Chapter 179 The Eyes of the Striped Dragon
This giant mushroom is indeed sturdy; even a massive fire lizard can move freely on it.
However, it left many holes in the umbrella canopy.
The salamander chased after its prey, but the small, mouse-like creature scurried into the mushroom hole and escaped.
Then it naturally set its sights on Cheng Feng, who looked rather silly.
The salamander suffered from a lack of education; a normal tiger would at least observe from the shadows before encountering a human.
It charged at Cheng Feng without saying a word, but it collapsed after only a few seconds.
Having dealt with the salamander that had come to him, Cheng Feng continued his journey towards the volcano above the mushroom forest.
The mushroom forest stretches all the way to the foot of the volcano. In some places, the terrain is uneven, but most of it is roughly level.
This saved Cheng Feng a lot of trouble, since the terrain below was much more complex than that above.
After descending from the mushroom forest, Cheng Feng found a suitable path to ascend the mountain at the foot of the volcano.
Not sparing his energy, Cheng Feng leaped and grabbed a crevice between the volcanic rocks, forcefully pushing off the protruding rock face with both feet.
He climbed upwards at lightning speed, like a monkey.
When they reached the halfway point of the mountain, a fire lizard suddenly rolled down from above and crashed straight at Cheng Feng.
Faced with the gift delivered to his door, Cheng Feng opened the Boundless Demon Eye without saying a word and threw it into the Naiqiong Divine Ice.
One specimen is enough; it's just lucky that it was born.
Having resolved this minor hiccup, Cheng Feng made his way smoothly to the summit of the volcano.
Just like what Cheng Feng saw in the distance, there was a small island in the middle of a volcano, with a man-made platform on it.
The island is in a rather unique location, surrounded at its center by lava that has not yet dried up.
According to Cheng Feng's observation, there used to be a road leading to the island.
Perhaps because of the earthquake, the magma in the crater had boiled quite a bit, making it difficult for Cheng Feng to get across now.
Cheng Feng looked at the distance, which was about twenty meters.
Then, after moving backward to the edge of the volcanic cliff, leaving enough distance, the wind suddenly surged forward at high speed.
Before reaching the lava, Cheng Feng leaped into the air, seemingly gliding across the twenty-meter distance.
Finally, it landed steadily on a small island in the center of the volcano.
The temperature here is higher, and the smell of sulfur is stronger.
Cheng Feng felt that this place resembled the habitat of fire salamanders, so in order to kill fewer rare creatures, Cheng Feng quickly walked towards the platform on the island.
When Cheng Feng arrived nearby, he saw a passage leading into the interior of the volcano.
Actually, this volcano was once part of the Demon Kingdom, but it was an extinct volcano at the time and had no lava.
The Demon Kingdom yearned for darkness and the underground, so they built the altar inside the volcano.
It must have been a major earthquake that later ruptured the magma chamber of this volcano, which is why it is in its current state.
Reaching this point proves that Cheng Feng is not far from his destination.
Moreover, there is a powerful adversary waiting for Cheng Feng to eliminate there.
"I wonder if the evil spirit controlling the mine can withstand my Emperor Yan bloodline?"
Even though the outcome is still unknown, Cheng Feng is full of confidence.
The Great Black Heaven Thunder Mountain attacks by targeting mineral veins and human eyes.
Coincidentally, Cheng Feng's eyes are Boundless Demon Eyes, which are immune to attacks from the Great Black Heaven Thunder Mountain based on the eyes.
As for the mineral vein, Cheng Feng was somewhat wary, but not afraid. Based on the information he remembered,
As long as it doesn't step barefoot on the ground, it's unlikely to cause any effective damage to Cheng Feng.
The only difficulty is how to get rid of it, since its main body is parasitic in the mineral vein.
Unable to come up with a perfect solution at the moment, Cheng Feng stopped dwelling on the problem.
Since we have the means to protect ourselves, we can find a solution later.
After entering the passage leading into the volcano, Cheng Feng discovered many collapsed areas.
Fortunately, the passageway is still barely clear, although some parts require some effort to clear.
The exposed part of this volcano is not very high, but the part buried underground is very deep.
Cheng Feng silently calculated the distance he had traveled along the way.
When he reached the bottom of the volcano, he should have been more than 100 meters underground.
This is a well-preserved palace passageway, with some of the murals on both sides peeling off.
Many eye totems are still visible, and there are damaged areas above the passage, which means there are a lot of rubble and debris inside.
Cheng Feng walked forward along the passage and soon arrived at a spacious hall.
The area is surrounded by exposed volcanic rock, and the ground is paved with stone slabs carved with exquisite patterns.
There are two broken lampposts burning all around, leading along the empty temple to the stone gate ahead.
Cheng Feng's gaze swept over the volcanic rocks in the corner of the temple, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
"I've finally found you!"
As he spoke, Cheng Feng stepped out towards a corner of the temple.
Before he could go far, a colossal creature nearly ten meters long suddenly pounced out of the shadows.
The gaping maw was large enough to swallow Cheng Feng whole.
But Cheng Feng, who was prepared, remained calm and drew his Fish Intestine Sword, then lightly tapped his toes and leaped backward.
He gracefully dodged the attacker's attack.
With a bang, the monster crashed onto the hard ground, cracking large sections of the stone slabs.
The monster was covered in black and white stripes, and its scales were as hard as iron and densely packed. It was the main culprit in the mission to eliminate the spotted dragon.
This striped dragon is much stronger than the one at the Gate of Calamity.
Moreover, they are at least three meters apart in height.
After discovering that its prey had escaped its attack, it did not stop and immediately continued its charge towards Cheng Feng.
"We can't let it get too damaged this time, or we'll have to find someone to fix it."
Thinking this, Cheng Feng disappeared from the spot like a ghost, arriving on the top of the spotted dragon before it could react.
This is on land; it wouldn't be too difficult for Cheng Feng to kill such a large creature.
Their powerful bodies inevitably limit their agility and reaction speed.
"Thanks to the contributions of your kind, I have come to understand the basic structure of your kind of creatures."
As he spoke, Cheng Feng found the right spot and thrust the Fish Intestine Sword downwards.
The sword blade shattered the scales on its head with unstoppable force, then plunged into the brain of the spotted dragon without any hindrance.
'Ding~'
The mission to eliminate the striped dragon is complete.
Reward: Eight Trigrams Corpse-Suppressing Nail
Do you wish to collect it?
"Keep it; we don't need it here for now."
The Eight Trigrams Corpse-Suppressing Nail is a secret treasure among the Three Nails and Four Armor of the Mountain-Moving Sect, comparable to the Heavenly Official Seal of the Tomb Raider when dealing with corpses.
But this Demon Kingdom doesn't even have a corpse that can be preserved intact; if it were taken out, Cheng Feng would just throw it into the imaginary space.
Cheng Feng jumped off the still struggling striped dragon and waited patiently by its side.
Five minutes later, the striped serpent's nerve reflex arc finally went completely still.
Cheng Feng then walked up to the corpse of the spotted dragon and used the Fish Intestine Sword to remove its two basketball-sized eyeballs.
"The ritual only says that eyes are needed, but it doesn't stipulate that they must be human, right?"
