"Wait a minute, Tednick, aren't you breaking the rules of the trial of the young dragons by doing this? Could it really be done? Even if you're the person in charge, you can't force it!”
The Great Red Dragon Master also stood up and shouted at Tednick.
"There's no time to explain. I'll make a decision based on the situation. If it doesn't work, I'll have to disqualify the intruder.”
The old rock dragon replied loudly. Then, its huge figure entered the rift valley. After a rumble came from the ground, it disappeared at the end of the underground.
"What happened? Why did Tednick suddenly leave?"
The Blue Dragon Mentor and the other dragons who were monitoring the youngling dragon's trial outside asked in confusion when they saw the old rock dragon leave.
" A young dragon ran to Old Nick's nest. That's a forbidden place. Old Nick went to check on the situation.”
The Great Red Dragon said worriedly.
"Huh? How was that possible? How did those young dragons do it? Digging a hole? Those rocks were personally made by Old Nick. What kind of young dragon could do that? Moreover, Old Nick's nest led directly to other trial caves. What if he ran to another area?”
Instructor Blue Dragon asked in disbelief.
"I'm also very curious. What kind of youngling dragon would do this?”
The Great Red Dragon sighed helplessly.
...
The Boulder Dragon's Lair.
"Deerbas, stay away. Something's not right here!”
Xia Yuan lowered his head and looked at the glowing substance that looked like a magic crystal.
Staring at that thing, a term, uraninite, appeared in his mind.
The system quickly explained.
[Natural uraninite]: Ore containing thorium, radium, rare earth elements, and lead in the axial-crystal system. The crystals are often in the form of cubes and octahedron or cubes and rhombus-shaped twelve-sided clusters. Black, non-transparent, semi-metallic luster to resin luster. It was highly radioactive.
The first part of the description was very ordinary, but only the last part caught Xia Yuan's attention.
"Strong radiation…? F * ck, this thing has radiation!"
The little Black Dragon, Xia Yuan, was so frightened that his claws trembled. He threw the thing out. However, strangely, Xia Yuan did not feel any discomfort or headache. Instead, he felt as if all the pores on his body had relaxed after going through a sauna. A sense of satisfaction rose from the inside out.
At the same time, a notification sounded in his mind.
"Ding! Absorbing natural radioactive elements, your cell activity has increased!”
Eh?
Why did it feel so strange? His body didn't resist it, and he even liked this kind of ore.
Xia Yuan hesitated for a moment, thinking about whether he should continue to move forward or return to the gap where he came in and return to the outside world.
"According to common sense, going back the way we came is the safest choice, but if I retreat here, I might regret it. Deerbas, go back and meet up with Shiroff first. Wait at the door. I'll investigate this dragon's lair myself, do you hear me?”
He could not let the berserk dragon Dilbas take the risk with him. Xia Yuan immediately ordered him to retreat while he advanced alone.
"Be careful, Boss!"
The little mad dragon Dierbas still had something to say, but the slight dizziness made him accept the order and retreat into the cave, returning the way he came.
"Why are there so many radioactive minerals gathered together? What is going on?"
Xia Yuan began to move forward, his gaze constantly scanning the surrounding mines. The system notifications also sounded one after another.
Other than the uraninite that he had just encountered, there were also copper-uraniumite, calum-uraniumite, radium ore, multi-rare gold ore, and xenophanite.
Although it did not have any particularly strong radiation when taken out alone, it could not withstand the large amount.
Moreover, this place seemed to be filled with bright and beautiful uranium minerals. It was simply a forbidden area for normal creatures. If they were not afraid of cancer and death, they could come anytime.
"Hmm, the inherited memories of the dragon tell me that these things are called 'Sealing Magic Stones'. After being swallowed by the rock dragon clan, it could be refined into a special metal. This kind of metal could block the effects of magic and had extremely strong anti-magic properties. It was called " anti-magic gold " by humans and could be made into handcuffs to imprison mages.”
Although it was a little unbelievable, it might really be possible.
After all, this was a different world. Perhaps the radioactive elements could interfere with the mage's control of magic power, causing them to be in a state of chaos.
Moreover, there were some human alchemists in the inherited memories who could make 'anti-magic gold powder bombs', which could cause terrible damage to mages.
However, the " Magic Resistance Gold " was very rare. It could only be found in the areas where the rock dragons lived.
Moreover, the Crag Dragon seemed to feed on this highly radioactive ore. They relied on eating stones to obtain energy, but the radioactive energy of ordinary stones was limited. Then, everything in front of him seemed to be the 'food' stored by an adult Crag Dragon?
So, he had barged into the nest of an adult rock dragon?
At the thought of this, Xia Yuan was both worried and expectant because he could also absorb the radiation here and obtain energy from the minerals to rapidly strengthen his cells.
"I don't care! Before the giant dragon returned, he had to absorb some radiation!”
Xia Yuan immediately ran towards the area with the densest radiation. Then, he threw himself onto the mineral and rolled around continuously, allowing his scales and skin to be contaminated with a portion of the radioactive elements. As long as his body came into contact with these things, he could quickly absorb their energy.
Although it could be absorbed through the air, it was not as effective as skin contact.
Even so, Xia Yuan still felt that it was too slow. Hence, he widened his eyes and directly picked up a glowing crystal that emitted a strange fluorescent light. He opened his mouth and bit down.
"Creak, creak…"
The radioactive crystal was quickly bitten into pieces, and Xia Yuan swallowed it instinctively.
After entering his stomach, he could clearly feel his stomach and intestines contracting at the same time. Then, an extremely pleasant feeling rose. This thing was too headstrong and easy to become addicted to!
No wonder Rock Dragons loved to eat this.
However, even for the rock dragon race, it was not easy to find so many radioactive minerals. In that case, he would not stand on ceremony and treat them as spoils of war for the youngling dragon trial.
"Caw! Gawu!"
Just like that, Black Dragon Xiayuan began to devour the radioactive ores on the ground. It ate as it walked, but the cave was huge. Even if it ate as much as it could, it could only eat a small portion in a short period of time.
His stomach grew bigger and bigger. Rocks piled up in his body and were melted by the terrifying acid. Even if he ate and pooped, he could not control his body from becoming 'fat'.
"Rumble!"
Suddenly, a violent vibration came from the ground. Xia Yuan, whose mouth was stuffed with ore, widened his eyes. One or two stones fell out from the gaps of his mouth. He looked at the sound of the huge door slowly shaking not far away and was shocked.
"Oh no, the master of the nest has returned!”
