Chapter 214 Devil May Cry
Before Leah could fully process the surprise, a gentle breeze blew, and many crystal-clear particles fell from above. When they landed in her palm, she discovered that they were amber-like crystals that emitted a warm glow, and she could even feel a slight warmth when she held them between her fingers.
"What is this...?" She immediately scanned it with the parser, and the result showed:
【Crimson Sun Crystal: Crimson Purple Grade】
Description: Formed from the condensed energy within the red-veined wood of the forest, it takes hundreds of years for it to naturally fall off and can be used as a high-grade alchemical material or a core energy substance.
The further inland Lia went, the more shocked and delighted she became. The island was like a natural treasure trove, teeming with exotic flowers and plants, rare minerals, and woods with special properties. Every discovery was enough to cause a sensation throughout the Sky Island.
The light in the depths of the forest gradually softened, and more exotic flowers and plants dotted the moist soil beneath the trees.
She happened to step on a small shrub covered with silvery twigs, the tiny branches rustling softly. After scanning, the analyzer excitedly displayed: "Silver Vine, a special material plant that can be melted into liquid metal-like fibers, used for advanced ceramic forging or equipment repair."
At this moment, Lia was almost too excited to care, and she kept looking down to record the growth location, variety, and various analysis results of these plants.
Although she couldn't identify all the exotic flowers and plants growing in this misty world, she knew far more about them than Mo Ming, an outsider.
Dream Spirit hovered slowly behind her, like a guardian, never leaving her side. Whenever Liya focused on collecting a plant or mineral sample, Dream Spirit would warily scan the surroundings.
As she approached a more open area, a piercing, low roar echoed through the air.
The sound seemed to explode suddenly, making her eardrums ache. Lia stopped abruptly, looked up in the direction the sound came from, and saw a wave of rapidly vibrating leaves flash across a section of the forest.
Lia immediately frowned, feeling an indescribable sense of oppression approaching her. Mengling's body also tensed up, and she began to emit soft chirping sounds, as if giving her a warning.
Shortly after, a strong, fishy stench accompanied by the heavy thud of feet hitting the ground came from that direction. Trees in that direction fell one after another, and then, a colossal creature slowly emerged from behind the towering bushes.
Lia's eyes widened. It was a monster that could not be described by ordinary creatures.
It resembles a monitor lizard covered in scales, but is larger than any known monitor lizard, with its towering back almost touching the top of the forest.
Its entire body was covered in jet-black scales, with glints of dark red light flashing between the lacquered armor. Its claws were sharp as daggers, and the fangs between its gaping maws reflected a cold gleam.
Its tail was enormous, yet it left no mud mark on the ground; instead, it pressed down on the soil as if it had sunk inwards.
The giant beast's crimson eyes were fixed on Lia, or rather, on the Dream Spirit behind Lia, with a sense of threat and aggression.
Lia reacted instantly, muttered a curse, drew her weapon, and cautiously took a few steps back. Meanwhile, Mengling slowly swayed her body, emanating a gentle, protective barrier to counter the immense, oppressive aura of the giant beast.
However, the monster did not stop. With a roar and a gasp, it charged towards Mengling like a madman.
......
On the other side, inside the misty primeval forest.
Outside the cave, the dense forest was shrouded in a thin mist, and sunlight filtered through the layers of leaves, casting dappled shadows that made the place appear dark and mysterious.
At the cave entrance, a massive, jet-black monster lay prone, its sharp fangs slightly protruding and its scarlet eyes scanning the surroundings warily, like a silent guardian.
“Lord Ghost Cry, the cave has been cleaned up, and the wild animals in the vicinity have been cleared out. Your pet is guarding the entrance.” A thin subordinate stood respectfully to the side, head bowed, not daring to look directly at Ghost Cry.
Devil May Cry stood under a tree a few hundred meters from the cave. He was a burly man, shrouded in a thin layer of black mist, with deep, cold eyes that faintly shone with a scarlet light.
His face was concealed by a bizarre mask, revealing only a sinister smile. Hearing his subordinate's report, he nodded in satisfaction, his voice low and hoarse:
"Hahaha, good, from now on, this will be our base. Once I control this primeval forest and make it our clan's ground base, the Bewitching Demon boss will surely grant me even greater power, hahahaha..."
His laughter echoed through the woods, carrying a chilling, oppressive force. His subordinate quickly echoed, "Lord Ghost Cry is wise!"
Ghost Cry's gaze swept over his subordinates, a slight sneer curling at the corners of his lips. He slowly walked to the cave entrance, his gaze fixed on the distant forest, his eyes filled with ambition and greed.
"Hmph! I heard that the other day, the Minotaur Asya was actually killed by a human survivor. What a piece of trash."
Ghost Cry snorted coldly, his tone full of mockery, "Even Romani was almost killed. If it weren't for the Emperor Crocodile's timely intervention, I'm afraid... hmph!"
His words were laced with contempt, as if he made no attempt to hide his disdain and contempt for his failed "colleagues."
The henchman immediately seized the opportunity to flatter him, his tone obsequious: "That's right, that's right! If Lord Ghost Cry were to take action, no matter what kind of human survivor they are, they would all die!!"
"Heh..." Ghost Cry sneered, turned around, put his hands behind his back, and exuded a powerful aura.
He slowly said, "The Killing Heart Buddha still wants to dominate? Now that our Bewitching Heart Demon boss has awakened, the Endless Abyss is no longer under its control, hahahaha..."
His laughter was full of arrogance and confidence, and his subordinates nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, their eyes filled with admiration and awe.
Ghost Cry stopped, his gaze turning cold, and his tone suddenly changed, becoming low and icy: "During this time, you've been searching for ferocious beasts near the forest. I don't need to repeat how precious a Crimson Purple-grade taming scroll is, do I?"
We've just arrived, so let's focus on strengthening ourselves. If there's anything we can't handle, come back and tell me, and I'll send my precious baby to deal with it.
"Yes!" the subordinate replied, his voice tinged with a mixture of excitement and nervousness.
The Devil May Cry's ultimate weapon—that monster guarding the cave entrance—is an absolute trump card.
After his men left, the surroundings quieted down again. Ghost Cry stood under the tree, his gaze fixed intently on the distant forest, a cold smile playing on his lips. His figure grew increasingly sinister and terrifying.
However, just as he was about to turn around and go back into the cave, his gaze suddenly sharpened, and the smile on his face vanished instantly, replaced by a coldness and murderous intent.
He slowly raised his head, his sharp gaze fixed on a large tree not far away, his voice low and menacing: "Come out! Did you think I didn't notice you?"
His voice was like a cold, sharp blade, piercing straight to the heart, carrying a suffocating sense of oppression. The air seemed to freeze at that moment, and the surrounding atmosphere became incredibly tense.
There was no movement behind the tree, but Devil Cry's gaze grew even colder.
He sneered, raised his palm, and a surge of black energy condensed in his hand, emanating a chilling aura. His voice carried a hint of mockery: "Still trying to hide? If you don't come out soon, I'll have to personally invite you."
As soon as he finished speaking, black energy suddenly erupted and rushed straight towards the big tree!
The next second...
A long spear flew out and collided with the black energy. After the dust settled, two pairs of eyes met.
One pair was cold and ferocious, while the other... was cunning and sinister!
