Casting spells

Dragging his exhausted body, Zhang Cheng struggled to get up, simply washed his face with the water in the wooden bucket, lifted the curtain and walked out.

I saw that the originally calm sea suddenly began to boil for some reason, like boiling water, not only emitting a large amount of white water vapor, but also showing a strange black-gray color.

Terrified sailors and soldiers alike gathered to discuss the meaning of this incredible phenomenon.

Others knelt on the ground, praying devoutly to the seven gods, longing for the protection of the gods.

"Eric! What's going on here?" Zhang Cheng directly questioned the unsightly face of the team leader.

"My God! My lord, you finally woke up! Just 5 minutes ago, the whole island suddenly began to shake violently, and then the sea water was like what you see now. I think it is probably the precursor of the volcanic eruption. We You better leave now, or..."

In the end, Eric couldn't help shivering. Even a bold man like him would not want to encounter one of the most terrifying disasters in nature-a volcanic eruption.

You must know that the location of the ruins is a large group of active volcanoes. Long ago, the Valyrians forcibly sealed all the volcanoes with their powerful magic, and only then did they create a brilliant civilization.

"The volcano erupted?" Zhang Cheng subconsciously frowned.

As a fan of natural science, he knows more or less about volcanoes, but from the reactions of the surrounding seabirds and the smell in the air, it is not too obvious, at least for the time being, he can't smell the sulfur. smell.

Normally, no matter what the volcano is, it emits a lot of sulfurous gas before the eruption, and the animals and birds will also become restless, so it is easy to detect.

But now, the birds and small animals are still doing what they should do, without any signs of panic, and the smell in the air is also very normal. It doesn't look like a volcanic eruption.

After pondering for a few seconds, Zhang Cheng immediately shook his head: "No, no, this is not a volcanic eruption, but the result of some other force. Organize a team immediately, and I will go down to have a look."

"Go down? You mean..." Eric's eyes showed excitement and anticipation.

He had known for a long time that a secret passage had been found in the ruins of the tower, but he had not obtained permission to enter.

"Yes! Let's go in and see what is hidden under this tower. Remember, you don't need too many to choose the bravest and most experienced players, about thirty are enough." After finishing speaking, Zhang Cheng turned and went back to the tower. Tent, stuff everything you might need into your backpack.

About half an hour later, an expedition team consisting of 25 heavily armed soldiers, five sailors with a lot of exploration experience, and 37 people from Eric and Zhang Cheng left the camp and headed deep underground.

Passing the room of Valyrian steel ingots, no one realizes how valuable the dust-covered bars are.

After walking along the narrow, sweltering tunnel for about 15 minutes, almost everyone in the team was sweating profusely, relying on non-stop drinking water to ensure that they would not die of dehydration.

Glancing at the multifunctional watch thermometer on his wrist, Zhang Cheng found that the ambient temperature had already reached 45 degrees Celsius, and most people would not last long at such an ambient temperature.

Just when he was considering whether to go back the same way, the soldier walking in the front suddenly stopped and knelt on the ground with a plop, shaking all over his body, as if he had seen an extremely terrifying scene.

Eric noticed this keenly, and immediately rushed up to cover the opponent's mouth, dragged him to the back, and then popped out half of his head to look around the corner.

moment!

His pupils suddenly dilated and contracted, and then he retracted his head, his back pressed against the wall, biting his lower lip and panting violently, his face full of horror.

"What's going on? What's inside?" Zhang Cheng hurriedly asked in a low voice.

Eric didn't answer, but just shook his head desperately, signaling not to go.

But he obviously underestimated Zhang Cheng's courage and his incomparable desire for power.

Without any hesitation, Zhang Cheng pushed the other party away and walked through the corner alone.

Before he took two or three steps, he saw a fiery red color in front of him, to be exact, a large hot magma pool.

In the very center of the magma pool stood a five-meter-high and three-meter-wide stele filled with various high Valyrian scripts and unknown symbols, which were exactly the same as those on the horn of the "Dragonbinder".

You don't need to ask, it's the powerful blood and fire magic of the Valyrians that is recorded above.

Of course, if it's just stone tablets and magma, it's not enough to scare a guy like Eric.

What really frightened him was a giant red dragon lying in the magma!

One counting the tail is likely to exceed 250 meters!A prehistoric monster like a hill!

The most important thing is that it didn't die. Instead, it kept snoring slightly, and golden sparks spewed out from its nostrils from time to time.

In addition, in front of its mouth, there is a lens that exudes strong energy radiation. It is the meteorite that caused the doomsday catastrophe recorded in the book...

Chapter 166 The Dragon Awakens

"Clonada, the First Dragon, the Mother of Dragons..."

Zhang Cheng subconsciously read this sentence translated from the Dragon's Horn, with a horrified expression on his face.

He couldn't believe how long the dragon had lived after seeing it, and how it survived the cycle of energy fading.

You must know that even a big guy like "Black Death" Balerion with a wingspan of more than 200 meters failed to survive the continuous decline of energy.

Also, why was the meteorite beside the dragon instead of where it fell.

In short, the more he thought about it, the more Zhang Cheng felt that something was wrong with the whole thing, as if he had missed a very important detail.

But the current situation obviously does not allow him to calm down and analyze slowly. He needs to make a judgment as soon as possible. The cryptic symbol of the record.

Because no matter which one of these two is very important to him, the former means a new energy source, and the latter means more magic knowledge.

At the moment when he was hesitating, the soldier behind him who saw the situation inside first had a mental breakdown for some reason, and frantically pushed his companion away and ran towards the surface, screaming "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Ah" and other unintelligible ravings.

"Damn!"

Zhang Cheng found that the situation was a bit out of control and released the flashing technique without thinking, piercing the other party's throat mercilessly.

Before he could draw the sword out, the sleeping giant turned over, causing the ground to vibrate violently.

At this moment, all the remaining people finally understood that the abnormal reaction of the sea surface was not a precursor to a volcanic eruption, or an unexplainable supernatural phenomenon, but was caused by the dragon changing its sleeping position.

As the giant dragon's huge body was flattened again, everything returned to calm again. Except for the shortness of breath of the people who were still in shock, it seemed that nothing had happened.

Zhang Cheng took a deep breath, carefully pulled out the sword, and lightly laid the corpse flat, without making any sound during the whole process.

After all this was done, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and face, took out the paper and pen in his backpack, and quickly recorded the contents on the stone tablet.

As for the specific meaning, he didn't plan to think about it for the time being, at least not before leaving this dangerous island.

No wonder the records of the Targaryen family say that a terrible demon is sealed here, and they have never planned to retrieve the Valyrian civilization heritage...

As time passed, every member of the expedition was enduring pain and suffering.

For them, not only is the temperature of the surrounding environment beyond the limit that the human body can bear, but more importantly, the prehistoric beasts in the magma pool are stimulating their nerves all the time.

If it hadn't been for some unlucky guy who showed everyone what would happen if he escaped, some people would have turned around and fled long ago.

However, Zhang Cheng ignored the extremely expectant eyes of the soldiers and sailors, and concentrated on transcribing one after another of the mysterious symbols and the corresponding high-level Valyrian text descriptions.

In just a few minutes, he transcribed most of the content on the stele.
