Chapter 364 – Fire Dragon, Ghost Phoenix (2/2)
”Throw the grass in, or we'll shove it in your mouth and throw you in.” Seeing Fatty’s unwillingness, the two demons immediately turned ferocious.
”Fine, I'll go.” Fatty felt choked with pent-up rage.
The area of underground magma was endlessly vast, and the place occupied by Emperor Occult Flame was already the size of several Black Tortoise Cities. The rest was occupied by high-ranked Demonic beasts.
The nest of the Fire Dragon was a cave next to the magma river. From a distance, a big fiery head could be seen from the side and lay prone in the magma, sleeping comfortably.
”Go quickly.” Afraid of being discovered by the Fire Dragon, the two demons abandoned Fatty when they were several thousand meters away from the beast.
Fatty mumbled something in discontent. If he wanted to run, these two wouldn’t be able to stop him. After all, the extremely particular Elemental Movement Arts couldn’t be stopped by even normal space imprisonment. However, it was the so-called ‘bigger wealth from bigger risks’ again. They were using him, but it was also the other way around.
Knowing that Stealth was useless in front of a powerful Demonic Yao like this dragon, Fatty simply swaggered towards it. When he was still a few hundred meters away, the dragon suddenly let out a long roar, and the eyes a little above to the magma slowly opened.
”Hello, Brother Fire Dragon, I have something to discuss with you.” Fatty rushed over and greeted. At the same time, he summoned the Violent Ox King and had it stand in front of himself.
Bang! A scorching hot fireball vaporized the Violent Ox King on the spot, leaving not even a hair.
Inwardly shivering in his heart, Fatty looked at the Fire Dragon who wanted to attack again and cried out, ”Do you want to kill Emperor Occult Flame?”
Whoo! A gust of wind kicked up and rolled around Fatty, flying him into a nearby cave.
”Kid, can you help me kill that bastard Occult Flame?” said the dragon in a vibrating voice as it looked at Fatty, who was even smaller than its claws. As expected of a high-ranked Demonic Yao, it could speak.
Fatty didn’t hesitate to narrate how those two demons had forced him to come here, and then took out the fiery red grass.
”Dragon-Burnt Grass, the damnable things born especially to hurt us dragons. How dare those bastards use this against me?” the Fire Dragon roaring repeatedly, its fury turning into flames that flared out of its nostrils, making Fatty feel like he had fallen into magma, as his whole body heated and became uncomfortable.
Quickly casting several water spells to cool himself, Fatty said, ”There is a good chance now. Do you want to try?”
”What chance?” The dragon stopped roaring and stared at Fatty.
”Emperor Occult Flame is seriously injured now, if you take this opportunity to kill him…” Fatty didn't spell out the rest.
”That’s right.” The dragon nodded. ”Since he needs Ghost Phoenix Blood, Profound Yin Ice Bead, Dark Water and my nucleus as materials, he must be affected by the Eternal Frozen Spell of the Frost War God. Although Emperor Occult Flame isn’t frozen, his power is limited by half. If I take advantage of this… Heh.”
”That’s right, if we take advantage of this, taking him down will be as easy as flipping your hand,” Fatty chimed.
”You, little ant, are quite clever, knowing you can’t provoke me and confessing everything. Very well, since Emperor Occult Flame dares set his eyes on me, then he can’t blame me for being discourteous. Didn't he want the Ghost Phoenix Blood? I'll call Ghost Phoenix as well,” the dragon said with a cold snort.
The Fire Dragon flew out and killed the two demons in a few skills. Fatty clicked his tongue. No wonder those two didn’t dare to provoke the dragon.
Bringing Fatty, the dragon flew to a certain area. Magma still gurgled out in flows and the place was full of flames, but for some reason, Fatty felt a chill that seeped into his body.
Gradually, the Fire Dragon took Fatty to the source of the magma, where there was a huge tree, black from top to bottom, hundreds of meters wide. Its crown was like a sky-blotting umbrella with countless branches.
There was a huge nest built of various rare materials resting in the tree crown. A large black bird with black flames all over nestled peacefully inside, asleep with its eyes half-closed.
This was the lair of the Ghost Phoenix, someone a low-rank Divine beast like the Fire Dragon couldn’t compare. It was said that this Ghost Phoenix, born of Ghost Fire, was one of the most ancient species in the Demon world, and its strength was second only to Legendary experts.
Carefully flying to a spot several hundred meters away from the nest, the Fire Dragon shouted, ”Is Lord Ghost Phoenix home?”
Lazily leaned out its head from the nest, the Ghost Phoenix squinted its eyes at the dragon. ”So it’s a little dragon. What? You know I have a bad appetite today and especially came to improve my food? Speaking of which, the taste of dragon meat isn’t bad.”
”Lord Ghost Phoenix must be joking.” The Fire Dragon shrank its neck and retracted all the flames on its body, obviously very scared of the Ghost Phoenix.
”Then what are you doing here?” the Ghost Phoenix asked.
”Lord Ghost Phoenix, please help me exact justice.” With a sad face overflowed with snot and tears, the Fire Dragon seasoned Fatty’s story as it narrated it to the Ghost Phoenix.
”So it’s that fellow Occult Flame. Why, even though he is injured, you still don’t even dare to fight him and still come to me?” The Ghost Phoenix’s eyes flashed with mockery.
