Chapter 41 Hard as steel (2/2)

Froze for a moment, Shaar immediately pulled out the pitchfork and when he landed on the floor, he suddenly felt his hand sinking to the ground.

Did this pitchfork just increase it weight compare to before?

Taking a closer look, Shaar saw that this black pitchfork was still same as before. With its pitch-black appearance which did not show the tiniest light of sharpness ……Although the naked eye could not see any difference, he felt that there was something strange.

Pondering for a moment, he suddenly noticed ……There was unexpectedly not a single trace of bloodstain on this pitchfork?

Only those unparalleled razor-sharp weapons used by those godly warriors in legends could kill people without leaving a single trace of blood on them. Could it be that this pitchfork was the same?

Gently stroking the pitchfork with his hand, he really could not feel the tiniest traces of bloodstain of it……

However, how did the weight increased? Shaar was slightly dazed, but quickly relaxed in his mind. He was probably tired and his arm was getting heavy.

Sitting cross-legged next to the dragon’s head, Ada looked at it with a chilling smile. He gently put his hand on that item and stroked it. Keeping his mouth shut, he quietly waited for the dragon’s death.

The dragon could not move anymore and the many wounds on its whole body continued to bleed. Its strength was slowly fading away and the most important part was that the dragon’s Breath coming out of its nostril was gradually slowing down.

Giving it a look, Shaar immediately ran towards the dragon’s lair……

This cave on the summit was enormous, but not too deep. One could instantly see the end of it and when Shaar sprinted into cave, as if struck by lightning, he became stupefied!!

Treasures, buried treasure?!!

Looking in front of him a hill piled up together with a bunch of things, Shaar’s mouth suddenly dropped down. He started to make a “gege” sound with his throat and his faces became distorted……

After quite a while, the hillbilly suddenly uttered an earthshaking yell full of grief!

“Mother***, this is the buried treasure?!!!!!”

In legend, dragons all like shiny things ……Correct!

In legends, dragons all like glittering and translucent things ……Also correct!!

However ……In legends, the dragon’s lair was full of gold, diamonds and gems ……This was not correct!!

In this world, although there were not many dragons, but the actual quantity was still quite a lot. If each dragon collected gold and gems…… How much gold and gems would this world need?

Therefore ……In front of Shaar, was a big pile of…..

A big pile of different kind of stones! They had various shapes, round, oval, square, angular……

All these stones were sparkling and shiny ……However these stones were definitely not gems!

Although Shaar lived in the mountain, it was not like he did not saw those kinds of things before. The name of this type of stones was “quartz”!

The texture of this material was not hard, even a bit fragile. The mountain where he lived had such a kind of mine. Some human caravans occasionally came by and collected this type of stones and went back……

This stone biggest use was……

Burning into glass.

……

Shaar went mad! He frantically rushed towards it and started digging maliciously inside the piled of stones. Turning this pile upside down, he finally found several pieces of thumb size metal……Judging from quality of the material, possibly, perhaps ……It was gold?

It was indeed gold, but in such a big pile of glass stones, these gold pieces were rather too scarce!!

Shaar was so enraged that his eyes turned red and turned around to rush towards Ada while roaring: “Where is the buried treasure? The gold? The buried treasure?? Inside there is only a big pile of stones!! A big pile of glass stones!!!”

Ada who was already expecting this result sat there while showing a faint smile: “Did you look closely?

“Look closely! It’s a big pile of stones!!! Glass stones! Don’t think that I would not recognize that kind of stuff! That kinds of stuff are everywhere on the mountain where I live!! What I want is gold! It is gems!!!”

Ada gave off a long loud laugh with a tone full of ridicule: “Gold? Most gold in this world was already made into coins by the human empires or collected by those powerful elites. How much gold do you think a dragon can get?”

Ada Lifted his finger to point towards north: “Perhaps in the north, the northern territories belong to the dragons. There you might be able to find a lot. However here is the middle of continent and human territory. Dora arrived here to live in seclusion. How could she go outside to collect some gold? If she began to collect and rob gold and gems everywhere, her whereabouts would have already been discovered by humans – could you not figure out such a simple truth?”

Shaar wanted to refute and opened his mouth, but after thinking carefully, this argument was indisputable.

“But ……this uncle came here to look for gold! Without getting any gain from this, this uncle will get very angry!!” Shaar clenched his pitchfork and a burning fire lit up in his eyes.

Ada smiled and pointed towards the dragon: “Buried treasure? This dragon corpse was more valuable than any gold mountains!”

He touched the wound on the dragon’s neck: “Sees this blood? The blood of a dragon has very strong magical properties inside. If you wipe the blood on your body, later if you get attacked, your body will become hard as steel. It can even resist against most attacks from experts! According to those ancient legends, the brave warriors who slaughtered a dragon and bathed in dragon blood, would obtain a natural defense against swords and spears. The legend actually does have some sort of authenticity.”

Taken by surprise, Shaar immediately sprinted back and stripped all his clothes in front of Ada. Using both his hand, he grab the dragon blood and smeared it all over his body.

Then suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind and he remembered that Ada said “hard as steel”. The hillbilly squinted his eyes and saw that Ada had turned his back towards him and grabbed a handful dragon blood before fiercely rubbing it against his most precious piece several times……

TL: That my friends, is how you obtain balls of steel!
