Sego Village.
The travel-stained group stopped on a high slope.
The wind and sand lifted up the black cloak behind Lothar's back, and the double-headed eagle flag in the hand of the hussar fluttered in the wind.
Lothar raised his whip and pointed into the distance: "The mine should be down there. Knight Jeanne, please lead someone to lead the horse aside to avoid being frightened and separated."
"Prajna, Fulin, the three of us will walk down."
The ruins of the mine are littered with broken sleepers and gravel.
The remains of the human body were taken away by their relatives, and the blood stains were buried by the wind and sand. It seemed that there was no obvious difference between this place and the common ruins in the desert.
Fringilla recalled Witch Anna's introduction: "Earth-walking dragons prefer to eat high-quality iron ore rather than humans. If no one disturbs them, they can always live underground."
Lothar nodded and said: "According to Mallus, this dragon can travel freely underground. With this ability, it is not easy to catch it."
"We most likely only have one chance. The Earthly Dragon can escape underground, and it is also very vindictive. If it survives being injured, it will definitely wreak havoc in its territory."
"Fulin, I remember that in blood magic, restraint formations are a big subject. With your current level, you should be able to use them, right?"
Fringilla nodded: "It's okay to use it, but in the battle, I may not be able to help much."
"Then I'll leave it to you. Do you need any casting materials?"
"I need the blood of an animal, fresh enough, and someone to help me set up the formation."
"No problem, I will ask the hussar to go to Sego Village to buy a live sheep. Its health should be enough, right?"
Fringilla made a "no problem" gesture.
"Next, just wait for your formation to be completed."
This wait lasted for half an afternoon.
By sunset, the criss-crossing sheep's blood had formed a six-pointed star formation in this desert.
Fringilla let out a long breath: "The size of the magic circle is just right. Once it steps in, I can guarantee that it will not be able to escape within a quarter of an hour, but every time it hits, the damage to the magic circle is also great. So, try to resolve the battle as quickly as possible.”
Jeanne waved the holy spear, her face full of confidence: "I think you are still too cautious. With this holy spear in my hand, as long as it dares to show up, I can easily deal with it."
"None of us have really seen the dragons in this world. All the information was obtained indirectly from Witch Anna. We can't be cautious."
"let's start!"
Lothar shouted.
A hussar stood on a high slope and blew a melodious horn.
The dull sound never stopped for a long time.
But there was no movement from underground.
It seems that the horn horn sound, which is obviously insufficient in penetrating power, cannot penetrate deep into the ground and awaken the dragon beast hidden in it.
"It seems that it is not easy to wake up this earthly dragon."
Lothar waved his hand to signal the hussars to stop, and ordered the other hussars to work together to push down a huge boulder on the top of the mountain.
boom--
Accompanied by a loud noise.
The boulder rolled in mid-air, hit the cliff, bounced up, and then fell again.
Like bursts of thunder.
The ground beneath my feet was shaking.
next moment.
A dull roar came from the deep mine.
The messy sharp horns like a tree crown protruded from the bottom of the mine along with the lizard-like head.
It was definitely a huge head that was at least the size of a tabletop. When its golden eyes moved, they would leave a golden stream of light in mid-air.
The fangs that are sharp but chaotically grown are rich in rust color.
As it gradually crawled out from under the mine, its huge body could be seen in full view - it was indeed more than ten meters long. Compared with a monitor lizard, its head was smaller and its neck was longer. It looks a bit slender, and it is covered with fine iron-colored crystals.
Its triangular jet-black scales are densely covered on its body.
After seeing the humans who disturbed its sleep, its golden eyes were filled with rage.
It raised its slender neck, opened its huge mouth, and then let out a roar that shook hundreds of miles.
Lothar shouted: "This is an adult earth dragon. In addition to being unable to breathe dragon breath or fly, in terms of physical combat ability alone, it can easily tear apart a manticore or a mountain giant."
"I found one of its scales growing upside down - that should be the legendary reverse scale, the place where dragons have the strongest defense. Below it is its heart."
Jeanne asked in confusion: "Where?"
Her eyes were fixed on the furious charging Earth Dragon, with no intention of dodging.
Seeing it, the giant dragon's feet were raised high, and the next moment it was about to trample Jeana into a pulp.
A figure that was extremely small compared to the giant dragon suddenly stood in front of Jeanne. She raised the black shield in her hand high, the expression on her face was still dull.
But on the shield, the black ghost face had begun to curse silently.
The next moment, the pitch-black triangular shield suddenly expanded, covering a ten-meter radius above Jeanna's head.
The Earthly Dragon landed, but was stuck in the middle, unable to go any further.
"Ha, finally found it!"
Jeanne retreated quickly, her silver-white knight armor flashing with golden lines as she ran, as if molten fluid was flowing in it.
She raised the holy spear in her hand high, as if she was holding a ball of flowing golden holy flames.
"Holy!"
For the first time, Jeanne's face showed an expression as sacred and inviolable as that of a high-ranking goddess.
She chanted scriptures in a low voice.
Subsequently.
The holy spear was released.
In the night sky, it seemed to have turned into a blazing meteor.
There was a trace of human panic on the Earthly Dragon's face. It raised its forelimbs, ripples appeared on them, and then stepped down hard.
It is trying to use its talent to travel through the ground to sink into the ground.
But a bloody seal rose instantly, causing the ripples under its feet to be instantly dispersed, turning into a solid foot on the ground.
Seeing that there was no way to escape, the Earthly Dragon could only dodge to one side in a hurry.
But after Jeanna locked the scales on the chest of the earth-walking dragon with her own eyes, the holy spear, which had the characteristic of being a sure hit, could no longer dodge.
Keng——
The golden holy spear penetrated the strongest inverse scales on the Earthly Dragon's body.
It let out a wail of pain, and used its claws to tear off the Holy Spear from its chest, but the next moment, another figure as small as an insect appeared under it.
Open your hand, and the blood gathers into a spear.
Lothar took a step back and punched his whole body.
A spear thrown hard.
The place he aimed at was still the pierced chest scales of the Earthly Dragon.
This time, the Blood Throwing Spear penetrated directly into it without even the handle being exposed - this time, it seemed that it really hit the heart.
The blood splattered from its chest surged like a waterfall.
Lothar stood there without any intention of evading.
He opened his hands and the dragon's blood fell like a shower.
It hurts and is hot.
It was as if the whole person was being burned in the flames.
Prajna moved slightly, then stopped. She stopped Fringilla who was also trying to rush over. She shook her head and said, "Don't forget that you are a dragonborn."
In the darkness, Lothar's eyes shone with golden light.
A violent, crazy, evil thought that seemed to tear everyone to pieces kept emerging from the bottom of his heart.
You have completed the milestone - the act of slaying the dragon.
The dragon blood in your body absorbs the essence of dragon creatures in this world, and your awakening level is slightly increased. Your strength, stamina, and endurance are all increased by three points.
You have gained a new skill: Iron Body: an ability derived from the bloodline of the earth-walking dragon that eats iron ore. When you use this skill, your defense will be greatly improved.
Please continue to work hard and slay more types of dragons to increase the awakening of the Dragonborn bloodline.
boom--
The huge dragon body fell to the ground slumped.
The pair of golden eyes, like a pair of car headlights, also went out.
Lothar stood there, the dragon's blood on his body gradually drying up over time.
It seemed to be vaporized, and when you rubbed it with your hands, large pieces of red rust fell off.
He was breathing heavily and felt his heart beating hard in his chest.
There is nothing noble about the bloodline of the Earthly Dragon, nor is it a great supplement. The dragonborn just grabbed the beneficial gene fragments, analyzed it, and then threw it aside.
What really placed a heavy burden on him was the further awakening of the Dragonborn bloodline, which caused the ancient dragon's instinctive will to be violent and destructive to emerge again.
Fortunately, Lothar had the upper hand in this fight.
Jeanne walked over slowly and said from a distance: "My lord, do you want me to give you a sap to keep your brain awake?"
Lothar shook his head: "No need, I have no problem."
"Jean, I seem to know what my family motto should be called."
Jeanne responded loudly: "What are you talking about? Please speak louder, I can't hear you clearly."
Lothar laughed in anger. He collapsed on the ground and shouted: "I said, my family's motto is very simple, that is - bathe in dragon's blood."
"good!"
Jeanne stretched out a thumb and came to help Lothar.
"Order someone to cut off the head of this earth-moving dragon. I will take it back to Hebron and tan it into a specimen that will be placed in the lord's hall. I will peel off the remaining part of the dragon skin and give it to Mallus to see if I can make it. Jackie Chan scale leather armor.”
"Where's the flesh and bones?"
"Nature has its place."
As early as when he killed the earth dragon, Lothar had already thought about how to deal with its flesh and bones.
He leaned down, and an emerald green sapling slowly appeared.
Its roots couldn't wait to reach into the deep pool formed by the dragon's blood. The roots swelled and shrank like life. In the blink of an eye, only a shallow bottom was left in the deep pool formed by the dragon's blood.
"With this dragon corpse, the maturity period of the Tree of Life will be greatly shortened. However, the location of my original plan to build the city will be changed."
Plans always fail to keep up with changes.
To transport this dragon corpse to a specific location, the dragon's blood would have already flowed out.
But it doesn't matter. Sego Village is originally a transit village far away from Hebron and Yogurtsburg, and its location is very important.
In addition, there is a desert nearby, and the villagers of Sego Village can only rely on grazing to make a living. Planting the Tree of Life here is not a loss.
