The Nine Cauldrons

Book 3 Chapter 68 The Eruption of the Red Scaled Beast

“That old man is actually reputable in our Xuyang County.” A fellow on the side said, “He is Wang Yun! He’s an expert from our Fanwu City and has some power and influence. However……He is only one of the top in our Fanwu City, but up until now, he had unexpectedly hid his strength. He is so powerful that he could even fight on par with experts of the 《Earth Ranking》!”

“Only one of the top within Fanwu City? However, he is on equal terms in ability as Commander Ji Hong and the elder Qi Yan from Qingzhou. This could be regarded as being close to those of the 《Earth Ranking》.”

Hearing this, the other warriors could only lament in amazement.

A warrior who couldn’t even be considered as the strongest in a small town, his strength could be easily guessed. Logically, he could only be a First Rated Warrior at most.

“He hid his strength remarkably well!”

Many people secretly memorized the name ‘Wang Yun’; henceforth, his name would quickly spread throughout the land.

The two Black and White elders fought together to deal with Teng Qingshan. Ji Hong, the silver haired old man ‘Wang Yun’, as well as that cold woman “Qi Yan” continued to fight each other.

……

Everyone present didn’t take note at the magma lake.

Blub~~

Occasionally, bubbles would emerge and disperse hot air, a very common occurrence. At the depths of the magma lake, a huge entity was lurking at bottom. The lava’s slow stream and frightening heat didn’t affect this colossus at all.

With the height of two Zhang, its body was five Zhang long with a fearful two Zhang-long tail.

The Red Scaled Beast!

The Red Scaled Beast was a monster with a fire affinity, so its body boiled with the power of flames! Once it swallowed the “Red Fire Spirit Fruit”, it would transform once more. When the time came, it could spit flames out of his mouth, and their temperature would be more fearful than this magma. It could easily melt iron and gold; even innate masters would fear this kind of opponent.

The Red Scaled Beast regarded this blazing environment, full of magma, as its favourite environment.

Being born and living in this blazing environment since its birth, this sort of burning was like taking a warm bath. The heat didn’t affect it at all.

It could even open its eyes at the bottom of the lava flow!

The transparent membrane covering its pupils could easily withstand such high temperatures.

Human eyes weren’t comparable to its own eyes. Not only could its eyes adapt to the high temperatures, they could also see in the dark as if it were daytime.

It kept lurking!

As a magical beast, its hearing was also fearfully strong, allowing it to clearly hear the impact noises made by the warriors’ weapons. Based on the sounds, it could also distinguish everyone’s position.

……

Nobody knew that the Red Scaled Beast was lurking at the bottom of the magma lake. Teng Qingshan and the others were still trying to kill each other.

“This Teng Qingshan’s spear art is truly formidable. Even with working with Old White, we don’t have a way to deal with him.” The Black and White elders made eye contact. They couldn’t conceal their shock from each other even though they were placed 69th and 70th on the 《Earth Ranking》 respectively.

They were at the end of their wits.

After all, both of them were experts of the 《Earth Ranking》 fighting in a confined space.

“My identity can’t be exposed!” The silver-haired old man ‘Wang Yun’ avoided a slash from Qi Yan. “I have spent almost an entire year’s worth of effort training in the habits of ‘Wang Yun’.” He had completely replaced his identity and livelihood! “Once my identity as ‘Wang Yun ‘ is exposed, Wei Wuya will definitely try to kill me when the time comes! I can only play with this group of kids for a little longer.”

Wang Yun handled the long saber with large swing full of power.

Just when the six masters fought each other——

“Bang!” The quiet lava, that had been steadily flowing, suddenly exploded with ferocity!

The magma continually scattered everywhere as the experts next the lava lake shouted in alarm while trying to avoid being burned. A small amount of magma splashed onto them and instantly ignited their clothes as well as burned their skins. The pitiful warriors screamed from pain.

“Ahhh!” “Chi—“

The smell of burnt meat quickly filled the air; however they were fortunate and only received some minor wounds.

The six people on the black boulder were in a crisis!

“What’s going on?!” The six were extremely surprised.
