Chapter 201
"Fellow countryman, how much is the best dragon blood grass?"
Cheng Yu remembered that the book said that the price of ordinary dragon blood grass was between 100-300 gold coins.
The therapeutic effect of the best dragon blood grass is more than ten times that of ordinary dragon blood grass, and the price is estimated to be 2000-3000 gold coins.
Hearing Cheng Yu calling him fellow countryman, Greg smiled and stretched out two fingers, "20 gold coins."
"20 gold coins? So cheap?"
Cheng Yu looked surprised.
This price is far lower than the market price.
"The price is cheap, but you have to get it yourself, and I will provide you with the location."
Greg smiled, which was equivalent to providing information to Cheng Yu and charging information fees.
Cheng Yu suddenly realized that he felt something was wrong just now. Precious medicinal materials such as the best dragon blood grass are auctioned at auctions, so why would they be sold in the store.
Now I understand that this business does not have the best dragon blood grass at all, only the location of the best dragon blood grass.
"But why don't you go get it yourself?"
Cheng Yu looked at Greg with a puzzled look on his face.
He could also make money by going to get the best dragon blood grass himself.
Alas~
Greg sighed, "I have been doing business in the Holy Kingdom for many years and have made enough money. Seeing my compatriots from the Black Sun Empire reminds me of my homeland. Since you need it, I will give it to you as a favor."
"My fellow countryman, you are such a good person."
Cheng Yu pretended to be touched and took out 20 gold coins to give to Greg to see what tricks this profiteer would play.
If there is no best dragon blood grass at the location he said, come and settle the score with him.
"It is right for compatriots to help each other."
Greg received 20 gold coins, smiling, and took out a map from the cabinet and gave it to Cheng Yu, "Follow this map, you can find the cave where the best dragon blood grass grows."
Take the yellowed sheepskin map, Cheng Yu looked at it, the map was marked in detail, there is a mountain more than 600 kilometers north of the Sky City, called Magma Mountain.
There is a red cross on the mountain, that is the cave where the best dragon blood grass grows.
"I'm leaving."
Cheng Yu put away the sheepskin scroll and walked out of the business.
"I wish you a smooth journey to find the best dragon blood grass, and I will treat you to a meal when the time comes."
The smile on Greg's face was like a flower blooming in spring, very bright.
However, he was so happy not because he met a fellow countryman from the Black Sun Empire, but because he received another 20 gold coins today.
...
The lower city area of the Sky City is very large.
Cheng Yu was unfamiliar with the place, so he kept asking for directions and walked through N streets for more than two hours before he walked out of the lower city of Sky City.
Arriving at a small hill outside the city, Meiweier turned into a black dragon and took Cheng Yu and Ivennie to fly to the north of Sky City.
After flying slowly for half an hour, the three of them arrived at Magma Mountain in the north.
Magma Mountain is actually an active volcano with black smoke on the top. The heat waves are rolling. The mountain is bare and there is no grass. There are rugged black rocks everywhere. The hot red magma flows out of the crater and flows down along the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, there are a lot of basalts after the solidification of volcanic magma.
Meiweier flapped her wings and flew low around Magma Mountain. The hot air made people a little breathless.
The whole mountain is bare and there is no grass. Even without looking at the map, you can easily find the cave on the map.
Meiweier hovered just above the cave.
"Ivennie, Maywell, wait for me here. I'll go down and take a look."
Cheng Yu knew that the profiteer named Greg had bad intentions.
He had a magic weapon, so if there was any danger in the cave, it would be easier to get out.
"Master Cheng Yu, be careful."
Ivennie looked at Cheng Yu with a worried look on her face.
"No problem."
Cheng Yu jumped down from Maywell's dragon back.
It was very hot in Magma Mountain. Cheng Yu stood in front of the cave. The cave was ten meters high. It was dark inside and bottomless, a bit like a highway tunnel.
Cheng Yu stretched out his right index finger and gathered the power of light at his fingertips, which emitted a dazzling white light.
Then he walked into the cave.
The cave passage was very spacious. Walking inside did not feel narrow or crowded at all. The deeper you walked into the cave, the darker it became. The air was dry and hot.
Crack!
After walking more than a hundred meters forward, a crisp sound came from Cheng Yu's feet.
Looking down, I saw a skull that was crushed.
Looking forward, there were still many bones of humans and elves in the cave ahead.
Swords, staffs, bows and arrows and other weapons were scattered all over the ground.
"Why are there so many dead people in this cave?"
Cheng Yu frowned and muttered to himself.
It was indeed the right decision not to let Ivennie and Meiweier come down.
Continue to walk forward, stepping on the bones, the sound of bones breaking echoed in the cave.
After walking a distance forward,The cave passage sloped downward, turned two corners, and continued to slope downward.
Cheng Yu didn't know how deep he walked on the slope of the cave, and finally reached the end of the cave.
This is a dim underground cave with an area of more than ten square meters.
The power of light illuminates the cave.
There are many volcanic rock cracks on the rock walls around the cave, some of which are two fingers wide, and some are nearly half a meter wide. Toxic gases and high temperatures spread from those large and small volcanic rock cracks, filling the entire cave.
If Cheng Yu's defense attribute was not high enough, he would have been poisoned to death and roasted into jerky.
Three top-quality dragon blood grasses grew in the half-meter-wide rock crack. Each dragon blood grass was more than 20 centimeters high, shaped like orchids, with translucent leaves that were crystal clear and exuded a faint red glow.
Dragon blood grass is a very precious medicinal material. Dragon blood grass that is more than 500 years old can be called top-quality dragon blood grass.
Under natural conditions, dragon blood grass is dug up by herbalists before it grows for 500 years.
These three dragon blood grasses grew in such a harsh environment, no wonder they have not been picked for five hundred years.
In addition to many volcanic rock cracks and top-quality dragon blood grass, this underground cave has a strange spherical boulder right in front.
The surface texture of the spherical boulder is very regular, like a man-made sculpture, with a horizontal crack in the middle, half exposed from the rock wall and half embedded in the rock wall, which does not seem to be formed naturally.
"What is this thing?"
Cheng Yu stood in front of the spherical boulder and looked at it for a while, but couldn't figure it out.
Forget it, it's more important to pick the top-quality dragon blood grass.
Cheng Yu turned around and was about to pick the top-quality dragon blood grass, when the underground cave suddenly shook, and the crack in the middle of the spherical boulder suddenly split open to the upper and lower sides, revealing a large spherical ruby inside.
Cheng Yu stood in front of the "ruby" and couldn't understand what it was.
The next moment, a large amount of flames suddenly burst out from the cracks in the surrounding volcanic rocks, instantly filling the entire cave.
The flames gushed out from the cave entrance along the cave passage, rising dozens of meters high.
Meiweier hurriedly took Ivennie away. This high temperature was nothing to her, a dragon, but it was fatal to a fragile mage like Ivennie.
At the same time, in the underground cave, three top-grade dragon blood grasses were protected by the red magic barrier and were not disturbed by the flames.
Cheng Yu was in the flames, and his super high physical defense made him not afraid of the high temperature of the flames, but his clothes and pants were all burned to ashes.
He came to the three top-grade dragon blood grasses and smashed the red magic barrier with one punch. At the moment of smashing the barrier, the three top-grade dragon blood grasses were stored in the system warehouse.
Boom~
The cave cavity suddenly shook violently and began to collapse. Cheng Yu was buried inside the mountain.
Magma Mountain shook, the mountain was broken, and a huge red dragon 100 meters long flew out of the mountain.
Meiweier and Yiwenni looked at the red dragon in surprise. There was such a big red dragon living in this volcano.
Cheng Yu was buried deep in the mountain.
He used all his strength to shatter all the rocks on his body with one punch. He jumped up, passed through the hot magma, flew out of the crater and landed on the top of the mountain.
Seeing the red dragon hovering in the air, Cheng Yu suddenly realized that the spherical boulder he saw in the underground cave just now was actually the eyes of the red dragon.
Three top-grade dragon blood grasses were guarded by a red dragon.
