Chapter 331: The Greedy Demon Becomes a Thief

"Alright everyone, let's split into three groups."

"The rest of the team will continue to communicate with the old dragon. Hai Luo, you guys will search for historical information. Jin Dongliang, you guys will dig up historical documents near the volcano and find libraries and the like."

"yes!"

After arranging the personnel, Lu Yuan quietly followed the animal experts off the boat, chatting about random things along the way.

Pretend to be "I'm just taking a look".

The dragon was always wary of him, and would glance at his body from the corner of its eyes every few seconds.

"Is it that serious? I just beat you up." Lu Yuan cursed in his heart.

The group arrived at the location of the bird's nest and began to feed it continuously.

The animal experts took out several backpacks filled with purple fish balls.

"We brought a lot today so you can eat your fill." The girl smiled happily, revealing two shallow dimples.

"roar!!"

"You have to know that this thing is very expensive... It is secreted by that insect... OK, you may not understand, but you have to know that it is quite expensive."

"Snoooo~" The Mirage Dragon sneezed loudly, and its catfish-like whiskers scratched the young lady's face.

It couldn't understand, but it could sense the kindness released by this young lady, which reminded it of the very distant past...

At that time, the Source Fire Civilization was also in a weak stage, with only a few small and weak little people who could be blown away by a breath, and they were trembling with fear when coming into contact with it.

Then……

Then they encountered a lot of difficulties, but I can’t remember clearly.

And then...

"Hu~" It blew out another breath, unwilling to think about it anymore.

"Hey, are these wounds from volcanic burns? I really don't understand, are you going to jump into the magma to take a bath? Or is this a form of spiritual practice?"

The little girl took out a bottle of ointment and talked to herself.

"This ointment is made from the leaves of the Tree of Life. It's very expensive! If you're willing, I'll embezzle some and apply it on my face. Maybe it can be used as a facial mask."

Another male doctor laughed and said, "It's highly unlikely that it will work as a facial mask! It might cause your skin to grow larger!"

The icy cold feeling brought by the ointment passed through the skin and into the brain, causing the Mirage Dragon to turn over involuntarily, almost crushing the young men and women to death.

"Hulu~" A strange sound came from its throat, as if it was a little embarrassed, and then it began to look around. Where did that beautiful girl who had always been wearing green clothes go today?

"Are you looking for Conch Mother? She has other things to do and needs to trace back historical information... I'll see you this afternoon."

Where's that man? Where did he go? ! "Commander Lu? He left. He was too lazy to stay here... Come on, I made you something delicious."

…

"It seems to be done...the young people are quite capable." Lu Yuan took a deep breath, and when the Mirage Dragon was not paying attention, he hid in the different space.

Put on that tattered cloak that reduces your presence.

He held his breath, and at the moment he emerged from the alien space, he teleported! Then, he immediately hid in the alien space again! "Roar!!!" The Mirage Dragon's perception was so sensitive that it moved all of a sudden and almost overwhelmed the girls again.

It was suspicious for a long time, and only calmed down again after people complained.

The second time he teleported, Lu Yuan had already entered the dragon's nest and his wildly beating heart slowed down.

Apart from some fallen dragon scales, there was no smelly feces or urine as imagined, which shows that this old dragon is quite intelligent and would not make his home a mess.

"Everyone, I have successfully entered the target. You guys stay outside and feed them slowly, play some small games or something. In a few hours, I will come out of the dragon's nest, and I will need you to provide cover."

A voice came from the headset: "Well... OK... You can't let water in this wound, understand? Stay on the shore for a few days. We will bring you some food so you won't starve to death."

"Snoring..." Old Dragon made a sound like snoring.

Lu Yuan listened to their conversation and felt amused. It was really like raising a small animal.

He did not dare to delay and walked towards the inside along the wall.

This place is just as Lao Mao said, it is the core area of ​​the Source Fire Civilization. The walls are densely engraved with carvings. The carving materials of this building alone are worth hundreds of Lingyun! Unfortunately, these materials, such as animal blood, plant juice, shell powder, etc., are not reusable and have no recycling value.

"Most of them are climate-regulating glyphs. Is it to maintain a constant temperature?"

Lu Yuan touched the wall nervously, frowning slightly.

It’s not that he can’t defeat the dragon outside. If he is discovered by the other party, those staff members will suffer heavy casualties. He has no choice but to be careful.

Fortunately, Lao Long was immersed in the land of tenderness and did not seem to care about him, a little ant running around in there.

Along the way, Lu Yuan saw a large number of technological creations that looked like large computer cases. The "climate regulation" glyph could dissipate the heat generated by the data center more quickly, which was indeed a perfect match.

There are also some...tech puppets? These puppets are made of a rubber-like material. After so many years, the rubber has become hard and cracked in some places.

Perhaps because of the depletion of energy, they have completely lost their functions and can neither move nor speak.

Lu Yuan was not polite and put several puppets into the storage space.

Further ahead is a solid door.

This thing did not pose a problem for Lu Yuan. He activated his eternal fire and used the fire to test the thickness of the door along the gap.

With a light "whoosh" sound, he teleported directly to the other side of the door.

This time, they were finally out of the old dragon's perception range, but Lu Yuan did not dare to delay. He first took out a miner's hat, turned on the light, then took out the body of an old cat and pressed a button.

"Swoosh!" The old cat's body crossed the distance and attached itself to Lu Yuan.

The comrade's spatial ability is quite impressive in this situation.

"Tsk, it's so dark... Just like being in a monster's cave." said the old cat.

The road was relatively flat, sloping downward at an angle of about 10 degrees, and the walls were still covered with carvings.

The temperature is about 20 degrees Celsius and the air is humid.

"The depth of this passage may be beyond your imagination." The old cat sat on Lu Yuan's shoulder.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Along the way, they saw more mechanical puppets, falling to the ground.

Some puppets were holding weapons such as guns.

“This thing…”

Lu Yuan took a deep breath, picked up a gun, and unloaded the bullets.

Looking again, even the shell of the bullet was painted with two kinds of carvings - "sharp" and "explosion", mixed with some idealistic elements such as blood destruction.

"Tsk!" Lu Yuan couldn't help but sigh.

This is the gap between civilizations.

Even a master like Lu Yuan would be injured if hit by this special bullet.

Of course, the trouble will not be too big for Lu Yuan. As long as he combines with the Tree of Life, he will recover from this minor injury quickly.

But a general level 7 field master, if his recovery ability is not strong enough, will be killed by bullets.

When a second-level civilization meets a third-level civilization, it can only be described as "looking up". Just a small bullet can show the gap between them.

"Don't think too much. It's just that this treasury is more important, so these robots use engraved bullets." The old cat said, "Otherwise, how many civilizations can afford it?"

Lu Yuan's heart was beating faster and faster. He bent down and frantically picked up the puppets: "Take them all away! Anyway, the old dragon can't get in."

Yes, although the old dragon is guarding this place, it is obviously unable to enter this underground passage due to its size.

It has no idea what's going on inside.

"Take it easy and don't fill up the storage space. The real big thing is still down there."

"I know, I know...Is it okay if I embezzle a little?"

“…”

The deeper you go underground, the hotter it gets.

In the end, the temperature rose to 60 degrees Celsius. There might be magma outside, wrapping this underground passage. Even the "climate control" engraving could not withstand the heat coming in from the outside world.

The sultry air made Lu Yuan sweat all over.

“It’s fucking hot.”

He couldn't help but take out the "High Temperature Resistance-Salamander Suit" and put it on himself, only then did he feel a little more comfortable.

Further ahead was the thick door that Lao Mao had seen. The pattern was 5 meters in diameter and was so thick that Lu Yuan had to suspect that the craftsmen of the "Source Fire Civilization" had spent their entire lives to create this simple door.

There are also exquisite patterns painted on it: on a certain magical day, a graceful girl is dancing a mysterious dance.

They placed the volcanic stone on their chests and used their beautiful violins to interpret their beliefs.

In a distant place, where the earth meets the sky, there is a beautiful little white dragon puffing out clouds and mist, while the nearby volcanoes provide a constant supply of heat, allowing the world to be reborn.

If it were in the past, Lu Yuan would still appreciate the artistic attainments.

Because artistic creation is often closely related to the talent of craftsmen, he is now a person of grace and taste.

But now, standing in front of the door of the treasury, he could not wait to touch the door with both hands and activate the "Eternal Flame". The red light, like a small snake, invaded along the gap of the door - no matter how thick the door is, there will always be gaps.

"It's about 112 centimeters thick. This door is really solid..."

"There seems to be an empty lot opposite the door."

The old cat said slowly, "Take it easy, don't let anything go wrong. What if there is some strange creature imprisoned in there?"

Lu Yuan swallowed his saliva. He had actually considered this point. From the information he had found in the past few days, it seemed that the "Source Fire Civilization" did not imprison any disaster-level anomalies.

Of course, a lot of information would not be recorded in writing, so he deliberately left the Tree of Life on the Green Mountain, so that if he really died, there would be a chance to be resurrected.
