Alone and Infinite

In just a moment, his upper body clothes were burned to ashes, leaving only his heat-resistant trousers.

Dark red, illusory dragon scales began to appear and disappear on the surface of the body, and the temperature here had reached at least six or seven hundred degrees.

Li Xia simply held his breath and switched to internal energy. Even so, the strong smell of sulfur seemed to penetrate through his skin.

Through the thick smoke, there appeared to be a huge, deep hole below.

There was something faintly red below, appearing and disappearing like breathing.

Li Xia hesitated for a few seconds, then jumped down decisively.

The smoke grew thicker, and the dark red lava on the pit walls was faintly visible.

As the temperature rose rapidly, the dragon scales on Li Xia's body became increasingly prominent and vibrant.

Finally, under the dark light of the magma, it unexpectedly refracted a dazzling red.

Each dragon scale is carved like a fine ruby.

The shoes have already been put away; the green gear couldn't withstand the nearly 1,000-degree heat.

When my bare feet touched the bottom of the pit, they felt a slight burning sensation.

Li Xia looked around at the bottom of the pit, which was at least fifty or sixty meters from the top.

Only the flowing lava on the upper half of the pit wall provided a faint light, with a pillar-like rock column in the middle.

It flickered with a faint red light, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, like breathing.

Each flash releases a large amount of heat outwards.

No wonder the weakness of the Lavasioth lies here, yet few people have approached it from this angle.

A temperature approaching 1000 degrees Celsius is indeed beyond the current capabilities of the apostles.

Fire magic might work, but the Lavasioth is equally immune to fire magic attacks.

If it weren't for the Smaug Scales armor I was wearing, I wouldn't have been able to withstand this terrifying temperature.

Li Xia did not rush to attack, but instead asked through the team channel:

"Awoo, does the guide say how long it takes for the passage to close after the Zorah Magdaros's heat dissipation organs are destroyed?"

He's not stupid. At this point, he's stubbornly refusing to look at the guide. Exploring on his own is fine, but there's no need for that.

The solution is already in place; now it's just a matter of using the calculator.

"Hmm—I've got it! In short, once vital organs are attacked, the Lava Dragon will immediately begin to close its passages!"

Close immediately?

understood

A glint seemed to flash in Li Xia's eyes as he released the breath he had been holding.

The scorching air gathered in my lungs, making my entire chest feel like it was on fire.

The immediate closure means there's only one chance to attack!

My heart was pounding, and I stomped my left foot down heavily.

The hard lava ground suddenly collapsed, creating a small crater, with dense, spiderweb-like cracks spreading outwards.

The flowing magma below splashed out, and the temperature finally exceeded Li Xia's tolerance limit.

The wisps of smoke rising from the roasted flesh were dispersed by the surging true qi.

Li Xia shouted and suddenly unleashed his right fist with the fastest speed.

"Boom--!"

A shockwave quickly spread from the point of impact.

It even blew away the thick smoke, and the sound was like thunderclaps echoing in the pit.

Li Xia didn't even look at it. He squatted slightly and looked up at the top of the passage, which had begun to tremble and close.

At a distance of fifty meters, it already appears as small as a disc.

"Whoosh!"

Rock fragments flew everywhere, lava burst forth, and the rapidly leaping body pierced through layer after layer of dense smoke.

It rose at an unbelievable speed.

"boom!"

Li Xia looked at the closed passageway, then at the sign from the Hall of Light:

[You have destroyed 1/3 of the Zorah Magdaros's radiator tubes, and you have dealt 15% damage to the Zorah Magdaros!]

[Executioner, you are currently ranked number one on the damage list.]

----------------

1. Monthly pass 2. Recommendation vote

They've gone mad, they've all fallen ill.

I'm on a business trip this time because it's relatively close to my hometown.

My wife suggested we go back to our hometown together.

I figured I could take this opportunity to pay my respects during the New Year, and then I wouldn't go back home for the holiday.

then

First, on the day I arrived, for some reason, I was shivering in an air-conditioned room at 26 degrees Celsius while wearing a down jacket.

Even wrapped in a thick quilt, I was still shivering, and it took me 11 hours to recover.

As a result, my wife fell ill again today, her whole body ached, and she vomited.

I was completely exhausted when I got back from running errands. I had to take care of the older child and the younger one too.

Chapter 153 Dragon-Slaying Spear!

The crater beneath them suddenly closed, spewing out fragments and lava mixed with smoke.

"Ok?"

Something seemed to be glittering among the gushing debris; I reached out and scooped up those glittering fragments.

【Huilong Stone】

[Description: A rare mineral, one of the byproducts of the Lava Dragon, used for strengthening and crafting equipment, and possesses excellent ductility.]

A total of 4 Shining Dragon Stones, an unexpected bonus.

Li Xia carefully put away the Radiant Dragon Stone and hung it from the protrusion on the spine of the Lava Mountain Dragon with one hand.

The Lava Dragon's body was trembling violently, and with each tremor, a large amount of magma would gush out.

It meanders and flows across the body's surface, gradually cooling into a brand new shell, but its maximum lifespan is reduced by a small portion.

It's down to 85%! It can't quickly repair the damaged heat dissipation organs!

If all three are defeated, the maximum health can be reduced to 55%!

However, seeing that the passage had already closed, Li Xia knew he had to wait for another opportunity.

He simply directed Aowu and Heitan in the team chat:

"Lower the cannon muzzle by two degrees, and move the ballista five meters to the right!"

You absolutely need to be a micromanager!

Awoo immediately replied, "Your Highness, in that case, all the cannons and ballistae will miss! The kitten just adjusted its position."

Li Xia's newly ignited micro-management spirit was immediately extinguished:

"That's okay."

After thinking for a moment, he added instructions in the team chat:

"Don't rush to attack. Wait until I destroy the second organ, then focus on attacking the chest. It shouldn't have time to recover. Use cannonballs first, then explosive crossbow bolts."

"Meow!"

Aowu's translation was very timely:

"Your Highness, the kitten said something similar to me before. We are loading cannonballs and ballistae, preparing for a big attack!"

hiss------

Li Xia took a breath of the scorching air. Black Charcoal. Wasn't it a graduate of the Art Department of the Palico?

I glanced at the chat group when I had a spare moment. Second-tier disciples still only spend 10 points per message. This amount of money is acceptable for a second-tier disciple who can enter the Monster Hunter world.

We can easily chat for at least 100 minutes.

The apostles were chatting idly, finding no sense of urgency in the mission, which aligned perfectly with the temple's values.

Without significant danger, there are no outstanding returns.

"The person at the top of the list should have secured first place, right?"

"Pretty much. Taking down one isn't enough. It depends on whether we have the ability to take down a second one. Once we break through two, we're in control."

"What if three are broken?"

"A team broke through three of them. It seems that it was the second-tier elite team of the Freemasons of Light, one of the four major guilds, who tried to see if breaking through three could kill the Lava Dragon."

"what's the result?"

[Apostle #**** has started crowdfunding, with a target amount of 200 points.]

"Depend on!"

The apostles cursed and shouted, then casually tossed out three or five points, and in a short while they had gathered more than 180 points.

Li Xia simply added the final 12 points, and only then did the apostle say with satisfaction:

"The result is that Nergigante made an early appearance. Nergigante is an entity that devours Elder Dragons and had its eye on Lavasioth long ago. However, it couldn't defeat Lavasioth, so it could only follow along and wait for Lavasioth to die before eating it."

After the three organs are broken, the Zorah Magdaros will be weakened, so the Nergigante will quickly come out to pick up the pieces.

That team had a really tough time. They were clearly a top-tier Tier 2 team, but they got wiped out by Nergigante.

"Is Nergigante this powerful?"

One of the apostles asked doubtfully.

The strategy guide user who was questioned replied with dissatisfaction: "An 8-star Ancient Dragon, do you think it's powerful or not?"

The key to the Nergigante's attack is that every move carries dragon seal power, and it deals true damage when hitting a Tier 2 monster. It also has a fully enhanced body and super-fast regeneration.

A flying charge that instantly kills!

The topic ended there, and no one questioned it anymore. Instead, they started talking about equipment trading and material trading.

Li Xia closed the chat platform, shut her eyes, and quietly waited for the next opportunity.

"hold head high----"

The Lava Dragon let out a deafening roar, the enormous monster, already nearing the end of its life, was now consumed by rage.

It couldn't understand why these reptiles kept preventing it from going to the Dragon Graveyard to die peacefully.

Dark red magma covered the ground beneath the Lava Dragon's feet. The destruction of two of its heat dissipation organs caused the heat accumulating within its body to surge even more fiercely.

The only thing that can be done is to turn the cold, hard rock into magma again and again, and let it flow out like sweat.

Its scarlet eyes coldly stared at the defensive fortifications before it, and endless heat began to gather.

Almost all ancient dragons possess the ability to mobilize natural forces and alter the surrounding ecological environment, much like a natural disaster.

Now, this dying ancient dragon has finally mustered its last strength, determined to wipe out these reptiles before it!

"Everyone——————"

The commander-in-chief, who was standing on the high platform nervously watching the scene below, suddenly changed his expression, waved his hand, and shouted angrily:

"Immediately retreat to the last fortification! Dragon-Slaying Spear, prepare—!"
