Liu Tianyu had no reason to refuse, so he naturally let the witch come along.
"Here? It doesn't seem strange at all?"
Riding on the snow shadow, Liu Tianyu surveyed his surroundings. There was nothing here except for the white snow.
"It's not on the ground, it's underground! Please step back with your group!"
The Sword Saintess gently shook her head.
"Underground? I remember after the rumors about magic stone mines spread in Stormwind Territory, those gold prospectors went down two hundred meters underground but found nothing unusual."
Although he had some doubts, he figured that professional matters should be left to professionals, so he nodded and then told his own troops and allies to retreat quickly and leave the area to the Sword Saintess.
After seeing Liu Tianyu and the others leave, the Sword Saintess gripped the exceptionally ornate Libra sword tightly in both hands and stood still, as if she had become a perfect statue.
Looking at the Sword Saintess who had suddenly stopped moving from a distance, Liu Tianyu was a little puzzled, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he looked at his character profile.
They started adding up all the extra attribute points they had, just like adding points in a game.
After experiencing so many battles, he had already accumulated a great deal of experience and leveled up several times.
If he hadn't glanced at Drogon, the black dragon, in his inventory, he probably would have forgotten about his character panel.
[Drogon (Black Dragon): Armor: 99, Speed: 99, Maneuverability: 49, Charge: 99, Requires Riding Skill: 7, Riding Skill level insufficient to equip.]
The reason Liu Tianyu is still riding Snow Shadow instead of Black Dragon Drogon is simply because his riding skill level is not high enough to take Black Dragon Drogon out of his inventory.
"Perfect! My agility is 18 points, so I only need to add 3 points. My riding skill is 5, so I only need to add 2 points!"
Liu Tianyu glanced at his own status, then tapped on the virtual screen to add free attribute points to his character panel.
"Phew, I suddenly feel lighter."
After the training session ended, Liu Tianyu felt that his 77kg weight plus 20kg of equipment made him feel much lighter.
He knew this was not an illusion, but that his body had truly become more agile.
"My merciful lord, it seems that the Sword Saintess is in some kind of trouble!"
Seeing the black dragon Drogon change from an unequipable red state to an equipable green state, Liu Tianyu's lips curled up slightly. Now, he could truly become a dragon knight.
Just then, Eleanor, who had been observing the Sword Saintess, approached Liu Tianyu's side and nudged the absent-minded Liu Tianyu.
"Um?!"
Upon hearing Eleanor's words, Liu Tianyu refocused his attention on the Sword Saintess, and what he saw next was quite something.
The Sword Saintess, who was originally like a perfect sculpture, now radiated a dazzling golden light.
She was standing, but now she is kneeling on the ground, her small red mouth slightly open, as if she is reciting some kind of prayer.
With each prayer she finished reciting, the Libra sword she gripped in her hands shone even brighter, and the sky around her, which was originally a deep blue, was now filled with gold.
"What's going on?"
Seeing this sudden strange phenomenon and the tense atmosphere in the air, Liu Tianyu couldn't help but look at the witch beside him.
"A miracle, and a very powerful one at that! The Sword Saintess seems to be communicating with the Supreme God!"
Sensing Liu Tianyu's burning gaze, the witch explained slowly and deliberately.
"Divine light has fallen!"
Just as the witch finished explaining, the Sword Saintess, who was kneeling on the ground, finished reciting her prayer and then shouted loudly.
"Boom!"
Like rolling thunder, the golden sky suddenly churned, just like the lightning and thunder of a storm.
After the Sword Saintess's shout, a thick, golden bolt of lightning, as strong as a pillar supporting the sky, struck the spot where she was kneeling.
"Hey! Is this what they call being struck by lightning? Why did that Sword Saintess do this? I'm asking if we could collect her ashes later?"
Seeing the Sword Saintess enveloped in golden lightning, Eleanor was taken aback and blurted out in a frenzy of complaints.
"Shut up! If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute! Didn't you see that no one is reacting? Besides, this lightning bolt was summoned by the Sword Saintess. Does she really think she'd strike herself for no reason?"
Seeing Elaine's exaggerated reaction, even though he was also very surprised, Liu Tianyu still scolded Elaine.
"Haha, that's true."
When Alain heard Liu Tianyu's reprimand, he quickly laughed it off.
"However, what exactly is this golden lightning doing? Not only does it show no signs of stopping, but it is getting stronger and stronger. Could it be that this golden lightning can penetrate the earth's crust?"
Well, in this high-magic world, it seems like science can really be ignored... So, is there really something deep underground?
Looking at the intense light caused by the golden lightning, Liu Tianyu wiped away the tears that had flowed from his eyes due to the stimulation, and looked on with curiosity about the purpose of the Sword Saintess in attracting the golden lightning.
"Boom boom boom"
Not long after, the once calm earth suddenly began to tremble violently, especially within a hundred meters of the golden lightning that had created a large hole, where the ground actually caved in!
"Something's about to emerge! Everyone, prepare for battle!"
Seeing this uproar, even a fool would know that something was definitely wrong. Liu Tianyu drew the heavy hand-and-a-half sword from his back and shouted at everyone.
"Roar, ahhh!"
Shortly after the earth caved in, a deafening roar followed.
"Holy crap! There really is something beneath the Stormy Plains! Just how deep underground is this thing?"
Hearing that powerful, thunderous roar, Liu Tianyu, who had lived in the Stormy Grassland for eighteen years, was completely taken aback.
After all, the gold prospectors back then had already dug hundreds of meters underground and hadn't seen any trace of life, but now the Sword Saintess has miraculously unearthed something.
Just how deep is it hidden? Five hundred meters? One thousand meters? Or two thousand meters?
If it weren't for the arrival of the Sword Saintess, he probably would never have imagined that there were actually creatures deep underground in the Storm Plains.
"bang bang bang"
While Liu Tianyu was still in shock, a pair of forelimbs, as hot as flames and thicker than a human, emerged from the sunken ground!
Chapter Sixty-Six: Hello Lava Dragon, Goodbye Lava Dragon! [Two Chapters Combined]
Finally, after the giant monster's body crawled out of the collapsed ground, the Stormy Plains, which was in the midst of winter and bitterly cold, suddenly warmed up.
The snow melted into water, then evaporated into steam, and the withered grass was burned to ashes.
The frigid winter of minus forty degrees Celsius was instantly transformed into a sweltering summer of forty degrees Celsius due to the appearance of this monster.
Liu Tianyu stared at the monster that had crawled out of the ground, his eyes filled with utter astonishment.
Its entire body is covered with dark bone spurs, which look incredibly hard. Far from being ugly, they seem to be a layer of sturdy armor that makes it look majestic.
Moreover, these pitch-black bone spurs shimmered with a dazzling luster, much like precious black gold.
Its jet-black body was faintly glowed with red light, much like magma about to erupt.
Its forelimbs are short but as big as an adult, and its hind limbs are thick and bigger than two adults combined, all burning with fierce and dazzling flames.
Its thick, pillar-like tail, seemingly made of magma, would cause the earth to tremble every time it struck the ground.
The enormous head, as big as a small car, had crimson eyes the size of lanterns staring intently at Liu Tianyu and his group in the distance. Lava dripped continuously from its gaping maw, scorching the earth.
"What kind of monster is this?"
Seeing the terrifying monster standing on its lower limbs, its body as tall as a five-story building, Liu Tianyu quickly turned to the witch, his magical advisor, and asked.
"The Lava Dragon can be said to be the most powerful sub-dragon. Except for not being able to fly, it is almost on par with a real dragon. The Lava Dragon feeds on lava and rare minerals."
Magma provides it with a powerful source of fire magic, while rare minerals are digested and refined by it, forming a black and gold armor on its body.
Adult magma dragons can grow to 15 meters in length!
The body of this lava dragon clearly indicates that it is an adult lava dragon!
The reason why the Stormy Plains suffers from storm disasters every winter is perhaps because its hibernation causes magical energy to leak out, transforming into magical tides that form storms that ravage the Stormy Plains!
Although the witch still spoke slowly and deliberately, her stunningly beautiful face, filled with shock, revealed that she was anything but calm.
"No? The most powerful sub-dragon? On par with a true dragon? Ha! What an astonishing assessment!"
I'm wondering if my Black Phoenix family really has some connection to dragons? My father died at the hands of a dragon, the culprit behind the Stormbreaker Scourge in Stormlands was a sub-dragon, and not long ago I drew the Black Dragon Drogon, tsk!
Upon hearing the witch's words, Liu Tianyu gave a sharp retort, though the last part was only said in his mind.
"Roar! You guys who disturbed my sleep, I'm going to eat you all!"
The lava dragon spat out several mouthfuls of magma from its gaping maw, then let out a deafening roar.
Then, it swung its incredibly strong hind legs and charged towards Liu Tianyu and the others.
With each step it took, it left a burning claw mark on the ground, proclaiming its identity as the Lava Dragon Storm Scourge.
"Damn it! You turned my once prosperous Stormy Grassland into a rotten land that makes people want to stay away, and you even dare to complain first. You ate me, and now you think I'm giving you face?"
Archers, disperse and attack freely! Infantry, move freely! Cavalry, follow me!
Hearing the lava dragon's roar to the sky, Liu Tianyu was speechless. He then pulled on the reins of his Snow Shadow and gave a loud command.
However, the terrifying, earth-shaking power of the Lava Dragon's charge still made Liu Tianyu fully focused.
A car starting up and hitting a person can send them flying.
If that five-story-tall lava dragon were to charge over, it would surely wreak havoc!
"Shhhhh-"
Upon hearing Liu Tianyu's command, everyone dispersed into small groups, while the Swadian knights closely followed Liu Tianyu.
"Hey! You stupid dragon with a brain full of charcoal, I'm right here! I'm the culprit who woke you up, so come and eat me!"
Liu Tianyu circled around to the back of the Lava Dragon's charge route and loudly taunted it.
"!!!"
Upon hearing Liu Tianyu's provocation, the Lava Dragon suddenly stopped moving its hind legs, turned its head, and looked in Liu Tianyu's direction with a puzzled expression. It seemed that it had just understood the sound that Little Dot had made.
"Shhhhh-"
Just as the Lava Dragon's big head was filled with small question marks, behind it, the Vaegir Archer had already drawn his bow and fired an armor-piercing spiked arrow at its "unsuspected" back.
"Ding Ding Ding"
A faint buzzing sound came from the black and gold armor on the lava dragon's back.
The armor-piercing spiked arrows, capable of penetrating even heavy armor, were deflected and fell to the ground when they hit the Lava Dragon's black-gold armor.
Even though a few arrows were scattered and stuck in the black gold armor, they didn't even break through its defenses.
"what?"
The lava dragon seemed to sense something and turned its head back, only to find that it had a few more small things on its body, while more small things fell to the ground.
"Wow, this lava dragon is way too tough!"
Seeing that even a volley of shots from the Vaegir Archer, known as the strongest archer on the continent of Calradia, couldn't break through the Lava Dragon's defenses, Eleon's eyes widened.
"The lava dragon's carapace is almost entirely made of black gold. Ordinary weapons can only leave marks on black gold at most. It is extremely difficult to break through the black gold defense. Please aim at the lava dragon's belly, where there is no black gold protection."
The witch explained to Eleanor, then looked at the lava dragon with a serious expression, gripping her staff tightly with both hands, and her body began to emit dazzling magical fluctuations.
"Extreme Water Blade - Wave!"
After the witch shouted, a water blade with a radius of 2 meters and a sharp gleam appeared out of thin air and flew at an extremely fast speed toward the lava dragon's head, which was constantly spewing black smoke and lava.
Seeing the water blade appear out of nowhere and fly towards it, the Lava Dragon opened its blood-red maw wide and then bit into the water blade.
"Zizzi"
The moment the water blade made contact with the Lava Dragon's massive jaws, it instantly produced a scorching white mist, obscuring what was happening inside for everyone present.
"call"
With a powerful flick of its thick tail made of magma, the white mist vanished without a trace.
After the white mist dissipated, the Lava Dragon stood proudly on the earth, but the water blades had completely disappeared.
However, instead of dripping magma from the lava dragon's mouth, it exhaled thick black smoke. It seems that the water blade wasn't completely ineffective after all!
"Water Elemental Summoning"
After seeing the water blade disappear, the witch waved her staff again and parted her red lips slightly.
