Red Dragon has magic

Chapter 257 Advancement
After finally defeating the male-faced Sphinx, now was the most important step to collect the spoils. Saloves was busy picking out the gemstone on the male-faced Sphinx's forehead, completely ignoring the blood flowing from her body.

Cecilia didn't want to argue with Saloves, she was lying on the ground to rest. She was also seriously injured, but her injuries were mainly internal. The magic roar of the male-faced Sphinx would cause thunder damage, which was not visible on the outside.

"What are you worried about?" Tassela noticed that Leon had a serious expression on his face.

At this point, no matter how unconscious and ignorant Leon was, he knew that he was not a good person, but he had not yet reached the point of killing innocent people.

Regardless of whether the male-faced Sphinx was innocent or not, it was not okay as long as it was blocking the road. Leon did not have any psychological fluctuations about the death of the male-faced Sphinx, but he was quite concerned about the words it said before it died.

"I was just thinking about what the male-faced Sphinx said before he died." Leon replied. He thought that a dying man's words would be good, and the last few words said by the male-faced Sphinx might have some meaning.

"There must be some secret hidden in that mausoleum, and some terrible monster buried there. There is no doubt about that. What the male-faced Sphinx said may not be false. Your worry is not unreasonable..."

Tassela's eyes sparkled. She had always had a spirit of "If I hear the truth in the morning, I can die in the evening", that is, a spirit of courting death. She continued, "If we didn't have that thing, we wouldn't have come."

"Crisis is also an opportunity. Only a place like this is worth mobilizing our forces. Only a place like this can satisfy us." Tassela raised her head and looked at Leon who was standing habitually. "You want a challenge, I want knowledge, and those two guys want treasure."

"Let me say this first, don't misunderstand me..." Leon interrupted, "I just feel itchy, and I never like any challenges. Compared to an equally powerful enemy that I have to work hard to defeat, I would rather have a wooden stake that can record damage and can never be broken."

Tassela gritted her teeth.

"Brother, let's move on." Saloveis finished the search.

"Take out the things you dug out from the male Sphinx. I'll keep them for safekeeping. We'll divide the spoils after we conquer the tomb in front of us." Leon glanced at his sister sideways.

Saloves' muscles tensed and she said, "Mine, that's mine."

"Are you sure?" Leon asked.

"Can you not give it to me?" Saloveis had seen with her own eyes how strong Leon was. Even if ten of them were put together, they would not be his match. Even so, she was reluctant to give it up and made a final effort.

"Of course." Leon said nonchalantly, "It's just that we agreed beforehand that I'm the captain, and anyone who doesn't obey orders will be expelled from the team. All we have to do is separate."

Tassela is easy to talk to, Cecilia is smart enough, but Saloveise is the only one who needs to be properly trained.

Otherwise, Leon was sure that after their only family affection was exhausted, he would sooner or later expel the other party because of his bad character. Anyway, he was not the kind of person who was obsessed with family affection, not a sister-supporting demon. It is better to say that he has always insisted that the grace of raising is not as good as the grace of giving birth, not to mention a little brother-sister affection.

It turned out that Saloves was not hopeless. As a red dragon, it was quite rare for her to be able to take out the spoils she had obtained. Although she kept hesitating, she finally took out a gem and said, "Here you go."

"What else?" Leon waved his hand gently, used the magic of capturing objects, and took the gem from Sarovice's hand. "Nothing can be hidden from my eyes."

"You obviously like money so much, otherwise why did you observe so carefully... How dare you say you don't like money and you are not interested in money? You are so shameless." Saloveis reluctantly took out a gem-studded necklace, which was an ornament on the male Sphinx. "Here, all of it."

"Rules are rules." Leon coughed and said pretentiously, "Of all things in the world, what I give you is yours. If I don't give it to you, you can't rob or steal it."

Saloveise wrinkled her nose and disagreed.

It is not easy to successfully train a red dragon. Leon did not care, he was ready for a long battle.

"I'm your sister." Saloveise said angrily.

"That's the same." Lyon said bluntly.

"I was injured so badly." Saloves spread her wings and showed the wound to Leon. "Even if I don't have any credit, I have worked hard."

"That's because you have low combat power... If it were me, a mere male sphinx, I wouldn't lose a single scale." Leon noticed that Saloveise was glaring at him. "Although it sounds harsh, it's the truth. Whether you are seriously injured or not does not represent the size of your contribution."

“As for such a serious injury…” After all, she is my sister, so I still need to take care of her. Leon took out a bottle of medicine out of thin air, “You have to learn to protect your own body.”

"Apply it on your body." Leon raised his claws and pointed at Sarovice, thinking that he had no means of recovery at all, and he didn't know when he could get a recovery spell through the golden finger reward. He still had a lot of shortcomings.

Leon would not be considerate enough to help Saloveis apply medicine because his attention was now drawn to the front.

With the death of the male-faced Sphinx, the road leading to the mausoleum suddenly became clear. A wide road was mostly covered by yellow sand, and there were many statues and square stone pillars along the road...

"Those stone statues were carved by the ancient fallen empire based on the images of the gods they believed in. They can be seen around the cemetery and in the passages of the pyramids. Once the situation requires, the priests will use powerful spells to awaken those stone statues." Tassera said, "They are the clay golems and stone golems of the ancient fallen empire."

"Will they attack us?" Leon asked.

"It's hard to say." Tassela said, "We'll know when we get closer."

"Those square stone pillars are obelisks, right?" Leon looked at the stone pillars that gradually became smaller from bottom to top and had pointed square pillars. "What are their functions?"

"It has religious effects, as well as amplifying signals, gathering magic power, storing magic power, and so on." Tassera said. She has done a lot of research on ancient fallen empires. After all, she is a blue dragon who has always lived in the desert.

Leon nodded without comment and listened to Tassela talk about the ancient fallen empire.

They were now at the entrance of the mausoleum. The wide road was the Great Walkway, then there was the Obelisk Square, the door that looked like a memorial arch was the Gate of Endless Reincarnation, and finally there was the Pyramid. After entering the door and walking through a long corridor, they reached the main chamber. Many mausoleums had huge spaces underground...

Leon listened with great interest. He originally thought that the pyramids in this world were similar to the pyramids on Earth. In fact, apart from the similarities in appearance, the structures were completely different.

Leon gained a lot of knowledge and couldn't wait to explore the mausoleum and the dungeon. He looked back at Cecilia and Saloveise and asked, "Have you rested well?"

"Okay, I'm fine." Saloveise said and jumped up.

"Did I apply the medicine I gave you?" Leon asked.

"I have applied it. You can see," said Saloves. "All the wounds on my body have scabbed over."

“Give me back the remaining medicine.” Leon stretched out his claws.

"I've used them all up." Saloveise said stiffly.

Leon was sure that even if his sister had used the drug, she had only used part of it. She kept saying that she had used it up because she was planning to steal the drug. He wanted to say something, but he just opened his mouth and closed it again. Forget it, I'm tired, it's just a small thing, I don't bother to care about it.

After a short rest, Leon took the lead and walked up the steps and onto the main trail. As soon as he approached the statues standing on both sides of the main trail, he immediately saw the statues shaking one after another. After making a sound of stone collision, they walked down from the pedestal and silently raised their huge weapons.

The male-faced Sphinx gave way, and this time it was his turn to take action. Leon walked towards the jackal-headed statues and falcon-headed statues, and drew out the Blade of Catastrophic Change out of thin air - he was still used to using that sword - and wanted to open his three-headed, six-armed Dharma body, but he thought he had to use his mental power sparingly, so he held back.

The Cataclysm Blade has the ability to cut through metal and metal, and will always deal a heavy blow when it hits an object. Leon wielded the Cataclysm Blade and easily chopped down a statue.

Leon was at the front, and Tassera, Cecilia and Salovevis cooperated with each other to destroy the statues with ease.

"So weak." Saloves said, "I haven't had enough fun yet."

"Your wound is about to split open, and you haven't had enough fun yet?" Leon complained.

In fact, those statues are equivalent to clay golems and stone golems. They have a high challenge level and many young dragons can defeat them. They shouldn't have been wiped out so badly.

The key point is that those statues have been stored from ancient times to the present, and have been exposed to wind and sun for so many years without any maintenance. They have long been decayed. It is quite amazing that they can still move. Among so many statues, only half of them can move, which greatly reduces their strength.

Leon checked the weapons of the stone golem. The materials of those weapons were ordinary, but the surface was plated with gold to make it look decent. There were more than ten complex patterns and hieroglyphs engraved on them, and no one knew what their function was.

Tassera came here primarily for knowledge, not treasure, and she would stop in front of every inscribed pillar.

In this way, even if the male-faced Sphinx was gone, nothing could be difficult for the four-headed dragon, and everyone's progress was not very fast.

After an hour of procrastination, everyone finally stood in front of the pyramid, ready to break in, but encountered a problem.

The pyramid is quite large, and the entrance is not small either, several meters high and wide. If you are in human form, you can walk freely, but in dragon form you can only enter by crouching and cannot move at all. If you encounter any monster, you can only use biting and breath weapons at most, and it is difficult to even swing your claws.
