Chapter 24 Recapture the mine
No kowtowers objected to Jose's declaration of enslaving his tribe, but instead they were ecstatic.
Being enslaved by a true dragon is to a certain extent equivalent to being protected by a true dragon. With the protection of a true dragon, a vicious incident similar to the three petrified lizards that forced the tribe to almost collapse will never happen again.
What?
If you are not free, you would rather die.
This declaration full of resistance is only a luxury product of similar species in an era of sufficient material resources, and the dragon stands at the top of extraordinary creatures and is born to be inequality with the lower-ranking kobolds.
Looking down at a large number of kowtowers kneeling, Jose was very satisfied: "Who is the leader? Stand out!"
In fact, he had noticed the strong dog-headed man who was flirting with Ergou. This dog-headed man was one head taller than an ordinary dog-headed man, and his muscles bulged and supported the scales on his surface were like tights.
Sure enough, the skull-dog man stood up, lowered his head and looked at the toes of the real dragon to show respect: "Great master, I am the current chief of the Blood-Tooth Tribe - Soda."
"My slave, tell me how many people are in the Blood Tooth Tribe now? How many warriors are there?"
"By the master, we have 332 tribe members. Except for the sixty-three children, the rest of the kobolds, including females, can take up weapons to fight."
Jose glanced at the dog-headed man who was still kneeling on the ground and found that all the adult dog-headed man were young and strong.
As for why there are no elderly kowtowers, kowtowers have a tradition of expelling the elderly, which has nothing to do with conscience. Due to the long-term lack of food, elderly kowtowers who have lost their value must make room for newborns to survive.
He pondered for a moment. It was useless to bring too many people in the narrow mine, and he and Cassie were there.
"Select twenty elite warriors and join me in regaining the mine."
The dog-headed man suddenly cheered, and Soda couldn't hide his joy on his face. Only Ergou, who had expected it, was calm, but he was so excited that he clenched his fists.
After a while, the selection work was completed. Ergou and Soda whispered a few words, and then Soda ordered the few grains to be taken out to distribute them to the selected soldiers.
The two of them naturally could not hide their little movements. Jose became more and more satisfied with this relative. He was meticulous and let the soldiers eat and replenish their physical strength. This would greatly improve everyone's combat effectiveness and reduce unnecessary casualties. It is also worth mentioning that Ergou called Soda the elder brother.
Soon, twenty kobold men finished their voracious devour.
"Set off."
With Jose's order, everyone embarked on the journey.
Half an hour later, everyone came to a small hill covered with vegetation. The hill was almost five hundred meters high, and there was a hidden entrance to the mine at the corner of the mountain.
"Master, that's it!" Ergou pointed to the dark cave half the size of a door.
With such a small cave, Jose's huge body naturally couldn't get into it, but he had the inheritance of the dragon.
There is a magic in the Dragon's inheritance that specifically deals with this situation - the body size reduction technique. The body size reduction technique can make the body of a large creature smaller, and it can be as small as a cat. The specific one depends on the strength of the dragon itself.
He recited the spell in his mouth quickly, and his body size became smaller at a speed visible to the naked eye, and eventually became almost the same as a tiger.
Jose twisted his neck a little unhappy. The reduction technique made Long feel like wearing a small tights, which was a little uncomfortable.
"Boss Jose, I..." Cassie pointed to the narrow entrance, meaning self-evident.
Jose frowned, he didn't consider this situation: "So, Cassie, go back to the camp, I can deal with the three petrified lizards."
"OK."
"Soda, you bring people in and explore the way and find the location of the petrified lizard."
"yes!"
Cassie left, Soda led the soldiers into the cave, and Jose moved his body at the entrance of the cave. This was the first time he used the body reduction technique and had to adapt to the changes.
The tail slammed the ground and he looked at the depth of the dent on the ground.
"The strength is only 70% of that of the peak state, but the flexibility has increased."
He spat out another mouthful of dragon breath, and found that the attack distance of dragon breath had been shortened by 40%, and nodded with satisfaction.
You should know that the jet distance of the dragon's breath depends largely on the body length and strength of the dragon. Jose's body length has been reduced by three times, and the attack distance of the dragon's breath has only been reduced by nearly 40%. According to the magic record parameters recorded in the dragon's inheritance, it is normal to reduce the body length by three times and the dragon's breath has been reduced by half. Obviously, his body is stronger than dragons of the same age.
"Are you, lead the way."
"Affect the order."
Jose followed his family and walked into a dark mine cave that was diagonally downward. The ground of the mine cave was covered with a layer of gravel. When it stepped on it, the stones rubbed against the stones and made a whirring sound.
The more you go inside, the larger the space in the mine cave, and in the end it can almost accommodate the Red Dragon body.
This layout shows the unique survival wisdom of the dog-kows. The cave entrance is narrow and easy to defend and secret, while the internal space is large due to production and life needs.
"Master, this is just the outer periphery of the Blood Tooth Mine Cave. The innermost space is larger, and there are eight specially carved living areas. Even if you live in it, you won't feel crowded."
Noting the real dragon who was surprised to look around, Ergou said proudly: "Our Blood-Tooth Tribe has been passed down for more than 100 years. At its peak, the number of tribesmen is as high as 3,000. It is the largest dog-headed tribe nearby. At that time, there were humans traveling thousands of miles to come to us to purchase ore!"
"Then why did it decline?"
"Well, the veins here were hollowed out eight years ago, leaving only some remaining inferior mines, and then the tribe split and most of the tribe migrated away."
"So that's it," Jose became increasingly satisfied with the mine. Is there a huge and inconspicuous depletion mine that has a more ideal residence than this!
At this time, a kowtower soldier ran from afar.
"Master, I found the petrified lizards, they are in the living area No. 1 in front."
"lead the way."
"yes!"
Following the kobold warrior, Jose arrived at the so-called No. 1 living area. As Ergou said, he would not feel crowded even if he moved in.
This is a huge circular space with a diameter of 500 meters, with a height of 30 to 40 meters. The bumpy top of the hole seemed to be gnawed by a dog. There was still a little ore left on the blue-black rock. The entire area seemed to be hollowed out and transformed.
The ground was leveled and covered with dense tents, which were made of wood, hemp rope, dirty cloth and animal fur. It looked very old and covered with oil.
Everyone's target, the petrified lizard, settled a home in the No. 1 living area.
At this time, the three petrified lizards also discovered the invaders. They swung their triangle formations to confront the dog-headed man from afar. The forked tongues stretched out from time to time, and their tails swung uneasily. Their tongues smelled dangerous breath.
Obviously, this dangerous aura does not belong to the dog-headed man.
Seeing the giant dragon appearing around the corner, the three petrified lizards became more and more uneasy. The muscles of the body were tightened and their claws pierced into the surface, and the breathing rhythm accelerated like an agitated bellows.
While petrified lizards are observing José, José is also observing them.
The huge six-meter-long body is thick and powerful, with gray skin like the lines of an old cow's eyes. The most noteworthy one is the eyes of petrified lizards. The two light gray eyeballs will shoot stiff rays, which are named for this.
"Three petrified lizards, one male and two females, a common family combination," Jose murmured to himself, narrowing his eyes at his opponent.
Petrified lizards, an extraordinary species that is less than the top and more than the bottom. They are as harmless as cats in front of adult dragons. But Jose is not an adult dragon. He estimated that he could defeat two petrified lizards at the same time. If three were to win, they would only be tied.
He decided to be more cautious so as not to capsize in the gutter, and looked at the twenty-two servants, including the brothers of the Dog-Kowt.
According to the normal practice of the evil dragon, it is definitely to send servants to fight the vanguard and wait for the opportunity by himself, but this will cause a large number of casualties to the servants.
Jose didn't want to see casualties. He believed that he was not a good dragon, but he also had principles.
"Since I'm stumbling with me, I have the obligation to be responsible for my life safety." This is what he thought.
"Soda! Ergou! Each of you leads ten soldiers against a petrified lizard. If you don't ask for victory, just hold it back. I will solve the opponent as quickly as possible and then support you."
"yes!"
"Leave the two mothers to you! Go!" As he said that, Jose removed the body size reduction technique and his body expanded rapidly.
Chapter completed!
