"Save me?"

Keltullis's eyes were full of vigilance.

Arwen spread his hands, "Don't believe it?"

"First, in your current state, it would be very easy for me to cut off your head and use it as a decoration on the fireplace."

"So, I have no reason to lie to you."

"Second, I want to understand one thing. Through understanding, I know that you have an agreement with the dwarf chief elder Brouver. Through the worship relationship, you are living in peace on Mount Carbon. Why did you break the agreement?"

Keltullis Hearing this, anger welled up in his eyes, he raised his head with difficulty, and growled low in his throat.

"Promise? What a hypocrisy! Dwarves, elves, and humans are all hypocritical races."

"Oh, I'm all ears."

Keltullis sighed, "Yes, they sent tribute and a fat sheep, but there was poison hidden in that sheep. They broke the agreement first, and they wanted to hurt me!"

Arwen glanced at her. Indeed, when he first saw Keltullis in the sky, he noticed that something was wrong with her body and that she was covered in bruises.

Even though the dwarves were helped by people from Margraviate of Talgar, the ones at the Dragon Mountains were not real dragons, just some ordinary flying dragons.

It's actually very simple to identify the difference between a flying dragon, a dragon, and a dragon, just look at their wings.

The wings of the flying dragon are connected to the front claws. Like a bat, the center of gravity is mainly on the strong hind limbs.

The giant dragon is different. In layman's terms, it is a lizard with wings, complete limbs, and larger size.

The dragon's scales are also harder, so those dragon-killing arrows used to deal with flying dragons will be greatly less effective against the dragon.

Obviously, she had been sneak attacked when she was heading to the dwarf town.

Arwen folded his hands and spoke calmly, "Madam, I believe your words, but I am a demon hunter, so I believe in my professional knowledge."

"Ordinary poisons have no effect on the dragon."

Before Keltullis could reply, Arwen continued talking.

"When I was learning about dragon drawings, the old demon hunter once told me that dragons, like demon hunters, have extremely high poison resistance."

"There was once a town that was often invaded by a giant dragon. A shoemaker named Kozojed came up with a trick to deal with the dragon."

"He bought a sheep in the town, slaughtered it, and stuffed its belly with dodder, belladonna, poison hemlock, sulfur, and cobbler's resin."

"To be on the safe side, he also bought potions from local pharmacists who believed in ghosts and gods."

"Those potions are full of silver mercury, and combined with the contents of the sheep's stomach, they are already considered to be the most poisonous things in the world."

"Even we demon hunters will not be contaminated easily."

"Then, the shoemaker tied the poison-filled sheep to a wooden stake. Not long after, the giant dragon flew down from the sky and swallowed the sheep in one bite."

"At first, everyone thought the poison had an effect, because the dragon flew unsteadily and quickly fell into a forest."

When the red dragon Keltullis heard this, a joking voice came from his mouth.

"Then they will be in trouble."

"Yes, madam, they sent two warriors to check the situation of the giant dragon first, but obviously, this was an idiotic decision.

As soon as the two humans got close to the giant dragon, they were disemboweled with their claws, eating all the internal organs and draining the blood, and finally flew away staggeringly.

This dragon slaying is very famous and has been widely spread by bards.

And that dragon is still a smaller green dragon, and its poison resistance is just that. As a more powerful red dragon, your poison resistance is much higher than it.

If it really doesn't work, you can just spit out the poison."

Keltullis's pupils condensed, "They provoked me first, is this my fault?"

"No, I'm just curious about why you're so angry? I understand now."

Having said this, Arwen swept towards her soft belly.

"Those poisons are not used against you, but something else. You are pregnant, right."

As soon as these words came out, the cave fell into dead silence.

Keltullis's eyes were ferocious, his body was shaking, and blood burst out from the wound, "Human, why are you here?"

Arwen stood up at the same time, "The dwarves are afraid of you. One red dragon has already overwhelmed them. If there is a nest, this Mount Carbon will never have peace."

"Shut up! I came to this mountain first, and my lair has always been here. They dwarves are the invaders! I did nothing wrong with my children."

"Da da da----"

A dull voice came from outside the cave, interrupting the conversation between the two.

Both are extraordinary things. Even if they are hundreds of meters apart, you can clearly hear the sound of iron boots sweeping through the bushes.

Arwen patted the dust on his body and said, "Look, the dwarves have arrived. Among them is a knight named Eyck. He is not as easy to talk to as me. He regards all monsters as filth. To be honest, I respect him. He is a knight who is more like a witcher than a witcher."

"You have two choices now. First, continue to stay here and guard this cave and your children, but I'm afraid the outcome will not be very good."

"Second, follow me and get out of here."

Get out of here?

Keltullis's eyes were stunned, and she now fully understood the other party's intentions.

"Do you want me to surrender to you?"

Keltullis exhausted all his strength, exuding a violent aura and rushing towards Arwen's position.

How could a giant dragon succumb to a human being?

"Why? When we dominate this world, you humans are still competing with hyenas for food!"

The latter's eyes were sideways, and those golden cat eyes were extremely indifferent.

Under that terrifying dragon aura, an extremely violent pressure bloomed from the body, instantly tearing apart the opponent's aura and suppressing it towards Keltullis.

[Magic Suppression Domain] and [Deep Abyss Domain] are expanded at the same time.

All the magic power in the cave is solidifying, the space has become sticky, like sinking into a quagmire, and breathing has become difficult.

The gold coins collapsed downwards with gravity and overlapped each other, accompanied by the sound of cracking porcelain.

The stones above the cave fell, and the stone wall could not withstand the gravity and began to crack. Large spider web-like cracks continued to spread.

Keltullis Feeling these two realms, his already weak body collapsed to the ground again, fear and fear welling up in his ferocious pupils.

What is this?

She had never felt this kind of Suffocation pressure in her life.

It's a tremor from the soul.

"No way?"

The man's cold voice echoed in his mind.

Keltullis's body couldn't stop trembling, and at this moment, taboo words emerged from the inherited memory.

field.

That's something only gods can possess.

"Wait----I do----"

Arwen takes back the field.

"Very good, you should be glad that you made the right choice. Don't think about yourself, always think about the child in your belly."

After saying this, he raised his right hand, and the space ring on his ring finger flashed with silver light.

The gray-white shadow scurried towards the entrance of the cave like a snake.

Outside the cave.

In the dense forest, Raven stood on the tree trunk with his head tilted, staring at the group of people with his scarlet eyes.

A dwarf wearing cotton armor walked at the front, carrying a long-handled dwarf ax behind him.

Behind him is a knight-errant wearing chainmail and five Targo knights with exquisite patterns.

Rodney combed his brown beard into a braid, and when he opened his legs, the beard dangled around his belly button.

Everyone came to a bush.

The pungent and hot dragon's blood melted the thick layer of snow covering the ground.

Eyck stared at the hole in front of him with sharp eyes, made a cross on his chest with his fingers, and silently recited a prayer.

"With the mercy of the gods, we have finally found this filthy thing."

"Ha," the Rodney dwarf took out the long-handled ax from his back, "The brave knight is right, this beast deserves to die here, I want to cut it into pieces."

Eckhart of Targo remained cautious. "You two, although the evil beast has been injured, we cannot take it lightly."

"I and my followers will set up heavy crossbows around it, and you go to the cave to lure it out."

"Just one more arrow and it will die."

Rodney snorted, "Did I think it was necessary to go to such trouble? The flying lizard has eaten the poison you gave us, and after the battle just now, it can no longer fly. Just go in and kill it. Are you afraid that it has an old lover? Don't worry, Mahakam Mountains is the only female lizard."

Eckhart frowned.

That's right, the poison used to deal with Keltullis was brought by them.

Margraviate of Talgar has a good relationship with the Ferenc Clan, but over the years the latter has been invaded by giant dragons and suffered greatly.

Ferenc Elder quickly thought of the friend at the Dragon Mountains's feet.

They have rich combat experience against the Dragon Clan.

As it happened, Targo suddenly had the need to make weapons, and of course the two hit it off.

As long as the dragon is eliminated, Ferenc can help Targo convince the dwarf elder to help refine weapons.

At the same time, they can also take a break from fighting the dragon and resist the oppression of the great elder.

Kill two birds with one stone.

Just like now, the great elder's prestige has obviously dropped a lot after this dragon raid.

It is precisely because of this that Targo is so well prepared for going up the mountain.

Otherwise, who would carry a heavy crossbow and dragon-slaying arrows with them.

Just transporting these two items up the mountain would take a lot of effort.

Eyck Fastened the buttons on his body, "Mr. Dwarf, Eckhart What the knight said does not make sense. We must take precautions."

Rodney continued to hum.

Suddenly, a dull sound came from the entrance of the cave.

Everyone immediately lowered their bodies.

"Huh? Did that beast escape?"

"No, the footsteps are wrong. They are much softer."

Under everyone's surprised eyes, a dark shadow was slowly illuminated by the sun, revealing the gray-white skin.

On the slender neck is a bare head with no cheeks and only two small, dead eyeballs, which are cracked under the lips on both sides of the skull, revealing sharp teeth.

From a distance, it looks like a faceless face, which is creepy.

"Oh my God, does this beast really have an old sweetheart?"

Rodney took a breath of air and exclaimed here.

Eckhart hurriedly ordered his followers to build a heavy crossbow.

Eyck stood up from the bushes at this time, holding a spear in his right hand and a shield in his left hand.

"Gods above, this is a dragon lizard. I cannot turn my back on such filthy things.

17

After that, he raised his gun and went into battle, quickly rushing towards the position of the dragon lizard.

There is a rustle of wind and a little cold light.

"Clang!"

The sharp spear tip pierced Dracolizard Golem's chest, making a sharp sound.

Eyck's pupils condensed, and an extremely strong counter-shock force was transmitted to his right arm through the gun barrel.

The spear in his hand was specially modified, plated with a silver film like the demon hunter's silver sword, and engraved with runes by the master forger of Novigrad.

This blow, even if it is the red dragon Keltullis, will leave scars.

But the body of the dragon lizard in front of him remained motionless, and there was no pain in his eyes, only a deathly silence.

The skin on the chest, which was as tight as cowhide, collapsed with the force of the gun tip, but there was no damage at all.

How is this possible?

Eyck was horrified in his heart. This was definitely not a dragon lizard, nor was it Drowner. The dragon lizard knew what pain felt like.

After a brief moment of confusion, Dracolizard Golem's slender neck suddenly poked out, opening its bloody mouth and biting Eyck's shoulder.

Eyck hurriedly put away the gun and dodged, barely dodging the blow.

Dracolizard Golem did not pursue, but still guarded the entrance of the cave.

Eyck seemed to have discovered this and bullied him, but his attack could not cause any harm to the creature in front of him.

After a while, Eckhart assembled the heavy crossbow and mounted the dragon-slaying arrow.

"Get out of the way!"

Eyck heard this sound and quickly rolled sideways.

"Whoops!"

A sharp sound erupted from the forest.

The figure of the arrow spinning extremely fast drew a straight black line in the air, as fast as lightning.

Dracolizard Golem's neck is aimed at the arrow in a twisted posture, with the bending angle approaching an exaggerated ninety degrees, which is completely beyond what a normal dragon lizard can do.

"Roar!"

With a low roar, blue flame rays spurted out from his throat.

In just a moment, the dragon-killing arrow turned into ashes and flew away.

Even the heavy crossbow in the distance was pierced by blue flames.

Eckhart exclaimed, took the attendant's hand, and quickly stepped aside.

"Bang!"

The heavy crossbow disintegrated, its steel parts melted, leaving only charred wooden remains.

"I swear on the Targo eagle that I have never seen this monster before. This is definitely not a dragon lizard!"

Eckhart looked angry and sad, and pulled out the knight's sword from his waist with his right hand.

Dwarf Rodney swallowed his saliva. He felt that this monster was more difficult to deal with than Keltullis.

"How about----why don't we go back first?"

He backed down.

"No, the holy book says: The world was originally a gorgeous garden, and the gods left it to humans to take care of. We can't turn a blind eye!"

Eyck said categorically.

"This beast seems unable to leave this cave, and it doesn't look like a living creature. We can take the opportunity to sneak in, cut off the red dragon's head first, and then come back to deal with it."

Dwarf Rodney hesitated and admitted that what the other party said made sense.

If Keltullis is not solved now, it will definitely bring big trouble to the Ferenc Clan in the future.

"Okay, I'm with you. You are the same dragon-slaying warrior as Brother Yarpen. I believe in you."

Yarpen·Ziglin is a famous dragon-slaying warrior who once killed a Ocvist dragon and is still sung by bards.

Eckhart looked ferocious, for Targo, for the glory of the family, as a knight, just for this moment.

Suddenly, the sound of a bird flapping its wings sounded in everyone's ears.

"Quack quack----"

The black crow feathers are colorful and dazzling under the refraction of the sun.

Several people looked involuntarily and saw the pair of scarlet pupils, which were constantly rotating and flashing with green luster, like cat's eyes that were lit.
