel dragon.

The flying steel dragon is supposed to inhabit the open air, but what do you do in the underground lava cave? Wait a minute

Aiden whispered, "The steel dragon will forage for high-quality minerals and absorb metal substances to build its steel armor.

Some of the precious ores buried deep underground will rush up with the lava, is it possible that it is here to find ore to eat? ”

"It's possible." Feng Ying nodded.

They had previously guessed that the steel dragon would run towards crystal-dense areas, also because of the fact that the steel dragon has a habit of eating minerals.

"Could there be a reason for the use of lava to remove parasites, and the rust stains on the steel armor?" Jean spoke.

This speculation seems to make sense, but in fact it is very outrageous, and Aibo looks at him helplessly, "What parasite can land on a steel dragon?"

As for the use of magma to remove rust stains, it is mentioned that the steel dragon has poor resistance to flames, its steel armor has too good thermal conductivity, and more importantly, the high temperature will destroy the magnetic field and interfere with its manipulation of the wind. ”

"Okay." Jean was silent for two seconds to hide his embarrassment, "What do we say now?" Go out and say hello to it? ”

"Throw you into the lava lake!" Feng Ying glared at him, "We'll watch here for a while, half an hour, and if it doesn't do anything else, we'll retreat."

Later, when the large army passed through this vicinity, send scouts to confirm the location of the steel dragon in advance, and be careful to avoid it. ”

The four people, two cats and one dog shrank in the corridor and observed carefully.

Aiden is very cautious, for him the monster of the steel dragon has a special meaning, Ai Bo is very excited, quickly sketching, recording the unusual ecology of the steel dragon, is a pure martial arts Jean sitting cross-legged, his face full of boredom.

"It's moving!" Feng Ying exclaimed in a low voice.

The steel dragon strolling along the shores of the lava lake suddenly raised its body, spread its wings, and then flapped violently.

In just a few seconds, the violent wind formed a tornado column nearly 100 meters high, and under the control of the steel dragon, swept towards the lava lake.

Waves of lava and fire were swept into the air with the wind, turning into a terrifying tornado of flames, churning the lava lake like waves in a storm.

"Mom, is it so scary?" Feng Ying was dumbfounded, "What is this guy doing?" Could it be that he is playing with magma? ”

As he drew a full sketch, Epo pulled down the telescope above his head and observed what was happening on the surface of the lava lake.

"It's rolling out the half-molten metal minerals in the magma lake! Roll it on the shore and wait for it to cool before eating?! Through the telescope, Aibo, who had observed more details, exclaimed.

"And this kind of operation?" Aiden, who thought he knew a lot about steel dragons, couldn't help but feel stunned.

"In this way, the steel dragon is really good at using the wind as a tool." Jean pinched his chin.

"I heard from the village chief's mother-in-law that the steel dragon on the snowy mountain sometimes sets off a strong wind and rolls away the snow and ice on the mountain, leaving the veins and mineral clusters bare and easy to eat.

And then it rolled and rolled into a great blizzard that swept through the entire mountain range."

"It's really going to cause trouble," Feng Ying tugged at the corners of her mouth.

"Rumble—" The churning lava waves continued to crash against the lakeshore under the whirlwind of the firestorm, sending out a deafening roar.

But at that moment, a roar of rage silenced the wind, quelled the waves of fire, and came from the depths of the cavern that led nowhere.

A gorgeous and vigorous blue shadow swept away the fiery tornado that melted steel.

It slammed down in front of the steel dragon.
