The fog is vast.

At the entrance to the Blighted Mountains, the voice of a lively maiden could be heard.

"Little Nana, give it, this is a gas mask."

Diana reached out and took a metal bird's beak mask, with a sharp, yellowish beak and two round wafers around the eyes.

"This is what I made! The effect is very strong! ”

Kitt, the fox-eared girl, was boasting about herself, patting her slightly bulging little breasts.

"In addition to isolating the poisonous gas, it is also equipped with a reconnaissance-type magic array, as long as the magic power is injected, you can see how effective the opponent is."

With that, Kitt herself snorted and put on a bird's beak mask like a plague doctor, and she looked around and finally locked onto Rune.

"Well, Gaga's combat power is only five points, and it is a real battle scum."

"Karma!"

Battle five scum?!

Unable to bear this level of insult, Luan flapped his wings violently and delivered a raptor kick directly at Kitt's face.

This is the ultimate flying kick from the true legend of sandwich sauce!

The results are also clear.

Kitt twisted her body slightly, and dodged the young dragon's flying kick directly, she was still grimacing.

"Hee-hee, you can't kick, you can't kick."

She didn't expect that the flying kick was just a feint attack by Rune, and it was used to cover the real killer move.

The young dragon opened its mouth and activated the dragon's breath technique.

Flames like lighter flames erupted from Rune's mouth.

The flames coalesced into a fireball and exploded right in Kitt's face.

Although it didn't do much damage, it was a real hit, and Kitt was blown up to the point that his face was blackened, and his hair stood upside down.

Now it was Rune's turn to let out a merciless sneer.

"Quack."

"Karma! I won't take you to play like this! Actually engaged in a sneak attack! I was careless just now, and I didn't flash! You have the ability to do it again! You're playing yin like this again! The gas mask is no longer for you! ”

"Don't make a fuss, Kaga is still young, don't hurt Kaga. You guys be a little more restrained. ”

Diana smiled and acted as a peacemaker.

Seeing the young girl and the young dragon playing, Ace straightened the bird's beak mask on his face, his eyes sharpened, and he carefully observed the movement through the detection spell attached to the mask.

As a high-level dungeon, the Blighted Mountain Range has only a dead end for their rash action, plus ......

Last night's special anomaly seemed to have made the Blighted Mountains even more dangerous.

The entrance to the mountain range was like a great wound that cracked open the earth, and the green poisonous mist that gushed out made it impossible for sunlight to penetrate it.

In this blurred light, the members of the Iron Beast Mercenary Group stepped onto the ground of the pile of rocks.

Each step causes pebbles to roll, echoing through the empty valley.

Ace felt the hidden wetness and coldness under the ground, as if it were the pulsation of a mountain, low and powerful.

As the eldest brother of the team, Ace leads the way, holding the assault weapon created by Kitt in his hand, pointing his gun at the thick fog, looking for an unknown enemy.

Ace's eyes gradually became firm and cold, and he whispered in his mouth: "Pay more attention to the surroundings, I heard that there are many snake-shaped cursed beasts with highly poisonous resistance living in it. They often lurk in the grass and attack people nearby. ”

Voices echoed in the Valley of Silence.

Kitt, who was still fighting with Rune, also calmed down, she knew that every next step might encounter danger, this was also Kitt's first time coming to a high-level dungeon, and in addition to being nervous, there were many novelties.

Diana began to play her task, the top-down view of the Blighted Mountains slowly unfolding in her mind, and she reached out, trying to make sense of what was ahead in the mist.

Then, Diana summoned the Radiant Moon Staff, and under the effect of the Hammer Staff, the low-level illumination spell formed a faint circle of light, illuminating a small area around it.

This is one of the two spells of light and fire that Diana mastered.

"This is just the entrance to the Blighted Mountains, and as long as we are careful, there are not many problems. Remember, don't be in love, our goal is only to collect medicinal herbs and search for the existence of a sixth-order spell beast. ”

Ace wanted to say a few more words to boost morale, but the words did not fall.

Suddenly, there was a movement in the fog.

A powerful energy broke through the miasma and forced the three of them.

The bizarre roar was deafening.

Ace stood in front of the crowd, turned into a shield, raised the giant gun in his hand, pulled the trigger, and thousands of magic power gathered, and a thick light cannon and sound waves collided until the two canceled each other out.

Ace's face was full of solemnity.

He could see what kind of attack it was.

"Sure enough, there is a very special anomaly in the Blight Mountain Range, this is the dragon's roar......"

"Dragon's roar? Is it a green dragon? Isn't the green dragon dying out? ”

Kitt on the side asked curiously, according to her understanding, there are not many dragons in this world, and the rare dragon species are directly extinct.

And the fall of the Dragon Dynasty seems to be directly related to the Shiweaving Demon Dragon.

"I don't know, but in short, let's be as careful as possible, hide our tracks, and don't get caught. Anyway, we have nothing to do with it. ”

In order to hatch dragon eggs, Diana had made up a lot of knowledge about dragons, she explained.

"Dragons are highly intelligent species, very different from cursed beasts that are manipulated by instinct. They don't kill people casually, and as long as we don't kill on our own initiative, there is usually no problem. ”

As she spoke, Diana pointed to Rune, who flapped her wings and flew aside.

The blonde girl's eyes sparkled, and she was vaguely proud, as if she was showing off her own dragon cub.

"Look, isn't Karga quite easy to talk to?"

"Hum ......"

And Lune was also very cooperative, holding his chest with his little paws, showing a triumphant expression.

Ji Te, who was on the side, pursed his lips and said sourly: "If you show off like this again, I will steal your cub in the middle of the night." Kaga, don't recognize your mother, come and live in my house. ”

"Don't make a fuss."

Ace couldn't help but shake his head, how did he feel like a kindergarten teacher.

Now it's in the next dungeon!

As they progressed deeper into the Blighted Mountains, they saw creatures they had never seen before.

A man-eating flower is able to run on legs.

The bunnies that can be found everywhere on the roadside can even spray poisonous gas.

Of course, as long as the bunny doesn't drive the Gundam, then there is no problem.

Ace used the short blade he carried with him to clear the way in front of him, and his arm raised and slashed down, cutting through the lush foliage.

And Kitt began to take out the [Dragon Grass Detector] she developed, carefully searching for the traces of dragon poison flowers and plants, according to the information she had, dragon poison flowers and plants are essentially some kind of high-purity energy aggregates, and flowers and plants are just carriers on its physical level.

Therefore, as long as a small source of high-purity magic power fluctuations is found in the Blight Mountain Range, it is generally dragon poison flowers and plants, and some investigators in the past are looking for dragon poison flowers and plants.

Diana's staff swung through the air, unleashing illumination magic, and the fog thickened the deeper you went into the depths of the Blight Mountains.

Originally, a flare could illuminate a range of more than ten meters, but now it can only illuminate about five meters around.

This is not good news.

Wearing a small bird's beak mask, Lune looked around, and he felt a vague call, like an instinctive reaction.

It was driving Rune's body, making her want to raise her head and roar in response to that vague call.

A strong tremor suddenly came from the ground.

Everyone was immediately alerted, and Ace picked up a large firearm, wielding a short knife in one hand, to protect the two little ones behind him.

"Everyone, be careful!"

Immediately after, a group of twisted-shaped monsters emerged from the mist, their bodies covered in hard shells, and their mouths spitting foul odor.

"What kind of cursed beast is this?"

The sudden appearance of the monster was strange, Diana had never seen anything like it in a book, and it felt extremely abstract, like a variety of spell beasts fused together.

These unknown monsters unleashed a frenzied attack on the trio, their tentacles slicing through the air like razor-sharp blades, making people shudder.

Ace was the first to rush forward, calmly responding to the attacks, his short knife dancing like a snake, quickly parrying one deadly blow after another. At the same time, he also raised the gun in his hand, and fired a few times, and the cursed beasts were blown to pieces.

"It's so weak, it's probably only about the second order."

Kitt swept over the group of spelled beasts, and the reconnaissance system showed the level of combat power of the spelled beasts.

Diana cast a spell on the side, her fingers dancing slightly, and the air was filled with the aura of fire elementals. She uses her magic to attack monsters, causing them to roll in pain.

The light flashed, and the blessings of the priesthood spread, not only causing damage to the monsters, but also providing strong support to everyone in the team.

Kitt dropped a few bunny bombs, and explosions rang out one after another.

With the tacit cooperation of the three, they gradually gained the upper hand.

The monsters fell one after another under the attack and turned into piles of dust.

After the sudden encounter, a strong poisonous gas gushed out of the ground and quickly spread throughout the valley.

Something seemed to be gasping for air, and it was roaring with its head up.

This poisonous gas is so corrosive that it can melt steel almost instantly.

Everyone felt a pang of suffocation, their gas masks struggling to filter and decorate the mist, and their lungs ached as if they were burning.

"It's not quite right, let's find a place to rest first."

Diana struggled forward, trying to find a way out, and she looked around to determine where she was.

If she remembered correctly, there should be an outpost built by the emperor in the past.

"Everybody come with me!"

Diana's voice was indistinct in the gas.

They followed Diana's footsteps to a larger cave.

This place is extremely hidden, and if Diana hadn't carved the entire map in her mind, I'm afraid the average person wouldn't have found this place at all.

"Sure enough, it can still be used, this is the guard post set up by my father back then, which stores some antidote props and poison gas purification devices. We can take refuge in it and wait for the fog of unknown origin to clear before moving forward. ”

Diana said.

The cavern was dark, with only a faint light penetrating through the opening.

The magic circle in the depths of the cavern was still functioning, and everyone felt their hot throats soothed a little.

Kitt couldn't help but take off her mask and take a big gulp of fresh air.

"Sure enough, it's great to have little Nana on the team!"

"By the way, little Nana, do you know why your father built this thing?"

"I don't know, my father didn't tell me this."

Diana shook her head, she didn't know why the emperor was suddenly established and abandoned, and she wanted to say something.

She heard Rune scream.

"Karma!"

It became clearer and clearer for Luan that inexplicable connection was coming from there.

Underground caverns.

Suddenly, a figure emerged from the darkness, he staggered, and finally fell to the ground with a thud.

Ace was the first to check it out.

He saw a walking corpse that had long since rotted.

The appearance is extremely miserable, and the expression on his face is painful, as if he has become a human and a ghost after years of torture.

An unknown force drives his actions.

"What's that?"

Kitt also wanted to come forward to check on the situation.

As a result, Ace stood in the way of the two children.

Al hesitated for a moment, and reminded in a low voice.

"Nothing to look at. Just a poor man. ”

“……”

Diana really didn't expect that there were still living people in the depths of this abandoned cave.

You know, this thing was scrapped ten years ago.

How the hell did he survive?

"Is there anything else further down?"

Kitt set his sights on the end of the cave.

She took two steps forward, turned a corner, and the world suddenly opened up before her.

Kitt saw a huge cave that had no bottom in depth.

And......

That eerie behemoth.

The depths of the cavern are shrouded in a dark and damp atmosphere, reflecting the terrifying aura of the dragon's skeleton.

Seeing Kitt stunned and stopped, Ace asked curiously.

"Kitt, what do you see?"

Others followed suit and took two steps forward.

They see.

In this wide cave, the massive keel stretches out as if it were a huge labyrinth that traces ancient legends.

In the dark.

The giant keel emitted a glow of greenish.

Its strength is so strong that even if there are only a bunch of skeletons left now, everyone can feel a creepy aura.

The green dragon that once soared in the sky and spread an ominous poisonous fog is now a lonely existence.

The huge skeleton lying in the cave, combined with the sound of water droplets, makes the whole scene even more terrifying and solemn.

The scale of the keel is stunning, the wing bones are intertwined, the bone spurs and edges are mosaic, the wings are fully unfolded, and the light is condensed and magnificent like a flame.

The huge skull hung at the end of the cavern, and there was a blurry glow in the eye sockets.

It seems to tell an old legend that has passed away.

"This ...... What the hell is this......"

Both Diana and Lune were frightened by the sudden appearance of the dragon's skeleton in front of them, the visual impact was too strong, and everyone didn't expect to find the dragon's death here.

Ghostly fires waft deep into the caverns.

Even though the dragon was dead, the strange mist still wafted out of it, spreading along the crevices to the surface.

At this moment.

Everyone understands why there is a poisonous fog in the Blighted Mountains that will never go away......

It turned out that this was once the lair of a top-tier dragon.

But now, the dragon is dead, leaving behind some messes......

Ace looked up, and the magic arrays that purified the poisonous mist had been destroyed, and they couldn't purify the mist that was floating out of the keel at all.

They could not curb the spread of the poisonous mist, so they could only do their best to suppress the fog around the dragon's corpse so that the researchers would not be in a desperate situation.

Right......

Researchers.

Next to the giant dragon corpse more than thirty meters long, Lu En saw some special instruments, some of which were still clinging to the surface of the dragon bone, as if they were measuring something.

On the test bench, there are still bottles and cans that have long since dried up, but there is a mess all around, and it seems that something terrible has happened.

Rune could already feel the constant call coming from the dragon.

Here's the problem, too.

Why did the poisonous fog outside suddenly become much stronger?

"Look! What is it! Isn't it dragon poison flowers! ”

Kitt suddenly noticed something, she screamed, and rushed forward excitedly.

Sure enough.

In the corner of the dragon's corpse, several brightly colored four-petaled flowers and plants are in full bloom.

"Is this a blessing in disguise? It's not bad either. I didn't run in vain. ”

Ace rubbed his sore shoulders, the mission was much easier than he had imagined.

"Our mission is complete, and the next step is to help little Nana find the traces of the sixth-order spell beast. The Blight Mountain Range is so big, you can always encounter some powerful poisonous spell beasts. ”

It's like to liven up a somewhat oppressive atmosphere.

Ace also said casually: "Don't be so pessimistic, you see that we are so lucky, maybe we will bump into ...... when we go out."

The voice did not fall.

The crow's beak activates a passive effect.

There was a deafening thud and smashed outside the cave.

Everyone turned their heads and looked carefully, and the sky became dark.

A huge green dragon with a rotting mist all over its body descended from the sky.

It carries the breath of destruction, but it also brings power that makes everyone tremble.

The emerald green poisonous dragon stretched its head towards the entrance of the cave, and it grinned widely, and actually spoke: "King of the Green Dragon, I didn't expect you to die here after not seeing you for so long." It really made me look for a long time. ”

It was smiling: "In the end, in the end, it was still me, a traitor, who lived to the end, I don't know what kind of expression you should show when you knew this kind of ending." ”
