After listening to Gao Fei's persuasion, Joseph Cooper's eyes regained some luster. He raised his head and looked at the young barbarian prince carefully. It took a long time before he broke the silence.
"Young man, I vaguely see the heroic appearance of the young Karl Olaf in you. You are indeed the successor of the Olaf royal family, but if you want to become the master of the Holy Axe, it is not enough to have noble blood. You must prove yourself
His strength and courage are equally worthy of Karl Olaf’s bloodline.”
As soon as he heard this, Gao Fei knew that the plot was on track, and asked the dwarf: "Uncle Joseph, how can I prove my strength and courage?"
"follow me!"
The dwarf jumped up from the bench, turned around and walked away.
Gao Fei followed him through the workshop and into a spacious courtyard.
In the center of the courtyard, there lay a giant made of steel. It looked a bit like "activated armor" at first glance, but it was much larger, no more than 6 meters long from head to toe.
"Uncle, is this a construct?" Jiang Feng asked curiously.
"That's right! This is the crowning masterpiece of my life, called 'Electric Shock War Warrior'!"
Joseph Cooper crossed his arms on his chest and looked at the steel giant with pride in his eyes.
"It looks very powerful. Can you get him to stand up and move around?" Eve asked.
"Uh... my masterpiece is not finished yet, so I can't move around yet." The dwarf rubbed his nose in embarrassment.
"Since it's called an electric shock war figurine, it must be able to discharge electricity, right?" Gao Fei asked with great interest.
"Theoretically it is possible, but not yet." The dwarf said, stroking his thick beard. "My masterpiece is only one last key component away from completion. If you can try to help me get this component so that I can complete the electric war forged,
I will give you the map of the tomb passage of King Olaf’s mausoleum.”
"Tell me first, what parts are needed?" Gao Fei asked cautiously.
"It is the core device that allows the war forged to release lightning. It is a magical device that can absorb electrical energy from the surrounding environment and store it!"
"It sounds a bit like a solar battery..."
"What is a solar battery?" The dwarf looked confused.
"Uh, it's nothing. Let's get down to business. Where can I get the device you need?" Gao Fei didn't want to take the topic too far.
"Go north from here, about 20 miles away, deep in the Gobi Desert, there is an ancient gravel cave, inside which lives a ferocious green-footed dragon snake."
Speaking of the green-footed dragon snake, the dwarf's face became particularly solemn.
"Young man, if you and your companions can kill that green-footed dragon snake, cut out its lungs and bring them back to me, I will give you a map of the tomb passage of King Olaf's mausoleum. How about that?"
At the same time, Gao Fei received a system prompt asking him if he wanted to take on this side mission to help the dwarf mage hunt down the green-footed dragon snake and complete the construction project of the electric war figurine.
Gao Fei chatted privately with Jiang Feng through the astrolabe, and both of them felt that this task was of great significance.
If you refuse to help Joseph Cooper and go directly to explore the royal tomb, you will inevitably encounter many extremely dangerous traps. Due to the lack of thief partners in the team, relying on human flesh to brave the traps is basically courting death. Don't even think about passing the level perfectly!
Since the tomb passage map is indispensable, Gao Fei has no choice but to accept the dwarf's commission and lead his teammates to the Gobi caves to hunt down the green-footed dragon snake.
…
The frost giants were also robbing graves on the island, and there was not much time left for Goofy. He bid farewell to Joseph Cooper, returned to the dock and bought five horses, and the group hurried on.
After riding for more than 20 miles on the desolate Gobi Desert, I saw a bare hill standing in the flat Gobi from a distance, which is where the Green-footed Dragon Snake lives.
Seen from a distance, this rocky hill is not too high. When he urged his horse to get closer, Gao Fei discovered that the distance from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain was no less than 300 meters. Due to years of wind and sand erosion, there was no grass growing on the mountain, and the surrounding rock walls were quite steep.
There was no foothold for climbing, and rock climbing experts were frightened when they saw this scene.
On the shady side of the rock mountain, about two hundred meters above the ground, a dark cave was vaguely visible, with a diameter of about three meters according to visual inspection. It must be the entrance to the lair of the Green-footed Dragon Snake.
Before arriving, Gao Fei inquired about Joseph Cooper and learned that the Green-footed Dragon Snake is a magical beast between a dragon and a python.
This monster has a head similar to that of a blue dragon. It is also good at spitting lightning like the blue dragon, but its body is as smooth and slender as a giant python.
If we stop here, then the green-footed dragon snake looks very much like the "dragon" in ancient Chinese myths and legends.
But the green-footed dragon snake also has a very strange physiological feature, that is, it has feet, and there are many, many feet!
If the description of the dwarf uncle is not too exaggerated, an adult blue-footed dragon snake has at least 12 pairs of legs. It is not difficult to imagine that in addition to the head of a blue dragon and the body of a python, this creature also has the characteristics of a centipede!
When the green-footed dragon snake gathers its 12 pairs of legs and fits them tightly against its abdomen, it can use its abdominal muscles to crawl on the ground like a python.
When it spreads its legs, its mode of movement changes from crawling to crawling, like a large centipede, which can easily climb on smooth walls perpendicular to the ground.
For this reason, green-footed dragon snakes like to set up their nests in places that are difficult for other creatures to reach, such as bottomless pits or unreachable cliffs.
The pair of hard horns on the head of the green-footed dragon snake can dig through sand and dig tunnels. The interior of its lair is always filled with criss-crossing tunnels, like a complex maze.
The green-footed dragon snake, which is suspicious by nature, lurks in the depths of the maze, using complicated tunnels to ambush intruders. It also collects valuable items from its prey like a giant dragon and piles them in its lair. It can sleep peacefully only by curling up among the treasure piles.
.
Gao Fei got off his horse and stood at the foot of the mountain looking up at the cliff.
He had no rock climbing tools at hand, and it was too difficult to climb the smooth cliff with his bare hands. He hesitated whether to use the magic power of the "Dragon Warrior Heart" to transform into a red dragon and fly up directly.
Jiang Feng saw his plan and whispered: "Becoming a dragon will not only cost the number of violent rages, but also accumulate exhaustion. It would be too wasteful just to use it to climb mountains."
Gao Fei nodded and asked her: "How about you climb up using the 'flying cornice step' first, then throw the cable down from the entrance of the cave, and we can climb up along the cable?"
"This method is feasible, but it is too troublesome and wastes time. Moreover, I am worried that the green-footed dragon snake will be disturbed during the climb and rush out of the hole to attack us."
"Is there a better way?"
"Of course." Jiang Nuxia's lips raised a confident smile, "My monk has learned the 'Void Escape'. Under sufficient light, he can open the 'Any Door' by spending 8 points of Qi. Bring two
A companion will be teleported directly to the entrance of the cave."
