Option 62.5 6.3%, Option 31.2 [-]%, Option [-] [-]%.

……

【Option [-]】

【Jump in like this】

Advantage: Must get rid of kobolds

Disadvantage: May fall in front of blue dragons
……

"Just jump in like this... just jump in like this!?"

Is it really okay?

Zheng Zhuo felt a little uneasy in his heart, but this uneasiness was quickly dispelled by the approaching footsteps of the kobold army.

Zheng Zhuo didn't want to fight the kobolds head-on!
"Hey, hello!"

Zhuang Yusheng couldn't maintain [stealth] anymore - his stealth level was too low, and it was already useless when he was closely watched.

He followed closely behind Zheng Zhuo, and kept turning his head to look at the approaching kobolds and their hideous mounts.

"Is there any good way, use it quickly, use it quickly!"

He yelled anxiously.

"Fireball! Chain! What kind of hand—infinite healing! Combining it? I know you have a good idea! Big brother, big brother! Think of a way! There is a passage ahead—hey, hey, hey! Passage, passage ! Run again, and we will fall in!"

"It's just about to fall in!"

Zheng Zhuo said quickly.His running speed not only did not slow down, but accelerated.

"Going to jump!"

"Jump... what!?"

The kobolds behind them bent their bows and set arrows, and clusters of arrows flew like raindrops.Zheng Zhuo jumped forward and jumped into the passage.

"what--!"

Seeing Zheng Zhuo jumping into the tunnel and sliding all the way down, Zhuang Yusheng was completely dumbfounded.

But he couldn't stop here either.

"I'm really going to die...I said! I'm really going to die this time—ah——!"

There's no way he'd be alone up there, in front of hundreds of angry kobolds!
Zhuang Yusheng gritted his teeth and jumped down.

……

Zheng Zhuo fell down on the ramp.The momentum he jumped in was too strong, and now, he slid down at an extremely fast speed.

The rain of arrows flew over his head and landed around his body tinkling.He heard a scream from behind, followed by Zhuang Yusheng's voice behind him.

The creaking sound of the clothes rubbing against the smooth passage was mixed with the sound of the wind, and continued, echoing in the passage.The yellowish light of the fluorite kept fading from the eyes, and the vision quickly dimmed, and then changed from yellowish to blue.

Going to the fourth floor.

The lighting starts from yellow fluorite, and turns to blue crystal.

rustling.

Zheng Zhuo fell all the way.The blue light is getting brighter and brighter...

At last.

The slope slowed down.

He stopped at the bottom of the ramp.

……

For a moment, Zheng Zhuo's breathing stopped.

Because, what he fell into was not a lair of beasts...but a shocking, work-of-art space.

Blue and gold light illuminates the only room on the fourth floor: a stone chamber.The cave roof, the cave wall, and all the places that can be seen are blue crystals, large and small, scattered in an orderly manner.Each blue crystal only emits a faint soft light, however, there are so many of them that the entire stone room is as bright as an ice palace.

A dry and warm ice palace.

In the very center of this ice palace is the dazzling, golden mountain.Countless gold coins, bars, jewels, trinkets and crowns piled together.Gorgeous and luxurious.I am afraid that any treasure in this golden hill can be regarded as a family treasure by the earls of the palace thousands of miles away.

But now, like twigs picked at random by birds, they are randomly packed among the sapphires, piled up high, and become nest material.

In the world, there is only one creature that can afford such luxurious nest materials.

Zheng Zhuo was speechless.He looks ahead.

Sapphires are not the focus of this stone room, nor are gold coins, nor are jewelry.

The center of this chamber, among all the sapphires, on top of the mountain of treasure...

There is a blue dragon entrenched there.

It was a huge blue dragon.Its eyes were larger than the skull of a full-grown human, and its long, broad snout was hidden under its paws.Its scales are dim blue, and the blue seems to have some kind of magical power, Zheng Zhuo just stared at it for a moment, and then his attention was taken away - even the brilliance of sapphire was eclipsed in front of them.

In the end, it was the movement of the dragon's tail that woke Zheng Zhuo up.

Its tail wagged slightly behind it, gliding across the face of Treasure Hill.The tail stood up.The height of the tail alone is higher than the tallest windmill that Zheng Zhuo has seen in the town.

"..."

For a moment, Zheng Zhuo thought that the blue dragon had found himself.However, it put its tail down again.

The blue dragon closed his eyes.It doesn't seem to be sleeping soundly. Occasionally, its eyelids will wrinkle forcefully, making Zheng Zhuo almost think that it will open its eyes in the next second.

Its heavy snort inhales and exhales.The body shrinks and swells accordingly.

The ground is moving.The entire stone chamber trembled with its breath.

This is the blue dragon Zheng Zhuo saw when he entered the [Dungeon World].However, seeing it with my own eyes was much more shocking than it was then.

At this moment Zhuang Yusheng slid to the bottom and bumped into Zheng Zhuo's back.Zheng Zhuo, who was in shock, didn't even have a big reaction.

To find a sapphire the size of a thumb from under the body of such a monster...

Too exaggerated.

Zheng Zhuo raised his hand and opened the 【Appraisal】.

……

……

This is the first time Zheng Zhuo saw a monster with a name.It was also the first time he saw such a long skill table.It is roughly estimated that this ancient blue dragon has more than 50 skills, which are longer than his spell scroll, and most of the skills are Lv. The highest level you can have.

Zheng Zhuo read silently.

……

no.No play at all.No matter how you look at it, this ancient blue dragon is not something Zheng Zhuo can beat.

Now, his only hope is that this blue dragon won't wake up too early...

……wake up?
Zheng Zhuo realized one thing again.

[There are still 42 days until the world is destroyed]

Is the time before the world is destroyed the time when the blue dragon will wake up?

if it is like this……

...just find cracked sapphires before you get there.
