Chapter 355: Monster, Absorption

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Xu Ning quickly rushed towards the highest volcano.

‘There should be a terrifying creature in that volcano, maybe it is a monster cultivated by an arcanist…’?

The closer he got, the more Xu Ning could feel the terrifying aura of the volcano.

Sure enough, Xu Ning cautiously touched the crater. He looked into the crater while guarding against the magma.

‘It really is a monster created by the power of an arcanist!’

In the magma of the volcano, a monster covered in golden scales was soaked in it.

There were strange lines on its scales that had been altered by the power of an arcanist.

Its body was extremely large, almost filling the entire inner area of the volcano.

The monster’s head, neck, and back were exposed, while its torso and limbs were soaked in magma, as if it was in a hot spring.

The monster closed its eyes and breathed heavily, not sensing Xu Ning’s approach.

‘This monster should be in deep sleep… That low roar just now should be the ravings in its sleep…’

Xu Ning felt a huge pressure coming from this monster.

‘The strength of this monster should be comparable to an elementary ninth stage. The current me is no match for it…’

Xu Ning carefully observed it.?‘If it hadn’t fallen asleep, it might have sensed my existence and smashed my clone…’

‘The ones who could create a monster of such a level should be the three rank ten arcanists who built this tower…’

Xu Ning guessed.

‘Huh?’

When Xu Ning looked away from the monster, he suddenly noticed that there were densely packed brown crystals embedded in the inner wall of the volcano.

These crystals had the same color as the inner walls. If one didn’t look carefully, they would easily be ignored.

‘Those are… Rock Flame Crystals!’

Xu Ning quickly recognized the brown crystals.

Rock Flame Crystals were an extremely precious arcane technique resource.

When Xu Ning was in the Barren Wind Region, the Ice Feather Institute had given him a Rock Flame Crystal before.

‘If I absorb this many flame crystals, I can at least obtain more than 3 million units of energy…’

Xu Ning was a little excited.

He had just entered the tower, but he had already encountered such a large amount of resources, which was quite unexpected.

However, it was not easy to obtain these flame crystals.

If he entered the volcano and leaned against the inner wall to pry off these flame crystals, it was very likely that he would wake up the monster in the magma.

This would definitely be extremely dangerous.

‘I have to think of a way out first…’

Xu Ning thought.?‘It’s best to find the teleportation gate of this independent space first. This way, even if I alert the monster, I can teleport to another independent space and escape danger…’

After thinking about this, Xu Ning slowly walked away from the volcano and went to find the teleportation gate.

Xu Ning took about two hours to find the teleportation gate that was at the foot of a small volcano.

Xu Ning felt more at ease with a way to retreat.

Afterwards, he returned to the highest volcano and went down from the mouth of the volcano. He leaned against the inner wall and prepared to pick some flame crystals.

‘I should just absorb it…’

Xu Ning wanted to take off the Rock Flame Crystal first, but after thinking about it more, it was obviously more efficient to absorb it directly.

Xu Ning’s finger touched a palm-sized flame crystal.

…

Discovered 5100 units of energy, absorb?

Yes / No

…

‘Yes.’

Xu Ning absorbed the energy in the Rock Flame Crystal.

After Xu Ning finished absorbing the energy, the flame crystal turned into powder and fell into the bubbling magma.

Xu Ning repeated his previous actions and absorbed the flame crystals.

Xu Ning absorbed the energy while staring at the monster, in case it suddenly woke up and attacked.

Time slowly passed by. Most of the flame crystals embedded in the inner wall of the volcano had been absorbed by Xu Ning.

Only the flame crystals above the monster’s head had not been absorbed yet.

‘Should I take the risk and absorb the flame crystals above the monster’s head?’

Xu Ning was still weighing his options.

If he took the risk to absorb them, it was very likely to wake this monster up.

Even though he had found the teleportation gate, he was still not 100% confident that he could escape to the teleportation gate.

But if he just gave up like this, Xu Ning would feel extremely unfortunate.

The quality of the flame crystals embedded in the area above the monster’s head was obviously higher.

The energy contained in them would be extremely rich.

‘Before I began absorbing these flame crystals, I estimated that after absorbing all the flame crystals, I would be able to obtain 3 million units of energy. But now, I have already absorbed 3.5 million units of energy… If I absorb those top-quality flame crystals above the head of the monster, the energy I will get in total this time should exceed 5 million units.’

Xu Ning hesitated for a moment before finally deciding to take the risk.

He was a rank seven arcanist. Even if he woke up the monster, although he was not 100% sure he could escape to the teleportation gate, it should not be too difficult.

After making up his mind, Xu Ning gently climbed to the top of the monster.

Just like before, he began to absorb the high-quality flame crystals.

‘As expected of a high-quality Rock Flame Crystal, the energy contained in it is five to ten times that of the previous Rock Flame Crystals!’

Xu Ning quickly absorbed the energy. His remaining units of energy were about to reach 10 million.

Finally, there were only five or six more flame crystals left.

However, just when Xu Ning was about to continue absorbing, he suddenly noticed that the monster’s breathing had stopped.

He looked down subconsciously and saw that the sleeping monster had opened its eyes.

A pair of cold, terrifying eyes stared at him.

‘Not good, I am discovered!’

Xu Ning made a prompt decision. He waved his hand and put away the remaining Rock Flame Crystals.

Afterwards, he activated his full strength and jumped out of the volcano.

Behind Xu Ning, there was a roar, followed by a burst of terrifying aura. Immediately after, magma spewed out with a loud rumble.

‘Run!’

Xu Ning fled towards the teleportation gate.

A light membrane condensed around his body, protecting him completely.

This was an arcane domain that could only be activated by existences above rank seven arcanists.

This arcane domain was condensed by all the arcane techniques of the arcanist, which was similar to the true domain of the Martial Arts World.

However, the power of an arcane domain was obviously greater. After all, a true domain was only a void realm technique.

Xu Ning fled frantically.

Behind him, the monster had already jumped out of the volcano.. Its huge body stepped on the ground as it furiously chased after Xu Ning.
