Just as Daenerys was excitedly picking out the various exposed gemstones on the ground, Xiao Bellerion and the other two Dragons slowly crawled back into the cave.
There were many colorful diamonds of various sizes scattered on the ground. Daenerys first picked out the brightly colored ones, then held them in her hand to carefully feel them for a while. Only those that made her feel a magical power would she put into her personal bag.
Fortunately, Daenerys had a large whale-skin cross-body bag with her today. Inside were some seasonings Daenerys had recently carefully prepared, which she intended to try out when roasting lamb today.
She didn't expect them to be put to an even greater use.
After the three Dragons entered, sensing Daenerys's interest in these colorful stones, they went together to the edge of the cave and began to spray Dragonflame onto the nearby rocks.
The actions of the three Dragons naturally attracted Daenerys's attention. She immediately stopped what she was doing and looked in the direction of the three Dragons.
Under the scorching Dragonflame, the unremarkable brown-black rock wall slowly began to melt, and the color of the magma also changed significantly.
And under the illumination of the Dragonflame, Daenerys found that many parts of the entire cave began to reflect a soft glow, and the various exposed diamonds on the ground emitted a dazzling light.
As the Dragonflame of the three Dragons dissipated, Daenerys was surprised to find that crystal-clear colorful diamonds began to slowly emerge from the melted rock.
Under the scorching heat of the Dragonflame, those originally dull-colored diamond ores immediately became crystal clear.
The surrounding dirt and impurities of the diamonds turned into dull-colored magma and slowly flowed down.
This colorful magma cooled very quickly, solidifying into coarse, granular colorful soil in less than a quarter of an hour, rather than forming solid blocks.
What Daenerys found even more unexpected was that the three Dragons and Miraxis joyfully began to devour the colorful soil.
Daenerys had indeed seen records of Dragons consuming minerals in the ancient texts of the Targaryen Family. Some Dragons often have a particular fondness for certain minerals.
These minerals can help Dragons grow faster, make their scales more durable, and increase the temperature and power of their Dragonflame.
Considering that since Daenerys contracted Dreamfire, her appearance and the color of her Dragonflame have undergone significant changes, it might be related to her also having consumed a large amount of minerals.
"It seems that Dreamfire's changes aren't solely due to my dragon dream!"
Since Daenerys transmigrated, many things have indeed changed. She couldn't help but mutter to herself,
"Perhaps the true golden finger of my transmigration is this additional volcanic island in front of me!"
However, she immediately scoffed at herself,
"And here I was foolishly developing agriculture and handicrafts on Dragonstone New Island! Such a large gem mountain, and I didn't even think to properly explore it?!"
However, Daenerys quickly calmed down again. History proves that wealth is the most enticing, and human hearts are the most susceptible to temptation.
Before she possessed absolute strength and power, the secret of her treasure mountain absolutely could not be exposed.
But exploration still had to be done; at the very least, only by knowing the detailed situation of this mountain range could she implement targeted protective measures.
However, there's no rush. With Dreamfire and the three Dragons present, no one would dare to come here easily.
It seems I still need to guard against those relatives who can control Dragons!
Through the Dragons' behavior, it was clear that they, like Daenerys, could easily sense the uniqueness of these colorful diamonds.
Holding some colorful diamonds made Daenerys feel physically and mentally comfortable. She was certain that the magical energy contained within the diamonds was a type of magical power.
And as magical creatures, Dragons are very sensitive to magical energy.
Because they were previously covered by thick layers of earth, they might not have felt anything, but as Dreamfire and the three Dragons unearthed more and more magical gems, it was hard to guarantee that this rich magical energy wouldn't be detected by other Dragons.
Daenerys stopped searching for colorful diamonds and instead began to carefully examine the cave in front of her.
This cave was over a hundred meters high, and its ground area should be nearly one square kilometer, with a large number of diamonds scattered on the ground.
Most of them should have formed naturally when the island was uplifted by the volcanic eruption.
Deep in the cave, Daenerys found four more small caves, three large and one small. The three large ones were about the size of a room, while the small one was not much larger than a doghouse.
Borrowing the sunlight that streamed in through the cracks in the cave ceiling, Daenerys was pleasantly surprised to find that the three larger caves were covered with pure, brightly colored diamonds.
Almost every one was much larger than the one Miraxis gave Daenerys, clearly these were carefully selected by Grey Shadow and them.
And that small cave, needless to say, must have been newly dug by Miraxis in the past three days; it also had quite a few diamonds, but their quality paled in comparison to Grey Shadow's and theirs.
Just as Daenerys was about to investigate further, Grey Shadow and the others, contrary to their usual closeness with Daenerys, roared loudly, warning Daenerys not to proceed.
Daenerys quickly stopped herself.
But Miraxis, beside her, was displeased. The little pink Dragon, eager to protect her master, directly blocked the path between Daenerys and the three Dragons with her not-so-large body.
Though small in stature, her roar was high-pitched and clear, immediately suppressing the roars of Grey Shadow and the others.
Daenerys happily walked to Miraxis's side, caressingly stroking her raised neck and softly said,
"As expected, my Miraxis is the most thoughtful!"
Daenerys didn't want the diamonds in the cave to be exposed, so she poured all the previously prepared diamonds from her bag into Miraxis's small cave.
She only kept the purple diamond Miraxis had given her, and a deep pink diamond she had carefully selected.
Because when Daenerys held that deep pink diamond in her hand, she felt a warmth throughout her body.
She couldn't help but think of her cousin-in-law, Emma; perhaps this diamond would be very helpful to her, being pregnant.
Young Miraxis
When Miraxis saw Daniella put all the selected diamonds into her small cave, she immediately leaned her head affectionately against Daenerys, emitting soft whimpers.
Just like a pampered puppy!
Daenerys walked to the warm, granular colorful soil and filled her cross-body bag with it.
"Let's go! I'll use this colorful soil to make roasted lamb seasoning for you; it'll be much more delicious than just eating dirt here."
So Daenerys took Miraxis and climbed out of the volcanic fissure.
And Dreamfire, who was waiting outside, fixed her eyes on Daenerys's whale-skin bag as soon as Daenerys emerged.
"It seems my guess was correct; Dragons have an extremely strong perception of these magical items."
Seeing Dreamfire's actions, Daenerys knew what was going on.
