Red Dragon Emperor

Accompanied by 　　迩go all the way, Jose visited the remaining living areas No. 4 to No. 8. Except for No. 5 living area with spring water, the rest of the living areas were abandoned and it was not worth mentioning.

　　 "Are there any other places you haven't been to?"

"The only remaining are some abandoned tunnels. These tunnels were all excavated by our ancestors to explore new mineral veins after the veins were exhausted. That's right!" Ergo remembered that there was another place that he didn't go: "And we dig inferior iron. The mine’s mine, do you want to see the owner?"

　　 "Let's go, as the owner of this land, I need to know every corner of the land."

The entrance of 　　 mine is located in living area No. 8. The passage was dug according to the standard of kobold figure, and Jose had to reduce his size.

　　 Passing through the long, narrow and deep tunnel, one master and one servant came to the hollow mining area. There were dark red spots on the rock walls of the mining area. This is the iron ore vein that the Bloodtooth Kobold tribe depends on for survival.

The ground of the 　　 mining area is covered with **** with clear water chestnuts, and some tools such as picks and shovels are scattered.

　　 Jose stepped into the mining area.

"what?!"

　　 He noticed the abnormality of the ground, and he quickly bent over to remove the **** on the ground, and put the dragon's claws on the ground to feel the unusual temperature.

　　 There is geothermal heat here!

　　 Anyone who has studied geography knows that our world floats on a lava layer, just like a ship floating on the water surface, but the underground magma is not as flat as the water surface.

　　In the earth's crust, some materials have high melting points, and some materials have low melting points. The materials with low melting points will be corroded by high temperature over a long period of time to form underground cavities. Under the action of pressure, lava rises to form underground lava lakes.

　　The heat of hot springs and geothermal comes from such lava lakes closer to the surface, that is to say, there is magma under the mine.

　　 Jose felt happy. The red dragon is a fire dragon. Long-term living in a place rich in fire elements like geothermal is beneficial to the growth of the red dragon.

　　Perfect home!

　　 "Dear master, when we discovered that there was a lava lake below, our ancestors had no choice but to give up digging down. Now we can only dig these low-quality iron ore horizontally, all of which are slag." Looking at the barren veins, Mingou was a little lost.

　　 "Don't be discouraged, my servant, I have found a new vein."

　　 I have to say that the dragon's treasure hunting talent is really against the sky. During the tour just now, Jose felt the rhythm of the veins in the veins, and the unique fragrance made the dragon fascinated.

　　 "On the east side of No. 6 living area, dig down at an angle of thirty degrees. Dig in this direction. You can dig what you want."

　　迩 Gou also remembered that giant dragons were experts in treasure hunting, and his face was filled with joy from the heart.

　　 "Praise you! Great master! You are the gospel of the Bloodtooth Tribe!"

　　 "You are welcome, minerals, wealth, blood teeth, including you, are all mine."

　　 walked for a while, and he felt that he knew about the mine.

　　 "Go back, the people outside should be back."

　　 One master and one servant turned around and walked towards the No. 1 residential area. From a distance, they heard noisy conversations. They happened to encounter the return of the clansmen outside.

　　 Jose stands on the edge of living area No. 1, looking down at his people.

　　 The kobolds who stayed behind in the camp poured in from the tunnel entrance. They dragged their homes with a smile on their faces. They walked and talked, and the barking dogs barked noisily.

　　 Kobolds are a wise race. They use common language and a few dragon languages. Language is one of the main reasons why they are recognized as a wise race.

　　 However, the civilization of kobolds is too primitive. The ornaments on their bodies are made of animal bones and teeth. Most people are in celestial form, and less than 30% of kobolds wear animal skin aprons or coarse crotch cloth.

　　 It is worth mentioning that kobolds wear clothes not to hide their shame, but to show their status. In their eyes, clothes are more valuable decorations than bone decorations.

　　 Seeing the red dragon, Soda and four kobold soldiers walked over with the baked food and presented them with both hands: "Master, please taste the food cooked by the kobold."

Jose took the piece of meat that had been pierced with a wooden stick and sniffed it. It was a petrified lizard that had just been killed. It looked like the most essential thigh meat. He took a bite and compared it to the raw meat cooked by the dragon's breath The original barbecue looks so delicious.

　　 "Yes, you are very hardworking."

　　 Affirmed by the owner, Suoda smiled on his face and bowed and said: "You slowly enjoy, more food is still being processed."

　　 Jose tilted his head to look at the distant fire. Around the fire were a circle of kobolds spinning the barbecue. In addition, there was a stew pot standing on the fire, and white gas was in the pot.

He walked over curiously, opened the lid of the saucepan, and a fishy steam came out, and then he saw the food in the pot-barley, the internal organs of petrified lizards, and some unknown plant tubers, A pot of stew made of vegetable leaves.

　　 He heard the sounds of kobolds swallowing saliva. Obviously, these foods were prepared for them.

　　 Jose put down the lid of the pot and said silently: "Soda, tell me the food situation of the tribe."

　　 "Most of the previously stored meat has been ruined by the petrified lizards, but you can rest assured, master, I have sent people out for hunting, and the soldiers will ensure enough meat supply even if they fight for their lives."

　　 Obviously, Soda misunderstood.

　　 But it’s no wonder that he misunderstood. There has never been that evil dragon caring about whether his servants can get enough to eat. The evil dragon is a brutal conqueror who only cares about his own enjoyment. Even the dependents can use it to fill their stomachs when they are hungry.

　　 But a visitor from another world can't be so cold-blooded. He can't sit back and watch his little brother hungry while he enjoys himself safely, let alone take his little brother as food.

　　 "Of course I want to eat meat, but at least my little brother has to have soup." This is what he thinks.

　　He changed to a more direct question: "How much food is left in the tribe, and how long will it last for you and the tribe?"

　　 Suoda was taken aback for a moment, and then he reacted. The owner was concerned about the tribe’s food reserves and was moved in his heart: "Reassure the owner, the petrified lizards only eat meat, and the stored grains are all well preserved, enough for the tribe to consume for two months."

　　 "What about those two months from now?"

　　 "Two months later..." Soda's voice became smaller and smaller.

Yes, after two months, the bloodtooth kobold tribe will have no food source. They have already broken up with the trade target-the gray-tailed centaur tribe. Naturally, they can’t use minerals to trade for food, hunting and gathering like before. Food simply cannot feed such a large population.

　　 The worst part is that in two months... winter is coming!

　　 In the past, when the mountain was closed by heavy snow every winter, many people of the tribe starved to death and freeze to death. What's more, this year it fell out with the Centaur and lost its main source of food. It can be foreseen what the tragic situation of the Bloodtooth Mine will be this winter.

It is impossible to start a war with the Jackals again, on the one hand, reducing the food consumption of the tribe’s mouth, on the other hand, using the enemy’s corpses and even the dead in battle as rations~www.novelmt.com~ At this point, Suoda shuddered. .

　　 Jose finished the barbecue in his hand bit by bite, and threw down the stick.

"From now on, the bad ore vein will be renamed as the No. 9 living area. It is my residence. Ordinary kobolds are not allowed to enter. You can come to me if you have something to do. Also, my brother, that is, the white dragon, come in. In the future, take him to living area No. 5, and he will like the spring water there."

　　 After speaking, he turned and walked towards the petrified lizard den, took out the lizard eggs in the den, and then walked into the tunnel and disappeared from the Kobold's sight.

　　 Back to the nest with geothermal heat, he laid down the lizard eggs and inspected his new home. If nothing happened, he would live here for a long time.

　　 "First of all, in order to avoid having to use size reduction every time I go home, I have to widen the tunnel, then expand the nest, and finally prepare some emergency passages, at least two, preferably three."

　　 As he said, he started to remodel his new home.

　　 Dragon Claw digging efficiency is very high, but the amount of engineering is too large, and it took three full days for Jose to renovate his new home to his satisfaction.

　　 At this time, the appearance of the inferior mining area has changed drastically. It has become a huge underground space with a diameter of 100 meters. The roof of the cave has been transformed into a circular vault, and the ground has been leveled and transformed.

Three emergency passages were built. Two were located on both sides of the cave. They were dug obliquely upwards until the roots of the trees under the ground were seen. The third passage was dug straight down, leading directly to the lava lake under the ground. You can lift the slabs directly if you have to. Jump into the magma lake for refuge.

　　 "Sit back and relax, you can sleep at ease."

　　 He patted the dusty dragon's claws and lay down in the middle of the cave contentedly.

　　 Because of the geothermal heat, the floor is warm and intimate.
