When the giant saw the invader being submerged by its own poisonous mist, it turned around and prepared to retreat back into the magma.

But the green poisonous fog suddenly surged, and countless flames burst out from it.

Immediately afterwards, the flames grew brighter, the poisonous fog was blown away by the powerful flame energy, and Li Zhiming's figure reappeared in the giant's sight.

A human-like light flashed across the giant's eyes, and it was clearly a look of surprise.

It was the first time he saw a human being who could withstand his poisonous fog and not be affected in any way!

Li Zhiming lightly dusted off his clothes to get rid of the remaining poison on his body.

Having practiced the Taiqing Heart Method, he has long been immune to all poisons. Even without opening the Qi shield, he can easily resist the poisonous fog of the monster.

Even though the toxicity of this poisonous fog is extremely strong and highly corrosive.

But wanting to cause any substantial harm to him is nothing but a pipe dream.

Not to mention that he practiced the Taiqing Heart Method, his body alone was comparable to that of a fourth-grade demon. Whether it was hardness, toughness, or resistance to poison, it was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Li Zhiming raised the corners of his mouth slightly and looked at the huge monster below with a smile.

He knew that precious natural treasures must be guarded by powerful and ferocious beasts.

The giant creature in front of him was already a fifth-grade demon. In terms of combat power, it was almost the same as a perfect fifth-grade warrior, or even stronger.

If any other disciple from the sect were to come and be ambushed by him, he would either be killed or crippled.

But to him, the strength of this monster is still not enough.

He carefully looked at the monster below, and his holographic eye was immediately opened.

【Name: Magma Monitor Lizard】

[Race: Demon Race—Ancient Relics]

[Realm: Fifth-Rank Great Demon]

[Habits: Lives in extremely hot places, most commonly in magma]

[Features: Thick skin, resistant to high temperatures, sharp teeth, extremely terrifying bite force, fierce fire poison in the body, can corrode the flesh of a fifth-grade demon! ]

"It turned out to be a magma giant lizard, also a monster left over from ancient times. Fortunately, it is not an ancient fierce beast with pure blood."

Li Zhiming put away the holographic eye and looked at the huge magma giant lizard below. It was about three meters long, green all over, and had skin as thick as rock.

At this time, the lava giant lizard was lying on the stone platform below, holding the colorful necklace behind him.

A pair of green-brown vertical pupils stared at Li Zhiming vigilantly, and then opened its bloody mouth and roared twice at Li Zhiming.

This roar was already considered a sonic attack, creating strong waves that made Li Zhiming's hair and clothes flutter.

An ordinary sixth-rank warrior would probably be blown away by this shout.

"Little lizard, this colorful necklace is formed by gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and evolving over a long period of time. It is not your personal property."

"The treasures of heaven and earth are known to those who are capable. If you think this thing is yours, then pick it up. If you don't have that ability, then get out of the way."

"You have practiced till now and finally entered the fifth level, and have developed a very high spiritual intelligence. Once you enter the third level, you will be able to transform into a human form. If you insist on hindering me now, your efforts of nearly a thousand years will be in vain."

Li Zhiming spoke up to remind him.

Although this lizard is no match for him, it has thick skin and strong defense.

It would take some effort to kill him, so it would be best if we could get the Five-Colored Necklace without bloodshed.

“Roar~”

The lizard opened its bloody mouth and roared at Li Zhiming again. This time the roar was much louder than before, and it was mixed with a strong warning. It was obvious that it did not take Li Zhiming's words to heart.

"There is a limit to the amount of treasures we can take. I noticed that new buds have sprouted from the roots of this colorful necklace, so I thought of sparing your life so that you can continue to guard this place."

"Since you are determined to die, I will have no choice but to take your demon core and feed it to my little Jin."

Li Zhiming shook his head and sighed, his eyes suddenly becoming sharp.

Then, a powerful wave of true energy spread out instantly.

Although Li Zhiming's current realm is only the middle stage of the fifth rank, the aura fluctuations he exudes are already comparable to those of a fourth rank strongman!

One terrifying air wave after another came, the entire crater began to tremble slightly, the magma continued to surge, and debris continued to fall off the surrounding stone walls and smash into the magma.

Seeing this, the lava giant lizard below subconsciously crawled back two steps, and a hint of fear flashed across its vertical pupils.

He didn't expect that the human warrior who invaded this time would have such powerful strength. He was clearly only in the middle stage of the fifth rank!

"Shua~"

Li Zhiming suddenly attacked, turning into a beam of light and rushing towards the giant magma lizard below.

The two eyes of the lava monitor lizard moved around, but it could only barely catch Li Zhiming's trace.

In just a few breaths, Li Zhiming descended from the sky and stepped on the skull of the giant lizard with a tremendous force.

The fire lizard twisted its body and crawled backwards, narrowly avoiding Li Zhiming's attack.

Bang~!

With a dull thud, Li Zhiming fell to the ground.

The ground beneath my feet sunk three inches, forming a deep pit, and cracks spread out like a spider web.

When the lava monitor lizard saw this scene, its pupils couldn't help but dilate.

There was a look of surprise among them.

It was just a simple attack, but it had such ferocious power. If it hit him, even if it couldn't break his defense, it would be enough to make him dizzy for a while.

"So a fifth-grade demon can also run?"

Li Zhiming sneered, and before he finished his words, he disappeared again.

The next second, it appeared on the head of the lava monitor lizard.

The lava monitor lizard suddenly jumped up and swung its thick tail towards Li Zhiming.

The blow was so powerful that it seemed to tear the air apart, causing a sharp whistling sound.

Seeing this, Li Zhiming did not dodge, but turned around and kicked out.

The power of his turning whip kick was extremely terrifying, like an iron whip lashing out at high speed, and a sonic boom was heard wherever it passed!

Bang~!

A muffled sound.

The monitor lizard's tail collided with Li Zhiming's calf.

Two huge forces collided with a loud bang.

Li Zhiming's power was obviously stronger and he had an absolute advantage.

The monitor lizard was blown around in the sky for several circles by the powerful force before it stopped. It fell to the ground with a dull sound.

He shook his tail gently, and a crack appeared on his armor-like skin, with a few strands of light red blood mixed in.

The monitor lizard dug the ground with its two front paws and retreated several meters again.

This was the first time he encountered such a powerful human warrior.

Relying solely on physical strength, he was able to break through his own defense. So who is the monster and who is the human?

The lava monitor lizard is a little confused.

The human in front of him was too powerful, and he realized that he was no match for him.

But she didn't want to watch the colorful necklace that she had guarded for nearly a thousand years being taken away.

"Are you scared?"

"You're right to be scared. Leave now and I'll spare your life. Otherwise, I'll use your bones to make soup!"

Li Zhiming snorted coldly, his tone full of threats.

"roar!"

The lava monitor lizard opened its mouth and roared, expressing its anger and unwillingness.

In all his life, this was the first time he was threatened by a human boy.

But he was helpless. A random punch from the opponent could cause damage to his body. If he tried his best, it was doubtful whether he could hold on for a quarter of an hour.

"Not convinced?"

Li Zhiming glanced at the monitor lizard and questioned in a deep voice.

Although the lava monitor lizard was unhappy, it could do nothing but roar again, then turned around and jumped into the lava, disappearing without a trace.

"That's pretty interesting."

A smile appeared on Li Zhiming's face. This was the best way, and there was no need to waste energy.
