In the midst of flight, Lil Wan kept the whole of Ye Xuan's body well-enveloped within a layer of psychic power.
At the Bujin Mountains, a fiery red picture of miasmas pervaded the entire place.
And these miasmas were all of an extremely high temperature.
It was even much more terrifying than the fifty to the sixty-degree temperature of ordinary districts.
Without this layer of psychic power, Ye Xuan's clothes would have gone up in flames within an instant.
It was highly likely that there might not even be many strands of hairs left on his body.
"Whoosh!"
And along the way, as he was making haste, Ye Xuan realized that the vibration speed of the feather of the Red Luan in his hand was actually getting more and more intense.
"What situation is this?"
Ye Xuan felt surprised and got increasingly curious.
If there really was a large number of Red Luan feathers gathered together and he could get his hands on them, then he would undoubtedly be able to save himself a great deal of time.
And throw everyone else far behind him.
For this reason, even though he sensed that the Red Luan feather in his hand had swayed in other directions twice along the way, he ignored it.
Whoosh!
And with Ye Xuan picking up pace at an increasing rate along his travel route, he and Lil Wan soon arrived in front of a lake.
In this lake, there was not a single drop of water.
It was all magma.
This striking sight was clearly a magma lake amidst the Bujin Mountains.
And the closer Ye Xuan got to this place, the more he felt that something was amiss.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64ce79d606107d003c23ea27", id: "pf-5140-1"})Because the closer he got to this magma lake, the fewer red dots appeared in the mini real-time map of the Tidal Treasure Snail.
"It can't be?"
Seeing this scene, Ye Xuan raised a brow and seemed to have thought of something.
"Roar!"
With this thought churning in his mind, he continued to close up the distance between the lake and him. And after moving a certain distance closer, something unexpectedly caught his eye. A huge magma vortex had suddenly appeared in the middle of this magma lake.
And the very moment that the magma vortex was formed, a huge thing suddenly poked its head out from within.
"This is…"
Seeing the terrifying head of that huge thing poking out from the magma lake, Ye Xuan felt a sudden tightening in his chest.
This thing that appeared in the middle of the magma lake was none other than a dragon.
A huge dragon cladded in countless fiery-red and coarse scales made of rock throughout the length of its entire body.
The moment it poked its head out of the magma lake earlier on, Ye Xuan could feel a heat wave tumbling over from afar.
What should be known was that the distance between Ye Xuan and this dragon at the moment was a whooping length of more than two thousand…
[Magma Fiery Dragon (Dragon system/Fire system): Four-star
Level: Early-stage gold-level
Ability: Magma dragon body, Magma dragon panacea, Magma dragon scripture, releasing the might of a dragon
The direction of evolution 1: Magma Dragon King
The direction of evolution 2: Magma Fiery Spiritual Dragon]
The moment he saw this Magma Fiery Dragon, Ye Xuan quickly looked into identifying its attributes.
"Holy crap!"
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})As soon as he had verified the identity of this Magma Fiery Dragon and its attributes, Ye Xuan could not help but quietly cursed under his breath.
If this magma fiery dragon had not advanced to the gold level and were just a silver-level beast, then he would probably have charged up to it without further hesitation and directly contracted it as his own beast.
But.
It had already advanced to the gold level.
Gold level and Silver level were two complete concepts altogether.
For most Beast Tamers, it was only after they had crossed over to the gold level before they could be considered to have made the initial steps into crossing over to the ranks of powerhouses.
As for the Silver-level Beast Tamers, they were at most minor fights and squabbles.
Even Ye Xuan was not daring enough to provoke lifeforms that were of the gold level at the moment.
He did not even dare to provoke the low-quality ones.
Not to mention this Magma fiery dragon which had quality as high as four stars.
But the thing was, as he kept his eyes on this Magma fiery dragon.
After charging out of the magma lake, he saw that it opened its dragon mouth wide and spat.
And from its mouth, it spat out many Red Luan feathers.
After spat out of its mouth, these Red Luan feathers moved in the void of space and then combined.
And in the blink of an eye, many flames emerged from amidst the Red Luan feathers.
With the Red Luan feathers as the core, these flames transformed into a smaller-sized Holy Fiery Red Luan.
"Crap!"
The sight of this caught Ye Xuan's complete attention, and his eyes were immediately fixated on this scene.
How many Red Luan feathers did this have to be?
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})At least hundreds of them, right?
If he were to search in a step-by-step way, how long would he have to search to gather so many Red Luan feathers?
It was highly possible that even if he spent a day or two searchings, he might not be able to get this much.
Ye Xuan took a deep breath.
Once again, he got to experience the vicious intentions of the Holy Fiery Red Luan.
So, this is the test you have arranged for me?
This was really one big pothole.
"No way. I can't be tempted. Unless I'm a fool, I won't go about messing with this thing!"
Ye Xuan looked at that Magma Fiery Dragon swimming in the magma lake from a distance away.
Without further hesitation, he directly got Lil Wan to lead him into a retreat.
I could not afford to mess with it.
I really could not afford to mess with it.
Whoever tried to provoke whoever, that person had to be a fool.
What had to be known was that while training in the Bujin Mountains, if they were taking the initiative to provoke the gold-level beasts, and as a result, got themselves into trouble, there was no way Wang Tianshan and others would extend a helping hand.
With this thought continuously churning in his mind, when Ye Xuan was about to leave, his consciousness scanned the Red Luan feather in his hand once through.
From the information contained within the feather, he immediately obtained the latest ranking of the expedition to the Bujin Mountains this time.
"In first place: Zhuo Bufan, four Red Luan feathers."
"In second place: Ren Xue, two Red Luan feathers."
"In third place: Zuo Qingtian, two Red Luan feathers."
"In fourth place: Ye Xuan, one Red Luan feather."
"In fifth place: Huo Tong, one Red Luan feather."
Just that, this time, when Ye Xuan did a scan again, he realized that after such a delay, his ranking had fallen from the previous first place to the current fourth place.
Simultaneously, right behind him, including Huo Tong, there were already five or six more people who had all obtained a Red Luan feather.
It was considered to be a tie with him at fourth place.
"Whatever. I'll take it as a lesson learned this time. Next time, I will not let myself be delayed by a similar situation."
When Ye Xuan saw the latest ranking, he instantly took a deep breath.
He knew that there was really no such thing as free lunch in this world.
It was still better for him to follow up with a step-by-step approach in his search for Red Luan feathers.
With the help of the Tidal Treasure Snail to avoid risks.
He could also make use of the Beast Lair and carry out fixed positionings of his beasts. Following through the entire search process step by step, it might not be impossible to obtain first in this round of expedition to the Bujin Mountains.
And thereafter, obtain the chance to contract an egg of the Holy Fiery Red Luan under him.
"But who is this Zhuo Bufan? How could he actually obtain four Red Luan feathers in such a short time?"
It was just that thinking about this in his mind actually made Ye Xuan feel a sense of urgency. He could not help but involuntarily self-mobilize himself to step up his game.
There was really something not quite right with this Beast Tamer by the name of Zhuo Bufan.
How he actually obtained four Red Luan feathers within such a short time was shocking.
He had surpassed even Ren Xue and that Zuo Qingtian right at the very beginning.
"Lil Win, we need to speed up as well."
Ye Xuan said to Lil Wan, who was standing on his shoulder.
"Lil Wan knows."
Lil Wan nodded her little head that was adorned with a Goddess' crown, and then, with a wave, she took out her Goddess' Truncheon. Using it as a transmission medium, she unleashed her psychic power.
Taking Ye Xuan with her, she sped up to quicken their pace of movement.
"What is Ye Xuan doing?"
Above a certain plain, Tang Mengxia was keeping an eye on Ye Xuan's ranking.
She saw that Ye Xuan had not obtained a single Red Luan feather after a long time and was rapidly falling down the ranks.
At the same time, on that same list, some guy named Zhuo Bufan had rapidly climbed up the list to be placed at the top. In her heart, she suddenly began to worry.
"So it turns out that he was just in a streak of luck previously?"
Simultaneously, the other people who entered the Bujin Mountains this time were also starting to feel a little tempted in their hearts.
However, while these people might also feel that Ye Xuan was just lucky before, not a single one dared to really underestimate him.
Since a long time ago, Ye Xuan had time and again proven his capability through various occasions.
Everyone knew that Ye Xuan's future achievements would definitely be unlimited.
However.
Compared to the others who had entered the Bujin Mountains this time, Ye Xuan's cultivation level was still relatively low.
"Charge! Charge! Charge!"
After someone saw that Ye Xuan's ranking had dropped in his heart, he felt even more invigorated and energetic.
Not to mention that there was no chance of seizing the Holy Fiery Red Luan egg this time.
The fact that being able to surpass Ye Xuan in the ranks was already going to become a major talk of the town shortly.
Especially those Beast Tamers who had previously gone to the Dragon Horn Planet with Ye Xuan.
The mere thought of Ye Xuan actually plundering the secret realm of all its Silver Star Fruits was enough to make them angry.
So, all the more, they were giving it their all.
"These guys, why are they all acting like animals?"
On top of a mountain peak, Lil Wan unleased ten green trees in a row.
After making minced meat out of a Fire-winged Grey Wolf and seizing the Red Luan feather that it held firm within the cavity of its mouth without letting go easily until it died, Ye Xuan swept through the rankings again.
And after realizing that his ranking had dropped further down the list instead of rising, his eyebrows instantly furrowed into a frown.
At this point, he had completely forgotten that he was much more beastlike than they were now during his expedition to the Silver Star Fruit Secret Realm back then.
"Continue!"
Ye Xuan could not bring himself to believe it.
As soon as he put away this Red Luan feather, he immediately got Lil Wan to lead him and flew off to the next destination.
...
Time passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, almost two days had passed.
"In the first place, Ren Xue, with 92 Red Luan feathers."
"In the second place, Zhuo Bufan, with 91 Red Luan feathers."
"In third place, Ye Xuan, with 87 Red Luan feathers."
"In fourth place, Zuo Qingtian, with 87 Red Luan feathers."
After collecting another Red Luan feather, Ye Xuan used his consciousness to sweep through the ranks again and instantly found that he was still in third place, tied in the same rank as Zuo Qingtian.
During the past two days, his ranking had continuously been intertwined with this guy named Zuo Qingtian.
One moment he was on top, and the next moment, Zuo Qingtian was on top.
As for Zhuo Bufan, he was consistently in the first place.
But ever since more than two hours ago, the number of Red Luan feathers that this guy had obtained somehow did not seem to change anymore.
And up till this point, Ren Xue had just ridden herself of the title of "forever second best" to make it to the top of the ranks.
"No!"
Suddenly, just as Ye Xuan was about to withdraw his consciousness, he saw that the ranking of that guy called Zhuo Bufan changed abruptly.
From where he was at second place, he shot up to first place within a split second.
And the number of Red Luan feathers indicated next to his name instantly went from 91 feathers to 151 feathers.
"Crap!"
Seeing this scene, Ye Xuan immediately cursed, "How can this guy be such a sicko? Did he go about provoking the gold-level beasts?"
Ye Xuan did not know why the number of Red Luan feathers that this guy called Zhuo Bufan had obtained remained stagnant without change for two hours.
"Less than a day left. If it goes on, things are definitely not going to work out well for me!"
Seeing the drastic change in the number of Red Luan feathers that Zhuo Bufan obtained, Ye Xuan took a deep breath for the moment.
In his heart, he vaguely came to a decision.
"Buzz!"
Just as he was thinking about this, he felt a jolt in his mind and surprisingly found that the World of Nothingness of the Tidal Treasure Snail was suddenly beginning to shake and tremble.
"This is?"
Ye Xuan's eyes lit up.
P.S. The second update is presented. Next, I will step out for a while; I will try my best to churn out the third update by 2 pm. But if I get home late, then there may be a delay.
