Chapter 173 Surprise

A crimson dragon lay on the crater, its ferocious scales rising and falling with its breath, flickering with unpredictable firelight.

A group of dragon-vein kobolds, each over 1.5 meters tall, were wielding hard, pointed hammers, leaping and bounding around the dragon, swinging their hammers with great force, creating a clanging sound.

Spending a long time in volcanic lava causes some hard material formed from cooled magma to get stuck in the crevices of Thor's scales and in the flame-like thickets of thorns.

Some of them will be melted by the high temperature on Thor's body and slide off his scales; others will be shaken off by him shaking his body.

However, some exceptionally hard and heat-resistant metals may stubbornly remain, requiring some help to clean them.

What these dragon vein kobolds are doing right now is precisely this task.

The kobolds carefully collected the broken pieces. Although they looked like some kind of impurity, they were substances that could withstand the high temperature of Thor's body and adhere to it for a long time. How could they be ordinary things?

They are metals drawn from the depths of the earth by Thor's magical field, mostly copper and flame iron—the former being a relatively common fire-attribute metal, while the latter is much rarer and naturally possesses the ability to gather fire elements.

These things are even an important source of wealth for ordinary red dragons.

Although Thor looked down on this little bit of food, even a mosquito's leg is meat, so he naturally didn't intend to waste it.

The ping-pong sound continued for a long time. Thor's heavy eyelids covered his molten gold pupils, as if he were asleep. However, in his normally dark field of vision, a large number of images were flashing.

A giant eagle with black feathers and a red beak soared in the high sky, its sharp eyes looking down at the two blue dragon shadows below.

Whether to say that Leilia and her companions were lucky or unlucky is hard to say, but not long after they stepped into this territory, they were discovered by the black-feathered eagles he had released into the air.

The agile raptor followed the two blue dragons all the way, watching them slaughter a small group of goblins and then head straight for his lair with two of their blood relatives.

Seeing their aggressive stance and their head-on approach, Thor was somewhat surprised and didn't understand what they were up to.

Although not much time has passed since they parted ways at the Endless Glacier, Thor's tremendous increase in strength has made him subconsciously forget about the blue dragons and no longer regard them as a threat.

So at first he didn't realize that the two blue dragons were there to capture him. Once he realized it, he grinned and couldn't help but want to laugh out loud.

He originally planned to wait until his territory was more developed before going to the wilderness to kill the old dragon and directly take over its territory and its retinue.

Unexpectedly, a few of his ignorant underlings came to his door first. Well, he might as well play along with them.

A surge of malice welled up in Thor's mind, and from his gaping maw, he revealed a series of ferocious fangs, each the size of a giant banana and gleaming with a metallic sheen.

He flicked his tail, shooing away the dragon-blooded kobolds that were busy on his body, and gave the order in a low growl.

"Two blue reptiles are coming. Pass down the order: do not reveal my presence. Call that old bear and have some fun with them first, then let them break into the volcano. I want to see the expressions on their faces."

After saying that, Thor took a step back into the volcanic lava to give the two blue dragons a surprise.

Just then, his gaze fell upon Alan, who had transformed back into human form, and a new idea suddenly came to him.

They were just two blue dragons that had barely reached adulthood; killing them would be a piece of cake for him.

But wouldn't doing it this way be a waste of resources? In this fantasy world, magic is the primary productive force, and true dragons, as naturally magical creatures, are like heavy engineering machinery.

To maximize profits, you should first chain them up and drive them like livestock. If they obey, keep them; if they dare to resist, skin them alive and squeeze every last bit of value out of them.

However, doing so would definitely require some magical means.

Unfortunately, although his strength is already quite powerful due to the purification of his bloodline and the enhancement of various monster templates, he is still young and lacks experience. In terms of magic, he currently only knows awakened spells.

But this golden dragon was different; it had used all sorts of spells skillfully during their previous battle.

All sorts of thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, and the next moment Thor chuckled and said to Alan.

"Little mudskipper, you must have heard what I just said. Two blue dragons are about to attack my territory. As my servant, shouldn't you do your part?"

A hot breath accompanied by a deep voice rushed towards her, causing Alan's golden hair to fly backward.

The mocking address and tone infuriated her, and her beautiful eyebrows shot up: "Damn dragon! Don't call me little mudskipper, I have my own name!"

What does the Blue Dragon attacking your territory have to do with me? It's just dogs fighting, and I'd be happier if they both suffered heavy losses!

Upon hearing this, Thor slowly shook his head, a look of disappointment on his face.

"Really? I thought that as the leader of the metal dragons, the Golden Dragon, you would walk the path of justice with impartiality, but I didn't expect you to be just a guy who only cares about satisfying your own selfish desires."

As a champion of justice, shouldn't you stop evil dragons when you see them wreaking havoc? Don't forget, it's your duty!

As he spoke, Thor flipped his claws, and a crystal nearly 10 centimeters long, as thick as a wrist, and gleaming with a golden luster appeared out of thin air in his palm.

"Here's what we'll do! As long as you help me catch them and do a little something extra, this will be your reward."

Pure fire and earth energy flowed quietly within this Radiant Dragonstone, and its dazzling appearance immediately captivated Alan's attention.

She began to hesitate. Punishing evil was indeed within her authority, and dealing with the two unruly blue dragons would not violate her own path of good.

As for whether doing this would benefit another evil dragon, that doesn't seem to be something I should worry about.

Moreover, doing so would cause this despicable red dragon to lose its wealth. For a dragon that values ​​wealth more than life, wouldn't that be equivalent to a severe revenge?

As the scales in her heart began to tip, her hand, as white and tender as jade, slowly reached out.

Thor didn't give her any time to think it over. Seeing that she was interested, he simply shoved the Radiant Dragon Stone from his claws into her hand.

"Great, it's settled then. I wish us a pleasant collaboration!"

"Come with me now, let's hide first and not disturb those blue dragons. Those cowards aren't very brave, we don't want to scare them away."
