Chapter 488 Dragon's Lair
"Oh! Look, I've just been away for less than a year, and my lair is fine without any problems." After arriving at the place where he wanted to go, the fire dragon grinned. From the dragon's perspective, it might look like a smile, but from a human perspective, it's a bit scary.
It’s just that the people present are not ordinary people. They are used to it... right?
Zheng Yichen noticed that the two witches seemed a little uncomfortable.
They have never seen a creature like a dragon before. Although they have been improving, the abnormal creatures they have seen are basically obtained through purchase channels. This is actually the first time they have seen an existence like a dragon.
The fire dragon didn't pay attention to this, maybe because from the dragon's perspective, the changes in people's expressions were too subtle and not worthy of too much attention.
"Go inside first."
The fire dragon opened the magic in its lair. The place where the dragon lives naturally has protective magic. Krakowska is good at fire magic. There is also a lot of magic used to protect the nest.
In addition, this place is a volcano, and with a series of magical protections, even fewer people can come here directly.
"A lot of corpses." Katrina whispered as she followed Zheng Yichen. Her voice was very low. She thought the fire dragon couldn't hear it, but Krakowska actually heard it clearly.
Dragons are huge creatures, but their huge size does not mean that they are slow. Dragons have very good hearing. In their true form, they can also hear the collision of a needle falling on the ground, and the total sound is Ordinary people may not be able to hear it.
"Hmph, don't worry about these corpses, they are just people who covet the dragon's treasure." The fire dragon snorted softly, grinning its dragon mouth and revealing teeth that looked awe-inspiring to humans: "Can Those who leave corpses behind show that their strength is pretty good, but those with poor strength cannot even leave corpses behind."
Even so, most of the corpses are charred or directly burned into skeletons. The fire dragon's protection is naturally. Mainly fire, under the power of flames, the dead intruders will either have no ashes, or will be charred black.
“These intruders allow me to occasionally pick up some food.”
“Huh??” Katrina opened her eyes wide and believed what the fire dragon said. In her world, Although dragons are legends, there have always been stories of dragons eating people in related legends.
"You're kidding, what's so delicious about humans?" The fire dragon waved its claws and burned the charred corpses to ashes: "At most, it's just emergency food."
The deeper you go into the dragon's nest, the more people on the road The fewer corpses there were, which gave Zheng Yichen a new understanding of Krakowska's strength.
In the low environment of Hazy City, the fire dragon may appear a little weaker. In this world, the fire dragon is still not the top, but it has already stood above most powerful beings.
The protective magic associated with this volcano allowed his lair to be securely protected. Most of the intruders were intercepted halfway from the lair. Those with outstanding abilities were closer to the lair, but they were left behind. At the real entrance to the lair.
"This person is definitely a high-end thief among the human race." The fire dragon said looking at a corpse at the entrance of his dragon lair.
The corpse did not rot due to environmental problems, but turned into a mummy due to lack of moisture. After checking it, the fire dragon said with certainty the other party's profession: "If it was a spell caster, he would definitely not leave a corpse behind."< br>
Katrina asked curiously: "Can I ask the reason?"
"This is a simple answer. I have deployed a very powerful fire protection magic here. Forcibly If you attack, you will be hit by flames. If the caster fails to crack it, the opponent's magic will be ignited. The stronger the magic, the stronger the backlash will be. Only professions with low magic like warriors or thieves can retain relatively complete corpses... ...I'll look for it."
Fire Dragon explained while looking around, and soon found a black trace: "This is it. There must have been a spellcaster in this place, and the opponent rolled here before he died. Several laps left such traces."
Zheng Yichen walked to the place where Huolong said, grabbed a handful of black ash on the ground and rubbed it: "I found that you are really experienced."
"Tsk, tsk, you'll understand if you see more. As a dragon, you have to get used to this kind of situation. Women cover their ears." The fire dragon said and flew up, letting out a long dragon roar towards the sky. The deafening dragon roar spread. It spread all over the volcano, and even this volcano was a little restless, but the restlessness of the volcano was quickly suppressed by the fire dragon that landed on the ground.
In his home world, Krakowska is very strong, and the fire dragon, who re-asserted his presence, said: "Okay, this way no one will make any plans here in a short time. ”
To a dragon, a year is nothing. To a human, it is already a long time. Just look at the corpses on the road. Fire dragons can see more by living longer. Experience can roughly determine the time when those corpses died, so you can judge what happened to your lair during this period. The invasion started here about four months ago. At that time, the invasion may have been a trial. After someone spread the news, the invasion began to become excessive, but the news was not fully understood.
When it comes to things like profit, the people who come usually come in small groups. Fewer people means that more treasures belonging to the dragon can be taken away.
Large-scale invasion... Well, let's put it this way, as a dragon, if it knows that the lairs of its own race are invaded, the fire dragon will not mind taking the initiative to protect them, especially if the owners of those lairs cannot come back for a while or forever. Can't come back.
For those situations where he cannot come back immediately, his actions can be regarded as protecting the assets of the same clan. After being found by the same clan, he can also take away part of the treasure. If he can never come back, then he I can only inherit it with tears on my lips. I believe that those of the same race who will never return to their lair don't want the inheritance to become that of a foreign race, right?
In short, it is still early for him to come back, and those intruders have not yet reached the level of unscrupulousness. The angry roar just now is a warning, warning those who are interested in this place not to think too much. The owner of Dragon's Nest has returned.
There are two levels of difficulty in a dragon's nest with a dragon sitting there and in a dragon's nest where the dragon has temporarily left.
“My lair is great!” After the fire dragon opened its lair, he showed off his ‘home’.
Zheng Yichen looked at the lair where the fire dragon was displayed. It was not like what Zheng Yichen had imagined before. It was just a huge cave. There were a lot of treasures piled up in the cave, and a dragon was lying on top of the pile of treasures, roaring and laughing.
Actually, this place looks quite good. Although it does not conform to human aesthetics, it is in line with the dragon's aesthetics. There are enough decorations in the lair. The fire dragon's bed is a huge 'nest'. It is somewhat similar to a bird, but the overall appearance is very uniform. In the nest, you can see the gold coins or gems that have been placed in it as if it were decorated.
Although it feels like a nouveau riche, it is not the kind where a lot of treasures are piled together regardless of type.
Fire Dragon noticed Zheng Yichen looking at his nest and immediately explained: "Dragon's scales are very hard. Placing some hard coins and gems in the nest will make you more comfortable while sleeping, and also Treasures with dragons are generally not thrown away casually, don’t think of us like barbarians!”
The fire dragon emphasized this point.
He opened a stone cabinet with his claws. The cabinet was more than two meters thick. Zheng Yichen seemed to be something like a safe. There were some slightly shiny magic array lines inside the cabinet. After opening the child, he saw Something that immediately attracts women's attention.
Well, let alone women, men will be moved when they see it.
It is a golden place, with various gold coins placed in different classes, gems and other treasures classified.
Zheng Yichen walked over and took a look. The gold coins were placed according to the style. Although they were piled together, the types were not confusing.
There are even some gold coins that have the aura of special power on them. Such gold coins account for about one-tenth of the total. The other treasures are either works of art or magic props.
What is more common is that except for gems, most of these treasures are gold products.
"You're welcome, just take it as you like." Fire Dragon waved his hand and said very casually. This cabinet is just a small collection of his, even if it is all lost... Well, if it is stolen He will be furious and reluctant, but if Zheng Yichen wants it, it doesn't matter. Anyway, Zheng Yichen will do bigger things in the future.
"Can the things here buy our previous house?" Zheng Yichen grabbed a gold coin and looked at it. This thing didn't seem to be an ancient coin in this world. It even had the year of production on it.
"Of course it can, but the most important thing is whether the other party can sell it. Mages are generally not short of money." Fire Dragon thought for a while and said: "The old man is almost dead, and money is even less valuable. It’s important.”
This is why Huolong was a little unhappy when he faced the old man’s request. Forget about the dragon blood, he just gave it to him if he didn’t bother to make an extra trip. Dragon marrow? Hey, as a rich dragon, he can just use the money to buy things later. Why does he have to suffer and dig out his own dragon marrow?
If you dig out some of the dragon marrow, it will have a great impact on the dragon. If you lose less blood, you will recover after sleeping. If you dig out some of the dragon marrow and want to recover, it won't take more than a year and a half to recover. The more you dig, the slower your recovery will be.
"Wait for me to find something useful." The fire dragon said and went to another place in the lair. As for the contents of the opened huge stone cabinet, Zheng Yichen and others chose whatever they wanted.
Zheng Yichen casually threw a few gold coins into the universal tool box in the motorcycle. Seeing that Huolong didn't hide his behavior, he walked over. Huolong didn't care and opened it in front of Zheng Yichen. Another storage stone cabinet covered by magic. This cabinet is not large in size. It is just like a standard treasure chest in an RPG game...
