They walked towards the simple stove on the side. The stove was prepared when they entered the dungeon before. Although it was simple, it was enough to cope with such a situation.
Margaret took out a few pieces of fresh meat from the package. The color of the meat looked good, and even in this dim environment, it was obvious that it was carefully selected. Audrey was looking for spices on the side. Her brows were slightly furrowed, and her eyes were focused on searching the package. She was muttering in a low voice: "It should be here...ah, I found it." There was a hint of joy on her face.
Margaret put the meat on the stove and started roasting it. She turned the meat over skillfully, her eyes fixed on the changes in the meat. The meat gradually sizzled under the licking of the flames, and the fat began to seep out and drip onto the flames, making a slight crackling sound.
Audrey ground the spices finely and sprinkled them evenly on the meat. Instantly, a rich aroma wafted out. The aroma quickly spread in this closed underground space, causing everyone to take a deep breath. Margaret showed a satisfied smile on her face. She turned her head and looked at everyone with a little pride in her eyes. She said, "Although it's a little simple, it should help everyone recover some strength." Audrey also nodded in agreement, her eyes sparkling, and her eyes were full of anticipation as she looked at the barbecue.
Sodros and Rosaline walked to the back and began to pack up and count the spoils of this battle.
The situation in the dungeon on the 47th floor is extremely complicated. The map here is like a huge maze. Every step you take may lead to new forks and unknown dangers.
The higher you go, the more obvious this complexity becomes, and it is completely different from the previous floors.
In the past, it might take one or two days to complete a floor, but now it often takes a week or even half a month. Moreover, there are too many emergencies here to cope with. The dungeons after the 40th floor are full of variables, almost all of which are random events.
Therefore, before entering the dungeon, they must be fully prepared and bring enough supplies and various tools to deal with emergencies.
The complex situation also brought rich output, and the ground was filled with various items. Good things were mixed with a lot of useless garbage, which had to be carefully sorted out.
Rosalyn squatted on the ground, her eyes carefully scanning each object.
Her fingers gently fiddled with the items, separating the useful from the useless.
Sodros was doing the same thing not far away.
From time to time he would pick up an object, examine it carefully, and then decide whether to keep it.
Rosalyn was cleaning up and throwing away the useless things.
Her movements were quick and decisive. She threw aside the useless sticks, the dark creature's underwear, the fusion monster's bra, etc. without hesitation.
There was no expression on her face, she was just focused on the task at hand.
The situation was similar on Sodros's side. He looked at the piles of items in front of him, sighed softly, and thought to himself that this was truly a huge project.
He also began to choose carefully, staring at the items closely, not missing any details.
As the cleanup progressed, the items on the ground gradually decreased.
Rosaline and Suo ShuqunjiǔLiulingyi'er㈥er⑦0deros also slowly approached each other.
As Rosalyn was picking up the last item on the ground, Sodros was also reaching out to take it.
Their hands accidentally touched each other, and Rosalin's hand covered the back of Sodros's hand.
Rosalin's face instantly turned red, and she quickly retracted her hand as if she had been burned. There was a trace of panic in her eyes, and she did not dare to look at Sodros.
This sudden action shocked Rosalyn herself.
This was not the first time Rosaline had come into contact with the other party. When they had fought side by side in the past, they would occasionally have physical contact, but those times were just simple contacts between comrades-in-arms, and there had never been such a strange feeling as this moment.
However, for some reason, this contact made her heart beat faster, as if she were electrocuted. A tingling sensation quickly spread from her fingertips to her whole body, making her feel excited. Her face instantly turned red, her eyes were full of panic and shyness, and she didn't dare to look at Sodros's expression.
Her breathing became rapid and her mind was in a mess, as if countless small drums were beating.
Rosalin tried to calm herself down, but her pounding heart wouldn't obey her.
Her fingers trembled slightly, and she wanted to pull them away from the back of Sodros's hand, but she seemed to be restrained by an invisible force, and for a moment she could not move at all.
After a brief silence, Sodros cleared his throat to break the awkward atmosphere. His voice was a little unnatural, and he said, "This... this thing doesn't look useful, so let's throw it away." He looked at the object, but couldn't help but glance at Rosaline out of the corner of his eye.
Rosalyn nodded and whispered, "Well, yes." Her voice was very soft, as if she was afraid of disturbing something.
After Sodros threw the object away, he didn't know what to say.
He scratched his head and looked away, but his mind was still thinking about the touch just now.
At this time, Margaret's voice came: "Dinner is ready, everyone come and eat." Everyone heard the voice and walked towards Margaret and Audrey. Sodros and Rosalin followed behind, but the atmosphere between them seemed to have changed slightly. They walked a little slowly, Rosalin lowered her head, and Sodros looked at her from time to time.
Everyone gathered around the makeshift dining table and Margaret distributed the roast to everyone.
The aroma of the barbecue made everyone's stomach growl.
Audrey smiled and said, "Everyone, hurry up and eat. We need to rest after eating to prepare to deal with the boss." Everyone picked up the barbecue and started eating. Sodros took a bite of the barbecue, and the delicious taste of the meat spread in his mouth. He closed his eyes in satisfaction.
Rosaline was also eating barbecue, but her eyes kept looking at Sodross, and her heart was still thinking about what had just happened.
Chapter 340: What? You’re pregnant?!
On Dragon Island, after Held finished today's tasks, he set out on his journey home.
Dragon Island's daily affairs have never been much, after all, the number of dragons is rare, and there is not much need for internal management affairs, most of them are external affairs. After handling these affairs, the remaining time seems particularly long.
Held often either sat in the office doing nothing, staring blankly ahead, or walked outside, slowly walking in the sunshine, enjoying the warmth. His days were very leisurely.
When the afterglow of the sun began to shine on the land of Dragon Island, Held estimated that the time was about right, and slowly walked towards home.
His pace was neither fast nor slow, and each step was filled with the leisure unique to Dragon Island.
Dragon Island is very big, but now it seems extremely deserted, and there are almost no people to be seen along the way.
The once bustling streets are now deserted, and the shops that were once filled with all kinds of strange and exotic goods have now disappeared, leaving only the ruins telling of the past prosperity in the wind.
Occasionally, a trace of loneliness would flash across Held's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by the indifference unique to the residents of Dragon Island.
When he returned to the door of his house, Held heard some noise coming from inside the house.
He tilted his head slightly, his ears twitching slightly, and listened carefully.
He knew that there was no one at home. There were only so many people on Dragon Island now, and there would be no such creature as thieves.
Then, there is only one possibility, his daughter Sigrid has returned.
Thinking of this, the corners of Held's mouth rose slightly unconsciously, and a glimmer of joy flashed in his eyes.
He quickened his pace and reached out to push open the door.
Sigrid had been waiting at home for a long time.
She sat on the wooden chair, her hands unconsciously folded on her slightly bulging belly, her eyes looking towards the door from time to time, wondering what her father's expression would be when he saw her come back and heard the news of her pregnancy.
There was a hint of nervousness and anticipation in her eyes, and her fingers unconsciously moved lightly on her clothes.
Soon, Held entered the house.
He deliberately pretended to know nothing. As soon as he entered the room, he was startled by his daughter who suddenly appeared in front of him. His body leaned back slightly and his eyes widened suddenly.
But soon, he reacted, his face was full of smiles, his eyes narrowed into slits, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes became a little deeper.
He walked forward, gently patted Sigrid's shoulder, and asked with a smile in his voice: "Why did you come back so soon? The world outside is so big, you probably haven't seen enough."
Sigrid shook her head slowly, her eyes sparkling with excitement, and began to tell her father about what she had seen and heard outside.
There was a hint of reminiscence in her eyes, and her voice became lively as she spoke.
"Father, do you know? The world outside is really complicated and interesting. I met an evil nobleman. As soon as he saw me with his lustful eyes, he had evil intentions and wanted to possess me by force." Sigrid frowned, with a disgusted expression on her face and a spark of anger flashing in her eyes. "How could I let him bully me? I destroyed his family directly. Under my magic, the castle of that family collapsed in an instant like a fragile house of cards, with stones flying everywhere and flames rising into the sky. The terrified screams of those nobles still echo in my ears." Sigrid's mouth corners slightly raised, with a hint of disdain.
"But, the king actually wanted to vent his anger on behalf of that noble young master. He gathered a large number of soldiers and wanted to capture me. Humph, I'm not afraid of him."
Sigrid crossed her arms in front of her chest, her eyes full of provocation. "I rushed directly to the imperial city of their kingdom. My magic was like a surging tide, sweeping across the entire imperial city. Under the impact of my magic, huge cracks appeared on the tall city walls, and then they collapsed. The buildings in the city were also destroyed by my magic, and those soldiers fled everywhere like headless flies." Sigrid had a smug smile on her face, and her eyes were shining with pride.
"After that, I went to the dungeon. Father, it's a magical place." Sigrid's eyes sparkled with curiosity, and she leaned forward slightly. "The drops inside look very good. Especially the treasure chests. Once you open them, you can get a lot of good things. I also found some magic props in there. Those props exude mysterious magic fluctuations, which feel very powerful."
Sigrid paused, a sly light suddenly flashed in her eyes, and then she smiled and said to her father: "Father, I have one last thing to tell you, guess what it is."
Held stroked his chin, with a thoughtful look in his eyes. He thought for a while and asked tentatively: "Did you discover a new relic?"
Sigrid shook her head.
Held thought about it again and asked again: "Did you meet someone and become friends with him?"
Still Sigrid shook her head.
Held frowned and continued to guess: "Could it be that you have found a new magic element?"
Sigrid still shook her head, and the smile on her lips became more obvious.
Held's novel Jiu Wu Ling Yi Ling Jiu smiled helplessly, spread his hands and said: "I really can't guess it, you better tell me."
Sigrid took a deep breath, with a hint of nervousness and anticipation in her eyes, and the smile on her face became a little shy. She slowly raised her head, looked into her father's eyes, and whispered, "Father, I'm pregnant."
Held's eyes widened instantly, filled with shock and disbelief.
His mouth opened slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't find the right words for a moment. His body trembled slightly, and the muscles on his face became a little stiff.
After a long while, he seemed to come back to his senses and asked again: "What did you say?"
Sigrid looked at her father's expression and felt a little nervous, but she answered clearly again: "Father, I am pregnant."
This time, Held heard it clearly.
His face was still filled with shock and disbelief, and his eyes were fixed on Sigrid, as if he was trying to read from her face whether this was a joke or not.
His lips trembled slightly, his hands clenched and unclenched unconsciously, and he staggered back a small step.
He never thought that his daughter would bring back such news after going out. His mind was in a mess and he didn't know how to deal with this sudden situation.
Chapter 341: The Little Fox's Crisis
Inside the house, Herder and his daughter Sigrid sat in the living room. The living room was filled with a dull atmosphere, and the afternoon sun shone through the window onto the ground, forming patches of light. Herder frowned, his eyes full of melancholy.
His fingers unconsciously tapped lightly on the armrest, making a rhythmic tut-tut sound.
Why... my daughter got pregnant after just one trip? Held felt like there was a huge stone blocking his heart. His lips trembled slightly, and he hesitated to speak.
Although he felt a little happy deep down that he was pregnant, after all, it meant the continuation of the race, but it all happened too suddenly.
His eyes were fixed on Sigrid's abdomen, a mixture of worry and confusion in his eyes.
At the same time, he was also worried about the child to be born. If the other party was not a dragon, the probability of giving birth to other hybrid dragons was very high, which also made him worried.
His eyebrows were twisted into a knot and the muscles on his face were twitching slightly.
After all, Sigrid was the daughter of the Dragon King, and giving birth to a hybrid dragon would still make him feel a little embarrassed.
He took a deep breath, as if to let out all the troubles in his heart.
Held began to ask about his daughter's situation. He leaned forward, staring into Sigrid's eyes with a serious expression. "Daughter, you have to tell me, who is the other party? What race?" His voice was a little hoarse, and his speech was slow and heavy.
Sigrid lowered her head slightly, her hands unconsciously tugging at the corners of her clothes, and a blush appeared on her face.
Held then asked, "What are his qualifications? Is he a strong man? Are you in love with him?" There was a hint of anxiety in his eyes, hoping to find some comfort in his daughter's answer.
Sigrid began to explain. She raised her head, her eyes gleaming with a different light. "Father, his name is Thordros. From the perspective of our dragon race, he is not strong now, but his potential is very high. He can become a very strong person." Sigrid's voice was very gentle, as if she was afraid of disturbing something.
She twirled her hair gently with her fingers and continued, "Even though he's a human, he makes me feel very different. It makes me feel very different." The corners of her mouth rose slightly, as if she was recalling something beautiful.
Maybe it was the madness of that night.
After hearing what his daughter said, Held was helpless and overwhelmed.
He leaned back in his chair, rubbing his temples with his hands, his eyes closed, his face full of fatigue. "Ah..." He sighed deeply.
After all, he was captured by a human being who was not very strong at that. How could he not be worried?
With a wry smile on his face, he shook his head.
But there was nothing that could be done now. Dragon women could not have abortions when they were pregnant. They could only wait until she gave birth before making a decision. He opened his eyes, with a look of helplessness and resignation.
After all, the situation was full of variables before Xiaolong was born.
After saying this Sigrid slowly stood up and walked towards her room.
Held looked at his daughter's back as she left, his eyes filled with mixed emotions.
Then he turned his head and looked at the sunset outside. The afterglow of the sunset dyed the sky blood red, just like the boredom and worry in his heart at the moment.
As for Sodros, after coming out of the dungeon, he dragged his tired body back to his residence.
Nearly half a month of adventuring in the dungeon left his body extremely tired.
Almost as soon as his eyes closed he fell into a deep sleep.
But the next day, the little fox Rosalyn contacted Sodros and said she had something to talk to him about.
After receiving the news, Sodros simply tidied himself up and went to the agreed coffee shop. The coffee shop was filled with the aroma of coffee, people were talking in low voices, and occasionally there was the crisp sound of porcelain colliding. Sodros saw Rosaline at a window seat.
She sat there with her head bowed, her hands on her knees, her shoulders shaking slightly.
When Sodros saw the other person's sad face, he knew that something must have gone wrong. After spending so much time together, Sodros had a clearer understanding of her.
Sodros walked over and sat down opposite Rosaline, and asked softly, "What happened?" His eyes were filled with concern.
Rosalin lowered her head, not looking at Sodros. She was silent for a while, then slowly said, "The orcs asked me to go back. They have a task for me." Her voice was a little worried, as if she was trying hard to suppress her emotions.
