Jiang Boyue looked at the three lava lizards in the distance with a solemn expression.
Even if all 17 of them were to attack that magma lizard together, they might not be able to kill it, let alone the fact that there are three magma lizards guarding the dragon fruit tree right now.
Jiang Boyue shook his head and said, "Brother Grassroots, those three magma lizards are already high-level Tier 3 immortal beasts. They can kill me in an instant. Let's retreat quickly!"
Lin Caogen looked at the magma lizards; even from a kilometer away, he could still see their enormous bodies.
Each magma lizard is ten meters long and two meters tall, resembling a dinosaur on Earth. However, these magma lizards have tough skin, can breathe fire, and are far more powerful than dinosaurs.
Jiang Boyue led Lin Caogen and quietly retreated ten miles before releasing a signal arrow.
A sharp, piercing arrow shot into the sky, then exploded in mid-air like a firework.
The surrounding mythical beasts noticed the unusual activity and rushed towards the location.
Jiang Boyue took out an invisibility talisman and pulled Lin Caogen to hide on the trunk of an ancient tree.
Hundreds of mythical beasts swarmed in, then wandered around before leaving one after another.
About half an hour later, the sound of wind breaking through the air rang out.
Sixteen figures descended from the sky to the spot where Jiang Boyue had fired the signal arrow.
The woman in black at the head of the group was Fu Yunxuan.
Upon seeing the main force arrive, Jiang Boyue and Lin Caogen jumped directly down from the big tree.
Fu Yunxuan asked, "Junior Brother Boyue has found the dragon fruit tree?"
Jiang Boyue nodded and said, "That's right, Senior Sister. The dragon fruit tree is only ten miles ahead, but it is guarded by three high-level Tier 3 magma lizards. If the seventeen of us join forces, we should be able to kill one, but there are three magma lizards now, and we can't rule out the possibility that there are other immortal beasts hiding in the shadows. I'm afraid it will not be easy to obtain the dragon fruit this time."
Fu Yunxuan also fell into deep thought! She hadn't expected there to be three magma lizards guarding the dragon fruit tree. Three magma lizards were definitely not something they, as young disciples, could kill together.
Yu Renjie chuckled sheepishly, "Yunxuan, those three magma lizards might just be the ones we can see. There might be other peak-stage third-tier immortal beasts out there. There's a reason why dragon fruit is so precious in the Three Rings Continent. Even if my father came in person, he could only barely handle one magma lizard. Now that we've found the location of the dragon fruit tree, I think we should retreat first and call the elders of the two major sects to join forces and kill these magma lizards!"
Fu Yunxuan retorted angrily, "Yu Renjie! Use your brain! Do you think we have that much influence if we summon the elders of both major sects? There are only a few dragon fruit trees left, who will get them?"
Yu Renjie chuckled awkwardly, "Yunxuan, I know the dragon fruit is extremely important to you, but those three lava lizards are really intimidating. Why don't we take a closer look before making a decision?"
Fu Yunxuan nodded and said, "Okay, let's observe from close range first. Everyone, please keep your presence hidden."
Fu Yunxuan was also conflicted. She had originally thought there might only be one lava lizard guarding the dragon fruit tree, but she hadn't expected there to be three today. Reaching a kilometer from the dragon fruit tree, they could see the three large lizards sleeping with their eyes half-closed. If they were to awaken these three monsters, everyone's lives would be in danger.
Just as everyone hesitated, a cry came from the sky.
Jiang Bo took one look and exclaimed in surprise, "Senior Sister, this is bad! It's a Golden-Winged Roc, a peak third-tier immortal beast!"
Everyone looked up and saw a giant golden bird with a wingspan of more than ten meters flying from a distance, heading straight for the dragon fruit tree.
This golden-winged roc loves to peck at all kinds of magical fruits. When it smells the fragrance of dragon fruit, it immediately swoops down to pick one.
This action directly woke up the three lava lizards and successfully angered them.
Three magma lizards were seen spraying high-temperature fire beams directly at the mouth of the golden-winged roc.
The golden-winged roc couldn't dodge in time and was directly hit by the high-temperature fire beam, letting out a miserable cry as it flew away.
The high-temperature jet of fire shot out a kilometer away, and the sky was almost deformed by the intense heat.
Yu Renjie gasped.
If the magma lizard were to unleash a high-temperature jet of fire at him, he would surely die.
Even the Golden-Winged Roc at the peak of the third tier was no match for these three magma lizards. Although they flew away, the aroma of roasted birds wafted over.
Lin Caogen estimated that the fire jets spewed by the three magma lizards were at least 5,000 degrees Celsius.
Such high temperatures would likely be too much for even a peak Core Formation stage cultivator's protective shield.
However, the B-grade armor that Yang Guo gave himself should be able to withstand this temperature without any problem.
Yu Renjie looked at Fu Yunxuan and said, "Yunxuan, I think we should forget about it. Although the magma lizard is a land reptile, the range of its high-temperature fire attack is about one kilometer. We are already in great danger standing here. Dragon fruit is precious, but human life is more precious! As long as we are alive, we can always find a way to survive."
Fu Yunxuan retorted angrily, "What do you know! I want the dragon fruit not to improve my own strength, but for my father."
Yu Renjie was taken aback and asked, "Uncle, what happened? Are you injured? With your cultivation level, who could possibly hurt you?"
Fu Yunxuan remained silent.
Jiang Boyue said, "Young Master Yu, you may not know this, but my senior sister's father was injured by the Xuanming Elders while fighting with the experts of the Demonic Sect. He is now suffering from the cold poison, and only the Warm Heart Pill, which is made by a third-level alchemist, can save his life. However, the third-level alchemist said that without the Fire Dragon Fruit, the Warm Heart Pill cannot be made. That is why my senior sister came here despite everything."
Yu Renjie fell silent for a moment. He might not even be able to defeat a single magma lizard, let alone three. Who knows, a third-tier immortal beast might suddenly appear. Even his father, Yu Canghai, wouldn't dare to do something so dangerous.
