An invincible journey starting from a different race

Yes, he only saw the aged appearance of these lizardmen, but completely ignored the stories behind their wrinkled bodies. He wondered how much effort they had put in...

Damn it, he really can’t make up any more stories.

Seeing that he couldn't make any sense with these old stubborn people, Stank turned to look at Aesop: "Hey, Aesop, stop wasting time here. Have you forgotten our mission?!"

The Flame Beast Elder was startled, thinking that his clan had indeed come here on serious business. So he calmly asked, "Oh, is there anything you're here for? If you need any help, feel free to ask."

"Of course we have something serious to say!" Stank said, "We are here to find the Nightmare."

"Ah... this... is really a good thing."

For a moment, the Flame Beast Elder didn't know whether Stank was joking or not.

"Hey, don't underestimate our journey," Stank said, pointing at the Flame Beast Elder. "We're here to find the Nightmare, but our target is that... most legendary creature."

After some explanation, the people present finally understood the destination of their trip, and then they all showed shocked expressions.

It turns out that in this world...

There really are such boring people.

However, since their relatives were here, they really didn't dare to mock these guys. They even had to wonder why their relatives were fooling around with these boring guys. Is there a deeper meaning behind this?

I can only say that the main family is worthy of being the main family. It is indeed not something that these branch families can figure out.

"I've heard a little about that legendary nightmare demon," said the Flame Beast Elder, "but I don't know much more. Perhaps only the older generation of the family knows about it. After all, in all these years, no one has actually managed to successfully reach the underground."

Kelimu asked curiously, "Even races like yours that are fire-resistant can't do this?"

"No," the Flame Beast Elder shook his head and said, "It's not just the heat that's holding us back. The spring water is very special... you'll understand once you experience it. While the water in the outer ring is far inferior to that in the middle and inner rings, once you step into the pool, you'll understand what I mean."

Stank fanned himself with his hands and exhaled, "Honestly, there's no need to go down. Now that I'm here, I realize we were being too naive. I can't handle the temperature alone, and then we have to soak in the hot springs... Damn it, I'm not going to be steamed to pieces. Hey, Jer, you have to buff me when the time comes. And Aesop, I won't go down to the springs without your help."

"Don't worry."

Jer made an OK gesture, and Aesop nodded to indicate that it was okay.

"If it's just auxiliary magic, then it's far from enough... Well, I won't say much. Anyway, as long as you get into the water, you'll understand." The Flame Beast Elder asked, "So when do you plan to try it?"

"Well..." Stank stroked his chin and said, "We've been traveling for so many days, so we definitely need to rest and relax."

The Flame Beast Elder immediately understood what Stank meant and said with a smile, "Then let us help you arrange accommodations and places for entertainment and relaxation."

Hearing what the Flame Beast Elder said, Stank immediately became alert: "You come to arrange it for us, it won't be another..."

"Don't worry," Elder Yanshou said calmly. "Before, I didn't understand you all. I thought you liked high-end things. Now I understand. It turns out that what you like is vulgar... ahem, I mean, something more approachable."

"Hey, hey, hey, did you just say something vulgar?"

"You heard wrong," the Flame Beast Elder said with a smile. "Actually, there are many shops in the Outer Ring that perfectly meet your needs. As long as you don't choose the local services, generally nothing will go wrong. Some services are popular with us locals, but you outsiders might find them unacceptable. For example, a while ago, a halfling demanded a fight with our most outstanding Fire Crocodile Girl."

"and then?"

"Then he broke off."

"This is the third time I've heard of this," Stank asked. "That halfling, isn't his name Ganqiu?"

The Flame Beast Elder looked at the Fire Crocodile Big Sister. The Fire Crocodile Big Sister recalled and shook her head: "No, not Gan Qiu."

Stank heaved a sigh of relief: "That's good..."

"He said his name was Stank."

Stank: “?”

Eighty-two, you actually!

Finally, led by the Fire Crocodile Sister, everyone found their old friend in a luxurious guest room.

Ganqiu, a halfling, is instructing a fire lizard to help him massage his legs and shoulders.

When they entered the room, they heard Gan Qiu saying in a very arrogant tone: "There, there, that's it, right, right. Well... seeing that your attitude is pretty good, I will stay for another half a month, and then I can go back after I recover. By then, I will definitely say a few good words for you in my evaluation guide... Haha, you have all heard of my name, right? I am the adventurer Stank..."

"You're the boss!" Stank rushed over, grabbing Gan Qiu's neck and shaking him back and forth. "How dare you abuse my reputation, you little bastard!"

“…Ah ...

Stank stopped shaking and asked, "Where exactly are you broken?"

Gan Qiu raised his right index finger, which was wrapped in a thick bandage. "It's broken here."

Stank was very confused: "Why is your finger broken?"

"This is a sad story," Gan Qiu said. "I tried to change the world with the power of a finger."

"and then?"

"Then she did a crocodile roll." Gan Qiu felt very aggrieved, "So this is what happened to me."

Stank: "..."

Ten minutes later, everyone finally figured out what had happened.

"After you left for Scattered Explosion City, I got bored being alone, so I remembered the review Aesop wrote about fire dragons, so I came here," Gan Qiu said. "But after I got here, I realized that fire dragons are usually not seen. At least you have to go to the Central Ring to see them, so I tried it out in the Outer Ring, and ended up getting into trouble."

Stank glanced at Ganqiu and said, "Then why are you still here? And why do you want my name?"

"We have suffered a lot, and we must find a way to make up for it." Ganqiu tried hard to raise his limp finger, "I told them that I am a very famous evaluator of dream monsters. They put I was injured. If I didn't do something, I would definitely not give them a good review. In order to compensate me, they decided to let me recuperate here until I recover, without charging me accommodation fees, and as long as it is I can go to any store under their name, hehehe, where can I encounter such a good thing, so I stayed."

Jer couldn't help but admire and said, "Looking at it this way, it's not a bad thing that you broke your finger."

"That's true." Ganqiu said with a little pride, "We halflings never suffer any loss. And I even wrote to you, asking you to come quickly."

"why?"

"The main thing is to let Aesop come over." Ganqiu said to Aesop, "Aesop, please give me a quick one, that concentric connection."

Aesop was a little curious: "Why?"

"Of course I'm going to challenge that fire crocodile again," Gan Qiu said. "How could I lose here? Bruce was in that state back then, and you still saved him. So it shouldn't be a problem for you to help me this time."

Aesop looked down at Gan Qiu, recalling the huge body of the fire crocodile in his mind, and then shook his head: "No."

"Why?" Gan Qiu was very dissatisfied. "How am I worse than Stank?"

"There."

Gan Qiu: “…”

"Alright, Ganqiu, stop staring at the fire crocodile," Stank said. "We didn't even receive your letter, but we came here anyway because we have a greater goal."

"What?"

Stank immediately told Ganqiu about the legendary nightmare, and Ganqiu immediately became excited.

"There's actually such a thing! This is so exciting." Gan Qiu clenched his fists tightly. "I want to participate too... Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, chasing legends is what a man should do. I feel like I'm burning up. It's so hot."

Aesop glanced behind Ganqiu and said, "You are indeed on fire... Your butt is on fire, Ganqiu."

Gan Qiu turned his head and saw that his clothes had been rubbed by sparks from the stove and were now burning fiercely.

"Fuck!"

Now that there is another happy brother, there is nothing more to say, just do it.

The group, who had originally planned to enjoy the Outer Ring's local customs, suddenly realized that once they reached the Central Ring, they could enjoy even more fun activities with the beautiful Fire Dragon Sister. There was no need to stay in the Outer Ring at all, and their motivation instantly increased. After a good night's rest, they headed straight for the Outer Ring's spring the next morning, intending to walk directly from the spring to the Central Ring.

Although Amanda could take them directly to the Central Ring, they were after all pursuing the legend, so they had to conquer the springs from the Outer Ring to the Central Ring first.

But to be honest, soaking in a hot spring at 40 or 50 degrees is definitely not a good experience.

In order to support their feat, the Flame Beast Elder had already expelled the locals from the hot spring pool, providing them with a good challenging environment.

"The deeper you go, the higher the water temperature becomes, and the section from the outer ring to the middle ring is already the coldest," the Flame Beast Elder said to the crowd. "This section of the journey is no problem for species with fire resistance, but it's not so easy for species without fire resistance."

Because Amanda and Collim were resistant to fire, they did not go into the water and planned to go directly to the hot spring pool in the central area by land to wait for them.

But Amanda still had some doubts: "Can you guys make it? Are you going to die in the middle of it? I don't want to have to go into the water to find you then."

"Don't underestimate us, Charmander!" Stank pointed at Amanda and said, "Just wait for us at the Central Pond. We'll be there soon. All you have to do is wait and introduce your sister to me!"

Amanda curled her lips and didn't want to pay any attention to these people.

The Flame Beast Elder coughed twice and said, "Everyone, it's best to take off your clothes before entering the water. This pool is filled with fire-attributed magic. You should be able to sense it. Ordinary clothes are likely to ignite underwater."

"Is there such a thing? It's time to take them off." Stank turned to look at Klim, "Klim, please help us take the clothes to Central."

"Um, can I refuse..."

"Then you can go into the water with us."

But Lim suddenly blushed: "Then I'd better help you get your clothes."

"Okay, let's test the water temperature first!" Stank flexed his muscles but didn't jump in immediately. Instead, he turned to Aesop and Jer and said, "Aesop, Jer, give me the buff."

"I have no problem giving you a buff, but I can only give you a weaker one because the stronger buff has a time limit, and I want to save it for last."

Aesop said, "It doesn't matter. Mine lasts a long time and is very powerful."

Then, Aesop raised his hand and pointed at Stank. Stank saw a blue light pouring into his body and suddenly felt strengthened. He immediately rushed into the water without even waiting for Jair's BUFF.

"Oh..." The burning sensation I imagined did not come. Instead, I felt a coolness. Even the hot feeling on land disappeared. "Ah, Aesop, your spell is really powerful. , I can’t feel any heat at all, as expected of you, I don’t even need Jer’s BUFF.”

Jer curled his lips and said, "Okay, I won't use it for now."

Stank chuckled, "Save your buff for last, when we're about to conquer the middle ring, the inner ring... oh no, should I say, the inner ring, the underground? Then use it. Then maybe we can reach the depths of the earth and meet the legendary nightmare demon. Oh, why does this challenge suddenly feel so easy?"

"Can't you feel the heat?" Elder Yan Beast was also a little surprised. He turned to look at Aesop and said, "Young man, what kind of magic are you using?"

"I changed his sense of touch," Aesop said, "from the sensation of heat to a cool feeling, so he doesn't feel the heat."

"If that's the case, then it's best not to."

Stank turned and looked over: "Ah, why?"

The Flame Beast Elder said seriously, "Because your senses are the most direct way to understand your body's condition. The water in the pool can cause damage to your body, and if you can't feel it, it will be very dangerous. You don't want to wait until you're fully cooked and then happily move forward, do you?"

Stank was startled. "Will it be like this again?"

"The water at this stage shouldn't be enough to cause such consequences, but it's hard to say after that," said the Flame Beast Elder. "But then again, if you can't handle the waters from the outer ring to the middle ring and need external forces, then it proves your endurance is low, and it's basically impossible for you to challenge the final stage. From the inner ring to the underground, that's not a situation that can be solved by magic buffs."

"Is that so?" Stank thought for a moment, then said to Aesop, "Then Aesop, quickly remove your magic."

Aesop nodded, and immediately removed the magic from Stank.

Then, Stank's expression changed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

One second, two seconds, ten seconds...

After holding on for another thirty seconds, he jumped out with a cry, covering his lower body with all his might, his face as red as a hard-boiled egg.

"This is too much, this is too much..." Stank was so burned that he didn't know what to say.

Just at this moment, he saw Gan Qiu holding his stomach and laughing.

I laughed so happily that tears came out.

"Hey, Ganqiu," Stank said, a little dissatisfied. "Are you so happy to see me suffer?"

"No, Stank, I just saw it, I just saw it!" Gan Qiu pointed at Stank's lower body and laughed breathlessly, "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, Stank, you are too miserable."

Stank was a little puzzled. Although he was naked, they were all men. What was so funny?

And how could Gan Qiu still laugh at him?!

"Asshole, what are you laughing at!"

"Hahahahaha!" Gan Qiu was still laughing, and then, under Stank's angry pressure, he quickly wiped away the tears of laughter and said, "Stak, I saw it."

"You actually have two balls!"

"Hahahaha!"

"Someone actually has two balls!"

"Oh wow wow wow, I'm dying of laughter."

"Two, two, hehehehe..."

"Haha."

"hey-hey."
