Chapter 337: The Dragon Cave with Brilliant Gold Coins

Nicholas first glanced at Xiao Hei, then turned his head to look at Xingluo. Only in human society would they occasionally transform into human form, but compared to the human appearance, they were still accustomed to their current huge size.

Xingluo spoke first: "I'm worried about Xiaohei coming here alone."

Xingluo was about to say something again when Nicholas interrupted her next words. He knew the arrogant dragons around him too well. The more humans talked, the more disgusted they would become, and it might even provoke attacks from a few hot-tempered dragons.

"I understand. You and Xiao Hei come here." Nicholas took Xingluo and Xiao Hei away. The dragons finally withdrew their gazes from here and began to sleep again. Due to their huge size, the dragons required a lot of energy. If they wanted to improve their strength, they had to use sleep to reduce consumption. Even so, they needed to devour a lot of magic cores. Xiao Hei was one of them, but his appetite was a little bigger. However, his strength improved very quickly.

Xingluo was like an ant behind the huge body of the dragon. Xiao Hei's size also grew rapidly after arriving at Dragon Island. Although he was still not as big as Nicholas, the size of an adult Xiao Hei was already quite large among the dragons.

Nicholas's cave is on top of a cliff, a place full of mystery and legends, located among the mountains of Dragon Island, not in the underground world. This cave is huge and deep, as if it is a work of art carved by the volcano using natural forces. The entrance of the cave is covered by vines and ancient giant trees. Only at certain times and angles can the sunlight penetrate the gaps and sprinkle on the huge rocks and spreading moss, but the cave is not dark. There are a lot of glowing gems here, just casually spread on the ground.

Entering the cave, Xingluo felt a heavy and ancient atmosphere. The cave ceiling was high, and the stone walls on both sides were covered with strange stalactites and stalagmites. They had been formed over thousands of years and were in various shapes, like natural sculptures. The light in the cave was dim, and only the faint sound of dripping water and the occasional sound of wind broke the silence.

Deep in this deep cave, there lived the most powerful and mighty dragon in the entire Dragon Island. His lair was built with precious gems, gold and silver treasures, and spoils accumulated over generations, and it was shining with dazzling light. Xingluo couldn't help but smile when he saw this. It seemed that all dragons couldn't avoid liking shiny things. The dragon's breath made the air in the cave hot and humid, and from time to time there was a smell of sulfur, which made people feel awe for the dragon's territory.

The dragon cave is a place that is both daunting and desirable, full of unknown and fantastic charm. It is the destination for adventurers seeking glory and wealth, and it is also the territory of powerful creatures. Xingluo has always been yearning for dragons, and this is the first time he has seen a dragon cave on the cliff, and he is somewhat excited.

This was also Xiao Hei's first time to a dragon's cave. Unlike Xing Luo who was very excited, he looked at it more carefully because he didn't know what a dragon cave should look like. He would have his own dragon's cave in the future, so of course he had to learn how to arrange it. He was a little confused when he first came to Dragon Island, but now he had a clear goal. He wanted to travel around the entire Dragon Island and learn how they arranged their dragon's caves. Then he would build a dragon's cave that looked better than theirs and shock all the dragons.

Xingluo naturally didn't know what Xiaohei was thinking at this time. He was also shocked by the glittering ocean of gold coins inside. How long would it take for a giant dragon to roam among the gold coins?

After returning to the dragon cave, Nicholas seemed to be relieved. The atmosphere was not as solemn as before. Even he could not oppose the entire dragon clan of Dragon Island, so if anyone attacked Xingluo just now, he didn't know if he could stop them all. Other dragons didn't know, but he knew that Xiaohei and Xingluo's lives were connected. Attacking Xingluo was equivalent to attacking his child, so he was naturally very nervous.

"Xingluo, why did you come here?" Nicholas asked directly.

"If I say that I really have an instinctive curiosity about the dragon clan, is this reason enough?" Xingluo said.

"You are a mage, is this just a small matter worth risking your life for?" Nicholas said with some disbelief.

Xingluo knew that this matter could not be explained. The illusion of the dragon was related to his previous memories. At that time, he had read countless stories about dragons and dungeons. He had dreamed of becoming a dragon's partner since he was a child. If he had the opportunity to see the dragon's treasure, it would be a dream come true. With Xiao Hei and now visiting the dragon cave, he suddenly felt that this world was a little unreal, just like his dreams, so unreal.

Xingluo took a deep breath, and the intake of oxygen allowed him to see everything around him clearly again. The only way to describe this place is the splendor of gold coins. In addition to gold, the dragon clan also likes shiny gems, but these gems are all magical cores full of magic power. The energy contained in them is very rich and shocking, and they are all magic cores above level six.

Seeing Xingluo staring at his magic cores, Nicholas said with a smile, "Pick out a few that you can use when you leave. When the dragon race reaches the later stages, it can no longer be improved by magic cores alone."

Xingluo knew that Nicholas wanted her to help Xiao Hei choose the magic cores. After all, Xiao Hei was still growing, so the more magic cores, the better. However, it was not enough to just pursue quantity. Even if the magic cores had few impurities, absorbing too many magic cores of the same level or low level would produce magic resistance, resulting in a worse effect next time. The higher the level of magic cores, the fewer impurities. In the eyes of alchemists, magic beasts were a kind of biological device that could be purified, and the effect was far higher than that of mechanical alchemy.

Therefore, the higher the level of magic core, the less impurities it has, the faster it is absorbed, and the less likely it is to waste the energy inside. Xingluo was not polite. Since the Dragon Clan leader had spoken, the God of Light would not agree if he did not take the opportunity to collect the magic core. Xingluo waved his hand, and a corner of the magic core mountain was instantly gone. Nicholas' eyes twitched when he saw this. This kid was really rude.

Xingluo was not a greedy person. At least now that he was in Dragon Island, he would not dare to do anything too extreme. Nicholas saw Xingluo finally stop and breathed a sigh of relief. He suddenly regretted his decision. Although he no longer needed to use magic cores to practice, these were all his wealth. How could he bear to give them to Xingluo? If Xiaohei was not around at this time, he would have wanted to kill Xingluo with one claw.
