1263 Hunt 1 (1/2)
The red Dragonfire Spell crashed against the bottom half of the Giant Iguana's tail violently. The surrounding icy snow-covered ground melted while water vapor rose and turned into shrouds of white mist that diffused everywhere.
Garen and Saszt stepped backward frantically before hearing a pained yell immediately. The Giant Iguana in front of them finally burst forth in a frantic struggle. It released all of its strength and rolled on the snowy ground with all of its might.
However, the Dragonfire Spell was a Level Five Spell and could not be easily extinguished. The spell stuck to the bottom half of the Giant Iguana's tail determinedly like a maggot in a skeleton. It burned endlessly before the scent of flesh could be faintly smelled in the air where it was wafting.
Garen and Saszt took a few more steps backward hurriedly.
They could gradually see that the Giant Iguana's endless struggles had slowed down more and more. Finally, there was a brief banging noise when it crashed on the ground. Its entire body was burnt black which made it somewhat impossible to see its initial state.
”Tch tch, what great power! This is truly Level Five Spellcraft!” Saszt praised. He stepped forward and shifted it slowly while trying to see its entire burnt state.
”Don't burn the Crystal Core and eyeballs.” He was slightly worried.
”The eyeballs certainly can't be used anymore,” answered Boris helplessly. ”Fortunately, it's less likely that the Crystal Core will be so easily burnt and destroyed. The Crystal Core won't be damaged so easily because it's located in the hardest part of the Demonic Beast's body.”
Garen followed him and walked over as well. He suddenly felt a large shroud of burning air currents surging towards his face in a slightly scorching manner. Luckily, the Dragonfire Spell would extinguish once the Giant Iguana had died.
He turned the Giant Iguana's corpse over gently before quickly finding the Crystal Core in the Giant Iguana's forehead that was about to be burned soon.
”Such high temperatures.” His own body temperature would maintain itself at around less than negative twenty degrees at all times. Hence, a shroud of white gas drifted out faintly when he touched the Crystal Core.
”How's the Crystal Core? Garen?” asked Leona and Boris loudly when they rushed over from behind him.
”Yes, how's the Crystal Core? Since this Giant Iguana was so fierce, I'm sure that the Crystal Core would be better.”
They walked closer towards Garen but saw that he was standing before the Giant Iguana alone and looking somewhat dazed.
”Garen?” Leona reached her claw out and shook it in front of his face.
”Uhh, I'm fine. I was just spacing out.” Garen returned to his senses. A hint of a sincere smile that came from his heart appeared on his face.
”Spacing out? You were spacing out even when you were collecting your spoils of war?” Leona could not understand him.
However, when she saw the Crystal Core, that round pale blue crystal that was already slightly blackened from the smoke in Garen's hand, her attention was immediately shifted over there.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.
”Haha, we got another one. It's actually much better than the previous one that we got in front too.”
The three Dragon Whelps gathered together and began celebrating joyfully.
After Garen had given them the Crystal Core, he walked towards the side and continued pondering on his own as if he had encountered an issue.
The issue that he had just discovered was actually an unexpected pleasant surprise.
The Crystal Core that was obtained from the Giant Iguana actually gave him a few slivers of potential aura.
It was not Soul Energy but merely potential energy that was similar to what he had experienced in the Totem World previously. The Giant Iguana's Crystal Core clearly possessed the ability to increase his potential value.
His potential value had already increased by 1% when he was absorbing it previously within a short span of time. If he had finished absorbing the Crystal Core fully and obtained another three of these Crystal Cores of the same level, he would receive an additional Attribute Point.
”This is an unexpected surprise. I initially assumed that I could only accumulate it slowly throughout a long period of time, but now I see that I can walk on another path.”
However, this was considered normal when he thought about it. After all, the laws of this world were far more entirely comprehensive in comparison to the previous worlds that he had experienced. The presence of sightings from the Totem World that appeared here were normal as well.
”The Crystal Core and eyeballs are the two most important parts of a Giant Iguana. I don't think that they would agree if I wanted to divide the Crystal Core on my own. The best method would be to go at it alone.” An idea formed in Garen's mind. He was uncertain of his own position now. However, Level Four Giant Iguanas would probably not be an issue.
In the Fiery Blaze Mountain Range, Level Four Giant Iguanas were simply as abundant as ants in an anthill. There were everywhere and as long as you did not go to the densest areas, you would usually not encounter Level Five Giant Iguanas or even Level Six Elder Giant Iguanas.
Once the group of Dragon Whelps had kept their belongings, they continued on their journey and found another Level Four Giant Iguana. They used the same attack method and killed another one easily.
Since Boris's Dragonfire Spell was the only one that could quickly injure and kill Giant Iguanas while Leona's Enchantment was not the killing or wounding type but the healing kind instead, the group was forced to stop here temporarily. As the Dragonfire Spell could only be used three times a day, they decided to leave the last use in case they needed to defend themselves at any time.
Fiery Blaze Mountain Range was a long continuous mountain range that resembled a centipede. They were currently at the ”tail” part of the ”centipede”. If they walked forward, they would easily encounter many more Giant Iguanas. The Giant Ice Iguanas that could be seriously handled by the White Dragon Clan's hunting formations were naturally not lacking in strength. The lowest leveled Giant Iguanas were Level Four at least. It was rumored that there were also beings that possessed higher intelligence among the Elder Giant Iguanas. The powers of these existences were unknown but their higher intelligence levels meant that they could find various other practice methods to improve themselves.
Once the group of Dragon Whelps had finished their work, they began looking for a place where to could set up camp and hide.
They had already entered the deeper part of the mountain range to hunt. As they would probably require a longer period of time if they were to leave and go outside again now, it was better for them to find a good cave to rest temporarily. In order to complete their quest this time, each Dragon Whelp needed to hunt five Level Four Giant Iguanas and obtain either their Crystal Cores or eyeballs. They could also acquire the Crystal Cores of two Level Five Giant Iguanas instead.
Since they had currently obtained the Crystal Cores of three Level Four Giant Iguanas upon entering this area, they had already completed the quest of one Dragon Whelp.
Moreover, they were fortunate to not have encountered the disturbances of any other Giant Iguanas when they were hunting.
They found a random place in a corner before the four Dragon Whelps dug a hole and burrowed inside it quickly. Next, they sealed the cave to prevent their auras from leaking out and attracting other high leveled Giant Iguanas. It was important to note that if they were hunting Giant Iguanas, the Giant Iguanas themselves would hunt them as well if they encountered them.
Inside the hole, Garen sat in one place alone while quietly eating the Giant Iguana's flesh that was roasted and cooked-through. This was a better piece of breast meat that they had randomly sliced off earlier. They had kept it as food supplies.
”This location is not bad. It's more secluded because it's at the bottom of a snowy cliff. Moreover, this place can be our temporary base because it's below a wind gap.” Boris was relatively more experienced than the others.
The Dragon Whelps' mutual body temperatures caused the temperature of the entire cave to stabilize at around negative twenty degrees.
Leona stood on one side and continuously flipped the Crystal Core and eyeballs that they had obtained in her hand while not worrying that they were dirty. Instead, there was a greedy look on her face.
