Chapter 270: 264: Beginning of Evolution
In the pitch-black and bottomless mountain path, David Jones held Daphne in one hand and grabbed Rainbow’s dragon horn with the other, rapidly descending.
The darkness m the path concealed everything, seemingly making people forget the passage of time.
Not knowing how long it had been, David Jones suddenly noticed a red light below and couldn’t help but feel refreshed.
Quickly, Rainbows speed began to slow down as the red light grew increasingly intense, finally escaping the mountain path and coming to a stable stop in mid-air.
Looking at the scene that appeared before him, David Jones was slightly stunned.
As if in a world of flames, blazing red lava erupted everywhere, sending out explosions of crisp sounds.
“This is a proper place for Fire-type Pets to evolve. The Fire-type Arcane Force is truly terrifying!”
Seeing the seemingly substantial Fire-type Energy around him, David Jones couldn’t help but exclaim.
If it wasn’t for Audrey’s recommendation, it would have been difficult to find such a suitable evolution spot.
!!..
“How does it feel? Should we go deeper?”
David Jones looked down at Daphne.
“Meow!” (It’s great right here!)
An excited expression appeared on Daphne’s face.
“Then let’s begin,” David Jones said with a smile.
At this moment, Rainbow suddenly looked towards the boiling lava below, her majestic Dragon Eyes full of caution.
“Yi!” (There’s something!)
Hearing this, David Jones was slightly surprised.
Completely different from the edge zone and volcanic zone, there should be no Beasts living as an evolution site within the depths!
“Oh, an interesting little fellow. You actually managed to find me,” an intrigued voice suddenly spoke up.
At this point, the already violent Lava River seemed to be stirred up by something, gathering into a surging wave of magma, and beneath the huge wave, a boundless figure gradually appeared.
The first thing that caught David Jones’ eyes was a giant, hook-shaped upper and lower jaw, sharp as an eagle’s beak. Then, two curved red horns growing backward from the skull, followed finally by a pair of wise eyes and an extremely long neck.
Looking at the awe-inspiring scene before him, David Jones couldn’t help but swallow.
This unknown Beast’s head alone was enough to eclipse the sun, making it hard to imagine just how enormous its body was!
Little fellow, are you the Trainer recommended by Miss Tan?”
Hearing this sentence, and noticing the scrutinizing gaze of the colossal Beast, David Jones felt a sudden relief, and the signal stone in his hand loosened.
“Yes, senior.”
using his peripheral vision, David Jones stealthily glanced at the terrifying Beast in front of him. If he wasn’t mistaken, this Beast should be the Guardian of Turtle Island Volcano, a Seventh-tier Overlord Beast – Lava Turtle.
It was said that the Commander Level VI Flame Spin Turtle could evolve into a King Level Sunrise Spin Turtle and then from a Sunrise Spin Turtle into an Overlord Level Lava Turtle.
David Jones had initially thought it was merely a rumor; he never expected a small Dungeon like Turtle Island Volcano to have an Overlord Guardian in reality.
“It’s a good thing I didn’t attack that Flame Spin Turtle blocking the boiling crater!”
Seeing the domineering Lava Turtle in front of him, David Jones couldn’t help but give himself kudos for being cautious.
“Not bad, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen such an interesting Trainer like you!”
The Lava Turtle took a deep look at David Jones and his Pets.
“In consideration of Miss Tan, I will let you experience the Crustal Heart-returning Earth Fire. Remember, don’t touch the Heart-returning Earth Fire there.”
With that, the Lava Turtle spewed out an enormous lava column towards the Sea of Lava.
For a time, large waves of lava began to surround the lava column, forming an extremely special fire channel.
Go in, through this channel, you can reach the Crustal Core directly.”
“Thank you, senior.” David Jones bowed gratefully.
Just as he was about to enter the channel, a voice suddenly sounded.
“Wait!”
David looked at the Lava Turtle with confusion.
“I almost forgot; with the strength of you and your pet, you would be turned to ashes by the extreme heat in the Crustal Core. Before entering, please put this stone on both you and your pet.”
[Fire-Resist Glaze]: Level VI Fire-type Pet Resource, a glaze stone made from the discarded shell of the Lava Turtle. After wearing it, one will have the ability to dissipate high temperatures and survive in the Crustal Core.
“This…”
Looking at the Fire-Resist Glaze that flew into his hand from the Lava Turtle’s body, David’s expression stiffened.
If it wasn’t for Lolo’s protection, even without the Fire-Resist Glaze, he would still be able to survive in the Crustal Core. If it were someone else, they might have gone straight down, and it would have been a matter of life and death.
After putting the Fire-Resist Glaze on himself and his pet, David, who was feeling somewhat unreliable, tentatively reached out to feel the temperature of the fire channel. Only after confirming that it was safe did he step in with confidence.
Watching David’s disappearing figure, the Lava Turtle slowly sank into the Sea of Lava.
“I couldn’t find a trace of the Power of Destiny in the three thousand years I’ve spent searching. Could it be that the so-called Power of Destiny Saint Ingersoll mentioned is just a casual joke?”
With such doubts, the Lava Turtle began to delve deeper into the ground, then continued to search for the illusory Power of Destiny in the legend.
In the depths of the silent Crustal Core, a young figure gradually appeared, wrapped in a layer of faint red protective shield.
“Is this the Heart-returning Earth Fire?”
Looking at the pitch-black, mysterious flame not far away, David activated his Illusion-Piercing Eye.
[Heart-returning Earth Fire]: Level VII Fire-type SS tier resource, a mysterious flame born in the heart of the Earth’s crust. It contains the apocalyptic power to trigger a super-volcanic eruption and is also an Epic Earth Fire that can create and even reshape the Earth. The aura it emits can increase the evolution success rate of Fire-type pets.
At the moment when the information about Heart-returning Earth Fire emerged in his mind, David couldn’t help but reveal an excited smile.
Although he’s forbidden to touch it, being able to rub against the majestic fire energy emitted by the Heart-returning Earth Fire would make him quite satisfied.
“I can finally start the evolution.”
“Mew!” (“V”*) (Okay!)
Seeing that Daphne was ready, David took out all the prepared evolution resources from the Star Ring.
Fire Essence Crystals, Refined Crystals, Fire Pattern Herbs, Crystal Vines, and the Purple Tiger Magic Core are all essential evolution resources for the Flame Ragdoll.
In addition, David had also added three high-level pet resources: Solar Seeds, Flamebreaker Dragon Core, and Flame Unicorn Core.
Since he’s already used Level VII and Level VI pet resources, David’s goal is certainly not just to create a Commander level Flame Ragdoll.
Moreover, unlike Heart-returning Earth Fire, Daphne had a higher resistance
to Solar Flame after refining the Solar Seeds multiple times.
“Should I use three high-level Dragon Crystals for this evolution? Or should I
go all in with nine high-level Dragon Crystals!”
Looking at Daphne’s eager face, David clenched his teeth, and made up his mind in his heart..
