Chapter 45 – Earth Dragon’s Lair, Fire Spirit Core Found?

“What’s that up ahead?!”

Xu Jingnian instantly perked up.

“A!”

Genpou noticed it too, his head tilting forward slightly to get a closer look, but he still couldn’t quite make it out.

Just a flash of red.

But this discovery, appearing in a darkened crypt, would have to be explored.

Xu Jingnian suddenly had some vestigial feelings.

He guessed a lot, like fluorescent red crystals, or weird red fungus plants ……

But the most similar, he thought, was the fiery red color of the lava, which shone on the rock walls and seemed to make a gurgling, bubbling sound audible.

“Go, Genpou.”

Xu Jingnian exhorted, “Be careful, sneak over there, and run as soon as something goes wrong!”

Learn from your mistakes.

It can’t be like the last time, when he mistakenly entered the Shellfish Ball and was half a beat slow to escape, and was swarmed at once.

If not hard enough.

Yuanbao is about to flip ……

But an opponent’s combat strength is something that can’t be guaranteed; it can’t just happen to be weaker than it is every time there’s an accident.

So avoid accidents.

“A …..”

Genpou nodded slightly.

This kind of thing, there is no need for Xu Jingnian to urge, because this is its nature …… so it will never act recklessly.

It can sneak, it will never be exposed;

It will never hold back when it can kill with one blow;

When it can mend, it will surely thwart its opponents!

“It’s fine, if the little one grows up in the future, I definitely don’t have to worry about it.”

Xu Jingnian was satisfied.

There are advantages to being afraid of death.

Precisely because Yuanbao is afraid of death ….. That’s why it was cautious, more cautious than Xu Jingnian, its master.

Only to see Yuan Bao sticking to the rock wall, sneaking around, his little paws stepping on the rocks silently, he soon approached the place of red light.

Guru Guru Guru ……

The sound of bubbles popping came from over there, loud and clear, and by the looks of it, it seemed to be really hot lava.

Come around the corner.

Genpou snuck up against the rock wall, but accidentally knocked the backpack behind his scaled armor, and the shattered bones it contained shifted and made a noise.

!

Yuan Bao was scared half to death.

“It’s fine, the sound is actually very small and covered by a grunt.”

Xu Jingnian comforted.

Genpou nodded and perked up its ears to listen carefully, and it eased its breath when nothing else moved but grunts.

Calmed down a bit.

Just poking out a little head to go, little eyes squinting slightly, furtively looking in the direction of the red light.

Sure enough, it’s lava.

Beyond the corner of the tunnel is a pitted lava field.

Several small pools of magma, like hot springs, glowed with crimson fire and blazing temperatures, bubbling hot.

Genpou has never seen lava.

I don’t know if it’s dangerous or not.

Just waiting for the knowledgeable Xu Jingnian to react, however, he was immediately shouting in Yuan Bao’s mind:

“What the hell was that!”

At those words, Yuan Bao’s expression was horrified, and without even looking, he immediately shrunk his head back.

Without asking Xu Jingnian why he exclaimed in alarm, he directly turned his head and ran, even at an unruffled pace, remaining quiet and not making a single sound.

“Wait!”

Xu Jingnian, however, added, “I didn t let you run, I was just surprised …… that there was a dragon soaking in that lava pool!”

Dragon?

Genpou stopped dead in his tracks, a little confused, and inquired what the dragon was.

“I’m not sure, it looks like a western dragon, sneak back in and check again, it should be sleeping.”

“A?”

Genpou returned and came around the corner of the rock wall again, this time taking special care not to let the packs collide.

Poke a little head and peek.

Only to see that in the magma land across the street, in the biggest spread of the magma pool, there was a creature that looked like a super huge lizard, leaning and sitting and soaking in the magma.

His paws, somewhat plump, rested on the rock, and his eyelids were closed in a peaceful manner; he was indeed sleeping.

The main reason why it made Xu Jingnian think it was a dragon was because, well, its skin was green.

The whole appearance is somewhat like …… the Holy Lord!

But shorter and a little fatter.

“Holy shit, this is definitely a dragon, right? How can we still encounter such a creature underground!”

Think about it.

Xu Jingnian was struck by an idea and opened his eyes, the Ten Thousand Beasts Illustrated Guide was at one side, he picked it up and flipped it open.

Sure enough, there was another page.

Turn to page six!

[Lava Dinosaur]

[Racial Limit: Lords]

[Information: Wingless dragons that can only burrow underground; the dragon’s blood of the Earth Dragon is already extremely faint and will be completely reduced to a ground-hole lizard as the years go by.]

[Characteristics: Thick skin and flesh, adapted to high temperatures and harsh environments, able to move freely in lava.]

[Racial Skill: Dragon Roar]

[Domain: Molten Plasma Burning Ground (A home skill that can only be used at the Lord level.)]]

[Evolutionary Path: Unknown (For every ten Spirit Beasts recorded for the iconography, the door to the path will be opened once.)]

“No way, it’s really an Earth Dragon, the highest Lord level? This is too terrifying!”

Xu Jingnian was completely shocked.

From the iconography.

This Earth Dragon’s bit seems to be quite low, with only a faint hint of dragon blood left.

But that’s not something Genpou can mess with!

Earth dragons are dragons at least.

Whereas a pangolin can only be a pangolin without a powerful ancestor ……

This Earth Dragon, even helped him develop a new knowledge, that is, the Domain Skill, there was actually such a skill!

Home skills?

It’s as strong as it sounds.

Well, it can only be used by the Lord level, so is this Earth Dragon a Lord or not?

“Yuan Bao, if I had known, I would have let you bring the Transcendental Binoculars with you, it’s not like there’s any mists underground, so you can just look around.”

Xu Jingnian was a little sad.

Then, he continued to check out the environment in the lava floor cave, surrounded by large and small lava pools.

There is only one living creature, the Earth Dragon, and this is its lair, but there is no treasure.

It seems that Earth Dragon is not in the habit of collecting gold and silver treasures ……

However, Xu Jingnian suddenly realized that behind this earth dragon, there was a stone pillar hanging down from the top of the rock.

And the surface of Stonehenge ……

There was actually a crimson colored pearl set in it, on which a flame was burning out of thin air, which never seemed to go out.

“Fire Spirit Core?!”

Xu Jingnian exclaimed at once.

For some reason, he felt that this crimson treasure bead was very much like that transcendent material needed for the Bonfire Furnace.

All aspects fit.

The odds are that’s it ……

He was a bit intent.

However, this Earth Dragon, one definitely couldn’t afford to mess with it, mainly because its rank wasn’t known right now.

It would be nice to take a look at it with a transcendental telescope and measure its energy levels before we can think long and hard about it.

“Hoo-!”

At this time, the Earth Dragon suddenly moved, and it twisted its neck, its dark green neck skin ripping out many lines.

Its nostrils spewed hot air.

Next moment.

The Earth Dragon opened his eyes.

However, Yuan Bao was extremely alert and retracted its head at the first moment it made a move.

And under the command of Xu Jingnian.

Rapid evacuation.

“Run, run!”

Xu Jingnian looked around carefully, that earth dragon woke up and didn’t come out, thankfully ……

As for the crimson pearl.

Whether or not it was the Fire Spirit Core, Xu Jingnian would have to look at it before determining, and he definitely wanted to take it anyway!

He thought about it, that stone pillar is quite thick, wait and use the transcendental telescope later, to see the energy tier of this geoduck.

As long as it’s not a lord.

Maybe it’s possible to get the meta to dig into Stonehenge from below, or above, silently.

Breaking through from the inside, covered by rocks, taking the pearl is like picking up a bag ……

However, to be on the safe side, you’ll have to wait until Genpou crosses the Gate of Pathways and finds a way to advance to Excellence.

And then think long term ……
