The huge cave was a scene of devastation, with lava pits everywhere. The constantly churning lava brought a scorching heat, mixed with the smell of sulfur, which made Lu Yuan's throat hurt.
"Is this... a secret realm?"
Lu Yuan looked around curiously.
The entrance to the secret realm was lush with trees and grass, but inside it turned out to be an extremely harsh lava zone.
"So you've broken up with Mu Ruxing... I never imagined that the formation at the entrance would be so profound..."
If he wasn't mistaken, the fluorescent light at the entrance should be the light emitted when the formation was activated.
To his surprise, the array was so powerful that it could even be compared to the intermediate arrays sold in the system store.
You need to know.
The intermediate-level formations sold in the store are at least legendary formations of the ninth rank or higher.
"We can study that formation more carefully when we get out, but for now..."
Lu Yuan looked up and around.
He could sense that there were many demonic beasts around him. Now that Mu Ruxing was not by his side, he had to be careful in everything he did.
"Xiao Yi." Lu Yuan released Xiao Yi from the beast taming space.
As soon as she came out, Xiao Yi blinked her eyes and looked around with a curious expression.
"Eee!"
Xiao Yi waved her hand, as if complaining to Lu Yuan that this place was really ugly and not fun at all like the previous places.
Most importantly, it's unbearably hot.
Despite the protection of the seraph, she was still sweating profusely from the heat.
Lu Yuan patted her head and smiled, "Bear with it for now, and be careful of your surroundings, this place..."
Before he could finish speaking...
Not far away, a giant fire lizard about five meters long poked its head out from the lava and attacked Lu Yuan without saying a word!
Lu Yuan reacted quickly, rolling to the side to avoid the fireball spewed by the fire lizard.
However, before he could even get his footing, a second fireball came right away.
"Damn! What's up with this stinky lizard?"
Lu Yuan cursed angrily and quickly hid behind a nearby boulder, but his arm was still grazed by the fireball, leaving a large, gruesome burn.
"hiss!"
Lu Yuan gasped in pain.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Yi immediately used her skill to help him recover from his injuries.
The fire lizards continued their relentless attacks over the lava, but fortunately, the boulder Lu Yuan was dodging was hard enough that it didn't break after taking a hit.
"Judging from the aura emanating from the fire lizard, it is at least at the third level of the Profound True Realm, and may even have reached the fifth level of the Profound True Realm."
"This won't do. This rock can only withstand a couple more blows before it breaks. We need to find a way to kill that stinky lizard!"
Lu Yuan took a deep breath and analyzed the situation carefully.
Currently, Xiao Yi's level is only at the ninth level of the Extraordinary Realm, which is more than four levels lower than the Fire Lizard, and even crosses a class.
Under normal circumstances, Lu Yuan's wisest choice would be to seize the time to escape.
But he had confidence in Xiao Yi; a mere four-level difference was nothing to him.
The biggest problem now is...
The fire lizard remained hidden in the lava, and Xiao Yi's skills couldn't reach it due to insufficient range.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the boulder where he was hiding shattered.
Lu Yuan quickly dodged, and at the same time commanded, "Xiao Yi, go!"
"babble!"
Xiao Yi pushed off with her feet and charged towards the fire lizard in one leap!
Seeing that Xiao Yi had actually attacked, the fire lizard immediately changed its target, launching a barrage of fireballs at Xiao Yi.
"babble!"
Xiao Yi scoffed dismissively and nimbly dodged all the fireballs.
Undeterred, the fire lizard continued its fireball attacks.
But Xiao Yi was agile, and the fireballs didn't even touch the hem of her clothes, let alone hit her.
"Eeeeeee!~"
Little Yi stood not far from the fire lizard, wiggling its butt proudly, as arrogant as could be.
However.
No matter how much Xiao Yi provoked it, the fire lizard hid in the lava and wouldn't come out, completely refusing to be fooled.
Lu Yuan, who was observing from a distance, frowned upon seeing this.
Logically speaking, a fire lizard of this level shouldn't have such high intelligence; it shouldn't have been able to withstand Xiao Yi's provocation and should have immediately charged at her.
And at the very beginning.
The fire lizard didn't attack Xiao Yi, but attacked him directly.
This is also very unusual.
Normally, monsters usually attack their tamers first, and only then come back to attack the tamers.
Why does this fire lizard keep doing things the wrong way?
Could it be that this fire lizard has extremely high potential and bloodline level, perhaps even reaching the Heavenly Evolution level or higher?
While Lu Yuan was pondering, the fire lizard's attacks did not stop.
But Xiao Yi was incredibly agile, and the fire lizard's continuous fireball attacks couldn't hit her.
But Xiao Yi couldn't enter the lava, nor could she hit the fire lizard.
The battle suddenly reached a stalemate.
Isn't that awkward...?
"Xiao Yi's attack methods are still too few."
Lu Yuan frowned, his mind racing as he considered how to respond.
Before he could even figure it out, a high-temperature fireball flew over.
!!
Lu Yuan quickly dodged.
Turning around, he saw the fire lizard leap over Xiao Yi again and spit three fireballs in his direction!
"Good grief, you're never going to let this go, are you?!"
Lu Yuan was completely enraged by the fire lizard.
After narrowly avoiding the fireball, he no longer restrained his strength and fully unleashed his talent—All Beasts Submit.
However.
It was different from what I had imagined.
The fire lizard showed no fear whatsoever; instead, it attacked Lu Yuan even more fiercely.
What's going on?
Lu Yuan was shocked.
Even Mu Ruxing's Heavenly Evolution-level Overlord Python couldn't help but tremble with fear when faced with the full power of the Ten Thousand Beasts Submitting.
But the fire lizard is just a Xuanzhen-level demon beast, how could it possibly have stronger resistance than the monstrous python?
Before he could figure it out, the fireball seemed to come hurtling towards him without any spiritual power.
no way!
We have no choice but to run!
Demonic beasts are inherently superior to humans in terms of physical attributes and other aspects. Moreover, he is only at the ninth level of the Profound Truth Realm, so he is definitely no match for the fire lizard and can only run away!
Lu Yuan made a decisive move and sprinted away from the lava.
Xiao Yi also ran back and stood behind Lu Yuan to cover for him.
They only stopped when they were several hundred meters away from the lava pool and were sure that the fire lizard's fireballs wouldn't come at them.
However.
This was something that Lu Yuan hadn't expected.
The fire lizard, which had been hiding in the lava pool, actually left the pool and chased after Lu Yuan!
