Chapter 215: Searching for the Holy Dragon (Part Four)
A bullet, aside from being fired by the impact of the firing pin striking the base of the cartridge to ignite the gunpowder inside, can also be discharged through another method: using high temperatures to cause an explosion of the gunpowder within the cartridge, such as through flames. In this forest, after the self-detonation attack of the Fire Armored Dragon, flames were abundant, especially in the small patches of grass surrounding Ye Huan, which were still burning fiercely.
Clutching the bullets of his M60 machine gun tightly, Ye Huan gently placed the bottoms of two bullets into the burning grass to heat them up, continuously adjusting their aim as he focused on the bulbous eyes of the Frost Lizard. He prayed fervently that he would hit his target; otherwise, with only two bullets in hand, he would never get a second chance.
Boom! Boom!
In just four or five seconds, as the flames generated enough heat, the sound of two bullets bursting from their casings echoed. Ye Huan barely felt the pain in his hands and even shut his eyes tightly, praying that all deities would bless him with a precise hit.
Perhaps Ye Huan's prayers were answered, or perhaps Lady Luck was simply enamored by his charm. Regardless, both bullets struck true just before the Frost Lizard unleashed its Eighth-Level Spell at Ye Huan. Ironically, one bullet hit its right eye as intended, while the other veered off and lodged itself in its mouth.
Like a fart blocked by a bullet, the Frost Lizard had no choice but to close its mouth. With its eyes injured and in pain, tragedy struck: what should have been an icy spell aimed at Ye Huan exploded within the Frost Lizard's mouth.
According to conclusions drawn by people on the Nine Provinces Continent, while higher-level magical beasts do have thicker skin, it was never claimed that their internal organs or mouths were sturdier than those of humans. Thus, when the ice magic detonated inside the Frost Lizard's mouth, icy crystals began to spread from its tightly shut jaws, quickly freezing its head into a solid sculpture.
"Damn it! Two Eighth-Level Magical Beasts—do they really have to go this far? I'm a Sixth-Level Summoner!"
Cursing aloud, Ye Huan had long since discarded his earlier prayers. As he grumbled and pondered ways to escape, he found himself growing increasingly frustrated when he failed twice to break through the thin layer of ice encasing him. He couldn't help but think of Ye Luo; however, they were still over fifty meters apart. Would Ye Luo even hear him if he called out?
Cursing himself for pretending to be some kind of expert, Ye Huan felt that if Ye Luo were here, he wouldn't be in such a dire situation. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He needed to vent his frustration and couldn't help but shout at the top of his lungs: "Ye Luo! Ye Luo! Come save me!"
"Young Master, what happened?"
Just as Ye Huan's voice faded away, Ye Luo's voice suddenly rang out behind him. Startled, Ye Huan thought he might be imagining things until he turned around and saw Ye Luo quickly approaching him.
After parting ways with Ye Huan, Ye Luo waited for a while but did not see any sign of her. Accompanied by the self-detonation of the Fire Armored Dragon, he couldn't help but feel uneasy. After all, in his heart, he had already caused Ye Tian to suffer from a deadly poison. If anything were to happen to Ye Huan, how could he still be worthy of being called Ye Butler by her?
With this mindset, Ye Luo cautiously made his way over and was relieved to find Ye Huan lying on the ground, unable to move. He rushed to her side and began to ask questions.
After recounting what had happened, Ye Huan resolved in her heart that she would never again covet the worthless Eighth-Level Monster Core. She recalled how Dongfang Hao had casually taken hundreds of them back in Southern Xiong Lei Yun City, while she had to risk her life just to obtain a single Beast Inner Pill. Her luck was truly abysmal.
Feeling frustrated and still bound by the icy crystals on her body, Ye Huan turned to Ye Luo and asked, "Ye Luo, do you have any good methods to help me break free from these icy crystals?"
"Young Master, it’s quite simple to remove the icy crystals caused by the Frost Lizard's attack. However, you might have to endure some pain…"
Ye Luo quickly responded. He raised his hand, and a gleaming D80 Tiger Tooth Bayonet appeared in his grasp as he thrust it heavily toward Ye Huan.
"Wait! Are you really going to kill me for two Beast Inner Pills?"
Seeing the D80 Tiger Tooth Bayonet descending, Ye Huan couldn't bear to watch as it pierced into her body. She closed her eyes, imagining all the possible reasons why Ye Luo would do such a thing. But after about two minutes without feeling any pain, she opened her eyes again and was taken aback to see Ye Luo scraping at her arm with the D80 Tiger Tooth Bayonet, attempting to use the most primitive method to deal with the thin layer of icy crystals.
Surprisingly enough, though it was a crude approach, it proved effective. In just a few minutes, the already thin layer of icy crystals on Ye Huan's body was reduced to merely the thickness of a piece of paper. With a slight exertion of force, all the icy crystals on her limbs shattered instantly. However, those ruptured blisters would likely take some time to heal.
After moving her somewhat stiff limbs and regaining the ability to move independently, Ye Huan's first thought was about those two Eighth-Level Monster Cores since they were what she had risked her life for.
She stepped over to where the Fire Armored Dragon had fallen and picked up its fist-sized crimson inner core. Then she remembered to approach the Frost Lizard's body and took out the D80 Tiger Tooth Bayonet to make an incision.
Without the protective icy crystals on its surface, the Frost Lizard's head began to feel cold after being frozen. Given that Eighth-Level Magical Beasts have tough skin, Ye Huan had to scrape for quite a while with the D80 Tiger Tooth Bayonet before finally locating its inner core.
The inner core of the Frost Lizard was identical in size and weight to that of the Fire Armored Dragon; however, while the Fire Armored Dragon's inner core was a fiery red, that of the Frost Lizard resembled clear blue river water.
As she toyed with both Eighth-Level Magical Beast inner cores and was about to pop one into her mouth, Ye Huan suddenly realized that these inner cores would hardly enhance her strength even by one percent. Rather than waste them on herself, it would be better to give them to someone who truly needed Eighth-Level Monster Cores.
Just as this thought crossed her mind and before she could store both inner cores in her Spatial Ring, Ye Luo suddenly spoke up beside her and asked, "Young Master, if you don’t plan on using these two Beast Inner Pills, could you give them to me?"
"To you? If I remember correctly, Ye Butler, you should be an Eighth-Level Practitioner, right? What use could an Eighth-Level Monster Core have for you?"
Looking at Ye Luo in surprise, it wasn't that Ye Huan was stingy; rather, he was genuinely curious about what an Eighth-Level Practitioner would do with an Eighth-Level Monster Core. Could it be that the inner core had some special effect?
As if confirming Ye Huan's speculation, Ye Luo slowly replied, "Young Master, you may not know this, but two opposing high-level Beast Inner Pills are treasures that martial artists can only hope to encounter. However, if one can obtain them and swallow them to create two Spirit Pearls capable of absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, then a martial artist's strength could double..."
Doubling a martial artist's strength was a concept that Ye Huan found hard to grasp, but it sounded impressive. Without hesitation, he presented the two recently acquired Eighth-Level Monster Cores to Ye Luo and said, "Since you need them so much, here you go! By the way, with such large Beast Inner Pills, where do you plan to store them after swallowing?"
"Young Master, did you forget that once the inner core enters the body, it becomes part of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy?" Ye Luo shook his head with a wry smile. He realized that his Young Master was quite forgetful. After receiving the two Eighth-Level Monster Cores, he pointed to two spots on his shoulders and explained, "Young Master, these will hang in the body in an inverted triangle shape corresponding to the Spirit Pearl in the lower abdomen that absorbs Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy."
Lower abdomen? Isn't that the Dantian?
Furrowing his brows, Ye Huan thought that martial artists were indeed somewhat similar to Cultivators. However, while Cultivators had a complete cultivation system, martial artists relied on self-absorption for their training. It was no wonder that Eastern State Golden Core Stage Cultivators became invincible upon arriving in Jiuzhou; for example, Lingxiao and himself were living proof of this.
Contemplating whether to research ways to enhance the strength of Dragon Hall members as well, Ye Huan turned around only to be astonished to see Ye Luo had already swallowed both Beast Inner Pills!
Where were they? The Northern Liang Mountain Range! A place teeming with magical beasts! They had almost suffered a great loss from just one Frost Lizard; why was Ye Luo choosing to consume Beast Inner Pills here?
Secretly cursing Ye Luo for being so reckless, he didn't realize that Ye Luo was equally excited about this action. With no other choice, Ye Huan summoned a Gatling gun and cautiously stood guard beside Ye Luo, fearing that any magical beast might come along at this moment and disrupt Ye Luo's strength enhancement...
