Chapter 68: The Lava World
We are just a bunch of people who are paid fairly for our legitimate labor, and we are fundamentally different from those who have all kinds of strange purposes, and our purpose is very simple—gold.

In a few minutes, the Solo and the others had arrived at the foot of the mountain, where countless corpses were piled up, all of which had been shattered by the touch of dry bones under the effect of the heat. From time to time, the cracked earth spewed white steam, and it was clear that the temperature here had reached an inhuman level.
But Solo and the others were not affected at all, and a layer of black mist appeared around them, which was the power that Miranda blessed on several people, which could completely isolate the erosion of the heat wave.
"Phew, it's good to have you, Miranda, otherwise you'd have been roasted to a human. Domina said happily.
"Domina, it's so hot at the foot of the mountain, let alone in the dragon's den, how did you get into the dragon's den last time when the temperature was so high?" Sawn asked Domina curiously.
"The last time I was here, it was so hot, even in the dragon's den, the temperature was bearable, who knows how long it has been, and the temperature has become so terrible. Domina said helplessly.
"It should be that the dragon eggs are about to hatch, so they need a lot of heat, and it seems that we came in time. Miranda analyzed.
"In that case, what are you waiting for, let's go, for the gold...... Oh no, for justice. ”
......
......
A red dragon has arrived at the Blazing Volcano, and the news that the red dragon is carrying a dragon egg has been confirmed by the Mercenary Guild. Dragons are terrible, but even more terrible than dragons is greed.
At the foot of the mountain, the bones of countless adventurers have proved the dragon's strength and brutality, but it still can't sound the alarm for those who have been blinded by profit.
On the other side of the blazing volcano, a three-person team with the same idea of dragon eggs had come to the mountainside, and the three of them* were wearing their upper bodies, and the most striking thing was the three shiny bald heads.
"Damn dragons, boss, this fucking hot place. The bald head who walked at the end complained and kept pouring water on his body.
"The third child, you have just been promoted to the Meteor Star, and you are not yet proficient in the use of power, after the second child and I open the hole, you will meet us at the entrance of the cave, remember, don't put the dragon egg in the storage bag, otherwise if the young dragon inside dies, we will be busy in vain." The boss in the bald mouth said in a deep voice.
"I know, I know, how many times have you said it, boss. But is it really good to dig through the dragon's den from the back? The third elder shouted.
"Hehe, third, look at what this is. The second child, who had not spoken, spoke, and took out a brown scroll from the storage bag.
"It's ...... Geotechnical Conversion Scroll?"
"Hey, hey, hey, even if you kid still have a little knowledge, it's just that the last time we 'slaughtered sheep', we searched from that female magician. Hey, hey, hey, the magician's feel is so fucking good, that tits, that ass, tsk. The shortest dick smiled darkly, and intoxicated put his hand under his nose and inhaled hard.
"Poof, you bastard is embarrassed to say, it wasn't you who went too far last time and played that chick to death, and I and the third child didn't taste it. The bald boss smashed the second child's shoulder with some anger.
"Hehe, I couldn't help but get a little excited last time. Okay, okay, let's get the dragon egg matter first, if you take the dragon egg to auction, the gold coins you get are enough for our brothers to be free for a while, I heard that there are even female magicians in the Ecstasy Cave, with these gold coins, are you still afraid that there will be no women, hehehe. ”
"That's right, after this vote, the brothers can be chic. ”
"Ha, second brother, hurry up, I can't wait to see those arrogant magicians in my crotch, hahahaha. ”
The three bald heads huddled together and gave out a lascivious smile.
-- Dividing line --
On So'o's side, several people had already arrived at the dragon's lair located on the mountainside, the dragon's lair was more than 50 meters in diameter, and several people stood in front of them like ants.
"Phew, it seems that this dragon is also a big guy, Domina, didn't you go inside last time, you can lead the way in front. Sawo said.
"That ......," Miss Lion squirmed, "actually, the last time I happened to walk here, the dragon spotted me, and I was so frightened that I ran straight down the mountain, and I don't know what was going on inside." ”
"Domina, bragging isn't a good habit. "Soy is full of black lines.
"Tho, don't say it so ugly, you must know that a mercenary is often made by himself. For example, if you only killed a first-order demonic beast, but when you talk to other people, you can say that you have slaughtered a dragon, and the process is described as much thrilling and thrilling, even if someone suspects, after all, the other party can't show evidence that it is not, on the contrary, you can also gain a lot of admiring eyes from people who don't know the truth, and sometimes you can even drink the wine given to you by others in the tavern, which feels quite good. "When it comes to this topic, Miss Lion is very straightforward.
"Alright, you two don't talk about it, our goal is to steal the dragon's eggs, and try not to ask for trouble if we can without disturbing the dragon. Miranda reprimanded two words in time.
"Well, yes, I've forgotten about this stubble, let's go, let's see how lucky we are, let's hope the dragon isn't at home." Domina smiled awkwardly.
The dragon's lair is very clean, the cave wall is as smooth as polished marble, there are no nine bends and eighteen bends as few people imagine, the whole dragon's lair is spiraling and gradually extending downward, when it descends to a certain depth, the light outside can no longer shine in, in a pitch black, only a few people's breathing and footsteps echo in the hot dragon's lair.
About two hours later, when Sawo felt that he had almost reached the bottom of the mountain, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared in the cavern in front of him. As several people approached, the light became brighter and brighter, and the fire elemental in the air became more and more violent.
Finally, after turning a corner, what appeared in front of several people was no longer the pitch-black dragon's lair, red, and the world in front of them was only red.
The air was filled with a pungent smell of sulfur, and the view was distorted by the extreme heat. The viscous and hot magma tumbled from time to time and emitted bright yellow bubbles, and as the bubbles exploded, the magma splashed everywhere, and even splashed at Sawo's feet a few times, and in the middle of this sea of lava, a crimson egg that was half a man tall was quietly supported by a stone pillar standing in the center, which was Soar's target this time - the dragon egg.
"It's not a wise decision to fight a dragon in a place like this, but thankfully, the dragon doesn't seem to be at home, so ...... Hey. ”
Sawo pointed to the dragon egg in the middle of the magma and looked at Miranda. Obviously, only Miranda has the ability to get the dragon egg.
Miranda didn't speak, her black boots stepped in the air, and she came to the dragon egg step by step without incident.
Just as Miranda's hand was about to touch the dragon egg, the otherwise calm sea of lava began to churn violently.
"Roar!! Humans, you are looking for death!!"
In the earth-shattering dragon roar, a deep male voice came out, only to see a huge dragon head slowly rising from the magma, and then the dragon body covered with dark red scale armor slowly emerged, and a behemoth of more than 30 meters appeared in front of several people, the red dragon pupils were filled with monstrous anger, and the air became as if it was about to burn because of its appearance.
"Woman, get out of there. The dragon roared, a mouthful of fiery dragon breath spewing towards Miranda.
"Hmph, I thought you were going to hide under it all the time and not come out, it turned out to be just a mid-level dragon. Miranda snorted coldly, the black mist on her body completely ignored the dragon's breath, and with a wave of her hand, the dragon egg had already fallen into her hand.
"No!! Woman, today I will definitely let you know the consequences of angering the dragons!!"
"Run with the eggs and wait for me back in Rosstown. Miranda tossed the dragon egg at Solo against the dragon's attack.
"Minnie Mouse what are you going to do!!" Although Solo knows that Miranda is very powerful, it is still very reluctant for her to face a mid-level dragon alone.
"Trust me, or staying here will only distract me!!" Miranda snapped.
"Well, Minnie, be careful yourself. With that, Sawn hurried back to the ground with Domina.
"Roar!! Humans are dying!!"
The dragon saw that the dragon egg was taken away by the other two people, and was about to pursue it, but was stopped by Miranda.
"Dragon, your opponent is me, I haven't tasted dragon blood for a long time. Fragrant tongue licked her lips, and Miranda's red eyes shone with a bloodthirsty glow.
