Starting with watering the World Tree for otherworldly survival

"Get up, goblin. Drow elves won't harm you, but if you can't answer my questions, that's another matter!"

With a deep shout, Qin He could terrify the goblin even without using his dragon might or his cultivation level.

"Yes...yes...! Great..."

Despite Qin He's silver dragon appearance, the goblin remained cautious. After all, a silver dragon mixed with drow elves could be a real silver dragon.

The goblins had heard that there existed in the world amorphous dragons that resembled silver dragons. These amorphous dragons often killed any species that mistook them for silver dragons.

“Great Dragon Lord, I, Laiu, will answer all your questions! Please… please ask me anything…”

The goblin was trembling violently; if it hadn't just been resurrected, it probably would have already lost control of its bladder.

“Your Highness Qin He, I think I can guess the origin of this goblin.”

As Trist spoke, she pulled the long, shiny black whip from between her legs!

With a whooshing sound, the long whip lashed the ground beside the goblin, carving scorching, terrifying marks into the dungeon's brickwork.

"This must be a goblin that escaped from the gray dwarf mines. It stole the map and the gold nuggets from the already mined Radiant Dragon from some useless gray dwarf."

Trist, as the strategist and vice-leader of the Black Snow Mercenary Group, was well aware of the true nature of the Grey Dwarves' mining of the Gold Country.

First, the sisters' families had an agreement with the grey dwarf tribe residing in the dungeon. The development of the dungeon was to be a joint effort—

But now, the grey dwarves have gone ahead and started mining resources in Golden Country that belong to the Splendid Dragonflight. This is quite foolish.

The Ice Dragon has already appeared near the Iron Fortress built by the Grey Dwarf tribe in the snowfield. If the Grey Dwarfs provoke the Kulve Taroth, they will undoubtedly be courting death.

Moreover, these grey dwarves have been secretly mining the Goldshire behind the drow elves' backs and monopolizing the profits. This won't be a short-term thing! After all, they already have so much gold that even goblin slaves have the opportunity to steal it.

The presence of the Kulve Taroth in dungeons represents a huge financial windfall for drow elves and grey dwarves. This windfall is now being exploited by the grey dwarves.

“Very well, Trist. Now, I want to hear what this goblin has to say.”

For Qin He, he cared more about the condition of the Radiant Dragon itself.

After all, the so-called Golden Land is merely a benefit derived from the location of Kulve Taroth, relying on its unique magnetic field that attracts precious metals. Wherever Kulve Taroth stands, that is the eternal Golden Land.

Chapter 290 Gold Nuggets and Loli Hunters

The Trisna sisters were furious about the gray dwarves' behavior, and all they had was a map to the Golden City.

There are two maps. One is a map showing how to enter the Golden City through the mine. The other, which the goblin has, is presumably a map showing the layout of the Golden City.

According to the goblin named Leu, they were slaves secretly ordered by the Grey Dwarves and transported to the dungeon to mine the Splendid Dragon's Golden Land.

Besides these goblins, there were also many trolls and lizardmen working as laborers in the mines.

Leu was afraid of being exploited to death in the mine, so when he followed the gray dwarves up to the fifth floor to exchange food resources, he had the idea of ​​escaping.

While the gray dwarf leader was out drinking, it stole the map and gold nuggets from the gray dwarf's sleeping room in the dungeon.

Ordinary gray dwarf underlings are not allowed to carry the mined Radiant Dragon gold nuggets on their person. Presumably, that underling had secretly kept a portion for himself.

After all, underground, precious metals and dragon crystals are the most powerful hard currency. Even if a piece of gold from a Kulve Taroth is just scrap for the Kulve Taroth, it's enough to make a small leader rich.

"What will the Evie family's attitude towards the gray dwarves be next, Trist?"

For Qin He, the Golden Land was indeed a vast treasure. But the Kulve Tale was his true focus. As long as he could take the Kulve Tale with him, no amount of precious metals would be a problem.

But the grey dwarves unilaterally violated the agreement and preemptively mined the Goldshire. They reaped countless benefits behind the drow elves' backs, and now…

Neither the matriarch nor the two eldest daughters of the Ivy family would let this go so easily.

"Your Highness Qin He, if you wish to take action against these gray dwarves, the Ivy family will provide you with all our assistance!"

A sinister glint flashed in Trisna's eyes. The grey dwarves had indeed made the most foolish decision imaginable.

They occupy the volcanic geothermal area in the twelfth-layered snowfield region, working with the red dragon blacksmiths they keep to forge a batch of secret weapons.

Looking back now, it's likely that the so-called secret weapon was forged from Kulve Taroth gold.

The Ice Dragon seeks out volcanic areas, using its own cold air to freeze the magma and forge scales of volcanic glass to store water vapor and create ice out of thin air.

Although she could choose to go to Teostra's territory to make scales, Velkhana now has her eye on the volcano behind the Grey Dwarf Fortress.

With just a little effort in this area, even a god-level Ice Dragon wouldn't be able to defeat the Grey Dwarf.

As Trisna spoke, her blood-red armor slowly pressed against Qin He. The distance between them gradually became intimate, drawing Trisna's repeated glances.

"Your Highness Qin He, perhaps you could use your status as the Dragon Emperor to command that Ice Curse Dragon to completely annihilate the Grey Dwarves. Wouldn't that allow us to obtain their meticulously crafted products?"

Knowing that Trisna wanted to rely on his strength, Qin He held her slender waist, but his hand was on the leather whip around her leg.

"There's no need for that. Even without the Ice Dragon, I have the ability to make these gray dwarves suffer more than the gold they've swallowed."

Qin He picked up the cleaned gold nugget and then took out a cloth bag containing gold coins.

"Goblin, these are yours. Go out of the dungeon and don't let me see your face again."

After dismissing the goblins, Qin He examined the gold nugget belonging to the Radiant Dragon in his hand. Even a piece this small, palm-sized, was worth far more than most precious minerals in the world.

The almost bewitching golden light seemed to allow Qin He to see a beautiful creature swaying underground. A massive body, fiery and radiant.

"Very good, let's move on."

After letting the goblin go, Qin He also tried to make Fei Xue remember the scent of the gold nugget.

After all, the Purple Lightning Cat could quickly explore every corner of the underground palace, and if there were any other gold nuggets, Scarlet Snow should be able to lead them to them as well.

"Meow! Why do I have to smell this... I'm not a dog! Ugh—!"

After struggling around Qin He's feet for a long time, Fei Xue finally agreed to search for a gold nugget with the same aura.

……

Stepping out of the underground palace, the second level is characterized by an even denser jungle.

"Qin He, the underground palace is over there."

Fei Xue gestured with her short cat paws while trying to accumulate lightning magic energy within her body.

A shrill whistle, as loud as thunder and lightning, rang out as Fei Xue actually cleaved through the dense jungle in front of her by spewing out thunderbolts!

This breath attack, with its extremely long range, just cleared enough path for everyone to proceed. Unlike the dragon's breath attack, which has a limited range, Scarlet Snow's attack was a truly long-range strike.

Then, she used magic to make rain fall from the sky, extinguishing the flames that had raged along the entire path. After doing all this, Fei Xue curled up into a ball, wanting Qin He to hold her in his arms.

This kitten caused quite a commotion, so Qin He first deployed a drone to check if any unfortunate adventurers along the way had been melted to death by its breath.

Fortunately, the ruins on the other side of the forest didn't reveal the scene Qin He had imagined. At most, there were only a few unfortunate magical beasts roasted to a crisp.

"Your Highness Qin He, your purple lightning cat is truly amazing!"

Although the Drow elves are a cruel race to slaves and ruthless on the battlefield, they still treat cute things differently.

Trisna was amazed by Frosty's abilities and thought that she would raise a Purple Lightning Cat in the future.

"Of course, Fei Xue is one of a kind."

Enjoying the languid and affectionate rubbing of the purple electric cat in his arms, Qin He carried the trailblazer straight ahead to the next underground palace.

In ordinary forests, it's certainly possible to clear a path like Fei Xue did. However, this method might not be suitable for terrain that is winding and rugged, with ancient trees growing intertwined in the ground.

Unlike the first level, which underwent a dramatic change recently, with deep-level monsters such as Odogaron, Deviljho, and Bazelgeuse surging up one after another, the second level is much calmer.

After scaring away some of the monsters they encountered along the way, Qin He and his group hurried to the underground palace.

The overall atmosphere was quite relaxed, so Qin He released Fei Xue from his arms. He took out his magical communication terminal, intending to contact Yan Liu on the ground.

Three months later is the battle of the young dragons. The Golden Dragon Royal Oriole of the opposing Bronze Dragon tribe is one of the young dragons that Qin He is most optimistic about this time.

They capitalized on the metal dragons' advantageous position to seek trade with caravans. They united the metal dragons to the greatest extent possible, instilling discipline in these young.

The metal dragon cubs, armed with their accumulated gold coins, easily gained the upper hand against the disorganized, colorful dragons.

Although dragons are born with innate inheritances, if they don't read the books, they will still be just ordinary young dragons.

They knew that if they won this battle, it would bring benefits to the tribe.

Besides Huang Ying, who knows how to strive for team victory, Qin He also has high hopes for Chi Dian, who is of mixed red and blue blood.

As a young dragon sent to the Blue Dragon tribe by the colorful princess Bayelu, in a sense... if Bayelu were willing to keep Blazing Lightning by her side, this young dragon would be more noble than all the young dragons in the entire Great Wilderness Dragon Plains.

According to lineage, the Colorful Princess is Tiamat's daughter, created by Tiamat herself.

Hybrid dragons typically undergo changes as they grow up. The stronger bloodline usually dominates the weaker one.

For example, a red dragon and a white dragon hybrid will produce a dragon with predominantly red scales. However, they might also possess some ice magic abilities.

Based on this, there are also red dragons that can breathe freezing breath.

However, no one knows what kind of power Chidian possesses. Perhaps Bayel will keep her in her red and blue form.

With the power of the red dragon and the mindset of the blue dragon, Blazing Lightning was able to lead these not-so-united colored dragons in the tribe to victory.

The call connected, and Yan Liu's screen was quickly projected onto the screen.

"Qin He! That's great! You finally remembered to call me—"

Yanliu was now lying in the bushes, still in her dragon girl form. Chidian was also hiding there.

One is a red-blue hybrid, while the other is a cub that already possesses the ability to revert to its ancestral red dragon form.

In terms of pure physical strength, Flame Glaze is even superior to Radiant Lightning. If it weren't for her skillful fighting techniques and the magic she had learned, Radiant Lightning might not have been able to defeat the powerful Flame Glaze.

It's no wonder that Yan Liu had such an arrogant and domineering personality as a child, having inherited this ancestral red dragon bloodline from Yan Ling.

After all, with just a little effort, one can stand atop the heads of most giant dragons. Yan Liu's arrival has disrupted the young dragons' leisurely routine.

Several powerful young dragons, led by Chidian, are undergoing intensive training to develop their potential and awaken their bloodline to revert to their ancestral form.

"Good morning, Your Highness Qin He and Your Highness Xiu Xiu."

Chidian was quite polite, and she was equally beautiful enough to charm anyone. To better disguise herself, she hid in the bushes with Yanliu.

She wore a simple dress, and her long, fiery red hair had gradient blue ends; it wasn't styled in any particular way.

Upon noticing the presence of two drow elf warriors in Qin He's view, Blazing Lightning immediately became alert. However, given Qin He's abilities, perhaps... the two drow were guests under his control.

Therefore, the fiery lightning, suppressing the red dragon's violent nature, did not bare its teeth or roar at the drow elves.

Such a simple detail was enough for Qin He to nod in approval of her performance.

Are you hunting?

Qin He knew that what he needed to hide the two strongest young dragons under the bushes was definitely not ordinary prey.

"Yes, we've heard that humans pay high prices for rare creatures. So we're planning to capture some to make them willingly part with their gold coins."

Flameliu found a usable projectile in the Blue Dragon tribe's hunting grounds. After attaching a net to the projectile, they planned to capture a rare bird called the Little Blue Song for trade.

Qin He had a strong impression of the little blue bird. He remembered that this bird was quite rare, with a beautiful voice and rather beautiful tail feathers.

However, the plan didn't go smoothly. Some of the young dragons flew around foolishly, scaring away the little blue dragons that were originally in the forest.

There were also some even dumber baby dragons who, after finally catching Little Blue Song, roasted and ate it.

Left with no other choice, Yanliu sent the bunch of good-for-nothings back to their tribe and, together with Chidian, went to capture Xiaolange.

"Hehe~ Qin He, listen!"

Lowering her voice, Yanliu was quite excited. Although she wasn't fond of these birds, she could exchange them for a lot of gold coins from humans.

Sure enough, their strategy of waiting patiently was quite effective. Little Blue Song's beautiful melody soon echoed through the forest.

I quietly watched Yanliu and Chidian as they captured the rare birds. Yanliu was doing quite well among the young dragons, after all, she not only had the bloodline of a red dragon, but also Qin He's support.

Furthermore, Qin He entrusted Yan Liu with the authority to distribute the Golden Fire Dragon scales. Those truly intelligent young dragons would surely choose to obey her commands.

Even if some green dragons are jealous of this power and wealth, they still have to consider whether they can defeat Flame Glaze, who has learned to fight.

Her fully awakened brute strength alone ranks among the top in the young dragons.

Just a few days ago, Yanliu in the basement couldn't even get venison for half a day. Now she has made such rapid progress, which is truly amazing.

Chapter 291 The Cooperative Hunt of the Baby Dragon Loli

Above the clouds, a swift silver shadow trailing a dazzling red tail of flame tore through the sky and hurtled toward the Great Wilderness Dragon Plains.

"After delivering this item, I'll also go and visit the old guy from Blue Dragon's side."

A woman traveling at incredible speed through the air is not just about having a beautiful figure.

Her light, silver scale armor, as well as the wing-claw nozzles that propelled her flight and emitted dragon energy, all proclaimed her identity.

The ancient dragon known as the Silverwing Demon, the Sky Comet, possesses flight speeds that easily break the sound barrier. Even the scales it sheds during flight are capable of destroying villages or towns upon impact.
