179: Chapter 179 How did you manage to sleep?

Bypassing the ubiquitous Lava Salamanders and Sulfur Bats, the Three Heavenly Kings arrived before a deep cave entrance.

Mo Yu scanned the surroundings listlessly, his gaze falling upon sulfur with bite marks, and he immediately perked up.

"I think we've found a powerful Pet Beast!"

Mo Yu's voice, tinged with excitement, drew attention.

Xu Qingfang and Yue Yun hurriedly looked over, only to hear Mo Yu explain with certainty: "Look at this sulfur.

This sulfur is all scattered, and there are bite marks; there must be Pet Beasts that eat sulfur active nearby.

And look at the terrain of that cave!"

Xu Qingfang and Yue Yun followed his gaze.

A thick river of lava flowed out from the cave, and the magma at the edge of the entrance was splattered, showing clear signs of activity.

Deeper inside, purple light and shadows flickered faintly.

The Pet Beasts in the cave clearly didn't fear magma; they could even live in it as comfortably as if they were taking a bath.

Seeing Xu Qingfang and Yue Yun looking thoughtful, Mo Yu immediately gave his conclusion confidently.

"Based on the habitat and food type, the Pet Beast in the cave is very likely a Molten Throat Dragon!"

The Pet Beast Molten Throat Dragon has a potential rating of A-grade.

Living in high-risk volcanic regions, it possesses both combat and labor attributes, as well as the ability to smelt Ore.

Some smelting factories often raise Molten Throat Dragons or hire Beast Tamers contracted with them to improve work efficiency.

Even among the primarily offensive fire-type Pet Beasts, the Molten Throat Dragon has an extremely high market value due to its excellent combat power and practicality.

The Three Heavenly Kings became visibly excited.

Judging by the scale of the cave, the Molten Throat Dragon inside had already passed its infancy and was within the range of powerful strength.

As long as they could successfully challenge the Molten Throat Dragon, the first day's mission in the Tianluo Secret Realm would be considered a Perfection.

But how could they lure the Molten Throat Dragon out of the cave?

"Leave it to me!" Mo Yu smiled.

After he was promoted to a Two-Star Beast Tamer, the Nether Horse had also learned a new skill.

Skill: Nether Fire!

A grayish-white and ghostly green flame ignited, instantly spreading across the Nether Horse's entire body, making it look like a fire steed from Hell.

The Nether Horse let out a neigh mixed with the sound of burning flames, and under Mo Yu's control, it stepped into the flowing magma.

It didn't sink into the magma; instead, like the steeds described in stories of Hell, the ghost-fire-like horse galloped across the magma.

The Nether Horse followed the flowing magma and broke into the cave where the Molten Throat Dragon resided, and before long, it saw the main subject.

Though called a Dragon, it actually looked more like a lizard.

This Molten Throat Dragon was over five meters long, its entire body covered in a dark volcanic rock shell with flowing orange-red lava patterns, and the surface of the shell was covered in cooled and solidified lava nodules.

The shell at the chest cavity was nearly translucent, revealing a furnace core that continuously emitted high heat and churning molten metal solution inside.

Its hideous head was triangular, its snout filled with serrated teeth glowing red from the heat of the lava, and several rows of lava vents that constantly spewed magma extended along its spine from neck to tail.

Those thick forelimbs stretched out freely as the Molten Throat Dragon lay prone, with crystal-like sharp claws at the ends.

Its eyes, which looked like incandescent bulbs, were half-closed, and combined with its prone posture, it really seemed to be resting.

The Nether Horse found the Molten Throat Dragon fast asleep and became even more audacious, prancing around in front of it.

But no matter how it made the dark volcanic rock ground thud, the Molten Throat Dragon remained unaware and continued to sleep soundly.

Seeing the Molten Throat Dragon sleeping so deeply and thinking of the task given by its Beast Tamer, the Nether Horse thought, how can this be allowed?

"Hee-haw!"

The Nether Horse kicked up its hooves and struck the Molten Throat Dragon.

With the enhancement of the Kick skill, the Molten Throat Dragon was kicked out of its sweet dream by the Nether Horse's powerful hoof.

It looked in a daze at the Nether Horse that had appeared in its cave and in front of it.

The Nether Horse's uneven eyes flashed with the light of wisdom, and it tilted its head as if admonishing the Molten Throat Dragon.

How can you sleep?

At your age, at this stage, you can sleep? Have you no ambition?

The Molten Throat Dragon's incandescent-bulb-like eyes flickered repeatedly.

This Nether Horse from nowhere had not only disturbed its sleep but also dared to lecture it like this, as if disappointed it wasn't living up to its potential.

If this can be tolerated, what cannot!

The molten metal solution inside the Molten Throat Dragon's body churned violently, and a berserk flame erupted from the furnace core.

Dazzling firelight instantly filled the entire cave. Seeing that its goal was achieved, the Nether Horse immediately bolted out.

The furious Molten Throat Dragon followed closely behind.

Outside the cave, the Three Heavenly Kings were waiting expectantly.

The Nether Horse, transformed into ghostly green flames, appeared before them, with a huge fireball following closely behind, shot toward the trio's position.

"Holy crap!"

The Three Heavenly Kings' eyes instantly widened.

Yue Yun didn't hesitate, grabbing Xu Qingfang and Mo Yu to retreat to the side, narrowly avoiding the fireball.

The fireball that brushed past them landed behind, and the concentrated magma instantly released a deafening explosion.

The explosion of the fireball made the ground tremble slightly.

Also making the ground tremble was that furious Molten Throat Dragon, bathed in magma, as it crawled out of the cave.

Xu Qingfang was instantly attracted by its majestic and domineering appearance.

"This Molten Throat Dragon is pretty cool!"

"Forget about that for now, it's coming towards us!"

Mo Yu swallowed hard.

The furious Molten Throat Dragon's gaze locked onto the Three Heavenly Kings, and it immediately realized these three Beast Tamers were the culprits.

Its heavy body turned to approach the Three Heavenly Kings, its Three-Star level Aura comparable to that of a Four-Star Pet Beast.

Skill: Magma Eruption!

The lava vents on its back glowed, and scalding magma erupted from them, delivering an area attack against the Three Heavenly Kings.

Xu Qingfang's eyes suddenly burst with azure lightning, and tiny electric arcs leaped in his eyes, instantly perceiving the entire situation.

The Beast Taming Talent [Thunder Emperors Pupil] quietly activated.

Xu Qingfang's dynamic vision and reaction speed were significantly enhanced, allowing him to accurately see through the weak points in the energy flow.

"Thunderwing Slash!"

Surging lightning instantly erupted, gathering on the wings of the Thunderwing Griffin, condensing into a lightning blade that seemed capable of slashing open the sky.

The lightning blades crisscrossed in the air along their trajectories, flipping and flying like dancing butterflies, precisely slicing through the splashing magma so it couldn't come a step closer.

Seeing this, the Molten Throat Dragon, which was crushing forward like a chariot, immediately stopped, shook off the magma, and let out a roar toward the sky.

"Aow-Rumble!"

The heavy dragon roar sounded like a volcanic explosion, and an invisible magic seemed to envelop the Three Heavenly Kings, making them feel the urge to attack.

The Molten Throat Dragon released a taunt skill to control the battle.

However, the Three Heavenly Kings were there for the Molten Throat Dragon in the first place and had no intention of running away.

"Old Yue!"

"Old Xu!"

Xu Qingfang and Yue Yun revealed perverted-like smiles.

The lightning on the wings of the Thunderwing Griffin circling high above completely withdrew, and azure electric arcs constantly crackled in the unbalanced high-pressure zone, forging a Spear of the Thunder God that compressed celestial might.

A grayish-white Pet Beast contract flashed, and Miao Sang, looking like a long-haired orange cat, landed on Yue Yun's head, followed by the rising of a surging golden Qi flame.

"Thunder-Accompanied Yue Slash!"
