Zola's heart skipped a beat as he watched from the back. Although the Rock Dragon was a piece of cake for a Mage, Sika was a Warrior. Such a delicate beauty, what if she was hurt by the Rock Dragon …
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but want to pull out the tear stain on his back.
Sika came to a place five meters away from the Rock Dragon and suddenly exerted strength in her feet. Even Zola didn't see how she did it. In the blink of an eye, Sika was already next to the Rock Dragon. Her stick was not fancy and directly hit the Rock Dragon's head.
Hum!
Everyone felt the air vibrate and their ears hurt. The Rock Dragon was knocked to the ground by Sika's stick. Its head was buried in the gravel and it vomited blood. Sika made a beautiful backhand strike, and the stick hit the Rock Dragon's ear horizontally. The Rock Dragon's four-meter-long body flew out.
Zola opened his mouth and his hand stopped in mid-air. He didn't touch the longsword behind him.
Was she still human? The four-meter-long Rock Dragon wasn't the best among the magical beasts, but this thing's carapace contained a lot of metal, and its weight was even more terrifying than some large magical beasts. Sika sent this guy flying with one hit. Even her sword energy couldn't compete with this kind of power.
The others were also stunned. Even Nelis, who was used to Sika's huge strength, had the same expression.
Lifting something that weighed more than ten thousand pounds and sending it flying were two completely different concepts. Sika's attack was also beyond Nelis's ability to bear. But this time, Nelis wasn't depressed. She thought to herself, Anyway, you're no longer Master's bodyguard. No matter how strong you are, you can't take my position.
Salin thought of the huge strength Sika used when she pressed him down and shivered. It seemed that Sika was already unusually gentle at that time!
Shika glanced at the Giant Rock Dragon that was sent flying away and then looked at his own weapon.
The nearly two-meter-long stick was no longer the same as before. The metal part at the front was rich with magic patterns, and the back was much thinner, more suitable for hand grip. Sika used the front part of the stick to attack the Rock Dragon. That part was very exquisite. Sika was worried that the weapon would be damaged. Because in the attack just now, she relied on the power of vibration to directly shatter the brain of the Rock Dragon, and the skull of the Rock Dragon wasn't broken.
What a strong shell!
Not a single trace was left on the azure-gold metal. Only then did Shika relax. This weapon was reforged by the old man Fayern. Shika missed Fayern a lot and did not want to destroy the old man's legacy just because of a simple attack experiment.
Ainphent's mouth twitched as he made some calculations. If that Gaugass Priest truly had the highest ability of a Priest, then his Undead Magic wouldn't have much effect on her. Summoning the undead could hurt Sika, but Sika's combat power was too strong. Even if he summoned the Bone Dragon, it would be smashed by her with a single blow, right?
Shika was still not satisfied. She twisted the end of the club, and the thick metal part in front of the club immediately sprang out sharp spikes, like a small mace.
Wu …
Shika waved his rod and smashed it down in front of another unconscious Giant Crag Dragon. Her target was still the skull of the Giant Crag Dragon. The outer shell of this kind of magical beast was really hard. She wanted to see if the spikes on the stick could break through its defense.
There was no need to use the power of a Priest. After she refined the bones of the magical beasts from the Hell of God's Punishment, she would no longer have to worry about how to distribute power in battle. The power of a Priest was more effective in healing.
Pfft!
The spikes on Shika's rod easily smashed into the skull of the Giant Crag Dragon. Blood and brain matter sprayed out of the skull. Shika retreated, not letting the irritating things spray on her body. The armor she was wearing was personally made by Salin. She could not bear to dirty it.
"Master, could Shika be a descendant of the giants?" Neris couldn't help but ask. She was also very strong, but compared to Shika, she was slightly inferior. She had never seen anything that could compare to Shika's explosive power other than the Tiago Dragon. Perhaps only the legendary giants had such a terrifying physical attack ability.
"Nonsense." Salin scolded, but he felt that Neris's words made sense.
"Salin, this thing is no threat." Shika put away her weapon and walked towards Salin.
"Yes, very good." Salin did not know what to say. Everyone was a little dizzy from Shika's power. Zola even thought sadly, if humans could be so strong, why would they need to cultivate sword energy?
Salin quickly organized his thoughts, then broke the silence and said, "Everyone, don't tell anyone about what happened today. Shika, if it's not necessary, don't do anything in the future. Or, don't let anyone know about your special ability."
The so-called special ability referred to being able to explode with such great power without the help of any sword energy. Anyone who saw Shika would not know that she had such strong fighting power. They would only see her as an ordinary Caucasian warrior. A Caucasian warrior could easily reach the power of a Swordsman, but it would be extremely difficult to become a Sword Saint.
Shika's attack was already at the level of a Sword Saint. Salin considered her relationship with him. There might be some special dangers in the future, such as assassinations. If the enemy did not know about Shika's own strength, she would be much safer.
At that moment, this was the first question that came to Salin's mind.
"I won't say." Ainphent was the first to speak. He also knew about the relationship between Shika and Salin.
"You're the master." Neris shrugged. She did not want to make Salin angry. This kind of thing would be known sooner or later. There was no need to ruin Salin's mood.
"Sir, I won't say anything even if you kill me." Zola recalled Shika's step. It was so fast that if it was him, he would not be able to dodge it. He could only block it with his weapon. But could he block Shika's weapon?
"Alright, everyone take a look and see what else is on this island." Salin signaled Shika to put away her weapon. Neris happily went up to collect the Crag Dragon's body and put it into the dimensional stone. Because of the high metal content of the Crag Dragon's outer shell, it was very difficult to make magic armor. But the body itself was a good material. Moreover, the Crag Dragon was a level five magic beast, so it also had a good magic core.
This time, Ainphent was cautious. He summoned five skeletons to scout ahead. Salin and the others followed behind and circled around the island.
Apart from these Crag Dragons, there really were no dangerous magic beasts on the island. There were many bird nests on the southern cliff. Those seabirds were probably below level three. No matter how strong the magic beasts in the sea were, they would not fly to the sky to threaten them.
On the southern side of the island, Salin saw the Crag Dragon's nest. Near their nest was a red open-air vein.
"Neris, collect some samples. I want to analyze what minerals are here." Salin ordered. Neris immediately went forward and began to collect ore samples nearby. She put them into her bracelet.
Ainphent summoned a few more skeletons to collect ore samples. The Clyde family had a lot of mining business, but the mines were basically in the hands of the royal family and the big nobles. The Clyde family could only rely on their technical advantage to get a small share. The bigger profits were taken by the nobles.
If there was mining value here, Salin could only have the ownership, but not the ability to mine. Ainphent repeatedly calculated. If the scale of this place exceeded a billion pounds, then there was mining value. At least he could hire Salin's ship to send the miners and all kinds of refining machinery over. Excluding the money for hiring the ship and the army, he could still make a profit from the rest.
This place was near the hunting route. As long as Salin maintained the frequency of coming here twice a year, he could have the fleet send supplies and take away the finished metal ingots.
Unfortunately, Salin did not bring a puppet. Under normal circumstances, he should have left a puppet to record the security situation here. The next time he came, he could analyze how many soldiers and mages were needed to ensure that the island was not harassed by magic beasts.
Because the purpose of this trip to the Frozen Sea was mainly to hunt, Salin and Ainphent did not bring mining equipment. To understand the vein, it was not enough to just collect the surface minerals. They had to drill. Fortunately, both of them were mages. By collecting the surface plants and analyzing the elemental composition of the organisms, they could understand the specific material composition of this vein. They could even estimate the number of mines in this area through the calculation of magic formulas.
They might not be able to do this, but there were mages in the Clyde family who specialized in this.
When all kinds of surface minerals and biological samples were almost collected, Salin said, "Neris, take out the dragon skeleton. Everyone can study it here."
"The space of the alchemy ship is too small. After Neris collected the dragon skeleton, Salin did not have a chance to check it."
"Everyone, make way." Neris took the dimensional stone and released the dragon skeleton without waiting for the others to really step back. The dragon skeleton was nearly two hundred meters long, and it was collected with seawater, which almost drained Neris's mental power. But it was not so troublesome to take it out again.
The huge dragon skeleton appeared on the flat ground with seawater. The seawater released from the dimensional stone directly washed away Salin and the others. Fortunately, the people here were quite capable. The seawater flowed to the north. Salin and the others all held up their magic shields and glared at Neris. Neris definitely did it on purpose.
Neris looked back and said to everyone, "This thing is too big. I don't want to control it. The mental power consumed is equivalent to fighting for hours."
Salin was speechless. Indeed, although the dimensional stone could collect huge objects, it consumed much more mental power than the space equipment. The bigger the object, the more mental power consumed. Neris's rough action could reduce the consumption of mental power. It seemed that he had no reason to blame her.
