There was a slight vibration inside the canyon.
It was like a relatively weak earthquake. There was no obvious tremor, but the vibration was real, and it came from the ground at a stable frequency. It felt like a heartbeat, full of rhythm. The remaining Earth Elementals in the canyon seemed to be in a daze. After a while, they gathered together and drilled into the ground along the altar. No one knew where they went.
About ten kilometers away from the canyon, on the edge of the Emerald Mountains, there was a dragon's den built on a cliff.
Most of the locations of the dragon's den were very steep. This was the dragon's first line of defense. It was difficult to reach by normal means because it was surrounded by cliffs. This point was very fake in the tavern stories because the heroes all walked all the way to the dragon's den. In fact, most of the time, to enter the dragon's den, one needed to climb cliffs hundreds of meters high. At this time, many tools were needed. Heavy Armor Warriors were the most miserable at this time. If there was no spell-casting profession to support flight, it would take a long time to climb up.
The geographical factor was only the first trouble. There were many traps near the dragon's den, including very deadly spell traps.
If you were unlucky, you would find that the dragon's den was a small maze with many monsters guarding it. These were the dragon's slaves, who worked and provided food for them. But most of the time, only the old dragons would be guarded by monsters. The young dragons were not so confident that they could control those slaves all the time.
This was the den of a copper dragon.
There were obvious signs of modification around the dragon's den. The dragon had flattened the stone walls near the mountain, making it a vertical 90-degree angle. It was difficult for creatures that could not fly to come up. In front of the den was a large platform. The dragons needed space to take off and land. It was more difficult to flap their wings to fly. When they hunted, they swooped down and then glided into the sky in an arc.
A copper-colored dragon was crawling in its lair.
It looked almost the same as the legendary dragons. The only special thing was that its forelimbs were thicker, and the color of its pupils was very light. It looked like turquoise. The physical characteristics of dragons were very important because physical characteristics represented their most ferocious physical attacks. Dragon Breath was not the most deadly attack. Many spells could resist Dragon Breath, and so could shields. Experienced high-level adventurers knew that Dragon Wing Strike and Dragon Claw Tear were more dangerous than Dragon Breath.
This was originally a sleeping dragon, but now it had woken up.
It was lying on top of a pile of treasures that was almost half a story high. A dazzling golden light shone, and its ferocious dragon head looked in the direction of the canyon. Dragons would be very hungry after waking up from their deep slumber. At this time, they would be even more aggressive. It stretched out its long and narrow red tongue and rolled up a metal ore the size of a washbasin from the side. Just like that, it crunched it as if it was eating chocolate. Its sharp fangs easily crushed the hard ore. It only took a few seconds for the red copper dragon to gnaw off a piece of ore. Then, it licked its teeth with its long and narrow tongue and said slowly, "Which idiot woke up the spirit of the earth? Are they not afraid of suffering the wrath of the earth? "
After gnawing off a piece of ore, the red copper dragon recovered 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 tens of meters wide, but after it walked out, it still felt that the space was too small. The red copper dragon stood at the top of a steep mountain wall hundreds of meters high and looked down at the land in front of it. This was its territory. The red copper metal scales refracted light in the sun. This ferocious and elegant creature raised its head, then jumped down from the cliff. After diving down for tens of meters, it flapped its dragon wings and rose into the air. In the blink of an eye, it rushed to a height of thousands of meters in the air.
An invisible pressure spread out, and the animals that migrated to the vicinity because of the dragon's sleep fled frantically.
It didn't even look at the poor reptiles. It flapped its dragon wings and flew to the plains 100 kilometers away. There were strong Cleft Hoofed Bulls, a mutant of rhinoceros. They could weigh about three tons, which was enough for it to have a full meal.
In the dark underground world.
In a dark red cave, a ferocious creature that looked like a meatball slowly opened its eyes.
The walls on all sides were dark red, which seemed to contain some kind of mineral. The creature woke up with a lot of eyes. First, it opened the huge eye in the middle of its head, then the eyes on the tentacles around its head opened. Its eye stalks were segmented like earthworms. Its body was about five meters in diameter. None of its body was touching the ground, but the whole sarcoma-like head was strangely floating in the air. There were dozens of tentacles with eyeballs. It was like a dense explosion that made one's scalp tingle.
"The spirit of the earth has awakened!"
Its huge mouth was full of sharp fangs. It glanced around with a cold and ruthless gaze, then flew out of the cave. It had been sleeping for more than ten years. The newly awakened Eye Demon felt hungry. It had consumed too much energy in order to evolve further. Even its original servants had become food in its mouth. But it didn't matter. As long as it wanted to, it could quickly charm more servants in the underground world.
An invisible perceptual web spread out.
It wasn't known if it had evolved into an Elder Eye Demon or a Giant Eye Tyrant, but it was definitely a Legendary-level Eye Demon that flew out of its nest. Soon, a group of gray dwarves entered its perception range. It flew over quietly without any sound. One of the eyeballs on one of its tentacles shot out a ray of light, and instantly shot through the head of a gray dwarf. The rest of the gray dwarves screamed in horror. Those who tried to escape were instantly killed by the ray, and the rest kneeled on the ground, trembling.
The huge Eye Demon opened its mouth and swallowed half of a gray dwarf's corpse. As it chewed with its bloody mouth, drops of blood and flesh spilled out. Its central eye coldly glanced at the survivors. With a flash of magic, the surviving gray dwarves were all stunned. They respectfully knelt in front of the Eye Demon and said, "Master."
Their dull eyes gradually recovered. The Soul Imprint of the Charm spell had begun to take effect.
The gray dwarves' eyes became clear, but they respectfully carried the corpse of their companions and began to serve their new master.
…
Søren and the others went back the way they came from.
The Halfling was still happily counting the gems. Gloria gently lifted her long hair and looked behind her. Her expression seemed a little strange. Before leaving, she seemed to have felt something. It was an energy wave from the underground. Søren carried Vivian on his back and walked at the back. Suddenly, he seemed to have noticed something. His whole body had goosebumps. His hand unconsciously held the curved sword, and at the same time, he looked up at the sky in the distance. The Halfling also felt the same. The gems in Aladdin's hand fell to the ground, and in a flash, he pulled out his dagger.
Gloria's body stiffened for a moment. She subconsciously cast an energy shield, and then looked into the distance with her eyebrows knitted.
A ferocious and huge figure swept across the sky like a shadow!
Søren's expression changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Red Copper Dragon!"
It was an adult Red Copper Dragon. It didn't even notice the tiny humans who had cast Invisibility on the ground. It had just woken up and was very hungry. The thing it wanted to do the most now was to catch an adult male Split-Hoofed Bull and have a good meal. The whole team was shocked by the flying dragon. All the creatures within the range of the dragon's aura were affected. The only one who was relatively normal was the little girl on Søren's back. She raised her little head and looked at the dragon in the sky and murmured, "It looks so majestic!"
He didn't know what was going on in Vivian's little head, but there was a longing expression on her cute little face.
But at this time, no one paid attention to her.
Until the dragon flew past, the others were slightly relieved. Søren couldn't help but quicken his pace. The Halfling also put away the gems and trotted forward to catch up with them.
It was an adult dragon.
It had a Legendary Challenge Rating. They didn't want to meet such a creature now.
Behind them.
Druil, who was chasing after the dragon, suddenly stopped. He pulled out a feather from his messy hair and quickly chanted a spell. His whole body turned into an eagle in an instant. The eagle spread its wings and soared hundreds of meters in the sky. After glancing at the direction the dragon left, it turned around and flew in the other direction. An adult Red Copper Dragon that was sleeping near the Emerald Mountains had awakened. This matter must be reported to the Earth Walker. Even if the Metallic Dragons were relatively kind-hearted, they were still very dangerous.
All dragons were somewhat temperamental!
When they saw a living dragon flying past, no one had the intention to stay. They hurried through the night and finally returned to the original Elven village the next day. The village was still very peaceful. No creature would attack the Elves at will, because it would attract the revenge of the forest patrol.
Not only did it require powerful force to deter the enemy, but it also required some cruel means!
When the Elves took revenge, there was no elegance to speak of. They were also incomparably bloody when dealing with foreign enemies. Otherwise, the nearby ogres, mixed-blood orcs, and wild monsters would not have migrated to other places one by one. The hands of the Elven patrol were stained with blood. The creatures they hunted were definitely not less than Søren. Every race had a group of cold-blooded and ruthless warriors. They were different from the ordinary civilians. Their mission was to fight and kill!
Søren and the others finally returned to the inn. The Halfling couldn't wait to distribute the spoils of war.
Søren got 40%, Aladdin got 30%, Gloria got the first two crystals, and only got three elemental cores. In the end, even Vivian got ten gems. The little girl held the gems in front of Søren with a satisfied face. Because her hands were small, she couldn't hold so many gems. However, her face showed a cute expression as if she was presenting a treasure. Søren just gently patted her little head and let her put the gems away. So she smiled and put the gems into an exquisitely embroidered multi-dimensional bag with silver edges. It was already full of many things.
After the distribution, Søren finally had the chance to take a look at the legendary item!
