Deep inside the karst cave, in the middle of a scorching sea of fire, a demonic beast that looked like a giant dragon with thick scales on its body was crying mournfully.
Clusters of blood-like scarlet flames covered the scales all over his body. Like boiling kerosene, they surged all the way to his head and drilled into the horn on top of his head. The horn flickered with a metallic luster. It was scarlet red like a soldering iron and emitted wisps of flames.
A lean figure was quietly floating above the sea of fire, waiting. Both of his hands were making profound and mysterious hand seals. Those hand seals seemed to have a life of their own, jumping restlessly in the sea of fire like a lively fish swimming in the sea of fire.
The temperature in the karst cave was rising unceasingly. The eyes of the Fiery Flame Gold Lion and the Silver-horned Giant Python sparkled with a dim light. They were observing from different directions, not daring to breathe loudly, as they were afraid that something bad would happen.
Blood-red flames swam around the fiery flood dragon's body like lightning bolts. Each flame contained a strange light spot, which was the essence of the flame after it had been scattered and condensed, and it had an immeasurable, marvelous effect.
The fiery flames brought those strange lights, seeping through the gaps between the scales of the fiery flood dragon and seeping into its flesh and bones, making its body sturdy to an unimaginable level.
An immense layer of fiery light was reflected from the fiery flood dragon's body like a natural light cage. In this fiery cave, it wasn't eye-catching. However, it was releasing a scorching aura that could frighten people.
The Fiery Flame Gold Lion and the Silver-horned Giant Python suddenly became alert. They held their breaths, their eyes sparkling with dazzling light. Their minds were shaken, and their demon hearts were beating more violently.
The fiery flood dragon cried and roared, creating earth-shaking explosions. Even the hard rocks in the karst cave couldn't bear it, exploding one after another.
The person above the sea of flames remained motionless. He sat there quietly like a statue. Even the hand seals between his hands had been completely stopped by him.
Shortly after, he opened his eyes. Cold electric beams shot out from deep inside his pupils. Electric beams shot out from his eyes, weaving in the air. Fierce soul energy fluctuations poured into the sea of fire.
Countless heaven and earth treasures that had been smelted at the bottom of the sea of fire seemed to be infused with the mark of life. They turned into beams of light and surged into the flaming flood dragon's body, leaving not a single drop behind.
Clusters of flames gradually gathered together. After ten breaths of time, the sea of fire disappeared, leaving behind only a small cluster of the purest flame flowers. They nimbly jumped around, submerging into an ancient blood-colored ring on the man's finger.
The blazing cavern gradually regained its calm, to the point where one could hear a pin drop.
Fiery Dragon's giant body stood on the scorching red stone platform in the center. Fiery Dragon's body was moving with a fiery red light. That light was like a shooting star, extremely dazzling. The natural scales on his body were covered with a layer of liquid energy, releasing a scorching aura.
The single horn on his head was the most dazzling, as if it was a heavenly divine weapon, moving one's soul. It was like the radiance of the sun, difficult to conceal.
The Fiery Dragon curled its body, exhaling slowly. It quietly sensed the changes in its body, adjusting the rhythm of the energy in its body to summon the earth and heaven energy. It seemed to understand something, as a light of wisdom sparkled in its giant eyes.
Time seemed to stop at this moment.
It was unknown how long it had been. Fiery Dragon's body cracked. Countless filthy black dregs oozed out from the gaps of his scales. The stench was so pungent that it could stir people's lungs.
Even the Fiery Flame Gold Lion and the Silver-horned Giant Python couldn't endure it. They almost wanted to cover their faces and run away. It was the first time they recognized why the Human Clan felt so uncomfortable around them.
Only Fiery Dragon didn't recognize it. He slowly woke up. At first, he was surprised, but then he burst out laughing wildly. His laughter shook the sky, shaking the entire cave.
"Clean it up for me," Fiery Dragon finished laughing, his garnet eyes raking over the Silver-horned Giant Python as he ordered faintly.
His solemn and dignified aura was innate. He didn't need to purposely release it, but it could reach deep into people's hearts and alert their souls.
The Silver-horned Giant Python suddenly got it. It was bewildered for a while, then screamed hoarsely. "Master Fiery Dragon, you … You've shed your mortal body?"
When a demonic beast finished shedding its mortal body, the Blood Qi in its entire body would be condensed one more time. The stinky smell of demonic beasts on its body would be washed away completely. Quite the contrary, its body would have a sweet fragrance. It was the Monster Clan.
Only the demonic beasts that had shed their mortal body could become the members of the Monster Clan. Their flesh and blood would change subtly, and the demonic energy in their veins could be released quickly. The difference between the demonic beasts and the Monster Clan was to shed their mortal body.
Fiery Dragon grinned crazily. While laughing, his body shrank and changed, gradually turning into a human body. He was as sturdy as a mountain, with a blood-red skin and a single horn on his forehead with dazzling light.
Taking out a bronze mirror, Fiery Dragon observed his new appearance. He was more satisfied. He couldn't help but laugh again. "Haha, not bad. Not bad at all. You do have some tricks up your sleeve. From now on, you are my, Fiery Dragon's, friend! A true friend! "
The Fiery Flame Gold Lion and the Silver-horned Giant Python shivered. Their eyes sparkled with a deep desire, which was like a burning flame that almost burned that man.
The Silver-horned Giant Python hesitated for a while. Its thick, tree-like tail moved all of a sudden. A gust of wind swept over, cleaning the filth from Fiery Dragon's body.
"Many of the materials in your cave have been consumed. Just to refine your body, you've consumed seventy-eighty percent of them." Retrieving the Ten-Thousand-Year Earth Flame, Shi Yan was calm. He kept silent for a while, then said all of a sudden, "Actually, I can help you refine a secret treasure, if you have enough Fire class materials. Oh right, I can't help Fiery Flame and Silver-horned Giant Python to refine their bodies for a while. I don't have enough materials. "
The Fiery Flame Gold Lion and the Silver-horned Giant Python shivered uneasily, looking at Fiery Dragon, crying pitifully. "… Master Fiery Dragon."
"Do you have any solution?" Fiery Dragon waved his hand, signaling Fiery Flame and Silver-horned to stay calm. "As long as we have enough materials, you can do it?"
"In principle … yes." Shi Yan smiled modestly. "That … Blood-maned Giant Ape is also a level 9 demonic beast. The cultivating materials he has collected after so many years shouldn't be less than yours, right?"
Fiery Flame and Silver-horned's eyes flashed, showing their fear.
Fiery Dragon was also surprised. He frowned and said nothing. After a while, he said, "I … I'm not sure."
Shi Yan smiled, as he knew Fiery Dragon had misunderstood him. "I'm not asking you to deal with him. I mean, that Blood-maned Giant Ape belongs to your clan, right? He also has a lot of cultivating materials, right? "
Fiery Dragon was surprised. He nodded strangely, but a brutal light flashed in his eyes. He said maliciously, "Do you … want to help Blood-maned Giant Ape refine his body too?"
"What's wrong with that?" asked Shi Yan.
Fiery Dragon turned hostile immediately. "That b * stard is my archenemy. He wants to invade my territory. I won't let him increase his power!" His voice was resolute, his face blushing, his face grimaced.
Only he knew how much benefit his body had received from ShiYan's refinement.
Becoming extraordinary … was just a side benefit. At least, his body's power had increased one level. Even if he had to fight the Blood-maned Giant Ape, he wouldn't necessarily lose.
"The Perpetual Night Forest is vast. Are there only two strong members of the Monster Clan, you and the Blood-maned Giant Ape? Don't you have any other enemies? "Shi Yan smiled faintly.
Hearing him, Fiery Dragon discolored in fright, as if he had remembered something terrible. A gleam of fear flashed in his eyes, and his head shrank. "Of course not. There are others stronger than us. Currently, the Perpetual Night Forest isn't peaceful. Sometimes, members of other clans come out. Besides Human Clan, the Demon Clan and the Ghostface people are also active in the forest.
"If you and the Blood-maned Giant Ape exchange materials, I think you can get a big benefit. It's good for both of you." Shi Yan continued to persuade him. The cultivating materials in the Fiery Dragon's Cave Palace had shocked him a lot. Thinking about the Blood-maned Giant Ape, Shi Yan was almost sure that he had abundant materials. Perhaps, he had many things that Shi Yan had yearned for.
At this moment, Shi Yan didn't care about his principles. As long as he could increase his power, he didn't mind if he was dealing with the pagans or not.
Not only did he want to build a good relationship with Fiery Dragon, but he also wanted to use Fiery Dragon to capture all the hotshots of the Monster Clan in this area, making them his clients. Of course, he would charge them for the materials.
"I don't want to talk to the Blood-maned Giant Ape for the time being. Let's put it off for a while." Fiery Dragon pondered for a while. "If you don't have enough cultivating materials, I know another place. Yeah, it's a little dangerous. Perhaps you will be interested in it."
"Where is it?" Shi Yan's eyes brightened. He was interested indeed.
"It's also in the Perpetual Night Forest. However, it's not in my territory." Fiery Dragon thought for a while. "It's in the Blood-maned Giant Ape's territory. However, he doesn't dare to come close. You know forging and formations. Perhaps you can get in there. "
"Is it related to the Human Clan?" Shi Yan was excited.
"Yeah."
"Alright, take me there. If I find something, it will be good for both of us."
"We should try to avoid the Blood-maned Giant Ape. He's not easy to deal with. I don't want to fight him to the death."
"I'll listen to you."
At this side, while Shi Yan and Fiery Dragon were discussing their next plan, a Sound Stone in Shi Yan's Storage Ring suddenly sent him a fierce soul fluctuation before they could start.
Shi Yan discolored in fright. He hurried to take out the Sound Stone, sending his soul into it.
Fiery Dragon didn't say anything, just looking at him in silence. When he saw Shi Yan's face turn gloomy, he frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
"The Ghostface people went to my place. Their attitude wasn't friendly. I have to go back." Shi Yan put away the Sound Stone, waved his hand, and left.
"... Ghostface people." Fiery Dragon was surprised. He hesitated for a while and then said faintly. "Fiery Flame, Silver-horned, you guys take our boys. We're going there to check."
"Master, the Ghostface people have nothing to do with us. We don't need to go there," reminded Silver-horned.
"I know we don't need to. But that kid is useful to us. I want him to live well." Fiery Dragon snorted. He adjusted his appearance. After he felt everything was perfect, he left the cave.
