Drinking Lava Raw, You Kid Are Ruthless

To be honest, the old man had lived for decades.

It was his first time encountering something so absurd.

Could it be?

Had this young man awakened the legendary Etherealization skill?

Or perhaps an SSS-rank skill that grants direct invincibility for a short duration?!

But...

Wasn't he only C-rank?

Since when could a C-rank Shield Guard awaken skills like Etherealization or invincibility?

This didn't make sense.

Suddenly, the old man thought of another possibility.

At this moment, Chen Ming had already come out holding the Azure Flame Molten Fire and the Moonlight Glaze.

"Your Moonlight resource."

Chen Ming was very straightforward, handing the Moonlight Glaze in his hand directly over.

This was what had been agreed upon beforehand.

He knew that the Moonlight Glaze was definitely just as precious and rare, on the same level as the Azure Flame Molten Fire.

But he was a man of his word, so he felt no reluctance at all.

Being able to obtain the Molten Fire was already a pleasant surprise.

Moreover, the attributes of this Moonlight resource were clearly incompatible with the Azure Flame resource.

He had already absorbed the Azure Flame, so naturally, the Moonlight Glaze was useless to him.

Unless he kept it for when he broke through 40% mental power in the future to awaken a skill.

The old man took the bottle Chen Ming handed over.

Looking at the crystal-clear Moonlight Glaze in his hand, wisps of silver light flowed within it.

The old man still felt it was somewhat unreal, then subconsciously glanced at the Azure Flame Molten Fire in Chen Ming's hand.

Unexpectedly, the next second he saw Chen Ming raise the bottle, tilt his head back...

And drink the Azure Flame Molten Fire in one gulp!

"You..."

The old man watched, dumbfounded.

What was this young man doing?

Although Azure Flame Molten Fire was a resource that could be absorbed by class-changers, it wasn't meant to be consumed by drinking it raw like this.

Setting aside the massive elemental energy contained within, this was molten fire condensed from flames!

How was this any different from drinking raw lava?

And he downed it in one go.

Wasn't he afraid that his internal organs would be burned through?

"Hiccup~"

The response to the old man was a rather loud burp.

He could even feel a scorching breath rushing toward his face.

What a foul breath!

Chen Ming rubbed his stomach, feeling a warmth inside his body.

He chose to drink the Azure Flame Molten Fire on the spot, and there was naturally a reason for doing so.

On one hand, the item was already in his hands.

Although he felt this Angel class old man wasn't a bad person, he still had to be on guard.

Even if he wasn't afraid of the old man suddenly attacking him, he was indeed worried about him attacking his resources.

If the other party wanted to snatch it, he certainly wouldn't be able to keep it.

So, he simply downed it in one gulp right in front of him!

He didn't have any ulterior motives; he was just being straightforward.

"Young man, you... are a ruthless one."

The old man also realized Chen Ming's intention in doing this.

At this moment, he turned his head to look in the direction of the night sky.

"The business is done, leave quickly."

Without a word, he grabbed Chen Ming by the shoulder.

White radiance surged around them, enveloping the old man and Chen Ming like a transparent shield.

A pair of white wings manifested, radiating light.

Then, the two figures turned into a streak of light, flying rapidly away from the depression and toward the Exotic Beast Forest.

On the other side.

Under the night sky.

The battle between the Pale Moon Wolf King and the Metal Crow had already ended.

At this level of combat, the outcome could naturally not be decided in a short time.

It was mostly just testing each other's strength.

After all, the Pale Moon Wolf King and the Inspector had no deep-seated grudges.

Both sides stopped at the appropriate point.

Otherwise, if either side were pushed to the brink and a real war broke out, it would be difficult to clean up the mess.

"Pale Moon Wolf King, are you willing to talk properly now?"

The Inspector stood with his hands behind his back, his figure suspended in the night sky.

"Hmph..."

The Pale Moon Wolf King was massive, casting a large shadow across the night sky, exuding the full pressure of a giant beast.

"Human... there is nothing to talk about..."

"Hm?"

Just then, the Pale Moon Wolf King's bright eyes suddenly jolted.

It whipped its head around to look behind it.

The next second, its huge body moved with a boom, crossing the entire valley at an almost incredible speed.

It descended above the area of the depression.

The Wolf King's gaze immediately locked onto the depression, and when it saw that the barrier had vanished, its eyes shot out blinding light.

However, seeing that its skill projection was still guarding this territory, it breathed a sigh of relief.

Yet.

When it entered the depression to investigate, its entire wolf body froze.

Empty...

The pool was empty!

"Awoooo!!!"

A roar of fury echoed throughout the entire valley.

The Pale Moon Wolf King was absolutely enraged.

Gone, everything was gone!

Not even a single drop was left for it.

"...Who... is it!!!"

A voice that resounded like thunder exploded across the entire surrounding region.

On the other side.

Watching the Pale Moon Wolf King suddenly depart, the several principals breathed a sigh of relief.

"The true strength of this Pale Moon Wolf King is likely already above level 50."

If not for the Inspector's presence, they, as the principals of Cloud Sea City, would likely not have been able to handle it.

"This matter must be taken seriously. A giant beast of this level appearing on the outskirts of our Cloud Sea City is a massive danger."

Principal Zhou of First High School said in a deep voice.

He said this for the Inspector to hear.

Given the overall strength of Cloud Sea City, it was still a bit of a stretch to deal with the Pale Moon Wolf King.

Therefore, they could only count on the higher-ups.

The principals of Third High School and Fifth High School, upon hearing this, also turned their gazes toward the Inspector ahead.

"I will report this matter to the Alliance and have them send more personnel to Cloud Sea City."

The Inspector gave the principals some peace of mind, saying, "I will remain in Cloud Sea City for this period to prevent the Wolf King from making any moves against the city."

"Also, how much do you know about this valley?"

The Inspector suddenly changed the subject, asking the three principals.

He had sensed that something was off about this territory from the moment he arrived; it was clearly not a normal region.

The appearance of the Pale Moon Wolf King here was proof enough of that.

After being prompted by the Inspector, the three principals also realized where the problem lay.

"This place..."

Before the words could be finished, they were cut off by a thunderous roar of fury.

The group looked toward the night sky not far away, only to see the Pale Moon Wolf King had doubled back.

Furthermore, its state seemed rather wrong.

Its size alone had surged to double what it was before!

Its eyes were blood-red, and its entire body radiated an aura of violent rage.

As it charged toward them, it felt as if it were crushing the very night sky beneath it.

"Why has this Wolf King suddenly gone mad?!"
