Cultivating With Mutated Heavenly Spirit Roots-Chapter 42: Red Dragon

The staircase leading to the fourth level grew increasingly long, with no end in sight.

Fang Hong and the two women wound their way through the dim stairwell, not daring to go too fast, fearing they might accidentally trigger some fatal mechanism.

After roughly three hours of walking, Fang Hong and the two women finally arrived at the entrance to the fourth level.

A faint mist permeated the entrance, and something seemed to be hidden within it, obscuring the view of what lay inside.

Fang Hong was the first to step forward, entering the unknown fourth level. Su Shan and Lin Na exchanged a glance, then quickly followed, staying close behind Fang Hong.

Passing through the entrance, the three once again saw a spacious stone cave, also a hundred zhang wide.

However, unlike the previous three levels, there was no circular arena, no grand palace, and no underground staircase leading deeper.

It seemed this was the final level of the underground palace...

Not far from the stone cave, there was a pool constantly emitting white mist, standing out in the silent stone cave.

The pool emanated faint Spiritual Qi fluctuations, and these fluctuations were somewhat unusual, making Fang Hong and the two women wonder if some treasure was hidden within the pool.

The three exchanged glances, a glimmer of anticipation in their eyes, but more so caution, as they cautiously approached the pool, their footsteps extremely light.

Just as the three had approached the pool, without warning, the white mist in the pool suddenly began to churn violently.

Immediately after, a colossal creature rose from the pool!

Its body stirred the white mist, creating a strong current of air that forced the three to retreat a few steps.

This monster looked like some kind of serpentine Demonic Beast, its body incredibly massive, appearing faintly in the mist, giving off a strong sense of Aura!

When the giant creature fully emerged from the mist, Fang Hong and the two women’s faces simultaneously paled in horror, and they cried out in unison: "Dragon!"

This Dragon was dozens of zhang long, covered in red scales, shimmering with a fiery red glow in the dim stone cave.

Its claws were incredibly sharp, like blades, each glinting with cold light, and its mouth was filled with sharp fangs...

"There’s actually a Level Four Dragon here!" Fang Hong was inwardly shocked; the strength of this Demonic Beast was definitely greater than that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment Stage Late-Phase Cultivator.

Su Shan and Lin Na also turned pale upon seeing this Dragon, their hearts pounding rapidly, their nerves stretched to the limit.

The red Dragon flew out of the pool and landed not far from Fang Hong and the two women, its gaze fixed on them, drool dripping from its mouth. It looked like a hungry ghost seeing delicious food, its eyes filled with greed.

"Roar!" The red Dragon let out an excited roar, its voice echoing through the stone cave, making the three women’s ears buzz.

Immediately after, it lunged at Fang Hong and the two women, its Aura astonishing.

Seeing this, Fang Hong reacted extremely quickly, striking instantly.

With a wave of his hand, his Storage Pouch glowed with spiritual light, and fifty shimmering Golden Wall Talismans shot out.

These talismans quickly arranged themselves in the air, forming a massive golden wall in the blink of an eye, blocking the three women and emitting a dazzling golden light.

"Bang!"

The red Dragon’s sharp claws fiercely struck the giant golden wall, producing a violent tremor.

The powerful impact made Fang Hong’s arm tingle slightly, but fortunately, he was using Intermediate Golden Wall Talismans, which had extremely strong defense, and there were enough of them, allowing him to block the Dragon’s attack!

The red Dragon seemed somewhat annoyed by the giant golden wall.

Its massive head swayed slightly, a hint of anger flashing in its eyes, and then it immediately swung its tail, striking the giant wall fiercely.

"Bang!" Another crisp sound, this time the impact was even stronger than before, and Fang Hong’s fifty Golden Wall Talismans were completely shattered.

The powerful force simultaneously sent the three women flying several zhang away, but fortunately, all three had a certain level of cultivation and managed to stabilize themselves, suffering no serious harm.

"Run! This red Dragon is too powerful, we are no match for it!" Fang Hong shouted, then prepared to cast a spell to escape the area.

However, just then, Su Shan suddenly cried out, "Wait! I have a way to kill this beast, as long as you can hold it off for a moment!"

Su Shan’s eyes were firm, and her tone carried an undeniable confidence.

"What! You can kill a Level Four Dragon?" Fang Hong was surprised by her words, finding it hard to believe.

As they spoke, the red Dragon seemed to sense Fang Hong and the two women’s intention to escape. Its massive body moved slightly, and it immediately flew to block the exit!

Then, it swung its tail again, striking at them with extreme speed, creating a whistling sound of wind.

Fang Hong dared not hesitate, once again throwing out fifty Golden Wall Talismans, casting the giant golden wall to block the attack, and the stone cave echoed with booming sounds.

"Whatever methods you have, use them quickly, I can hold it off for a while!" Fang Hong said anxiously, then continuously threw out talismans from his Storage Pouch to defend against the attacks.

Su Shan and Lin Na knew the situation was critical. After exchanging glances, they began to unleash their final trump cards.

Both simultaneously took out a golden talisman from their Storage Pouches and frantically injected Magic Power into them.

"talisman Treasure!" Fang Hong, while fending off the Dragon’s attack, glanced at the two women’s actions. When he saw the two golden talismans, his heart skipped a beat.

The two women were holding a special talisman called a "talisman Treasure." This talisman was refined by a Core Formation Stage Cultivator by extracting the power of a Spiritual Treasure. Once activated, it could unleash two to three tenths of the Spiritual Treasure’s power.

Fang Hong’s confidence immediately soared. Although a talisman Treasure could not fully compare to a Core Formation Stage Cultivator’s attack, it should be more than enough to deal with the beast before them!

A hint of joy flashed in Fang Hong’s eyes, and his movements became even faster, continuously throwing out talismans, trying to buy more time for the two women.

"Roar!" The red Dragon seemed to sense the danger and began to become even more agitated.

It opened its gaping maw and spewed a pillar of scorching flame at Fang Hong. The flame’s temperature was extremely high; wherever it passed, the air made a "sizzling" sound!

"This beast can even breathe fire!" Fang Hong was horrified, but he couldn’t afford to hesitate. He threw out another hundred Golden Wall Talismans, holding two Mid-Grade Spirit Stones in his hands, fully activating the talismans.

Now he had to buy time for the two women to activate their talisman Treasures.

"Boom!" The red Dragon’s fierce flames relentlessly impacted the giant golden wall.

The collision of flames and Golden Wall Talismans produced dazzling light and a huge roar. Fang Hong could feel the giant golden wall swaying precariously under the impact of the flames.

But fortunately, he had prepared enough Golden Wall Talismans, and their defensive power was very strong. The red Dragon couldn’t do anything to him for a while, which infuriated it, causing it to furiously strike the golden wall!

Fang Hong secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was a good thing he had prepared a large number of talismans beforehand, otherwise, he really wouldn’t have been able to withstand the beast’s attacks.

"Beast, let you experience the taste of a talisman baptism!" Fang Hong said coldly.

Then, he took out fifty laser talismans. After activating them, fifty beams of light fiercely shot towards the red Dragon.

"Bang, bang, bang..." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

The power of the fifty laser talismans was not weak, directly knocking the red Dragon into the stone cave wall, causing a rumbling tremor!
