Chapter 171 Monsters Beneath the Magma

Alphonse saw it clearly.

It was a monster with a strange appearance.

Its body is covered with layers of carapace, it has a pointed mouth, and bony spikes like fish fins on its head that extend from its head down its spine.

There are also two small fins behind the mouth, seemingly covering something.

The eyes were covered by a yellowish membrane, making it impossible to see the pupils.

Most of its body was dark, with the area below the neck and on its chest and abdomen being a bit darker.

It has forelimbs that are not very thick and are somewhat short compared to its body.

It looks somewhat deformed, but you can clearly see that its claws are webbed.

It resembles a lizard, but ordinary lizards don't have such a thick shell.

We can only use "fire lizard" as a substitute.

It is still quite far from the shore.

As Alphonse stood at the entrance of the passage, deep in thought, the fire lizard slithered down again, disappearing into the scorching hot lava.

Alphonse immediately turned back.

No other reason than it's too hot!

It was too uncomfortable to be wrapped in fur.

Once you're away from the entrance, there's no more heat wave hitting you.

Alphonse quickly removed the furs that were wrapped around his body.

After fighting all the way, this fur has been modified. It is no longer just tied with a knot, but is made of thin strips cut from the hide of the magical beast, with holes punched in the fur of the magical ape, and then tied together.

In that environment full of lava, the fur would be of no use.

But we still have to keep it; it might come in handy later.

The lava lake and the underground cave below were like two distinct worlds; the monsters below would not come to the edge of the lava lake.

The monsters on this side of the lava lake have no intention of going down there.

Alphonse picked up his gallbladder and drank a mouthful of cold spring water.

The spring water had become slightly warmer, but it was still quite chilly.

It was served in the gallbladder of a giant python, which added a touch of bitterness.

The feeling of the cold spring water sliding down my throat is incredibly refreshing.

He stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, which relieved the dryness in his mouth.

We should drink it sparingly, as the cold spring is too far away and it's inconvenient to get water from it.

Alphonse's "Sword of Deflection" can be imbued with water elements to form ice crystals.

However, in the extremely cold underground cave, the ice crystals would not melt at all, which is because they were not used as a water source.

Since we're already here, why not kill one and see what it's like to live among monsters at the bottom of a lava lake?

Alphonse really didn't want to eat the fishy and smelly monster meat in the cave.

There were still quite a few bee pupae left by Alphonse at the giant bee's nest.

After thinking it over, Alphonse made up his mind.

kill!

Who cares, let's kill one and see what it tastes like!

At worst, they would retreat to underground caves and wage guerrilla warfare.

As long as you can avoid that giant dragon, you can still survive in the underground cave.

You can slowly cultivate in seclusion and seek to break through to the next level of the Innate Formless Divine Skill.

Alphonse pointed his fingers together like a sword and used the sharp edge of the sword to carve a hole in the rock wall.

They carefully stuffed the fur and gallbladder inside.

The pile of fur covered the gallbladder, ensuring that the cold spring inside wouldn't leak out.

Now he was completely naked.

It doesn't matter, no one here will see.

Alphonse launched a series of sword pellets at the rock wall.

Before long, a deep crater was punched into the rock wall, and a large area of ​​ice crystals remained at the bottom of the crater.

Alphonse shaved off a chunk of ice crystal, put it in his mouth, and headed straight back towards the lava lake.

Upon reaching the lakeshore, even with protective aura, Alphonse could still feel the intense heat emanating from his surroundings.

I was instantly drenched in sweat.

The true energy was consumed quickly, but fortunately, I could step on the sword light without my feet directly touching the ground.

If an ordinary person were to come here, their feet would definitely be scalded and torn by the hot ground.

With his keen intuition, Alphonse was able to sense a presence beneath the lava near the lake shore.

Not particularly powerful.

With a flick of his finger, several sharp sword pellets shot towards the lake surface.

The ice crystals encasing the sword pellet instantly turned into steam and evaporated.

Fortunately, the condensed sword energy was still intact, only slightly reduced in size. When it struck the viscous, hot magma, it caused ripples of magma to spread and splash in all directions.

The commotion had already alerted the monsters lurking beneath the lake.

With a strange, rumbling sound, a gigantic monster emerged from beneath the lava.

Alphonse instantly recognized the monster's appearance and was taken aback.

It wasn't the salamander we'd seen before, but something that looked like a giant salamander magnified many times over, with two long barbels around its large mouth and a glossy, slippery black skin.

It's okay.

It's a monster, anyway.

The "baby fish" opened its mouth wide, and in an instant, a fireball shot out from its mouth, hurtling towards Alphonse.

Alphonse flicked his fingers, sending several sword pellets flying towards the fireball.

However, they discovered that the "sword flick" could not shatter the fireball; it only neutralized much of it, making the fireball much smaller.

As the fireball hurtled towards him, Alphonse's palm instantly gleamed with a dark metallic sheen. With a casual flick of his wrist, he shattered the fireball.

The "giant salamander" didn't even intend to fight on land. Instead, it unleashed a barrage of fireballs, each one like a shooting star chasing after Alphonse.

To kill it in the lava lake and have its body sink to the bottom, Alphonse wasn't confident he could retrieve it from the lava.

If lava flows into its wound, it might become inedible.

In the blink of an eye, a plan was made.

In the midst of dodging and weaving, Alphonse quickly raised his hand, making a clenched fist with his fingers in the air towards the giant salamander, and then suddenly grabbed it back.

His first move was "Controlling the Universe".

With its powerful suction force, the giant salamander was involuntarily pulled onto the lake shore.

But at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

The giant salamander stopped spitting fireballs and opened its huge mouth wide, creating a powerful suction force.

Just like challenging Alphonse.

You can inhale, so can I!

A strong wind arose, and even Alphonse, standing atop the sword light, found it difficult to maintain his balance.

Even the pebbles on the shore flew up, but they didn't reach the giant salamander's gaping maw.

Alphonse remained completely calm. Instead of retreating, he advanced, flicking his thumb and unleashing a beam of intense, dark purple lightning.

Overlord Sword!

Open your mouth so wide, I'm going to give you something really exciting!

Lightning burst forth inside the giant salamander's mouth, causing its entire body to tremble and emit a mournful cry resembling that of an infant. Yet, it was not dead yet, and it turned to try and escape into the lava lake.

But it was too late. A colossal, shadowy serpent appeared out of nowhere and tightly wrapped around its body.

At the same time, however, a bright crimson light burst forth from the salamander's body.

Kal! Kal!

The sound of bones cracking rang out one after another.

The giant salamander was tightly bound and squeezed by the Shadow Serpent, causing it to become deformed.

However, the Shadow Serpent also showed signs of dissipation, with wisps of black mist drifting by.
