The eel was completely enraged by Lu Yuan's provocation and launched a series of fireball attacks.
Lu Yuan has broken through to the Xuanzhen level, and his physical attributes have improved in all aspects. Although dodging is still somewhat difficult, it is much easier than before.
Just after Lu Yuan dodged countless fireballs, the eel's attack suddenly stopped, and it looked straight behind him.
Lu Yuan turned around in confusion.
Suddenly, a bright light burst forth from Xiao Yi's body. Even though he was near the molten lava, he could still feel the intense heat emanating from the light, as if it were imprinted deep within his soul.
In the blink of an eye, the light faded.
A girl who looked to be around sixteen years old appeared, her long, smooth, light golden hair fluttering in the wind, her pointed ears twitching slightly, and her emerald green eyes seemed to flash with a captivating light.
She was prettier than any girl Lu Yuan had ever seen before!
"Little Yi?"
Lu Yuan spoke with some uncertainty.
"Eee~"
The girl tilted her head and smiled at Lu Yuan.
"Thump!"
Lu Yuan felt his heart skip a beat.
This isn't some kind of natural spirit; it's an enchanting fairy with a smile that could topple cities!
"roar!!!"
Lu Yuan was captivated by the girl's beauty when an untimely shout instantly drew his attention back.
Along with it came a massive fireball unlike anything seen before.
"Holy crap!"
Lu Yuan cried out in surprise and was about to run away when suddenly a golden flash flew by and dispersed the fireball.
Xiao Yi instantly appeared beside Lu Yuan, and a blue magic circle appeared beneath her feet, extinguishing all the scattered flames in mid-air.
"This is... the Divine Protection Array?"
Lu Yuan was slightly surprised.
The Holy Protection Array was originally a damage reduction skill. All teammates within the Holy Protection Array's range would receive a 30% damage reduction, but it had no offensive function.
However, at this moment.
He actually sensed an extremely strong attack from the Holy Protection Array released by Xiao Yi.
With a sense of doubt, he reached out and touched Xiao Yi, then used the system to perform a check.

"You've gained another skill?"
Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow and clicked on the skill description.
[Holy Light Shines: Gathers the power of Seraphim, transforming it into a miraculous light with restorative and offensive properties, restoring the spiritual power of allies and attacking enemies.]
"It's a skill that combines healing and attack, that's too powerful! Did it awaken during a breakthrough?"
Lu Yuan was overjoyed.
I never expected such a good thing to happen.
With the holy light shining upon him, he no longer had to worry about running out of spiritual energy!
That's not all.
Xiao Yi's other skills have also evolved.
Just as he had guessed, the Divine Protection Array not only had a damage reduction effect, but also an attack bonus.
The buff from Hymn of Courage has nearly doubled, and even the attack power and range of Holy Light have increased!
In this way.
Even if the eel hides in the lava, Xiao Yi can still attack with her cross-shaped holy light.
"Little Yi, go! Use Holy Light of the Cross!" Lu Yuan immediately commanded.
"babble!"
Xiao Yi mobilized her spiritual power, condensing it into a golden cross, and attacked the eel in the molten lava at an extremely fast speed!
"Aww!"
The holy light, which had previously been unable to penetrate the eel's defenses, had now left a deep mark on its body.
The eel let out a painful howl, its huge body twisting and turning, sending up clumps of molten lava rolling out.
Lu Yuan dared not linger and quickly retreated to avoid the attack, while ordering Xiao Yi to continue attacking.
"Little Yi, now's the time!"
Xiao Yi instantly understood Lu Yuan's meaning. She pushed off with her feet and launched herself like a cannonball, landing on the eel's head.
The eel thrashed wildly, trying to shake Xiao Yi off.
"babble!"
Xiao Yi roared angrily and unleashed another Holy Light Cross at its head.
"Awooo!!!"
The eel let out a painful scream, and a mixture of red and white liquid gushed out of its head. It struggled even more frantically, and Xiao Yi couldn't stand up at all and was thrown off.
"Little Yi!"
Lu Yuan rushed forward and caught Xiao Yi.
It rolled several times before finally crashing into the wall and stopping.
"Are you alright?" Lu Yuan asked with concern.
"Eee~" Little Yi smiled with her eyes narrowed, indicating that she was alright.
"It's good that you're alright." Lu Yuan put down Xiao Yi and looked up at the eel in the lava.
The eel, which had been so arrogant just moments before, was now floating belly up in the lava, completely lifeless.
"Phew! Finally dead!"
Lu Yuan let out a long sigh of relief and slumped to the ground.
I didn't feel it when I was on edge, but now that I've relaxed, I feel completely drained, and I can barely lift my hand.
I never expected that they would actually kill a level-elemental demon beast.
Lu Yuan walked to the edge of the lava, put the eel's corpse into his beast-taming space, and also performed a test on it.
[Race: Charizard]
[Attribute: Fire]
[Level: Earth Spirit Tier 1]
[Potential: Tier 2 Earth Spirit]
[Bloodline: Earth Spirit Tier 4]
[Talent: Molten Enhancement (Mutation)]
[Skills: Rage Breath, Fireball, Tail Sweep]
[Status: Adult, Deceased]
"Huh? It's not an eel, but a fire dragon?!" Lu Yuan was somewhat surprised.
It looks exactly like an eel...
"This fire-breathing dragon's attack is so powerful, yet it's only at the Earth Spirit level 1. It seems that in addition to the mutation of its talent, the nearby lava environment also provided a lot of boost. Fortunately, it broke through to the Profound True level at the critical moment, otherwise it might have really died here."
Moreover, Xiao Yi's skill evolution also played a crucial role.
Lu Yuan patted Xiao Yi's head to encourage her, then looked at the crystal tree not far away.
He hadn't forgotten about that.
His intuition told him that all the strange things in the lava cave originated from this tree.
Moreover, judging from Charizard's attack just now, it is very likely that it was protecting this tree.
"Let's go take a look."
After observing his surroundings and confirming that there were no other dangers, Lu Yuan quickly ran towards the crystal tree.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that this was not a crystal tree at all, but rather a solidified form of pure spiritual energy.
"My goodness, how much spiritual power would it take to condense something like this!"
Lu Yuan couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
Just by standing next to it, he could feel the immense spiritual power emanating from it, a feeling he had never experienced with Mu Ruxing's towering python!
"Could it be that the existence of this tree has already reached the level of a phantom god?"
Lu Yuan was overjoyed.
The stronger the presence of this tree, the higher the probability that it contains treasures.
They quickly climbed up the tree trunk.
really.
At the very top of the tree canopy, Lu Yuan spotted a round object that was shimmering with a faint light.
"This is... an egg?"
