Disaster Strikes

The neighbors who were watching gradually dispersed.

Yulia wiped her tears and thanked Chen Mo with red eyes.

Although she gave birth to Wayne, Yulia was only in her early twenties. The two of them were in close contact, and the fragrance was fragrant. Although they were infinitely charming, Chen Mo, who practiced the boy's skills, already had a very high concentration, his eyes were clear, and there was no evil thought.

"I have said it before, Uncle Chen Mo is as powerful as Dad!"

Wayne snuggled in Yulia's arms, comforting his mother softly, but Chen Mo's voice came from behind.

"Didn't we agree that this was our secret?"

"But, but..."

Wayne saw that Chen Mo seemed a little angry, and wanted to explain several times, but he didn't know how to start. He ran into the room in shame and didn't dare to look at Chen Mo again.

Chen Mo smiled when he saw this.

He looked at Yulia and said, "How did you provoke these people?"

Yulia's face darkened when she heard this.

"Since Wayne's father died, this has happened more than once. The scar-faced adventurer just now wanted me to marry him after seeing me by chance. I rejected him, and he started to come and cause trouble frequently."

"I see."

Chen Mo had expected this.

"Little Wayne and I are also good friends, and we are neighbors. If there is such a thing in the future, you can come to me, I..."

Halfway through his words, Chen Mo noticed that Yulia was stunned and lowered her head shyly, and immediately realized the problem in his words.

The other party obviously misunderstood him.

With the experience of Xiaolan in the honeycomb world, Chen Mo dared not mess around anymore. It is better not to understand some things in depth.

So.

Chen Mo hurriedly said: "I still have some things here. Since the things here have been resolved, I will go back first."

...

Time passed day by day.

Sulfur mines and iron mines are the two pillar industries of Glory City.

Among them, the sulfur mining area is located near the crater above the Glory City. This is a relatively mild active volcano. At least it has been quite stable for the past few hundred years and there is no sign of eruption.

Sulfur can be said to be a must-have item for adventurers.

Almost every adventurer must prepare some when going out. The castle in the Misty Forest regards sulfur as a strategic material. It is sold at a high price to adventurers who need supplies in normal times, and used for emergency in times of crisis.

For example, the ghost vine that kept approaching the Howell family before was cleared by relying on a large amount of sulfur.

There is only one sulfur mine in the entire Glory Mountains, which can be said to be the foundation of Glory City.

If this sulfur mine is lost, the situation of the large and small families in the entire Glory Mountains, as well as thousands of adventurers, will deteriorate rapidly. Perhaps within a few years, the entire mountain range will decline, which is not impossible.

This day.

Hundreds of workers are working tirelessly to develop the sulfur mine near the crater.

The guards in charge of supervision are patrolling and guarding with weapons.

They have long been accustomed to the pungent smell that is unpleasant to outsiders, and the price of adapting to it is the loss of taste and smell. No matter how delicious the food is, it tastes like chewing wax. They can only get a little pleasure from tasting food by consuming a lot of spicy food to stimulate the pain.

Suddenly.

There was an inexplicable roar in the distant sky.

The guards couldn't help but look over, and even the miners straightened their backs, taking this opportunity to take a break and watch the excitement.

"It's a flying monster. With such a big body, it must have come from the depths of the fog."

"Oh my God, with such a big body, I don't know what this guy eats to grow up."

Although it is more than ten kilometers away, the size of this monster is really too big. After accidentally rushing out of the fog and entering this relatively dry environment, it began to fly around the fog wall instinctively, and many people were amazed at this.

The sunny area of ​​Glory City is much larger than that of the castle.

However, just when everyone thought that the giant creature that had accidentally entered would soon leave, it seemed to have discovered something. After a loud and long cry full of surprise, it actually flew towards the crater.

Then, amid the exclamations of the people in the mining area, a huge creature with wings spread out for nearly ten meters fell down with a bang.

This was actually a terrible monster with two heads!

Its body was covered with black scales, and its claws as sharp as blades easily cut through the hard stone. It was surrounded by a terrible breath of death, and the two heads on its slender necks like pythons actually showed two different forms, one cow and one sheep.

"It's a dragon, my God!"

"Run."

The workers screamed and fled in all directions when they saw this.

However, it was still a little late.

The two heads of this dragon immediately spewed out raging fire and terrible hurricanes, and a large number of miners turned into ashes. Then they began to roll excitedly in the sulfur mine, and the two heads kept eating ore.

The so-called alien dragons refer to dragon creatures that poison masters artificially synthesize by using the alienation refining array.

Unlike sub-dragons, which are the bloodline of giant dragons, alien dragons evolve by swallowing dragon blood. Therefore, they are natural enemies of giant dragons. They are the ultimate weapons created by poison masters in that catastrophe war to fight against the Dragon Knight Alliance.

As the war passed, a large number of ancient poison masters died. After losing the restraint of their masters, these dragons began to wander around and even began to reproduce.

The horn symbolizing crisis spread throughout Glory City in an instant.

The news that the sulfur mine was attacked by the two-headed wind dragon soon spread throughout Glory City.

There were many people working in the sulfur mine on Meishi Street. Some people who escaped by chance described the terrible scene vividly, and the families of a few victims were shocked and wailed in pain.

For a while.

The adventurers in Glory City were eager to fight and spontaneously formed the so-called expedition team.

The major shops in the city also took action, obviously preparing for the precious materials after the extermination of this dragon, and Chen Mo's Bailian Chengjin Blacksmith Shop was naturally indispensable.

As the largest blacksmith shop in the city, the news was naturally quite circulated, and Chen Mo also heard a lot.

Similar large invasive creatures would run out from the depths of the fog almost every once in a while, and the creatures that were attracted by the sulfur mines and wanted to build nests here often had one characteristic, that is, they contained dragon blood.

If it was a sub-dragon or a giant dragon, Glory City would naturally be eager to get one.

After all, these dragon species have extremely high intelligence, and most of the so-called dragon riders just took this opportunity to approach, but this kind of thing is quite rare in the history of Glory City, and generally occurred in other more distant areas.

But the tyrannical dragons are completely different.

When they were refined by poison masters, they were integrated with a large number of brutal and fierce cells in order to hunt those giant dragons. Therefore, except for the poison masters who refined them, no one else could control them.

With the power of Glory City, it is natural that it will not be afraid of ordinary beasts.

Including those beasts that have reached the level of third-level creatures, they will also be dead under the power of a large number of adventurers in Glory City.

However, for this dragon, everyone in the Hundred Refinements into Gold Blacksmith Shop showed solemnity.

The reason is simple.

It can fly!

According to the past experience of Glory City, it takes at least one or two months, or at most half a year, for Glory City to gather enough strength for such a powerful flying creature. This is the case when the Adventurer's Guild takes some compulsory measures as the prices in Glory City continue to rise.

Otherwise, facing such a flying creature that can't be defeated and can run away at any time, it is undoubtedly a pipe dream for those spontaneously organized adventurers to encircle and suppress it with all their strength.

Adventurers are not afraid of danger, but they are afraid of no benefits.

The next half month.

As expected, as rumored, the prices in Glory City continue to rise at a speed that is almost visible to the naked eye.

Sulfur mines are closed, iron mines are closed, coal mines are closed...

The Bailianchengjin Blacksmith Shop also lost its raw materials due to the suspension of the iron mine, and had to give Chen Mo and other workers a holiday, but it was a paid holiday.

However, Chen Mo took the initiative to give up this paid holiday.

He expressed his willingness to replace the apprentice who was responsible for maintaining the operation of the last furnace, and the ore stored in the blacksmith shop was only enough to maintain the operation of one furnace.

This made Hei Laogui, who had a good relationship with him, roll his eyes.

"Are you stupid?"

Chen Mo smiled and said, "I came here to get promoted to the second-level apprentice as soon as possible, not to waste time. There is no harm in learning and practicing more."

"You asked for it yourself, so do as you please."

Since Chen Mo took the initiative to ask, Hei Laogui would naturally not refuse. He immediately gave the apprentice a holiday and let Chen Mo take over.

In this way.

Chen Mo's promotion to the second-level apprentice of the blacksmith shop was almost a foregone conclusion.

Half a month later.

Wayne climbed onto the roof and practiced with Chen Mo.

However, Wayne's performance today was not ideal. He fell down several times during the horse stance.

Until the purple air came from the east and the practice was over, Chen Mo looked at Wayne who was panting beside him. He seemed a little weak and couldn't help frowning and said, "Are you sick?"

"No."

Wayne looked at Chen Mo, looking a little sad.

"Because I didn't eat enough, I have no strength. Mom said that the monster doesn't know when it will leave. We are running out of money, so we have to save money."

Compared to Chen Mo's monthly income of two silver coins as an apprentice, Yulia's monthly income from sewing and mending is at most a little more than one silver coin, and the rent is quite expensive, so life is quite tight.

Now that the prices in Glory City have risen sharply, it is natural that she is a little short of her income.

Wayne is like this, she herself is probably even weaker from hunger.

Of course.

It is not just her family that suffers in Glory City. Everyone is waiting for the end of this disaster and suffering. Chen Mo is just a passerby. The two-headed wind dragon is not something he can deal with, and he has never thought of being a savior.

However.

If he just helps the people around him a little, it is reasonable.

After careful consideration, he thinks it is better to avoid direct monetary assistance. He wants to help others completely out of his inner activities and does not want to change the equal relationship between the two parties.
