"Bullshit! How could I, Liu Erlong, possibly be hugging you to sleep!" Liu Erlong immediately retorted.
"The facts prove it was you. Otherwise, why were you hugging me, and not me hugging you?" Xiao Ze asked.
"Uh…" Liu Erlong thought for a moment, then quickly said, "Maybe you just wanted to relive a mother's embrace."
Xiao Ze couldn't help but roll his eyes. Although you're quite big, that's truly shameless.
A mother's embrace? Besides that one big part, where else do you resemble a mother?
Liu Erlong's cheeks flushed slightly from Xiao Ze's gaze, and she immediately turned her head away.
"Alright, we need to get going. Don't waste my time." Xiao Ze also didn't want to waste time on such matters with Liu Erlong.
What if she really went wild and devoured him? That wouldn't be good.
He was still a weak child.
She was a powerful aunt.
After the two entered the Spirit Core area, they became much more vigilant. This inner region was full of Spirit Beasts over ten thousand years old, and they could even encounter hundred-thousand-year-old Spirit Beasts. Not being vigilant would only lead to death.
"Are you sure it's in that direction?" Xiao Ze asked.
"It's right there, at the base of a volcano. See, isn't that a volcano?"
Following Liu Erlong's refer toinstruction, Xiao Ze saw a low, small volcano standing quietly.
It wasn't like those majestic volcanic peaks; instead, it resembled a small hillock that had risen from the earth, only dozens of meters high.
White smoke puffed from its concave top, and its body was covered in cooled basalt.
Red lava occasionally seeped from its cracks.
The crater was also only dozens of meters in diameter, with new molten rock erupting from time to time.
The area around the volcano was barren.
The two slowly moved forward, encountering many fire-attribute Spirit Beasts along the way.
This place indeed seemed quite suitable for fire-attribute Spirit Beasts to live.
The two arrived not far from the volcano.
Before them was a dark-red lava lake nearly a thousand meters in diameter. The lake's surface was not calm water, but viscous, slowly writhing magma, with charred bubbles constantly rising to the surface.
Then, with a soft pop, they burst, splattering sporadic sparks.
Within a hundred meters of the shore, the air was already distorted and steaming. Ordinary plants simply could not survive here; there wasn't even a single plant-type Spirit Beast.
Xiao Ze wiped his forehead. This strange place was really hot.
"There are quite a few Spirit Beasts here. Which one have you set your sights on?" The two were currently hiding behind a rock.
"It's that huge lizard, the Scarlet Flame Dragon Lizard. Legend says it possesses a thin bloodline of a fire dragon, which is consistent with my Spirit, so it will have the best effect for me." Liu Erlong hadn't expected there to be such a Spirit Beast here. It was truly excellent.
"The seven scarlet crystal dragon spines on its back indicate it's seventy thousand years old. That's the one."
"In that case, let's lure it out first. The lava lake area isn't suitable for combat, and it's too hot. We won't be able to last long at all." Xiao Ze felt the temperature in this vicinity was already over a hundred degrees Celsius. If it weren't for the spirit power shield blocking it, Xiao Ze himself would be cooked.
"No problem, I'll go attract it," Liu Erlong said.
"Forget it. There are so many Spirit Beasts there; it'll be very troublesome for you to get out. Leave it to me."
"What will you do?"
Xiao Ze didn't reply, but instead summoned Sui Hua.
"Master."
"Hiss… your summoned beast actually has consciousness and can speak?" Liu Erlong looked shocked.
"Too much talk," Xiao Ze pouted.
Liu Erlong wanted to get angry, but she held back. After all, he was helping her.
"Sui Hua, summon an illusion to attract that Scarlet Flame Dragon Lizard. It's best not to attract other Spirit Beasts."
"Understood." Sui Hua nodded, and then 8 illusions appeared.
Sui Hua's body was very small. In front of these Spirit Beasts, it was practically in their blind spot; if one didn't look carefully, one wouldn't even see it.
However, under Sui Hua's control, the 8 illusions cautiously came behind an obsidian rock.
By the lava lake not far away, the Scarlet Flame Dragon Lizard was there.
One of Sui Hua's illusions slowly walked over, and the rice ear in its hand directly whipped its butt.
Sui Hua's illusion only had thirty percent of its main body's strength, but its power was still considerable, after all, it was legendary.
"Roar—"
Feeling the pain, the Scarlet Flame Dragon Lizard suddenly turned its head, but it was bewildered; there was no beast behind it.
But the next moment, the rice ear whipped its face again.
This time, it lowered its head and saw a strange Spirit Beast. The Scarlet Flame Dragon Lizard was extremely angry. Such a small fellow actually came to annoy it.
The Scarlet Flame Dragon Lizard directly breathed a mouthful of flames and burned it.
It looked arrogant and was about to turn around when it was whipped again.
"Roar!!!" The Scarlet Flame Dragon Lizard was truly angry. That little fellow just now was one thing, but now another one came. Did they really think it was just a lizard? It was a lizard with the bloodline of a fire dragon!
"???" When it heard the sound below, its head was full of question marks.
"Roar (It's you again! Weren't you dead just now?)"
The illusion couldn't speak and completely ignored it.
Seeing the Scarlet Flame Dragon Lizard look over, Sui Hua immediately controlled the illusion to rush out of the lava lake.
"Roar!!" The Scarlet Flame Dragon Lizard charged straight after it.
Did they really think it was made of lava? It was very fierce.
The other illusions also immediately acted, coming from all directions around the Scarlet Flame Dragon Lizard.
Its head was now somewhat shrunken.
It wasn't very smart to begin with, and now it was even more dumbfounded.
"Roar—"
The Scarlet Flame Dragon Lizard, in a fit of rage, used the simplest method, directly sweeping out a mouthful of flames, eliminating several of them.
Then it charged towards the last three.
"Xiao Ze, Xiao Ze, keep it up, we're already out of the lava lake area." Liu Erlong patted Xiao Ze's shoulder.
"Don't use your hands, you're so strong." Xiao Ze rubbed his shoulder.
"Understood."
"Let's go, we'll slowly lure it to a slightly emptier place. The nearby Spirit Beasts have also been scared away by the Scarlet Flame Dragon Lizard, which is perfect."
"Hmm… I think that place looks good. There are also a few big trees there that can help control it." Liu Erlong looked at a spot about five hundred meters away.
"Good, Sui Hua, keep it up."
"Mhm." Sui Hua nodded. For it, this was actually not difficult at all.
If it were to fight the Scarlet Flame Dragon Lizard, Sui Hua, even with super evolution, would not be its opponent, but to attract it was too simple.
Not all Spirit Beasts had good brains.
Under the attraction of Sui Hua's illusions, the Scarlet Flame Dragon Lizard had already moved about two to three kilometers away from the lava lake, with three hundred meters remaining until the battle area.
"Liu Erlong, it's up to you now."
"Understood."
Liu Erlong was immediately possessed by the Fire Dragon, and raging flames ignited around her. Her flames were extremely violent, even making her long hair dance wildly, and a fierce aura appeared in her eyes.
