Silver Dragons are spawning in this dungeon!

Chapter 83 The Decapitated Dragon

It doesn't matter if he guessed correctly; what matters is that this mine doesn't belong to him.

Another dragon was the first to discover the Xigangnashi ore vein.

Mok, the copper dragon, looked at the fiery red stones mined by the kobolds in front of him, though these stones held no appeal for him.

However, for fire-type dragons like red or gold dragons, it is a deadly temptation, as it can temporarily enhance their breath and promote their growth.

There are two types of West Steel Stone: a red stone with fire attribute and a blue stone with ice attribute.

Two extremes: one is flammable and explosive, the other is extremely heat-absorbing.

In the Casa Empire, West Steelstone can be used to forge alchemical weapons with fire or ice attributes.

In the Blackhearth Empire, redstone can be used to forge metals and also to improve their properties.

This is one of the benefits of pioneering; the basic substance of this world is magic, and all kinds of ores are formed by magic under specific conditions.

Land that has not been mined for eight thousand years will sprout many new mineral veins and newly born underground cities.

Pushing aside the branches and leaves in front of him, Reiss saw the open-air mine pit.

Then it quickly shrank back.

He saw kobolds pushing mine carts and hauling stones out of the mine below.

Without stopping or explaining to the adventurers, he turned and ran.

He didn't know why, but he just felt like he had been exposed.

Sure enough, he had only escaped a few hundred meters when a dragon's roar came from behind him.

Given Moke's level, discovering this group of weak adventurers would be a piece of cake; a team of over a hundred people would still make quite a commotion if they moved.

Mok now harbors extreme hatred for these humans from the Casa Empire. This stems from the long-standing feud between the Crimson Copper Dragon Clan and the Casa Empire, and Mok's inexplicable beheading a few years ago.

So after being replaced as the commander at the front, he went straight to cause trouble for those adventurers and happened to come across this mine.

With his innate talent, the metal dragon clearly sensed the ore contained below, which is why he stationed himself here and commanded the kobolds to start mining.

Now that adventurers had actually gotten close to him, he grinned and roared as he approached.

The adventurers then realized that Reese had abandoned them and fled.

The adventurers panicked and began to flee, scattering in all directions.

Mok looked at the group of adventurers with satisfaction. He did not slaughter them all at once, but killed them one by one.

The dragon claw pinned a mage to the ground, and the mage unleashed his ultimate move: a third-circle spell!

Fireball!

The fireball struck Mok squarely on the head, but failed to even break through his defenses; his dragon scales remained firmly in place.

Dragons have high magic resistance, and their life levels are too far apart.

With a wicked grin, Mok used the sharp tip of his other dragon claw to slice across the mage's neck. With a thud, the mage's head fell directly to the ground, his eyes still filled with fear.

He stomped on the mage's body, then turned and caught up with another adventurer, repeating the same move.

First, make the adventurer unleash their strongest attack to strike you, then suppress them with absolute power, and finally take their head.

Reis's quick thinking saved him; he didn't need to be faster than Mok, he only needed to be faster than Mok's killing speed.

Of the more than one hundred adventurers, only one-fifth managed to escape back to Chishui City.

Mok became famous after that battle, and his name spread throughout Redwater City. He was a demonic bronze dragon who had a penchant for beheading adventurers.

They also gave Moke a title: the Decapitated Dragon.

This beheading marked the end of an era, and the great pioneering era of the Koso Hills became a thing of the past.

Although Reis didn't go bankrupt, the compensation demanded by the Adventurers' Guild afterward still cost him a lot of money.

He felt that Chishui City was unlucky and prepared to leave it, to leave this place of sorrow.

I must say, Baron Jeffrey's concubines were quite a treat.

Reis, with Lina in his arms, prepared to use the teleportation array to leave Redwater City.

He had several hundred gold coins left, enough for him to live a life of luxury without any shame.

However, when he stepped into the teleportation array, the previously bright teleportation array dimmed.

The garrison of Chishui City rushed over and dispersed the area around the teleportation array.

Furthermore, the city lord's mansion issued a notice.

Now, entering Chishui City is permitted, but leaving is not!

Ries and the other adventurers who used the teleportation array were all dragged out of it.

At the same time, the crowd was separated, and a passage was opened in the middle.

Reis initially thought that the teleportation array needed repair, and that it would be usable once it was repaired.

But the next moment, the teleportation array, which had gone dark, suddenly burst into a bright light.

It was as if they had been gathering their strength just now, all for this moment of teleportation.

It seemed like a lot of things were being transmitted, which is why it emitted such a blinding light.

From the light, a cavalryman emerged at the head, followed by figures clad in light armor.

The ranks were perfectly aligned, and an aura of menace emanated from them, causing the adventurers nearby to avoid eye contact.

These soldiers were far from being elite, and some were only about as strong as these adventurers.

However, these are all veterans, soldiers who have just survived the battle of Blackrock Fortress, even though they are only fit to be linemen.

They went to the battlefield to fill the huge gaps between those elite troops, preventing enemy forces from silently breaking through to the rear from those places.

Interspersed among them were huge engineering machines, which were to be used to build barracks and defensive fortifications later.

In Chishui City, a remote border town of the empire, many people had never even left the area around Chishui City, let alone seen such enormous machinery. They all stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

These advance troops were line-filling soldiers during the war, but now that the war hasn't even started, they are engineering troops.

Only then did Reis realize that something terrible was going to happen; it seemed he couldn't leave, as Chishui City was completely under lockdown.

Without orders from the military, no one could leave Chishui City; otherwise, they would be considered deserters.

Reis tried to slip away from the crowd, but before he could take two steps, he was blocked by a group of figures.

They were the enforcement team from Chishui City before, and now these adventurers can't even leave.

Trapped here, other adventurers soon tried to leave as well, only to be stopped.

The crowd gradually became noisy. There was a berserker with a life level of twelve. He was tall and strong, like a black bear. He had a bad temper and his adventure group was quite famous in Chishui City.

He stretched out his large hand and pushed towards one of the law enforcement officers, trying to force his way out, but his hand hadn't even touched the officer's body.

The enforcement team immediately used an American-style Iaijutsu, pulled out a laser hand cannon, and fired a shot directly at the large hand.

The berserker's hand and forearm exploded, but the matter was far from over. A chain reaction ensued, with the rest of the law enforcement team aiming their laser hand cannons at the berserker and pulling the triggers.

In just a moment, before the berserker could even surrender, he was blown up into berserker sauce.
