Ouch!
A miserable groan came from the depths of the cave.
The young red dragon was squeezed in the middle and had no room to escape. He was probably hit by the strong acid dragon breath.
I don't know whether he was severely injured by the acid dragon's breath, or whether the young red dragon had no strength to fight back. There was no new movement coming from inside.
Even if the young red copper dragon brewed up another mouthful of strong acid dragon breath and sprayed it in, it no longer even groaned, as if the young red dragon had completely erect its corpse.
"Is he already dead?" The young dragon began to poke his head at the entrance of the cave, as if he wanted to peek inside.
"Seal it." Gavin still had no intention of opening it and looking. Instead, he asked the two kobolds to seal the hole where the flame dragon breath had just melted. No matter whether it was dead or not, he would wait for a day and a half.
Even if the young red dragon is not dead, he will definitely not be able to escape if he is seriously injured.
The longer it takes, the better it will be for them.
Gavin and the others are here, guarding them all day and night.
During this period, several more movements were heard from the rocks, but each time was smaller than the last. At least, the flame dragon's breath did not appear again.
Of course, Gavin and the others are not staying here, but are rearranging the battlefield. A large number of flutter bombs are working overtime to make them, transport them here, and bury them on the top of the cliff. If necessary, they will create a second bomb. A landslide completely buried the young red dragon.
One hundred Oeds led by the goblin warlock Vic, the half-ogre, the dog demon and Buck also took up their positions one after another.
After being fully prepared, five kobold miners carried kobold mining picks and excavated carefully.
The situation at the excavation site is a bit like an archaeological site, lest the contents be damaged.
They were afraid of digging too hard all at once, and the young red dragon was completely out of trouble and suddenly jumped out.
Although the excavation speed is not fast, the most important thing is safety.
They only cleared the surrounding gravel and left the huge boulders untouched.
The young dragon yawned a little bored and said: "At this speed, how long do we have to clean up? Why don't you just detonate all the flutter bombs above, create a larger landslide, and completely bury this place, and we'll have a good time If I come back in a year or so, I guarantee that by then, Roderick will have starved to death."
"no."
Before Gavin could answer, Zach, Susie and Buck all the kobolds rejected the proposal in unison.
"I'm sorry, Lord Ivinsa."
"I'm sorry, Lord Iwensa, we are not questioning your decision."
Only then did the kobolds remember that they were facing a giant dragon, and they all apologized hurriedly.
"Is Roderick's body useful to you?" The young dragon was young and not stupid. He immediately noticed that there was something wrong with the attitude of these kobolds.
"this……"
"that……"
All the kobolds looked hesitant and evasive when faced with the young dragon's question. They looked at Gavin for help, wondering whether they should answer this question.
After all, the other party is also a giant dragon, and what they did is, to say the least, desecrating the dragon corpse. Who knows what the other party's attitude is.
Gavin knew this and it was impossible to hide this from the young copper dragon, so he told the truth directly: "Have you ever heard of the Dragon Blood Strengthening Ceremony?"
"Dragon blood strengthening ceremony? No." Iwensa shook his head, his eyes wandered around the kobolds, and said thoughtfully, "The dragon blood strengthening ceremony you mentioned is not related to these kobolds, right? Use Rodri Ke’s blood essence to strengthen them?”
Gavin nodded and said: "Yes, kobolds and dragons have a common heritage, but the magic power of dragon blood in their bodies is too thin. If the dragon blood essence of a real dragon can be channeled, it might be able to strengthen their The bloodline allows them to gain more powerful energy. Because I was not sure whether I could capture this young red dragon, I never discussed this matter with you."
Although they both belong to the dragon clan, they are due to their faith and natural alignment.
Metal dragons and colorful dragons have always been at odds with each other.
According to legend, the Nine-faced Dragon God Io was killed by the Aragami during the war with the Aragami and split into two.
The good side gave birth to Bahamut, the King of Good Dragons, the Platinum Dragon, and the Lord of the North Wind.
The evil side gave birth to Tiamat, the evil five-headed dragon queen.
Bahamut used the remaining essence of the Nine-Faced Dragon God, the good side, and combined it with the properties of various metals to create the good dragons. Because their dragon scales sparkle with metallic luster, they are also called metal dragons. They are typical representatives. They are the gold dragon, the silver dragon, the copper dragon, the bronze dragon and the brass dragon.
Out of jealousy, the Evil Dragon Queen used the evil and violent essence of the Nine-Faced Dragon God and combined various elements to create greedy and evil dragons. Because of the typical colors on their bodies, they are also called colorful dragons. Typical representatives are red dragons, blue dragons, white dragons, black dragons and green dragons.
Of course, this is only the origin of dragons that is relatively popular among humans.
In fact, there are metal dragon versions of myths and legends on the metal dragon side, and there are chromatic dragon versions on the chromatic dragon side.
Both versions extremely praise oneself and belittle the other.
However, there is an eternal war between the metal dragons headed by Bahamut and the chromatic dragons headed by Tiamat. In the continent of Faerun, they have fought each other more than once or twice, even in the face of giant challenges and elven creations. During the resistance of Long Kuang Mi Suo, the two never joined forces.
The war between the two dragon races is collectively called the Dragonfall War.
Neither side recognizes the other as a species at all.
"What else is there to say? How to carry out this dragon blood strengthening ceremony?" Iwensa did not show any dissatisfaction with Gavin and the others about the idea of taking the body of a young red dragon. On the contrary, the matter of strengthening the kobolds was even more interested.
Gavin, who knew the reason, breathed a sigh of relief.
Those kobolds who knew little about the origin of the dragon looked incredulous.
Although kobolds don't attach much importance to their bodies, they wouldn't be particularly comfortable if other races used them at will.
How come you don't take it seriously when you get to Master Iwensa?
Behind the questions, there is more secret joy.
If the young copper dragon didn't care about this matter, nothing would be an obstacle.
"Susie, you are a professional in this regard. Please explain it to Master Iwensa." Gavin also had little knowledge of this matter.
"this……"
Although it was not the first time for Susie to face Ivinsa directly, she still felt a lot of pressure when she stared at her. After a while, she adjusted her mentality and said: "Actually, I also know about this matter from the tribe's inheritance. I just heard that I have said that I have never seen it, let alone actually operated it, because the dragon blood potion required for the dragon blood strengthening ceremony requires the blood of a true dragon to be prepared, and I am not sure whether I can prepare the dragon blood potion."
"So that's it." Iwensa said with regret, "When you prepare the dragon blood potion, be sure to call me. I would like to see how a vicious guy like Roderick can make a dragon. What does the blood potion look like? Is it also black?"
"Definitely, definitely, definitely." The only thing Susie could do was nod her head in assurance.
"I dug it... I dug it... I'm still alive, it seems I'm still alive..."
From the other side came the kobolds, screaming in excitement.
"Get down, get down first." Gavin hurriedly pulled down the kobold miners who were digging.
In the cleared stone pit, a thick dragon leg was exposed.
The appearance was very miserable. Judging from the twisted appearance, there were at least three fractures, and not a single dragon claw was missing.
Occasional twitching shows that the owner of the dragon's legs is still alive.
"Since it's a dragon blood potion, the dragon blood just taken out must be the best, right." Gavin turned to ask Susie.
"This is natural." Susie nodded.
Seeing that the young red dragon was pressed very hard and there was no possibility of breaking free, Gavin decided to slightly adjust the plan. "What materials are needed to make the dragon blood potion? Make a list for me immediately, and I will let them start preparations."
Susie was stunned and said with a look of disbelief: "Master Chief, you don't want to prepare the dragon blood potion here, do you?"
"Is there anything wrong?" Gavin said matter-of-factly, "Since he has been trapped by us, we must fully squeeze out the maximum value from him. How can the blood squeezed from a corpse be obtained from a corpse?" How much can be extracted from a living dragon?"
"It seems to be true." Susie no longer hesitated and hurriedly made a list of the tools and various herbs needed.
The core of dragon blood potion is dragon blood, and other medicinal herbs and minerals are auxiliary. They are very common street goods and are not difficult to collect.
With a group of Erds led by Buck helping with the airlift, it was very simple. It didn't take half a day to build a simple alchemy laboratory not far from where the young red dragon was buried.
On the contrary, it took longer to transfer the young priest Anna over.
Of course, the girl priest was sent here to cast healing spells on the young red dragon.
Although Anna's healing spells have side effects, most of the time, the healing effects are still effective, especially for the young red dragon. This kind of vitality is tenacious. It only needs to keep him alive. It is better to use it. Girl Priest No need to take any pressure.
After taking care of things here, Gavin led a small team of Erd and followed Awensa to kill the young red dragon's nest.
Gavin had previously shown little interest in the treasures in the Half-Ogre's Lair and the Harpy's Lair. It wasn't that he didn't love money. On the contrary, it was because his eye sockets were relatively high.
Ordinary magic items cannot be detected by him, let alone those tattered ones.
Even the harpy's lair has a pitifully low gold content.
After all, this place is deep into the rocky ground, and the people that the harpy can rob are either kobolds or goblins, and their forging skills are average.
Even adventurers cannot go all the way to defeat a group of harpies.
Among the trophies plundered from the Harpy's lair, apart from a valuable spear, the most valuable items left were the eight unhatched Harpy eggs.
Compared to the harpy, the gold content of a young red dragon's nest is much greater. Even Gavin has high expectations for it.
With Ivinsa, a familiar local snake, it is not difficult to find the young red dragon's nest.
Facing the temptation of the dragon's nest, the young dragon, who had great potential as a female businessman, was a rare act of generosity. She became Gavin's mount and took him straight to the dragon's nest.
But instead of letting Gavin ride on her back, Gavin pulled her front limbs.
Naturally, there are various traps in the young red dragon's nest, which brought some trouble to Gavin, but that's all.
After all, the owner of this dragon's nest has been taken care of by them. There is no need to worry about the return of the original owner. Gavin and the others have enough time to explore all the traps bit by bit.
Limited by the master's ability, the various traps in the young red dragon's lair are mostly physical traps, supplemented by magic traps, which are relatively simple to break.
The young red dragon's nest was built on the basis of an abandoned dwarf castle. It was small in scale and many traces were still fresh, no more than five years old.
Once you enter the treasure house.
What catches the eye is always a mixed pile of gold and silver coins.
This is the eternal theme of the Dragon's Lair.
All dragons like to build their nests on piles of gold coins, without exception.
They like to sleep on piles of gold and silver coins, and like the sound and feeling of them rubbing against dragon scales.
As for whether they think such a bed is too hard and whether they will hiccup when sleeping, if you wear a suit of thick scale armor and lie down among a pile of gold coins to sleep for a while, you will know that not only does it not hiccup, but it even presses Very comfortable.
Seeing the pile of gold and silver coins, Awensa's eyes turned into the shape of gold coins, and he rushed up at a trot.
"Be careful there's a trap up there." Gavin shouted hurriedly.
You are a genius, remember in one second: Red Oasis:
