Chapter 209: Beating Up A Dragon, Mysterious Crystal

In the boiling lava sea, a 50-meter-long dinosaur-like monster with bat wings loomed about in the magma sea.

The creature leapt out of the lava and then back into it like a dolphin. The scorching magma was like sea water to the creature—not only the lava did not harm it, but it also made it very happy.

“That’s a lifeform?”

Ling Jiu and the other three stared at the figure as they gasped with aghast. With their current strength, they could completely defend against magma attacks.

But that did not mean that they could swim and bath inside magma.

To defend or ignore, these were two completely different concepts!

It was no exaggeration to say that aside from Ling Jiu, if Niu Ben and the others were to enter the magma, they could probably withstand it for a moment, but once time passes, they would definitely be reduced to ashes.

This was the same when they were unable to withstand the terrifying heat in Venus for a long period of time.

“For it to swim inside magma, this lifeform must be very powerful right?”

Niu Ben’s voice trembled a little. “Also, this extremely harsh environment could actually breed life? Unbelievable!”

“Life is like that!”

Ling Jiu smiled and said. “You guys wait here, I will go and have a look at that monster!”

“Don’t go!”

Bai Ya grabbed Ling Jiu with a worried look in her beautiful eyes. “We know nothing about that monster, in the event if it is very powerful...”

“Don’t worry, with my Dimension Arcana, I’ll be fine!”

Ling Jiu smiled and comforted her as he darted out of the Dimension Sea and charged at the dragon-like monster that loomed in the distance.

“Be careful, my dear!”

Bai Ya stared at Ling Jiu’s back, clenching her fists tightly.

“Bai Ya, don’t you worry.”

Niu Ben smiled and comforted her. “Brother Ling has Dimension Arcana and is invincible by nature. Hurting him is... very difficult.”

“Yeah.”

Ling Jiu’s speed was fast and after a few Blinks he appeared before the dragon monster and intercepted it.

Looking closely, this monster looked a lot like a giant dragon in Western mythology.

It had two bat-like wings on its back with dense red scales on its body. It looked like a dinosaur, but it had four powerful legs under its abdomen and sharp claws at the front end of the limbs.

In addition, there were two spiral horns on top of its head that pointed at the sky.

“What a majestic monster!”

Ling Jiu was amazed.

BAM!

Ling Jiu measured the monster while it also measured Ling Jiu in return. Its pair of round eyes stared at him, with curiosity gleaming in its eyes.

The eyes were the window of the soul, and with only a look, Ling Jiu could tell that this monster is very intelligent, probably no inferior to humans.

Of course, intelligence was not the point, Ling Jiu’s purpose was to get a feel of the monster’s fighting power, so he approached it step by step.

The monster showed no look of fear or terror but instead showed an even more curious look as it looked on with interest at the tiny Ling Jiu. And that lasted until Ling Jiu approached it and smashed it at the back of its head...

BAM!

The dragon monster was sent reeling a few steps back by the smash, and that was it.

It shook its head and glared at Ling Jiu. The curiosity in its eyes had disappeared and in its place was anger.

Clearly, it was angry.

BAAAMMM!!

The giant dragon monster flapped its wings as it suddenly rose into the air and then appeared before Ling Jiu like a thunderbolt as its right claw came slamming down like lightning.

BAAAMMM!!

Its speed was so fast that Ling Jiu did not had time to dodge and was slapped straight into the magma lake before disappeared altogether.

“Ling Jiu!”

Bai Yu was shocked as she tried to rush out, but he was trapped inside the Dimension Sea and could only watch everything happening outside and could simply not go out.

“Bai Ya, don’t worry, Brother Ling will be fine!”

Niu Ben hurriedly advised her. Although he may be saying that he was not confident at all as that was magma several thousand degrees Celsius hot, who could survive it?

Just as the three were worried, a vortex suddenly appeared inside the scalding magma lake as it expanded rapidly as it appeared. In a blink of an eye, it was several hundred meters wide.

For a moment, the surrounding magma were all drawn in by the vortex towards the bottom of it.

“What’s going on?”

The three were stunned.

Even the dragon monster was equally puzzled.

They did not understand why a vortex would suddenly appear.

After devouring the magma for a while, the vortex gradually calmed down as Ling Jiu with his bare upper body slowly appeared out from the boiling magma.

There was still a drop of magma hanging from the corner of his mouth as he could not help but to stick his tongue out and licked it clean before looking quietly at the dragon monster.

“Ling Jiu!!!”

“Ling Jiu’s alright!”

“That b*stard, I knew it!”

Seeing Ling Jiu reappearing, Bai Ya and the other two let out a long sigh of relief.

“It’s fast and powerful, but... not enough!”

Ling Jiu looked at the dragon monster as his body quickly swelled up, and instantly he was a 50-meter-tall giant.

At this moment, Ling Jiu’s height was no less than that of the dragon monster.

“That’s the Gigantization Arcana?”

The Niu siblings exclaimed. “Bai Ya, Brother Ling even had Gigantization replicated already?”

“I... I don’t know!”

Bai Ya shook her head repeatedly.

“Again!”

Ling Jiu let out a long howl as he shot past the dragon monster with just a step. He was so fast that when he ripped across the magma sea, he ripped out a long ripple at his wake.

In a flash, Ling Jiu appeared before the dragon monster and struck his head out.

BAAAMMM!!

A violent force erupted as the dragon monster screamed and instantly flew out, flying for several hundred feet before stopping.

The dragon monster shook its dazed head as it then flapped its wings and charged at Ling Jiu. It was only hurt by the hit, but there were no apparent wounds. Its powerful defense had Ling Jiu amazed, this b*stard sure was tough!

ROAR!!!

The dragon monster opened its mouth and spewed out a surge of boiling magma.

“Child’s play!”

Ling Jiu smirked as he Blinked away from the oncoming magma spray, and then with another Blink appeared before the dragon monster.

BAAAMMM!!

Another fist blasted out and the dragon monster flew out again.

After being sent flying a few times in a row, the dragon monster smartened up as it looked fearfully at Ling Jiu.

It was afraid.

Ling Jiu was even more surprised. He had unleashed the flurry of strikes with all of his might, and while he had sent it flying time after time, it did not seem to have suffered much injury at all.

“This guy’s muscles are incredibly compact, tough and solid. So, it’s strength is powerful, and its defense is amazing. Plus the tough scales on its body made it so powerful defensively.”

Ling Jiu muttered to himself. “As expected of a life born in this extreme environment. Amazing!”

“ROAR!!!”

The dragon monster stared at Ling Jiu for a moment before diving into the magma and disappearing. No one knew where it went to.

Ling Jiu stared at the place it had left for a while before returning to the three.

“Brother Ling, you’re awesome!”

Niu Ben immediately praised him. “That dragon monster earlier was obviously a Ninth-Order level, and is even stronger than ordinary Ninth Order Direbeasts, and you actually had it on the backfoot!”

Niu Miao also nodded as a look of shock and admiration appeared in her beautiful eyes. Although the Matriculation Camp had many elites, there were scant few that could really beat up a Ninth-Order Direbeast like that.

Only Bai Ya stared hard at Ling Jiu, seemingly blaming him for taking unnecessary risks, and making her worry.

“It’s alright.”

Ling Jiu smiled as he looked back at the hot magma sea.

“Brother Ling, what do we do next? Go back, or continue the search?”

Niu Ben also looked at the scalding magma. “The environment here is too extreme, and there’s obviously nothing good here. How about we withdraw first?”

“No, there are more good stuff here than we imagined.”

Ling Jiu shook his head as he flipped his hand over and a red crystal appeared on his palm.

It was a water drop-shaped rock, looking like a red crystal, or a bloodstone, but it was emitted an incomparably hot, scorching temperature.

“This is...”

Niu Ben and the other two stared at the red crystal.

“No idea.”

Ling Jiu shook his head. “It could be a special type of stone, but exactly what is it, I don’t know. But I have a bold prediction that the value of this thing is very high!”

“Ugh...”

The three looked at each other.

“Brother Ling, do you have basis to say that?”

Niu Ben frowned and asked.

“Of course.”

Ling Jiu nodded slightly and then said. “Brother Niu, your strength should be very strong right?”

Hearing the word strength, a confident look appeared on Niu Ben’s face. “Looking at the entire Matriculation Camp, my comprehensive combat strength may be very average, but in terms of strength, I don’t think I’ll lose to anyone, including you, Brother Ling!”

Ling Jiu did not confirm or deny, but he knew that Niu Ben was indeed really strong as one of his Arcanas was Super Strength.

And his power index was 5000 times!

What does that mean?

Niu Ben was a Level 8 Arcanist now, so he could unleash 5000 times the strength of ordinary Arcanists.

On strength alone, he was indeed freakish.

Of course, this was compared to normal folks, but when compared to Ling Jiu it was a totally different thing.

“Then can you try to crush this?”

Ling Jiu handed the red crystal over and as Niu Ben took it, he seethed at the heat, but he still gave it a strong grip as he tried to squeeze it hard.

In the end...

Even when he had put in a colossal effort, he could not crush the crystal.

“What thing is this? So hard!” Niu Ben could not help but gasp.

With his current strength, even the toughest Zanderman Alloy was like playdough to him, and he actually could not crush this thing.

“It’s not just you, even I could not crush it! Even...”

Ling Jiu shook his head as the took out a blob of flame. It was the Seven-colored Rainbow Flame the Matriculation Camp had awarded him, and he placed the flame on top of the crystal to burn it.

And after burning for a good while, it could still not melt the red crystal.

“See? Even a 100 thousand degrees Celsius Seven-coloured Rainbow Flame could not melt it. Can you imagine how solid it is?”

Ling Jiu took a deep breath.

“What the hell is this thing?”

The trio were shocked.

“I suppose it’s some kind of ore, and if you add this red crystal into a weapon or a spacecraft, the effect... heh!”

Ling Jiu smiled. “So, this is absolutely a treasure, so as long as we collect more of them and bring them back to sell, we can absolutely make a killing!”

“Make sense!”

The trio’s eyes lit up.

Money was useless to them, but contribution points and ultimate treasures of heaven and earth were of great use to them. If they could exchange contribution points and ultimate treasures of heaven and earth, then they would have earned big!

“Find it!”

“Find it now!”

The trio were very excited.

BOOM—

Just at this moment, a huge wave was set off in the distance as the four turned around as they saw a behemoth rushing through the magma towards them.
