Chapter 741 Provocation

Blaze discovered that the Gem Turtle's random attacks suddenly stopped, and just as he was feeling strange, he felt a gaze from above.

The First Jewel Turtle looked down at Blaze, its little eyes curved in a rather human-like expression of contempt and sneer.

The look in his eyes seemed to say, "You're nothing but a young lion wearing a crown," and what followed was, as a matter of course, "Since you're trying to invade my territory without considering your own capabilities, I will accept your crown without hesitation."

Even though the Gem Turtle didn't say anything, Blaze could feel these impolite emotions from its eyes.

At this time, Blaze remembered the side effect of the skill [Leo Z], which is that although the beasts will obey him, they will also actively challenge his authority and challenge his throne.

This is the world of beasts. Just like conflicts over territory arise between different monsters, there are always monsters ready to take over the status of lions.

Blaze never paid any attention to this matter, probably because the monsters he encountered were quite self-aware and knew that they were lucky to survive facing Blaze, and certainly would not provoke a throne challenge that would lead to their death.

As for the Ancestral Gem Turtle... it sleeps too much and its brain isn't working properly.

After discovering that Blaze's attacks could only hurt it and could not really harm it, it felt that Blaze was just a name in name only, and was nothing special. So it had the illusion that it could take advantage of the situation and seize the throne.

"Amaterasu, I think you should go out and walk around more often and don't have to worry about me." Blaze said to Amaterasu quite seriously.

"You finally realize how beautiful I am? But I'm sorry, our relationship is like this. You can only possess my body. Any further would be against human ethics. I am also a god who keeps pace with the times. Things that were allowed in the past are no longer allowed now..."

Blaze slapped his forehead. It was too late. Amaterasu had slept too much and her brain was damaged.

Gah——

The First Jewel Turtle let out a provocative roar, raised its huge foot and stomped down at Blaze. Blaze was caught off guard by the step due to his symptoms of Amaterasu.

Gahhh——

The Ancestral Jewel Turtle roared triumphantly toward the sky, then closed its eyes, as if waiting for a coronation from the sky.

But for some reason, the sky was silent and the coronation of the stars did not come.

Is it because it's not evening yet?

"Or is it because of the harm you have done to me?"

Blaze emerged from the ground with a thud, brushing off the gravel on his body nonchalantly. Although Amaterasu was in the state of a spirit behind her, she was also covered in dust, and her face showed the anger of a goddess who had been desecrated.

When she was in Takamagahara, even though she was tormented by the flying bricks and Greenland, Amaterasu did not show any artificial anger.

"Do you find this fun?"

"What does a child know? This is called adding novelty." Amaterasu spread her hands, looking like an adult who is forgiving of the child's ignorance.

"From today on, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays I will play the role of the cold and beautiful sun goddess, on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays I will play the role of the gentle big sister, and on Sundays I will play the role of the useless goddess who needs to be taken care of."

When Blaze thought about what Amaterasu would really do in the future, he was very glad that he didn't let Athena rely on him, otherwise he would have had a hard time living.

The First Gem Turtle noticed that the tiny Blaze was still alive, and immediately showed an angry expression, and the gems all over its body emitted a strong light.

This is a unique behavior of the gem vein biome, the provocative equivalent of a lion raising its mane or a peacock spreading its tail to demonstrate its power.

"This guy is too arrogant."

Blaze touched his neck. There was no lion's mane on it. Moreover, after the Black Beast Knight armor changed, it added a decoration like a muzzle, making him look like a restrained domestic animal.

No wonder the Gem Turtle would provoke him, but this is just right.

Blaze opened his mouth and a white burning light shot onto the skin of the Gem Turtle. It was painful but not harmful, and it was just the right provocation for the Gem Turtle that already believed it had ascended the throne.

The Ancestral Gem Turtle immediately became furious and released its kingly aura, causing the gem vein behind it to release its contained energy at full power.

Countless circles of light were released from the soles of the Ancestral Jewel Turtle, enhancing the power of the next attack.

This time, the beam is no longer fired through the mouth of the Ancestral Gem Turtle, but energy is sprayed directly at the gem veins, with the power and attack range several times greater.

Blaze opened his arms and was engulfed by the light of the First Jewel Turtle.

This wave-like jet lasted for more than ten seconds, until the gem vein behind it dimmed and only a faint light remained.

It’s not that the Ancestral Gem Turtle wants to stop, but the energy of the gem mine has been exhausted.

The monsters in the gem vein biome are divided into strong and weak according to the power of the gems embedded in them. Sometimes, the monsters in the gem vein would rather die than consume the power.

The reason why the Ancestral Gem Turtle reached the level of Gem King, in addition to having innate advantages, was that it had accumulated enough time.

The attack on Blaze used up all the power that the First Jewel Turtle had accumulated so far. But the First Jewel Turtle didn't care at all. The great power inherited from Nightfall was enough for it to transform.

"Haha~ What a powerful blow."

A soft sigh made the Ancestral Jewel Turtle open its eyes wide. In the dust, a dazzling silver light was like a needle pointing directly at its forehead, causing it to feel pain and fear.

Blaze exhaled and patted his brand new fur.

"It feels like I took a hot bath, and my armor is polished."

Roar ah ah ah——

The Ancestral Gem Turtle took a step back in shock and anger, but the greed and excitement in its eyes became even stronger.

This was the power of the lion's hide, and it was this fur that allowed Blaze to survive its attack.

Whoever possesses this crown will become so powerful!

The First Jewel Turtle roared something like "I'm going to skin you alive" and stomped towards Blaze.

Blaze calmly tilted his head, glanced at the gem vein behind the Ancestral Gem Turtle that looked like an ordinary mountain range, and nodded.

"Okay, I can finish you off."

The Gem Turtle's eyes widened, and its expression seemed to say, "You think you can kill it with your low output?" Then it opened its mouth and bit Blaze.

"You want to eat me. You look a lot like the Nemean Giant. But this time I don't want to go into his stomach. It stinks."

Blaze didn't move, and the moment the Gem Turtle bit him, he raised his foot and stepped on its lower jaw, then grabbed its upper jaw with his left hand and lifted it up violently.

The head of the Ancestral Gem Turtle was split into two halves.

Chapter 742 Everything will be fine

"People who are blindly confident always end up like this, leaving behind a huge corpse that no one cares about or sympathizes with."

Today is Monday. Amaterasu plays the role of a noble, cold, wise and calm goddess. She looks at the Ancestral Jewel Turtle in front of her, sighing as if judging or pitying her.

"Fortunately, I am a god. No matter how confident I am, there will always be people who will sympathize with my tragic experience."

"It seems that I can only see the normal you on Sunday." Blaze sighed regretfully and stepped on the corpse of the Proto-Gem Turtle.

According to rumors among the miners, the body of the Gem King is like the former Gem Dragon, and after his death, it will turn into a new gem vein. The changeable environment in the gem vein area is caused by the death of the Gem King.

In terms of the results, it is a good thing that the King of Gems died. They are not creatures that are good for the ecological environment.

The gem vein biota is like the embodiment of the vein's aggressive consciousness. The gems on their bodies are like seeds. As they expand to the surrounding areas, they will absorb elements in the new soil and grow into new vein areas.

The Gem King is like the leader of this kind of aggressive consciousness. Their existence can greatly accelerate the mining of the terrain. You should know that there was only one mountain in the gem mining area before, but now it has become a continuous mining mountain range.

If the gem mines continue to expand without control, the entire world will be covered in mines and lifeless, with only the gem mine monster communities being able to survive.

Therefore, properly eliminating the monsters in the gem veins can not only protect the earth, but also allow the veins to cover and overlap each other, making the gem resources therein more abundant.

Blaze came to the back of the Gem Turtle and punched the ore vein that had completely turned into gray-white rock. A large number of cracks spread along his punch point to the entire back ore vein, followed by a mudslide-like collapse.

"Don't let this guy use up all the gems!"

Blaze watched as the gray-white mountains crumbled before him, with a sliver of blue light gleaming in the middle.

【Perfect Chrysoberyl Rough Stone】

[The perfect gemstone raw stone, just like top-grade food, only needs a little processing to become a perfect gemstone. ]

The perfect chrysoberyl raw stone seemed to be placed specially, on a stone pillar like an altar, emitting perfect light.

Blaze walked up to the stone pillar and found that the raw stone was unexpectedly small, only the size of Herbie's fist. After removing the residue on it, it was probably only the size of an eyeball.

After picking up the rough stone and looking at it, Blaze found a line in the middle of the rough stone.

"What is this? A perfect gem of inferior quality? You damn bastard!"

"This variation of chrysoberyl, alexandrite cat's eye, is also known as chrysoberyl cat's eye. It is one of the most beautiful gems in the world." The snake explained hurriedly, and Blaze's little experience made her speak human language.

"Ah~ So it's a good thing that's useless to me." Blaze sighed regretfully, "What we need is an emerald. Only a perfect emerald can make a perfect reverse alchemy item..."

In order to prevent the snake from saying something like ordinary gems would do, Blaze immediately changed the subject.

"By the way, this turtle only dropped this one item? How stingy."

Blaze picked up the miner's manuscript and smashed it at the dead gray vein in front of him. Every time the snake tried to speak, Blaze would hit it harder.

To be honest, Blaze is just venting his frustration now. Although he didn't expect things to go smoothly, he is really disappointed that he didn't succeed.

Alas... You know, the probability of knocking out a perfect gem in a mine is only 0.02%. Sometimes, even if a stranger gambles his own life, there is no way to grasp the 0.02% possibility.

Although sometimes when the bet really wins, those fearless foreigners will look as if they have seen a ghost.

Click——

"Hmm?" Blaze felt his miner's manuscript stuck, and then a ray of light emanated from the crack in the manuscript.

"This is!"

"This is amazing." Blaze pulled out the fist-sized round stone from the crack in the mine.

【Perfect Rough Stone Seed】

[According to legend, the unfertilized eggs of the Gem Dragon will produce perfect gems after combining with elements, and the perfect gems will continue to absorb elements and become the new King of Gems]

"Should I complain about the fact that the Gem Dragon is a female dragon, or should I complain about the fact that the Gem Dragon is viviparous?"

Speaking of dragons, the most popular one is of course the Dragon Rider. Except for the foreigners who ride dragons directly and become Dragon Riders, most Dragon Riders are dragons that are bred by the Riding Kingdom through hatching dragon eggs for generations.

But the Gem Dragon has an...egg.

"The Gem Dragon is a true ancient dragon. Rather than being a living creature, it is more like a natural phenomenon. The eggs are just a description of its reproduction in a way that living beings can understand." The snake looked at the raw stone seeds and marveled at the perfection of the ancient dragon.

"Never mind. We just need to find a way to make this rough stone seed absorb the corresponding elements and grow into a perfect emerald gem."

"Aren't you going to ride a jewel king? In time you'll ride an ancient dragon."

"Even if I really want to become a dragon rider... isn't there a ready-made one?" Blaze gestured up and down, "It looks like a very powerful dragon."

"But I..." The snake hesitated.

"Don't think too much. Everything will be fine. I promise."

……

A woman's humming voice echoed in the unknown dim space, and her alluring figure was vaguely visible on the mist-covered frosted glass door. It was an alluring feeling that appealed to both men and women, but the only admirer's attention was on something much larger.

The female store manager rubbed her arms nervously as she looked at the huge machine in front of her.

Wires were connected to the machine, providing it with energy, but the noise from the machine was a bit disturbing.

"What on earth is this?" the female store manager couldn't help but ask.

"A virtual stealth cabin, haven't you seen it before?"

The woman pushed the door open while drying her hair. She approached the machine barefoot and started it.

With a buzzing sound, the machine opened and deformed, revealing the part inside which one could lie down. This virtual stealth cabin seemed to have been over-modified, with many fancy and useless decorations.

The woman continued to hum a little tune as she lay down in the virtual stealth cabin and performed the final adjustments.

"Why do you want to use nutrient solution?"

"Why? Because I plan to stay in there for the next few days. I just cleared out the contents of my intestines. You know, the instructions for soaking in nutrient solution, naked and all." The woman shook her fingers, her tone casual.

"You know I'm not asking—"

"Shh-"

The woman raised her hand and pressed her index finger to her lips, with a bright and sunny smile on her face.

"Don't think too much. Everything will be fine. I promise."

Women have never looked more energetic than they do now.

For some reason, the female store manager felt quite bad, but she could only watch the virtual stealth cabin being closed.

The virtual stealth cabin in front of me looks like a coffin.
