Chapter 325
The black sword rain covered the entire surface of the lake as streaks of its black glow penetrated into the red lava in every ten meters . The impact of each sword was limited to an attack that covered such a huge area . However, it was just a plan to Luo Li to lure the Molten Dragon out of the lake rather than to kill it . The gigantic black dragon was laying down at the bottom of the lake, not sleeping but absorbing the energy from the molten crystal . Lying down was the most comfortable pose for it .
Suddenly, the black dragon felt an intense pain on its tail as the sound of torrential whistling was heard . It turned around and saw half a black sword sticking out of its tail . Another whistle came and another sword pierced less than a meter from the black dragon’s left eye, almost blinding it instantly .
Roar!
The black dragon was furious as it was attacked twice . As one of the Three Overlords of this world, it had been a long time since someone had challenged it . Hearing the roar echoing from the bottom of the lake, Luo Yu smirked .
"It worked . "
Soon, huge waves undulated on the surface of the lava lake . A humongous monster appeared from the lake . Luo Li checked out the black giant creature with her head slightly tilted to the side . The Molten Dragon looked like a mammoth alligator with wings . Its abdomen was short compared to the ratio of the rest of its body and it had a heavy bottom . On its back were not dense like the scales of dragon blood monsters but like the thick skin on the back of an alligator . They were bumpy like hard tumors .
"It’s really ugly…" Luo Li commented after checking out the Molten Dragon for a while . Soon, she recalled something and licked her lips mockingly .
"But I heard from a Food Hunter that the uglier something is, the tastier it is . "
As Luo Li was checking out the Molten Dragon, it was studying her too . The size of her body confused it . It had never seen a human of such small stature . However, the intensity of her attack shocked it a little as the two swords had managed to break through its defense easily .
Perhaps, the smaller a human was, the more powerful they were . Just when the Molten Dragon pondered upon that thought, it heard Luo Li mocking it . It was furious again .
"Human kid, are you messing with me?" It was its first time hearing somebody calling it ugly and it could not take it anymore .
Meanwhile, Luo Li looked serious .
"Who’re you calling a kid?" She was dismal to hear what the black dragon called her .
Sensing Luo Li’s odd reaction, the Molten Dragon decided to attack first . As its muzzle opened, flames came out of it and engulfed Luo Li instantly . Because the Molten Dragon was not a dragon blood monster, the flames it emitted were not dragon flames but molten core instead . It was tens of thousands degree Celsius like the core of a planet . The molten core came out like a waterfall, consuming the entire space that Luo Li was standing in . The black dragon was sure that Luo Li would definitely not be able to avoid its attack . Even if she did not die, she would definitely be severely injured from the high-temperature flames .
"So, this is the standard of a sky dragon . Huh, you can never compare to a real dragonkin . " A silhouette walked out of the flames . Not only was Luo Li not hurt, the flames had done nothing to her clothes . She smirked as she looked disdainfully at the shocked Molten Dragon .
"I’m sorry that I forgot to tell you that the Life Fire monster that I killed to get to holy fire-level was a dragonkin . Although it was just a basic one, it was so much more powerful than you are . At your level, you’d be killed in less than ten seconds by that fella . I’m even more powerful than the monster . I just need one thing to kill you . " Luo Li pointed a finger as she spoke .
The Molten Dragon sensed immense danger looming . Its instinct had helped it escape death many times, so it chose to trust it . It flapped its wings and backed away from Luo Li . When it was a distance away, it started to dive into the lava lake .
"It’s too late to run now!" Luo Li pointed in the direction where the black dragon dove in .
A black glow that was as thick as her thumb shot out of her fingertip and appeared next to the black dragon’s head . It pierced straight through its head and came out on the other side . The body of the black dragon was like a meteorite as it flopped into the lake, creating waves hundreds of meter high .
The black dragon’s carcass floated on the surface of the lake . Just when Luo Li went down to pick up the carcass, she noticed that its tail was broken .
"Did it run away?!" Luo Li squinted .
After storing the carcass, Luo Li went to the Blazing Alligator that was at the side of the lake again . It was shaking in fear . Although it did not see her killing the black dragon, its senses allowed it to feel what exactly happened . It did not attempt to struggle after knowing that she had managed to kill the Molten Dragon in one go .
"What else is there at the bottom of the lava besides the molten crystal?" Luo Li asked the Blazing Alligator .
"There’s a natural tunnel that connects to a huge lava river," the Blazing Alligator said immediately . Although it had no idea why Luo Li asked such a question, it answered honestly anyway .
"No wonder…" Luo Li finally understood why the Molten Dragon could escape from this lava lake that did not seem to have any other exit routes .
"Bring me to the molten crystal and don’t try to fool around!" Luo Li snapped her finger . The black sword that pinned the Blazing Alligator’s tail down faded away and transformed into a black mist that entered its wound .
The Blazing Alligator was hesitant as it pondered if it should attempt to escape . After some thought, it decided to give up on any hope of doing so and just bring her to the molten crystal as the human was simply too terrifying . As Luo Li trailed behind the Blazing Alligator into the lava lake, her body was covered by an invisible energy layer that isolated her from the lava . The spiritual lava would usually infiltrate one’s Life Power but it did not seem to affect Luo Li at all .
Within a couple of minutes, they arrived at the bottom of the lake . Luo Li’s eyes lit up when she saw the giant golden crystal that measured two meters wide . However, she figured that she would not be able to bring it along with her . Although the molten crystal was a relic, it was not something that was meant to be taken away . Once it was moved, there would be an explosion with a massive energy loss . Half of the molten crystal was buried in the ground, hence the Molten Dragon had to train at the bottom of the lake .
"This little black dragon is stupid . Why didn’t it think of digging the soil around it?" Luo Li was speechless .
"Help me dig the soil around it away . I’ll set you free as soon as I get this molten crystal," Luo Li said to the Blazing Alligator .
"We’ve no idea what’s the ground made of . It’s very tough and can’t be dug . If we could, the black dragon would’ve taken it away from the beginning . " The Blazing Alligator shook its head .
Luo Li did not believe it, so she went to the crystal and knocked the ground . She then made a black blade from her finger and attempted to pierce it into the ground . However, it could not penetrate the earth at all .
"Eh… That’s strange!" Luo Li went further away from the crystal and observed it carefully . She noticed that the soil ten kilometers surrounding the crystal had been dug out by the black dragon . It was left with a flat, black soil .
"Did you guys do this digging?"
"Yes, the Boss got us to dig it . However, because the area of the black soil is too big, he gave up . "
"Alright then . Since I can’t take it away, I’ll leave it here then . " Luo Li decided to empty the lake after the assessment ended to try if she could dig it out .
"I shall set you free now . " Luo Li waved her hand and the black energy came out of the Blazing Alligator’s wound, then disappeared into the spiritual lava . She rocketed upwards of the lake and disappeared from the Blazing Alligator’s field of vision…
