Goblin Dependency

Moreover, because the movement speed was far inferior to the opponent, there was almost no chance of escape, running a few steps would lead to taking two cuts from a Wind Blade, or getting shocked a few times.

In such a situation, even if one’s Defense Ability is strong, countless minor wounds accumulate and eventually turn into serious injuries that can affect one’s life.

"This can’t go on any longer!"

After all, he was a senior with rich adventure experience, knowing that continuing like this was a slow death, a hint of determination flashed in Iron Grid’s eyes.

Coincidentally, a small cave appeared in the soil slope between the trees ahead.

Without any hesitation, he almost crashed straight into it.

Although the Air Element is an energy creature capable of freely passing through barriers like gaps, its abilities to manipulate cyclones and Lightning require a certain amount of space to be used, and the narrow environment of the cave highly limited its effectiveness;

Furthermore, due to the cave’s passageway compressing its body too much, it would also affect its movement speed to some extent, directly eliminating its flying advantage, and because the air in the cave was relatively thinner compared to the outside world, it also had a suppressive effect on it.

This was the best response plan Iron Grid could think of in haste.

As for what to do if they encounter a dead end, or how to handle it if the Air Element continues to pursue them despite these limitations...

Right now, this hybrid of Dwarf and barbarian could no longer consider so much.

"Bang!"

As Iron Grid rushed into the cave, the originally bright light suddenly dimmed, and the surrounding rock walls amplified the sharp howling of the Air Element behind him.

But unexpectedly, for some unknown reason, instead of narrowing and closing as expected, the cave tunnel visibly expanded with each step.

The diameter gradually extended from a few meters to more than ten meters, and even wider.

This caused the Air Element behind him not only to not weaken but to become more violent due to the increasingly turbulent environment.

Wind Blades and Lightning repeatedly landed on Iron Grid.

And just as this adventurer was about to fall into a desperate situation, he suddenly felt something trip his feet.

Momentarily losing balance, his fast-moving body floated, falling.

One second, two seconds...

In the darkness, Iron Grid felt as if he had fallen into the Abyss, continuously falling, unable to touch the ground.

It might have been ten seconds, or maybe even longer.

Bright and dazzling light burst forth from what seemed like a distant tunnel exit below, expanding as the distance closed, finally engulfing Iron Grid.

Instinctively squinting due to being unaccustomed to the sudden brightness, when he reopened his eyes, he was stunned to discover.

Below was no longer the pitch-black darkness; instead, it was a massive cave illuminated by various light sources, larger than anything he had ever seen.

The ground seemed covered with a special yellow carpet, glittering under the lamplight... Wait! That wasn’t a carpet, it was...

Gold Coins!

It was an immense collection of Gold Coins, shimmering with luxurious luster, nearly covering the entire floor and piled into mounds!

"Boom!"

For the first time in his life, Iron Grid experienced the comforting sensation of being buried in Gold Coins.

Above, the howling of the Air Element had ceased.

He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, struggling to climb out from the hill of Gold Coins.

Before he could carefully observe the surroundings, a pair of crystalline eyes filled with curious light had already caught his attention.

—A Red Dragon cub, appearing to have just been born, with only two protrusions for horns on its head and tender scales.

Iron Grid’s breath suddenly caught, his entire body becoming rigid.

It wasn’t that he was afraid of this dragon cub, evidently not long hatched and estimated to be just a few years old.

It was because he suddenly realized.

A habitat with vast wealth, and a newly born young dragon.

It’s certainly possible for the two to appear simultaneously.

But at the same time, beyond these two, there should be an even more significant element present.

Which is... the owner of this nest, the parent of this Dragon Cub.

Suddenly, a wave of hot air filled with the scent of sulfur, accompanied by the sudden encroaching shadow, came from above.

At this moment, Iron Grid felt as if his heart had stopped beating.

With an unprecedented expression of humility, he slowly and cautiously, as gently as possible, raised his head.

Reflected in his eyes was a pair of giant vertical pupils resembling a scorching sun, and the fangs and jaws that turned into an afterimage in his sight from their rapid movement.

On the coast of the Real World, the blue light enveloping a burly man’s body dissipated, and he slowly descended to the ground.

In the Secret Realm, the young dragon blinked lightly at the mother dragon it had just recently met, gazing curiously at the cluster of blue light suspended in mid-air ahead.

It tilted its head slightly.
