I looked around and found no other living creatures.

In the clicking sound, my form quickly changed, and in the blink of an eye, I returned to my true form as a fifty-meter-long black dragon. A terrifying suction force came from the dragon's mouth like an abyss, and in an instant, a dozen demon dogs rushed over excitedly, suffocating in one mouthful.

With a flash of black light, I transformed back into the form of a three-meter-tall dragon man and touched my belly, which had not changed at all.

"It's not enough to fill the gap between my teeth."

As the dragon's body continues to grow, even when I'm not in a feasting state, my daily food intake has reached a very exaggerated level, with units measured in hundreds of tons.

And it digests quickly.

For example, the dozen low-level demon dogs I had just eaten were already digested in just two steps.

Next, as I got closer to the active volcano, I encountered more and more abyssal creatures.

However, most of them were low-level beast-type demons, and the number of intermediate-level beast-type demons was very small.

There are millions of types of demons. Generally, demons in human form have stronger potential and higher intelligence, while beast-shaped demons tend to have lower intelligence and ability, but have huge bodies and strong fighting capabilities.

I walked all the way, eating the automatically delivered buffet, and finally stopped at the erupting mouth of the active volcano and burped.

A large amount of magma continuously gushed out from the volcanic vent, painting golden and red strokes on the huge dry and cracked mountain.

I was walking in magma that was more than a thousand degrees Celsius, my legs completely trapped in it, but I only felt a warm touch.

Although I am a black dragon, I expectedly do not hate this hot environment. Ultimately, I possess the lineage of one of the most formidable dragons in existence, capable of achieving body temperatures in the billions of degrees Celsius.

Lowering my head and taking a look into the crater, my eyes lit up.

A large amount of red ore grew on the stone walls inside the crater. The dragon, who was good at identifying treasures, recognized what it was at a glance—a vein of fire element minerals.

"No wonder I was attracted to it from afar. It turns out there is a treasure," I grinned.

The dragon's ability to hunt for treasure is extremely powerful, and this has been proven once again through practical application.

Standing on the top of the thousand-foot-high active volcano, I looked around and found that there was still no problem. I transformed into the black dragon and plunged into the lava of the crater.

The Abyss Dragon swallowed dozens of tons of fire element ore in one mouthful. The space bag in the reverse scale shone slightly, and all the fire element ore entered it.

---

The first day into the abyss.

Eat all you can at the buffet and start digesting and mining after meals.

The volcano is very large, and there are quite a lot of fire element mineral veins in it, but this is no big deal for me, who appears in the true form of the fifty-meter black dragon.

In just a few moments, the miniature fire element vein inside the volcano was collected by my claws.

"The space bags are full."

At some point, I stopped.

In addition to several space bags filled with treasures, I also brought a bunch of empty space bags during my trip to the abyss.

Although the quantity is large, they are basically several cubic meters in size, and some are more than ten cubic meters in size.

Under the violent mining, these space bags were all filled.

"It seems it's time to learn a space storage spell," I said to myself.

Glancing at the remaining scattered fire element ores, I ignored them and continued swimming deeper into the magma.

The dragon's intuition told me that there were more precious treasures deep in the volcano.

The fire element mineral vein on the periphery is only of low quality, which is a considerable amount of wealth for an average adult dragon, but for me, who controls the entire Black Wing Lair and has a territory covering millions of square kilometers, additionally three small kingdoms. it's just average.

The reason why I was so excited was just because I felt happy about the pie falling from the sky.

It's like picking up a hundred-dollar bill while walking. It's not much, but it's pleasant.

This active volcano is as high as a thousand feet, but its actual depth is far more than a thousand feet. A thousand feet is just the height that protrudes from the surface of the body. The depth of the foundation underground is the main body of the volcano.

The black-scaled giant beast swam downstream like a sharp arrow. Sometimes I encountered fire element crystals floating in the magma and picked them up.

Under the same quality, the value of fire element crystals is higher than that of fire element ores. The former is mainly used for cultivation and as energy, while the latter is the basic material for making equipment, buildings, magic circles, etc.

"The abyss is really rich."

I, who went deep into the magma and picked up hundreds of low-quality, low-level fire element crystals, couldn't help but sigh.

If active volcanoes with such resources were everywhere in the abyss, just by picking up garbage every day, in less than a month, it would be possible to have a wealth comparable to that of the Black Dragon Lady, who had accumulated it for more than a hundred years.

Just when I was greedy and eager for the rich material of the abyss, a mysterious wave below tried to approach me.

Sneak attack?

I pretended not to notice and continued to go deeper.

At a certain moment, with a hiss, a long red figure that was almost dissolved in the magma tried to bite me.

Clang!

At the critical moment, the huge black dragon claws directly grabbed the red figure's head.

At this time, I also saw clearly what the creature was that attacked me.

A fire python that was more than 20 meters long, the aura fluctuations in its body had reached a high order.

The huge head of the fire python struggled wildly in the black dragon's claws, and the terrifying golden-red flames rose from its body, trying to burn the black dragon's claws to ashes.

Unfortunately, the golden-red flame with a temperature of at least several thousand degrees licked the black dragon scales, only making the black dragon scales brighter and brighter as they were absorbing heat.

"Polish it for me, right?" I laughed ferociously, pinched the huge black dragon claw slightly, and the fire python's head shattered into pieces.

Ignoring the body of the fire python that was still twitching and struggling, my claws pointed at it, picked it up, and ate it like a spicy stick.

Hiccup~

I'm really full now.

Having eaten at least hundreds of beast-shaped demon creatures before, and now eating an abyss high-order fire python, even I was somewhat overstuffed.

"Isn't this fire python the owner of this active volcano?" I guessed in my mind.

When I first discovered the fire element vein, I guessed that there was a high probability of some kind of powerful fire creature in this volcano.

This kind of environment, not to mention that it is very easy to breed fire-type creatures, even if it does not breed, it will attract fire-type creatures to gather and occupy it.

The beast-shaped demonic creatures encountered outside the volcano should have been attracted by the rich fire element environment here, so it makes no sense that there is no life in the volcano with a richer fire element.

"No, that fire python is just a very ordinary high-order creature, not enough to occupy such a volcanic treasure."

Thinking of this, I stopped going deeper, recited the spell silently, and released a second-tier Exploration Eye spell. The invisible Exploration Eye continued to penetrate into the depths of the volcano, while I transformed into dragon form on the magma mountain wall. I found a random cave and crawled in, waiting for the results of the spell's detection.

---

It turns out that the fire python that attacked me was indeed not the owner of the volcano.

Under the observation of the Exploration Eye, seven or eight kilometers further down in the depths of the magma, there were still many sleeping fire pythons whose size was not inferior to the one just now.

The Exploration Eye continued to go deeper—twelve thousand meters, fifteen thousand meters, twenty thousand meters.

In the lava that almost turned golden, two huge golden-red lava eyes suddenly opened and looked at the invisible detection spell.

In an instant, the second-level magic detection spell collapsed and dissipated.

Before the Exploration Eye dissipated, the last scene was transmitted to my mind.

It was a terrifying fire python with a body length of more than a hundred meters, and golden-red crystals growing on the back of the huge snake's body.

"This big guy is the master of this volcano, right?" I grinned, showing no fear.

Judging from the aura erupting from the opponent, this terrifying-looking fire python was not yet a legendary creature.

But it wasn't an ordinary top-order creature either.

If I had to make a comparison in terms of aura strength, it would probably be comparable to the Black Dragon Lady who fought the wild dwarves with all her strength more than ten years ago.

"Just in time, the next feast time is coming soon," my eyes flashed with greed.

So far, in the last five years after Dal Kingdom, I had only eaten top-order creatures one time, which was the black-horned python that was killed by Blaine among the four top-level monsters that led an army of monsters to attack the Black Wing Lair a few years ago.

The four top monsters that attacked—Cyclops and Cloud Eagle—were captured alive and swore to surrender. I signed a kinship contract with the two of them, making them the fifth and sixth master-order experts in Black Wing Lair. The first is the rock dragon Puck, the second is the jackal leader Blaine, the third is the griffon Bray, and the fourth is the she-crane Bertha.

After that, there are Mundo, Skye, Danyla, Winnie, Shea, Ava, and other senior dependents who are close to the master level.

Of course, this does not include the forces in the Underdark or In sea The Noah Turtle, where most of the army has top-level power just because of their age. There is also the Gold Dragon Geraint and the Silver Dragon Argenta, who are leading the drow as my representatives. I know the nature of the drow—unless there is someone truly strong there, there will always be rebellions. With Arthas, the three of them tightly hold the leash on the drow, while the remaining work is handled by Elise, Maya, and sometimes Winnie, who puts them in their place.

Only a few people knew about the existence of both forces.

Recalling the smell of the top monster—the black-horned python—I salivated.

Let's not talk about taste; just the improvement alone. Eating that black-horned python for a feast provided strengthening effects comparable to three or four regular feasts!

In the past, I was not in a hurry to improve over the last few years.

But things are different now. The current situation prevents me from continuing to slowly and steadily improve unless I am willing to voluntarily give up the foundation I have built in the Tal Plane.

These thoughts only flashed through my mind, and I, having made a decision, cast a return-nature invisibility spell on myself. I tried my best to restrain the power of the dragon and quietly dived into the depths of the magma in dragon form.

During the process, I cleverly avoided the sleeping positions of more than a dozen high-order fire pythons.

These little guys would be settled later.

I set up ten return-nature third-tier guard enchantment spells in the crater in advance. The third-tier spell is a mid-level spell. The return-level third-tier barriers can withstand one or two full-force attacks from ordinary high-order creatures. With ten enchantments, it can hinder these fire pythons for some time and prevent them from escaping.

And if I encountered an unexpected situation and needed to escape, I could also use this to hinder the pursuit of this group of abyssal fire pythons.

Although I may seem careless, I'm actually very cautious.

'Arrive.'

I looked down at the terrifying abyssal fire python curled up on top of a pile of crystals emitting rich fire elemental light. The acid dragon breath and the demonic eye charged up at the same time. At the moment of charging, I transformed back into the true form of the black dragon.

Roar!

The breath of dark green acid liquid, several meters in diameter, carried terrifying corrosive and impactful power, breaking through the heavy golden magma and blasting out a huge channel.

But what arrived earlier than the dragon's breath was the attack of black light from the demonic eye's material attack.

The reaction speed of this terrifying abyssal fire python was extremely quick. When the lava eyes opened, a golden fire pillar spewed out from the snake's mouth.

The black light, more than ten centimeters thick, broke through the golden fire pillar—five to six meters in diameter—at an extremely powerful speed. In the end, its power was reduced by most of its strength as it bombarded the red-gold snake scales of the abyssal fire python, leaving a very deep blood hole. At the same time, the annihilation and destructive power brought by the black light quickly eroded the vitality of the abyssal fire python from within.

After being injured, the abyssal fire python screamed wildly, increasing the output intensity of the golden fire pillar and clashing with the belated acid dragon's breath, annihilating each other. The faintly dark green acid dragon breath slightly fell to a disadvantage.

"The fire element here is too strong. This abyssal fire python is greatly enhanced here, but I am slightly weakened." This thought flashed through my mind, but I remained confident in hunting this terrifying fire python.

The demonic eye on the dragon's forehead flashed an invisible spiritual shock, blasting toward the abyssal fire python.

When the abyssal fire python sensed the invisible threat approaching, it couldn't avoid it. The two types of attacks from the demonic eye—material black light and spiritual impact—pursue extreme speed. When the difference in strength isn't large, it's nearly impossible to avoid unless one specializes in speed.

Silently, the spiritual world of the abyssal fire python became turbulent, and the spiritual light in its giant lava eyes fell into a sluggish state.

Void Walk.

Silently, I blinked and instantly appeared above the abyssal fire python. My powerful black hind dragon claws directly stepped on its massive head.

The terrifying impact spread throughout the deepest part of the volcano. Fire element crystals and the hard lava ground lying under the abyssal fire python shattered and cracked.

The hard snake scales collapsed everywhere, and precious snake blood flowed like free money.

I opened my bloody mouth and bit the abyssal fire python's thick neck.

Two giant beasts rolled under the volcano.

The enormous movement caused the volcanic magma, which had gradually stopped spewing, to erupt in a new round of violent spewing.

"Dead?!"

Under the volcano, the giant black dragon's tail wrapped around the tail of the abyssal fire python. Thousands of tons of weight pressed on the opponent's thick, long body. My dragon claws violently struck and slapped the opponent's already bloody snake head. From time to time, the demonic eye shot out a ray of black light, breaking through the opponent's fire element defense, snake scale defense, and skull condensed on the snake's head, and the concussion consumed the brain.

Throughout the process, the abyssal fire python used various means to struggle, resist, and evade. However, its once-unmatched snake body strength and the terrifying heat of its spell-like flames couldn't escape the black dragon riding it.

Gradually, the abyssal fire python's spiritual intelligence became more and more chaotic. Finally, at a certain moment, the huge red-gold snake head turned into a pile of rotten flesh, its brain collapsed, and its aura rapidly declined until it died.

Seeing that I had finally killed the abyssal fire python, I relaxed, stood up from the fire python with a grin on my face, and touched my dragon's butt and tail. There was a sizzling sound, and a smell of meat wafted into the air.

I guessed it was already well-cooked.

The opponent's whole body burst into burning golden flames. The temperature was so high that it caused magma to boil.

If this abyssal fire python were more tenacious, I might have had to consider whether to use long-range attacks to kill it, instead of recklessly fighting it up close like this.

Now, it was time to deal with another matter—those dozen high-order fire pythons.
