Chapter Twenty-Seven: An Ant Tide

On the way, Kevin explains the mission to Ember.

Just ten days ago, when the Blue Dragon Meteor was returning from an outing, the dragon's keen instinct was that a magic item called the Forbidden Magic Ball was missing from his treasure pile, and his nose sniffed that an unknown creature had invaded his lair.

Holding back his anger and looking all the way over, the blue dragon meteor found that the smell had entered a hole with a diameter of only four or five meters, so the blue dragon dug down hundreds of meters, but the hole was still bottomless.

Meteor is still not reconciled, because this forbidden magic ball is one of the most valuable things in its collection, and such a prop circulating in the human world can be counted with one claw.

As the name suggests, the owner of this magic item can disable all magical elements in a large area around it, making it the best choice against powerful magicians. The exterior resembles a silver mesh sphere.

There is no transfiguration in dragon magic, and the dragon's body grows as big as it gets. And the only one who knows how to transform is the druid of the elven race on the continent, who can turn into all kinds of powerful magical beasts to fight, and the most powerful can even turn into a dragon!

There are only three ways for the Blue Dragon Meteor to retrieve the forbidden magic ball at the moment, one is to continue digging by himself, and the other is to find a head to be good at digging holes??? The earth dragons came to help, but the appearance fee must be expensive and they might have dug up their beautiful islands in a mess, so Meteor chose the third option: find a few small dragons to go into the cave to find them.

Of course, Xiaolong is not so easy to find, Meteor first found his nephew Kevin, although the thirteen-meter-long Kevin can enter, but it is very reluctant, and it is uncomfortable to squeeze. So Meteor had to go around looking for Xiaolong.

Most of the little dragons below ten meters are the little babies in the hands of the dragon parents, and after lobbying for a long time, they also paid the honoraria first, and finally found three little dragons, including Ember.

......

After flying for a long time, Ember and Kevin finally came to the pit dug by the big blue dragon.

In addition to the big blue dragon that occupies most of the pit, there are two small dragons, one gold and one green.

The cyan is the Wind Dragon. Wind dragons are the fastest of all dragons, and breath whirlwind targets are their specialty.

"Hello, Ember. The little red dragon waved his claws.

"Maude. The little golden dragon, which was more than six meters long, glanced over to this side, and then continued to lie down in front of the entrance of the cave and study.

"Clark. The little wind dragon, which was more than five meters long, looked the red dragon up and down, and then its eyes rolled, and it looked up at the big blue dragon lying on the side and said, "Since there is another red dragon, can I quit?"

The big blue dragon was a little embarrassed, although it didn't want to pay an extra honorarium, but it also had to take into account the safety of the little dragons' tasks, in case the little dragon had an accident, the consequences were not something he could afford, so it was impossible to let only one little dragon go down. Although there are still red dragons and golden dragons when the wind dragon exits, three is safer than two, isn't it?

"Whatever. Xiao Jinlong said lightly.

"Why do you want to quit?" asked the little red dragon with some curiosity.

"Well, these gold coins are not rare for me, so I might as well go back to accompany my wife. The little wind dragon pursed his lips.

"How old are you?" the little red dragon shrugged off at its words.

Dragons generally need to be 200 years old to reach adulthood, and the size of the newly adult dragons is about 20-30 meters, and they will only be sexually mature at that time. Unless you train your dragon hard, it is possible to reach the age of dozens of years earlier, and reach the standard of body shape and adult early.

"Cut, believe it or not. Clarke, the little wind dragon, snorted, and after obtaining the big blue dragon's permission, he flapped his wings and flew away.

"This guy is playing with the little girl from the Thunder Dragon family next door to his house all day long, but the little girl of the Thunder Dragon family is only a teenager and only a little more than a meter long. Kevin, the blue dragon next to him, whispered.

Ember made a helpless expression and walked to the little golden dragon not far away, "Let's go now, shall we?"

Maude, the little golden dragon, nodded, and ran headlong into the hole.

It's really straightforward, the little red dragon thought so, and followed into the cave.

The cave is not blown straight down, there is a certain slope that allows the dragon's claws to climb firmly without sliding down.

The red dragon followed behind the golden dragon's tail, and the cave with a diameter of four or five meters was quite spacious for a small dragon that was four or five meters long, so that it would not lower its head.

The light of the cave ** is getting dimmer and dimmer, and the four dragon pupils of two gold, two red, are extra bright in the dark.

Although the dragon could see at night, it was not strong enough to see clearly in a place where there was no light at all, so the red dragon opened its mouth and condensed a fireball into its mouth to illuminate.

The golden dragon in front of it glanced back, and then slowly lit up a fireball above its head, suspended between the two dragon horns.

"You're a fire-earth dualist, is this magic?" asked Ember, a little excited, the firelight around it flickering and dimming as its mouth opened and closed.

"Hmm. The golden dragon just answered, and then still turned his head to look at the surrounding situation.

The red dragon was bored and didn't speak again.

Soon more than ten minutes passed, and the two little dragons were at least a thousand meters deep, and the cave still did not change.

"Could this cave be a passage dug by some worm?" the red dragon finally couldn't help but ask.

"Quite possibly, in my judgment, it should be a worm called a caveworm. Jin Long said calmly, as if he was recounting a matter that had nothing to do with him.

"Huh?" The red dragon's pupils shrank, if this cave was really dug by insects, then this insect must not be much bigger than their two little dragons?

But when I think about it, isn't it just a big worm digging a hole, and if I pass it by myself, it will become a barbecue?

While still thinking about it, the golden dragon's tail in front of him suddenly turned and disappeared from sight.

The red dragon was startled, and quickly raised his head, and suddenly felt that it was suddenly enlightened, it turned out that they had finally walked through this long cave and came to a spacious underground cave.

As soon as the red dragon turned its head, the golden dragon stood next to the exit, gently tapping its claws on the cave wall.

Is it really like that, the red dragon carefully looked at the rock that the golden dragon struck, and he couldn't see anything famous.

After the beating, the golden dragon was not very satisfied, and leaned over the beautiful golden head, and stuck out his tongue to lick it on the rock.

The red dragon ignored it, and turned to observe the cavern large enough to hold a few adult dragons.

Suddenly, Ember's eyes narrowed, and with the help of the firelight, the red dragon saw something reflective in the distance surging, and it seemed to be approaching this way.

"Ahem. The red dragon slammed out the fireball that had been in its mouth for a long time, flew straight to the reflective position, and then exploded with a bang.

"A lot of ants!" the red dragon couldn't help but speak, only to see that the area where the fire was lit was densely packed with ants the size of a black human fist, crawling towards the position of the two-headed dragon one after another.

Seeing that the other party was menacing, the red dragon was not polite, and saw that the ant tide was approaching his range, so he opened his big mouth to one hundred degrees, and the next moment the raging flames erupted from the red dragon's mouth like a dam bursting.

The fire-breathing red dragon is the least afraid of this kind of crowd tactics!

As soon as it came into contact with the flames spewed out by the red dragon, the ants that were still showing their teeth and claws a moment ago turned into ashes in an instant without accident, and the ant tide that had just approached the red dragon within a few tens of meters was instantly forced to retreat several meters by the flames.

Ordinary flames are gentler than dragon flames, and they only burn the ground and crackle before gradually turning to ashes.

At this scene, the golden dragon next to him finally diverted his attention from the rock, and when he saw the dense ant colony, a trace of surprise emerged in the beautiful golden dragon eyes.

"The right side is also here, let's go back to the cave first. The golden dragon suddenly raised his paw and patted the red dragon's back and said.

The red dragon was speechless at this point, only blinked in response. If you want to avoid being climbed by ants, this is the best option.

Although he disdains ants in his heart, the dragon also understands the truth that ants bite and kill elephants, and it is not fun to be crawled on by ants and then burrow into various holes.

Using the corner of his eye, he saw that the golden dragon had retreated into the hole, and the red dragon twisted his neck and threw the flames into a fan shape to force back the ant colony on the right, which was close to ten meters, and then slowly fell back into the hole**.

Hundreds of fist-sized ants were killed every second, but the ants behind them did not flinch in the slightest, and were immediately reduced to ashes.

It seems to be a protracted battle, but unfortunately, the dragon is not afraid of a protracted battle in addition to crowd tactics!

The red dragon has a special channel at its throat that connects to the fire sac inside, which stores a pool of translucent unknown liquid. When the fire is breathed, the transparent liquid slowly flows out of the pipe, and in contact with the oxygen-rich air gushing out of the trachea, it produces a violent reaction and quickly transforms into a blazing dragon flame.

After the two dragons retreated into the entrance of the cave, the ant tide climbed up the cave wall and poured into the cave with a diameter of four or five meters at three hundred and sixty degrees without dead ends, but it was impossible to go any further, and the dragon flame blocked the entire cave entrance at three hundred and sixty degrees, and for a while the picture seemed to fall into a dead loop.

Five minutes have passed, no matter how many ants there are, there must be a degree, right?

Ten minutes have passed, and there are more ants than expected, at least five or six figures have been burned, right?

Twenty minutes passed, and there was still a steady stream of ants pouring into the cave to send them to death, and some of the red dragons were starting to have a dry mouth, and if anyone handed over a glass of cool white water now, Ember would be grateful to Dade.

Thirty minutes passed, and suddenly the flames in the red dragon's mouth suddenly stopped, and then a large puff of black smoke came out of the dragon's mouth.

"Ahem, cough, cough..."The liquid in the fire sac was consumed, and the pure air from the outside world was suddenly inhaled into the trachea, and the red dragon couldn't help but choke and cough a few times.

Seeing the ants that were still densely surging towards him, the red dragon raised his right front paw and pointed at the ant tide, and said weakly in his mouth: "Fireball technique..."
