Chapter 167: Chapter 167 Black Water Flood Dragon
Holding the Jade Spirit Pearl in his right hand, Blaze Regret infused it with spiritual energy. Immediately, a thin membrane appeared around his body. After the Master Magi withdrew the golden light shield, the delicate membrane effortlessly kept the river water at bay.
Even more astonishing to Blaze Regret was that his vision underwater had greatly improved. He could clearly see scenes dozens of meters away.
"This is truly a great item!" Blaze Regret smiled as he moved to the right, where dozens of Blue Inscription Grass plants were growing on a protruding rock. This rare medicinal herb could not be found in ordinary shops.
Under the protection of the Ice Control Irenix, Blaze Regret collected all the Blue Inscription Grass, which emitted a faint blue glow, and stored them in the void Realm Stone. He was just short of one Lava Fruit, and then he would have all the ingredients needed to refine the Qi Recovery Pill.
"Blaze Regret, hide under the rock!"
Master Magi's voice suddenly echoed. Without thinking, Blaze Regret sank down. After a while, the river remained still. Just as he started to feel puzzled, a chilling black shadow slowly swam by.
Although the black shadow seemed to move slowly to Blaze Regret, the watertype spirit beasts were terrified, frantically fleeing in the opposite direction. Some with special abilities quickly burrowed into the riverbed mud.
"Bloop, bloop~"
Transparent bubbles rose, and a spirit beast resembling a long snake swam by. Its body was covered with cold, sinister scales, and a pair of enormous transparent wings extended from its sides, making its already agile body even more maneuverable.
"A Black Water Flood Dragon?" Blaze Regret's heart skipped a beat at the sight of the approaching figure.
The Black Water Flood Dragon starts at a high tier imperial grade, but this one had already reached a low tier lord grade. In the Black water River, it was undoubtedly a dominant force!
The Black Water Flood Dragon opened its bloody maw and bit into a Water Ink Turtle. With a crack, the turtle's shell shattered, and its crimson blood spread through the murky riverbed. The hiding spirit beasts held their breath in fear.
The Water Ink Turtle was large, and even the Black Water Flood Dragon took nearly a quarter of an hour to finish devouring it. The fullness in its belly made its swimming movements slow considerably.
"Phew!"
Seeing the Black Water Flood Dragon leave, Blaze Regret quietly exhaled in relief. Beside him, Master Magi's eyes suddenly narrowed, staring intently at a particular scale on the Black Water Flood Dragon.
"What's wrong?" Blaze Regret asked Master Magi in confusion.
"Remember, little one, when I told you about mystic Beasts?" Master Magi looked at Blaze Regret and spoke slowly.
"Have you found its trace?" Blaze Regret's breath caught, and his gaze swept around urgently.
Mystic Beasts are anomalies among spirit beasts. Each one has the ability to challenge across levels. Even the powerful spirit masters at the summit of the continent covet mystic Beasts. Owning one is akin to having a ticket to becoming a future superpower!
"Wood attribute," Master Magi suddenly spoke.
"What?" Blaze Regret turned back, looking at Master Magi in surprise.
"Did you see that leaf under the Black Water Flood Dragon's scales? It probably came from a wood attributed mystic Beast," Master Magi pointed at the Black Water Flood Dragon and said softly.
Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret's mouth twitched. What was this about? He thought they'd found a mystic Beast, but it turned out to be just a leaf! That kind of thing, he could easily collect an entire pocketful of in any forest! Find your next read at m_v l|e-NovelBin.net
"Don't be in a hurry. That leaf looks very fresh, likely having fallen off not long ago. At least we can determine that the mystic Beast is still active within the Sun Moon Empire and isn't too far from here," Master Magi explained upon seeing Blaze Regret's speechless expression.
"If we retrieve that leaf, can we trace the mystic Beast from its aura?" Blaze Regret's eyes brightened, and he asked urgently.
"The aura of a mystic Beast is very distinctive, so it is feasible," Master Magi nodded gently. As he looked up, he saw Blaze Regret already clutching the jade Spirit Pearl and rushing out at top speed.
"Are you out of your mind?" Master Magi's expression changed slightly. The Black Water Flood Dragon was a lord grade spirit beast, and Blaze Regret was as vulnerable as a child in front of it, utterly defenseless!
After swiftly dispatching a few water type spirit beasts that suddenly appeared, Master Magi hurriedly followed. With his extensive knowledge, he naturally understood how enticing a mystic Beast was to a spirit master. Blaze Regret's reaction was not surprising at all.
There was once a large empire called the Black Rock Empire, where a water attributed mystic Beast named Seven Star Child appeared. It instantly caused a bloody storm, with even powerful Spirit sovereigns fighting to the death. The number of fallen Spirit king experts could fill an entire city.
If Blaze Regret had heard this, he would have been astonished. Even the monarch of the Sun Moon Empire didn't possess the power of a Spirit sovereigns. A single Spirit sovereigns could easily dominate the entire Sun Moon Empire. Such a powerful entity was still too far beyond his reach.
The Black Water Flood Dragon, sensing the disturbance behind it, glanced back. In its enormous eyes, a trace of ferocity flashed.
"Whoosh!"
The Black Water Flood Dragon suddenly turned around, and from its wide open mouth, a massive water column, about ten feet wide, shot out, tearing through the river's resistance, and headed straight for Blaze Regret.
"Ice Control Irenix, Ice Prism!"
Upon hearing Blaze Regret's command, the Ice Control Irenix's wings fluttered, and a bone chilling cold gathered in front of it, forming a round mirror. The shiny ice surface stood out conspicuously in the dim river water.
The water column collided with the Ice Prism, emitting a cracking sound as the hard mirror instantly shattered.
