The Jasper Mine.
It was a large metal mine located at the edge of the Stoneclaw Mountains.
The ones working hard in the mines were the Cave Spiders and the Hill Dwarves. They obtained the ownership of the mine from Lord Chax by handing over a certain amount of metal ores on a regular basis.
Such a rich metal mine was right under the nose of Dragon Lord Chax, but it almost turned a blind eye to it. Other than mining a small amount of metal ores to build magic armor for his dragonoid subordinates, there was almost no other use.
As for building an Iron Empire, digging out the precious metal resources and selling them to other planes of existence, this kind of trade thinking had never appeared in the mind of the Dragon Lord.
Back then, the reason why Chax agreed to let the dwarves and the Spider Sect dig the Jasper Mine was mainly because of the accompanying resources of the metal ores — the magic gems. Charles was not interested in the dark, heavy metal ores that took up a lot of space.
However, it was these metal ores that Chax usually did not care about. At this moment, it had attracted a terrifying enemy that was hard to resist.
After listening to the report from his subordinates, the Rank 2 Wind Dragon Lord Chax stood high on the lone peak. His sharp claws tightly gripped the edge of the stone platform. He leaned forward slightly and looked down at the forest below him. He raised his neck and let out a loud and long dragon roar.
Wherever the dragon roar passed, the whole forest was in chaos.
Countless birds and beasts came out of their nests and fled to the periphery of the Twin Peaks without looking back. The dragonoid camp at the foot of the mountain let out a short and loud roar in response to the dragon roar. Soon, groups of tall and majestic Draconians clad in metal armor and wielding long-handled battle axes charged out in an orderly formation.
There were 102 Rank 1 Berserk Dragonoid warriors. Disregarding the Dragon Envoys who were distributed to various places to collect 'taxes', these Dragonoid warriors were all the power that Chax could muster.
The violent fighting spirit of the Dragonoid warriors had obviously deeply stimulated this Wind Dragon Lord.
If the enemy had just passed through his territory, Chax might have pretended to be deaf and mute and turned a blind eye to the other party's power. But now, the enemy seemed to want to set up camp at the edge of its nest. This was something that could not be ignored no matter what.
So, bending over to look at the vigorous posture of his Dragonoid Legion at the foot of the mountain, Chax the Wind Dragon once again raised his neck and let out a deafening roar that shook the mountains and forests. Then, it spread its wings and flapped the huge greenish-gray dragon wings on its back. Its thick hind legs pushed off the ground and it swooped down.
The Wind Dragon was the master of the sky.
When the ten-ton heavy body moved on the ground, it looked lazy and clumsy, but when it flew into the air, its body was wrapped in layers of translucent wind barriers, and the terror and agility of the Wind Dragon were undoubtedly displayed!
When other giant dragons spread their wings and soared in the sky, they always gave people a feeling that they were not agile. However, when the Wind Dragon soared in the sky, it had the agility and flexibility of a fish playing in the water.
The wind dragon Chax swooped down, and when its huge body was close to the ground, it suddenly pulled up again. When it passed over the Dragon-men, it could not help but raise its head and let out a long and loud dragon roar.
The Dragon-men immediately cheered.
They raised their huge and ferocious battle axes high, saluting their lord as they spread their hooves and followed the Wind Dragon to the Jasper Mine at the edge of the mountain.
… …
However, at this moment, the metal spider had transformed into a strange metal monster. Welcomed by the axes of the hill dwarves and the venom of the cave spiders, it came to the entrance of the Jasper Mine without any hindrance.
The entrance of the Jasper Mine was less than two meters high, and obviously, it could not be entered by its huge body. So, the metal monster stretched out a thick metal tentacle to block the entrance. Thud, thud, thud … In one breath, it shot out a squad of up to 30 combat magic machines into the cave.
As for the small trash and small characters hiding outside the cave, the edge of the metal monster's body suddenly cracked open, and metal pellets shot out from it.
Powered by magic energy, the Arcane Gold Gun of the goblins had been reforged, and now it had a terrifying lethality that was far beyond what it used to be.
Wherever the terrifying metal pellets went, they pierced through wood and shattered stone. Even when they hit a thick mound, they would raise a huge pillar of dust and leave a deep hole in the ground.
The hill dwarves, who were only 1.2 meters tall, obviously didn't have any good metal armor. Hence, their bodies of flesh and blood were instantly riddled with holes under the rapid fire of the flintlock, losing their lives. On the other hand, the cave spiders were agile and fast, and ordinary guns could not kill them in one shot.
So, a few tunnels opened up under the metal monster's huge body, and a few spider puppets rolled out.
Spider versus spider!
Thus, the two completely different spider creations began to fight each other outside the Jasper Mine.
The main weapons of the cave spiders were their sharp fangs, sharp limbs, and the spitting of acid and venom. But these were almost no threat to the fully metal spider puppets.
The metal spider moved its clanking legs and quickly approached its opponent. A few metal pipes suddenly extended from the disc-shaped protrusions placed at the top of its oval-shaped body, and a powerful flame was sprayed onto the bodies of the surrounding cave spiders.
Grilled spiders!
Almost in an instant, the cave spiders that had gathered at the entrance of the Jasper Mine to protect their nests suffered heavy losses. They were all roasted into piles of black charcoal by the high temperature of the flames.
After easily taking care of these hindrance 'trash', Gaz'lurvi's Soul Whisper echoed in the minds of all the wizards.
"Sit tight, I'm going in..."
As more than ten mechanical arms with high-speed rotating drills extended from the metal monster's body, the mine where the Jasper Mine was located had obviously encountered a terrible disaster.
With a deafening roar and the forceful pressure of the metal monster, a huge hole was pierced through the mine, and the body of the metal monster gradually disappeared in a huge cloud of dust that soared into the sky.
Just as the metal monster was struggling to drill into the depths of the mine, a long and loud dragon's roar suddenly came from the depths of the Stoneclaw Mountains.
Along with the dragon's roar came a slight tremor and a deafening roar.
The Wind Dragon and its dragonoid army had arrived!
"I'll leave them to you!" Grimm muttered to himself for a moment before giving Gaz'lurvi a battle order, "Don't expose the existence of a Magus if you can!"
"Understood!" Gaz'lurvi was now much more obedient than before, "It's just a rank 2 dragon, I'll just chase it away..."
With its identity as a rank 3 brain monster, it was no exaggeration to say such words.
With the metal monster and the magical weapons hidden within its body, dealing with a rank 2 Wind Dragon that had just matured was not a problem. If the terrain was suitable, it might even be able to capture the dragon alive.
Hence, after receiving Grimm's order, the metal monster did not stop its drilling. It even increased its pace, as if it had the intention of burrowing into the ground.
The Wind Dragon Chax flew high above the Jasper Mine, looking down at the mess below it with widened eyes.
It was not that it felt sorry for the worthless miners, but it was extremely surprised by the ferocity of its enemy. The enemy did not seem to have any intention of getting along with it, a Dragon Lord, as soon as it arrived, it started destroying the mountain.
From the looks of it, it seemed like it wanted to drill into the mineral veins beneath the mine.
Under the frenzied drilling of the huge metal monster, a large hole with a diameter of 100 meters had been dug out of the mountain. Half of its body had already sunk into the mine.
Damn it, damn it, damn it...
Chax cursed crazily.
It was obvious that the enemy had ignored its existence.
To a Giant Dragon Lord, this was undoubtedly a blatant slap to the face!
Unable to bear it any longer, Chax roared and folded its wings. Its slender body was like a sharp sword as it dived down from a height of 500 meters.
The dragon was here!
Of course, the Wind Dragon Chax's every move in the sky could not escape Gaz'lurvi's spiritual senses.
When he saw the enemy diving down, Gaz'lurvi stopped his digging and ordered his huge body, which was like liquid metal, to prepare for battle.
The manufacturing facilities in the metal monster's body were sent into the mine, and most of the magical weapons were moved to the side exposed outside the mine.
The uneven metal body had now become as smooth as a mirror, like a metal wall that had integrated with the mine. Suddenly, countless holes appeared on the wall, and black muzzles were exposed, aiming at the huge figure that was getting closer and closer.
What... What is this?
The wind howled.
While its body was still diving down, Chax'lurvi's huge eyes were already wide open, looking at the strange behavior of the enemy in confusion.
Although it did not understand what the enemy was trying to do, with the keen intuition of a dragon, an indescribable intuition of death suddenly rose from the depths of its dragon soul.
It would definitely die if it charged straight down like this!
This feeling came so abruptly that it was even a little skeptical.
Just when it was still hesitating whether to straighten its body or continue diving down to give the enemy a short-distance dragon breath spray, Chax'lurvi's sharp vision suddenly captured hundreds of suddenly lit magic convergence points. The speed at which the enemy gathered magic, and the level of energy was so high that it simply left it speechless.
The Wind Dragon was scared out of its wits, and it began to flap its wings desperately, trying to change its flying posture.
Damn it...
