Slight shaking inside the canyon.

It is like a relatively weak earthquake, and there is no very obvious vibration, but this kind of vibration is real, and it is still transmitted from the ground at a stable frequency, the feeling is like a heartbeat, full of With a sense of rhythm. The remaining earth elements in the canyon stayed in place as if sluggish, gathered after a while, and then drilled into the ground along the altar, not knowing where they entered the ground.

About tens of kilometers away from the canyon, on the edge of the Emerald Mountains, there is a dragon cave built on a cliff.

Most of the dragon's nests are very steep. This is the dragon's first line of defense. The normal way is difficult to reach because it is surrounded by cliffs. This tavern story is very fake, because the heroes all walk all the way to the dragon's nest. In fact, most of the time to enter the dragon's nest, you need to climb cliffs hundreds of meters high. At this time, you need a lot of tool. The heavy armored warriors are the hardest at this time. If there is no spellcasting professional to bless the flying technique, it will take a while to climb up.

Geographical factors are only the first trouble, there are many traps around the dragon's nest, including very deadly spell traps.

If you are unlucky, you will also find that the dragon's nest is a small labyrinth, which is guarded by a large number of monsters. These are the servants of the dragon, who work and provide food for them. But most of the time, only old dragons will be guarded by monsters, and young dragons are not so confident that they can always control those slaves.

This is the lair of a copper dragon.

There are obvious traces of artificial transformation around the dragon cave. It is that the giant dragon flattened the stone wall near the mountain, making it a right angle of 90 degrees vertical. It is difficult to think of creatures that basically cannot fly. There is a large platform in front of the nest. Dragons also need space to take off and land. It is more difficult to fly when they flap their wings. When they hunt, they all dive down and then glide into the sky in an arc.

A copper-colored dragon crawled in the lair.

It looks almost the same as the legendary dragon, the only special thing is that its forelimbs are thicker. The pupil color is already very pale and looks like turquoise. The physical characteristics of dragons are important because they represent their most ferocious physical attacks. Dragon's breath is not the most deadly. Many spells can resist dragon's breath, and shield block can also be used. Experienced high-level adventurers know that dragon's wing slap and dragon's claw tear are more dangerous than dragon's breath.

This was originally a sleeping dragon, but it has now woken up.

It lay on the treasures that were nearly half a floor high, a dazzling golden light shone, and the hideous dragon head looked in the direction of the canyon. Dragons are very hungry after waking up from sleep, and they are more aggressive at this time. It stretched out its long, narrow red tongue, and rolled up a basin-sized metal ore from the side. Just like eating chocolate, it was crunchy. The sharp fangs easily crushed the hard ore. The copper dragon gnawed off a piece of ore in just a few seconds, and then licked its teeth with its long and narrow tongue. , said slowly: "Which idiots awakened the spirit of the earth? Aren't they afraid of bearing the wrath of the earth?"

After chewing off a piece of ore, the red copper dragon regained a little energy. It stretched its huge dragon wings and walked out of the nest. In front of the dragon's nest was a platform dozens of meters wide, but it still felt that the space was too small after it came out. The red copper dragon stands on the top of a steep mountain wall hundreds of meters high. Looking down at the piece of land in front of him, this is its territory. The copper-colored metal scales reflected light in the sunlight, and this ferocious and elegant creature raised its head, and then jumped off the cliff with a sudden jump. After swooping and falling for dozens of meters, he fanned his dragon wings and flew into the air, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed into the air thousands of meters high.

An invisible coercion spread, and the animals that migrated to the vicinity because the dragon was sleeping frantically fled for their lives.

It didn't even look at those poor reptiles, flapping its dragon wings and flying towards the plains a hundred kilometers away. There are strong clefthoofs, a variant of rhinoceros that can weigh about three tons. Enough for a full meal.

dark underground world.

In a dark red cave, a ferocious creature like a meat ball slowly opened its eyes.

The walls on all sides are dark red, and they seem to contain some kind of mineral. The awakened creature has many eyes. It first opened the huge one eye in the center of its head, and then opened the eyes on the tentacles around its head. Its eye stems are like earthworms, and its body is about five meters in diameter. No body touches the ground, but the whole sarcoma-like head is suspended in the air. The tentacles, which are densely packed with dozens of roots, are covered with eyeballs, which make the scalp tingle just like a dense burst.

"The spirit of the earth has awakened!"

Its huge mouth is full of sharp fangs, and it glanced around with cold and ruthless eyes, and then flew out of the cave in suspension. It has been sleeping for more than ten years. The beholder who just woke up is hungry, it has consumed too much energy for further advanced mutation, and even its original servants have become food in its mouth. But it doesn't matter, as long as it is willing to charm more servants in the underground world soon.

An invisible web of perception spread.

I don't know if it's an advanced beholder or a giant-eyed tyrant, but it must be a legendary beholder who flew out of the lair, and soon a group of gray dwarves entered its perception range. It flew over lightly and silently, without any sound coming out, an eyeball on a tentacle shot a light, and shot a gray dwarf through the head in an instant, and the remaining gray dwarves screamed in horror , those who tried to escape were instantly killed by the rays, and the rest were kneeling on the ground and shivering.

The huge beholder swallowed half of the body of a gray dwarf with its mouth open. As the blood pot chewed, droplets of fresh blood and minced flesh spilled out. It glanced coldly at the survivors with one eye in the center, followed by an aura of magic. , those gray dwarves who survived all had dull expressions, knelt in front of it respectfully and said, "Master."

The dull eyes gradually recovered, and the spiritual imprint of the charm spell has begun to take effect.

The gray dwarf's eyes became clearer, but he lifted the body of his companion with great respect and began to serve the new master to eat.

………………

Sauron and his party returned along the same path.

The halfling was still happily counting the gems, and Gloria gently lifted her long hair and looked behind her, with a strange expression on her face. Before she left, she seemed to feel something, which was the energy fluctuation from the ground. Sauron walked behind with Vivian on his back, and suddenly he seemed to notice something. The cold hairs on the whole body suddenly rose, and the palm of the hand unconsciously held the scimitar, and at the same time looked up at the sky in the distance. There was also a halfling who felt the same way. The gems in Aladdin's hands fell to the ground, and he pulled out the dagger in an instant.

Gloria stiffened for a moment, subconsciously blessed an energy shield, and then looked into the distance with frowning.

A ferocious and huge figure swept past like a shadow!

Sauron's face changed slightly, and he said solemnly: "Bronze Dragon!"

It was an adult red copper dragon. It didn't notice the tiny human being blessed with invisibility underground. It was very hungry when it just woke up. The last thing I want to do now is grab an adult male clefthoof and feast on it. The entire team was taken aback by the flying dragon. All creatures within the range covered by Longwei were affected. The only normal thing was the little girl on Sauron's back. She raised her head and looked at it. The giant dragon in the sky murmured, "It looks so majestic!"

Vivian's little head didn't know what she was thinking, but her cute little face showed a longing expression.

But no one paid her any attention at this time.

After waiting for the giant dragon to fly past, the others breathed a sigh of relief. Sauron couldn't help but quicken his pace, and the halfling also put away the gems. Trot forward to follow them.

This is an adult dragon.

With a legendary challenge rating, they don't want to encounter such a creature now.

behind them.

The Druid who was tracking stopped suddenly, he pulled out a feather from the messy hair, and then quickly chanted a spell. The whole person actually turned into an eagle in an instant. The eagle spread its wings and soared to an altitude of several hundred meters. After glancing at the direction where the dragon was leaving, it turned around and flew towards the other side. An adult red copper dragon sleeping near the Emerald Mountains has awakened, and this matter must be told to Your Excellency Earthwalker. Even though metal dragons are kind-hearted, they are also very dangerous.

All dragons are a little moody!

When they saw a living dragon flying by, everyone had no intention of staying. They traveled all night and finally returned to the original elf village the next day. The village is still very peaceful, and no creature will attack the elves at will, because this will attract retaliation from the forest patrol.

Deterring the enemy not only requires powerful force, but also some cruel means!

Elves are not graceful in their revenge, and they are equally bloody when dealing with alien enemies, otherwise the nearby ogres, half-blood orcs, and wild monsters would not have migrated to other places one by one. The hands of those elf patrol guards were stained with blood, and the creatures they hunted would definitely not be less than the current Sauron. Every race has a group of cold-blooded and ruthless warriors. They are different from ordinary civilians. Their mission is to fight and kill!

Sauron and his party finally returned to the inn, and the halflings couldn't wait to start distributing the spoils.

Sauron got 40%, Aladdin got 30%, Gloria only got three elemental cores in addition to the first two crystals, and finally even Vivian got a dozen gems. The little girl held up the gem in front of Sauron with a contented face, because her small palm couldn't hold so much, but her face had a cute look of offering a treasure. Sauron just touched her little head lightly and asked her to put away the gems by herself. So she smiled and put the gemstones into the delicately embroidered silver-edged dimensional bag, which was already full of many things.

After the allocation is complete, Sauron will have a chance to take a look at that legendary item!
