Soul of Burning Steel

? November's ice and snow mixed with the cold wind, piercing human bone marrow like a knife blade, and the diamond-shaped ice crystals towering on the polar ice sheet trembled slightly in the wind, making a harsh tremor.

The four-person squad wears white robes with magic enchanted with [Windproof Guardian], and walks through the ice and snow. The two low-level blessing magics, [Swift] and [Free Action], appear in circles of light silver on their bodies. The aperture allows everyone to ignore the ice and snow under their feet and quickly approach their goals.

　　 Transit through the teleportation array inside the Winterhold Academy. After returning to the Academy and handing in the proof of mission completion, the group of four immediately set off and teleported to the time and space node of the Icefield without stopping to rest.

　　 For the possible gold, great enthusiasm is surging in everyone's heart.

　　 Of course, as Ivan said, what the deer said may not be true. It is not strange that a beast lied in order to save his life, but the question is, what if you go to see it?

They were originally going to conduct trials in various places to hone their magic skills. As for where to practice, it is not an important thing. The giant wild boar in the Hoarfrost Forest, the wolves and ghosts in the Frozen Forest, and the Arctic Ice Field. In harsh environments, there is not much difference.

The other three people think the same way. In Nick’s words, the monsters have killed enough. Their points in the academy are almost stable first. It is also time to generate and explore some new things. After all, the wizard is the most The important thing is curiosity.

　　 Facts have proved that the purely harsh environment is nothing to the prepared adventurer. The four wizards, who are at most black iron rank, were not blocked by the wind and snow, and smoothly came to the dragon's nest.

There are no powerful monsters in the far north ice sheet, because this was originally the territory of the white dragon. Around the dragon clan, within a hundred li, there can be no monsters exceeding the silver level, although now the entire white dragon nest has been killed by a certain lord. , But within one or two years, the prudent Beast will not rush to the forbidden area passed down by the memories of ancestors.

　　 But even so, as the captain, Ivan was extremely cautious. He first raised his hand to signal his companions to stop, and then whispered: "Let’s detect the traces of the nearby monsters first."

　　 At this time, the four-person team is about five kilometers away from the Dragon's Nest Relics. The towering mountain peak is almost in front of you. Although the dragon's nest at the top has collapsed, the towering mountain is still majestic.

Ivan’s words are indeed correct, Karin wiped a handful of hoarfrost eyebrows, and then carefully took out a magnifying glass-like instrument from his arms, and a wave of magical power that was so thin that it was almost imperceptible flashed and swept across the circle. Land within a few kilometers.

This is the military detection magic equipment handed to her by the red-haired girl’s father, [Small Light Lens], which uses a principle similar to radar to release a weak wave of magic power. If this wave is absorbed or blocked, it means There are creatures with strength above black iron nearby.

Camilla also began to cast the spell. The girl with the platinum ponytail raised her right hand, and the four-person team was covered by patches of crystal clear white dust. The magic of covering the breath was also successfully released. The smell and magic fluctuations on their bodies were all released. Temporarily concealed by stardust powder, it becomes like the outside world.

　　 "Wait! There was a discovery!"

A cautious move does not necessarily yield results every time, but this time it is particularly disturbing. Karin frowned and looked at the feedback on the lens, lowered her voice and said to her companions: "There is a large-scale magic nearby. Reaction... There is something above silver passing by the neighborhood!"

"Then what should I do?" Nick touched his head, he tightened the white snow-proof cloak tightly on his body, and even said the native dialect: "Don't say silver level or above, silver level can kill the four of us with one hand. A few went back and forth, whether it's a monster or a human."

　　 Although the two often quarreled and quarreled, the half-dwarf was very convinced of Karin's judgment.

"Hide it first." Ivan looked around nervously, then let everyone squat down. They were hidden in the wind and snow, and the cloak was covered with snow. From a distance, it was impossible to tell. The young hunter was calm. After thinking for a while, he said: "The Arctic Ice Field is located on the other side of the Black Forest in the Great Aas Mountains. It is very normal to have warcraft around. It was originally only because of the existence of the White Dragon. Annihilated, it is not impossible for a silver-level beast to flee near the dragon's nest."

Silver-level beasts are not an important existence in the Black Forest. Compared with the black iron-level cannon fodder and lower levels of the food chain, they are at most the level of high-level cannon fodder and high-level existence, but for a four-person team , Any silver beast is irresistible to them, even if they escape, they will have to pay a huge price.

　　 "Amila, you use farsighted magic to see the situation."

　　 Ivan decisively gave the order, and the four of them cautiously came to a nearby hill, and Amila stood on the hillside, looking far away in the direction of the Dragon Nest Mountain Range.

　　【Eagle Eye Technique】

The girl’s excellent magic affinity and control make it easy for her to cast most of the low-level magic, even some intermediate-level magic. The Eagle Eye technique is simply easy for Amila, but she casts it this time. At that time, there was a trace of tension in my heart.

　　 But the wave of magic power appeared, and the field of vision extended outward, and the girl had no time to feel nervous.

　　In the distance, under the mountain range of Dragon Nest, a dozen humans dressed in black and very conspicuous in the snow are moving at the foot of the mountain. They are busy going up and down the mountain, and it seems that some work is being done.

Because of the wind and snow, Amila could only see so much, and then had to turn off the magic, and in the next second, a slightly slender figure among the men in black made a sound, and she turned her head to look towards Where the group of four was located, frowned slightly.

　　 "What's the matter, your priest?"

Next to him, another black-clothed man asked eagerly, and the black-clothed woman shook her head after he indulged in a meeting: "It's nothing, maybe there are monsters peeking into dragon blood...this lair is full of scattered dragons. Blood is extremely attractive to those monsters.

　　 "Don't stay here, hurry up and explore the cave." After speaking, the woman immediately yelled, and the attentive man ran towards the dragon's nest on the top of the mountain without hesitation.

　　 At this time, although the black-clothed man was not noticed, the four-person team still encountered a crisis.

　　Because the real World of Warcraft is here.

　　 The lens-like detection device flickered red, and Karin almost yelled in surprise, but when Nick's shameful appearance sounded, she abruptly held back it.

　　 Then, in an urgent and nervous tone, she urged the surrounding companions who were thinking about whether to continue to the Dragon Nest: "Go! There are gold-level monsters around!"

The other three were shocked, and Nick even accidentally dropped the shield in his hand into the snow, but after all, they were the best among the college students, so they did not panic at a loss, but made a calm judgment: Determine the course of the beast, and then avoid it.

　　 At this time, it was not when they were complaining about why gold-level monsters appeared here. What they need to do is to save their lives as much as possible.

"That monster appeared from behind us!" While shifting rapidly in the wind and snow, the red-haired girl quickly narrated the current situation: "It should have originated from the Black Forest on the east side of the Great Aes Mountains, and only There may also be gold-level monsters there!"

　　 "Where should we go?!" Ivan asked hurriedly.

　　 Karin made a decision in only one tenth of a second: "Toward the Dragon’s Nest Relic!"

　　 This little girl is undoubtedly a standard representative of order and evil. Her eyes are filled with light that hurts others and self: "It's really not good. Let that group of people and this monster!"

　　 The other three are no doubt not good guys.

　　 "Good idea!" "That's it!" "Thank you for them."

And just on the hill where the four people were originally located, the wind and snow splashed, the earth shook, and cracks bloomed on the frozen soil and ice, and then were broken open by a huge force, and then, there was a sound. The wild roar for dozens of kilometers.

The whole body is covered by an iron carapace, and the whole body is like a huge pangolin-like giant beast from the earth, and then it shows its existence in the surrounding area. It swept violently with a tail made of steel. In one lap, the hills that had been nearly collapsed collapsed into countless small pieces, and the snow drifted all over the sky.

The earthquake-like impact and powerful pressure immediately affected the four-person team that had not had time to run far. They sensed the movement, swallowed together, and then continued to accelerate towards the dragon without looking back. The ruins of the nest ran away.

　　 Tiejiashanlong.

A terrifying creature that can only be seen in the mountains, it is an early stage of gold in adulthood. Its nest is located three kilometers underground, close to the iron-rich area of ​​the lava zone. This huge monster with the blood of the ancient dragon in the original world uses iron ore, rock It feeds on the flesh and blood of other high-level monsters and can shuttle in magma. It uses the heat of lava to incubate its offspring, can breathe high-heat air currents, and its resistance to physical attacks and fire attributes has almost reached a limit.

Its carapace is a special alloy, which is produced by the iron armored mountain dragon engulfing various metals and then solidifying it on the surface of the body. This alloy is one of the best choices for forging armor. It is also called dragon steel. Such a monster is completely a biological war machine, whether it is from underground or on the ground, it can easily break through the protection of the city wall, causing a lot of damage in the city. But fortunately, this kind of creatures are relatively uncontested. They are hardly interested in iron-free humans and do not live in the Black Forest, so they never join the beast tide.

　　 Now, it is attracted here because of a certain breath.

After slaying the white dragon in the dragon's nest, Joshua returned to the territory without doing anything, and his knight later picked up the outer dragon corpses, but there were still a lot of white dragons in the dragon's nest. Dead body. In addition to the iron armored mountain dragon likes to eat rare metals, the most favorite is to swallow the flesh and blood that exist at the same level. Human flesh is too small, and only Warcraft can satisfy its appetite, and the dragon's corpse is undoubtedly a feast.

After observing for several months, it was confirmed that there was indeed no life around. The cautious mountain dragon simply broke through the soil and came to the surface. At this moment, it also found humans near the dragon’s nest, and Hai discovered that these humans seemed to be digging out dragon nests.

"Hey, quack!" The mountain dragon let out an angry roar. It couldn't allow its target to be touched by other people. Suddenly, this huge monster stepped on the footsteps that could make a big earthquake tremble, and moved towards the distant dragon's nest. The group of people in black rushed away quickly.

　　 On the way, it also found a crowd of four who were escaping quickly. The Iron Armored Mountain Dragon was preparing to sweep away these small dots with a tail, but suddenly stopped moving.

　　 because it felt a breath.

　　 Very familiar breath.

　　 The iron armor mountain dragon couldn't help but shudder, the owner of this breath, it had seen it from a distance a few weeks ago. At that time, it had just crawled out of the ground, ready to go to the surface to breathe, but was shocked to perceive that there was a much stronger existence fighting with some creatures. The mountain dragon cautiously poked its head out and looked in the direction of the battle. , But saw the overlord of the Black Forest on the east side of the Great Aes Mountains, a golden mid-level steel feather eagle was easily bombarded by a human, as if killing a chicken.

　　 "This thing is really good as a sacrifice for the harvest festival." He seemed to be muttering to himself: "It doesn't look like there is much meat."

　　 The next moment, the human turned his head to look in the direction where the Iron Armored Mountain Dragon was hiding, and then shook his head disappointedly: "Hey, there is less meat, and the body is full of iron, and the one is not very long."

Just being looked at, it is as if you are in the abyss. The gold-level monsters have no idea that they have been let go. It is just that they have little flesh and look ugly, but this does not prevent the iron armored mountain dragon from surviving to hold this breath firmly. He remembered it in his mind, and evaded it after encountering it.

Withdrawing the tail that was about to be swept out, letting go of the four insignificant creatures, the golden monster even slowed down, and did not rush towards the dragon's nest in such a hurry. It carefully observed its surroundings and sensed the human being. breath.

Killing these four too weak little ones is naturally easy for the Iron Armored Mountain Dragon, but even the monsters know that if they attack one of the cubs, then there is no doubt that they will be hit hardest by that party, even if it is. There is a slight possibility that it will definitely not do anything to these little things with that human aura. It hasn't lived enough yet, and it doesn't intend to seek its own death.

　　 At this time, the four-person team was talking panting.

　　 "Why is it still chasing us?!"

　　 "Didn't it just pass us just now? Why did it slow down?!"

　　 Amila frowned thoughtfully, and she whispered in a nice voice: "This monster seems to be going to shoot us just now, but suddenly it stopped... Maybe it doesn't want to hurt us."

"Why?" Nick was confused, but the half-dwarf couldn't control so much at this time, he said gruffly: "Forget it, we continue to run towards the dragon's nest, it will definitely face the group of people in black. of!"

　　 Ivan was vaguely guessed.

A few days ago, because their team completed the most tasks and ranked first in points, it was awarded by two deans, Nostradamus and Joshua. All four of them and two were extremely strong at the time. The readers had close contact, and each received a small medal.

　　 No, it is unlikely. The young hunter shook his head vigorously. He felt that this idea was too ridiculous. Even the Lord Lord was not so terrible that even a trace of breath would scare the Warcraft into fear.

　　 Yes, this is impossible.

　　 On the side of the black-clothed man, a great riot occurred at the moment the gold-level monster appeared.

　　 "Warcraft is coming!"

　　 "It's the iron armor mountain dragon! The strength is the golden mid-level!"

　　 "The explorers come back quickly! I heard no, the explorers inside Dragon Nest come back quickly!"

A series of warnings sounded, and the black-clothed woman known as the priest also looked at the iron armored mountain dragon walking slowly with a shocked expression on her face. She yelled: "What's the matter, the plan has been ruined." This is the Arctic Icefield, how can there be a mountain dragon?!"

　　 If it is an ice pterodactyl or a giant ice element, she can still accept it, because these are the creatures that should appear in the polar ice sheet, but the white dragon maintains its own territory, so it drives and annihilates them. Most of the magic props prepared by the entire team are for these ice monsters.

　　 But the armored mountain dragon, this war machine, they never wanted to provoke them in the past!

And just as the slowly advancing golden behemoths and the group of people in black who were waiting in line were facing each other, the four-person team focused on the iron armored mountain dragon with the help of the opponent's attention, and successfully reached the dragon's nest mountain peak. The other side.

　　 They were halfway up the mountain, watching the confrontation between the two condescendingly, their hearts throbbing and throbbing, even when they arrived at their destination, the four of them didn't mean to be happy at all.

　　 "What can I do?" Karin looked sadly at the scene where the battle might break out at any time down the mountain, and couldn't help but complain softly: "What is the situation, the plan has become too fast."

　　 The other three nodded in sympathy. The plan did not keep up with the changes. Before setting off, the ghost knew that another group of mysterious people had come to Dragon's Nest ahead of time, and a golden beast was also peeping here, and it happened that they all caught up.

Just as the four people on the mountain showed their sorrow, when the monsters and the men in black under the mountain were about to start fighting, on the edge of the polar ice sheet, Joshua and the humanoid black stood in front of a cluster of flowers like ice crystals. , Seems to be hesitating.

　　 "Ice diamond thorn flower." The soldier looked at the silver-white translucent flower in front of him, and whispered to himself: "I found this thing."

Like snowflakes, the beautiful flowers glowing with icy cold light swayed slightly in the wind, releasing obvious and incomparable magical fluctuations. The cold air of over minus one hundred and twenty degrees was released to the surroundings along with its breathing, letting this small area be released. Slipped into the freezing cold like an ice prison.

This kind of magic plant has extremely high ornamental value. In addition, it can also be used to make high-grade ice magic scrolls and equipment. It is very cherished, and its growth conditions are also very demanding. It may not produce more than ten clusters.

"It's so beautiful." Hei said, but she didn't know the value of this flower at all. She just sighed with joy from the heart, and then approached, wanting to touch it: "If you are a firefly, you should like it? With her His hair matches well."

　　 "Don't touch it, your magic opposes it."

　　 stopped this sea-born fire dragon from touching the magical plant of the ice system~www.novelmtl.com~ but Joshua also thought about it for a while: "But indeed, it is a bit like Firefly's hair."

　　 I remembered that the magician girl had been with her for a long time, even if she faced evil gods and legendary powerhouses, she didn't have the slightest fear. The warrior couldn't help but smile: "Give her this flower, should you be happy?"

　　 But he didn't take it off immediately and took it off. The warrior just spread his own vindictiveness and aura around him to avoid the beasts and dangerous factors that may exist around him. Joshua patted his black head and said: "Well, let's go for a walk first, and pick it up when we get home, so that we won't be broken by accident."

　　 "Okay." Hearing the words of the master, even the black dragon girl looked very well-behaved. She stayed away from the ice diamond thorn flower, and then became the body of the dragon again, and the warrior stood on top of the black dragon again.

　　 "Walk, explore the distribution of monsters, come back to pick flowers."

　　 Joshua nodded, and said with satisfaction: "Sure enough, a seamless plan."
