The sunset glow is layer upon layer, like a gorgeous ink painting painted on the sky. The scales on both ends of Adolescent Dragon are coated with glow, and they are talking.
"Unowned Gray Magnetite? Nice find."
Garos said, "With this iron ore, we have a bargaining chip to carry out trade. We send the war group units to garrison and let Kobold be responsible for digging. They are the best miners."
After a pause, he added, "Bring all Kora Giant Eagles over as air security."
Borderlands is not as rich as the wilderness. Garos attaches great importance to the first discovered Gray Magnetite.
To carry out water trade through the Estonia River, only relying on the horns, furs and other biological materials obtained by Hunt is of little help. The most important thing is the mineral veins that can be mined continuously and have value.
In addition.
Nick Caravan is coming again soon.
The caravan that has received the new message from the Molten Iron Clan will change its route and come from the waterway via Estonia River, and Red Iron Dragon has not forgotten Nick's request for an audience.
Molten Iron Clan migrated to Borderlands and started again. It was the time when various resources were urgently needed.
The alchemy equipment, manual knowledge, and prop drawings requested last time are also very important, and are related to the development of the Molten Iron Clan's alchemy industry.
"I will take care of the mining of the ore veins."
Iron Dragon Sorog nodded, his eyes fell on Garos, and said, "Garos, it's you, my dear brother, you have another mutation?"
What he was referring to was the thorns on Garos.
After entering Dragon Valley and settling down, another month has passed, and Garos's thorns have now completed their evolution.
Dark brown hardened thorns of different sizes were concentrated on Garos's back, neck, arm armor, shoulders and other places. They shone with a cold light and looked very dangerous.
"Come and feel it."
Garos said to the curious Iron Dragon, turning his body slightly and exposing his shoulders, signaling Iron Dragon to attack his shoulders.
"I'm coming."
Iron Dragon reminded him, then raised his claws and struck at the area with the densest thorns on Garos's shoulder.
Clang!
The thorns rubbed against the sharp claws, sparks flickering and flying.
Tear. Iron Dragon He bared his teeth and quickly retracted his claws. When he lowered his head and looked down, he was shocked to find that his hard claws were inserted into fine and sharp thorns, and strands of silk oozed out Dragon Blood.
These thorns are actually strong and sharp enough to pierce the dragon's claws!
Dragonkin basically has thorns.
The thorns of Evil Dragon are denser and sharper than those of Metal Dragon.
However, this kind of thorns are far less sharp than dragon claws and not as hard as scales. They actually have little effect on Dragonkin's body. They mainly play a "beautiful" effect for Evil Dragon's aesthetics.
The thorns of Garos are not only beautiful.
Even with the hardness of Iron Dragon's claws, it was scratched by it. It was like a sharp blade, and it was also at the level of a magic weapon.
Baring his teeth and taking in a breath of cold air, Iron Dragon raised his head and looked at Garos's shoulder.
Something even more surprising happened to him.
I saw that those broken thorns regenerated at an ultra-high speed that was visible to the naked eye. They grew back in just a few breaths, and the color did not look like new thorns at all, which was heart-stopping.
"Can it be regenerated?!"
Iron Dragon showed envy and asked, "Garos How did you do it? I admit that the intensity of your exercise is so high that it is difficult for me to match, but this is not something that can only be achieved through exercise."
Through exercise, the thorns can become stronger.
But to the extent that it can pierce Iron Dragon's hand? And it can regenerate? It's a fantasy.
"The mutation caused by mixed blood, and my constant training."
Garos blames mixing and exercise.
He changed the subject and asked, "Sorog, have you decided what career to choose first?"
Iron Dragon nodded and said, "Psionicist, I plan to take office as Psionicist."
Garos was a little surprised. He originally thought that Iron Dragon would like warrior-type professions.
"It's enough to have you here for combat, and Psionicist also has good combat skills." Iron Dragon said, "The most important thing is that this profession allows me to better manage the territory and command my family."
Ignas The three brothers now have a clear division of labor.
Garos is a leader and the strongest symbol. Once he takes action, any difficulty or desperate situation will be easily solved.
Sorog is a minister and is extremely good at coordinating and managing clan affairs, so he chose Psionicist as his profession. Samantha is responsible for alchemy logistics, which is not very important now, but with the development of the clan, the alchemy industry is indispensable.
"Your mind and will are stronger than ordinary Iron Dragon."
"I believe you can take up the job."
Garos smiled and said.
Psionicist has a threshold and needs to awaken Psionic Energy through meditation, and meditation is a boring process. Samantha will definitely not be able to sit still, but Iron Dragon has a talent in this area.
After communicating for a while.
Iron Dragon took several groups of his family members and flew in the direction of Gray Magnetite, preparing to establish a stronghold at Gray Magnetite first.
Garos Continue to focus on yourself.
He concentrated on the thorns on his body, and then shook his body violently.
Whoosh whoosh!
The thorns tore through the air and penetrated the surrounding earth, stone, vegetation and trees deeply. They were like enchanted and alchemical arrows. They had an extremely wide range, and the killing effect was stronger than Explosive Scale's Shatter, and it could also catch people by surprise.
"After the Thorn evolves, I no longer need the damage from Explosive Scale."
Garos thought to himself, and then called Wyvern again to come over and "step on his back".
Wyvern carefully avoided the range of those thorns and launched an attack on Garos's scales.
Under the attack of Wyvern, Explosive Scale on Garos gradually turned red. However, because he stopped midway again and again, the speed of Explosive Scale's turning red obviously slowed down. However, it will still overload and explode in the end, and it will take time to gradually adapt and carry out new evolutions.
When the time comes late at night.
Iron Dragon Sorog led his family members to Gray Magnetite.
Before they officially start digging, they need to build a simple camp here to facilitate subsequent work.
Ogre, Gnoll, Lizardfolk, etc. began to set up camps, build sentry towers and other living and defensive fortifications.
Kobold were carrying mining picks and following behind Iron Dragon, their tiny eyes shining cunningly in the moonlight.
Gray Magnetite is located near a low mountain. Sorog taps the rock formation with his paws and carefully closes his eyes to sense it.
"Here." He pointed to a rock wall. "Start mining here."
Kobold immediately took action, and the crisp sound of the mining pick made of fine steel colliding with the rock broke the silence of the night.
At the same time, Kora Giant Eagles was hovering in the sky, scanning the ground with sharp eyes. They occasionally emitted piercing chirps to warn of any possible threats.
The stationing and mining of Gray Magnetite was in full swing under the command of Iron Dragon.
And in the distance among a forest of hardy pine trees.
Silver Mane, hidden under the shadow of the tree canopy, put down Eagle-Eye Scope, his silver-white mane standing up slightly due to nervousness.
"Those tall and strong Ogre are wearing metal armor."
He lowered his voice and said, "There are also those Hyena Knight and Dire Wolf Knight, all of which have sophisticated equipment. They are not like the dependents that Adolescent Dragon can possess."
Iron Hoof's hooves scratched the ground uneasily and said, "What's even more troublesome are those Giant Eagle. With them patrolling the sky, it's difficult for us to approach quietly and attack."
The two looked at each other in silence, and both saw hesitation in each other's eyes.
Iron Hoof suddenly grinned and said, "What, are you scared?"
Silver Mane said, "I was just thinking, maybe Elvie is right."
He looked at the busy family members in the mine and muttered, "This Iron Dragon is not simple."
Iron Hoof said, "Don't forget, whoever can handle things here first may become the clan leader. This Iron Dragon is a little different, but it's not enough to scare us."
On the opposite side, Silver Mane suggested. "How about we join forces and deal with Iron Dragon together first, and then you and I will compete for the position of clan leader. In short, we cannot let a bastard become the clan leader."
Ironmane thought for a moment, then nodded heavily.
ps: From now on, intelligent creatures will be referred to as him/her, and non-intelligent beasts or semi-intelligent creatures such as Dire Bear will use it.
