Chapter 204

The Ancient Fire Dragon was both shocked and angry, shaking its head incessantly, and even went so far as to unleash its fire breath, trying to force Tang Zheng, who had entered its throat, out.

But it had no effect at all!

In the Ancient Fire Dragon's perception, Tang Zheng had already traveled down its throat and completely entered its abdomen.

A feeling of fear surged!

Boom—

"Human!"

The Ancient Fire Dragon flapped its wings, desperately rushing toward the surface of the magma sea.

And at this moment.

Tang Zheng, who had burrowed into the Ancient Fire Dragon's stomach, could feel the pressure coming from all directions.

In the deep, dark space.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

The sound of vibrations like a drumstick hitting a drumhead kept coming; that was the Ancient Fire Dragon's heartbeat.

Acidic, sulfur-scented solution began to surge continuously from the Ancient Fire Dragon's stomach.

Facing this situation.

Tang Zheng not only didn't care at all, but a smile flashed in his fish-eye gaze.

The plan was even more successful than imagined.

Mainly because this method of attack was completely outside the Ancient Fire Dragon's expectations, and the other party also didn't know he had mastered teleportation magic.

That was why he could succeed in one fell swoop.

Using "Greater Teleport," Tang Zheng could have completely left the magma sea directly without having to specifically enter the Ancient Fire Dragon's stomach.

The reason he did so!

Was because Tang Zheng had to deal with the Ancient Fire Dragon.

As a long-lived dragon race, the other party must have experienced the Thirteen Heroes era, and perhaps even the Eight Greed Kings era.

And as fellow dragons, the Ancient Fire Dragon and the Platinum Dragon Lord were likely acquainted; compared to the Slane Theocracy, which he hadn't directly confronted.

As long as this Ancient Fire Dragon wasn't stupid, it could likely realize immediately that there was something wrong with him!

In a situation where such intelligence was likely to be leaked.

Tang Zheng had to deal with the other party to be completely at ease.

This was also the most important reason why he rushed back immediately after finishing off that group of Gray Dwarves in the "Valley of Despair."

"The one who likes to burrow into the stomach to solve opponents is that monkey."

This thought flashed through Tang Zheng's mind inexplicably, and his movements didn't pause for a second; with a move of his consciousness, a scroll appeared beside him again.

Opening his fish mouth, he bit down on this scroll!

"Greater Teleport"!

Inside the magma sea.

The Ancient Fire Dragon, which was rushing madly toward the surface of the magma sea, suddenly disappeared from the magma sea.

The vision before the Ancient Fire Dragon changed, and it looked at the familiar mountain wall and the distant magma sea with some astonishment.

It was now—on the outskirts of the magma sea?

The moment this thought appeared.

Boom!

"Roar!!!"

The Ancient Fire Dragon suddenly erupted in painful roars, the sound shrill and desperate, and its body fell to the ground uncontrollably.

Dust filled the air!

With a "squelch" sound!

At its chest, that huge, several-meter-long wound that hadn't fully recovered burst open again.

Hot dragon blood sprayed from the wound!

Immediately following, a magic greatsword extended from the chest.

Tang Zheng pried open the wound, covered in blood, and poked his upper body out from the Ancient Fire Dragon's stomach, steaming with high-temperature vapor.

"Cough, cough."

Fresh air rushed in, and Tang Zheng couldn't help but cough several times, grinning with a slightly ferocious expression.

After canceling the transformation.

The stomach acid in the other party's body had a severe corrosive effect on his skin.

The Ancient Fire Dragon's blood surged into his mouth; the hot, bloody taste immediately filled his mouth, causing Tang Zheng to cough again.

"Is this the taste of dragon blood? So fishy."

Tang Zheng licked the corner of his mouth and stepped out of the Ancient Fire Dragon's stomach.

Bang!

The Ancient Fire Dragon's head hit the ground, emitting a muffled sound; having been completely disemboweled, even with the dragon race's strong vitality, it fell into a near-death state.

"Pollu, polluter... of the world..."

The Ancient Fire Dragon's red dragon pupils stared fixedly at Tang Zheng, its gaze filled with anger and unwillingness, its voice extremely weak, a low murmur almost like a curse.

Polluter of the world?

Tang Zheng's gaze tightened.

This Ancient Fire Dragon really knew something.

However!

Tang Zheng didn't intend to keep the other party alive; with the level of the Fourth Rank magic "Charm All Species," it should be impossible to completely influence the Ancient Fire Dragon.

In addition, the dragon race itself had a certain resistance to mental-type magic.

Trying to use such charm-type magic to extract intelligence from the other party's mouth would likely fail.

And Tang Zheng couldn't be sure if this Ancient Fire Dragon still possessed other hidden means; with a flash of cold light in his eyes.

Whoosh!

Tang Zheng flashed and appeared in front of the Ancient Fire Dragon's head, which was twice as tall as him; not giving the other party any chance to speak, he swung the magic greatsword in his hand and slashed down hard at its neck.

"Rapid Slash!" Squelch!

Blood sprayed out—

The ferocious, resentful fire dragon head rolled away, the Ancient Fire Dragon's body twitched a few times, gradually went limp, and completely lost its life.

【Experience Gained: 879573】

【Experience Bar: 1880775/260000】

Seeing the experience flash on the panel, Tang Zheng knew the Ancient Fire Dragon was completely dead, but he hadn't fully relaxed yet.

Bang!

A strange black energy suddenly appeared in the Ancient Fire Dragon's crimson, resentful dragon pupils.

This energy turned into a ghostly light, quickly emerging from the Ancient Fire Dragon's body.

The speed was so fast!

By the moment Tang Zheng observed it, he couldn't dodge it and was hit directly.

No pain?

And no discomfort at all!

This black ghostly light kept trying to burrow into Tang Zheng's body, but it was blocked by an invisible force, the two forces contending with each other.

Please... bookmark_(!)

Hiss— Hiss—

The black ghostly light was gradually consumed, slowly turning into wisps of gray energy, and completely dissipated in mid-air!

"So it was a dragon race curse."

Seeing this scene, a look of realization appeared on Tang Zheng's face, and then he looked at the fire dragon's head with a light laugh:

"I'm really sorry, I'm immune to curses."

Lifting his head slightly!

Tang Zheng's pupils flashed; in his field of vision, the Ancient Fire Dragon's soul emerged from its body, which gave Tang Zheng a mental boost.

"Totem Possession!"

Tang Zheng immediately activated the 【Shaman Mentor】 ability.

However!

A verdant light flashed over Tang Zheng's entire body, but it couldn't have any effect on the Ancient Fire Dragon's soul.

The Ancient Fire Dragon's soul lingered for a few seconds and then completely dissipated!

"The "Totem Possession" ability can't be used on the fire dragon?" Seeing this, Tang Zheng frowned slightly.

He soon realized.

The dragon race belonged to a species and did not fall into the category of beasts or magical beasts, so naturally, it couldn't be absorbed by the power of "Totem Possession."

"Damn it!"

Tang Zheng suddenly thought of something, an anxious look appearing on his face; he looked at the Ancient Fire Dragon's corpse, waved his hand, and stored it into his item box.

Immediately afterward, he also stored the Ancient Fire Dragon's head into the item box.

Looking at the fire dragon blood on the ground that was still steaming in this high-temperature environment, Tang Zheng showed a pained expression.

He quickly took out a water bag.

Carefully collecting the undried Ancient Fire Dragon blood from the ground with both hands, he poured it into the water bag.

The dragon race's whole body was a treasure!

For Tang Zheng, who was short on resources, this blood was a rare alchemy material.

"Heal Serious Wounds!"

"Heal Serious Wounds!"

While carefully collecting the dragon blood, Tang Zheng cast several healing spells on himself.

Healing the wounds on his body that had been corroded by the Ancient Fire Dragon's stomach acid.

"Based on existing intelligence, the Ancient Fire Dragon shouldn't be able to resurrect."

Tang Zheng thought silently to himself.

Those True Dragon Lords did not possess resurrection magic, because there were no resurrection-type skills in Wild Magic.

Otherwise, in the battle against the Eight Greed Kings, it wouldn't have been the dragon race side that was exhausted to death, but the Eight Greed Kings.

As for ordinary dragons like the Ancient Fire Dragon, they shouldn't possess resurrection magic either.

The lowest-level resurrection magic was the Fifth Rank faith-based magic, which had a minimum requirement of a level 29 class.

The dragon race had always called magic a power that polluted the world, and in itself, with the dragon race's strength, they almost didn't need to learn magic.

There were not many powerhouses in the Other World who could threaten the dragon race, so ordinary dragons did not possess the ability to master resurrection magic.

On the contrary, those True Dragon Lords might have resurrection-type items obtained from players.

Boom!

A huge roar erupted in the magma sea.

The Sun Anglerfish leaped high from the lava, its pair of angry red eyes staring fixedly at the direction where Tang Zheng was.

Its fish mouth opened, emitting a silent sonic shockwave.

However!

The location where Tang Zheng was at this moment was the outermost edge of the lava zone, and the commotion caused by the Sun Anglerfish couldn't affect this place at all.

Watching the Sun Anglerfish constantly jumping out of the magma and smashing back down, stirring up waves of magma that reached the sky.

Tang Zheng looked up at the location of the magma sea: "Got it, got it, I'll send you off together in a moment, no need to rush."

Since he had dealt with the Ancient Fire Dragon, Tang Zheng naturally didn't intend to let the Sun Anglerfish, which was with the other party, go either.

It was a bit troublesome!

The temperature in the central zone was too high, unless he used the "Wild Transformation" ability again to re-enter the magma sea and replicate the method used to deal with the Ancient Fire Dragon.

But Tang Zheng wouldn't do that!

The Sun Anglerfish's size was nearly 50 meters long; if he were swallowed by the other party, Tang Zheng doubted whether he could break out from the other party's stomach.

Not having "Fire Resistance" was indeed troublesome.
