Beast Taming: I Can Bestow Entries-Chapter 360 - 299: Green Lotus Heart Fire!_2

"For the sake of delicious food, then—I’ll reluctantly be your bodyguard for a few days."

Chen Meng raised an eyebrow, chuckling as she spoke.

Somehow, the journey that had felt somewhat dry and boring now seemed to be filled with anticipation.

Sensing the excitement in Chen Meng’s heart, the Glowing Unicorn curled its lips.

When had it ever noticed that Mengmeng was such a tsundere?

"Sister Meng, were you originally planning to go after the Karma Fire Flame Dragon?"

Chen Mo pretended to be unaware of Chen Meng’s plans.

He certainly wouldn’t betray a certain sunshine and rainbow little white horse.

"Mm."

Chen Meng nodded, her eyes brimming with determination:

"This flame dragon killed my grandparents; I cannot let this vengeance go unanswered."

During their casual conversation, the two entered the secret realm, and immediately a towering volcano that reached the clouds came into view.

Brown flames and intense, scorching smoke burst forth from the volcano, almost as if some giant beast was breathing.

The entrance to the secret realm was located at the foot of the Red Lotus Volcano; centered around it was a stationed Spirit Guard Army.

This Spirit Guard Army was named the Bifang Army, and Bifang was a legendary bird known for controlling boundless fire.

And the main Spirit Beast of the Bifang Army’s commander, Liu Yan, was a Fierce Cloud Crane with Bifang’s bloodline.

The majority of the soldiers in the Bifang Spirit Guard Army were Fire Element Spirit Masters. With the abundant Fire Element Spiritual Power here, their Spiritual Beasts grew much faster than elsewhere.

"Master Chen Meng, Master Chen Mo, our commander invites you to sit down at the headquarters."

Just as the two emerged from the secret realm, they were greeted by a short-haired female soldier in camouflage military uniform who approached them with a salute, and spoke respectfully.

Although Chen Mo was still a High-level Spirit Master, Xiao Jiu had displayed combat power at the World Championships that exceeded the average Low-level Monarch Spiritual Beast, thus earning the moniker "Master."

"Okay, please lead the way."

Chen Meng lightly nodded.

She had come here many times before in search of the Karma Fire Flame Dragon, so she knew the commander, Liu Yan, well.

Moreover, maps of the interior of the Red Lotus Volcano were only available to the higher-ups of the Bifang Army.

Upon arriving at the headquarters, a woman with short hair as fiery red as flames, appearing to be in her forties, came over with a smile and greeted them:

"Welcome to the Bifang Army!"

The redhead was naturally the commander, Liu Yan.

When Chen Meng and Chen Mo applied to enter the Red Lotus Volcano’s secret realm, she received the news and immediately invited them over.

To her, the combination of these two young talents seemed quite fitting. She vaguely felt that their relationship was extraordinary.

"Sister Yan, long time no see."

"Senior Yan, hello!"

The two replied politely.

"Xiao Meng, you’ve come here this time presumably still in search of that flame dragon in the world’s core, right?"

Liu Yan, with her typical military style, didn’t bother with pleasantries and asked directly.

"Mm."

Chen Meng nodded.

"Take a piece of advice from Sister Yan; the world’s core is too dangerous for you now. It’s better to wait until your Spiritual Beasts reach the Overlord Stage before going!"

Liu Yan stated.

Chen Meng and Chen Mo could be said to be the strongest and most promising Spirit Masters among the young generation, the future of the Dongxia Spirit Master community; any loss to them was absolutely unacceptable!

Should any accident befall them in the core of the world, she could not bear that responsibility.

"My Guangyu has already reached the Overlord Stage."

Upon hearing this, Chen Meng said calmly.

Beside her, the Glowing Unicorn also cooperatively exuded a hint of the Overlord aura.

"Overlord Level!?"

Feeling the aura revealed by the Glowing Unicorn, Liu Yan fell silent for quite a while.

It seemed utterly incredible to her.

A Crown Spirit Master at 25 and a Master at 19, this was unheard of!

Are the youths of today all pushing themselves this hard?

Considering she was nearly 50 years old and still unable to break through to the rank of Crown Spirit Master, she couldn’t help but feel defeated.

"Since that’s the case, I won’t stop you anymore. However, the underworld is filled with many ancient totems and tribes; remember, do not provoke these powerful existences."

Liu Yan reminded them once more, and with that, she took out a map made from the skin of some Spiritual Beast from her Space Ring.

"This is a partial map of the internal areas of the Red Lotus Volcano and the underworld."

"Thank you, Sister Yan."

Chen Meng expressed her gratitude.

Previously, out of concern for Chen Meng’s safety, Liu Yan had refrained from giving her the map.

"Oh, there’s one more thing."

After handing the map to Chen Meng, Liu Yan slowly continued:

"The original guardian at the entrance to the underworld has been replaced.

The entrance to the underworld is located deep beneath the Spirit Realm. Though it is a part of the Spirit Realm, its long-term isolation from the world allows it to be considered an independent secret realm.

Legend has it that during the Totem Era, some totems, in order to avoid a great calamity, led their races underground and established this ’Taoyuan Realm.’

To prevent the entry of all sorts of people or Spiritual Beasts, the entrance to the underworld isn’t only strategically placed deep within the Red Lotus Volcano, but it is also guarded by an Overlord Level Guardian Spirit Beast.

The previous guardian was a Molten Rock Giant Crab that could be ’bribed.’ Usually, a historical-grade piece of a Fire Element mineral was enough to make it turn a blind eye.

"Now, the new guardian is a Red Teeth Snake Lord, who is very likely a descendant of some totem. When I visited before, it scorned the Molten Lava Heart I offered, stating that anyone who wants to enter the underworld must prepare a dish that satisfies its taste."

Liu Yan voiced her discovery.

"Food?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Meng instinctively looked towards Chen Mo.

She had absolute confidence in Chen Mo’s culinary skills.

Chen Mo’s presence was truly a great help this time!

"It seems you have already thought of a solution. I wish you good luck!"

Seeing the subtle interaction between the two, Liu Yan smiled.

After leaving the Bifang Base, the two sat on the island on the back of the Hanhai Dragon Whale, quickly arriving above the Red Lotus Volcano.

Looking down from above, they could see that the crater of the Red Lotus Volcano was a deep red Molten Lava Lake. At this moment, the lake was calm, with many Fire Element Spirit Fish swimming in the Molten Lava Lake, while the surface of the water was dotted with quiet, burning red flames.

Chen Mo’s mind was filled with information he had found these days:

The crater of the Red Lotus Volcano had a beautiful name, called Molten Mirror Lake.

By diving into the Molten Mirror Lake, you could enter the inner area of the Red Lotus Volcano.

Despite being filled with scorching magma inside, the Red Lotus Volcano had its own ecological system, housing many Fire Element Spiritual Beasts that feed on magma.

Among them are Commander Stage and even Monarch Stage mighty Spiritual Beasts.

If you dive down the Molten Mirror Lake for more than 20,000 meters, you’ll reach the entrance to the underworld.

That was their destination for this journey.

"Wuu~" frёewebηovel.cѳm

At that moment, the Wish-making White Fox, which was originally assigning tasks to the "working fox" through the Wish Star Stone, opened its eyes.

It sensed that the Fire Element Spiritual Power here was incredibly dense but contained a kinetically wild aura, which ordinary Fire Element Spiritual Beasts found difficult to directly absorb.

"Wuu—"

The Star Sea rolled around in the Molten Lava Lake, startling the Spirit Fish and causing them to frantically flee.

Because it practiced the True Dragon Secret Technique, its body had become extremely strong; entering the Molten Mirror Lake was no different from taking a warm bath for it.

Bing Lan, on the other hand, fluttered her wings lightly, releasing gusts of icy wind and creating a cool area around.

Feeling the bursts of coolness from the little blue bird’s body, Chen Meng felt that her quality of life seemed to have leaped significantly ever since she teamed up with Chen Mo!

"Let’s go!"

"Yi!"

The Bright Unicorn cast an advanced spell [Divine Protection]; a translucent light screen enveloped the two like a thin veil.

The light screen seemed delicate, but it was capable of withstanding most attacks from Low-level Overlords, so resisting tens of thousands of degrees of molten magma was naturally not a problem.

Once Spiritual Beasts reached the Overlord Level, most areas of the Spirit Realm no longer posed a threat to them.

Except for a few forbidden zones.

Such as the high altitudes beyond ten thousand meters, the Endless Sea, and... the depths of the underworld.
