Volume 3: Artifacts Chapter 133 Dragon Tomb

Luke didn't care whether Inspector Red Fox had guessed his identity or not. He knew that this guy was a suspicious and cautious person, and even if he guessed something, he wouldn't dare to say it.

Without this guy messing around, I should be able to sleep well tonight. When we enter the depths of Dragon Country tomorrow, there will be no such comfortable house to live in.

Luke didn't go out for a stroll. He just read a book and went to sleep when he felt sleepy.

The next day, the same car stopped at the entrance of the hotel, and the same two strong men did not have the same expression as yesterday. When they saw Luke coming out, they immediately opened the car door and saluted respectfully to the sponsor: "Sir, your team has been formed, and they are waiting for you outside the town."

Luke got into the car and reached out to give the burly man who closed the car door a hundred marks: "I haven't had breakfast yet, go buy me two bagels and a cup of coffee, and the rest of the money is yours."

"It's my honor to serve you." The sturdy man happily took the money and ran to the fast food truck on the roadside to buy breakfast.

While waiting, Luke asked another strong man, "How many people are there in the team escorting me?"

The sturdy man was already sitting in the driver's seat. He answered Luke's question without hiding anything: "There are eleven of us in total, all adventurers specially selected by our boss for you. They all have many experiences of safely entering and leaving Dragon Country, and they are guaranteed to escort you to your destination."

"Who's leading the team?"

"It's Miss Eiffel."

"That chick?" Luke said disdainfully, "She just looks like a pretty vase. Our trip is very dangerous, and I don't want any women in the team."

"Sir, please don't underestimate Miss Eiffel. She is a very powerful jungle hunter. She was once chased by a dragon, but she escaped unscathed.

Her reconnaissance capabilities and anti-tracking skills guarantee the safety of the entire team."

"I want to see if this woman is as powerful as you say..."

Luke then asked about the rest of the team.

By the time the strong man who bought breakfast returned to the car, Luke had a general understanding of the team's situation.

After meeting these people outside the town, he will be able to match the information he obtained one by one.

Five strong men were responsible for carrying the luggage of the entire team.

Two thieves who are proficient in stealth skills are responsible for going forward to find the way.

A magician provides the team with necessary magical support.

Three jungle hunters respond to an emergency situation.

There are eleven people in the team, and Eiffel, as the leader, is responsible for the marching and rest arrangements of the entire team.

A very standard forest adventure team.

Being able to get the team ready to go in such a short time also reflects the ability and strength of the Dragon Country Club.

The car dropped Luke off and left.

Luke walked up to Eiffel, looked at the woman in jungle hunting clothes, and said jokingly, "I was not thoughtful yesterday. I shouldn't have asked you in front of your boss if you were willing to join the Imperial Secret Service.

Now that your boss is not here, can I get a different answer to the same question? "

Eiffel smiled very professionally and said, "I'm afraid I'm still disappointing you, Agent Luke. It's inconvenient for me to answer. I still want to enjoy my current life."

"It's a little disappointing. But we have a lot of time together during this journey. Maybe when we return, you will change your mind."

Luke's persistence made Eiffel put away his smile: "Agent... let's get going quickly. If everything goes well, we can reach a secret temporary camp by night. Living there is definitely safer than sleeping in the wild."

"As you say, let's go."

"Please do not leave the center of the team. In the forest of Dragon Kingdom, plant-based magic is more deadly than animal-based magic." After warning Luke, Eiffel turned around and ordered the team to move forward.

The two thieves jumped up from where they were sitting, and quickly disappeared into the jungle, one on the left and one on the right.

After a while, the rhythmic sound of birdsong began.

The entire adventure team then took action.

The strong men carried heavy packages and lined up in a team. The magician accompanied Eiffel and Luke at the end of the team, and the other two jungle hunters spread out to the two wings and moved forward parallel to the team.

Walking in the jungle of Dragon Country, Luke couldn't help but think back to his old gaming days.

In the Anno game, Luke had been in and out of Dragon Country many times to get materials, but at that time he was flying high in the sky, and this was the first time he entered Dragon Country from the ground.

The forests of Dragon Country are full of magical colors, and glowing ghosts are everywhere. Therefore, even if the tall dense forest blocks the sky, the forest is still illuminated by colorful lights. There are also those magical beasts that are born with various spells. When they appear, people will ignore their dangers and be shocked by their beauty.

Their fur is sought after by some wealthy individuals.

The high bounty missions attracted many adventurers to come to Dragon Kingdom to hunt monsters.

Eiffel's adventure team demonstrated their professionalism to Luke through their actions. Even in unfamiliar places, they were able to determine the direction of the dragon's lair and the powerful and aggressive monsters through the traces they found.

The route Luke gave was straight, but the actual journey was very tortuous.

But it is very comfortable.

There is no need to sneak into the dragon's nest to steal treasures or hunt monsters. Just hiding from them is like an outing for these adventurers.

Luke once thought that this place was not a dragon country because sometimes there was no trace of a dragon for a whole day.

They walked and stopped, climbed mountains and waded through rivers, and it took them nearly a month to cover a distance that could have been covered in a day by flying.

Luke also just happened to finish his last wood carving.

Eiffel, who was drinking from a kettle, could not help but ask, "What's the point of you doing wood carving all the way here?"

Luke was carving the tail feathers of a goshawk while walking. When he heard Eiffel's question, he replied, "This is just a personal hobby out of boredom. I thought some beautiful stories would happen when I went on adventures with beautiful women, but nothing happened.

Maybe the adventure stories I heard were all fake. I can only make wooden sculptures of the monsters I saw and take them back as souvenirs.

Do you think my Ice Eagle looks exactly like the real one?"

Eiffel had already seen what the goshawk carved by Luke looked like, and she really couldn't find any similarities between a goshawk and something that looked like something other than a chicken.

But this is the sponsor.

"It's very vivid! It looks like it will fly away if you let go."

Luke was very pleased with Eiffel's praise: "I learned sculpture from a master sculptor. Although my work is a little different from the master's, it can still be considered a good work of art.

In addition to the Ice Eagle, I also carved an armored stone pig, a blue-flame red-eyed rabbit, and many more... Would you like to choose one?"

"No!" Eiffel refused immediately. She really couldn't appreciate this kind of abstract sculpture. Afraid that Luke would force it on her, Eiffel changed the subject and asked, "Didn't you say we have reached our destination? Where is the dragon tomb?"

Luke looked around. The team was walking on the ridge of a mountain. There were no trees here, only rocks and sparse grass. Looking into the distance, there was a forest that stretched as far as the eye could see, undulating with the mountains and valleys.

"Like you, this is also my first time to go so deep into Dragon Country. Look at this mountain range. It's the only place without trees. It's like... the back of a giant dragon.

The dragon tomb is right under our feet, and we need to find the entrance to the dragon tomb."

As they were talking, a thief climbed up the mountain panting.

He panted and said excitedly: "We found it... We found the entrance to the Dragon Tomb."

Eiffel asked, "Are you sure this is the entrance to the Dragon Tomb?"

"It must be the entrance to the Dragon Tomb." The thief answered firmly and affirmatively.

“Take us there!”

Eiffel gave the order, and the entire team followed the thieves down the mountain.

When they saw the entrance to the Dragon Tomb that the thief had mentioned, everyone thought that this must be the entrance to the Dragon Tomb.

Because the entrance is an extremely huge dragon head, this mountain is the fossil remains of a giant dragon.

It is hard to imagine how magnificent this dragon, which is as tall as a mountain, was when it was alive. Not to mention that a human standing at the foot of the Dragon Mountain is as small as an ant, even if a dragon was placed here, it would be nothing more than a large grasshopper.

"Did such a huge dragon really exist in this world? Or does this mountain just happen to resemble a dragon?"

Eiffel looked up at the dragon head and murmured questions.

Luke walked towards the dragon's open mouth first. "If this is a mountain, then a great sculptor must have carved it into the shape of a dragon. I tend to think that this was once a living dragon, just like the World Tree.

We are not here to explore the origin of this dragon, but to take away something valuable from here.

Be careful, there may be dragons waiting for death in there. They may be old, but still powerful enough to easily wipe us out. "

Luke's reminder made the adventurers dare not continue to daydream under the dragon's head.

Eiffel asked two strong men and a thief to stay outside to keep watch, and she led the others to quickly enter through the dragon's mouth to chase Luke who had gone far away.

Entering Longtou, there is a long stone road behind.

The light became dimmer as they went deeper, and the adventurers had to turn on magical lights to illuminate their surroundings.

The remains of the dragon were completely petrified . Eiffel knocked a piece of stone from the mountain wall and found that it was really just stone, so he threw it aside in disgust.

Eiffel shone a magic lamp forward to illuminate the way ahead. After walking for a while, he asked Luke, "From the inside, this is just an ordinary underground cave, and there is no sign of a dragon living there. I suddenly have a bad feeling. If... the dragons are dead, and their remains have turned into ordinary stones, won't we have to go back empty-handed?"

"You're going back empty-handed? I'll give you my 11 million Reichsmarks as labor fees, regardless of whether there's any gain or not." Luke picked up a stone from the ground and knocked on the stone wall, which made a pleasant sound: "This is just the neck of the dragon. The old dragon will not die here when it dies.

Let's go, there must be a lot of space inside, we...

Who is there? "

Luke paused while speaking. He took out his magic wand and pointed it in a direction. The tip of the magic wand lit up and the beam of light shone on a stone wall.

Nothing at all!

Eiffel asked nervously, "What did you see?"

Luke took back the magic wand and said, "Nothing, maybe I am dazzled."

Eiffel looked at the place just now, and there was really nothing there.

"Let's keep going. Agent Luke, stay with me and don't leave our protection area."

Luke returned to his seat and walked deeper under the protection of the adventurers.

No one noticed that Luke took out the icy hawk he had carved and threw it on the ground when everyone's attention was diverted.

The team walked away and darkness fell again.

A ball of soft light floated up from the ground, enveloping the Ice Hawk. The hardened wood sculpture softened, and the wooden wings began to flutter. The abstract Ice Hawk seemed to come alive, opening its mouth to spit out a small dragon's breath, and then flapping its wings to fly up.

The light disappeared from the wooden goshawk, and darkness enveloped it again.

A tiny breath of dragon flashed in an instant, and the Ice Hawk identified the direction and chased after the adventurer team.

Luke followed the team forward, past the neck and into the abdominal cavity.

This is an extremely open underground space, and we finally saw the remains of the dead dragons.

The remains of the dragons were piled up into a small hill. The remains at the bottom were completely petrified into ordinary stones, and upwards were the different states of death of dragons at different time periods. On the top layer were several newly dead dragons, whose bodies had not yet shown signs of decay or petrification, lying there as if they were just asleep.

Get rich!

This is the common feeling of all adventurers.

The dragon's entire body is a treasure! Not to mention how much wealth a newly dead dragon can bring, even those dragon bones that have not yet petrified are extremely valuable alchemical materials.

And it seems that there are no guards here, so you can take as much as you want.

Why is there no guard at such an important place? You know, there is an iron rule for adventurers: the greater the wealth, the higher the danger. I have not encountered any serious danger along the way, and now entering the Dragon Tomb is as easy as shopping.

This is totally against common sense.

Although the adventurers were amazed at what they saw, no one approached the mountain of dragon corpses, fearing that something might suddenly jump out.

Eiffel also felt that the task was too easy and he was not worth the 11 million Reichsmarks.

"Agent Luke, we have found the Dragon Tomb. Go get whatever you want, and we will escort you back to Jinjing Town."

Eiffel wants Luke to go to Lei.

If there is danger, he will die.

If there was no danger, could he take more by himself than eleven people?

Luke seemed unaware of Eiffel's little trick as he walked up the mountain of dragon corpses.

The adventurers stared at him closely, carefully noting every step he took.

Then they saw something fall from Luke.

It was a wood sculpture he had carved on the road, and the prototype of the sculpture was a monitor lizard he had seen in a mud puddle somewhere.

The giant lizard wooden sculpture rolled down the mountain of giant dragon corpses, making a crisp sound when it hit the petrified dragon skeleton.

Soon the giant lizard sculpture rolled to the feet of the adventurers.

Eiffel shouted to Luke who was walking up: "Agent Luke, your wood carving fell down."
