As soon as the picture turned, Jiang Ember returned to this gloomy underground passage.

Kassandra was still leaning warmly against her, though.

But Jiang Yan didn't know when he broke out in a cold sweat.

...... Trouble, big trouble.

I didn't know about those before.

Suddenly, Asmontis poured a lot of powerful information.

Even Jiang Yan, who is usually calm, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Isn't it, it's strange that such a big thing can be done without cold sweat.

Just as Jiang Yan stood in place, thinking about the information he had just gotten.

Kassandra next to her also seemed to be a little sober because of the fading of her divine power.

She looked at Jiang Yan, who suddenly stopped moving, and asked in a somewhat confused tone:

"Ginger...... Jiang Yan, I just seem to have something wrong, is there something ...... Huh?"

Before Kassandra could finish speaking, Jiang Shen suddenly opened his arms and hugged him in his arms.

"It's okay, it's okay, you're just out of luck."

Jiang Yan said as if he was comforting her while hugging the female knight who was still warm on her body.

However, Jiang Yan actually knew in his heart that he was not comforting Kassandra at all, but comforting himself.

Kassandra and the others had no idea that there were still the Chosen and the Soul corrupting those things.

So is she anything to worry about right now? Not at all.

Only Jiang Yan, who knows these things, will be worried, or will be worried about her.

It is precisely because I am too worried and feel some heartache that I make this somewhat intimate act.

And for Kassandra, who was suddenly embraced, it was a ...... It's subtle.

Although she was also hugged by Jiang Ember when she ran away in the "Old Gentleman's Beast Shop" before.

But the feeling of holding the princess is obviously completely different from the current feeling of holding it head-on.

At that moment, she could feel Jiang Ash's powerful heartbeat.

The man's heartbeat was very chaotic, and he was clearly very emotional.

Kassandra thought that Ember was nervous about something that had suddenly become wrong.

So after she was flustered for a while, she hugged each other in the same way, and whispered:

"I'm fine...... I'm fine, you don't have to worry about anything, it should be that little pink guy is just playing a prank."

Although Xiao Fan's actions just now certainly cannot be explained by such a pure statement as "prank".

But now is not the time to settle accounts with that guy, that's all Kassandra can say.

Even so, Jiang Yan still hugged her tightly.

It's like being afraid that as soon as you let go, the person in your arms will become a different face.

Because the two stayed behind and hugged for too long.

Teacher Catherine, who had been walking in front and humming a song, finally noticed something strange and turned her head to look behind her.

Luckily, the light source in this dark underground passage is very weak.

Catherine could barely see a vague shadow, and she couldn't see the two hugging each other.

She wondered, "Hey, what's wrong with you two? Did you get to your feet?"

When he heard Teacher Catherine's cheerful and lively shout, Jiang Ember suddenly returned to reality.

He let go of Kassandra in his arms, turned his head and shouted forward:

"Teacher Catherine, it's you who are walking too fast, wait for us to be okay."

"Too fast? Is there one?"

"Yes, it's like a rabbit that has eaten and drunk enough and then jumped and ran away."

Ember said as he took Kassandra's hand and continued to walk forward.

It's just that neither Catherine nor Kassandra found out.

On the way out of this underground passage, the man's gaze was always slight

of confusion.

This kind of confusion about the road ahead is something that rarely appears in Jiang Yan's life.

But after all, what he experienced today is really too extensive, and he is also a human being, so it is inevitable that he will fall into some quagmire.

But even so, no matter how confused your heart is, it's fine.

Time does not stop, and the road under your feet will always have to move forward.

Follow Lady Elizabeth's prompts, go to the end of the underpass and turn left, then turn right three more times, and then turn left again.

The three of them also successfully left the passage of incredible length and appeared on the outskirts of the fog capital.

Even when exiting the underground passage and coming out of the basement of an abandoned farm.

Kassandra was also pleasantly surprised to find a wild dragon's lair nearby.

"Wild Dragon's Lair? Are you sure? But I didn't see anything."

"You don't have to see it, there's a smell of sulfur in the air...... This is the breath left over from the dragon's long breath of flames."

For Kassandra, who grew up in the Dragon Empire, she didn't have to see dragons at all.

All you need to do is smell it in the wild, and then roughly judge the location according to the direction, and you can find the right place.

Sure enough, Kassandra was right.

The three of them followed the direction she had found, all the way along a beautiful mountain road.

After walking for a short time, I saw a huge circular building on the top floor of a hill.

The entire large circular building is presumably pasted with some kind of strange mud, and the exterior is covered in charred black.

And even from a great distance, it was filled with the smell of hot sulfur.

Looking at the Dragon's Lair building, which she had seen since she was a child, Kassandra whispered:

"Good luck...... It seems that the dragons that inhabit this dragon's den have wandered out, and it should be safe nearby."

"Oh? From so far away, you can tell if there's a dragon in there?"

"Of course I can, because I'm interested in ...... Very sensitive to monsters, you know."

Kassandra said as she raised her right arm towards Ginger Ember as she gestured to her sensitive source.

Speaking of which, due to the "demonization disease", part of Kassandra's body has taken on the form of a monster.

Monsters are far more sensitive to breath than humans, which is why she is more sensitive to her senses than ordinary people.

After hearing that there were no dragons in the dragon's lair, Catherine suddenly became excited.

"Really? I've been wanting to go sightseeing in the Dragon's Lair for a long time! If there is no dragon, I will pass."

Although I don't quite agree with Teacher Catherine's practice of going to the Dragon's Lair for sightseeing.

But Jiang Yan also has more important things at the moment, and it is not time to argue with her.

Because since coming to the vicinity of this dragon's lair, Jiang Ash's eyes have been attracted by some trees growing in large numbers around him.

"Dragon's heather", a strange plant that I have heard about many times, grows everywhere near the dragon's den.

As described in the list of special ingredients that Lannasel had given him earlier.

This plant looks like a medium-sized tree, with flame-like branches and leaves, full of hair, ovate winter buds, leathery, heat-tolerant, and a lot of dragon dung underneath.

Of course, as the distance got closer, that signature strange and unpleasant smell also poured into Jiang Ash's nose.

Although he didn't particularly mind the smell, Kassandra couldn't help but cover her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, obviously displeased.

"Oh my God...... It's really like a flame of burning leaves, it's amazing."

When he came to the front of a nearby dragon-dependent heather, Jiang Ember looked this magical plant up and down, his eyes exuding a strong curiosity.

Kassandra, who was walking beside him, reminded:

"Be careful, the skin of this plant is extremely hot, and you can get badly burned if you touch it."

About this play

In fact, the danger of meaning can be completely seen without being reminded.

Because the skin of the heather looks like a hot molten slurry, and the juice that flows out of it is red.

Looking at such a terrifying plant, Jiang Ember really expressed his deep respect for the members of the "Fog Capital Cooking Association" who dared to make it into a salad and use it directly...... You're such a bunch of guys.

Now that you've found the legendary dragon-dependent heather, the next thing to do is very simple.

With Kassandra's help, the two of them worked together to strip the seeds from several heather trees.

The seeds of this heather tree are so big and hard that they look like huge pebbles in your hand.

After taking out the seeds, Jiang Ember also sniffed them, and found that the seeds actually had a strange sulfur fragrance.

Speaking of which, sulfur itself is a traditional Chinese medicinal material, which can detoxify, kill insects and relieve itching when used externally, and can be used internally to replenish fire and help yang and laxative.

And in the theory of "Five Elements Medicinal Diet", sulfur itself is the essence of fire, condensing a large amount of fire.

Those who are fire spirits should enter the door of life to make up for the fire, and after eating, they can make the whole body heat up and make up for the losses in the five elements.

From this point of view, the seeds of tornado heather should indeed have some degree of medicinal effect.

It's just that it's hard to say whether it can assist in dragon meat cooking.

After digging up a large pile of heather seeds, Jiang Ember saw that it was almost done, and said to Kassandra:

"This should be enough in a short time, so let's go back quickly."

According to the owner of the "Old Gentleman's Poultry Shop" before, this heather seed will lose its medicinal properties after a long time.

In order to be able to study it in the best possible state, the faster you can naturally do it, the better.

But Kassandra turned her head to look at the dragon's lair, frowned, and said:

"But Teacher Catherine hasn't returned, so she shouldn't be in trouble in the dragon's lair."

Although there are no dragons in the dragon's lair now, the absence of dragons does not mean that there is no danger.

At this time, Jiang Ember also looked at the dragon's lair, but couldn't help laughing:

"Don't worry, Miss Catherine is much better than she thought, maybe she just found something interesting and came back late."

Kassandra didn't know the true identity of Katherine, and the legendary "Cake Lady" wasn't so easy to fold here.

Even Jiang Yan continued to say with a smile after thinking for a while:

"By the way, maybe Teacher Catherine found a dragon egg or something in the dragon's den, so maybe it took a little time to delay."

"The probability of this situation is not very high, the dragon usually does not put the dragon egg in the lair and leaves on its own, and even if it wants to leave, it will hide the dragon egg in the depths of the molten lava that ordinary people cannot reach, and it cannot be retrieved under normal circumstances."

"I see...... There is some truth to this, otherwise dragon eggs would be everywhere."

However, just as Ginger Ember nodded in agreement with Kassandra's statement.

Not far away, on the Dragon's Nest Mountain, a familiar figure suddenly rushed down like a gale!

Catherine, is Catherine's teacher.

She quickly ran towards this side with an excited smile, and waved at Jiang Yan and said:

"Hey! Look! Look what I've brought back!"

The two turned their heads to look over there, but they were stunned at first sight.

Because in the arms of Catherine, who was running back this way, she was actually holding a bronze dragon egg the size of a head!
