What he was really worried about were the two black lotuses. The Crimson Python was entrenched near the black lotuses, and if they were to get into a fight here, the Crimson Python could easily destroy the two black lotuses with a slight twist of its body. That was something he definitely did not want to see.
"I have to think of a way to lure it away!" Lin Li did not move forward, and instead retreated slowly under the gaze of the Crimson Python. He then found an empty space between the crisscrossing magma rivers, and threw the black stone platform that he had dismantled from the underground palace of the Dragon Mountains on the ground.
The huge black stone platform was once used to imprison the Crimson Dragon, and was also the core of the magic gears of the underground palace. It was unknown how many years it had been soaked in magma, but it was not damaged at all. Lin Li was not as rich as he was now back then. Hence, after killing the Crimson Dragon, he simply dismantled the stone platform and took it away. However, he did not find a use for it, and thus kept it in the Ring of Endless Storm. Anyway, the space in the ring was almost infinite.
Now, Lin Li threw the black stone platform out, not to level the ground here, but to give himself a place to stay. With Lin Li's strength, he would not be hurt even if he stood in the magma. However, what he was going to do now could not be done in the magma.
After landing on the black stone platform, Lin Li began to take things out of the ring again, and soon, he set up a simple pharmaceutical laboratory on the square platform. Yes, he wanted to concoct potions here, but given the environment above ground, even the Fire Crystal Grass would turn into ashes instantly, let alone other herbs. Hence, he thought of the black stone platform in the ring. Although it was still open-air, he could create a temporary isolated space with a simple mageweath as a temporary laboratory for concocting potions.
The potion that Lin Li wanted to concoct was not complicated. After adding more than 10 herbs, some stamens of the Polar Flame Flower, and the leaves of the Fire Crystal Grass, a few blood-red potions were quickly concocted. After concocting the potions, Lin Li flew into the air, and as his mental strength was injected into the Ring of Endless Storm, a large six-pointed star appeared under the black stone platform. In an instant, the large black stone platform and the various concocting equipment on it were put away.
The Crimson Python watched as Lin Li left, and its gaze returned to the two black lotuses, waiting for the best time to devour them. As long as there were no accidents, the Crimson Python would be able to reach the peak of level-22 with the power of these two black lotuses. Compared to this temptation, the outsider who only had a mouthful of meat could not pique its interest at all.
However, not long after the outsider left, the Crimson Python sensed an extremely alluring aura coming from the end of its line of sight. That aura seemed to come from something that contained more power than the black lotus. The Crimson Python could feel that if it swallowed that thing, it would probably be able to reach level-23 with its power.
However, why had he never felt such an aura before? Although the Crimson Python had the bloodline of a prehistoric magical beast, its bloodline was extremely thin, and its intelligence was not much different from that of an ordinary magical beast. After a moment of hesitation, it could not help but twist its body and slither towards the source of the aura.
However, not long after the Crimson Python left the two black lotuses, two shadows suddenly appeared beside the black lotuses as if they had broken through space, and dug up the black lotuses with extreme agility. Then, the two shadows didn't stay for a moment. Just like how they came, they disappeared into thin air along with the black lotus.
The Crimson Python was swimming towards the more alluring aura, but before it could see what it was, the aura suddenly disappeared. Immediately afterwards, it felt that the aura of the black lotus that it was guarding had also disappeared at this moment. It turned around to look, only to see that there was nothing there anymore. This time, the Crimson Python was really anxious. After roaring angrily, it turned around and pounced towards the black lotuses again in a bid to find out where the black lotuses had gone to.
However, at this moment, Lin Li appeared above the Crimson Python with the Helios' Scepter in his hand, and smashed down mercilessly with a Legendary-level magic spell. The aura that attracted the Crimson Python just now came from the potion that Lin Li had concocted at the last minute. The potion did not have any real medicinal effects, but it could release a very shocking fire elemental aura.
The two shadows were also two of the six new alchemy puppets that Angelano had given to Lin Li after studying the Shadow Assassin. Compared to the Shadow Assassin that only knew how to kill, the six new alchemy puppets not only had the superb assassination skills of the Shadow Assassin, but could also execute more detailed instructions perfectly. Otherwise, Lin Li would not have dared to use them to pluck the black lotuses.
However, even though he had already obtained the black lotuses, there were still many treasures on the Crimson Python. Lin Li had never been a wasteful person, so how could he let it go? Without any scruples, killing a level-21 Crimson Python was really a piece of cake for Lin Li. After a few spells bombarded the Crimson Python back and forth, the Crimson Python that had lived here for countless years let out an indignant roar, and lay motionless on the ground.
Lin Li could not be bothered to waste time dealing with it, and simply put the Crimson Python's carcass into the Ring of Endless Storm before continuing his search in a new area. How could Lin Li be satisfied with two black lotuses? Since there were two black lotuses in such an environment, there would definitely be more. Besides, it would be a huge gain even if there was one more black lotus.
While searching, Lin Li also used the temporary laboratory that he had set up on the black stone platform to concoct some potions. Of course, these potions were not just the ones used to lure the Crimson Python. In order to prevent the dangers that he might encounter when collecting the branch of the Tree of Eternity, Lin Li spent a lot of money on these potions, and even used half of the precious black lotus.
Fortunately, just as Lin Li had hoped, the environment here was indeed unique, and did not just give birth to the two black lotuses. After a careful search, Lin Li not only obtained a few black lotuses of excellent quality, but also other fire attribute herbs that he could not be bothered to count. Of course, every time he discovered a black lotus or other precious herbs, he would encounter some magical beasts guarding it. The level-21 Crimson Python was obviously just a small fry.
In such an environment, there was no way for magical beasts below the Legendary-level to survive. However, with Lin Li's strength, the magical beasts did not cause him much trouble, apart from worrying about the black lotus and other precious but fragile herbs being accidentally damaged. Lin Li's Legendary magical crystals alone were enough to make many people salivate, not to mention the precious black lotus. The corpses of the Legendary magical beasts were also of great value.
At this moment, Lin Li was also facing a mobile treasure vault, and an adult Crimson Dragon that had reached level-23 in strength. However, what really attracted Lin Li was not the adult Crimson Dragon, but the aura of the black lotus that came from the dragon's cave behind the Crimson Dragon. If it weren't for the fact that Lin Li's mental strength had been tempered by the control crystal when he was in the Sky Castle, it would not be easy for him to detect the existence of the black lotus under the Menace of the Crimson Dragon.
Back in the underground palace of the Dragon Mountains, Lin Li had also faced a Crimson Dragon. That Crimson Dragon had been imprisoned by Osric for many years, and its strength was no longer at its peak. It was also chained to the black stone platform, and its movements were greatly restricted. However, even then, Lin Li had risked his life in order to deal with the Crimson Dragon, and had put in a lot of effort.
However, Lin Li was no longer the same as he had been in the past. Even though he was facing an adult Crimson Dragon that was in its prime, he did not feel much pressure. Instead, he remained calm under the pressure of the mighty Menace of the Dragon. In Lin Li's eyes, the ferocious Crimson Dragon was no longer an enemy that was full of lethal threat, but a treasure vault waiting to be collected.
"Roar!"
Lin Li's gaze that seemed to be sizing up goods finally angered the proud Crimson Dragon. Although it felt that the insect opposite it seemed to have power that was not inferior to its own, as a descendant of the ancient wyrms, it had never been afraid of any challenge. With a furious roar, the Crimson Dragon flapped its huge wings and pounced towards the insect-like opponent. The majesty of a wyrm could not be desecrated. It wanted to tear the insect apart and burn it to ashes with its dragon breath.
There were many factors that determined the strength of one's strength. The level of humans and magical beasts were generally not the same. If it were an ordinary level-23 Legendary-mage, he would probably be at a disadvantage in the face of an attack from a wyrm of the same level. After all, wyrms had a strong body and extremely high magic resistance, which was a huge threat even to Legendary-mages.
Unfortunately, the one that the Crimson Dragon was facing this time was not an ordinary human Legendary-mage. Looking at the menacing Crimson Dragon, Lin Li smiled. The corpse of the previous Crimson Dragon had been used on his Humerus Wyrm. Hence, he could use it for something else this time. Before he made a move, Lin Li was already thinking about how to use the various parts of the Crimson Dragon's body in the future.
The huge body of the Crimson Dragon had already rushed in front of Lin Li in the blink of an eye. At the same time, it opened its bloody mouth and spat a mouthful of dragon breath at Lin Li. The dragon breath that could burn everything seemed to be extremely hot even in this space that was already extremely hot. It was as if it was going to burn through the space.
