Wizard's Journey

Chapter 207 Bloodmoss

With a timely and decisive decision, Green withdrew from this pointless battle and turned to fly towards the giant blood waterfall and the corpse of the lava dragon floating on the lava heart lake.

Bubbling and gurgling, the lava lake, though no longer spewing lava columns like a raging torrent and having become relatively calm, was still slowly rising, radiating intense heat that made Green feel as if he were being roasted alive.

"First level of wild instinct, activated."

As Green shouted, his body cells seemed to awaken, and for a short time began to exude amazing vitality. At the same time, his senses about his surroundings seemed to become much clearer, and a layer of dense black scales appeared on his body, as if an evil creature living in a cruel abyss had descended upon the world.

As the scales on his body multiplied Grimm's resistance to basic elemental attributes, the scorching temperature around him seemed to drop dramatically in an instant.

"The scales on this body are the result of selective evolution of the first layer of savage instinct cells after passive resistance evolution, focusing on astonishing energy resistance. The average resistance of this scale to other energy types has reached over 700 degrees, while the strongest fire element resistance has reached almost 1,000 degrees." Green had some understanding.

Besides developing a wizard's instincts and allowing for selective evolution, the most important aspect of Wild Instinct is the physical stability boost it provides after activating Wild Instinct.

Perhaps the lower levels of wild instincts are not obvious, but if one can unlock them to the third or fourth level, the dramatic increase in physical strength once the wild instincts are activated is almost unbelievable.

Now, without directly contacting the lava flow, it shouldn't be a problem for Green to briefly explore inside the lava dragon's corpse in the Great Bloodfall.

With a whoosh, Green, shielded by the Wizard's Gauntlet, flew into the corpse of the Great Bloodfall Lava Dragon.

The scorching heat relentlessly baked everything inside the lava dragon's corpse. Since the Great Bloodfall Lava Dragon was already dead, a considerable amount of crimson magma had flowed into the mouth of its body, filling the air with a strange, acrid smell.

The interior of the Great Bloodfall Lava Dragon is quite spacious, and its structure is completely different from that of ordinary organisms. In addition to the outer layer of lava skin that has fallen off and into the magma, there is also a layer of gray-black armor material with extremely high fire and heat resistance inside.

Some of the lowly Amonro corpses, already reduced to ashes, lay quietly in certain corners, huddled together, still struggling in their final moments before death.

One can imagine the despair these low-level Amonro, who lacked the ability to fly, must have felt after the temperature inside the Great Bloodfall Lava Dragon's interior rose sharply.

Outside was endless lava, with no way to escape, so Zhongduo Amonro was roasted alive inside the furnace-like corpse of the lava dragon.

Inside the lava dragon, there are many crystalline substances, resembling stones, emitting a faint reddish glow, scattered about.

With a surge of magic, Grimm grabbed with one hand, and under the pull of gravity, a crystalline substance was drawn up. At the same time, without pausing for a moment, he continued to fly into the lava dragon's corpse, searching for the source of the Bloodmoss.

Green did not touch the head-sized crystalline substance directly with his hands. The crystalline substance did not emit a fiery heat, but rather a warm, smooth texture like a magic stone, seemingly an insulating material.

"This material... let's collect some first, because some experimental equipment might need this property in the future."

Green tore open a dimensional rift, absorbed more than a dozen such crystals under gravity, and then looked at the gray-black armor material surrounding the lava dragon.

"If these highly fire-resistant materials were extracted and refined into fibers to make wizard robes, their fire and heat resistance would probably surprise even a level three wizard."

As the thought crossed his mind, Green decided that after completing his goal, if the opportunity arose, he would try to collect some Great Bloodfall Lava Dragon 'skins'.

The lava in the Great Bloodfall Lava Dragon's inner space hadn't yet flowed into the magma, but the temperature seemed even higher, perhaps because it was already beneath the magma layer.

Ignoring the nearly charred corpses of the Amonro, Green looked up and discovered a dense layer of fleshy fat above his head—the "Zhangma Tree" of the Amonro culture.

These fleshy barriers had withered and completely lost their moisture. Without thinking twice, Green rushed directly into the innermost layer of the Great Bloodfall Lava Dragon's corpse.

Waaaaah...

Like the wailing of an infant, or the dying scream of a wild beast, a sharp and piercing sound came from a space filled with the heavy smell of boiled blood. This space was like the Amonro Nursery in the flesh-fat barrier passage, covered with soft, pink layers of flesh.

Without the slightest hesitation, Green took out the Sound Tail Bone Dagger and slashed it open, cutting through all the tangled layers of fat blocking his way. Instead of the expected thick green liquid flowing out, these layers of fat, dried by the scorching heat, tore apart like a sheet of paper.

Waaaaah...

The piercing screams intensified, and what appeared before Green's eyes was an "organ" that resembled an air sac. The organ was surrounded by dense layers of flesh and fat, much like the blood vessels around a heart, making it look extremely ferocious and terrifying.

These layers of fleshy fat barrier from the Amun-ro culture grow here, and it's impossible that they were naturally present in the Great Bloodfall Lava Dragon, which is close to the Lava Giants. They are clearly a means by which Amun-ro controlled the Lava Dragons.

Ignoring the somewhat disgusting-looking things, Green took off and peered into the airbag opening.

First, a wave of heat mixed with a pungent, corrosive acid fumes hit me in the face, and even the wizard's shield made a constant "squeaking" sound, probably due to corrosion.

While struggling to maintain his magic supply, Green focused intently on mobilizing the power of nature to quickly restore his magic.

What came into view was a patch of viscous, blood-red liquid at the bottom of the airbag, which was over ten meters tall, and the piercing scream was coming from this viscous, blood-red liquid.

hiss……

Green was astonished by what he saw inside.

These viscous, blood-red liquid-like floating objects were undoubtedly the Bloodmoss ejected from the Amonro strategic railgun on the battlefield. However, at this moment, these Bloodmoss creatures seemed to be on the verge of death due to excessive evaporation of the 'nutrient solution' inside the gas sac and the excessively high temperature. Therefore, these moss creatures were struggling like outstretched hands from hell.

At first glance, it seems as if these mosses share a common consciousness, constantly rolling around, which is truly terrifying.

At the very least, these blood-stained mosses are far more tenacious and terrifying than some of the malignant plants in the wizarding world, and should not even be classified as plants; they would be more appropriate to classify them as parasites.

At this point, the blood-malignant moss in the air sac has been filtered and refined by the harsh environment, leaving only the essence, just like the pus and semen condensed and boiled in a laboratory.

Suddenly, the blood-red moss seemed to sense the presence of Grimm, a living being. Its screams intensified, and it writhed and struggled toward Grimm, as if trying to crawl out of the air sac.

Green remained unmoved, calmed down, and tried to analyze the situation rationally.

The red, viscous liquid beneath the Bloodmoss in front of us is likely the blood of a living organism. In other words, besides certain conditions in the internal structure of this Great Bloodfall Lava Dragon, the blood of a living organism is also an essential element in raising these Bloodmoss.

The temperature inside the lava dragon was rising higher and higher, to the point that even the double defense of the Grimm Wizard's Shield and the black scale armor was gradually becoming insufficient to withstand it.

Without further hesitation, Green quickly retrieved several sealed, high-grade test tubes and, with precise control of both repulsive and attractive forces, rapidly collected data on the Bloodmoss samples within the air sac. Besides live Bloodmoss, there were also dried, dead Bloodmoss, dried material from the air sac walls, a layer of viscous blood, and vapors from the air…

One test tube contained half a bottle of blood waste that Green usually used in his experiments.

However, as soon as the opened test tube approached the bottom of the air sac, the churning blood-red moss surged towards it. Had Green's test tube not been relatively tall, it might have been submerged in an instant.

Even at this height, the tip of a relatively large wave of blood moss could barely reach the test tube, and a small portion of the blood moss at the tip quickly seeped into the test tube as if it were liquid.

He capped each test tube specimen bottle, even casting an extra spell on the one containing the blood moss, carefully collected them all, and then rushed out without further hesitation.

The temperature inside this lava dragon was so high that Green felt as if every breath he took was burning his lungs.

call out!

Grimm, who had just emerged from the lava dragon's corpse, glanced at the lava flow that was still a dozen meters away from filling the entire space, and his expression turned solemn.

On the other side, a group of dark wizards were slowly taking out a sphere wrapped in a thick layer of fleshy fat from the corpse of the Great Bloodfall Lava Dragon. Countless long, blood-red creatures slithered around inside like loaches, seemingly in a state of extreme panic.

This creature was not mentioned at all in the information crystal ball of the Origin Space Fortress.
