Chapter 984 - Rising And Falling Excitement (1/2)

While King Hong was observing the figure that had appeared to him as an illusion, Lin Mu was having a similar experience.

But in his case, instead of seeing it in front of him, he saw it in his mind. There, two figures were currently present. The first was none other than the Great Slumber Bear that seemed to be irritated upon being woken up and the second one was the illusory figure of the beast King Hong was seeing.

The two figures gazed at each other with wary eyes and their auras clashed.

”So this is a drake…” Lin Mu muttered as he observed the two beasts' bloodlines.

~flicker~

But just as Lin Mu was observing the drake's figure, it started to get blurry. Then in the next second, it faded away and its aura disappeared as well. Like a lamp that had run out of oil, its flame died out and the figure disappeared like it never existed.

The Great Slumber Bear closed its eyes and disappeared soon after that too, prompting Lin Mu to open his eyes in the real world.

~huu~

Lin Mu took a deep breath, remembering the scene from just before.

”So what do you think, senior?” Lin Mu questioned.

”There's no doubt that is a Flame Pool Drake.” Xukong answered.

”A Flame Pool Drake, huh…” Lin Mu repeated, and tried to see if he could find any records about it.

”You probably won't find it that way. The Flame Pool Drake's are relatively rare among the Lesser drakes. But what you might be able to find information on is a flame Salamander.” Xukong interrupted.

”Oh yeah, I think I know about them.” Lin Mu said, recalling some information about Flame Salamanders.

They were beasts that were found even in the Xiaofan world. They chiefly lived in hot areas such as deserts, volcanoes, mines and even hot springs. They were beasts that had a varying cultivation base, ranging all the way from Qi refining realm, to the Dao Treading realm.

Though of course, there had been no recent records about a Dao Treading realm Flame Salamander existing in the current times. Though Lin Mu did end up finding information about the Lava fields of the Western Continent.

They were basically a group of volcanoes that had been destroyed a long time ago and had turned into a somewhat flat ground. Instead of a normal cone shaped volcano, they were more like flat lands filled with lava lakes all around.

This was an area that was fatal to most commoners and even cultivators. Only those which high cultivation bases or other specialized methods could go there. The region was a treasure trove of many cultivation resources, along with the different beasts that resided in that area.

Of course, this was all a long time ago before the collapse of the Western continent.

The Flame salamanders were common beasts that made the lava fields their habitat. Their population used to be rather high and they were considered to be a common beast. But after the collapsed of the Western continent, a majority of their population was wiped out and now only a few were left on the Great Zhou Empire.
