As he walked into the cave, he faintly heard the sound of dripping water. A strange wind whistled past, so cold that it penetrated his bones. Li Mo shivered for a moment and suddenly felt his hair stand on end.

He thought to himself that he might as well go back. On second thought, he didn’t want to go back just like that after he managed to come out. Then, he took a few deep breaths and continued to walk forward.

After walking for another 100 meters or so, Li Mo started to see faint light in the tunnel. Li Mo could see things more clearly.

The stone walls around the cave were densely engraved with pictures. It told the story of when the first dragon fell from the sky, to when it was discovered by the humans, elves, and giants. They were all vividly drawn, and it was clear at a glance.

Just as he was about to continue looking, some of the murals became blurry because they had been covered by dew for a long time.

Li Mo could only skip the blurry patterns and continue walking down. At the end, there was the appearance of the Dragon Slayer and the current state of the Dragon Kingdom.

From the appearance of the first dragon until now, the Dragon Kingdom had experienced all kinds of changes and wars.

At the end of the mural, a huge black dragon was hovering in the air, overlooking the Dragon Palace below it.

Li Mo guessed that the huge dragon was the current Dragon Queen, Melia. The entire stone wall was like a history book. Every once in a while, someone would come and record some important events in the form of pictures on the stone wall.

As he continued to walk further in, the light became stronger and stronger. The tunnel also became wider and wider. Seeing that the light was dazzlingly bright not far away, Li Mo quickly walked forward.

What greeted his eyes was a huge cave. The brightness inside the cave was completely different from the light outside the tunnel.

Li Mo took a closer look and his eyes widened. The walls of the cave were actually filled with crystals! Crystal pillars of different sizes and shapes were growing on the stone walls.

It was not an exaggeration to say that the light reflected by these crystals could really dazzle one’s eyes.

Seeing that there was another cave connected to it, Li Mo did not want to continue going deeper. However, the scene inside made Li Mo even more dumbfounded.

In the connected cave, the walls were filled with all kinds of crystal jewelry. Not only that, the ground was also piled with all kinds of gold products. There were also many gold coins from different kingdoms scattered on the ground.

Li Mo picked up a scepter made of pure gold with a huge ruby on the top. He looked around and saw piles of similar scepters and even crowns!

Li Mo cursed in his heart. If he were here to steal the treasures, he would have made a fortune just by taking a few pieces from here. What was the point of learning magic?

He could not help but walk to the front of the mountain of jewels. Li Mo squatted down and fiddled with the colorful jewels, crowns, and scepters.

He looked around and saw mountains of gold, silver and gems. So, this was the little treasury of the Dragon Kingdom! No wonder they had arranged two guards outside.

However, the guards were too careless. Weren’t they afraid that others would come in and empty the treasury?

In western legends, unlike the auspicious dragon represented in Chinese mythology, the Westerners believed that dragons were evil. They represented evil and greed. They would do anything to harm the interests of humans.

At the same time, the legends described in detail that the dragons were extremely greedy for money. In ancient times, after the birth of the dragon, it used its size to plunder wealth unscrupulously. Eventually, the dragons mastered magic and continued to invade others’ territories.

After that, the dragons began to establish themselves as the king. It gathered its companions, reproduced in the occupied territory, and regarded other races as slaves.

However, later on, the people of the various races began to unite. In order to fight against the brutal dragon race, a Dragon Slayer was born.

The Dragon Slayer wore armor and held a longsword, bow, and arrow in his hands. He launched a war against the dragon race.

Over time, the dragon race was outnumbered. They used magic to quell the war. They reached an agreement with the people of the various races lived together peacefully. They even returned more than half of the land they had plundered back to the other races.

In the end, they were cursed by the giant race, and their descendants were few ever since.

However, after that war, many people on the Saka Continent still see the dragon as a symbol of power and wealth.

He still remembered that his father, King Lisgar, once told him that the dragons loved to collect gold and jewelry. They also loved to live in caves made of gold and sleep on piles of gemstones.

Therefore, even if the dragons were not as strong as they were in ancient times, they were not something that mere humans could provoke.

It seemed that this rumor was not false.

Even the room that Maria had arranged for him was extravagant. Everything was either made of gemstones or gold.

It was probably because he had never seen so many treasures in his entire life. Li Mo rolled up his sleeves and rummaged through the piles of treasure. He picked up each one and examined them, pretending that he owned them.

Just as Li Mo was deeply immersed in the treasures, he realized that something was wrong.

He looked back at the floor. As it was used as a storage, the floor of the cave was only slightly flattened. There were no bricks or cement in it. Coupled with the long-term humidity, it was easy to leave some marks when one walks inside.

At this moment, under the golden light, he noticed a messy trails on the floor. He could not help but lift his feet and look at the sole of his shoe.

The clothes he was wearing now were prepared by someone under the orders of Queen Melia, so he was now wearing the clothes and shoes of the Dragon Kingdom. There were some auspicious cloud-like patterns on the sole of the shoes. As the floor was covered in mud, the soles of these shoes could prevent slipping.

Unlike the patterns on his shoes, the messy footprints on the floor did not have these patterns. The footprints were smoother, and they were of different sizes.

Li Mo was very familiar with these patterns. They resembled the ones he used to wear.

This meant that the messy footprints came from the human race! And they were humans outside of the palace!

The human slaves in the Dragon Palace all wore the clothes of the Dragon Kingdom. No one would wear these shoes. Moreover, if one observed carefully, there were at least five people who came in.

Were they thieves? And they were no ordinary thieves. They must have cultivated magic. Otherwise, they would not have passed through the layer of black fog outside the Dragon Palace.

Li Mo looked around and soon found that behind a mountain of gold, there was a very inconspicuous secret passage.
