After just a few minutes, the area became a complete mess. The ground was covered with blood. Half of those golden beasts had been torn to pieces while the remaining half was still fighting. The battle was an incredibly b.l.o.o.d.y scene.

It seemed as if the battle would end soon. However, what was unfortunate was that the lone rank two golden beast stood still at the side without moving at all. It was a gigantic Gold-eating Magic Lizard that was three to four meters long and had a completely black body. Its thick tail inadvertently smashed the ground and left a deep crack in the ground. It stared coldly at those lower ranking golden beasts as they killed one another as if it had no interest in the b.l.o.o.d.y Black Gold. It even looked towards Yang Dingtian several times.

Yang Dingtian's heart felt that something was not right. This rank two Magic Lizard was not taking the bait?

Two minutes pa.s.sed, and there were only five low ranking beasts left. What was most unexpected was that the five beasts were not fighting each other. Instead, they were shaking their heads and tails to communicate with one another. They wanted to have a truce and split the prize among the five of them.

Meanwhile, those ice-type beasts were still swimming in the unfreezing pond and looked up occasionally to watch the golden beasts that were fighting.

The five golden beasts had already finished negotiating. They all opened their mouths to enjoy their delicious meal. Yang Dingtian wanted to cry but had no tears, thinking that this was what people called “trying to steal a chicken but ending up losing the rice used to lure it.”

At this moment, the situation changed dramatically. The boss-like Gold-eating Magic Lizard sitting still at the side demonstrated its powers to them, wanting them to pa.s.s it the b.l.o.o.d.y Black Gold. Apparently, it wasn't uninterested but just wanted to let the lower-ranking beasts kill one another before reaping the rewards.

The five lower-ranking golden beasts obviously wouldn't let go of the delicious meal in front of them. Instead of retreating, they formed a battle formation and roared towards the rank two demon lizard.

The Gold-eating Magic Lizard was furious and opened its mouth to reveal its scarlet tongue. It slammed its tail powerfully and rushed towards them at lightning speed.

In an instant, the huge battle among the beasts began: Five rank one beasts versus one rank two Gold-eating Magic Lizard.

Yang Dingtian opened his eyes wide and hoped that both sides would end up with serious injuries.

However, Yang Dingtian was completely horrified by the result. When the rank two magic lizard rushed over, it used its claw to slam, its leg to stomp, and its mouth to bite, quickly killing three rank one golden beasts. Then, it slammed its huge tail and crushed the two remaining golden beasts instantly.

Yang Dingtian thought that both sides would have fought dozens of rounds and end up heavily injured. However, he never would have expected the battle to end in a mere two seconds. The rank two magic lizard had killed five rank one golden beasts without losing a single scale.

Yang Dingtian felt a chill in his back. This rank two beast was that much more powerful a rank one beast? It moved like lightning, and its strength was shocking. Even though he had the flame feather, would he be able to kill this rank two magic lizard?

However, what happened next stunned Yang Dingtian. He never would have thought that this rank two magic lizard wouldn't immediately go eat the b.l.o.o.d.y Black Gold but would instead rush over towards his hiding spot. Like black lightning, it was many times faster than the golden mouse he encountered previously.

This golden magic lizard was way too cunning. It didn't go for the b.l.o.o.d.y Black Gold but chose to attack Yang Dingtian first.

Yang Dingtian didn't even have the time to sigh before that huge magic lizard was already three meters in front of him. It stared coldly at him with its small green eyes, opened its mouth, and let out an extremely horrifying roar.

Seeing this beast up close, Yang Dingtian found that this Gold-eating Magic lizard was even larger than he thought. It was four to five meters long. While it was as large as a crocodile, it was many times faster and more agile.

It didn't rush to attack but stared at Yang Dingtian coldly. It let out another loud roar to scare him.

It didn't move, and Yang Dingtian couldn't move. Its speed was too fast. It would be ill-advised for Yang Dingtian to initiate the attack. The only way to kill it would be to wait and use the flame feather when it rushed him. Yang Dingtian only had one chance with a window of opportunity of at most 0.1 seconds. He won't get a second chance if he missed it.

Of course, he could use the Mysterious Beast Pill, but he chose not to.

One minute pa.s.sed…..

Two minutes pa.s.sed…

Five minutes pa.s.sed….

This Gold-eating Magic lizard did not move but instead locked onto Yang Dingtian. Its small eyes kept s.h.i.+fting to the flame feather in his hand. It was obviously extremely afraid of the power it could feel contained within this flame feather.

Yang Dingtian moved the flame feather that he was holding, wanting to bait the Gold-eating Magic lizard to attack.

“Hong!” The Gold-eating Magic lizard opened its mouth and spat a bunch of flame at Yang Dingtian.

“It can spit fire?” Yang Dingtian was shocked.

A huge bunch of flame containing a powerful strength shot towards him like a grenade.

He could immediately feel an extreme heat dominate his senses. His field of vision turned completely red, and he could see nothing but the flames.

“Whoos.h.!.+” The Gold-eating Magic lizard took the opportunity to rush at Yang Dingtian behind the flames it spat.

Yang Dingtian closed his eyes, stood still, and waited for the huge fireball to arrive. Suddenly, the flame feather that was trembling in his hands was flicked forward.

The ninth move and fifth moves of the Pig Killing Swordsmans.h.i.+p.

“Boom…” The flame slammed into Yang Dingtian's chest.

“Oh…” At the same time, the incomparably huge Gold-eating Magic lizard directly collided with the flame feather in his hands. The feather silently pierced through its brain and cut its whole body in half.

“Boom…” As if he had been hammered by something huge, Yang Dingtian flew dozens of meters away while continuously spit blood in midair.

“Bang…” The huge Gold-eating Magic lizard's dead body smashed into the ground with a thunderous thud.

This Gold-eating Magic lizard was incredibly cunning. It knew how to use distractions and used fire to attack Yang Dingtian and force him to back off. At the same time, it had rushed forward faster than the speed of the flame it spat out. If Yang Dingtian had tried to dodge it, he would have been immediately been bitten by the as fast as lightning magic lizard.

Yang Dingtian instead took this flame attack head-on and struck with the flame feather towards where the Gold-eating magic beast would go. In this way, he managed to kill this cunning rank two beast.

Yang Dingtian's body slammed into the cavern wall and then slid down its surface. After spitting out blood, he felt for injuries around his chest. Thankfully, his bones were not broken and had only been shaken by the strong impact. The protection provided by the Deep Sea Xuan s.h.i.+rt was amazing. If he didn't have this precious item, Yang Dingtian wouldn't have dared to withstand the flame attack of this rank two magic lizard.

However, he'd still suffered a pretty serious injury. He felt like his internal organs were burning and had been torn. Even breathing hurt badly.

Yang Dingtian took out a Full Restoration Pill and consumed it.

This fifth-rank Full Restoration Pill was indeed magical. As soon as he ate it, it instantly felt like cold water lightly immersed every inch of his internal organs and then spread to all the veins in the body. The burning pain immediately disappeared without a trace as if he hadn't been hurt at all. Instead, he felt more powerful than before he was injured.

Ahh, using this fifth-rank Full Restoration Pill was too wasteful!

Yang Dingtian approached the Gold-eating Magic lizard's corpse and quickly dug out its demon nucleus.

The demon nucleus of the second rank beast was a little bigger. The gloss was brighter, and the line texture was more complicated.

Now, he had two gold-type demon nuclei on hand.

It was time to kill the ice-type beast. As soon as he got the ice-type demon nucleus and left this horrifying place, this trip's mission would have been completed.

Yang Dingtian stowed away the demon nucleus securely, held his flame feather forward, reached the end of the ore mine, and slid down the wall of the cave to reach the bottom of the huge cave.

The four lone ice-type beasts that were in the unfreezing pond merely stared at Yang Dingtian alertly, not reacting the slightest. It was obvious that they believed no one could enter the unfreezing water and thus felt extremely safe.

After killing the rank two Gold-eating Magic lizard, Yang Dingtian wasn't too worried about these four low-rank ice-type beasts. Ice-type beasts might be deadly to other people, but to him who had the Nine Yang Xuan Veins, it was completely a different story. The attack of the gold-eating beast, on the other hand, was much more dangerous to him.

Yang Dingtian walked over and picked up the b.l.o.o.d.y Black Gold. It wasn't distorted but was now covered with lots of beast blood.

After he put away the b.l.o.o.d.y Black Gold, Yang Dingtian carefully observed the four ice-type beasts in the unfreezing pond and thought about how to kill one of them to get its demon nucleus.

They were four water snakes with snow-white bodies and four legs. They were about three meters long and had transparent ice horns at the top of their heads.

Yang Dingtian knew about this type of snake. When he was reading aboard the s.h.i.+p, one of the books talked about this type of snake.

It was called the Four-Legged Cold Snake. It doesn't secrete a traditional poison. Instead, it injects a bunch of cold poison into the body of its victim. The blood of the person who was bitten would be instantly frozen, and he would die. On top of that, this type of snake could spit out ice blades that could easily slice a person's neck.

Although Yang Dingtian wasn't extremely afraid of this type of snake, it was still best to not let them surround him. Otherwise, it would be too dangerous. The best way to do this was to bait one of them to the ground. This unfreezing water was approximately negative sixty to negative seventy degrees Celsius. The current Yang Dingtian could withstand that for dozens of minutes, but the water was still the snake's territory. Entering would put him in a disadvantageous position.

Yang Dingtian took out a box from his bag and opened it. A cold aura instantly spread out. Inside the box lay a crystal-clear blue pearl.

This was the Frozen Ice Pearl. It was an energy form frozen at an ice-cold place and was the ice-type beast's favorite food. Of course, this precious item had been given to him by Ningning. But, she never told Yang Dingtian how valuable it was. It was more than enough to exchange for a high-quality demon nucleus.

Yang Dingtian placed the Frozen Ice Pearl on the ground and found a place to hide. He wanted to bait a cold snake out of the water and out onto the ground.

He waited for one minute, two minutes, three minutes…
