Wealth, power, respect - the ancient dragon, who is king of the highest point of the ecological pyramid in this world, once said this.

No matter what is it, as long as you can make me surrender and say this sentence I gave up, I will realize your wish.

As a result, countless brave men challenged the dragon.

Some people are for countless treasures, some are for proving their strength, and some are for the hope of becoming famous overnight...

However, whether it is the bravest with the strongest title or the wise who can argue with the good... many challengers with outstanding talents eventually fail in the field they are best at, and then disappear into the rolling dust of history.

Year after year, the dragon has not waited for the next challenger. As the years passed, people have long forgotten the oath that the dragon once said. Even if they knew it, they only regarded it as an interesting chat after dinner.

The dragon's oath finally became a legend that is unsatisfactory. Only a very small number of bards are still singing this ancient story: On the top of the world far away, towering into the clouds, living a lonely dragon. It is immortal and possesses power that ordinary people cannot imagine. Its scales are stronger than the armor cast by mitral, its teeth are sharper than the sharpest sword, it is extremely powerful, and it has countless treasures...

──────

Dorag thought he might not have woken up yet, because when he woke up from a century of sleep, he saw a humble, insignificant human being looking around in the middle of its nest.

A thief?

This is obviously unlikely. Even the greedy creatures know the dragon's stinginess. Even if they just take a gold coin from the dragon's nest, the dragon will angrily pursue your smell until it turns the blind thief into a dust in the world.

Since it shouldn't be a thief, what is this human being here for?

With a question in mind, Dorag supported his huge body, and the large piece of gold coins that were originally used as bedding slid, making a pleasant jingle sound.

Dingdang, dingdang, dingdang.

Dorag escaped from the sea of ​​gold coins, flapped two huge red wings, and stirred up a considerable wind. The intruder also slid down from the pile of gold coins, rolled twice and fell into the pile of gold coins.

Humble human, why did you break into my nest? Dorag exhaled and deliberately restrained his dragon power. How long ago did it finally see creatures other than him? Out of a certain mentality, Dorag did not kill this tiny ant as soon as possible, but joked about the invader.

The invader did not reply, but struggled hard in the pile of gold coins. The huge amount of gold coins pressed him so hard that he could not escape with his own strength. In the end, Dorag stretched out his claws and gently pushed them, and rescued the unlucky invader.

The invader was a man with red hair like flames. Even though he was trapped in a pile of gold coins, his hairstyle still stood firm after crawling out of it, and the hardness of the hair was visible.

I am Xiaozhi from Zhenxin Town, and I am here to challenge you! The man pulled out a spatula from behind and pointed it straight at Dorag's nose.

I, Dorag was stunned at first, and then burst into a wild laugh: Hahaha! I haven't heard such an interesting joke for many years. To make me happy, you should go home early to rest. Maybe when you get old, you can show off to your fellow people, saying that you once lived under the claws of a giant dragon.

The man was almost hit by the saliva sprayed by the dragon. At the critical moment, he finally avoided it and patted his chest with lingering fear. However, he did not escape as Dorag expected, but continued to pull out the spatula and shouted: I don’t have time to joke with you, I am here to challenge the dragon’s oath!

Dorag's laughter stopped abruptly, but the dragon's face showed a confused expression: the dragon's oath... Let me think about it, it seems that such a thing is really happening, but it seems that the person who made the declaration is not me.

Yes, that's why I came to you first! Xiaozhi rubbed his nose and said: Before challenging the dragon oath, he must first collect the scales of eight dragons of different races, otherwise he will not be able to enter the nest of the ancient dragon. This is what the legend says.

Dorag lay down and looked at Xiaozhi with his huge yellow eyes: Then why did you come to me?

Because you are closest to my house! Xiaozhi boasted and talked directly.

Dorag's mouth was crooked, and the man's words suddenly made it feel powerless, and even the energy to destroy the invader was gone. At the same time, an idea arose in its mind.

Then let's play the game called Dragon Oath. As long as you win, I will give you the scales. Dorag slapped the giant claw in front of Xiaozhi, stirring up a large piece of gold coins, and then walked around Xiaozhi's neck and showed his sharp teeth: But if you lose... you will die!

Xiaozhi didn't answer immediately, but reached out and tried to push Dorag's head aside: Evil, you have bad breath.

Dorag:...

The creation of tension was not very successful, but the atmosphere could not be so awkward, nor could it stretch out its claws toss the young man to death the next second after the words were spoken. Dorag suddenly felt a little annoyed about his whim.

Say it, human! What do you want to compare? Dorag raised his body, returned to his serious posture, and looked down on Xiaozhi from a condescending manner.

Cooking skills! Xiaozhi asked the spatula to rotate in his hand for a while, and then he grabbed it tightly: As long as I can make delicious food that makes you amazed and say it is so delicious, even if I win!

OK! Dorag nodded proudly and waited for Xiaozhi to move.

Time passed by minute by minute, Xiaozhi was still standing there, facing Dorag's big eyes.

Humans, are you not acting yet? After a while, Dorag couldn't help but ask.

Xiaozhi blinked innocently: I'm waiting for you to prepare the ingredients for me.

What?!Dorag was shocked.

According to Article 7, Item 13, Section 6 of the Dragon Oath, the dragon should assist humans without directly affecting the outcome of the game, and give the other party the equipment or materials required. Xiaozhi took out a book that was thick enough to kill people and threw it on the sea of ​​gold coins to show the authenticity of the words. Finally, he added: Could it be that the great dragon would breach the contract?

Breach of contract? Put away your damn words, the pride of the dragon clan cannot be as small as you insults! Dorag's giant claws slapped on the ground, triggering another collapse of gold coins, and at the same time, there was even a fire flashing in its mouth: Say! Small human, what do you need?

Oh, I need the dragon eggs of the dragon that live in the Warcraft Mountains, the rice of the sun giant planted by the scorching sun, the oil squeezed by the unicorn white whale, the flowers in the stones of the wasteland veins, and the meat of the rice dragon that lives in the drunken lying on the hills... Well, these are the ones that need your help, and I can get the rest by myself.

Dorag grinned: Human, I suggest you better not try to fool the great dragon clan. I have remembered the smell on you. I will bring you what you need, but you better not think about running away during this time, otherwise...

I know, otherwise I would chase you to the ends of the world, right? Xiaozhi waved his hand without caring: I'm waiting for you here. My space ring contains a full range of food and drinking water for ten people to live in a month. You can go early and come back early.

Roar!!! Dorag didn't say anything, but just let out a dragon roar, just not knowing that it was to boost morale before going to war or to vent the anger that had nowhere to come out of his heart.

─────────

Dorag was very fast, and in less than a week, it gathered all the ingredients needed by Ash, and when it returned to the nest, Ash also got everything ready to go.

The center of the sea of ​​gold coins was cleared out of an open area, which could not be said to be completely empty, because there was a pot that was so huge that even a giant dragon could bury its entire face into it.

You are coming back just in time, come and start working. Xiaozhi pointed to the huge pot and shouted at Dorag: Rise the fire!

What?! Dorag, who had just returned to the nest, slapped the wall of the cave with his claw, his eyes wide open. This was not because he was scared, but because he was angry with Xiaozhi.

The god-killing thing actually asked a dragon to ignite the stove?

We are competing! Xiaozhi was also angry and kicked the edge of the giant pot, but the giant pot was as motionless as a mountain.

When the competition is over, I will definitely give you the most painful way to die! Dorag roared, but after venting his anger, he still obediently became a fire-raising worker.

Boom, the dragon's hot breath spurted out, but the attack range of the flame was cleverly controlled in a certain block. Xiaozhi, who was standing in front of the pot, rolled up the sleeves of his hands, and his face was dyed red by the flames. Even if Dorag controlled the breath range and damage, it would be an unbearable environment for humans.

Xiaozhi's fists collided with each other and took a deep breath. He was a level seven warrior on the mainland. In terms of level, it was not very high, but it was enough to manipulate the fighting spirit to strengthen the body and do things that ordinary people could not do, such as lifting a wok of n times the size of his body to one hand.

The ingredients that should be used have been filled in a variety of categories before. When the temperature of the wok reached a considerable level, Xiaozhi finally took action.

Oil! Xiaozhi shouted violently, and his arms holding the shovel also moved at the same time.

The wok is n times that of an ordinary pot, so the spatula naturally has to be enlarged in proportion. What Xiaozhi is holding now is no longer the small spatula he used to challenge Dorag, but a special spatula that is several times the size of himself.

The oil of the unicorn white whale was spooned into the giant wok. As soon as it was put into the pot, a burst of white smoke rose from the giant pot and gathered in the air to form a giant whale with its head raised and turned over. Another part of the white smoke turned into a vast sea level. The giant whale jumped up and then fell straight into it.

Egg fried rice - this dish that Xiaozhi wants to make is not uncommon, or it should be said that this is even a home-cooked dish that everyone can know in a certain time and space. However, even if everyone can do it, it is delicious but not as easy as expected.

Someone once said that the best thing about fried rice is that it is clearly distinguished. At the moment when the rice is chewy, it cannot lose the hot and fragrant stir-frying flavor.

This has always been a difficult problem that tests the chef's skills. Until one day, a lazy person created a brand new way of laziness...

With two ticacca, the dragon egg of the Dinotooth Dragon was knocked out. Xiaozhi kicked the dragon egg at the bottom of the dragon egg, used the shovel technique to empty it, then ran two steps and jumped high, until it was directly above the dragon egg and then squeezed it with all its strength.

The yolk and egg white inside the dragon egg were impacted by powerful external forces, and the crack that was knocked out by Xiaozhi became its catharsis port. The transparent egg liquid was wrapped in light red egg white yolk and slid out. But what was strange was that the yolk and egg white were actually split into two in the air. The yolk was thrown into the wok, and the egg white fell into a huge bowl containing the scorching sun rice.

In the classics, Zeng Jixiu said that the Scarlet Sun Giant is a race that emits high temperatures all the time, and even the rice they grow is the same. What is surprising is that the rice they grow does not need to be cooked and can be eaten directly after being picked. However, because of the Scarlet Sun Giant's physique, the Scarlet Sun Giant almost contains the moisture that rice should have, and is shockingly dry, so it is regarded as the most suitable rice for fried rice.

Of course, Xiaozhi's movements did not end here. After the eggs were beaten, it was undoubtedly stirred. The egg yolks and scorching rice were quickly integrated with the stirring of a giant spatula.

Youdao is a slight effort to make a fortune, which is another science in controlling strength. This series of actions is done in one go, but it cannot be stirred too hard in the middle to cause the rice grains to be crushed until each grain of rice is wrapped in egg liquid, Xiaozhi stopped.

At this moment, the egg whites that fell into the wok had already shown signs of solidification. Xiaozhi took a breath, stepped onto the ground with his feet, rushed out by the force of trampling, grabbed a handful of flowers in the stone, and returned to the wok.

Flowers in stone are only salty when they grow in extremely remote places. The flowers are very salty when tasted. The rhizomes flowing all over the roots and stems. Drinking them alone will only kill people. However, if used as salt in seasonings, they can bring a bit of sweetness to the salty taste of the dishes, and the fragrance lingers around the mouth.

Xiaozhi rubbed his palms, and the flowers in the stone inside were immediately killed. The whole flower, along with its roots and stems, turned into green onions and sprinkled into the wok.

Put on the giant spatula again, mix the broken petals of the flower in the stone and stir-fry until together. The egg white has solidified in just now, and even if the spatula is activated, it will not break it too much. Only in this way can you still eat large pieces of egg ingredients in it after the fried rice is cooked.

The characteristics of flowers in stone have been fully utilized, and a fragrance arose with the white smoke. It is obvious that there is only protein in the pot, but it is enough to make people's index fingers move.

Dorag's spitting stopped for a moment, in order to swallow the saliva secreted from his mouth, his huge nostrils twitched, and with a forceful sucking almost all the white smoke.

Who told you to stop and continue to spit out the fire! Don't have that much firepower this time, do you understand the fire control? Idiot! Xiaozhi didn't even look at Doragg, but just jumped hard.

Dorag knew that he was in the wrong, so he didn't say much, so he continued to do the errands of fireworks, the difference was that he had expectations for the unfinished fried rice.

Milong’s meat is placed in the pot after the flower in the stone. As a meat dish, Milong’s meat is ranked behind as seasoning and vegetables. The reason is that Milong’s meat is not just pure meat.

Zui Wogang is said to have a mellow aroma of wine in the air there, and even if you just breathe, you will get drunk. The flesh of the living creatures will have is self-evident. However, while being called the holy land in the minds of alcoholics, Zui Wogang is one of the top forbidden areas in the entire continent. Not to mention the creatures living there are extremely aggressive and combat power, just wanting to enter it without getting drunk is a huge problem. Only people with sea-like alcoholism and strong strength can go deep into it to hunt, and Mi Long is the top ecosystem in Zui Wogang.

There is a word rice in the name. Milong's blood is the most advanced rice wine on the mainland as long as it is refined. Its meat fat also has the same effect. Milong meat is both meat and rice wine.

The dishes, meat, salt and egg whites were prepared in a complete manner. The golden sun-colored rice was used as the finale. A whole bowl was poured into the wok.

The fried rice has finally reached the final stage of completion, but even so, it is still careless. The scorching rice wrapped in raw egg yolks needs careful stir-frying so that its flavor can be purified again before it can be put into the pot.

After stir-frying several times, the fried rice flew into the air without the constraints of gravity, and then returned to the arms of the wok. The previous stealing steps were not the most orthodox method after all, and they must be improved in the final stage, and it is also to make the ingredients in the wok and the rice thoroughly mixed.

Until this time, the whole pot of fried rice was calculated.

Come on, please enjoy!

A huge bowl full of fried rice fell down and hit the ground hard. The rice on it seemed to be really coated with a layer of gold, shining under the sunlight. The hot smoke from the rice spread out straight into the sky, and the one-horned white whale spread its fins, as if it was about to fly into the sky.

Dorag had been patient for a long time and had his claws digging the ground. As soon as Xiaozhi's words fell, the huge dragon head was buried directly in the huge bowl and chewed it in big mouthfuls.

Well...well...it's very ordinary...no, this is...?!

A piece of darkness spread out in front of Dorag. Dorag felt that he was suddenly confined to a small space, and his limbs and wings could not be stretched out. His former pride power seemed to disappear out of thin air. Dorag never felt that he would be so powerless.

Could this be the conspiracy made by the red-haired ghost?

Anger filled his heart, Dorag wanted to howl at the sky. Now it was all about breaking away from this inexplicable dark space and then turning the human who dared to plot against the great dragon clan into ashes.

A crack sound came, Dorag's efforts were not in vain. Under its struggle, the dark space finally broke a small corner by it, and a ray of light shone in from outside. Then the cracks in the space gradually expanded. Dorag finally broke free from the shackles of the dark space and escaped.
To be continued...
