Chapter 125: Lord of Purgatory - Flame King Dragon
Ling Tian exhaled a foul breath. He didn't expect that a low-ranking horned dragon would be so difficult to deal with.
Purple blood was scattered all over the ground, mixed with some sand and dust. The body of the horned dragon was full of broken shell fragments, slightly blackened, and looked particularly embarrassed.
The Desert Tyrant can also be regarded as the lord of this area. Judging from its size, I don't know how long it has lived.
Ling Tian was not sure that he could capture such a being alive, so he directly killed it.
The divine sense probed into the body of the horned dragon. The materials on its body would be refined into weapons, and the flesh and blood containing spiritual energy would be distributed to the tribe for consumption.
Everything Gong Ping had before was burned by the Dark Lantern Dragon, so Ling Tian got nothing that day.
To be precise, the crystal core of this horned dragon is the highest quality crystal core he has at his current position.
Ling Tian searched for a long time, but he still couldn't find the crystal core in the body of the horned dragon.
"How is it possible?" Ling Tian frowned. As long as it is a demon beast, it must have a crystal core. The first step for a beast to evolve into a demon beast is to condense a demon core.
No, Ling Tian carefully felt the huge power in the horned dragon's body and found that it was not spiritual energy at all.
Instead, it was a bit like... Qi and blood power.
Without spiritual energy, it can become so powerful?
How can it reach this level just by refining the body?
Ling Tian was puzzled. Strictly speaking, these dragons are all beasts.
He looked at Ying Huo. He was sure that Ying Huo had spiritual power in his body. Why didn't the dragon beasts in this world have spiritual power?
Ling Tian thought about it. Ying Huo could spit out purple flames continuously. He hadn't thought about it before, but in fact, the fire dragon couldn't release fireballs so frequently.
This is not something released by spiritual power, but by the secretion of the body.
If these dragon beasts rely on the flesh, how did they become so strong?
You know, Ling Tian's body refining is only within the half-step spiritual realm, and this horned dragon has already reached the half-step Xuan level.
Ling Tian thought about it. The dragon beasts in Monster Hunter are divided into lower, upper and master levels. Those master-level dragon beasts can even be compared to natural disasters.
Why are there such big differences between dragon beasts of the same race?
Could it be that... those dragon beasts are the ones who have truly come into contact with spiritual energy?
In this way, the dragon beasts here are really terrifying.
Ling Tian took the body of the horned dragon back to the beast control space. The absence of spiritual energy means that the meat of this horned dragon is better and contains more powerful energy.
Seeing that the crisis was resolved, Ling Ning began to heal Ying Huo on the side. Ling Tian praised: "Well done, even without me, you two can kill this horned dragon."
He walked up and touched Ling Ning and Ying Huo's heads, and smiled: "Take a break, we will go back after harvesting some resources."
——————
This world is rich in minerals. Ling Tian collected a lot of strange minerals and caught a lot of herbivorous dragons.
Ling Tian buried a beast trap on the ground. This thing has an inexplicable fragrance. In order to prevent Ying Huo from eating it, Ling Tian also put Ying Huo into the beast control space.
This thing is a disposable tool. Once used, it cannot be recycled.
Next, Ling Tian took Ling Ning and captured two young earth sand dragons and several pterosaurs.
Seeing that most of the creatures were caught, Ling Tian took Ling Ning back and prepared to die and return to the city.
This time he didn't come at night. The sun was scorching in the sky. If Ling Tian hadn't become a cultivator, he would probably die of heat here.
The sand perfectly absorbed the temperature of the sun and became hot. Ling Tian scooped up a handful of water to wash his face, but found that the water had become warm.
The temperature in the air was getting higher and higher, causing Ling Tian to sweat a lot. Ling Tian was very puzzled because it wasn't so hot just now.
He looked up at the sky and found that there was a second sun in the sky.
"What's going on?" Ling Tian was a little surprised. In his memory, there were no two suns in the Great Ant Mound Wasteland.
The sun was getting bigger and bigger. Ling Tian could even see that the blazing flames were rising in an interlaced manner, like magic, gorgeous and hot.
"Is the sun... expanding?"
"No, that's not right. It's getting closer and closer to me!"
Suddenly, a violent hurricane blew up, blowing the flames with a rustling sound. Ling Tian squinted and saw that there was a terrifying beast like a lion in the flames.
The terrifying beast was covered with red scales and had horns like argali. Its sharp canine teeth were exposed, and the thick red mane on its neck made it look like an emperor walking out of purgatory.
Ling Tian was completely stunned. Isn't this the Flame King Dragon? How could it run to this place?
Looking at the animal trap on the side, Ling Tian instantly understood.
There was no way to hide, and waiting to die was too spineless. Ling Tian began to rack his brains to think.
Identify this guy first.
[Name]: Flame King Dragon
[Quality]: ? ? ?
[Level]: ? ? ?
[Evolution Direction]: ? ? ?
[Evaluation]: A medium-sized ancient dragon with a solitary personality. It is a deadly hunter. Its powerful explosive power and skilled flame attack make it the top of the food chain. It is called the "Flame King" and the "Lord of Purgatory".
Good guy, it really can't be identified.
Ling Tian was completely numb. Isn't this guy a high-level dragon beast? Why would he come to such a place to join in the fun?
I was thinking, what if it was injured or a cub... Well, it's unlikely to be so with this size.
Anyway, we have to die and return to the city, so we might as well fight this guy.
At this time, Ling Tian thought of his enhanced version of Hehuan Powder.
After the estrus, the Flame King Dragon should lose its mind, and then we can try to defeat this guy.
At worst, we can use our own agility to kite it.
Ling Tian took out Hehuan Powder, put it on the lure, and turned and ran.
The Flame King Dragon was burning with flames. The emperor of fire flared his nose slightly and looked in the direction of the lure.
In the distance, Ling Tian hid at a cave entrance and secretly watched the Flame King Dragon. This guy was indeed attracted by the lure.
At this time, Ling Tian found that this guy actually had three pairs of legs.
It really tasted like a divine beast.
The Flame King Dragon bit the lure and swallowed the Hehuan Powder into his stomach.
It's done!
Suddenly, the eyes of the Flame King Dragon turned red, and it opened its mouth and roared, triggering the Fearless effect in Ling Tian's body.
A more ferocious flame burst out from its body, engulfing the area in an instant.
Looking at the flames coming towards him, Ling Tian turned around and ran. This was too damn exaggerated. He had hidden so far away!
Unfortunately, the moment he turned his head, the flames instantly engulfed him and burned him to ashes. His body, which had been forged for eighty-nine times, couldn't even last for a second.
Damn!
Ling Tian felt extremely heartbroken before his consciousness disappeared. The bottle of Hehuan Powder was strengthened, but he was killed in seconds before it could work!
