Chapter 25 Humans and Dragons

Cassius relied on his night vision to steadily walk out of the mine, but found that the people had not run far away.

Although the battle just now was dangerous, it actually did not take much time.

It takes a lot of time for ordinary humans to get out of the deep mine, not to mention in such a chaotic situation.

Gold Fang greeted him at the entrance of the cave, bowed his waist, and his posture was extremely exaggerated: "My great master, your power is unstoppable. Even the most powerful monsters cannot withstand your flames."

The humans looked at the blood-soaked red dragon coming out of the cave from afar, each with a look of fear on their face.

The monster in the mine is already so terrifying, so to what extent would the dragon that could defeat the monster be?
They used up their last bit of strength and fled desperately.

Many people have been eaten by monsters in the mines, and some have been killed by falling rocks in the mines.

Originally, there were more than a hundred people who entered the cave, but now only more than fifty people were able to escape. Most of the others were buried forever in the dark and deep mine.

Jin Ya approached him flatteringly and asked, "My great master, how will you deal with these despicable humans?"

There was a sly glint in the dog-headed man's eyes.

It was once enslaved by humans, and now the opportunity for revenge has come.

"I have my own plans."

The red dragon didn't care at all. It just flapped its wings vigorously, took off into the air and caught up with the crowd.

The crowd was in uproar, terrified, and ran away even harder.

But how can the speed of running catch up with that of flying?
Soon, the shadow cast by the red dragon enveloped the panicked crowd.

However, people did not wait for the flames they imagined, nor did they wait for the sharp claws they imagined, nor did they wait for the bloody mouth they imagined.

"Human, you have invaded the territory of the Burning Embers."

"But the merciful red dragon is willing to forgive your mistakes."

"This time, I will only give the culprit the punishment he deserves."

The red dragon swooped down, skimming the ground, and only grabbed the most conspicuous one among them, who was wearing armor - Hart.

Then he flew back to the cave entrance.

Hart, who had just been caught in the claws of the red dragon, fell heavily to the ground. He knelt on the ground for a while, not daring to stand up at all. He was so scared that even his tongue began to tremble: "Master, Master Dragon, I was wrong."

"No, no, no, eat me. I, I'm not delicious."

The slave traders who were originally arrogant and domineering were now trembling with fear.

Cassius looked down at him and found that Hart was actually a third-level warrior. He pretended to be angry and asked, "Who gave you the courage to invade the territory of the Burning Embers' Nest and rob the dragon's gold?"

In Red Dragon’s shameless propaganda, the gold mine has become his own property.

The dog-headed man at the side was secretly pleased to see the former slave owner in such a miserable state, and could not help but threaten him: "You are just a despicable human, how dare you invade the property of the great dragon and enslave the dragon's people? There is only one end for you - that is to be torn into pieces!"

Hearing the words "torn into pieces", Hart collapsed to the ground in fear.

His face was covered with snot and tears, and he kept muttering, "I didn't do it. Someone else told me to do it. Someone else asked me to do it."

Hearing someone behind him, Cassius became interested.

"who is it?"

"Tell me the name of the thief."

Hart heard that there seemed to be hope for survival, and immediately answered without hesitation, as if grasping at a life-saving straw.

"It's Baron Todd!"

"Todd Rackman!"

Hearing this, Cassius became more interested and asked:
"From the Rackman family?" "The so-called North Wind Eagle, the ruler of North Wind Castle?"

Hart nodded repeatedly and rushed to answer. At this critical moment of life and death, his tone was so sincere.

"Yes, yes, Lord Dragon, it's that Rackman."

Hart knelt on the ground, carefully raised his head, and cried.

"Lord Dragon, please make the decision for me!"

"It was this Baron Todd who controlled me with his evil magic and threatened me with my family's lives, forcing me to obey his orders. That's why I came here and violated your property."

Now that things have come to this, Hart no longer cares about so-called loyalty. The most important thing is to save his life. If there is any blame, just put it on the baron.

"It's really interesting."

As far as he knew, the old Duke of the Rackman family was a vampire, and most of his descendants became derivatives or new vampires. The so-called Baron Todd was probably also a vampire - and this would be an opportunity for him to gain access to intelligence about North Wind Castle.

The red dragon grinned: "Where is this Baron Todd you mentioned now?"

Hart was stunned for a moment, then quickly replied: "Lord Dragon, I can take you to find him, and you must make him compensate you for your losses."

This is typical behavior of a guide.

"Okay, but you have to wait a while."

The red dragon grabbed the human, flapped its wings and flew away again, heading straight for the Burning Nest.

The Nest of Embers.

Cassius still landed under the welcome of the flying dragon.

However, this time, his body covered with wounds caused all kinds of speculation among his followers. Who could have hurt him like this? However, no one dared to comment at this time, for fear of angering the injured red dragon.

The earth elf Doro also came to the door with a team of wolf riders to greet them, with a flattering look on his face.
The red dragon casually threw the hart in front of the hobgoblin and said, "Keep an eye on this human. Don't let him escape, and don't let him die."

"Yes, great master, I will definitely complete the task and will never let you down again."

The hobgoblin agreed readily, waving his whip to give instructions.

Then, several strong bear goblins came forward carrying a piece of animal skin, put the human on it, and transported him to the dungeon in the military camp.

After giving the order, the red dragon flew directly back to the Giant's Mouth Cave.

He went straight to the deepest part of the cave and removed the stone that had previously blocked the entrance.
"I see. No wonder I felt palpitations earlier."

"It's time to clean up the hidden dangers in the nest."

Cassius said to himself.

He jumped straight into the hole.

There was magma splashing everywhere, and bursts of white smoke and hot air were coming out.

But the boiling magma is just hot water to the red dragon, and the hot sulfur vapor makes him feel more at home.

After walking down for a long time, not knowing how many meters deep he had gone, he finally saw another cave entrance - but it was blocked by the flowing magma.

"Wow!"

The red dragon jumped out of the magma.

The magma splashed everywhere, burning the hard rock.

It was an extremely long and narrow tunnel with no end in sight.

The entrance to the cave was only four meters high. The red dragon had to retract his wings as much as he could to barely get in. He continued to grope forward.
