  "These armors are all carefully crafted by our dwarves, not only sturdy and light, but also able to resist low-level magic attacks. And those weapons have been tempered a thousand times, extremely sharp, in human cities each one can sell for hundreds of gold coins." Big Beard enthusiastically introduced, his heart feeling like being cut with a knife.

  "This is all the savings of our dwarven clan for hundreds of years! Thor above, why bring us these devils!" Bigbeard lamented in his heart.

  "Rubbish." Li Junshan circled around his armor, which was as big as a small hill, and said, "With so many, how can I carry them away?"

  "Don't you have a spatial ring?" The big beard was somewhat incredulous, this young summoner had so many freakish summoned beasts, any one of which would be considered strong, how could he not even have a spatial ring?

  "What do you have?" Li Junshan swiftly jumped to the side of the big-bearded man, staring at him and saying: "It's best if you don't deceive me."

  Big Beard was so angry that he wanted to slap himself twice, but he didn't say a word and just grumbled. Suddenly, he felt something sharp poking the back of his head, and his soul left his body. He quickly took off a black ring tied around his neck with a rope and handed it to Li Junshan.

  Li Junshan took a look at the ring in his hand, which was made of unknown material, black and heavy, with strange symbol patterns engraved on its surface, looking ordinary.

  "You're kidding me, this thing is a space ring, it doesn't look like anything special."

  "How dare I deceive you, noble Summoner sir? This is made of the finest Seventh Degree Golden material. You only need to re-pledge your blood oath and then rub your finger on the ring's surface, and it will be usable." The big-bearded man said in a low voice, his face ashen.

  Li Junshan suddenly thought of a very critical issue, his blood had strong corrosive properties, and even steel could easily melt away, he didn't know how the ring would be.

  The temptation of the space ring was too great, and Li Junshan couldn't help but lightly scratch a small cut on the sharp sword beside him with his finger, and when fresh blood seeped out, he quickly dripped it onto the surface of the ring in his hand.

  A miracle occurred, the ring's surface was like a dry desert, and in an instant, it absorbed that drop of fresh blood. Li Junshan hurriedly rubbed his finger on the ring's surface, suddenly, he felt that inside the ring appeared a void space, about 300 or 400 cubic meters.

  Everyone's eyes were fixed on the space ring, and no one noticed that the sword blade used by Li Junshan to cut his finger had a small notch corroded by blood.

  Li Junshan finally understood why the big beard was unwilling to hand over this space ring, and his face turned pale. Inside the space ring, a pile of objects that shone with golden light were neatly arranged, like iron but not iron, and more dazzling than gold.

  "Respected Summoner, that... Adamantite Core... could it be... returned to me..." Big Beard stammered out.

  "What's with the iron core?" Li Junshan pretended to be confused and shook his head, saying: "I didn't see anything."

  Ignoring the mustache that was almost in tears, Li Junshan followed Fate's prompt and swung the seal at the pile of armor, causing the mountain-like armor to instantly disappear from view. With the same trick, he also collected the pile of weapons.

  Suddenly, a clear and melodious sound echoed through the sky, even though they were in the mountain cave at that moment, they could hear it clearly. Before they could react, another low and gloomy beast roar started, lingering on and on, never-ending.

  "Let's go." Li Junshan guessed that the Golden Eyed Demon Carving or the Black Dragon had made a cry, and since they couldn't afford to waste any more time here, he hastily summoned out the mounts. Several people got on them separately and rushed out of the cave.

  The big beard looked at the empty mountain cave and finally couldn't help but burst into loud sobs.

  "What is this thing?" Li Junshan's consciousness probed the space ring, loudly asking Fatuo about that pile of strange metal inside.

  Fate shook his head, the alien's speed was too fast, a strong gust of wind hit him right in the face, and he could hardly open his mouth.

  "I've heard it from Father." Sally closely followed Li Junshan on his right side, she already had the strength of a mid-level warrior, at this time her aura was circulating throughout her body, naturally not as embarrassing as Fatou.

  "The other name for refined iron core is Iron Mother, which is the essence of refined iron. Using it to forge weapons or armor not only makes them extremely hard but also as light as a feather. However, its greatest advantage lies elsewhere: warriors wearing armor made from Iron Mother or wielding weapons forged from it can increase their combat aura's power. If the armor has been further treated by an alchemist, it can also neutralize certain mid-level magical attacks."

  "This is incredible!" Li Junshan suddenly understood the value of refined iron.

  "Yes." Sally continued: "A kilogram of refined iron is worth over ten thousand gold coins, and it's extremely scarce."

  "Sally, you know a lot." Li Junshan let his own odd shape lean in and said with a calm face: "After this matter is done, go back to those armor weapons and choose whatever you want. If you're not satisfied, there's also a big pile of iron mother, take it yourself and forge it, more than enough don't return, less I'll make up for."

  Sally's face turned slightly red, but she couldn't resist Tie Mu's temptation either. She nodded and said softly, "Thank you."

  "Little mountain, me, and I." Xilu hastened to say: "I just saw a large axe earlier, which is much more beautiful than this one of mine."

  "Haha, I'll give it to you, what's the rush." Li Junshan burst out laughing, but suddenly felt something was off. He subconsciously raised his head to look and was shocked, hastily directing all the aliens to hide behind a nearby mountain boulder.

  In the southern horizon, a figure flashed over from mid-air, its speed was no slower than that of the Golden-eyed Demon Eagle earlier. A yellow aura, like a dazzling sun, drew a faint shadow under the blue sky.

  Perhaps feeling the presence of Li Junshan and others, that person paused slightly in speed above their heads, but then accelerated instantly like rushing to catch up, flying towards the mountains.

  "War Saint." This time, no one else said it, Li Junshan involuntarily shouted out.

  "I think we'd better not go." Fatty's throat felt dry and he said in a hoarse voice, "We're definitely faster than Uncle Hack and the others. We just need to wait for them at the edge of the mountain range."

  "I agree." Sally nodded and said, "The one who passed by earlier was definitely a powerful magician, and now there's another war saint. The shockwaves from these strong fighters will severely injure us even if we're just bystanders. I think it's best if we don't mess with that black dragon."

  Li Junshan's face turned red, he didn't think Sally would see through his thoughts. He lowered his head and thought for a while, but eventually couldn't resist the temptation of the Black Dragon Egg. He raised his head and said: "Let's go take a look at the mountain range first, if it doesn't work out, you guys can stay outside and I'll bring a few summoned beasts to try. If there's danger, I'll just run back. You've also seen its speed, my summoned beasts might not lose to them even when running at full speed."

  Sally and Fate exchanged a glance, knowing they couldn't persuade Li Junshan, so they could only nod helplessly. The strange creature carried them swiftly towards the mountain range in the west.

  After more than ten minutes, Li Junshan and the others arrived at the foot of that mountain range. Li Junshan was worried that Hei Long and Hei Long Dan would be beaten to it by those two people, so he had Fate and Sally, as well as Xi Lu, wait at the mountain pass for the arrival of the Tulong Squad from Fenghuo Town, and left behind two yao creatures hiding in the vicinity to protect them.

  "Everything that happened today, including the dwarves and my summoning beast, must not be told to anyone." Li Junshan solemnly instructed Sally and Siluo.

  Sally nodded, she was intelligent and could guess Li Junshan's thoughts, saying: "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. If my dad asks, I'll say a kind-hearted magician met us on the way when we were lost, brought us here, and told us to stay here. And if someone comes, just say don't disturb his battle with the black dragon."

  "Beautiful." Li Junshan snapped his fingers and said sincerely: "Too beautiful."

  Sally's face turned red again, and she lowered her head to fiddle with the hem of her clothes.

  "Xiaoyan, don't worry, I've always listened to you." Xilu shouted: "I'll go in with you, I haven't seen a dragon yet!"

  "You can't go." Li Junshan shook his head, tiptoed and patted a force on Xilu's shoulder, saying: "You have to stay here to protect Sally and Fate, did you hear?"

  Xi Lu immediately patted his chest and said with a grin, "Xiao Shan, you can rest assured, you've said that Sally will become your wife in the future. We're brothers, I'll definitely take good care of my future sister-in-law."

  Sally's face flushed instantly from her face to her delicate neck, she raised her head and stared at Li Junshan fiercely, then turned her head to glance at a distant place, pretending that she hadn't heard anything.

  "Good brother." Li Junshan's face was thicker than the city wall, and he burst out laughing, turning around to urge the strange creature to run into the mountains.

  "Master, be careful!" Fatu shouted, stretching his neck.

  "Master?" Sally looked at Fatt suspiciously, and the latter immediately struck the pose she had just been in, pretending not to know anything.

  The mountain range in the desert was different from the Luoyue Mountains south of Fenghuo Town, mostly consisting of low-lying shrub forests, and the magical beasts inside were also mostly low-level wind or earth attributes. Li Junshan thought about the black dragon and those two powerful beings, and didn't bother to deal with these low-level magical beasts, riding his strange steed into the mountains like a gust of wind.

  As they skirted around a large mountain, they suddenly heard strange noises coming from the front. Li Junshan signaled to the alien to crouch down and quietly moved forward.

  Behind the mountain, a clearing appeared. At this time, the clearing was crowded with people. More than 100 giants, about three meters tall, stood there, holding either stone pillars or thick tree trunks in their hands. Their skin was as rough as rocks and had muscles as thick as tree roots twisted on it. However, their heads were extremely small, like a watermelon placed on top of a large barrel.

  In front of them, more than three hundred dwarves were packed tightly together, carrying iron hammers. Although the dwarves were not tall, they were all robust and had strong muscles on their limbs outside their armor.

  At this time, more than a hundred giants and three hundred dwarves were packed tightly together, all with fearful expressions, most of them not even daring to lift their heads.

  "I knew it, those dwarves only had twenty or so warriors, the rest were all old and weak women and children who couldn't fight at all. It turns out their main force is here."

  Li Junshan said in his heart, looking further away, his heart couldn't help but jump with excitement.

  At the end of the empty land, there was a huge cave. At this time, a hundred-meter-long demon beast lay in front of the cave. Its strong body was almost completely covered with black, hard and shiny scales. It had four thick and powerful legs, a pair of giant bat-like wings on its sides, a long neck, two sharp horns on its head, and huge eyes that emitted a tangible icy aura.
