251 Red Dragon

"Lord Moore, are you sure it's here?" an adventurer looked at the bloody aura that spread around him, and his eyebrows furrowed: "This is more like a cemetery. ”

Savvy adventurers know that in such a pursuit, there is only one way to die if they go underground alone, so they have wisely chosen another option: follow the official forces of Waterdeep and be a low-key follower.

The danger under the mountain is familiar to almost all people who know a little about Jianwan, this piece of darkness and darkness does not know how many foolish and brave people are buried without a head, and there are not many people who can get out of the mountain safe and sound in the past ten years, so these brave people do not expect to be able to become a strong man who bravely enters the tiger's den in Longtan - the knife licks the blood for too long, although most of them are not afraid of death, but few people are willing to accept needless death.

They just hope to be able to take a ride and be able to curry favor with Waterdeep and catch some broth in the rumored rich and endless Leyline Maze, and it will be useless...... You must know that the Black Robe of Hylaster has spent more than 2,000 years building this rich and terrifying demon cave.

Even now, some of the gems that have fallen around have made many adventurers start to itch their hands and satisfy their greed with actions, these actions have not been stopped, but some adventurers have begun to use their fists and feet to solve some disputes arising from treasures, but they have suppressed their impulses under the warning gaze of the guards of Waterdeep.

I have to say that no matter what kind of world, there will always be only a few people who are pure in their hearts and yearn for kindness.

These adventurers are no exception.

As a powerful paladin, Moore knew this very well, so he rarely pitched his faith to the outside world over the years, but quietly followed his own path - just like most paladins.

So he didn't reply to the adventurer's uneasy questioning, but continued on his way, but his young female assistant was clearly dissatisfied: "Oh, that's right, gentlemen, this is a cemetery, and you should know it from the moment you enter the mountain. So ......"

She glanced with disgust at the person next to her who was digging for treasures from the walls, floor tiles, or dust heaps, and her tone was a little disapproving: "Although I am very grateful for your support of Waterdeep, if you feel that it is not worth continuing to wander in this graveyard-like crypt, we will not force you to stay, on the contrary, we will more sincerely advise you to return home sooner." ”

This remark made some of the shameless ones blush, but some still politely asked, "But Ms. Steele, we are very curious as to why you chose this path, and we know nothing about the mountain, so we will inevitably be confused." ”

"Since you know nothing, follow those who know, and know that our mystery has left some marks on the thief that cannot be erased for the time being, as long as she does not go deeper. Ms. Steele's rigid account reassured the mercenaries a little, and some of the people who came with bargains searched for the jewels on the ground more attentively, and Steele's official statement undoubtedly dispelled some of their uneasiness, and also diverted their attention to some extent, and their behavior became more and more imprudent.

A huge jewel appeared not far ahead, and the small group of two groups who picked up the treasure and picked up the soft hands immediately pounced on it like mad dogs, this is an amazingly large diamond, of course, enough to arouse the irrational greed of memorials, Steele's eyebrows furrowed tightly, and he looked sideways at Moore, who had drawn half of his long sword, but the latter shook his head, although he did not relax the hilt, but began to lower his eyelids, and chanted the canon in a voice that only he could hear.

If God wants death, He must first grant madness.

A pillar of fire erupted from the black hole on the other side of the hall, and the two groups of people surrounding the shining diamond suddenly turned into ashes, and all the guards of Waterdeep and other well-trained warriors drew their weapons and went on guard, while the rest of the rabble let out a terrified cry of horror from the huge bodies behind the pillar of fire.

"Red Dragon! It's a Red Dragon!"

The monster, nearly fifty feet from end to end, crawled out of the corridor at the end of the hall, its footsteps shaking the debris and gems scattered on the floor of the hall like an earthquake.

Its eyes were blazing with red flames, and the loud scream of its neck made the air vibrate with it, as if an earthquake had been filled with a typhoon.

It's an ancient dragon.

Measuring the length of the red dragon, you can roughly calculate the age of this guy, and everyone's hearts are all tightened.

However, noticing the cloudiness in the dragon's eyes, Moore and some well-informed fellows were slightly stunned.

Dragons are highly intelligent creatures, but this huge creature has no intelligence in its eyes, just like a raging beast.

Quite a few of those who have dealt with dragons have realized that something is wrong almost instantly.

Moore's wary gaze fell on the red dragon's broad back, where a blue robe fluttered, and a slight mocking chuckle floated out of that place, with the echo of the four walls of the hall, into the ears of the crowd:

"Oh~ Don't be so nervous, great warriors, Lord Black-robed seems to have some kind of technology to turn dragons into idiots, thanks to his legacy, I can subdue this big guy so easily, hehe, you must know that it is too difficult to subdue a sane dragon who can perform arcane arts. ”

"Forgive me for not being able to say congratulations to you, lady. Moore uttered a deep, loud voice, mixed with the sound of his armor rubbing as he walked forward, like a metallic sound: "Because this means that my comrades will pay more casualties, allow me to have non-existent hope in your goodness, that you will be held accountable for the sins you have committed in the city, and that this may bring you redemption." ”

"Hah, clichΓ©, why do I think that killing you is the best salvation?" the psyker named Beria Mayel raised two thin eyebrows from his veil, "Oh, that's why I'm here, and it saves you from having to spend more effort trying to find my whereabouts, like a swarm of boring headless flies." ”

She patted her mouth as if disinterested.

"Thank you for your kind and understanding. Moore drew his sword with a solemn face and swung it back: "Quick! everyone retreat!"

An ancient dragon-level red dragon, even if it can't cast spells, with only the brute strength and high-heat dragon breath given by its huge body, it is already a very terrifying existence.

Not to mention a strange psyker.

Psionics are rare in Faerun, and every time they appear, they give others an eerie feeling.

This power, which is intimately connected to the mind, is more frightening than a mere mind or necromantic arcane.

What's more, the cultivation and release of spiritual energy already has a very strange taste.

Moore silently weighed the manpower he brought, even if he added those adventurers who didn't know if they were willing to contribute, if he fought hard against this red dragon, whether he could win or not would be for the time being, but he would definitely pay a huge price.

This is not an ordinary dragon, but an ancient dragon that will only appear among dozens of dragons, the top of the multiverse food chain, a monster that has truly left countless prestige in countless planes.

As a battle-hardened warrior, Moore knew what was needed now was a strategic retreat.

But Beria was clearly not going to let them go.

An even more violent howl sounded, and an astonishingly thick dragon breath swept through half of the hall, and more adventurers who saw the bad situation were still burned by the fire until their flesh and blood turned to ashes despite the retreat earlier, Moore roared, and the large shield that shone with magical brilliance extended a curtain of light, blocking this blazing flame, but immediately a greater force rushed to the top of the shield, and the crazy dragon slammed into the shield with one claw, with an amazing loud bang, he was suppressed on the ground by the giant claws of the red dragon, and the shields and armor made of metal were twisted and deformed under the tremendous pressure, and blood foam continued to gush out of his mouth, as if it was only a slight difference from death。

"Captain!" his lieutenant was so anxious that he immediately ordered an all-out attack, but neither the shields or armor that seemed fragile in front of the massive body, nor the weapons and spells that could not penetrate the red dragon's thick scaly skin, could not stop the ancient beast's frantic slaughter.

The blue-robed man on the dragon's back kept making a crisp laugh with some madness, and the fluctuations of destructive power continued to appear in the space around her, sweeping through the huge cone-shaped space, shaking everything in its path into pieces, or an invisible sound that went straight into the soul, making people's minds go crazy and out of control in the constant restlessness, and finally destroyed under the fierce attack of the red dragon together with **.

Eventually, nothing was left in a sea of blood strewn with debris, rust and charring that filled the hall, and the red dragon yawned.

The life cycle of this brainwashed retarded dragon is like that of a primitive beast, and after a mass killing, he will naturally get tired, and the smell of blood and burning is enough for him to be satisfied.

Beria Mayil also seemed very satisfied, and she flicked her finger lightly, and her pleasant voice was contemptuous:

"It's really vulnerable. ”

The dragon sniffled and let out a snort of approval, a simple IQ that would allow it to know how to please its new master at the right time and in the right way.

Although it is a creature with an inherently arrogant nature, with the loss of intelligence, it is clear that dignity is no longer in mind.

Or rather, it had lost that concept, but this snort gave it an unexpected surprise, and it sharpened its four paws, flapped its wings twice, and let out a roar at a large rock near the entrance to the hall.

"Who's there?" both blue eyes turned to the stone at the same time.

A soft, menacing voice skirted the stone and burrowed into Penny's ears, a faint bead of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he turned to look at the terrified bard.

Although each has its own way of stealth, the bard's habits are obviously not enough to deal with the perception of this ancient dragon.

What's more, Penny noticed that the bard's sweat beads were falling to the ground one by one, and the appearance of the primeval red dragon obviously frightened him a lot.

As a result, flaws were exposed.

Before Penny could think of how to react, Belial raised his hand, and a dragon's breath flooded the stones where several people were hiding, and everyone dodged one after another, but some of the flames stained were enough to wipe out all kinds of protective spells on his body, and Belial's pleasing eyes swept over the four people who revealed their bodies with an extremely uncomfortable gaze: "Hmm? Such a cute little girl would come here to die? ”

She frowned, obviously surprised, but even more surprised that the 'cute-looking' little girl had not seen the slightest fear in the face of her gaze when she heard this, but had made a happy face at herself.

This undoubtedly made Beria frown: "Oh, the goddess is above, this little girl doesn't know what to fear, such a surname can't live long in the multiverse, how did her adults educate her?"

"Ahem......" Penny, who was criticized without naming names, immediately took his seat, and he coughed a little embarrassedly, attracting the lady's attention: "I'm sorry for this lady, please forgive me for interfering with your evacuation plans, but our purpose is not you. ”

Although he was curious about some of the things that Belial had, after seeing a series of scenes, reason told Penny that this woman was not easy to provoke, and his main target was the relics that Helast might leave behind, and from this point of view, it was really unwise to provoke this woman.

"It's not me?" Belia glanced at the interjecting man, "Then why did you come back to this place?

"Well, I have to say that your choice of words and sentences is worth learning, dear ma'am. Penny sarcastically said a word, took two steps forward, and blocked the three people who were still putting out the fire, now that they were discovered, it was useless to retreat, because the portals in this damn labyrinth were all one-way, and he was not allowed to stand in front of him without taking the initiative: "Please believe that I really have no ill will towards you." ”

"Oh, I believe in that too, but unfortunately we have the same purpose in a way, but I see that you weak idiot looks like a dead end, and it is a dead end to continue to go down, so I might as well go a little harder and send you to the Styx in advance. Belial waved his hand lightly, and a roar rolled out of the dragon's throat: "Save the words of thanks, I will help you educate your little ones well, and you can go to the Lord of Eternal Sleep with peace of mind." ”

Beria glanced at the little girl in the distance, and what made her frown was that the little girl still had no fear on her face, but took out some large and small pipes from behind the back, and began to assemble them behind the stones.

But that wasn't enough to grab her attention, and the red dragon's massive head reaching high into the top of the cave blocked her view, and the scales on the dragon's neck were stretched open by bulging muscles, a precursor to an attack.

"Shameless woman!" Lanny charged forward in anger, but was stopped by Penny.

A sneer bloomed at the corner of Belia's mouth, and the dragon launched an angry attack, as if in the next moment, the four people in front of him would all turn into a puddle of flesh.

But the picture she imagined did not happen, but a vibration of gold and iron made her ears ring for a moment, as if the dragon had hit a wall made of pure metal, which undoubtedly made Beria feel incredulous, and the dragon who sat down also let out a painful wail because of this impact, and staggered back two steps with a large stride that shook the ground, and when he stabilized the moment, Belia recovered from his dizziness and saw the culprit who caused the dragon to knock out a large bag.

It was a huge figure made of metal, as if it was a metal golem, but to her surprise, this golem was actually more than twenty feet tall - what was even more terrifying was that this height was still the height at which the colossus made a one-knee squatting movement with both hands in front of it, and if the colossus could stand up, the height would definitely exceed thirty feet.

It was incredibly shocking and incredible, as she had never imagined that a similar construct could be of such a size, because no mage could create such a massive metal structure, at least in the world of Torrell.

......Arnell, hiding behind the stones, straightened his eyes again, and muttered a rumor he had heard about the giant creature that was running rampant in the south of Serre and coincided with the giant iron man beneath Penny.

With one leg on its legs, the powered magic gas engine emitted a deafening whistle that even overshadowed the dragon's roar for a moment, followed by a squeaky metal grinding, and it quickly stood up and told Belia, who had fallen into a stupor, that this thing was not an ornament.

And the dragon she sat on, the roar rolling in her throat filled with the smell of vigilance.

"I'm sorry, ma'am, but it seems like you need to reconsider your plans. The wizard stood on the shoulders of the giant god soldier and spread his hands towards the stunned Beria, standing in this position, he was much taller than the other party, there is no doubt about it, because the giant god soldier is upright, and although the dragon is longer, but the tail that occupies a quarter of the body makes it seem that it is not as big as the giant god soldier, not to mention that it is still crawling, so it seems that Beria is even more insignificant, and the original turbulent momentum is also a little disintegrated: "Because I am not as easy to deal with as you think." ”

When he said this, he felt a little emotional, as if he hadn't used this half-finished thing for a long time.

Because since he left Nancer, most of the enemies he has encountered are high-level spellcasters, and it is obvious that there are huge limitations in dealing with these enemy giant god soldiers, but it seems to come in handy to deal with dragons who are also huge in size and have brute strength, but are unable to perform magic because of their weak minds.

However, he also took some risks, as Penny was not sure if Master Justiree, who kept the dragon, would notice something unusual because of his access.

However, at this point, it seems that he is not allowed to think too much.

Otherwise, there would be no better way for the dragon in front of him to deal with it.

β€œ...... Is that so?" Belia let out an unnatural swallowing sound in his throat, but he didn't flinch from it, and his blue eyes flickered: "It's amazing, but ...... You have to make sure this iron guy can stop me!"

She let out a high-pitched snort, and the dragon beneath her raised its head again.

Compared to the iron guy under Penny, this dragon is also not small.
