Chapter 223 Lonely Mountain Dragon Beast
"Dragon Breath?!"
Seeing the exaggerated pillar of fire, everyone, including Carl, changed their expressions.
But soon, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Because the creature that spewed fire just now flew towards the giant eagle, the people with better eyesight clearly saw that the guy had no forelimbs, only two claws on his wings.
This is the standard appearance of a dragon beast. If it weren't for the dark red scales on the other party, it would be a super two-legged flying dragon.
"Fortunately it's not a dragon, as long as it's not a dragon, we can fight it!"
After a long sigh of relief, Carl felt a little relieved.
But Hope on the side was not so optimistic.
Hope: "But the opponent's breath looks no weaker than that of an ordinary red dragon. If you run into the opponent, it's best to take fire prevention measures in advance."
Carl: "Hehe! You underestimated me! Don't worry, the mechanic never fights an unprepared battle. As long as I give you time, these things are easy to say!"
After quietly getting out of the car, Carl and his companions quickly scouted the nearby terrain.
After a short search, Bane found a cave.
Carl operated the micro-floating gun and used earth shaping to build a temporary camp in the cave.
Bain and Thorin helped, while the remaining three were responsible for cleaning up the excess dirt and gravel with dimensional bags.
Carl had no idea whether the wyvern would patrol its territory after eating, so they quickly dug the cave to a size that could barely accommodate the truck, and then hid their companions and the truck inside.
Hiding was necessary, because any dragon beast, like their dragon blood relatives, had a special liking for glittering metals and gems.
Carl's mecha was mixed with fine gold and mithril, and the wyvern would not let it go even if it didn't know the goods.
After hiding everything in the cave, Carl used the extra gravel and dirt to pile up a few shelters outside to prevent the wyvern from accidentally hurting everyone in the cave when it spit out its breath.
At this time, Carl missed his engineering construct very much.
Especially their ability to compress and compact the soil into mortar.
If there is such a thing now, Carl's workload can be reduced by at least half.
Just after the most basic fortifications were completed, the roar mixed with dragon power echoed in the mountain.
It seems that the dragon beast has already enjoyed the flesh and blood of the giant eagle and is now patrolling its territory.
"Hiss~, this roar is really scary, otherwise we can explore the lonely mountain by digging holes."
Listening to the roar outside, Scorpion frowned and put forward his ideas to everyone.
It is said that rats have their own ways, and today Carl has seen it.
"Pah!"
Slapping his wife on the back, Bain looked at Scorpion speechlessly, and said angrily:
"Do you think this mountain is as easy to dig as ordinary soil? If it weren't for the fact that this cave is relatively large, we would not be able to dig such a large space even if we die!
Don't make suggestions next time!"
The irregular cave can only barely accommodate the truck. Carl and others just sat sideways in the remaining space and almost filled the place.
But fortunately, the interior of the truck is large enough to be used as a motorhome.
So everyone quickly moved back to the car.
For any team accustomed to adventure, this situation is already very good.
But Carl still felt a little awkward.
After thinking for a while, Carl took two micro-floating cannons and got out of the car.
"Hey, captain! I was just joking!"
Seeing Carl get off the car, Scorpion thought Carl wanted to try his previous method.
But Carl just gave her a speechless look, and then replaced the magic pattern plate for the floating cannon.
Carl manipulated the power armor on his body to slightly deform, revealing the liquid nitrogen sprayers on his limbs.
"Swish~"
The thick white mist sprayed out from the nozzle on his arm and hit the rock wall beside him.
The hard rock wall was quickly covered with a layer of white frost.
Seeing that the situation was almost done, Carl closed the nozzle, and then used two micro-floating cannons to release flaming arrows towards the rock wall.
Between cold and hot, the structure of the rock wall changed under the rapid expansion and contraction.
The "crackling" sound of shattering spread rapidly on the rock wall with cracks.
"Is this possible?"
Looking at the scene in front of him in disbelief, Bane felt that his brain seemed to be a little insufficient.
Before this, he always thought that the only way to dig the rock was to use explosives and spells.
"Physical change, friend!"
Putting both hands of the power armor on the rock wall, the vibration function of the Thunder Fist was turned on, and the rock fragments fell faster.
However, the movement was not small, so Carl quickly turned off this function to prevent Smaug from coming.
This Smaug is definitely not the Smaug in the movie "The Hobbit", but since the dragon beast outside looks similar to Smaug and is guarding this lonely mountain, it seems to be okay to call it that.
Of course, this one in front of us can't be dealt with just a dragon hunting crossbow.
Looking at the strength of its breath and its size, Carl thinks that this guy can easily hunt those purebred copper dragons in their growth period.
"It's a pity that we don't even know which direction the gate of the ruins faces, otherwise we might be able to sneak in like in the movie."
Muttering in a low voice, Carl looked up again and saw that there were only more rocks ahead.
Sighing, Carl called the rest of the people over to dig with him.
This work was quite interesting at the beginning, and Thorin seemed to have activated his racial talent, digging very hard.
But as they dug, everyone, including Carl, felt a little tired.
But no matter how tired they were, they had to persist. After this time, they felt comfortable.
At about two o'clock in the morning, the originally bumpy and extremely irregular cave was finally dug into a more regular shape. Everyone also dug out a part of the space deeper to let everyone set up tents.
When everyone finished all the remaining work and used magic tricks to clean the stains on their bodies and went to bed, it was already eight o'clock in the morning.
Scorpion finally realized how stupid his previous words were.
…
At the same time that Carl and his team finally found their target, Joanna and Kasha also completed the purge of the recruited people in Storm Bay, far to the north of Xendrik.
The battle between Kasha and Yale a while ago was not fierce.
As a layman who has not honed his fighting skills since entering the professional field, Yale's fighting ability can be imagined.
He himself may want to settle down and study when he reaches the bottleneck period of level 4, but unfortunately time waits for no one.
During the battle, he tried to interfere with Kasha more than once with what he thought was righteousness or ideals.
But obviously, his charm attribute is not high enough, and compared with Liu Huangshu, he is not even qualified to carry shoes.
How could a paladin with charm as the main attribute of spellcasting be easily shaken by a few words?
When Yale tried to shake Kasha's will with words for the third time, Kasha used the furious slash and split Yale in half from the middle.
Once Yale died, the people he gathered were naturally in chaos.
A small number of them tried to avenge Yale, but after comparing the strength of both sides, they quickly admitted their cowardice.
Most people just gave up resistance and even shamelessly wanted to submit to Kasha.
And Joanna and Kasha wanted to clean up these people.
"Mr. Moore, I put the recent financial statements and account books here, please remember to read them."
On the second underground floor of the Bastion Base, Joanna handed the latest work report to Moore and then left the workshop.
She has become more and more adept at this kind of work recently, and she also sincerely admires the master and apprentice of the Qiji Tower who use this method to work.
In the continuous work, Joanna even summed up the tricks of this way of working and tried to teach her classmates.
Unknowingly, the manager of Kolan Castle was actually sidelined by this group of students.
Joanna and her teacher were naturally happy to see it happen.
After all, she couldn't stand the manager's bossing everyone.
This steward came from Throne Castle after the incident in Storm Bay. He got this position because he had some connections with the top leaders of Kolan Castle.
This person in charge is also a noble of Throne Castle. This time he came here to represent the noble group of Throne Castle and wanted to get a share of Storm Bay.
One of the parties who forced Joanna to seize power from Carl was this guy.
The other party was Joanna's family elders.
What can you say about these adults?
They are both bad and playful.
After all, Throne Castle is not big. Although the nobles have industries, few of them have actually managed even a small town.
Doing business and ruling a territory are different after all, but they obviously haven't adapted to the change.
So when they tried to steal the power of Storm Bay with the so-called elder status and noble title, they finally found that the so-called power would not be transferred so easily.
Joanna and Kasha were recognized by some people because of Carl. As long as they don't want to, the steward of Kolan Castle will never get any power.
His own strength is indeed stronger than Joanna and Kasha, but the Dragonmark Family, the Sons of Winter, and the Moore Class are also stronger than him.
He also wanted to learn from Carl and find a construction team to build houses for the people in Storm Bay to win their hearts, but let’s not talk about efficiency. Even if he did it, others would only think that he was hired by Carl to do the work, and they would not listen to him.
After leaving the bastion, Joanna quickly returned to the station of Kolan Castle.
The classmates who came to Xen’drick for adventure this time were handling their own affairs in an orderly manner, while the person in charge who airdropped in stood aside and looked at everyone with a gloomy face.
Habitually ignoring the other party, Joanna walked to her classmate and discussed government affairs with him.
"Part of the second round of construction work has been completed. In a few days, you can gather those helpers and let them draw lots to choose houses. Remember to bring more people and constructs with you at that time."
Hearing this, the person in charge narrowed his eyes slightly, and when his eyes turned, I don’t know what idea he thought of.
