Chapter 59: Belleris's Dragon Cave

Leaving some Blood Dragon Guards to look after the horses, Gavin led the other Blood Dragon Guards into the huge building. The interior was also severely damaged, with stones scattered all over the ground, and occasionally broken huge iron chains and broken weapons could be seen. But the general shape was still intact, and the layout and structure of the past could be vaguely distinguished.

As he walked, Gavin slowly explored inside and saw some remaining murals. Although the color of the murals had faded for the most part, the general content could still be seen.

There were some fierce dragon fighting scenes painted on them, with giant dragons tumbling in the air, spitting flames, and the battle was thrilling.

Through these remaining murals, Gavin saw that this was a dragon fight between Belleris and other dragons. Obviously, this painting recorded how the Belleris family gained absolute power in the internal struggle of Valyria.

Gavin continued to walk inside until he was blocked by the collapsed ruins in front of him. Countless stones piled up together, tightly blocking the road.

Gavin thought about it and judged a general direction based on the records. The Blood Dragon Guard immediately stepped forward and dug hard.

Finally, after clearing a part of the ruins, a passage that had not collapsed completely was exposed behind. Gavin and his party walked in without hesitation, but the passage was soon blocked again.

In desperation, they could only start digging in the approximate direction again. In this way, they dug all the way and moved forward all the way.

There was even a serious collapse on the way, with rubble rolling down and dust flying.

Finally, Gavin found the stone door with the emblem of the Belleris family painted on it behind the base of the statue, which was the same as the pattern on Gavin's dragon bone pendant.

Under the great force of the Blood Dragon Guard, the stone door was slowly pushed open, and a spiral staircase built on the stone wall appeared in front of Gavin.

Gavin walked down the stairs, and the whole staircase was like a winding python. The torchlight illuminated the cave, and the light and shadow intertwined. The unevenness of the stone wall made the shadows unpredictable, as if performing a mysterious dance.

Gavin walked carefully, with slight footsteps and panting sounds accompanying each step. As they continued to go down, the light gradually increased, and when they walked to the bottom, there was gradually a little light.

Then, Gavin and his team entered an extremely empty cave. Looking up, a huge volcanic crack appeared above their heads.

Through the crack, they could see the gloomy gray sky outside. Obviously, they had entered the interior of the volcano, and the crater above was also the passage for the dragon to enter and exit.

Continue to move forward to the depths. As they went deeper and deeper into the dragon cave, Gavin felt the temperature around him slowly rising, and the unknown corrosive energy gradually weakened. After walking through a winding road extending downward, he came to the bottom.

The temperature here was extremely high, and the heat was blowing in his face, but at this time Gavin found that the unknown energy that had been corroding him before had completely disappeared.

According to the diary, this is the bottom of the volcano. Going further ahead, there is magma, which is where the treasure house set up by Belleris's family is.

Finally, after passing through a huge cave, Gavin arrived at the place where the magma was. A lake formed by magma was boiling, rolling hot waves, and making a "gurgling" roar. There are many huge caves around the magma lake, which are bottomless.

In the center of the magma, a giant dragon skull as big as a sailboat lies across it, like a towering island. The huge dragon head is raised high, and although it has no breath of life, it still exudes majesty and mystery.

There are several huge stone tablets at the entrance of the cave, and Gavin walked towards the stone tablet.

The stone tablet is vicissitudes and simplicity. The whole body of the tablet is carved from an unknown blood-red stone. The high-level Valyrian language engraved on it seems to be telling the vicissitudes of time. Gavin looked at it carefully and quickly sorted out the information inside.

Written on it is the record of the Belleris family building a dragon cave here, as well as the family's skills in hatching and training dragons.

Belleris, the strongest dragon in the family, died here. Since then, he often lived in the magma when he was old, until he died in the magma, leaving only a head floating on the surface of the magma.

As Belleris died, his flesh and blood merged into the magma. The family's fire wizards found that the magma below had changed greatly. Placing dragon eggs here can preserve and enhance the vitality of dragon eggs, and even placing dead eggs that cannot be hatched here can slowly recover.

So the fire wizards of the Belleris family transformed this place and built a secret dragon cave for preserving dragon eggs and hatching dragons.

Not far from the stone tablet, a huge stone door was embedded in a natural cave. Gavin guessed that this was where the treasure house was.

He pushed the door and walked in, and saw countless damaged wooden boxes, gold scattered in the boxes, and some filled with various gems, constantly shining with bright light.

There was a collapsed bookshelf in the center of the treasure house, which contained some books. Gavin wanted to read it, but he touched it lightly and the books turned into ashes. Obviously, the high temperature environment here and the long hundreds of years completely destroyed the knowledge.

After searching for a long time, Gavin finally found some ornaments made of Valyrian steel. The only weapon was a dagger.

Then he found a dragon bone bow in the corner. Gavin was not so eager for the dragon bone bow at present. He had obtained a lot of dragon bones in these years. The bow body made of it could indeed withstand the burning of the flaming arrows, but the bowstring could not. He tried many materials and could not do it.

For this reason, he still used a wooden bow as a disposable item, and he thought that wooden bows were more cost-effective than dragon bone bows.

Thinking of this, Gavin picked up the dragon bone bow and observed it carefully. Seeing that the bowstring was made of animal tendons, he had some expectations in his heart.

He began to experiment nervously, and the flame arrow appeared on the bow out of thin air, and the bowstring was intact. Gavin couldn't help laughing. This bow was simply a magic weapon for him.

Excited Gavin handed the dragon bone bow to the blood dragon guard beside him, and searched carefully for a long time, not letting go of every corner, but in the end there was no new discovery.

In desperation, Gavin went out to see the skull of Belleris in the center of the magma, but when he got to the edge of the magma, Gavin was in trouble.

Looking at the boiling magma, he hesitated in his heart, not knowing how to get to the dragon bone island in the center.

Although he has the ability to resist fire, he is not sure whether he can withstand the high temperature of the magma.

After hesitating for a long time, Gavin made up his mind and gently put his hand into the lava. He felt it was quite hot, but he could barely bear it.
