Chapter 133: Dragon Nest, Volcano
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After unlocking the Dragonblood skills of the Dragonblood Murlocs and Benbo, the fog behind the talent tree cleared a bit, revealing the second node of this path.
It showed that they would need to consume more Dragonblood crystals to further enhance the Dragonblood concentration in their bodies and increase the strength of their Dragon Power skills.
This made Ji Chen feel a little restless, thinking about where to find a giant dragon to trade with.
Dragons were inherently greedy, but he happened to have a massive amount of gold coins, a fortune that would make even the giant dragon tempted.
You bleed, I pay, its fair.
But in order to achieve such a transaction, he still had to continue to improve his strength.
Otherwise, according to the greed of dragons and their innate nature, the dragons wouldn’t even consider trading if they found their opponents too weak.
Ji Chen could predict that the dragon would simply breathe fire at them and easily eliminate them before taking the gold coins.
And if he had enough strength, he wouldn’t mind being a dragon slayer… after all, he would obtain more Dragonblood through slaying dragons.
Ji Chen and his group approached the lake once again, but this time no monsters jumped out. He extended his hand and condensed a “water path” on the surface of the lake, and the group crossed it smoothly.
They arrived at the enormous cave.
By using the Crown of Omniscience, they could see that there were no monsters or animals inside, not even the creatures that had invaded this place later.
Even though the giant dragon had already left, its smell and traces still intimidated other creatures.
So far, Ji Chen hadn’t encountered any monsters that could evade the detection of the Crown of Omniscience, so he entered the cave feeling quite at ease.
After a brief darkness, the scene suddenly brightened before him.
Compared to the entrance of the cave, the interior was more spacious, several hundred meters long and wide, and dozens of meters high.
It wasn’t pitch black inside; there were numerous luminous plants growing on the ground, rock walls, and the top of the cave. The azure light illuminated the entire cave as if it were daylight, giving it a touch of mystery.
The ground seemed to have been deliberately maintained, appearing quite flat and orderly. He could even play football on it without any problem.
In the center was a large stone platform, which seemed to be where the giant dragon slept.
In the soil around the stone platform, faint traces could be seen. In one corner, there was a pile of skeletons as tall as a mountain, presumably creatures that the giant dragon had captured for its meal.
For some unknown reason, it was quite cold outside the cave several hundred meters up, but inside the cave, it was warm like spring, as if there was a constantly burning hearth.
Ji Chen didn’t think much about it; he just marveled at how the giant dragon found such a lair.
Looking at the bare cave, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
He saw that before leaving this place, the giant dragon had already moved most of its treasures.
Only some leftovers were buried in the soil.
But it was slightly better than nothing. Perhaps that dragon overlooked something good and left it behind?
“Half of the Naga warriors will guard the entrance of the cave to prevent any targets from approaching. The rest will spread out and search for anything valuable.”
Upon hearing this, the Naga warrior who was pointed at by Ji Chen immediately turned and left, returning to the entrance to be on guard.
The others scattered and began searching in various places.
With bone blades, tridents, and other tools in their hands, they pried up the surface soil, swept away the luminescent plants, and looked for anything buried underneath.
The cave immediately turned into a construction site, with pits and holes everywhere from the digging.
With each dig, they did manage to find quite a few things.
Scattered gold and silver coins, human bones chewed to pieces, broken weapons, and armor…
It seemed that there had been many dragon slayers who were crushed by the giant dragon.
“Sir, I found a dragon scale!” Anina, who had joined the excavation army with great interest, suddenly picked up a palm-sized scale and excitedly exclaimed.
Ji Chen quickly walked over and took it from her.
He examined it closely in his hand.
[Shed Dragon Scale]
[Level]: 3-star treasure
[Usage]: Can be used as a material for forging weapons and armor
The sight of the shed dragon scale left Ji Chen in awe. Even a single scale was considered a 3-star treasure, confirming the rumors that the giant dragon’s entire body was a treasure trove.
One after another, the army also discovered many things.
A small number of dragon scales, muddy Dragonblood mixed with soil, dragon feces, but no treasures like dragon claws or Dragonblood crystals were found.
This made him sigh again.
The place had been completely stripped clean; not a single intact item was left behind.
An hour later.
Looking at the scattered bones, broken weapons and armor, and piles of enormous excrement, but only a few dozen dragon scales and a hundred or so gold and silver coins as the harvest, Ji Chen completely lost patience.
He ordered the pure water sea pixies to shoot water arrows into the ground.
The forcefully shot water arrows deeply penetrated the ground and exploded, sending the soft soil flying into the air, accompanied by falling excrement and bone fragments.
With such a violent excavation method, the nearby soil was quickly plowed, reducing the height by half a meter.
Another round of water arrows exploded.
But this time, something intact was blown out.
A piece of a door panel, no, a giant sword resembling a door panel.
The giant sword had suffered damage, with two-thirds of its blade shattered and the tip nowhere to be found.
He ordered the bombardment to stop, walked over, and tried to pick up the giant sword.
However, the weight of the sword far exceeded his imagination, as if he were trying to move a boulder—it didn’t budge..
