With Chi Lin's attack power, it was simply not enough to break through the Black Dragon's defense. Even if Xiao Yi could help Chi Lin recover from its injuries, it would definitely be the first to be exhausted.

Therefore, Lu Yuan never intended to fight in a conventional way from the beginning.

At first, he had Chi Lin use his skills to attack, just to provoke the Black Dragon and lure it to the shore, away from the lake.

Once on land, that's where Crimson Scales reign supreme!

Using the Earth Manipulation Technique in conjunction with the Frenzied Rock Collapse, a pit large enough to bury the Black Dragon was created.

Then, Xiao Yi was asked to help suppress it and prevent the black dragon from escaping.

At the same time, relying on the high temperature of the Heavenly Fire, they used phosphorescent fire attacks.

Even if it cannot break through the Black Dragon's defenses, it can still heat the surrounding rocks, gradually forming an ultra-high temperature lava pit.

After this series of actions...

Let alone a black dragon, even Mu Ruxing's monstrous python would die here!

The black dragon was seen struggling inside the lava pit created by the red scales, letting out painful hiss.

A short while later.

The roar gradually weakened and eventually fell silent.

The situation reversed so quickly that Mu Ruxing was dumbfounded. Before she could react, the black dragon was already dead.

"This...this is it?"

Mu Ruxing muttered to herself.

He originally thought that the difference in level between the two sides was too great, and that Chi Lin and Xiao Yi would either be captured and killed by the Black Dragon or die from exhaustion of spiritual power.

But now, apart from looking a bit disheveled from being covered in dust, his eyes are shining brightly, and he doesn't look weak at all.

It has to be said.

Besides the seamless cooperation between Chi Lin and Xiao Yi, what was even more surprising was Lu Yuan's command and decision-making.

To be able to devise such a meticulous plan in such a short time, allowing two beasts to kill the Black Dragon Jiao despite being ten levels higher.

He's absolutely freakish!

After the Black Dragon died, Red Scales carried the newly dug-out elixir to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan took the elixir and placed it in his palm.

By the faint moonlight, he could see specks of golden light floating inside the elixir; from a distance, they looked like dancing golden orbs.

"Judging from this elixir, the Black Dragon Flood Dragon is probably about to break through to the Earth Spirit level. Let Chi Lin absorb it quickly!" Mu Ruxing said.

Lu Yuan nodded and tossed the elixir back to Chi Lin.

"Red Scale, absorb this elixir!"

Red Scale leaped up and swallowed the elixir.

The elixir instantly transformed into a stream of pure energy, which surged into Chi Lin's body.

The Crimson Scale and the Black Dragon Flood Dragon share the same origin, giving them a significant advantage when absorbing elixirs.

But only for a moment.

A powerful force erupted from within the Crimson Scale.

Mu Ruxing was startled when she sensed such a strong energy fluctuation.

The Devouring Python has devoured many elixir-making creatures of the dragon race, but it has never seen such a violent reaction!

But he didn't know.

Even among the dragon-like creatures, the Black Dragon Dragon is considered a high-level demonic beast, and it has a very high probability of evolving into a dragon after reaching adulthood.

The Crimson Scale itself possesses the bloodline power of the Candle Dragon, and the Black Dragon Flood Dragon's elixir is not merely for it to advance into a dragon!

It took about ten minutes.

The spiritual energy within Chi Lin's body gradually subsided.

Before Lu Yuan could even check, Chi Lin's head lolled to the side and he collapsed to the ground.

"Red Scales?!"

Lu Yuan rushed forward to check on her and found that Chi Lin had simply fainted.

What's going on?

Mu Ruxing looked puzzled.

Even if Chi Lin's level increases significantly after absorbing the elixir, it shouldn't fall into a deep sleep!

Suddenly.

Lu Yuan remembered something and brought up the attributes of the Crimson Scale.

Skip the previous data and look directly at the status bar.

[Status: Infancy (transitional stage), very healthy]

"No wonder," Lu Yuan muttered to himself.

When it first made a contract with the Crimson Scale, it was already in its juvenile stage (un-molted). Now, it must have unexpectedly met the conditions for molting after consuming the Black Dragon Flood Dragon's elixir.

Lu Yuan smiled slightly at Mu Ruxing's questioning gaze.

"Don't worry, it's just entering a transformation period and is therefore dormant. It's nothing serious."

Lu Yuan's words did not calm Mu Ruxing down; instead, they shocked him even more.

"What?! A transformation?!"

You need to know.

His colossal python has absorbed no less than a hundred elixir pills from dragons, yet it shows no sign of transformation whatsoever.

But Chi Lin only absorbed the Black Dragon Flood Dragon's spiritual pill and directly entered the transformation period?

Mu Ruxing stared blankly at Lu Yuan.

It must be said that the kind of beast a master has determines the kind of beast he tames...

Considering Lu Yuan's almost monstrous actions, it doesn't seem unreasonable for Chi Lin to immediately undergo a transformation...

After returning the Crimson Scale to his Beast Taming Space, Lu Yuan deliberately placed it under the ancient tree.

With the spiritual power of the ancient tree, it might be able to help Chi Lin accelerate his transformation period.

It's just a pity.

I wonder when Chi Lin will wake up. I hope he can make it in time for the secret realm to open.

Seeing Lu Yuan bring Chi Lin back to the Beast Taming Space, Mu Ruxing consciously went to clean up the battlefield.

As a ninth-level Xuanzhen demon beast, the Black Dragon Flood Dragon possesses more than just spiritual pills; roasting and eating its snake meat can also increase spiritual power, which is helpful for the beast tamer's cultivation.

After enjoying a delicious meal of roasted snake meat, Mu Ruxing insisted on keeping watch alone all night.

Seeing his resolute attitude and the fact that he had been fighting all day, Lu Yuan was also tired, so he went to bed early to rest.

...

The next morning.

The two resumed their journey to the Black Forest.

However, Chi Lin was still asleep, and Xiao Yi was hunting monsters alone.

But to Mu Ruxing's surprise, Xiao Yi's killing speed was not slow at all.

If someone who didn't know better saw it, they would never imagine that it was just a healing-type beast.

Next.

While directing Xiao Yi to hunt monsters, Lu Yuan made his way towards the Black Forest.

After a two-day journey, we finally arrived at the Black Forest.

...

"Captain Yang, what should we do now?"

Somewhere in the Black Forest.

Yang Baiming and the others stood back to back, staring nervously at the group of people who had surrounded them.

"What can we do? They started this trouble first, so what are we afraid of? At worst, we'll just fight them!" one of the team members said.

“The other side has a large number of people and two Earth Spirit level Beast Tamers. We can’t defeat them. The secret realm is about to open tomorrow, so it’s not wise to cause any trouble now.” Yang Baiming said with a serious expression.

"But they clearly don't want to let us go!"

The words had barely left his mouth.

Among the group that surrounded them, a young man with dyed yellow hair stepped forward.

"Stop resisting! I don't necessarily want your lives. Just tell me where those energy-containing crystals you have come from, and I'll spare your lives!"

"otherwise……"

"fart!"

Before Huang Mao could finish speaking, Yang Baiming interrupted him with a loud curse.

"Don't even mention that you lot can't kill me! And even if you die, I'm not going to tell you the origin of the Crystal Energy Stone!"

Yang Baiming's attitude thoroughly angered Huang Mao.

"Fine! Since you won't talk, I'll beat you until you do!"

"Charge them!"
