174: Divine necklace?

“Lava Giant Dragon?”

Zhang Fan was surprised: “Teacher Jiang, are you talking about the Lava Giant Dragon that occupies the Fenhe Street Volcanic Group?”

Dragon-type Monster!

It is an extremely important class in the Earth Titan Beast family!

The combat power of this type of Monster is generally extremely high, and their level is also extremely high!

Dragon-type Monsters are further divided into three major systems: Eastern Divine Dragon System, Western Giant Dragon System, and Prehistoric Dinosaur System!

The Lava Giant Dragon, belonging to the Western Giant Dragon System, its specific evolutionary origin from which animal is no longer traceable!

But the Lava Giant Dragon is very terrifying, a true King of Monsters.

It is entrenched in the Fenhe Street Volcanic Group at the border of Shaanxi and Shanxi.

Over the years, countless Titan Warriors have lost their lives to the Lava Giant Dragon, yet it remains invincible!

What Zhang Fan didn't expect was that Teacher Jiang's former teammates had also died under the sharp claws of the Lava Giant Dragon!

“It is!”

Jiang Shengnan nodded heavily, a deep-seated hatred flashing in her eyes:

“My teammates and I discovered a Heaven and Earth Treasure—longyang fruit—in the magma lake of a dormant volcano!”

“When we entered the volcano to pick it, we were attacked by that Lava Giant Dragon!”

“All six teammates died; if I hadn't used my Mist Lord Domain to teleport away, I wouldn't be alive today!”

Tears shimmered in Jiang Shengnan's eyes, and she gritted her teeth, saying:

“For the past two years, I’ve constantly thought about avenging my teammates!”

“Unfortunately, my strength is too low; I’m no match for the Lava Giant Dragon!”

Jiang Shengnan looked at Zhang Fan, with a hint of pleading and anticipation in her eyes: “Zhang Fan, I hope you can help me!”

Jiang Shengnan knew Zhang Fan’s true combat power very well; he had even killed Ge Chun, who was in the Nascent Soul Realm, so killing the Lava Giant Dragon shouldn’t be a big problem!

“I will! I will definitely help!”

Zhang Fan agreed: “Teacher Jiang, I can depart at any time!”

After getting to know Teacher Jiang, she had helped Zhang Fan a lot.

She taught him cultivation, accompanied him in the Wilderness Area, saved his life, and even helped Zhang Fan sell Monster corpses…

She had helped so much, yet she had never made any demands!

Since Teacher Jiang finally made a request, how could Zhang Fan refuse?

Moreover.

It had been two months since he returned from BJ, and Zhang Fan had been cultivating in the second layer of the Fuxi Shrine under 100 times time acceleration, which amounted to over 6 years!

Having not left home for over 6 years, Zhang Fan indeed wanted to go out for some fresh air and kill a few Monsters to stretch his muscles.

“Can we go tomorrow?”

Jiang Shengnan said excitedly: “Shall we depart early tomorrow morning?”

She couldn't wait another moment to kill the Lava Giant Dragon!

“No problem!”

The next morning, Zhang Fan had breakfast with Guo Mi, played with Zhang Tieniu for a while, and then left with Teacher Jiang.

This time, only the two of them left!

Zhang Fan had asked Hua Xia and Guo Mi if they wanted to come along for fun.

Both of them refused.

Hua Xia was over three months pregnant; although she didn’t have morning sickness, it wasn’t suitable for her to travel around, so she needed to rest and take care of her pregnancy.

At this stage, the fetus was still unstable, and miscarriage was a risk.

Guo Mi couldn't go because she needed to cultivate; she was currently working very hard, hoping to break through to the Golden Core stage soon and keep up with Zhang Fan's pace.

So this time, only Zhang Fan and Jiang Shengnan went.

The Fenhe Street Volcanic Group is one of the largest volcanic groups in the country, composed of dozens of active volcanoes, which were once dormant volcanoes!

It wasn't until 30 years ago, when the Lava Giant Dragon occupied this area, that this dormant volcanic group reignited and became active volcanoes again.

Four hours later, Zhang Fan and Jiang Shengnan arrived in the area.

From a distance, they could see volcanoes spewing black smoke like chimneys, shrouding even the sky.

Before they even got close, they could smell a pungent sulfurous odor.

“A Lava Giant Dragon in the Nascent Soul Realm can actually reignite this dormant volcanic group that has been silent for many years!”

Zhang Fan exclaimed: “I really don’t understand how the Lava Giant Dragon did it?”

“I don’t know!”

Jiang Shengnan shook her head.

A King of Monsters is at the same level as a human Nascent Soul Realm cultivator!

Although incredibly powerful, changing the landscape, rerouting rivers, or reigniting dormant volcanoes is still a bit beyond their capabilities!

Even a Monster Emperor at the Yang God Realm couldn't do it!

Therefore, the reignition of this volcanic group was somewhat suspicious!

Jiang Shengnan drove the flying car through the volcanoes spewing black smoke, finally stopping in front of a funnel-shaped active volcano.

This active volcano was like a chimney, continuously spewing black smoke, and its slopes were covered in volcanic ash.

“This is the volcano!”

Jiang Shengnan stared at the volcano ahead, her emotions becoming very agitated.

“Teacher Jiang, the dead cannot be brought back to life; you must control your grief!”

Zhang Fan comforted her gently: “Don’t worry, I will definitely help you slay that beast today and avenge your teammates!”

Jiang Shengnan wiped her tears with her sleeve, her eyes red: “Thank you!”

The car landed at the crater, Jiang Shengnan put it away, and then she and Zhang Fan went to the crater.

Standing there and looking down, the bottom was full of strange rocks, the space was vast, and black smoke continuously rose from the ground.

“Let’s go down!”

Zhang Fan leaped down into the crater, and Jiang Shengnan followed suit.

The two flew downwards against the black smoke; after an unknown duration of descent, a huge magma lake appeared below.

The boiling magma bubbled, emitting scorching hot temperatures.

The surrounding rock walls were illuminated crimson by the glowing red magma.

The huge crater was like an oven, with incredibly high temperatures!

An ordinary person coming to this place wouldn't last long before being roasted alive, but Zhang Fan could completely tolerate it.

“Zhang Fan, look over there!”

Jiang Shengnan's face was flushed red, and a thin layer of sweat seeped from her forehead, adding a captivating charm to her already delicate features.

But at this moment, she was excitedly looking in one direction.

Zhang Fan followed her gaze and saw a protruding rock in the center of the magma lake.

It was three or four meters above the magma lake, about half the size of a basketball court.

And in the center of the rock, a small tree, two or three meters tall, was growing.

This small tree was entirely crimson, with leaves shaped like strange sawteeth.

And beneath its branches, hung a dozen or so fruits resembling persimmons, emitting an enticing aroma.

“longyang fruit?”

Zhang Fan exclaimed softly.

“It’s a longyang fruit tree!”

Jiang Shengnan's eyes were deep: “It is said that longyang fruit trees only grow in high-temperature and dry places like volcanoes!”

“And longyang fruit has the effect of purifying bloodlines and strengthening Talent Divine Power, especially for Titan Warriors who have awakened Dragon-type Transformation; the effect is best when consumed!”

“Which means!”

Zhang Fan’s eyes were somewhat fervent: “This longyang fruit is effective for you, for me, for Da Mimi, and for Hua Xia?”

Teacher Jiang, Black Dragon Transformation!

Zhang Fan, Yinglong Transformation!

Guo Mi, Golden Dragon Transformation!

Hua Xia, Azure Dragon Transformation!

Without exception!

All of them are Dragon-type Transformations!

“Yes!”

Jiang Shengnan nodded heavily.

“Then let’s pick them!”

Zhang Fan licked his lips: “Teacher Jiang, stay far away from here, lest you get attacked by the Lava Giant Dragon later!”

“I understand!”

Jiang Shengnan reminded: “Zhang Fan, you also need to be careful!”

Jiang Shengnan knew that her strength was low, and staying would only be a burden!

So she wasn't pretentious; after cautioning Zhang Fan, she immediately flew upwards, stopping only after flying a hundred meters away.

Zhang Fan took a deep breath, looked around, saw no trace of the Lava Giant Dragon, and instantly split into more than a dozen Shadow Clones.

Zhang Fan took out a storage bottle and threw it to a Shadow Clone: “You go!”

Zhang Fan was not afraid of the Lava Giant Dragon, but caution was always wise.

Being careful was always the right approach!

The Shadow Clones nodded, took the storage bottle, and teleported in front of the longyang fruit tree.

Then each of them picked a longyang fruit and was about to pluck it.

“Gurgle! Gurgle!”

At this moment, the boiling magma lake suddenly began to shake.

A huge head slowly emerged from the magma lake, and scalding magma slid down its cheeks, splashing onto the surface of the magma lake, creating ripples.

This was a huge head with goat horns, covered in crimson scales.

Its two eyes, like two lanterns, stared coldly at the dozen or so Shadow Clones.

As it continued to emerge, the full form of this beast gradually appeared.

It resembled a cougar, but with two huge bat wings on its back.

Its entire body was covered in crimson scales, and it had four sharp dragon claws beneath its belly.

Its mouth was full of file-like fangs, chilling and cold.

“King of Monsters!”

“Lava Giant Dragon!”

Zhang Fan stared intently at the opponent, his entire body's blood beginning to boil.

“Wait!”

“What is that?”

Zhang Fan suddenly noticed a necklace hanging around the Lava Giant Dragon’s neck, a string of a dozen or so gems.

Each gem shimmered with brilliant colors, emitting distinctly different lusters.

“This aura…”

Zhang Fan was somewhat bewildered: “Why does it feel so much like the aura of a divinity?”

“Could it be?”

“No way?”

“Impossible!”

“Absolutely impossible!”

Zhang Fan was severely shocked by his own conjecture, but then suddenly felt it was absurd; how rare are divinities?

There were more than a dozen gems on this necklace; how could they be divinities?

This is impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

Zhang Fan vehemently denied his own guess, but his gaze was fixed on the necklace around the Lava Giant Dragon's neck.

Despite finding it absurd, his intuition told Zhang Fan…

It was very likely true!

On the other side.

The Lava Giant Dragon seemed not to notice Zhang Fan, but instead kept staring at the Shadow Clones, emitting a low growl.

As if warning the Shadow Clones to stay away from the longyang fruit tree!

The Shadow Clones ignored it.

Each grabbed a longyang fruit and plucked it off immediately.

“Roar!”

Seeing the painstakingly guarded longyang fruit snatched away, the Lava Giant Dragon became enraged.

It opened its mouth and let out a rolling dragon's roar, like thunder exploding, shaking the surrounding mountain walls and causing rocks to tumble.

The next second, the Lava Giant Dragon opened its mouth and spewed out a stream of boiling dragon breath, shooting towards the Shadow Clones.

The dragon breath was crimson, emitting a scorching hot aura, its temperature seemingly even hotter than boiling magma.

Seeing this, the Shadow Clones successively activated their teleportation abilities, disappearing from the rock.

The crimson dragon breath missed its target, spraying directly onto the longyang fruit tree.

Miraculously, the magma slid directly off the longyang fruit tree without causing any damage to it!

“Whoosh!”

The Shadow Clones appeared in the blind spot behind the Lava Giant Dragon, then placed the picked longyang fruit into the storage bottle.

“Roar—”

The Lava Giant Dragon suddenly turned around, its tail slamming into the magma lake.

“Splash!”
