The Mighty Dragons Are Dead-Chapter 954 - 0951 Beneath the Magma (Second Update)
Chapter 954 -0951: Beneath the Magma (Second Update) Chapter 954 -0951: Beneath the Magma (Second Update) The Phoenix Perch Parasol Forest was still just a collection of small saplings, not lush and leafy, but under the influence of the Cordyceps, each one was full of energy.
And those red-feathered birds attracted to the place were as big as calves but had a wingspan of only about five meters, bulky and bloated, resembling some oversized sparrows.
Liszt discovered through the Crystal White Trajectory of the Formless Dragon that their magic power was dense to the level of an Advanced Magical Beast, and there were over a hundred of these birds. They flew in groups through the saplings of the Phoenix Perch Parasol Tree, fortunately not harming the saplings, only occasionally snapping a few during their play.

In the “Magical Beast Encyclopedia” revised under Ach, there were no records of bird Magical Beasts like these, so Liszt provisionally named them Red Sparrow Birds.
“Your Highness, these birds have been here for a while now, and our serfs are too scared to plant trees anymore. These birds attack the serfs on sight. Little Yellow, Little Red, and Little Purple are no match for them,” Paris said.
“I will properly discipline these Red Sparrow Birds. In my territory, they are my private property, and I will not allow them to be so presumptuous!”
However, Liszt did not immediately tame the flock of Red Sparrow Birds.
The reason lay in the Smoke Mission, which had previously tasked him with planting the Phoenix Perch Parasol Forest to attract the flock, but even with the arrival of the Red Sparrow Birds, the mission status remained incomplete. This meant that the number of birds was probably still not enough.
More Fire Attribute birds were likely to come.
Liszt had already figured out the pattern of the Smoke Mission. Therefore, he was not in a hurry and let Paris restrain the knights and serfs here while he himself went to meet Leo at the distant Doomsday Volcano Crater, taking the Greater Elf Annie of the Phoenix Perch Parasol Tree with him.
Annie, who was always holding Fire Dragon Scale, was in good spirits lately, but still showed no signs of evolving into a Dragon Elf.
Of course, there was no failure either. It was still full of affection for Leo.
“Ethan’s training has graduated. Now, I must ensure Leo’s training also graduates. Otherwise, this Fire Dragon will never be fully under my command,” he treated Fire Dragon Leo as a combat partner, hoping Leo would soon get branded with a Mind Branding and then work together to develop armor form.
A handsome set of Flame Armor was a long-awaited dream for Liszt.
Bone Dragon Armor, though domineering, had a temperament that was dark and eerie, somewhat clashing with his sunny “big boy” personality.
“Oh ho!”
Leo demanded Red Dragon Water as soon as they met.
Its body had grown larger, and it had vigorously extracted Volcanic Super Magic from about a dozen active volcanoes in the Endless Volcano Cluster. Several nearly extinguished, and the rest seemed about to go dormant. For this reason, Leo had to go deeper into the magma to find more Volcanic Super Magic.
But through their mind-meld connection, Liszt found that the deeper the layer of magma, the less Volcanic Super Magic there was available.
In Leo’s memory, that magma lacked sufficient magic power, and with its current Magic Form, it couldn’t delve any deeper.
“Eat, eat, eat. You always want Red Dragon Water when we meet. It’s really hard to maintain you!” Liszt reluctantly took out a vial of Red Dragon Water and stuffed it into Leo’s gaping mouth.
Among all dragons, Leo was most dependent on and in need of Magic Potions.
Although the other dragons couldn’t do without Magic Potions either, they only required enough to maintain essential magic power supply. Their magic power was more like three meals a day, entering a dragon’s body to be digested and ultimately transformed into a special Dragon Magic Power that enriched mineral resources.
Formless Dragon Bard was even more unique. Its Space Gem production was scarce and had to be condensed through Superior Magic.
Its ordinary Dragon Magic Power couldn’t produce minerals, primarily used to travel through space, resonating with the material boundary and the realms beyond.
Only Leo would eat as much Magic Potion as you gave it without producing anything, just continually growing in size.
“I need to socialize with the Red and White Rose Family again soon and have them send me a batch of Red Dragon Water. However, this is not a long-term solution, as the Steel Ridge Royal Family and the Platinum Family would not allow the Red Dragon Water to keep flowing to me… It would be best to find a new cluster of volcanoes.”
The Flame Islands no longer have any new volcano clusters, apart from a few other islands besides Flame Island, which have volcanoes but no exposed magma.
Unless there is a volcanic eruption, even if an active volcano is found, magma might not be seen.
…
This practice lasted until it got dark.
When Liszt returned to the Phoenix Perch Parasol Forest, Paris quickly reported, “Your Highness, after you left, another group of Red Sparrow Birds arrived, and among them, there were unexpectedly five Flame Dragon Birds, just like Little Yellow, Little Red, and Little Purple!”
“What?”
Liszt was shocked. The Flame Dragon Bird was a mount he had always wanted to capture and tame, but despite the myriad legends about Phoenixes everywhere, they were almost never actually found.
He had never expected that planting the parasol tree would truly draw a golden Phoenix.
He quickly used the Crystal White Trajectory, looked over the sleeping Phoenix Perch Parasol Forest, and soon noticed amongst the red magic powers, five strands of magic whose colors were more vivid, already advancing into High Magic—indeed they were Flame Dragon Birds.
“Four large Flame Dragon Birds, in pairs of two, and one smaller Flame Dragon Bird is on its own,” his eyes gleaming, “Capture them, we must capture them, let them breed with Little Yellow, Little Red, and Little Purple, providing a constant supply of Flame Dragon Bird mounts for my Royal Knight Squad!”
Of course, capturing them doesn’t necessarily mean violence. With Annie, the Greater Elf who is close to Flame Dragon Birds and understands their language, perhaps there could be a shortcut.
And moreover, there is a Fire Dragon here, representing the ultimate power of the Flame.
Taming the Flame Dragon Birds would absolutely be more efficient.
With this in mind, he summoned the Smoke Mission, and this time, the mission changed: “Complete the mission, reward a group of Red Sparrow Birds.”
In a moment, new Serpent Script condensed.
“Mission: The appearance of the Red Sparrow Birds indicates the attractiveness of the Phoenix Perch Parasol Forest to Fire Attribute birds, and yet, the group of birds unexpectedly includes Flame Dragon Birds, the relationship within the flock is worth investigating. However, it seems Leo has made some discovery, why not take a look? Reward: Mysterious Creature.”
“Hm?”
After reading the mission content, Liszt unconsciously furrowed his brows—the mission’s introduction and conclusion were clearly disjointed, two unrelated segments.
The first half was still discussing the relationship between the Flame Dragon Birds and Red Sparrow Birds.
The latter half jumps directly to Leo.
He quickly contacted Leo using the Dragon Heart Electrical Signal and waited a while before receiving a response. A vague thought surfaced, as it seemed that it had discovered a strange place deep in the Volcano Crater, where there was a passage without magma, and something deeply alluring to it seemed to be calling from deep within the passage.
Approximately the “Unknown Creature” that the Smoke Mission intended to reward.
Even though Leo struggled to enter the passage, the Magic Form couldn’t leave the magma, and if it transformed into a body of flesh, the magma passage was too narrow.
This left it in a dilemma.
Liszt quickly realized this was a good opportunity to facilitate Leo in synchronizing with the practice of its Armor Form: “You can’t get in, but that doesn’t mean I can’t, Leo. I have a way to infiltrate the passage, but I’ll need your cooperation, understand?”
