Accompanied by Ergou, Jose visited the remaining living areas No. 4 to 8. Except for the living areas No. 5, which has spring water, the other living areas have been abandoned and not worth mentioning.

“Is there anything else I haven’t been to?”

"There are only some abandoned tunnels. These tunnels were dug by our ancestors to explore new veins after the depletion of the mine veins. By the way!" Ergou remembered that there was still a place that had not been visited: "There are also mine caves that dig low-quality iron ore. Do you want to go and see them?"

"Let's go, as the owner of this land, I need to know every corner of the territory."

The entrance to the mine is located in the living area No. 8, and the passage is dug according to the figure of the dog-headed man, so Jose had to reduce his body size.

Through the narrow and deep tunnel, one master and one servant came to the hollow mining area. There were dark red spots on the rock walls of the mining area. This was the iron ore vein on which the Blood-Toothed Dog-Takeman tribe relied.

The ground in the mining area is covered with slag with clear water horns, and some pickaxes, shovels and other tools are scattered.

Jose enters the mining area.

“Huh?!”

He noticed something strange on the ground, and quickly bent down and pierced the slag on the surface, put the dragon's claws on the ground and felt the unusual temperature.

There is geothermal heat here!

Anyone who has studied geography knows that our world floats on lava layers, like a ship floating on the water surface, but the underground magma is not as flat as the water surface.

In the earth's crust, some substances have high melting points, some substances have low melting points, and low melting points will be corroded by high temperatures over a long period of time, thus forming underground hollows. Under the influence of pressure, lava rises to form underground lava lakes.

The heat from hot springs and geothermal heat comes from this type of lava lake closer to the surface, that is, there is magma below the mine cave.

Jose felt happy. The red dragon is a fire-type dragon. Living in a place rich in fire elements such as geothermal heat for a long time is of great benefit to the growth of the red dragon.

Perfect residence!

"Dear Master, I discovered that there was a lava lake below, so my ancestors had to give up digging downwards. Now we can only dig these inferior iron ore horizontally, all of which are slag," Ergou felt a little disappointed when he looked at the barren veins.

"Don't be discouraged, my servant, I have found a new vein."

It has to be said that the dragon's treasure hunting talent is really against the will. During the inspection just now, Jose felt the rhythm of the ore veins in the earth's veins, and the unique fragrance made the dragon fascinated.

"To the east of the living area No. 6, digging downward at an angle of 30 degrees in this direction can dig what you want."

Ergou also remembered that the dragons were treasure hunting experts, and his face showed joy from the bottom of his heart.

"Praise you! Great Master! You are such a blessing to the Blood-Tooth Tribe!"

"You're welcome, minerals, wealth, blood teeth, including you, are mine."

After walking around for a while, he felt that he knew almost the best of his knowledge of the mine.

"Go back, the people outside should be back."

One master and one servant turned around and walked towards the residential area No. 1, and heard noisy conversations from afar. They happened to meet the tribe members outside returning.

Jose stood at the edge of the No. 1 living area and looked down at his people.

The dog-headed people who stayed behind the camp rushed in from the entrance of the tunnel. They were dragging their families with their families, smiling and talking while walking. The barking of dogs was noisy.

Kowtags are intelligent races, and they use common languages ​​and a small number of dragon languages, and language is one of the main reasons why they are recognized as intelligent races.

However, the civilization of the dog-killer is too primitive. The jewelry on the body is made of animal bones and teeth. Most people are in the form of celestial bodies. Less than 30% of the dog-killer wears animal skin aprons or coarse crotch cloth.

It is worth mentioning that dog-headed people wear clothes not to cover up shame, but to show their status. In their eyes, clothes are more valuable decorations than bone decorations.

Seeing the red dragon, Soda and four dog-headed soldiers came over with the grilled food and presented them with their hands: "Master, please taste the food cooked by the dog-headed people."

Jose took the piece of meat worn with a wooden stick and sniffed it. It was the petrified lizard that he had just killed. Judging from the shape or the most essential thigh meat, he took a bite. Compared with the raw meat cooked with dragon breath, the original barbecue seemed so delicious.

"Yes, you're very attentive."

After receiving the recognition from the owner, Soda was delighted and bowed: "You enjoy it slowly, and more food is still being processed."

Jose turned his head and looked at the fire in the distance. There was a circle of kobolds rotating barbecue around the fire. In addition, there was a stew pot stand on the fire, and white air was emitted from the pot.

He walked over curiously, opened the lid of the stew pot, and a fishy steam came out. Then he saw the food in the pot - barley, petrified lizard internal organs, some unknown plant tuber, and vegetable leaves, stewed in a pot.

He heard the sound of the dog-headed people around him swallowing, and it was obvious that the food was prepared for them.

Jose put down the lid of the pot and said calmly: "Soda, tell me the tribe's food status."

"Most of the meat stored in the previous store were ruined by petrified lizards, but don't worry, master, I have sent someone out to hunt. Even if the soldiers fight for their lives, they will ensure enough meat supply."

Obviously, Soda misunderstood.

But it is not a mistake for him to misunderstand. No evil dragon has ever cared about whether the servants can eat enough. The evil dragon is a cruel conqueror, only caring about his own enjoyment. When he is hungry, even his relatives can use it to fill his stomach.

But the visitor from another world cannot be so cold-blooded. He cannot sit idly by and watch his younger brother go hungry while he enjoys himself, let alone treat his younger brother as food.

"Of course I have to eat meat, but my little brother must at least have soup." That's what he thought.

He changed to a more direct question: "How much food is left in the tribe? How long can you and your tribe members last?"

Soda was slightly stunned, and then realized that the owner was concerned about the tribe's grain reserves and was moved: "Don't worry, the petrified lizards only eat meat, and the grains stored in the past were well preserved, which was enough for the tribe's two months of consumption."

"What about two months later?"

"Two months later..." Soda's voice became smaller and smaller.

Yes, two months later, the Blood-Toothed Dog-Callant tribe has no source of food. They have already had a quarrel with the trading partner, the Gray-tailed Centaur tribe, so naturally they cannot trade food with minerals like before. The food they hunt and gather can't support so many people at all.

The worst thing is that in two months... winter is coming!

In the past, when the mountains were covered with heavy snow in winter, many tribesmen starved to death and froze to death. What's more, this year's fall in love with the centaurs and lost their main food source. It can be foreseeable how the blood-tooth mine would be like this winter.

Could it be that we will go to war with the zombies again, which will reduce the tribe's mouths that consume food, and on the other hand, we will use the enemy's corpses and even the dead on our own as food.

As soon as he thought of this, Soda shivered.

Jose finished the barbecue in his hand bite and threw the stick down.

"From now on, the inferior mine vein will be renamed the No. 9 living area, which is my residence. Ordinary dog-headed people are not allowed to enter. You two can come to me if you have any questions. Also, my brother, that is, the White Dragon, will take him to the No. 5 living area after he comes in, and he will like the spring water there."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the petrified lizard nest, took out the lizard eggs in the nest, and then walked into the tunnel and disappeared from the sight of the dog-headed man.

Back in the nest with geothermal heat, he put down his lizard eggs and examined his new home. If nothing unexpected happens, he will live here for a long time.

"First, in order to avoid using body size reduction every time I go home, I have to widen the tunnel a little, then expand the nest a little, and finally prepare some emergency passages, at least two, preferably three."

He did it right away and began to transform his new home.

The excavation efficiency of dragon claws is very high, but the project volume is too large. It took three days for Jose to satisfy the renovation of the new home.

At this time, the appearance of the inferior mine area changed drastically, turning into a huge underground space with a diameter of 100 meters. The top of the cave was transformed into a circular arch and the ground was also leveled and renovated.

Three emergency passages were built, two of which were located on both sides of the cave, digging up diagonally until the roots of the tree were seen underground. The third passage was dug straight downward, leading to the lava lake underground. If you had no choice, you could directly lift the stone slab and jump into the magma lake to take refuge.

"Sleep at ease and sleep with peace of mind."

He patted the dusty dragon claws and lay in the middle of the cave with satisfaction.
Chapter completed!
