Warm Dragon

Hard food is unpalatable!

This is the conclusion Russell came to after watching from the side. It's not that the taste is unpalatable, but it takes a lot of effort to eat it.

But Xiao Menglong opened his dragon mouth and took a deep breath at the slowly pacing snow demon.

In an instant, two vortices rose on the head and abdomen of the thin bamboo pole snow demon. The vortices kept pulling the dark blue light on the thin bamboo pole snow demon, trying to condense these dark blue lights together to form ice soul beads.

This is a snow demon that can condense two ice soul beads. Its combat power is not clear, but at least it is very generous in "being a demon".

But the next moment.

The thin bamboo pole snow demon felt the changes in itself, and then saw it roaring silently, its mouth opened wide, and the ice crystal sword in its hand was waved randomly, even cutting off a snow ghost that came over to the side.

It was trying its best to resist Xiao Menglong's swallowing.

This seemed to have an effect. The speed of the vortex condensation began to slow down, and there were even signs of dispersing.

"Come on!" Russell clenched his fist and cheered for Xiao Menglong softly.

"Gah!"

Xiao Menglong was also angry.

The round pupils in the dragon's eyes quickly converged and turned into narrow vertical pupils. Dragon flames spewed out of the nostrils, as if spitting out two puffs of second-hand smoke.

In the dark dream, everything is up to it!

The next second, it opened its dragon mouth and took another breath with all its strength. After this breath, the thin bamboo pole snow demon could no longer struggle. The two vortices that were originally stagnant and about to dissipate turned deeply, gathering the deep blue light together.

Forming two dark blue ice soul beads, and then slowly falling into Xiao Menglong's mouth.

Crunch, crunch!

Chew it like chewing bones and swallow it into the stomach.

Then burp comfortably: "Gah..."

"Well done, ice cream!" Russell clapped his hands, more excited than hunting snow demons himself. This is simply a big business with no investment and huge profits.

On the market, one ice hail bead can be exchanged for one gold coin, and one high-quality ice hail bead can be exchanged for more than ten gold coins. The ice soul bead is even more priceless. If you are willing, it is easy to sell one ice soul bead for hundreds of gold coins.

That is to say.

Russell earned hundreds of gold coins that night.

Although all the money he earned was spent on Xiao Menglong, and he could not bring back a single copper coin to reality, it at least saved Russell the cost of feeding Xiao Menglong.

In the next journey, Xiao Menglong will no longer think about the few ice hail beads in his hand.

In excitement, he glanced at the original position of the thin bamboo pole snow demon, where there was no deep blue light.

After the ice soul bead condensed, the thin bamboo pole snow demon disappeared. Russell estimated that it should have been broken into a blue trace on the ground. Just like the scene after the death of the snow demon he saw when he cleaned the Shuanghe Business Road last time.

Whether it is a snow ghost or a snow demon, they will dissipate with the wind after death, and will not pollute the environment at all.

Of course.

It can also be said that, except for the ice hail beads and ice soul beads, all their remaining power will be re-integrated into the cold wind and into the snowfield that has not melted for thousands of years.

"Ga!" Xiao Menglong's cry brought Russell back to his thoughts.

He saw that Xiao Menglong was obviously a little full after eating two ice soul beads in a row, and needed to go back to digest it well.

So he touched Xiao Menglong's neck: "Okay, then we will say goodbye here and see you tomorrow."

"Ga." Xiao Menglong's eyes were full of smiles. He really ate a lot today.

The sword butterfly also danced and said goodbye silently.

Then.

The dark dream dissipated, and everything returned to darkness.

...

The next morning, the Knights were ready to go.

Russell, in a good mood, stood by the flower bed, looking at a few quail-like dragons leisurely looking for insects on the path, and threw the leftover bread directly to them.

The quail-like dragons were startled and fled in all directions.

But they soon gathered again, and they were noisy and fighting over the bread that Russell had dropped. They looked like a group of small dinosaurs with feathers, and perhaps, as Roland said, they had the beautiful posture of a dragon.

"Pseudo-dragon..."

Shaking his head, Russell stopped worrying about these little things, and quickly returned to his knight team, and walked out of the Four Seasons Flower Sea Cold Spring Point with the Knights.

After passing through the uphill road at the exit of the cave, they walked into the ice and snow world with howling cold winds.

Charge, hunt!

The rest of the journey was as smooth as before, and Russell only needed to pick up the leaks to earn a lot of ice hail beads.

But unfortunately, Xiao Menglong was really full, and he didn't show up at night. Only the "M"-shaped mark in Russell's palm would respond to his call from time to time, burning to remind him that Xiao Menglong was fine.

In the following days, Xiao Menglong didn't show up.

"Alas, how could this happen? After spitting out a dragon flame, you need to rest for three days. After eating some ice soul beads, you also need to rest... Young dragons are hard to take care of." Russell felt a little regretful. He didn't know how many ice hail beads and even ice soul beads he had missed in the past few nights.

In a flash.

The Knights had cleared the entire mountain and river trade road, crossed through the ice and snow, and arrived at another cave.

"This is the ceramic cave. The mountain and river trade road connects the volcanic oasis and the Youguang River Valley. The porcelain and pottery trade is busy, and many people smuggle ceramics from here." The eldest brother Roland rode side by side with Russell and explained the local customs to him.

Russell was surprised: "Does the family allow them to smuggle?"

"Why not? The tax on formal trade is too high. We can't afford it in Fluorescent Castle. Besides..." Roland whispered, "Our grandpa is in charge of the Council of Elders. He turned a blind eye to the smuggling here."

In the past twenty years, the Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame was governed by the Council of Elders. Merlin Yu Jiuhua, as one of the two earls, took turns governing with the other earl.

We are all family members, so we naturally have to take care of each other.

After all, the taxes are sent to the Red Castle and not to the elders. Only when the family pays less taxes can the elders enjoy the benefits.

"Well." Russell expressed his understanding and asked, "Now that the Grand Duke is in power, Grandpa probably has unloaded the burden. Will the family continue to smuggle?"

"Let's go, but we have to be careful. We have to take care of everything. Uncle Rosen is in charge now. You have to learn more. This matter will still be handed over to you in the future." Roland has brought him to the height of a baron and arranged the future for Russell.

He turned sideways again, patted Russell's shoulder, and whispered: "I trust you more than Uncle Rosen, Russell."

Russell narrowed his eyes and nodded calmly: "Okay, big brother."

This is the obligation of the second son of the family.

Of course.

Russell has dragons, giant dragons, and no one can predict what the future will be like.

The Knights passed through the ceramic caves. Along the way, there were many ragged cave freemen who bravely came forward to sell goods.

Wine, food, tobacco, betel nuts...

There were even female cave freemen, wearing thin long gowns, standing on the side of the road in the cold, and they only needed to stay here for a moment to achieve a fleeting love.

There really were knights of the Knights who left the team and bravely stood up to save these suffering women.

Russell's eyes were fixed on these cave freemen, and I don't know what he was thinking.

Seeing this, the eldest brother Roland seemed to have seen through Russell's thoughts.

He smiled and teased, "Do you also want to save these suffering women? Haha, don't be impatient, Russell. The front is the Youguang Market, which is the market established by our Fluorescent Mushroom Family. I will introduce you to a few noble ladies."
