Chapter 429 Dragon Treasure (Two in One)

No one in the world can refuse the dragon treasure.

In fact, for most dragon slayers, honor is only a part of it. The wealth accumulated by dragons over hundreds of years is what dragon slayers pursue tirelessly.

Especially for dragons in the evil camp such as chromatic dragons, they will always plunder property by any means, which also means that the treasure of chromatic dragons is richer than that of metal dragons. Of course, it is also more dangerous. No one can guarantee that everything on their body will become part of the dragon treasure.

In short, when Naomi mentioned these four words, everyone's attention was instantly attracted.

Even if the battle between the black dragon and Smaug is still going on - although it is Smaug's unilateral crushing, it is obvious that everything will not end so quickly. Killing a dragon is not so easy.

"I have never seen any dragon's treasure." Barn looked at the stinking swamp and said, "If it is for the dragon's treasure, I can bear to dive into this disgusting swamp."

"No, I said, there are other entrances to the black dragon's cave." Naomi said, "Although the environment is not much better."

Tang Sen notified Smaug through his mind, asking him not to damage his food, and then followed Naomi to the side of the swamp.

Soon, everyone saw a dark hole in the ground. The hole was not big and was not enough for the black dragon to pass through.

"This is a cave dug by the dog-headed people." Naomi said, "They breed in the black dragon's nest like insects, and worship and submit to the black dragon instinctively, so they will take the initiative to find and capture other creatures and bring the captives to fill the black dragon's stomach."

"Heh, creatures lower than goblins." Barn disdainfully.

"These guys must have been frightened by Smaug and hid deep in the cave." He said, "Maybe they are looking forward to Smaug occupying this territory so that they can serve a stronger enemy."

"But only death awaits them."

The four people walked into the cave, and everyone squinted and covered their mouths and noses involuntarily-the smell in the cave was not fresher than outside, but they had to guard against worms and scorpions everywhere.

Naomi simply escaped into the shadow plane.

The entrance of the cave was very narrow, and the dog-headed people were generally not tall. It was not until they went deep into the cave that the surroundings became open.

Countless bones piled up like mountains, snakes, insects, rats and ants were running through them, and the strong acid smell made everyone unable to open their eyes.

Tang Sen had to expand the space of the surgery fruit to disperse the smell.

"I didn't see even a single gold coin, there were only corpses here." Barn looked around.

"A dragon won't put its treasure where it eats." Naomi's figure emerged: "Follow me, we are not far from the dragon's treasure house."

The cave shook, and it was obvious that the battle above was not over yet.

"The black dragon knows that we have entered his cave, and he is very likely to try to destroy it directly. Even if it makes its treasure buried forever, he doesn't want others to get it."

Tang Sen frowned slightly and spread the message to Smaug, asking him to stop the black dragon's crazy behavior.

Continuing to go deeper, everyone found that there was light coming from the front.

Colorful.

Bane couldn't help but speed up his pace, and when he turned a corner, he couldn't help but exclaimed.

"So much money!"

Tracy's eyes lit up.

At this time, Tang Sen saw the appearance of the dragon's treasure house.

This is obviously a huge underground cave, half of which is water. Needless to say, from this water surface, you should be able to reach the swamp on the ground directly through the waterway, and the other half is full of various treasures.

Most of them were golden coins, but there were also various gems - the faint light in the cave was emitted by these gems.

How should I put it? Tang Sen was not too shocked.

He had seen the golden sea in the dwarf hall when Smaug occupied the Lonely Mountain. In front of that visual shock, the small golden mountain in front of him was nothing.

If Smaug was here, he would probably taunt the poor guy and try to get into the golden mountain.

Tracy excitedly stepped forward and wanted to pick up a gem.

"Be careful." Naomi flashed over to stop her and said, "These things have been soaked in the black dragon for too long and are stained with extremely strong acid. If you don't want your skin to be corroded, it's best not to touch them casually."

Tracy withdrew her hand in disappointment, and then politely thanked Naomi.

"The gold coins here should be close to one million, right?" Tang Sen roughly calculated.

"If you count the value of the gems, there should be." Naomi said, "Even among adult dragons, this black dragon can be considered wealthy. It must have destroyed many cities."

Tang Sen didn't care about the money. What he wanted to find was something related to the purchase of goods, that is, the ancient dragon.

He was sure that the connection between this black dragon and the ancient black dragon Tiber was definitely not the so-called killing the black dragon would attract the other party - black dragons don't have this concept. They don't care about the life and death of their own kind. Even their own offspring, if they don't leave their nest after the end of the dragon stage, they may be eaten directly.

So, maybe it's a certain item.

At this time, Tracy suddenly noticed that Barn was still standing in the original position, with a dull look on his face.

This is very abnormal.

She joked: "Mr. Barn, I thought you would rush over directly."

Barn woke up as if from a dream, shook his head, and said: "Strange, I heard someone talking to me."

"I'm talking to you." Tracy said seriously.

"No, it's a strange voice. It's in dwarven language." Barn looked around and looked puzzled: "Is there a charm spell here?"

"I'm sure there are no magic traps here." Naomi said affirmatively.

"And I didn't hear any sound either." Tracy said.

Tang Sen's expression became solemn: "Except for the four of us, I didn't sense the existence of anyone else."

His surgical fruit space has been unfolding.

"That voice. What is it saying to you?"

Barn knocked on his head and said: "There are too many clans and conquered giants. No, he is talking directly in my brain!"

"It's an intelligent magic item."

Tang Sen was holding the dark blue gem composed of part of Da Huang's consciousness in his hand, and Da Huang's voice came from it.

"What do you mean?" Tang Sen asked.

"After building the Mage Tower, my master began to study magic in this area and achieved certain results." Da Huang replied, "So I was born."

"Many arcanists like to add intelligent consciousness to their magic props or weapons, which makes them more convenient to use."

Tang Sen raised his eyebrows: "Why can't we hear it?"

"If only the dwarves heard it, I think this magic item may come from the dwarves, or at least made for the dwarves." Da Huang said, "It will not be willing to be used by creatures of other races."

"Magic item? Dwarves?" Barn was confused: "No, it talks too fast, too much! My brain feels like it's about to be filled!"

"Maybe it's because it has been left in the black dragon's collection for too long, so the desire to communicate is very strong, or... its intelligence is shaped into this personality."

"Find it! I have to find it!" Barn yelled, "I can't stand the voice yelling in my head all the time!"

Tang Sen felt the same way.

Smaug is an extremely talkative dragon. When Tang Sen opens the perspective of the outside world, he always complains in his consciousness. Fortunately, Tang Sen often chooses to block the other party's words.

"I think, if it is a magic prop, it should be in this pile, right?"

Cui Xi carefully pointed to a pile of "junk copper and iron" in the corner.

Obviously, the black dragon has sorted out its treasures. Those golden or colorful things are placed in the most conspicuous place for itself to watch at all times, and these unremarkable things are thrown directly into the corner.

Unremarkable is unremarkable, but not unprecious. Obviously, this pile comes from those adventurers who failed to challenge the black dragon, or treasures looted by the black dragon from other cities.

Adventurers who dare to challenge the dragon are not as weak as ordinary adventurers. At least it is a team of adventurers of more than ten levels. With the strength of this black dragon, there may even be nine-ring spellcasters who die in its hands.

Tang Sen had already seen an obviously extraordinary staff and a set of fine plate armor on it.

"This staff has a fixed four-ring transmutation spell Ice Storm, which can be used once a day, and a six-ring transmutation spell Chain Lightning, which can be used once every three days." Da Huang introduced quickly: "Moreover, it can slightly enhance the power of transmutation spells."

"Transmutation?" Cui Xi looked up suddenly.

"It's yours." Tang Sen waved his hand: "It suits you very well."

"I think so too." Cui Xi laughed and performed the zero-ring trick wizard's hand to take the staff.

She still remembered Naomi's warning to her.

It's not that she didn't have something more precious than this staff, but how could the things prepared by the teacher for her compare to the spoils she personally obtained in the adventure?

"As for the plate armor, there are no magic runes. It's just an ordinary refined plate armor."

While Da Huang was identifying it, Barn had already pounced on it and turned the pile of magic items into a mess. Fortunately, he was wearing a fine gold glove, so he was not burned by the strong acid.

"I'm about to find it. It's here!" He kept muttering.

"Are you sure it's okay?" Tang Sen frowned slightly: "Barn looks like he has been affected by his mind."

"That depends on the tendency of this intelligent magic item. If its will is inclined to the evil camp, it is possible to induce its owner to fall into evil. However, that kind of item is generally from demons or devils, and the dwarf's items are more good or neutral."

Da Huang explained: "I need to see the real thing."

"That's it!" At this time, Barn had found a huge warhammer. He held the hammer handle and tried to lift it, but the warhammer just shook.

"Too heavy!" Barn blushed.

"I can feel the power contained in this war hammer." Da Huang said, "Exquisite craftsmanship, there is no doubt that this is a legendary item. Another feature of intelligent magic items is that only certain beings can be recognized by it and use it. Otherwise, it is no different from ordinary items."

"Come to think of it, that black dragon didn't realize the specialness of this war hammer at all."

"Didn't I get recognition?" Baan took a horse stance and exerted force with both hands at the same time. Tang Sen could see the veins popping up on its forehead, but it only raised the warhammer a little.

"If it is willing to communicate with you, that means you have gained its approval." Dahuang never had any mood swings when speaking, but the words were very heartbreaking: "I think you just can't lift it up."

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Barn furiously said, "There is no hammer that a dwarf cannot lift!"

"Many high-quality magic items have their own requirements for use, not to mention legendary items." Dahuang said: "This war hammer is not for ordinary people."

Baan's strength had been exhausted. As soon as he loosened his strength, the war hammer hit the ground with a loud sound, and ripples shook the water on one side.

"The sound disappeared." He said with a slumped expression, "I felt its loss."

"Forget it. Maybe I really don't deserve it."

The dwarf sat down on the ground and lowered his head.

"I have a way." Cui Xi said cautiously: "I have a Tansen Transformation Scroll here -"

"No, no need."

Baan's voice was as low as ever: "Such a precious spell scroll is just a waste for me to use."

“What makes no sense and can’t be lifted is that it can’t be lifted.”

"Barn——" Cui Xi was at a loss.

"I'm just an ordinary dwarf." Barn said: "I should have known myself a long time ago. I can only deal with goblins and ogres, and I have no ability to participate in such a legendary adventure, such as lichs and dragons. A dwarf like me is only qualified to sit in a tavern and listen to other people bragging, then get drunk, and then set out to do some small tasks to earn a few gold coins the next day.”

The stimulation along the way coupled with the growing frustration finally reached its peak at this moment.

Tang Sen could see that the dwarf warrior's mentality was broken.

"I can't help you with anything. I'm obviously a warrior who should be in front of everyone, but I can only hide behind everyone. Carmelo is right, the difference in strength is too big, and it has no meaning other than holding back. "

"No, don't say that, I'm very weak too." Cui Xi said calmly.

Baan raised his head and glanced at her. Everyone could see that he was not comforted at all, and even became even more depressed.

"It doesn't matter, they are all boss's trophies anyway. Let alone the legendary war hammer, I can't even match the armor on my body, so I will just be a cook." He choked up: "When this adventure is over, I Just go back to the mountains and dig.”

The corner of Tang Sen's mouth twitched.

He really couldn't bear to tell him that being a cook honestly was his main purpose of recruiting him in the first place.

Of course, Barn's performance later gave him the idea of ​​​​training the other party, but this does not happen overnight.

"Barn, stand up."

Tang Sen maintained his superficial calm and said, "If you think you are not worthy, then you can really only be a miner in this life."

"It's useless for me to take a legendary warhammer that only dwarves can use, so I don't mind giving it to you until you can control it."

Baan did not raise his head, but he did slowly get up and said in a low voice: "The boss is a generous person. But I am indeed too weak. There are more powerful dwarf warriors in my tribe, and he is more worthy of these. If it’s the boss, he must be willing to be hired.”

"No, this condition is only for you." Tang Sen said calmly: "I don't care about other dwarves, you are my team member."

Barn raised his head suddenly, and everyone could see the tears on his face.

"I" he opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Tang Sen could feel that a new mark of the Dark Lord was lighting up in this world.

"You won't be unable to lift it for the rest of your life."

Naomi gave a rare word of comfort.

Tang Sen glanced at her and suddenly realized that no one present was very good at comforting others.

"If everyone is done talking, can I interrupt?"

At this time, Dahuang's voice suddenly sounded.

"Dwarf, could you lift your feet? I noticed you are stepping on a belt."

Barn was confused and almost instinctively raised his feet. He didn't know why this dull consciousness was saying this at this time. At least he didn't choose to comfort himself.

This actually gave Baan some comfort.

"It seems that I did not admit my mistake." Dahuang continued: "Maybe your problem has been solved."

"What?" Barn slowly opened his mouth.

"This is a belt of giant strength." Dahuang said: "An extremely rare item."

"From the characteristics point of view, the core of this belt comes from a stone giant. Although it is not as good as the fire giant, cloud giant or even storm giant, wearing this belt can still give you the same power as the stone giant."

"I think it and this war hammer should come from the same place. Obviously, the black dragon does not need the belt of giant strength, its power is enough."

Baan instinctively looked at Tang Sen.

"I don't mind giving you one more piece. There are plenty of trophies here anyway." Tang Sen spread his hands and said with a smile, "Would you like to try it on?"

Bane picked up the belt with unprecedented agility and hastily wrapped it around the outside of the plate armor. After finding that it didn't work, he took off his breastplate with great effort and then put on the belt.

"I feel a surge of power."

He clenched his fists, and then there was a crisp cracking sound.

Under the uncontrollable strong force, his finger bones were directly broken.
