Chapter 231: A Cornered Dog Jumps over the Wall

After a while, a stream of heat flowed through the passage ahead.

This temperature was actually close to the normal temperature in Storm Bay in summer. It seemed that Smaug should have released his breath from a certain distance.

But this finally made Carl breathe a sigh of relief.

Because it meant that everyone finally had a place to go out.

Since Smaug could release his breath into the building, there must be a place to go out.

After waiting quietly for a while, Shadow and Scorpion used stealth and moved towards the source of the roar.

After a while, the two drow returned.

"The dragon beast left. It seemed that it should have found the exit by accident. The location of the cave entrance was burned through by its breath and was severely damaged.

However, the dragon beast didn't seem to dare to come in. It should be afraid that it would not be able to turn its body freely after entering the building, and thus be restrained."

After telling his guess, Scorpion waved to everyone and led a group of people to the exit.

It was in the middle of a corridor. From the outline of the collapsed building, it can be seen that there should have been a window here before.

The entire corridor was burned by the dragon's breath, and the ground showed the shape of cooled magma. It seemed that Smaug had destroyed this place a lot.

Carl looked out the window and found that the height from here to the ground was about several floors, and it was completely possible to reach the ground with a climbing rope.

The only problem was that it didn't look like they could leave the lonely mountain directly after going down from here. If Carl and his friends wanted to leave from here, they might need to continue trekking in the mountains for a while.

Bain, who had rich adventure experience, obviously realized the disadvantages of leaving directly from here. Considering that the dragon beast might not have flown far, he said:

"Let's go forward, maybe there are other ways to leave. This ruins is really strange. Why doesn't there even a clear gate!"

After that, he walked towards another section of the corridor.

The ordinary area of ​​this giant ruins is more gorgeously decorated than the hidden area, but this gorgeousness is mainly reflected in the artistry of the stone carvings.

Occasionally, everyone can see some utensils made of precious metals.

For such things, everyone naturally accepted them with a smile.

Going up the corridor, everyone soon discovered that the precious metals in the ordinary area seemed to have been looted by someone.

Only those things that didn't look very valuable were left.

Thinking of the two skeletons that seemed to be adventurers before, everyone couldn't help but feel a little confused.

If it was really looted, where did the gold they found go?

With such confusion, everyone finally came to a place that was very valuable to Carl - a giant's study.

Tens of thousands of years have passed, and those ordinary books that were not enchanted have been turned to ashes.

Now all that is left are the lone books protected by magic.

But I don't know if it's because the magic books are too rare or for some other reason, there are only some books that record magic theory knowledge in this room.

Carl carefully put away these books and was more satisfied with this adventure.

After going around in circles, everyone really found a place that seemed suitable to leave.

It was a place that looked like a restaurant. Behind the huge stone door, you can see the sunlight shining in from the gap.

Relying on his own understanding of various mechanisms, Carl quickly found the mechanism to open the stone door.

Then, the stone door slowly opened, revealing a dazzling metallic reflection.

Gold, endless gold.

On the ground outside the door, countless gold was spread out on the ground like ordinary gravel.

Even Carl, who was well-informed, was stunned when he saw such a large amount of gold.

But soon, Carl realized that something was wrong.

"Wait! Are we a little too close to the top of the lonely mountain?"

Trying hard to recall the three-dimensional map of the ruins that had been thrown behind his mind before, Carl suddenly found that their current location was very close to the nest of Smaug he had observed before.

And at this moment, as if to confirm the rule of Murphy's Law that "good things don't work, bad things work", the roar of the dragon beast sounded from high in the sky.

Smaug is back!

"Fuck!"

Carl didn't expect that he would encounter such a thing even though he was so careful, and he didn't plan to indulge Smaug.

What's more, there is so much gold right in front of him. If he doesn't fight him, Carl feels that even if he escapes in the end, he will not be able to do anything!

"You cover me!"

After saying this to everyone, Carl has already activated the flying technique and jumped up.

The Skyfire Optimus Prime mecha appeared in the air, and the halo of magic lit up between the silent body.

The mecha reflecting the metallic luster shone brightly in Smaug's eyes. This dragon beast swooped down directly from the air, and it looked like it was fighting for its life right away.

How could Carl dare to let it pass him? He controlled the right hand of the mecha and prepared a rising dragon fist.

When Smaug's claws grabbed Carl, he controlled the mecha and hit the rising dragon fist.

But the lack of a standing point reduced the damage of this move a lot. Smaug just rolled a few times in the air and rushed again like a dragon.

"Boom~"

The effect of the flying technique could not be maintained, and the mecha fell to the platform outside the stone gate.

Carl stepped directly under the weathered gold, and the huge weight crushed part of the gold into a ball.

"Roar!"

With a roar, a bright fire was lighting up in Smaug's mouth.

Carl immediately controlled the mecha to rush forward quickly, and tempted Smaug to spit his breath towards him.

Before Carl could stand firm, the fire breath that was enough to melt gold and split rocks had already sprayed all over his head.

Bane and others in the distance began to interfere with Smaug with their weapons, but with the dragon scales protecting their bodies, their attack effects were very limited.

With the breath, the mecha's left hand quickly stretched out, and then grabbed Smaug's big mouth.

The strong grip forcibly closed the outlet of the breath, and some flames sprayed out of Smaug's nasal cavity, but the power was far less than before.

"Who hired you to spray? Your mouth is quite stinky!"

With one hand, Carl swung the arm of the mecha, trying to give the other party a little Hulk-like shock.

But Carl thought too simply.

Although the dragon beast is a beast, it has dragon blood after all.

With a flash of magic light, Smaug spread his wings and flapped his wings, and escaped from Carl's hands with his powerful air retention force.

"Ah--!"

A shrill cry sounded, and the strong sound waves even shook the surrounding metal and rocks slightly.

At this time, two large floating cannons behind the mecha flew up, and white mist spewed out from the muzzles.

The white frost quickly covered Smaug's body, but was dispelled by the opponent's extremely high body temperature.

The steaming water vapor and the white mist intertwined, and a series of snowflakes floated around.

"Swish!"

A sword-shaped axe that was magnified proportionally pierced the white mist and pierced towards Smaug's chest.

Its blade flashed with lightning, and it was faintly trembling.

Smaug, who was used to his body being invulnerable to swords and guns, did not dodge at the first time, but just slightly tilted his body, allowing Carl's attack to pierce a less important part of his body.

But as the saying goes, "acne will not worry you unless it grows on someone else's face." Even if it is an unimportant place, it will still hurt you if you get scratched.

With a "puff", the hot dragon blood spurted out as soon as the sharp blade cut the scales.

From Carl's current mecha perspective, this is not a serious injury, but for other people on the ground, it is like a heavy rain.

Like a steel whip, the tail swung quickly in the air, and the tail containing Smaug's anger hit the chest of the mecha, knocking Carl directly to the gold.

Smaug tried to bite Carl, but just as it opened its mouth to bite, Carl raised the slashing axe and stopped the beast.

After all, it is not a game, and the slashing axe can also be used for defense.

During the stalemate between the two sides, a figure quickly grew larger behind Smaug.

Dazzling lightning burst out in all directions, and the red-skinned Hope performed frenzy and added lightning damage to his chainsaw.

Without transforming into a giant bear, she just swung two chainsaws and chopped Smaug in a cross shape.

With the roar of the chainsaws, dragon scales and dragon blood splashed everywhere.

In pain, Smaug quickly gave up the idea of ​​biting Carl's mecha and flew high again.

Countless dragon blood fell from the air, and Carl was in pain.

Suddenly, Smaug turned back in the air and flew to a higher place on the lonely mountain.

It kept accelerating, and then it crashed into an inconspicuous mountain.

"Is it losing too much blood and its brain is faint?"

Just as he was about to catch up, the place where it was hit shook, and then magma flowed out.

Hanging on the rock wall with two small claws on his wings, Smaug roared to the sky, and then suddenly sent a dragon breath towards the exit of the magma.

With a loud bang, the hill-like place suddenly exploded.

Smaug did a somersault and jumped directly into the lava.

"It's broken! Forget the gold! Let's go!"

Although he said so, Carl still grabbed a handful of gold on the ground, then put Hope, who had been released from the frenzy, on his head, and used his other hand to grab the rest of the people.

The floating gun behind him turned around, the stored solid nitrogen was decompressed, and the mecha barely kept floating in the white mist that was constantly spewing out, flying forward.

But because the weight of the mecha was too heavy, when Carl controlled the mecha to jump out, the mecha as a whole was still falling.

"Boom!"

Behind him, the volcano erupted.

And Carl also figured out why the giant ruins were built so strangely.

It turned out to be connected to an active volcano! Those winding passages were to avoid the passages of magma in the mountain!

The ground trembled slightly, and some of the soil rolled like liquid.

Carl didn't know what magnitude of earthquake this situation was equivalent to, but as these changes occurred, the ground near the lonely mountain began to crack.

Then, under the horrified gaze of Carl and others, the ground began to sink.
