A Sorcerer’s Journey

Chapter 738: Chapter 738: A Piece of Demonic Bone

Leaving the range of the Tristar Holy Tower, Green’s first task was to delve into research on the Abyssal Dragons.

For an Abyssal Physical Cultivator, the Abyssal Dragon is akin to the Symbiotic Insect of an Elemental Wizard, a part of one’s own strength. Agrimond’s turnaround in the final stages relied on his Abyssal Dragon.

However, it’s unknown how long it will be before a new Abyssal King dares to challenge Agrimond, who has already demonstrated such formidable power.

Huff, huff, huff...

The Enigmatic Thousand-Headed Bird and the Thousand-Eyed Giant Crab slowly descended into a canyon.

The exterior of the canyon was damp and dark, with strange insect cries echoing sharply everywhere. Abyssal creatures of lesser size could be seen everywhere. With the profusion of Abyss Moss, the abyssal aura here was significantly more potent than in other places.

”Master, ahead lies the most famous Abyssal Demon Dragon Birth Pool in the vicinity.”

A burly, dark-skinned Body Refining Sorcerer, draped in animal skins and holding a black long fork, rode on a small dragon about five meters in length, respectfully speaking to Green.

”Hmm.”

Green casually tossed a few High Energy Crystal Stones, which the Body Refining Sorcerer caught and departed with enthusiasm.

”Ga-ga-ga-ga, young master, look, I’ve caught one!”

Xiao Ba exclaimed with excitement.

On a black slab, a small gecko-shaped Abyssal Dragon was struggling under Xiao Ba’s foot; it was an infant form of the Abyssal Dragon, so feeble that even Xiao Ba could bully it.

Green naturally knew information about the Abyssal Dragon’s weak infant stage, glanced at it twice, and then paid no more attention, stepping through the gravel and mud-filled canyon; the Thousand-Eyed Giant Crab and Enigmatic Thousand-Headed Bird were evidently averse to the canyon’s dense abyssal aura and did not venture further in.

”Damn, it’s the prey Master Eight captured!”

Xiao Ba shouted angrily, as another ”little gecko” swiftly crawled over, biting the neck of the one Xiao Ba was stepping on, absorbing the other’s abyssal aura.

Furious, Xiao Ba noticed that this creature dared to ignore his authority, stealing his prey!

Just as Xiao Ba intended to stamp the rebellious little gecko underfoot, a lightning-fast shadow suddenly lunged at Xiao Ba, whose sharp crisis instincts prompted a shrill ”Ga!” as he appeared on Green’s shoulder.

Hmm?

Green turned his head to see a slightly larger Abyssal Dragon, about twenty centimeters in size. After its unsuccessful attack, it glanced at Xiao Ba and, wary of Green, quickly slipped into the crevices and disappeared.

This place was filled with flightless juvenile dragons, the birth pool for the Wizard World’s ’Flying Dragon Fairy.’ Once capable of flight, these Abyssal Dragons would immediately leave to roam the vast Underground Abyss World.

”Be careful.”

Green cautioned Xiao Ba perched on his shoulder, then began to diligently control his body temperature change to blend with the environment.

Green had known since his apprentice days, during battles with Cameron under Uncle Four Eyes of Uto, that these creatures relied on thermal perception for sight.

Once fully blended, Green became semi-transparent to the eyes of these Abyssal Dragons, proceeding deeper into the canyon.

The increasingly pungent sulfur smell, thick volcanic ash mixed with water vapor, and toxic gases permeated the air, but Green was unfazed.

Pop!

His palm swiftly pressed on a juvenile Abyssal Dragon, this tiny creature struggled intensely, turning back to bite Green’s finger. Green examined it briefly and then injected a sedative potion, collecting it.

This was already the seventeenth specimen Green had collected, varying in size.

Abyssal Dragons can only be tamed during their juvenile stage; Abyssal Physical Cultivators use blood and magic power corrupted by Abyssal Demonic Qi to nurture them, bonding with them spiritually and battling together.

Each Abyssal Dragon has innate traits without a standardized measure, but they exhibit different characteristics during the Magic Insect phase, with some even mutating into Abyssal Magic Insects.

Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle...

The pungent smoke stung the senses, and bubbles rose from the boiling water, as the density of Abyssal Demonic Qi gathered in a whirlpool-like manner from all directions, shockingly exaggerated.

Here was the primordial state before the birth of an Abyssal Dragon, the Abyssal Magic Insect!

Evolved from the rules of the Abyss, an Abyssal Demon Dragon could also be called a Flying Dragon Fairy. In this boiling pool of water, countless Abyssal Magic Insects, no bigger than a thumbnail, writhed hideously, biting and devouring each other until the strongest developed the ability to adapt to environments beyond the boiling water pool. Only then would they evolve into juvenile Abyssal Dragons.

With a light scoop of the palm from the boiling water pool, seven or eight grotesque Abyssal Magic Insects appeared in Green’s hand, their massive jaws biting into Green’s skin, attempting to burrow into his body.

”Gah!? Young master, look over there!”

After collecting the Abyssal Magic Insect specimens, Green looked in the direction Xiao Ba pointed to, where an Abyssal Magic Insect was evolving into a juvenile Abyssal Dragon in the boiling water pool. This kind of evolution was commonplace here, but unexpectedly, Green’s luck was indeed incredible this time; he encountered a mutated Abyssal Magic Insect.

Surrounded by pale blue frost, this Abyssal Magic Insect was about to evolve into a juvenile Abyssal Ice Dragon.

”Not bad, quite an unexpected gain, but alas, I’m not an Abyssal Physical Cultivator, and I don’t have the time or energy to nurture it slowly. Better to keep it as a specimen or sell it.”

This kind of mutated juvenile dragon can usually be sold for two or three Witch Essences.

Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar...

High above, a group of Abyssal Dragons descended. It was a natural migration phenomenon of the Abyssal Dragons, as the juvenile ones were too weak and often preyed upon by other Abyssal creatures. Thus, mature Abyssal Dragons periodically explored various Abyssal Demon Dragon Birth Pools.

Roar!

At this moment, the Thousand-Eyed Giant Crab and the Enigmatic Thousand-Headed Bird appeared from the sky and engaged in a fierce battle with a group of over thirty Abyssal Dragons. The leader of these Abyssal Dragons was also a Third-Level Creature, and their roars were incessant.

Bang, bang, bang, bang...

From time to time, one or two Abyssal Dragon corpses fell from the sky. After a considerable time, the remaining Abyssal Dragons fled, and both the Thousand-Eyed Giant Crab and the Enigmatic Thousand-Headed Bird suffered various degrees of injury, showcasing the ferocity of the Abyssal Dragons.

”Aren’t you coming out yet?”

Green glanced at a crevice not far away, where a trembling little figure emerged under Green’s gaze.

This was a junior wizard who had come to capture Abyssal Dragons, pathetically weak, just slightly stronger than a Legendary Knight, looking at Green with immense terror.

”Thank you, Master, for saving my life!”

For this little fellow, breaking through the range of the juvenile dragons to reach here was almost a life-and-death situation. Companions who had come together had already died on the way, not to mention these mature Abyssal Dragons.

If it weren’t for Green being here, he would already be dead.

Life and death accompanied the Wild Body-Refining Sorcerers of the Abyssal Underworld at every moment. On the path of growth, those Wild Body-Refining Sorcerers who managed to survive would only grow stronger. This little fellow’s first stage goal was to nurture his own Abyssal Dragon companion, then become a Gladiator Sorcerer, participate in Beastfighting Arena competitions, and embark on the journey to become the Abyssal King.

”Want it?”

The little fellow stared intently at the Frost Abyssal Magic Insect that was evolving in Green’s hands, and before leaving, Green teased him with a question.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing Green’s words, this little fellow seemed to make a monumental decision and suddenly cautiously handed over an oddly shaped greatsword from his back.

Surprised, Green listened as Xiao Ba suddenly shrieked, ”The aura of the Nameless Ancient Demon!”

Hmm!?

Upon close inspection, this oddly shaped greatsword was actually a bone, a bone from a Nameless Ancient Demon that the Ancient Wizards had destroyed?

”Master, this is an ancient demon bone I dug out while in the mines. At any Beastfighting Arena, this ancient demon bone can be exchanged for a High Energy Crystal Stone reward. I want to...”

”Take it.”

Without hesitation, Green casually tossed the evolving Frost Abyssal Magic Insect specimen to the junior wizard. Compared to a mere mutated Abyssal Magic Insect worth two or three Witch Essences, this Nameless Ancient Demon bone held significantly greater value in terms of Green’s collection and research.

The junior wizard grasped the Frost Abyssal Magic Insect in his hands, thanked repeatedly, and excitedly left without looking back. (To be continued.
