Chapter 45: One-Horned Fire Tyrannosaurus, Fire Unrivaled
After Dugu Bo's coronation ceremony, the guests dispersed, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan returned to its former tranquility.
Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Tianming, who were about to break through, went to the Thunder Iron Mine in the back mountain of the sect to practice, while Dugu Bo, Yu Luomian and Azhu, who had broken through, went to the Xingdou Great Forest to hunt souls.
Everyone planned to help Azhu obtain soul rings first, and then go to the depths of the Xingdou Great Forest to help Yu Luomian hunt souls.
A few days later, in a mountain range outside the Xingdou Great Forest, Dugu Bo and his party came to a steep cliff.
The vines here covered several dilapidated houses, and a winding path led to the back of the house. It can be vaguely seen that many people have lived here, but it doesn't look like a habitat for wild soul beasts.
Because the soul hunting was led by Yu Luomian who was familiar with the situation, Dugu Bo asked in confusion: "It doesn't look like there are fire-attributed soul beasts living here. Are we hunting souls here?"
Hearing this, Yu Luomian smiled and said: "At the end of this path is an abandoned Yanyang iron mine cave. Although the Yanyang iron mine inside has been roughly dug out, there are many fire-attributed soul beasts living in the mine now. Chihuo Academy often comes here to hunt souls."
Hearing Chihuo Academy, Dugu Bo was puzzled and said: "Didn't the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect support the Thunder Academy? How did they know the soul hunting place of Chihuo Academy?"
Yu Luomian smiled with some pride: "The four elemental academies are of the same blood. In addition to the close relationship with the Thunder Academy, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect also has a very good relationship with the Chihuo Academy. Chihuo Academy only told me this place, Dugu Mian, don't tell others."
Dugu Bo said disdainfully: "Don't look down on me, I won't publicize this kind of thing."
Yu Luomian smiled without saying a word, leading everyone along the path to the back of the house.
A cave with a diameter of more than ten meters suddenly appeared under the rock wall, but it was covered by heavy vines, leaving only a gap that people could barely enter.
Yu Luomian took out a map from the soul guide and led the way into the mine, walking deep into the underground along the winding and long main road of the mine.
Because of the Yanyang Iron Mine, the cave is different from the humid and hot Xingdou Forest. It is extremely dry here. It is also because of the dry environment here that the wooden support pillars on the rock wall beside the main road of the mine have not decayed for many years and are still supporting the structure of the mine.
In the Yanyang Iron Mine Cave, a long-abandoned mine, the ground is rugged and the surroundings are extremely dark.
But there are tiny Yanyang iron ore residues everywhere on the rock wall, as if they were traces left by meteors. Under the dim light, these ores will emit a faint light, and the scenery is unique.
Ah Zhu couldn't help asking, "Why are there so many Yanyang ores on the cave wall that have not been collected?"
Hearing this, Dugu Bo also cast a puzzled look at Yu Luomian.
Yu Luomian smiled and said, "The cost of mining in the Xingdou Great Forest is very high, and people only collect large pieces of Yanyang iron. These tiny ores on the cave wall need to be refined again after being mined."
As the crowd continued to go deeper, many miners' skeletons appeared on the roadside, and the temperature was gradually rising. The dry air in the mine made people a little breathless.
A Zhu is a fire attribute soul master and it is easy for him to adapt to this place. But although Dugu Bo and Yu Luomian have a high level of soul power, they are not very comfortable.
The speed of travel in the mine is very slow. Everyone didn't know how long they had walked. Some strange plants gradually began to appear in the depths of the mine, emitting a faint red light in the deep cave.
After walking for several hours without seeing a soul beast, Dugu Bo asked Yu Luomian beside him irritably: "We have been walking for two hours, how come we can't see a soul beast? Is Chihuo Academy lying to you?"
Hearing this, Yu Luomian replied helplessly: "We have walked 80% of the way. If we walk a little further, we will reach the area where soul beasts gather."
Before he finished speaking, a red fire element flew in from the depths of the cave.
It had a fist-sized red core inside it, and only a circle of flames wrapped around the core.
It just floated up and flew towards everyone.
Yu Luomian was quick-witted and raised his hand to use a thunder dragon claw, and the blue lightning hit the crystal core inside it directly.
Under Yu Luomian's attack, the core inside the fire element fell to the ground, with blue lightning flashing on it, and the flames around the core also shrank.
Seeing this, Dugu Bo smiled and said, "This fire elemental aura is just over a thousand years old, which is just right for Ah Zhu's soul ring, but there are still two small bugs behind that need to be dealt with."
After a moment, a ray of light gradually appeared in the mine in the distance.
In the light, everyone could see the face of the dean of Blazing Academy.
Yu Luomian saw that Dugu Bo had a hint of murderous intent, and hurriedly said, "This is one of us, Your Majesty Dugu, please don't do it."
Only after hearing this did Dugu Bo restrain his murderous intent.
At the same time, Huo Zhan also saw Yu Luomian, and shouted with a smile from a distance: "Uncle, long time no see."
"Uncle?"
Dugu Bo and Ah Zhu looked at Yu Luomian with surprise.
Especially Ah Zhu, although she grew up in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect, she had never heard of such a relationship between the sect and Blazing Academy.
Yu Luomian said helplessly: "My sister is the same as Erlong, her martial soul has undergone a fire attribute mutation. But the difference is that Erlong's martial soul mutated into a red dragon, while my sister's martial soul mutated into a one-horned fire dragon. She is Huo Zhan's biological mother."
The two then realized that it was this relationship that made Chihuo Academy reveal the habitat of fire attribute soul beasts to him.
When Huo Zhan came closer, he first said to Dugu Bo: "I am Huo Zhan, and the senior must be His Majesty Dugu."
Dugu Bo replied rather coldly: "It is me."
Huo Zhan greeted the Titled Douluo, and then pulled a red-haired boy beside him and said to Yu Luomian: "This is your nephew, Huo Wushuang."
The red-haired boy was about the same age as Ah Zhu, with a medium build and ordinary appearance, but his eyes were shining with fiery brilliance, and his temperament was extraordinary.
Seeing Yu Luomian, he bowed politely and said, "Hello, uncle."
Yu Luomian smiled and said, "I haven't seen Wushuang for many years. He has grown up so fast. Are you here to hunt souls for him this time?"
Huo Zhan looked at the fire element not far away and smiled at Yu Luomian, "Wushuang's martial soul is also a one-horned fire Tyrannosaurus. I came here to hunt the third soul ring for him this time."
Hearing this, Yu Luomian also understood that this fire element was driven out by them, and said, "This fire element is probably the soul beast that Wushuang wants. I control it here and it is convenient for you to hunt it."
Then he led the two to continue walking deeper into the mine.
