Chapter 554: Deep Pool in the Forest, Evil Dragon Appears
River Rhine, in the Black Forest.
Zhou Yi and Aurora were taken by the dwarf Mime and went deep into the deepest part of the forest little by little.
I have to say that Mime has done a lot of preparation work in this regard, at least he has come to this forest more than once or twice. So much so that he is very familiar with the road now, even with two people, he did not cause any trouble in this forest.
But when they came to a deep pool in the forest, Mime suddenly stopped her footsteps.
"That's it, we're here!"
"Here?" Looking at the calm lake in front of him, Zhou Yi couldn't help frowning immediately. "Are you sure?"
"Of course, Your Excellency. I'm pretty sure!"
Also staring at the deep pool in front of him, there was an indescribable greed and desire in Mimei's eyes.
"I've explored it more than once. I've even seen Fafnir go from here into his lair a few times. So I'm pretty sure his lair must be under this pool. It's just that."
"Just what, don't hesitate. Don't forget, we are now in a cooperative relationship. If the dragon is not here, you don't think about Rhine gold!"
Aurora gave Mime a dissatisfied look. Judging from her sharp eyes, she still had the urge to give this little dwarf a few knives. However, the existence of Zhou Yi made her give up this idea, or just give up this idea temporarily.
"I know, I know. But I can promise! It's there!"
The greed in his eyes was getting deeper and deeper, and the expression on Mime's face began to distort. But his brain is still very clear, and his thoughts are very organized.
"Every time the Rhine's flood season comes, it will come to this nest very punctually. In order to ensure that its nest will not be occupied by other creatures, it has killed all the powerful creatures in this forest. . Even the Chimera that had been entrenched in the black forest was swallowed by it after being directly killed. So I am very sure that it must be in it when the flood season comes. "
"However, it is a dragon after all, and it is also an evil god representing the flood. Therefore, there must be some danger in this lair that I do not know about. I never dared to go deep inside, because I knew that if I was caught by it If I find it, it's all over. So I can only know about its lair here,
Going deeper, I really don't know what's going to happen! "
"It's enough to be sure it's in there!"
Glancing at the waterhole, I saw a huge entrance from the bottom of the waterhole. Zhou Yi just wanted to look a little deeper, but a magical force blocked all his prying eyes. He might be able to forcibly break through this barrier, but he couldn't guarantee whether there would be any suspicion of stunning.
What's more, he wasn't sure whether he had violated the Runic Curse given by Odin by doing so. If that's the case, then it's really going to be forced to end right from the start! So he can only give up the idea of prying into the truth with his eyes, and chooses to believe Mimei's words instead.
He believed that at this time. This Mime, who has been watching the secret treasure of the evil dragon Fafnir for hundreds of years, will never fall off the chain. Because that would undoubtedly completely burn all his efforts over the years. And for any paranoid, this is even more terrifying than killing him. So he immediately ordered to these two guys.
"I'll go in by myself. Aurora, you watch him here, don't let him run away. If Fafnir is not inside. When I come, he will be at your disposal."
"Similarly, if the dragon is really inside. After I kill it, then according to our agreement, its treasure will be yours. Understand, little dwarf!"
For this statement, the dwarf Mime naturally has no opinion. In fact, he didn't have the courage to face the famous dragon at all, otherwise he wouldn't waste hundreds of years here. Therefore, Zhou Yi's command was in line with his intentions.
But Aurora doesn't think so. She has her own ideas in this regard, and her ideas are obviously contrary to Zhou Yi.
"Why am I here, I also want to help. No, I'm going down with you."
"Don't be ridiculous!" After shouting coldly, Zhou Yi said to her directly. "Your father has already told me very clearly that no gods can get involved in fighting the dragon. If there is, your sister will have a fatal accident immediately. Why, you really want to kill your sister?"
As soon as these words were said, Aurora stopped moving in an instant. But when Zhou Yi turned to look at her, he found that this squeamish little girl was already pitiful with tears in her eyes. This gave him an immediate headache.
"I said Aurora, can you not be like this! I promise I can handle this evil dragon alone, and your appearance will only make it more difficult for me to do it!"
He sniffed hard, making all the cries disappear from his face. Aurora's eyes were red, and she looked at Zhou Yi in front of her.
"Then, my sister is up to you. Please, no matter what, you must kill this evil dragon and save my sister!"
"Don't worry, little girl. I haven't broken my promise yet! Wait for me, I'll be here soon."
Hearing that Aurora finally let go, Zhou Yi didn't wait for her to continue to say anything. Leaving a sentence, he jumped directly into the deep pool.
But his actions made the two people present become embarrassed.
Aurora was embarrassed because she still had something to say, and Zhou Yi left all the careful thoughts in her heart to nothing. And she didn't dare to make any small moves without permission, she could only follow Zhou Yi's arrangement and honestly stay here and wait for his return.
The embarrassment of Mime is because, without Zhou Yi, it is too dangerous to put him on the side of Aurora alone.
"That what? I think I should find some food now, after all, we don't know how long we're going to be here, you say so!"
Having said that, Mime began to move her footsteps quietly, trying to temporarily disappear from Aurora's eyes. But before he could put his actions into practice, Aurora silently pulled out the sword from his waist and sneered at him.
"You want to sneak away now, sly dwarf, do you think too much. Facing the divine sword in my hand, do you think you have any chance to escape?"
Looking at the brilliant sword in Aurora's hand, the dwarf Mime couldn't help rolling her throat up and down, and said the name of the sword in a hoarse tone.
"Grum, the sword of victory and glory."
Guram, the sword that represents victory, is also the magic weapon that Odin bestowed upon human heroes. Legend has it that the human hero who wields this sword will enjoy the greatest fame and the most heroic death, which is a dream for any Asgardian warrior.
There are countless heroes who have sacrificed their lives for this sword, and many heroes have sung their names in epics because of this magic weapon. It is a weapon belonging to a hero, but Mime never imagined that such a weapon would fall into the hands of the yellow-haired girl Aurora. This made him say angrily immediately.
"Aurora, Goddess of Dawn, you are a Valkyrie, holding this sword representing honor to kill an unarmed dwarf old man. Isn't this trampling and insulting the honor of the warrior?"
"Don't worry, I didn't mean to kill you. I just wanted to teach you a lesson!"
Aurora still sneered like that, but her body had begun to approach Mime step by step. Seeing her like this, Mimei also began to step back.
"Don't be like this, Lady Goddess. I can tell you with certainty that if you do this, you will regret it in the end."
"Really, then who will regret it!"
Walking into the deep pool and following the huge hole at the bottom of the deep pool, Zhou Yi went deep into this underground lair belonging to the evil dragon step by step. As he walked, a huge cave appeared in his sight. The humidity gradually receded, and the dry and hot air gradually appeared beside Zhou Yi. At this time, he was already standing in front of a wide, snake-like hole.
It can be seen that this should indeed be a dragon's lair. This was evident from the claw marks and scale scratches on the surrounding rock walls. Moreover, these traces are layered on top of each other, some are already blurred, and some are still very clear. Obviously, this place has been cared for more than once, and the most recent one should have been not long ago.
This allowed Zhou Yi to confirm Mime's point of view that the evil dragon Fafnir was indeed here. After confirming this, Zhou Yi began to delve into the past.
He moves quickly and very lightly. Although he didn't use any magical power beyond the scope of nature, just relying on his terrifying body, he could make it go deep into the deepest part of this crypt in an instant.
At this moment, what appeared in front of him was a crypt with a peculiar shape. The neat walls and the skylights on the top of the cave, which were cut obliquely, showed that this was a cave that was not naturally formed. It is precisely because of this that a little bit of light can pass through the skylight above the zenith and shoot into this cave, illuminating everything in this cave.
At this time, with these rays of light, Zhou Yi could clearly see the deepest part of this crypt. A pitch-black dragon was quietly squatting on a hill of gold, making a thunderous snoring sound.
This giant dragon is very similar to the giant dragons in Zhou Yi's impression of those film and television works. It has the same ferocious appearance, the same scales like a sword and a shield, and the same broad wings that are large enough to cover its entire body.
These characteristics are all consistent with the image of the legendary dragon in human mythology, and the existence of this creature is enough to prove that it is the target Zhou Yi is looking for, the incarnation of the evil thoughts of the Rhine, and the evil god of flood Favnir.
