Swordsman the Wanderer
Ch. 564 - Entering the Cave
In an instant, Zhang En then disappeared from that place.
When he appeared again, he had been at a height in the air where the fire clouds were hovering. With a quick glance at that mountain area, Zhang En then flew towards the mountain cliff in front of him.
Somewhere ahead on the cliff lay a demonic beast that looked like a crocodile. However, his body was covered with black dragon scales, and there was a sharp horn protruding from his forehead.
This demon beast was named the Land Crocodile Dragon. However, the descendants of the ancient dragons were far from the dragon bloodline and extremely weak, and therefore it was difficult for them to ascend to the Golden God Realm in their cultivation.
This crocodile Dragon demon beast that Zhang En saw was an early stage Heavenly God Realm realm demon beast.
The suction force from Zhang En's hand pulled the Dragon Crocodile's body right in front of him. Against Zhang En, the demonic beast was powerless to resist, a single slap from Zhang En's palm rendered him unconscious, and Zhang En then traced the Crocodile Dragon's soul.
A short while later, the process ended, but Zhang En was disappointed, as there was no clue as to the location of the cave he was looking for within the memories of this beast.
Despite his disappointment, Zhang En did not kill this Crocodile Dragon, instead, he gave a soul mark into the crocodile dragon's soul before throwing it into his spatial ring.
Zhang En decided to tame that swarm of Heavenly God Realm demon beasts that were in that Cloud Mountain area.
After which, Zhang En continued to search for his next target. The target of the demon beasts that he was about to tame were all the Heavenly God Realm. He finally began to hunt down and tame the demonic beasts he had found.
...
A few hours later, now, Zhang En had captured and examined the souls of a total of fourteen demon beasts from the early and intermediate stage Heavenly God Realm, but still failed to find the location of that cave.
Throwing the fourteenth demonic beast in the middle stage Heavenly God Realm into his spatial ring, Zhang En's brows shot up and he thought deeply.
After a while later, Zhang En flew towards the top of that Volcano Mountain.
The demonic beast that lived in the highest place on the mountain was the realm of the Heavenly God Realm. The higher one went to the top of that mountain, the more powerful the demonic beasts would encounter.
On top of the peak, Zhang En found a peak stage Heavenly God Realm fire snake with a pair of wings next to the dingunug lake. The snake had the bloodline of an ancient ferocious beast, a winged snake. However, what Zhang En found was a mutated variant of the snake, and much stronger.
Zhang En did not dare to underestimate this Winged Snake. Hiding his aura, Zhang En executed the space concealment technique and the ghost technique at the same time, Zhang En arrived right above the fire snake's head. Then, hitting the palm, slammed the snake's head into the ground..
The winged fire snake then immediately reacted. His wings widened, releasing a dazzling light, but his reaction was still too late.
Zhang En's palm strike had made the fire snake faint, however, he was unable to examine the snake's soul for now. With quick action, he threw the snake into his spatial ring and disappeared from its place in an instant.
Just then, as the winged fire snake reacted, a bright radiance from its wings alerted the surrounding demonic beasts.
Zhang En then hid his presence as he flew upwards along the mountain until he arrived above the cliff. He heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that no demonic beasts were chasing behind him.
He took out the imaginary fire snake and started examining his soul. When he finished, Zhang En's eyes brightened with excitement. From the memories of this snake, he finally found the location of the cave he was looking for
But, the surprising thing was that there was not only one type of Fire Beast he was looking for in that cave, but there were two. More importantly, the strength of the two demon beasts was at the late stage of the Heavenly God Realm, one step away from breaking through to the Gold God Realm!
Zhang En's gaze became solemn after his excitement passed. "Hmm, capturing those two demonic beasts is harder than defeating Lang Song.!" Zhang En murmured to himself.
Moreover, he confirmed from the memories of that winged fire snake that there was indeed a Golden Realm demon beast living in the Mountain that there was not only one, but three. They were demon beasts of the bloodline of ancient ferocious beasts that had claws that could destroy almost any object, or their swift and sharp attacks. Zhang En wasn't too confident to be able to kill one of them, let alone three at a time.
...
An hour later, Zhang En had been standing in front of the cave that was close to the peak. The cave was wide and about three to four meters high, but it was hidden from view with the already tall weeds covering it. Moreover, concealment formations were set around the cave doors, making it even more difficult for anyone to find the cave entrance.
Zhang En easily opened the hidden formation around the cave entrance, then disappeared into the cave in an instant.
The environment inside the cave was very hot and dry. The fireball inside the cave was emitting a soft golden red glow. From that red ball, Zhang En detected a certain scent. This was probably the unique scent of the Flame Demon Beast he was looking for.
Zhang En carefully spread his senses deep into the cave while hiding his own presence as he flew slowly.
The tunnel of the cave gradually led to a larger space, the deeper he entered, and at the same time, the temperature of the cave grew hotter.
At this moment, Zhang En felt that he was inside an extremely hot fire temperature furnace.
After roughly half an hour of flying into the cave, Zhang En could hear a faint groan not far ahead, sounding like a tiger's voice yet also akin to a lion's voice.
Suddenly, the scene in front of Zhang En brightened up, turning into a huge underground chamber.
The walls of this basement were like steel, with golden-red flames floating on its surface.
In the middle of that huge underground chamber was a formation built with the symbol of an ancient beast, with two huge fire element demon beasts in the middle of the formation. Their eyes were golden red like embers, as well as the scales covering their bodies. They had four strong legs, and at the corner of their mouths were two long whiskers that looked like dragon whiskers.
