nNaturally, it was impossible for Wei Xiao Bei to stay in that kind of situation for more than 20 seconds. His skin had already turned black and some parts cracked, exposing the red blood and flesh underneath.

nAfter his flesh touched the lava, the pain intensified to the point that he was letting out soft groans.

nHowever, in the next moment, the pain intermingled with a numbing feeling.

nWei Xiao Bei was already familiar with his feeling.

nIt was the same itch when his skin and muscles were regenerating.

n

n

nAfter slightly adapting to the temperature, Wei Xiao Bei continued to advance. He extended his arms to feel the surroundings and borrowed his decreased perception to find Dragon Excrement Rock.

nIn truth, the temperature of five meters into the lava pool had already exceeded 1,200 degrees Celcius.

nAfter walking to the 8-meter distance, the temperature had reached roughly 1,500 degrees Celcius.

nAt this point, Wei Xiao Bei did not dare to go deeper.

nIf he continued going deeper, the temperature that was more than 1,500 would begin damaging him even if he had 50% damage reduction from Flame Immunity.

nUnder this situation, Wei Xiao Bei could at most endure for half a minute. Afterward, his entire body would begin burning down and become roasted ashes in just a few seconds.

nNext, Wei Xiao Bei stayed 8-meters from shore and began searching. From time to time, he would be able to pick up some Excrement, but after 10 seconds, he began to retreat.

nHowever, even if that was so, half of Wei Xiao Bei’s body was already roasted. He also had to stay inside the lava lake and endure the stench. He was able to quickly recover after eating Rare-Quality roasted meat and drinking some World Tree Sap.

nWith that said, at this position, the Excrement that he was able to pick up was a lot more than when he was digging things up by the shore. Moreover, the age had begun to increase.

nSeeing that his body was capable of enduring the damage, Wei Xiao Bei did not plan to stay on shore for long. Moreover, his storage bracelet would not burn, and he still had some more food.

n

n

nAfter soaking in the lava lake, Wei Xiao Bei could feel his resistance to the flames increasing. Although the rate of increase was slow, it was indeed increasing.

nNaturally, when he crossed the 8-meter distance, this increase would become more outstanding.

nIt was just a lot more consuming to recover.

nThere was no doubt that this act was self-harm!

nHowever, the benefits were great.

nJust when the food inside the storage bracelet was about to be emptied, Wei Xiao Bei who was moving in the lava suddenly stiffened and fell on the lava, half floating, half sinking.

nThis was not something he did on his own accord, but at that moment, he had lost control of his body. A strange change was taking place inside and outside his body.

nThe lava rippling outside his body was gradually changing from hot to warm. Some of the liquid even entered his body through his back, causing him to feel as if he was in a hot spring.

nAfter it entered his body, Wei Xiao Bei could clearly feel his internal body changing. A strand of heat was moving inside of him, causing his body to burn up.

nHowever, he could only judge that these changes were good for him, but he was unsure of what was actually happening.

n

n

nAfter 20 minutes, Wei Xiao Bei finally regained control of his body.

nJust when he had recovered his body, he felt that he was able to resist the heat more.

nAfter a thought, he inspected his status panel.

nChanges had indeed occurred.

nFlame Immunity (Low) had changed to Flame Immunity (Medium).

nFlame Immunity (Medium): Host is completely immune to damage from flames below 1,200 degrees Celsius. Host resists 90% damage from flames under 2,000 degrees Celsius. Host resists 50% damage from flames above 2,000 degrees Celsius. To level up this skill, host needs to bathe in the blood of monsters with a higher rank.

nWei Xiao Bei tested it out. He walked toward the 8 meters into the lava. Before this, he would be burned when he exceeded the 8 meters, but now it was only skin damage.

nAfter feeling a slight pain, Wei Xiao Bei relaxed enormously.

nHis Flame Immunity had increased. This meant that the majority of the lava in the Real World could not harm him.

nVery good!

n

n

nWei Xiao Bei turned around toward the shore as he was now hungry. After taking out the last few sticks of roasted meat, he ate them with great relish.

nThere was no problem that he had no more food in the storage bracelet. He looked inside the storage bracelet to find that he still had 4 more Giant Python corpses that were enough to replenish his food supply.

nAfter calling back the Fire Giants, Wei Xiao Bei took out a Giant Python from his storage bracelet.

nThe Giant Python’s size might be small when it was compared to those of the same race, but it was still like a train with its body that was tens of meters long.

nWei Xiao Bei took out a pile of long swords made from the stegosaurus spines. After he made a command, the Fire Giants began their work. They each picked up a sword and began cutting away at the corpse.

nAfter the Giant Python died, its skin softened a lot, but it was still rather tough. If it was a normal person, even if they used a sharp sword, they might not cut through.

nHowever, the Fire Giants had a lot of strength. Once the long sword cut down, the skin of the Giant Python was being peeled and stored inside Wei Xiao Bei’s storage bracelet.

nThese Giant Pythons were 4-Star Elite Creatures. While they were alive, their scales were incredibly tough. After dying, their scales could become a good material for weapons.

nAfter putting away the skin and scales of the python, Wei Xiao Bei took out a piece of Excrement that had not yet reached one year. He urged the Dragon Soul on his forehead, causing flames to appear on the Excrement.

nThe Dragon Excrement Rock might sound bad, but it was actually a great treasure.

n

n

nIt could serve as refining material when the Dragon Fire inside it could be urged to become a source of fire. Its benefits could not be substituted by other materials.

nAt this time, the Fire Giants had cut up the top grade snake meat. Wei Xiao Bei then skewered them and placed them on the flames from the Dragon Excrement Rock. He brushed oil, seasoned with salt, cumin, hot pepper, and turned the meat from time to time.

nSoon, the delicious smell began to pervade the air.

nAfter the first lot of meat was cooked, he felt a slight chill from behind as if a giant beast was looking at him.

nHowever, he did not panic.

nThe reason was simple. Wei Xiao Bei was already familiar with the gaze. There was no doubt that the delicious scent of food had roused Ao Yan from his slumber.

nAfter using Response Pulse, it was indeed as he had expected. The massive Dragon head was now directly behind him. Two car-sized eyes were staring at the meat in his hands, and nostrils were breathing out strongly.

nThis made Wei Xiao Bei recall the time when he was young where he stared at the jianbing stall.

nIt seemed that the pursuit of food was not limited to humans.

nFinally, the snake meat was cooked. Before Wei Xiao Bei could take away the meat, a long tongue stretched over and swayed in front of Wei Xiao Bei.

nWei Xiao Bei sighed and couldn’t help but put the meat on Ao Yan’s tongue.

nAs soon as the meat was placed on his tongue, he pulled it back quickly. Ao Yan immediately let out a moan of satisfaction.

nSince Ao Yan had woken up, Wei Xiao Bei could not just follow how he cooked for him previously.

nOtherwise, even if he Wei Xiao Bei exhausted himself, he would not be able to fill Ao Yan’s stomach.

nIt must be known that Ao Yan was very big. An entire Giant Python might not fill up 80% of his stomach.

nJust like that, Wei Xiao Bei began to negotiate with Ao Yan. He asked him to make him a big wok to help him with cooking.

nAo Yan was without a doubt a big foodie. After hearing that Wei Xiao Bei could cook other delicious dishes other than roasted meat, he could not endure anymore. He extended his claws and began to dig up car-sized Dragon Excrement Rocks.

nWei Xiao Bei was only able to use Enlightenment for a moment before Ao Yan shot flames at the rocks. Immediately after, a huge flame erupted and floated in the air as if a tiny sun.

nThe temperature was so high that Wei Xiao Bei was forced 20 steps back.

nThere was no doubt that Ao Yan did not need the Dragon Flame Cauldron to refine items. After spitting some more flames on the rocks, he took a large chunk of fiery red rock on his body and inserted it inside. For a period of time, Wei Xiao Bei could see a few damaged Dragon Scales fall off Ao Yan’s body.

nJust from this, Wei Xiao Bei could tell that the quality of this big wok would be better quality than his Dragon Fire Cauldron.

nIt must be known that the main ingredient for his Cauldron was a 300-year-old Dragon Excrement Rock adding the Yin Flame Cauldron as a source of fire.

nHowever, this big wok was made using a 400-year-old Dragon Excrement Rock. It should be the best of its kind. Moreover, a log of Fiery Rocks and even 3 pieces of Fire Dragon Scale were mixed in.

nAlthough the Dragon Scales looked damaged, they were still Dragon Scales.

nDragon Scales were things that could not be obtained unless the Dragon was willing to give, or unless one killed a Dragon.

nHowever, who was willing to go kill a Dragon?

nWei Xiao Bei already understood that in the Dust World, true Dragons like Ao Yan were not like the reptilian dragons from the west. These true Dragons were real immortals that could become powerful supporters.

nNot to mention, just his parents were existences who could not be provoked.

nProvoking Ao Yan was also a bad thing. Wei Xiao Bei calculated that even if he rose to become a 4-Star Elite Creature, he might not even be able to last a second fighting with him.

nThis could not be helped. A true Dragon was simply too different from a human. Just the size alone was enough to oppress any opponent.
