Dragon's lairs do exist. This is not only found in records or the songs of bards. There are abandoned dragon's lairs on all continents, and there are many people who visit abandoned dragon's lairs all year round. Some even become scenic spots. Depending on the time dragons inhabit, the scale of dragon's lairs varies.
Few people know that all the exposed dragon's lairs are only those of giant dragons, and more often those of young giant dragons.
The dragon's lairs of the six sacred dragons have never truly been exposed to humans. Rumor has it that the dragon's lairs of the six sacred dragons are passed down through generations, and there are always lower-level dragons of the same element guarding near the lairs.
The figure of the green dragon instantly turned into green specks as if it were about to disappear into the vast sky. But just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the green specks quickly grew larger and split into two - it turned out that another giant dragon had also joined the battle.
The force of diving from above is so huge. The huge dragon wings flap the air vigorously once, then immediately fold tightly on both sides of the dragon to pursue greater acceleration, and then flap the air again.
In front of one dragon, ice blades continuously materialize, sweeping towards Lei Ge like a rain of knives falling from the sky. The other dragon oozes red blood. High-temperature fireballs are ejected like a barrage, and the fire spirit summoned and attached to the fireballs emits a joyful laugh.
The wind phantom dragon floating in the air is almost destroyed by the baptism of fire and ice in an instant.
Almost without any pause, ice and fire rapidly penetrate the illusory body of the wind phantom dragon and surge towards Lei Ge with overwhelming force.
With Lei Ge as the center, the sea of fire and the forest of ice all collide with the absolute shield and immediately rebound in all directions - at that moment, the white ice blades and red flames are intertwined like a tall wall.
Although the absolute shield can defend against first and second-level magics, it cannot offset the huge continuous impact that follows. Lei Ge is forced to retreat step by step.
"Spirits of darkness, I command you to become my shield with your spiritual bodies." There was no other way. Lei Ge had to once again draw on the power of dark magic and form a huge dark shield in front of himself. This is a rare defensive spell in dark magic. It uses the gathering of energy to create a dark shield. The efficiency of this spell is far superior to that of ordinary magic shields. Moreover, since this dark force field also has the function of absorbing impacts, even if it is hit, it can absorb damage. The only drawback is that its durability is relatively poor.
With the help of the dark shield, the ice blades and flames are quickly absorbed and disappear.
Among the not yet completely dissipated ice and flames, the shadow of the green dragon suddenly appears. The long giant claws, like lightning, tear through the curtain of fire and ice and pierce into the absolute shield.
Dragons are undoubtedly extremely intelligent animals.
When they find that the enemy in front of them can easily break magic and can cast high-level magic, they quickly change their strategy. They continuously attack the mage with rapidly generated small magics, oppressing him so that he does not have enough time to summon big magics. Then they use physical attacks to directly break through the absolute shield that only defends against magic.
It seems that they have succeeded.
Even the dark shield cannot defend against the dragon's claw attacks.
For dragons, magic attacks are more for attacking groups of enemies. When facing a powerful opponent, sharp teeth, huge powerful wings, and long dragon tails are all unimaginably powerful offensive weapons.
Especially the sharp dragon claws on the front limbs of dragons. The dragon claws of adult dragons, including nails, are up to one meter long and can easily cut through the skin of giant elephants and rhinos. Even the oak giant shields in the hands of heavy infantry will be torn like pieces of paper.
The rapidly approaching shadow of the dragon, along with the shadow of death, storms towards the old mage.
The dragon claws, boosted by flight, pierce through the absolute shield like spears. The dark shield only blocks for a moment. With the whistling wind, the dragon claws penetrate again.
Silver light flashes. A huge silver steel shield collides solidly with the dragon claws. "Um," a muffled groan. Chi Hanfeng and Xiaobai are pushed back a step by the huge impact. The shiny knight's lance, like a cunning poisonous snake, stealthily protrudes from under the shield and directly lunges at the abdomen of the injured dragon.
As a high-level knight, Chi Hanfeng deeply knows that mages should stand behind warriors and release their magics. So he has always been prepared to intervene in the war at any time. But he did not expect the dragon's attack to be so swift and sharp. Even with the speed of a snow phantom beast, he only blocked the dragon's attack at the critical moment.
If it were a little later, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Under inertia, the huge body of the green dragon, unable to dodge in time, heavily collides with the shield. The dragon struggles to turn its body to avoid the lance. The lance directly pierces the dragon's left wing.
"Si - Ou -" The giant dragon emits a long mournful cry. Flapping its wings, it wants to rush into the sky again. But just after rising a few meters, it twists and falls heavily on the snow-covered slope, scattering a large amount of snow.
"Randa, the dark dragon. In the name of darkness, I summon you." The 惊魂未定的 old mage starts his chanting again.
"Ou - Ya -" Feeling the powerful strength of the two people in front and the surging magic power again, the other giant dragon gives up the attack. Flying over the injured dragon, it grabs the dragon's spine with its powerful claws. With a long cry, the huge figure circles around the mountain ridge and disappears.
"Ha, as soon as the great knight makes a move, two little dragons are immediately driven away." Holding the lance straight up to the sky, retracting the shield and protecting his chest, Chi Hanfeng strikes an exaggerated pose, freezes for 20 seconds, and asks proudly, "How is it? Isn't it handsome?"
"Handsome? Handsome to death." Already used to this exaggerated tone, Amy helplessly cooperates.
Chi Hanfeng puts his hand on Lei Ge's shoulder and hugs Lei Ge, crying softly, "Lei Ge, you can't die. You can't die. If you leave like this, how can I face my old man, my old man's old man, my old man's old man's old man..." The voice stops abruptly.
"Very handsome, right? Okay, hold this pose for two hours." Lei Ge calls the two kids and himself to walk up the mountain.
Xiaobai, carrying the petrified Chi Hanfeng, follows behind. The low branches and the cliffs jutting out obliquely continuously hit Chi Hanfeng, who cannot move at all, adding one small bloodstain after another to his extremely handsome pose.
At night, after the two children fall asleep, Chi Hanfeng pats Lei Ge on the shoulder and signals to go out and talk. The two tiptoe away from the campfire.
"Well, Lei Ge, why didn't you use your most powerful level 5 ice and snow magic, Ice and Snow Mad Dragon, during the day?"
"Hmm... Green dragons are of the ice and snow element. Ice and Snow Mad Dragon has very little effect on it." Lei Ge seems to sense something and answers without his usual teasing tone.
"I remember Randa, the dark dragon, is the ultimate magic of the dark element, right?"
"Yes."
"You are a neutral mage. How can you cast the ultimate magic of the dark element?" Chi Hanfeng cuts straight to the point.
"... Silence for a long time. Lei Ge looks directly into Chi Hanfeng's eyes."There are some things I can't tell you yet. Please forgive me." After saying that, he goes back to the campfire and lies down to sleep.
That night, neither Lei Ge nor Chi Hanfeng slept well - they kept tossing and turning.
The terrain gets higher and higher, and the snow underground gets thicker and thicker. There is no road anymore. The wind howls and blows. If people don't hold on to branches and tree trunks tightly, they will almost be blown up by the wind.
After crossing a small mountain ridge, the view suddenly opens up. A large, empty circular clearing with a diameter of at least 1000 meters appears. In the middle of the clearing, there is a huge rock. On the south side of the rock, there is a dark cave entrance. White mist slowly rises from the cave.
Seeing this black hole, Green immediately jumps up, stumbles and crawls towards it. Afraid that it might fall and get hurt, Daqingshan also runs after it.
The cave is not dark. Every 20 meters, there is a wizard's fire floating in the air. The slowly floating magic flame flickers with a cold light.
During the progress, ice men with blue light emitting from their bodies continuously jump out. After seeing Green, they all disappear behind the wall one by one.
The terrain gets lower and lower, but it is not damp. Perhaps due to being deep underground, the air gradually warms up. Suddenly, everyone's eyes are dazzled. A huge cave appears in front of them.
If one is not inside it, it is simply impossible to imagine its magnificent scale.
The ceiling of the cave is covered with colorful giant stalactites hanging down. The longest ones are more than 10 meters long. The tips of the stalactites sparkle with small lightning. The nearby stalactite lightning forms a larger power grid. The four walls are covered with white fish-scale-shaped crystals, reflecting dazzling light. In the middle of the cave stands a high platform. The platform is glittering with gold. Countless agates, diamonds, and gold coins are piled up like a mountain.
Green jumps and climbs onto the high platform but finds nothing. He looks very disappointed.
But soon Green is no longer disappointed. Instead, he plunges headlong into the pile of gold and jewels and happily rolls around on it. At this moment, the entire dragon's lair suddenly shakes.
The lightning on the stalactites suddenly surges and spreads down like a waterfall. A huge green dragon reveals its illusory body in the power grid. "Taemu Gelusai, you have finally come." Its body is more than five times the size of the two dragons just now.
This voice is clearly the one heard in the canyon.
"My child, this is our last meeting. The Dragon God is summoning me. Everything here will be inherited by you. For a long time, I have sealed your magic. Now - Dragon God Parrot, release all the power of your people."
Countless lightning bolts gather from all directions and shoot towards Green. In the lightning, Green undergoes a huge change. Gradually, tender small horns grow on his head. A pair of small fangs appear on his back. They grow larger and turn into a pair of small fleshy wings. Green shows a painful expression and opens his mouth and "puff" spits out a long flame.
"Goodbye, my child." The lightning gets smaller and smaller, and the figure of the huge dragon gradually disappears.
Some people present finally feel a sense of relief. "Wow," Chi Hanfeng and Lei Ge both rush towards the treasure. Chi Hanfeng crazily picks up a large handful of gold coins. "We're rich. We're extremely rich. Haha. When I left home at the beginning, I didn't take any money. The hard days these years can finally be over." Lei Ge opens one small box after another to see what's inside. If he doesn't like it, he immediately opens the next one. If there's something good, he immediately puts it into his arms.
"Whoosh." A ball of flame spits out from Green's mouth. Obviously, the master is not very polite.
"Ah oh." Chi Hanfeng very embarrassedly puts down the bag he was about to put the coins in. Then he looks at Green with kind eyes. "You don't want me to take it? Then you say so. If you don't say it, how would I know? You casually spit fire like this. Look, if you accidentally melt the gold, wouldn't it be very bad?"
As he speaks, he grabs a large handful of gold coins. "Daqingshan needs to study with me. Are you going?" Green nods.
"Oh." Chi Hanfeng casually puts the gold coins into the bag. "This is Daqingshan's tuition. It's very cheap."
Then he looks into Green's eyes again. "Do you hope to eat delicious lizard jerky or fish every day?" Green nods.
Chi Hanfeng then grabs another handful of gold coins and throws them into the bag. "This is one year's food expenses, two years' food expenses, three years' food expenses. Almost enough. I need to provide you with at least ten years' food expenses. No problem."
Green looks at him in astonishment and nods hesitantly.
"Daqingshan eats less and also needs some." As he speaks, he grabs two more handfuls of gold coins and throws them in.
"I will also buy armor for Daqingshan in the future. Alas, it's so expensive." Another two handfuls of gold coins go into the pocket - the pocket is almost full.
"Almost enough. Oh, Green, look, that old man is still taking your treasures." When Green turns his head, the last two handfuls of gold coins fill the bag to the brim.
"Don't look at me, little one." Lei Ge looks at the angry Green in front of him. "I don't want money. Look, I just picked up some magic scrolls and, oh, some magic items."
"You will go on adventures with them in the future. It's not good without scrolls. I'll hold them for you first. Otherwise, you carry them yourself." The old mage piles a lot of scrolls on Green's head.
"These magics, you will also need to learn in the future. If there is no one to guide you, it will be very dangerous. As for me, I am a magister. As you saw just now, the giant dragons outside can't beat me. They are stronger than you. Right. So when I am your teacher, I should be able to look at these." A wolf-grandmother-like smile appears on the mage's face.
"This ring. Oh, look at this lightning shield symbol." The old mage puts the ring in front of Green's eyes. "It is naturally able to defend against lightning attacks. Daqingshan uses it. You have no objection?"
"Here, this ring. There is a blue shield symbol on it. This is naturally able to defend against water attacks. Daqingshan uses it. You also have no objection. Oh, Daqingshan already has one. So, Daqingshan will give this to Amy. You also have no objection. Good. No objection is good."
After this round of bargaining, the group leaves the dragon's lair with far more gains than expected. That night, Chi Hanfeng hugs the bag of gold coins and can't sleep again. Lei Ge keeps touching the magic items beside him to confirm that they are not lost and also can't sleep. Green touches his head and thinks about all the events that happened during the day. He doesn't have insomnia, but has nightmares all night.
