Backing all the way until he reached a safe distance, Jose extinguished the flames on his body, turned around and flew towards the entrance of the tunnel he came from, and burrowed into the dark and deep tunnel.
The breath of the red dragon disappeared into the distance, and Isaac turned to the blue dragon lying on the ground.
"Get up! Don't play dead!"
False black dragon - Ofelik jumped up from the ground at once, in order to avoid being scolded, he complained with a mournful face: "Great cousin, that red dragon is really bad, thank you for coming, otherwise …”
"Shut up!"
Canglan Zhiya felt angry when he saw "Black Dragon"'s look of disappointment, but quickly suppressed his anger: "You are not to blame for this incident, but my dear nephew, I have to remind you."
Speaking of this, Canglan Zhifang looked serious: "You'd better forget what happened today, and don't hold grudges because of it, otherwise I won't be able to protect you in the future."
"clear!"
Ofelik nodded as if he was pecking at rice: "That guy is just a young dragon, but he is so perverted, I will only hate him if I am stupid!"
"Well, it's good that you understand," Canglan Fang felt a little relieved.
In his own family tree, Ofelik is not strong among his peers, even weak, but he has an advantage that ordinary blue dragons do not have, that is, he can recognize the situation clearly and has certain management skills.
It is precisely because of this that Ofelik got the task of sitting in the rear grain production area.
Canglan Zhifang looked at the direction where the red dragon was going away, with deep eyes, and asked quietly: "Do you still remember the day when the red nest mistress found us?"
Ofelik shuddered, of course he remembered, how dare he forget.
More than a hundred years ago, when he was just a young blue dragon, basking in the sun in the desert where the tribe lived, a red dragon with burning wings suddenly descended, and the flames reflected the sky red.
With deep eyes, Canglan Zhimo muttered to himself: "History is repeating itself, but this time, something is different..."
... ... ...
On the other side, Jose went all the way and came to a remote dark area.
When he came, he needed to fly and travel, but it was much more convenient to go back, because he was already a master-level mage, and he had learned the most anticipated master-level magic - teleportation.
Teleportation, as the name suggests, transports the caster from one place to another across a distance in space. It is very convenient and is a must-learn magic for almost all master-level mages.
However, although teleportation is convenient, it is very risky.
Under normal circumstances, the teleportation technique spans a long distance and is often transmitted beyond the line of sight, which causes the caster to not know what the destination of the teleportation is.
If there is something in the teleportation location, then it will be a tragedy.
Therefore, spellcasters often prepare safe teleportation chambers, which must be very secret to prevent them from being discovered, destroyed or set up traps.
In order to facilitate traveling to and from the Red Nest Crypt, Jose also planned to build a teleportation chamber.
He looked around, looking for a suitable place, and finally chose a natural cave on the edge of the dome in the Underdark.
To clean up the underground bats in the cave, he dug a small secret room in the cave. In order to prevent the discarded stones from attracting the attention of interested people, he put all the excavated stones into a dimensional bag.
Once the entrance camouflages, intruder alarms, traps, and hardening of the room's rock walls are complete, there is only one last step left.
Jose took out a hexahedron crystal, and the silver threads flowed in the slender hexahedron crystal, which looked very strange.
This is a space beacon, which stores the caster's spiritual power, which can guide the direction during the teleportation process and avoid the wrong location of the teleportation.
Insert the space beacon into the matching magic circle, activate it, and the magic circle emits a faint silver light.
So far, the construction of a teleportation secret room has been completed.
Jose breathed a sigh of relief, and after checking everything was correct, he recited the spell.
Dazzling purple magic energy emerges from the void, gathers around the spell-casting red dragon, and gradually solidifies, forming two complicated magic circles, one up and one down, with lines connecting the magic circles, completely enveloping the red dragon. Inside.
The moment the spell ended, the purple light flourished, and the bright light submerged the red dragon's body.
When the light dimmed, the red dragon had disappeared without a trace.
Mordo Peak Forest, Molten Heart.
Jose appeared out of thin air in the teleportation chamber beside the lava lake, glanced at the activated space beacon on the ground, pushed open the door of the room blessed with various warning magic, spread his wings and glides towards the piled up golden mountain obliquely below.
While gliding, he ordered the heads of the major military regions to assemble the army through the family contract, and the family ordered the soldiers.
The news was passed on layer by layer, and the messengers at the end ordered the soldiers to disperse and run towards the military camps scattered throughout the underground kingdom.
Somewhere in the underground space, a towering giant brazier is burning, illuminating the ogre camp below.
In the open space in the ogre camp, in a battle circle composed of hundreds of ogres, two ogres fought with their bare hands, punching to the flesh, making a dull thumping sound, and the surrounding voices were roaring.
woo woo woo~.
The vast horns sounded, and the ogres who were shouting frantically a moment ago suddenly fell silent, as if they had turned into a silent mode.
The next moment, the ogre soldiers who reacted spontaneously formed a formation and trotted all the way to the high platform on the edge of the camp.
Hundreds of meters away from the ogre camp, the same huge underground space, the same huge brazier high above the stone pillars, the fire illuminates the gnoll wolf cavalry camp.
On the side of the camp, around the pit surrounded by wooden fences, the wolf breeders carried large buckets of raw meat, and swayed the meat as they walked, causing the wolves in the pit to scramble together.
Counting the wolves to snatch the food, biting the same piece of meat, a threatening growl came out of their throats.
woo woo woo~.
The blood-stained wolves let go, and raised their heads at the same time. Their green eyes looked in the direction of the sound of the horn. A gnoll wolf cavalry raised his head and blew the horn at the entrance of the crypt.
The warg breeder opened the fence gate, and the pack of wargs that had been crowded at the gate rushed out to meet up with their respective knights.
The soldiers and horses went ahead without moving food and grass, and the logistics officer kept in mind the teachings of the red dragon.
Kacha~.
The bronze key was inserted into the lock hole and twisted lightly, and the lock opened.
The dusty food storage warehouse was pushed away by a pair of powerful hands, and the goblin coolies entered in a line, carried the sacks and walked out.
At the door, a goblin in decent clothes was holding a pen and paper, and the tip of the pen was walking on the paper, recording the detailed delivery data.
While the dependents were busy with the war, the instigator of everything—Jose, pushed open a metal door, and rows of bookshelves full of books came into view.
This is his private library, which stores all kinds of books collected over the years, magic research notes, personal travel notes, and miscellaneous talks.
And the purpose of his coming here is to search for information, to find records about the Heart of the Earth.
Passing through the bookshelves, Jose came to a bookshelf. On the label of the bookshelf was written the four characters "Treasure Miscellaneous Talk" in the common language.
He took out a book from the head of the bookshelf, flipped to the table of contents, glanced at it quickly, put it back on the bookshelf, and took out the second book.
After searching for half an hour, Jose finally found the record about the Heart of the Earth.
This is a record of the inheritance of the dragon written by the sapphire dragon, and the heart of the earth is mentioned in the catalogue.
Turning to the designated page, he saw a short line of records: The heart of the earth, the treasure of the plane, contains the rules of the earth element, and its use is unknown.
"Earth element rules?!"
Jose's spirit was shaken. As far as he knew, the practice above the legend was essentially an understanding of the rules, and the rules themselves were an intangible, invisible, inaudible, and indescribable concept.
But the heart of the earth contains rules, like a container containing rules, which surprised him.
"It seems that I have come into contact with superclass knowledge," Jose muttered to himself. He estimated that the heart of the earth is the advanced knowledge that can only be obtained from the dragon's inheritance after adulthood, or even stepping into the legend.
But how does the Sapphire Dragon know...
Jose continued to scroll forward and saw the source of the records about the Heart of the Earth, his face suddenly revealed. It turned out that the Sapphire Dragon learned these news from the conversation of the elders.
In addition to [Heart of the Earth], there are also [Heart of the Ocean], [Heart of the Storm], and [Heart of Burning Flames]. The four are collectively called [Four Elemental Gems].
etc!
Jose's pupils froze, and he saw a note behind [Scorching Heart]: Savannah is suspected to be the owner of [Scorching Heart].
After flipping through for a while, Jose inserted the book back on the shelf.
The Sapphire Dragon itself has only a half-knowledge of [Four Element Gemstones], not to mention the reprinted records in this book do not even clarify what [Four Element Gemstones] are and how they were formed.
Jose wasn't frustrated either, [Four Elemental Gems] was obviously not a treasure that ordinary dragons could touch.
If you really want to explore the secrets, you must at least have the strength of a legendary dragon, otherwise, even if you get the treasure by luck, it will only bring disaster.
However, Savannah was suspected to be the owner of [Scorching Heart], which made Jose think about it.
"Emmm..., the battle between the demigods, let it be."
Jose shook his head to expel distracting thoughts from his mind, walked out of the library, and walked towards the meeting square. Just now, Ergo sent a report, informing him that the army had assembled.
Walking by the lava lake, passing through the nine-ring spiral staircase, Jose walked out of the passage, and saw the monster army standing silently on the meeting square.
The monster army formed a neat phalanx by race, they were well-equipped and their morale was high.
At the front is the ogre phalanx. These big fat men with an average height of 4.5 meters are wearing matte silver-gray armor, with only their eyes exposed, like iron cans, full of oppression.
The ogre carries a pillar-like spiked mace on its back, and its secondary weapon is a one-handed hammer hanging on its waist.
Of course, the ogre's one-handed hammer is a two-meter-long giant two-handed hammer to humans.
Behind the ogre are the wolf cavalry. These wolf elites are the main force of the light cavalry under the Red Dragon. They are equipped with standard leather armor, and their weapons are stainless steel swords and bows.
These one-in-ten warriors are well-trained and proficient in combat methods such as scouting, cavalry, and ambush. Their fighting style is fearless and full of fighting wisdom.
On the battlefield, being watched by Gnoll Wolf Cavalry is a nightmare.
Behind the Gnoll cavalry is the phalanx of Gnoll infantry, they are the main force of the infantry under the command of the Red Dragon.
In terms of individual strength, the Gnoll soldiers equipped with broadswords and shields are not as good as the first two, but their number is much larger, ten times more than the combined Gnoll cavalry and ogres.
Gnoll infantry maintains the wildness of the Gnoll, with a fierce fighting style, and is also a terrible enemy.
Behind the ogre, the quilboar heavy cavalry, quilboar heavy infantry and gnolls lined up.
These strong men with an average height of 1.8 meters were wearing iron armor and equipped with heavyweight weapons such as maces and meteor hammers.
The wild boars are powerful, thick-skinned, and well-trained. They look like miniature ogres, and their fighting power makes their opponents terrified.
In addition to the above five main combat arms, there are also formed gnoll archer phalanxes, kobold official warrior phalanxes, and special combat phalanxes belonging to [Burning Wings], as well as centaur led by centaur girls. team.
There was no sound at the scene, only the heavy footsteps of the red dragon could be heard.
Under the watchful eyes of the massive army of monsters, Jose walked to the front center of the meeting square and stood still.
Scanning around, he saw that the monster army was full of energy and high morale, and he couldn't help but feel satisfied.
"Warriors!"
Jose spread his wide dragon wings and shouted loudly: "You will fight for me! Fight for honor!"
Under the tribal grading system, the monster army does not need too many words to boost morale at all. They are eager for war, which is not only the nature of monsters, but also driven by interests.
"Come with me!"
After speaking, Jose took the lead and walked towards the western passage, followed by the monster army.
At the same time, the Modo Peak Forest Underground Kingdom is the westernmost.
The area where excavation was originally prohibited was in full swing at this time. The kobold miners waved their picks, one pick after another hit the hard rock, and the rocks cracked.
"Quick! Quick! Quick!" the kobold overseer lashed the air with a whip, urging the miners to speed up.
"Speed up! The tunnel must be dug before the master arrives! Otherwise! We will all be punished!"
When the kobold miners heard this, they swung their pickaxes a little faster, and there was a rapid knocking sound.
On the side, the kobold Faye in charge of excavating the tunnel - Ergou checked the blueprints and cast spells from time to time to make sure the direction of excavation was correct.
Naturally, this tunnel was not dug casually.
After digging through the dark area where the steelbeard gray dwarves were located, Jose obtained the information of the surrounding dark area from the Dragon Cult, and sent people to further explore the direction of the Red Nest Crypt until they reached the location of Dark Moon City. Location.
Darkmoon City is an ally of the black dragon O'Neill, and it is also on the way from Mordor Peak Forest to Red Nest Crypt.
Jose knew that there would be a battle between himself and Darkmoon City sooner or later, so he made an attack plan in advance.
It is unrealistic to directly get through the dark area where Darkmoon City is located, the distance is far away, but the drow elves may hear the sound of digging in advance, so Jose chose a transfer station.
The transfer station is a medium-sized underdark area outside the sphere of influence of Darkmoon City. The land in this underdark area is barren, there are no intelligent creatures living in it, and it is connected to the Darkmoon City site.
when!
At the edge of the excavation site, a kobold miner slammed down with a pickaxe, and a large rock cracked, revealing a huge cavity behind the rock.
The wind blows in.
Thanks to xiaotang246 for the reward of 100 coins, thanks to Mao Cangan for the reward of 100 coins, and thanks to Yayla for the reward of 100 coins.
