Chapter 9: Dragon Egg and Potion

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Looking at the sharp arrowheads on both sides and the floor tiles in the middle that could sink at any time, Su Ce fell into deep thought.

If he wanted to obtain the dragon egg, he had to pass through the flame trap in front of him. But if he wanted to pass through safely, he had to step on all seven tiles correctly. Otherwise, he would face flames and arrows.

It was basically impossible to get through this by guessing. If he wanted to pass, he had to observe carefully or use other tricks.

Su Ce slowly walked over. He wanted to find the tiles that would set off the traps by observing their height differences.

However, other than the gaps between the floor tiles in front of him, everything was the same. This method didn’t work at all.

He began to check the surrounding mechanisms, wanting to know what was powering these things.

But obviously, the person who set up the flame trap had already thought of this.

The walls on both sides didn’t have any prominent structures other than the firing holes.

Seeing that he couldn’t find any flaws in the trap through observation, Su Ce had no choice but to look around, planning to use other methods to get through it.

He bent down and picked up a fist-sized ore from the ground. Then he took a few steps back and threw the ore at the floor that triggered the mechanisms.

The gray ore drew a parabola in the air and slammed into a tile in the second row.

Immediately afterward, Su Ce heard the sound of hinges moving in the empty cave.

The next second, the golden lions on both sides immediately spat out two-meter-long fiery red flames from their mouths, instantly illuminating the entire cave.

At the same time, the firing holes on both sides suddenly shot out more than ten arrows, which stabbed into the opposite wall.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Su Ce felt troubled.

With so many floor tiles in front of him that would trigger the mechanisms, it was obviously unrealistic to use just stones to trigger it.

In addition, he was in a poor state now, with the muscles all over his body sore. With his current condition, it was impossible for him to rely on his reaction speed and agility to dodge the mechanisms.

The sprayed flames and shot arrows almost covered the entire range of the flame trap.

If he accidentally triggered them, he likely wouldn’t even have the chance to escape.

There was no clue in his mind, and there were no usable items around. Bored, Su Ce walked to the tiles again.

At this moment, he was surprised to find that the tile that had been hit by the stone didn’t rise back to its original position. Instead, it was still in a sunken state, about 10 centimeters lower than the other tiles.

With a flash of inspiration, Su Ce took out the pickaxe, whose durability had decreased by about half, and began to dig the surrounding walls.

A series of clangs reverberated in the cave.

In a few minutes, Su Ce took down seven pieces of ore weighing about 10 kilograms each from the sturdy walls.

These iron ores were not worth much, so Professionals didn’t choose to enter this section of the mine after seeing that it was full of black iron ores.

But in the current situation, these ores became the key to Su Ce breaking through the trap!

He lined up the ores of different shapes on the ground and pushed the last one to move the one in front toward the flame trap.

The seven pieces of ore formed a line of about four meters long. Su Ce could rely on the length of this line to avoid the damage of the trap.

Soon, he pushed the first ore into the first row of the flame trap.

As he expected, the moment the ore hit the floor tile, the golden lions on both sides immediately spewed out dazzling flames.

A series of air-piercing sounds rang out as the arrows fired from the fire holes stabbed into the large ore, almost turning it into a porcupine.

It looks like my ore friends have to work a little harder.

Seeing that his plan was working, Su Ce immediately continued to push the ores.

These heavy ores pressed down the tiles of the second and third rows bit by bit. For a while, flames rose everywhere, and arrows shot out like rain.

After about two minutes, Su Ce had already triggered most of the traps.

Because the ores were pressing down on the tiles, they couldn’t spring back into position, so he could reach the other end of the cave by stepping on the ores.

But this plan was not perfect. Because when the ores encountered the last two tiles in the flame trap, they directly failed.

Even though there was ten kilograms of ore weighing down on the white tiles, there was still no movement.

It seemed that the trigger method of the last two tiles was not as simple as stepping on them.

Looking at the other tiles that had mostly been destroyed, Su Ce couldn’t find any other way to pass.

But the distance between the two tiles was less than two meters. He could easily cross it by jumping with a run-up.

Under the attraction of the dragon egg, Su Ce was tempted.

He no longer hesitated and took a few steps back.

He immediately erupted with all the remaining power in his body and rushed toward the dragon egg.

He ran, jumped, and landed in one go.

At first, he thought that everything was over, but when he passed through two tiles and landed on the ground, the black ground he stepped on suddenly sank ten centimeters!

“Shit!” Su Ce’s expression changed drastically. Without any time to think, he rushed toward the dragon egg.

In the next second, the two golden lions beside the walls immediately turned around and shot flames at where Su Ce had been standing.

The continuously surging tongues of fire almost melted the tiles on the ground and even raised the temperature of the entire cave.

Fortunately, Su Ce’s reaction was fast enough to escape the area before the flames swallowed him.

Touching his burning back, Su Ce felt a lingering fear.

He didn’t expect that the last two tiles of the flame trap were actually decoys and that the real fatal one was the trigger behind that was disguised as black ground.

If Su Ce had run out of the range of the flames half a second later, he might have been burned to ashes by the intense heat.

Lying on the ground and panting heavily, Su Ce struggled to stand up.

Looking at the red dragon egg in the haystack not far away, he quickened his pace and immediately revealed a look of joy on his face.

The dragon egg was right in front of him. It gave him great hope.

With the help of adrenaline, he had already forgotten about the pain and sadness, leaving only excitement.

[Prompt: Unknown fire-element dragon egg discovered.]

[Unknown Dragon Egg]

Type: Fire-Element Dragon

Usage: This is a genuine dragon egg. It can be hatched with the Dragon God Affinity talent.

Looking at the system prompt that popped up in front of him, Su Ce immediately felt relieved.

He had been worried that after putting in all his effort, a certain beast would appear in front of him.

But now, Su Ce no longer had any worries.

He immediately walked forward and carefully examined the dragon egg that was constantly emitting a faint light.

As he approached, he found two long bottles of some potion in the haystack behind the dragon egg!
