As they descended from the sky, the smoke and ash spewed out from the lava and covered the ground like a snowstorm.
The environment of this area had a hint of snow-like beauty.
The lava, on the other hand, was like meteorites, dotting the place like stars.
Xiao Jiu and the white python shrunk one after another, riding on Wang Ye’s shoulders.
Following the path at the entrance of the cave, Wang Ye advanced calmly.
There weren’t many fierce beasts nearby.
Judging from the footprints on the ground, he wasn’t the first beastmaster to arrive.
The densely packed footprints indicated that at least a few beastmasters were here.
“This place is the border between the outer and core regions. It’s also a relatively large underground cave. There aren’t any fierce beasts nearby. Looks like this area should be the territory of that rock dragon emperor.”
Not long after, Wang Ye saw the cave entrance.
Waves of scorching and thick aura emanated from the cave entrance.
The cave entrance extended downwards. It was huge. Even Xiao Jiu would be able to enter it after it used Free-size to enlarge itself.
Standing at the edge of the cave and looking down, one could only see a spiral ramp. The surroundings were filled with jagged rocks. It was like a spiral corridor that led to another world. At the bottom, one could see red lava flowing.
Wang Ye followed the ramp down, but the temperature was gradually rising.
Until he reached a certain place where his line of sight gradually widened.
At this time, he looked up again and found that the cave entrance had become an extremely small bottle mouth.
Not long after, Wang Ye finally saw the rock dragon emperor.
In the center of the rolling lava ahead, there was a huge piece of land that looked like an island in a lake. The rock dragon emperor was currently resting on top of it.
Its body was like a brown rhinoceros. Both sides of its waist were covered with scales, and armor-like scales were protruding from its waist like mountains. The head of the dragon was more like that of a western dragon. There was a crown on its head like a densely protruding horny mass. It looked very scary.
There were also sharp claws growing between the gaps of its palms. Even if it was resting on the ground, it still emitted a sharp cold light.
Its tail was long and covered with rocks.
Looking at it as a whole, it was at least twenty meters long and four to five meters tall.
“I’m afraid this beast isn’t just level 3…” Wang Ye’s heart trembled.
The rock dragon emperor was an Emperor-class pet, to begin with. After being infected by the power of strangeness, the strength of all its attributes would increase.
The stronger the pet, the more terrifying it would be after it became a fierce beast.
Just by looking at it, the rock dragon emperor gave Wang Ye a sense of oppression. It was like a barrier built on the ground, hard to even shake.
What interested Wang Ye the most was naturally the lotus flower that was growing in the lava behind the rock dragon emperor, flickering with rainbow light.
There were seven petals in total, and each petal was emitting a different luster.
Through his Dynamic Vision, Wang Ye found that the red petal was the most dazzling.
“What treasure is this?” He didn’t recognize it immediately, “A rainbow-colored lotus… Hmm, will it give birth to the seven Calabash Brothers? No, this is a lotus, so lotus babies?”
“Based on my intuition, this should be a resource that surpasses the emperor-grade or above,” Wang Ye was a little hesitant.
Was such a resource something that he could obtain now?
There was also the rock dragon emperor.
The terrain of this place was very complicated. It was the opponent’s home ground.
If the rock dragon emperor was no match, it could just seal the entrance of the cave and bury everyone inside.
“This place is filled with many types of attributed energy. If I ask the white python to forcefully use Spatial Flash to teleport behind the rock dragon emperor, I might be able to pluck the rainbow lotus before it has time to react?” Wang Ye squatted behind a huge rock beside the lava and began to ponder.
With the white python’s great success realm Spatial Flash, it was not difficult to execute the series of actions.
However, after using Spatial Flash, the rock dragon emperor would definitely wake up immediately.
Moreover, Wang Ye was not very sure that the rainbow lotus could be picked by the white python so easily.
This was a one-time opportunity.
Once he missed it, it would definitely be very difficult later on.
“For a material that exceeds the emperor-grade, I’m afraid my Natural Divine Power characteristic might not be of much use. The other way is to fight head-on. Kill the rock dragon emperor, then think of a way to obtain the rainbow lotus.”
This was not difficult.
It was just that the spiritual energy consumption was relatively large.
He still had to rely on Xiao Jiu for the core region and the hard battle in the Land of Hidden Mysterious later.
Wang Ye had previously used the combination skill of Xiao Jiu’s Skyful of Feather and the white python’s Shadowless Line. Although there was an element of pretentiousness, in essence, it was still to save spiritual energy.
This was because the Skyful of Feather was the least costly of Xiao Jiu’s attacks.
As for the rest, like Feather Cut and Wind, these peak mastery realm skills consumed a lot of spiritual energy. Divine Light Flame Strike was also in the great success realm and was an advanced attributed skill, so it consumed even more spiritual energy.
Skyful of Feathers consumed less energy. On top of that, when it formed the Shadowless Sword with the Shadowless Lines, he could use it continuously. Not only would he be able to beat noobs, but he could also save spiritual energy while pretending to be great.
Wang Ye did not plan to waste too much spiritual energy in the outer region.
He was still thinking when suddenly, a low voice sounded.
“Roar!”
The rock dragon emperor seemed to have woken up, and along with its awakening was a strong wave of spiritual energy!
Wang Ye immediately fixed his eyes on it.
“Who the hell has no marital virtues and attacked directly?” He narrowed his eyes and immediately looked to the other side.
Behind a huge rock, a somewhat familiar figure suddenly attacked.
“Zhao Ping? Isn’t he Ji Wuming’s disciple?”
Wang Ye could see him clearly.
As expected, someone else had come before him. The other party probably couldn’t hold himself back anymore after waiting for a while.
Everyone knew that the rainbow lotus was not simple, and they all wanted to pick it.
Wang Ye’s heart stirred. He held his breath and concentrated. He told Xiao Jiu and the white python not to make a sound and to quietly watch.
