Chapter 140: Dros's Dragon Fang
Chapter 140: Dros's Dragon Fang
The moment A Lu stepped into the underground snake cliff, he immediately felt a strong gravity. His body instantly became extremely heavy, and this feeling was dragging him to the depths of the earth. Every step he took was like a heavy burden.
A Lu knew very well that if he wanted to find Melk's stardust, he had to adapt to this difficult environment. He took a breath and continued to go down with heavy steps.
There were endless ferocious beasts along the way, they roared and rushed towards A Lu, trying to tear him into pieces. A Lu did not dare to relax at all, he concentrated on dealing with every attack, although his body became slow due to gravity, his reaction was still agile.
In the battle with the beast, A Lu constantly adjusted his breathing and rhythm, trying to adapt to this challenging environment. He knew that every defense and counterattack was a test and exercise for himself. Although he was exhausted physically and mentally, he never thought of giving up.
As Alu went deep into the underground snake cliff to search for Melk's stardust, he experienced inner struggle and hesitation. The huge psychological burden made him feel breathless and even had the idea of giving up.
Whenever A-Lu saw my kitchen knife, the time we spent together would come to mind. He would think of my determined eyes and encouraging words, and his fighting spirit and confidence would be rekindled.
A Lu held the kitchen knife tightly, using it as his motivation to move forward. With the kitchen knife by his side, he finally reached the deepest part of the Snake Cliff. There he found an unusually tall, muscular bull-shaped beast staring at him intently.
A Lu took a deep breath and prepared to fight the beast. However, at this moment, a more terrifying aura suddenly came from behind him. A Lu looked back and saw a tall giant standing behind him.
The man in front of him had thick long hair and a beard, bronze skin, well-defined muscles covered with horrific knife scars. His presence made Alu feel a palpitation in an instant.
The man was mumbling something, but his voice was so low that it was almost inaudible. A Lu tried to get closer to hear his words, but still couldn't understand. What surprised A Lu even more was that the beast he had just fought seemed to obey the man's words, and even ran out to look for something after he whispered a few times.
The man squatted down and began to look for something in the bag on his back. A Lu stared at him in horror, his heart full of confusion and anxiety. He didn't know what the man was doing, nor did he know what would happen next.
After searching for a while, the man took out a stone from his bag and muttered something to it. He even made some gestures and then put the stone back. Ah Lu watched this scene and felt even more puzzled.
After the man finished speaking, he put the stone back into his bag. He stood up, waved his hand and prepared to leave. A Lu hurriedly chased after him and asked him. He thought that this man might be the first generation of Melk he was looking for.
The first Melk's voice was still too soft for anyone to hear clearly. A'lu leaned in to listen carefully, but still couldn't understand what he said. At this moment, the bull-shaped beast suddenly rushed back with a stone in its hand.
The first Melk took the stone from the beast, put it to his mouth and made a sound that he had not heard before. After some communication, A Lu finally understood the situation.
The stone in the hands of the first Melkor is the Amplifier Stone, and the beast beside him is called the Scorpion Bull. The first Melkor tamed the beast to prevent anyone from disturbing the important work he was doing.
After hearing Alu's narration, Melk II was struck by a heavy hammer. She lowered her head, her hands weakly resting on her knees, her face full of disbelief.
Melk II had imagined countless situations that his master might encounter, but he had never expected that the problem would be the volume of the voice. This absurd truth made her speechless and funny, and her image of the master was greatly reduced. She felt that he was too unreliable.
I was also confused by this truth. I smiled awkwardly and tried to break the awkward atmosphere: "Ms. Melk, could it be that you couldn't hear clearly what Mr. Melk, the first generation, said before?"
Melk II smiled stiffly, with a hint of embarrassment and self-mockery in his voice: "Yes... indeed... I always feel like he is always mumbling something..."
A trace of tears flashed in Melk II's eyes. She lowered her head, her voice trembling but full of joy: "But...but, anyway, now...Master is safe and sound. It's really...great..."
I looked at Melk II, smiled, and said, "That's great, Miss Melk!"
Melk II raised his head, his eyes full of gratitude, and smiled at me.
Ah Lu's face was filled with excitement. He announced loudly: "Next, we will get down to business!"
A Lu carefully untied the bundle, revealing a pile of broken stones emitting golden light. They were as dazzling as gold, dazzling to the eyes.
I stared at these beautiful, glowing stones and couldn't help but exclaim, "These stones are so beautiful!"
Melk II was also amazed. She came closer to observe the stones carefully, stroking their smooth surfaces, and muttered to herself: "Could it be... could it be... that this is the dream whetstone that can grind everything in the world... Melk's stardust? How beautiful it is!"
Alu picked up a piece of Melk's stardust from the table, held it in his hand, and said to Melk II with a smile: "We have an appointment, Melk... Please use this to make a kitchen knife for Xiaosong!"
I turned my head and looked at A Lu's profile, my heart filled with gratitude, and said sincerely: "Mr. A Lu, thank you very much!"
Ah Lu turned his head and looked at me, smiled at me, and said lightly: "Well... no, if you don't grind something, you won't get the powder for seasoning!"
I pulled the corners of my mouth, smiled awkwardly, and agreed: "Ah...yes...you're right..."
Melk II instantly stood up from his seat with a confident smile on his face: "No problem, leave it to me!"
Alu and I looked up at the back of Melk II as she walked towards the basement. We were filled with curiosity and anticipation, wondering what kind of precious items she would take out from the basement.
In the basement, Melk II began to look for something. Her eyes scanned the ground, and finally stopped at a raised spot. She squatted down, pulled out the sharp kitchen knife from her waist, and quickly scratched the ground four times. With a crisp metal collision sound, the stone was lifted lightly, revealing an old box inside.
Melk II held an old box in her hands and walked towards the forging room. She came in front of us, stopped, and glanced at my and Alu's faces.
Melk II slowly opened the box, and a mysterious and ancient atmosphere came to his face. In the box, a sharp animal tooth lay quietly, emitting a faint glow.
Melk II stared at the tooth in the box, her eyes gleaming with confidence: "This is the tooth of Dragon King Dros, a legendary dragon king who is said to have lived for 10,000 years. Dros only grows one tooth in his lifetime, and he is the strongest dragon as the king of this world."
A Lu and I stared at the dragon tooth in Melk II's hand with wide eyes. We never thought that she would use such a precious material to make a kitchen knife.
Melk II put the box down, took out the dragon tooth inside, stared at it carefully and said, "This is a part of the dragon king's tooth. My master took it from the fossil that was found in Dros. But because of its high hardness, it is difficult to process, so it has been hidden for many years!"
[Little knowledge: The process of fossil formation includes the decomposition of soft tissues after the death of animals, and the preservation of hard tissues such as bones and teeth; over time, the hard tissues are surrounded by sedimentary layers and mineralized; thousands of years later, crustal movement raises the fossils to a place close to the surface; erosion and collapse of rocks expose the fossils. ]
"If we use Melk's stardust, we can polish this and achieve grinding!" Melk II raised his head, holding the dragon tooth in his hand, looking at me and A'lu with excitement.
