137: underground cave
After the Frost Dragon unleashed its ice-sealing Ability, its entire aura weakened.
Shen Yi slammed his gun onto the ground with force, and the previously ice-sealed ground began to crack, with streams ofBlue flame quickly assailing the Frost Dragon along the fissures.
It retreated rapidly, but the flames were incredibly fast, appearing before it in the blink of an eye.
Ordinary Fire Ability might have no effect on it, not even burning through its skin.
However, Shen Yi's Soul-Scorching Flame, which he gained after his second awakening, directly penetrated its skin, burning its soul.
TheBlue flame instantly spread across its entire body; the Frost Dragon tried to isolate the flames with a layer of ice on its surface, but it had no effect.
When these flames touched the ice layer, the ice showed no signs of melting, as if the flames had no temperature.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss!!!"
The burning of the flames made the Frost Dragon let out painful hisses, writhing continuously on the ground.
Seizing the opportunity, Shen Yi gripped the gun with both hands and, with all his might, slammed it into its vital spot.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Three consecutive hits on its vital spot made it even more irritable.
Snakes are naturally meant to coil around enemies, but at this moment, it was completely disoriented.
It charged at Shen Yi with its head, and Shen Yi fought while retreating.
"Too strong, it's still not dead even after all that."
Shen Yi was very surprised; this creature's vitality was too powerful; any other fierce beast would have been smashed into a pulp by now.
Gradually, Shen Yi was forced back to the place where he had rested earlier.
TheBlue flame on the Frost Dragon's body also began to dim, and if one looked closely, they could see blue blood flowing from its mouth.
As soon as the blood touched the ground, it turned into ice crystals.
It arched its body and attacked Shen Yi again.
"Boom!"
Shen Yi dodged, and the Frost Dragon's body crashed into the mountain behind him, creating a huge hole.
At this point, the Frost Dragon's consciousness was already blurring; this was just its body fighting instinctively.
Strike while the iron is hot.
Its body was stuck in the hole, and Shen Yi picked up his weapon, attacking relentlessly with "Boom, boom, boom!"
Finally, the Frost Dragon could no longer endure; its life aura slowly vanished, stuck in the hole, completely motionless.
Shen Yi still did not relax, once again using the tip of his gun to stab its body.
This time, the entire gun head easily plunged into its body without any resistance.
Finally, after confirming its death three times, Shen Yi let out a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground.
Entering the Otherworld, he hadn't expected the first battle to be so difficult.
This Frost Dragon was at least a Fourth-Tier, and its body's defense was simply impenetrable.
He understood that the reason he was able to win this battle was due to the influence of the surrounding environment on the Frost Dragon's strength.
Fierce beasts like the Frost Dragon only appear in extremely cold places; he had specifically researched these fierce beasts before.
They can only survive in cold Otherworlds, and its appearance here truly puzzled Shen Yi.
This indicated that there must be an extremely cold place within the Blackwind Mountains.
After resting, Shen Yi went to the Frost Dragon's corpse and forcefully pulled it out of the hole.
The Frost Dragon was full of treasures, even its blood was precious.
If Ice Ability could absorb its blood, the power of the Ice Ability could be elevated by a notch.
Before it completely stiffened, Shen Yi took out a dagger from his bracelet, intending to drain its blood.
As soon as he cut its skin, blue blood flowed out, turning into ice crystals upon contact with the air.
Grain by grain, it was quite beautiful.
"This saves me the trouble of using a bottle."
Shen Yi had originally taken out a bottle, but seeing that it had all turned into ice crystals, he simply put it into a small box.
Before setting off, Ji Yan had taken him to buy many bottles and jars for storing things.
He had also cram-studied various spiritual herbs, gems, and other items found in the Otherworld.
First, he peeled off the Frost Dragon's hide and stored it in a special box.
Creatures like the Frost Dragon are rarely seen; except for a few specific special Otherworlds, they are almost nonexistent elsewhere.
Even in those few special Otherworlds, there wouldn't be too many, and they are always elusive.
Then he put the snake gall into a small bottle.
Although its grade was not high, it was still very sought after outside.
These items had to be processed in advance, otherwise, if left for too long, the entire body would turn into ice crystals.
"Huh, what is this? It doesn't look like a treasure bead of special power."
While cleaning up the Frost Dragon's corpse, he discovered aDark blue beads dug out from its body; he sensed it, it wasn't a treasure bead of special power, so he didn't think much of it and threw it into his storage bracelet.
After tidying everything up, Shen Yi sat on the ground, caught his breath, and lit a bonfire again.
As soon as he leaned against the mountain behind him, he felt a chill on his back, and Shen Yi quickly got up.
He was too familiar with this chill; the chill emanating from the Frost Dragon felt exactly like this.
He picked up his weapon and carefully looked around, but found nothing.
After a careful search, he found that the chill was coming from the hole the Frost Dragon had smashed into the mountain behind him.
He came to the mouth of the hole; it was too dark to see anything, so he threw a ball of flame inside.
He saw that the inside of the mountain was actually blue.
"Could its lair be in this mountain?"
Shen Yi stroked his chin, thinking that the Frost Dragon had charged towards him earlier, probably because his resting spot was right at its lair.
He looked around and indeed found an entrance.
In the corner of the giant rock to his left, there was a hole about ten centimeters in diameter, covered by weeds, which he hadn't noticed at first.
However, such a small hole was clearly too small for him to enter.
Coupled with the poor light at night, he was afraid there might be more inside.
He simply changed locations, planning to return and check again when it was light.
He found a random spot and rested for the night.
The next morning, Shen Yi returned to the same spot from last night.
He circled the mountain but found no other entrances.
Just as he was about to give up, on the other side of the mountain, he discovered a cave.
A faint chill also emanated from within.
Shen Yi hesitated at the entrance for a long time, but ultimately decided to go inside and take a look.
Just as he was about to enter.
[Ding~]
[Option One: Enter and kill the Frost Dragon King inside (Note: The Frost Dragon King is currently entering its shedding period, and its body is very weak.) Reward: Ability Technique, Divine Punishment Flame]
[Option Two: Return to the base, notify Ji Yan, and act together. Reward: Ability Level +1]
[Option Three: Have no interest in what's inside, quietly leave. Reward: Freely assignable attribute point +1]
Looking at the options before him, good heavens, it was a good thing he didn't rush in immediately.
Just by the name, he knew that what was inside was something he couldn't deal with at all.
The Frost Dragon King, even in its shedding phase, he probably couldn't break its defense.
The reward given for the first option, just by its name, he knew it definitely wasn't a low-level Ability Technique.
After attending university, he learned that Ability Techniques also have levels.
An ordinary Ability Technique, like Reconnaissance which he learned before, could only be considered an F-rank Ability Technique.
The Divine-rank treasure bead of special power he acquired earliest belonged to S-rank.
The name of the Ability Technique in the first option contained the word "Divine," and he felt it was another Divine-rank Ability Technique.
