Chapter 229: Dragon hunt (3)
Stark had learned how to carve monsters from those specialists in the Adventurer’s Guild.
Though it was part of his plan to become well known, he did learn quite a bit in the end.
That was why it was easy for him to split up this impure blood red dragon.
It was just that while this was happening, the rest of us didn’t have anything to do.
Well, most of us didn’t have anything to do.
There was someone that was able to benefit from this right away.
This impure blood red dragon had quite a bit of dragon blood and it was inevitable that this would spurt out while Stark was carving up the dragon corpse.
That was why Conan was able to start refining his body right away.
"At least hide that one part, is there a need for you to be completely naked?"
"I’m not going to leave an Achilles Heel for myself...Though in this, it would be more of an Achilles..."
"Enough." All of us stopped him before he could finish those words.
After all, not a single one of us wanted him to finish what he had been about to say.
Conan just gave a shrug before ignoring what we said and went forward to bathe in the blood that came out of the dragon corpse.
As we watched him, we couldn’t help looking down from time to time.
"He really is big..." That was the only thing that we could think when we saw him like this.
It wasn’t as if any of us were small, it was just that he was abnormally big compared to the rest of us. This was most likely because he was a barbarian in the first place, but still....
Instead of watching Conan bathe, we started looking around the cave.
This all came from the one comment that Faust had.
"Why would the impure blood red dragon come all the way out here just to nest in this place?"
Once he said this, all of us couldn’t help agreeing with him.
It really didn’t make sense since there wasn’t anything special about this place.
When this place was still a part of the game, it was one of the beginner areas.
That meant that the monsters that were in this area weren’t that strong.
At least they weren’t strong enough to attract this impure blood red dragon here.
That meant that there had to be something special about this cave that the impure blood red dragon nested here.
Only it didn’t seem like we were able to find anything.
All of a sudden, Faust released a barrier that surrounded him which caught our attention. We just watched as he stood there in the middle of that barrier while looking around.
After a while, he finally released that barrier and revealed a terrifying smile.
"What did you find?" I asked him as soon as I saw this since I didn’t want to see him smile like this any longer.
"Stop your senses for a moment with a barrier." Faust said without explaining it.
All of us looked at him with a confused look on our faces when we heard this, but we still did what he told us to do.
Once we released the barrier, we immediately knew what he found.
It was that this place was actually filled with fire elemental energy.
This was the kind of energy that would help that impure blood red dragon grow, which was why it was drawn to this place.
But the thing with this place was that it was so strong that it came from all around us. That meant that unless we stopped sensing it, it would seem like it was blending into the background.
"Where did this strong fire elemental energy come from?"
"It seems to be coming from under the ground, but other than that..."
"Was there anything special about this place?"
"I don’t remember anything."
All of us were confused since we were trying to remember anything that would help from our knowledge of this world when it was still a game. But no matter how we tried, we couldn’t figure out anything.
It really didn’t seem like there was anything that was in this place that was related to this...
"How long will it take you to finish carving this dragon corpse up?"
Stark had stopped to see what we were doing, but after I asked him this question, he titled his head to think about it before saying, "At least another ten minutes. This is quite the big thing."
"Can you create the bone dragon fast? It might be helpful."
Faust gave a nod before going over to pick up the bones that had already been carved out. He didn’t waste a single word as he already started infusing his necromancy magic into the bones.
We didn’t want to stay here for too long since there was the risk of others finding this place.
But we also couldn’t rush into whatever was releasing this fire elemental energy that easily.
So the only thing that we could do was finish preparing and then dive down.
Well, there was one more thing that we could do.
"Come over and help me dig." I said after pulling out some shovels from my spatial storage.
All of us had this spatial storage skill, it was just that it wasn’t linked between us even though we were the same person.
This was the only thing that we didn’t share, so we still had to send things to each other.
After Conan had finished bathing in the blood of the dragon, he also came over to help us.
With his increased strength, we actually started digging even faster than before.
But even after digging for a while, we didn’t seem to find anything.
The only thing that changed was that there was more fire elemental energy coming out of the ground.
Though we knew that there was something here, it really didn’t seem like we were getting close to finding what it was.
That was until all of a sudden, there was this red liquid that came from the ground.
