Dragon Tamer

Chapter 468: Chapter 470: Trembling Metal Sword Bolls

The traces of the Earth Vein fire were not as horrifying as one might imagine, especially when reaching the Earth Vein Fire Pistil. Looking at the red radiance blossoming from the flowing active liquid, there was even a sense of peaceful sanctity.

“Go on, you go play with that Malevolent Water Dragon. I’ll look around here,” Zhu Minglang said to the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon.

The Heavenly Slaughter Dragon naturally had no interest in the fiery red liquid. Elemental fire had nothing to do with it. No matter how extraordinary or mystical, the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon couldn’t be less interested. When it came to the color red, all it cared about was blood!

The Heavenly Slaughter Dragon wasn’t too resentful this time; after all, Zhu Minglang had indeed found it a delectable treat.

Having dropped Zhu Minglang below the traces of the Earth Vein, the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon, cloaked in its Dark Feathers, dived into the profound darkness. Its nature as a Mourning Dragon was perfectly displayed at this moment, as a natural-born Slayer, it had an acute sensitivity to the scent of living creatures!

Zhu Minglang himself entered the area of the Earth Vein Fire Pistil and saw that the fire liquid today was even more serene than last time, resembling bright red ink, looking exceedingly peaceful.

The container for collecting Earth Vein Fire was custom-made.

For this reason, Zhu Minglang had specifically asked Zhu Huo to prepare an adequate amount for him.

Although collecting the fire liquid bottle by bottle was somewhat tedious, it was still better than having thieves covet one’s secret treasure. Only by keeping it to himself could Zhu Minglang feel completely secure.

…

Following the example of Uncle Wangxing and several elders, Zhu Minglang also made a respectful bow.

He began to collect the fire liquid. The net bottles were very small, and Zhu Minglang was patient. After all, this was very different from drawing well water; well water was nothing but well water, but this fire liquid was worth a fortune, especially when Zhu Minglang used it as explosive grenade in the tea garden—the effects were simply too marvelous!

After collecting about ten bottles, Zhu Minglang noticed that the Serene Fire Liquid had started to become somewhat restless.

The red liquid seeped out from the extremely solid Earth Veins like a mountain spring. The surface part of the fire liquid was indeed quite placid and gentle. For Zhu Minglang, taking it was no different from drawing water. However, as this layer of Serene Fire Liquid was collected, the deeper layers of lava were not as friendly.

Just a slightly heavier breath from Zhu Minglang was enough to see a terrifying layer of blazing fire appear on the liquid’s surface, with extremely high temperatures that could instantly burn skin upon contact!

“It seems that there’s a limit to the fire that can be collected. The more serene fire liquid will float on the surface, covering the entire underground fire vein, effectively suppressing the deeper, more volatile fire liquid,” Zhu Minglang observed the special Earth Vein Fire Pistil carefully.

Zhu Minglang estimated that he could collect about thirty bottles of Earth Vein Lava at most. To collect the deeper layers of the Earth Vein Lava, more exquisite techniques would likely be needed. The slightest mistake could turn the entire Earth Vein Fire Pistil into a terrifying sea of fire!

His movements became even more cautious, and Zhu Minglang collected about ten more bottles…

Sealed tightly and perfectly insulated, these twenty precious bottles of Earth Vein Lava were neatly packed by Zhu Minglang.

After waiting for a while, Zhu Minglang began to collect the remaining Serene Fire Liquid.

But just then, a floating piece of black crystal floated into the Earth Vein Fire Pistil amidst the flowing fire liquid.

It was merely a piece of crystal stone that had lost its gravity, but it was like a spark falling into a barrel of oil. The entire Earth Vein Fire Pistil erupted with terrifying energy. Zhu Minglang watched as the peaceful fire pistil transformed into an agitated essence, like a horde of ancient fire beasts, fiercely pouncing around with a tremendous shocking force that seemed capable of instantly reducing thousands of lives to ashes.

Zhu Minglang was fortunately prepared, and Zhu Huo had also warned him to be vigilant for foreign objects falling into the fire pistil while collecting…

Zhu Minglang immediately retreated and hid in the crevices of the Earth Vein traces.

The visceral sensation of the Fire Phoenix’s presence is overwhelming; the wild, extreme flames nearly filled every trace of the Earth Vein Fire, and if one were above the sea, they might even glimpse a colossal Fire Lotus reflected at the bottom of the vast, dark ocean. The scene was immensely magnificent, yet it brimmed with danger!!

At such times, all one can do is wait quietly for the wave of restlessness to pass.

The restless Fire Liquid is the most likely to detonate, and after incinerating all of it, more Serene Fire Liquid will seep from the cracks in the Earth Veins.

Fire refines fire.

The Serene Fire Liquid is not serene because it lacks energy; in fact, it is the essence of the entire Earth Vein Fire Pistil, formed amidst the sweeping unrest of the Restless Fire Liquid, like grains of gold and silver amidst silt.

Fortunately, this wave of Fire Pistil restlessness was not too strong and quieted down after a short time.

Zhu Minglang stepped out once again to find himself in a terrifying domain of red flames. The Earth Vein rock layer was burnt crimson, and its surface was tempered into Stone Crystals by the fiery heat.

Approaching the Earth Vein Fire Pistil, Zhu Minglang saw even more Serene Fire Liquid appearing on the surface.

It seems that the Serene Fire Liquid is also slowly extracted.

Zhu Minglang saw the flowing red magma churning and also perceived the many tranquil and peaceful Fire Liquids hidden beneath the dangerous, restless layer of fire.

They were like springs in a muddy pond, easy to distinguish, but as the furious flow of fire pressed down upon them, they could only accidentally seep to the surface and float at the top whenever the Fire Pistil became agitated.

Zhu Minglang felt a surge of joy in his heart.

It turned out there was even more Serene Fire Liquid in the deep layer, like a pond full of pearls covered by silt!

However, Zhu Minglang soon felt disheartened again. How could he deal with the restless flow of fire? He couldn’t move objects through the air; even if a tiny Crystal Stone were to touch them, it would provoke a great conflagration. It was like a formidable barrier had been placed upon the Serene Fire Liquid, utterly unbridgeable.

“Uncle Wangxing probably couldn’t solve this problem either, hence we only harvest the Serene Fire Liquid that seeps to the surface. Though the yield is low, it’s still a long-lasting source,” Zhu Minglang said, shaking his head helplessly.

There was simply no way to collect the Fire Liquid from the lower layer; even the Dragon King with fire attributes wouldn’t dare to provoke those restless flows of fire.

“Buzz~~~~~~~”

Just then, a familiar sound resonated within the Spirit Realm.

Zhu Minglang was puzzled; the humming should only occur when the Sword Spirit Dragon was present, with its sword body containing countless discarded Ancient Swords, which occasionally expressed their indomitable spirits with the quivering hum of Sword Tremors.

Wasn’t the Sword Spirit Dragon still inside that massive Metal Sword Boll?

Zhu Minglang checked the Spirit Realm and saw that similarly tranquil and serene Metal Sword Boll…

“Buzz!!!!!!!”

Another vibration ensued, and the Metal Sword Boll seemed like a gigantic metal egg, within which life was gestating and expressing something.
