Chapter 517: Chapter 265: Conscientious Copy! (Two in One) _1 [The Heavenly Path’s Hint: There are multiple side quests in this instance. Here are the known three side quests, and it’s up to you to find the rest of them. "Side Quest One": Dragon Slaying The Adventurer’s Guild posted the first task, calling adventurers to the Flame Abyss Area of the lair to track and defeat a powerful Fire Dragon. This Fire Dragon possesses a blazing flame breath and fierce attack power, making it a significant threat within the lair. "Side Quest Two": Conquer the Ice Giant Beast The Adventurer’s Guild posted the second task, inviting adventurers to the Ice Peak Area of the lair to face a colossal Ice Giant Beast. This beast, with its extreme frost power and freezing attacks, can transform the surrounding area into a frozen land. "Side Quest Three": Challenge The Broken King The Adventurer’s Guild posted the third task, urging adventurers to go to the Shattered Realm Area of the lair to confront The Broken King. This monster possesses substantial destructive power and domain control ability, able to tear the earth and collapse mountains.] After reading The Heavenly Path’s hints, Chen Mo quickly scanned the passages around him. Only three of the lair’s passages were clearly marked as leading to specific monsters. The remaining five lair passages were entirely unknown. "Let’s deal with these three clearly identified side quest monsters first. Since we’re here, we should aim to maximize our rewards by completing all side quests," Chen Mo said after reading The Heavenly Path’s hints. "I just paid my tuition to tag along for the benefits; you decide," Yusheng Liuyin said, her red lips curving into a slight smile. Hearing Yusheng Liuyin, Chen Mo smiled and said, "Alright, let’s head to the lair for the first side quest then." Yusheng Liuyin nodded, and the two immediately flew side by side towards the Fire Dragon Lair. As they ventured deeper into the cavernous Fire Dragon Lair, Chen Mo and Yusheng Liuyin were met with a scorching heatwave. They hovered in the air, overlooking the majestic spectacle in the heart of the lair. The lava pools emitted a scorching red glow, the molten rock pulsating like the heartbeat of some colossal beast. The intense heat of the lava made the air shimmer and distort, while the dancing flames painted a breathtaking spectacle. The cavern walls, like the hide of a colossal beast, were covered in cracks and splattered lava. Under the lava’s glow, the patterns and textures on the cavern walls became distinctly visible, resembling a vast, ancient stone mural. The flowing lava carved peculiar patterns, like the tracks of a great dragon winding across the stone. The sound of the flowing lava resembled the low roar of a dragon, echoing through every corner of the cavern and inspiring profound awe. From high above, a massive lavafall cascaded down, a torrent of fire emitting a blinding radiance. The lavafall’s current surged like the very blood of the Fire Dragon—brilliant, accompanied by roaring heat and waves that stirred the soul. At the heart of the Fire Dragon Lair lay an immense lava lake, the Fire Dragon’s domain, burning fiercely. Amidst the erupting lava, the Fire Dragon lay, resembling a slumbering behemoth. Its body was immense, its scales shimmering with an orange-red light, exuding an aura of majesty and power. The erupting lava bathed the cavern in a crimson glow, sending colossal pillars of magma soaring towards the ceiling, like fiery columns connecting the depths of the earth to the cavern roof. Chen Mo and Yusheng Liuyin gazed upon this magnificent, molten landscape, completely immersed in the raw power and terrible beauty of the fire and lava. As Chen Mo and Yusheng Liuyin flew into the Fire Dragon Lair, the great Fire Dragon, situated at the center of the molten expanse, twitched an ear as if sensing their approach. It lay majestically within the lava pool, a colossal and wondrous sight, like a living volcano. Its body, tens of meters in length, was covered in solid scales, each shimmering with a fiery red light. The dragon’s muscular physique radiated power and majesty, its every breath causing the ambient flames to surge and ebb. The Fire Dragon’s head was immense, crowned with sharp horns and lined with razor-sharp teeth. Hearing the disturbance, it slowly opened its eyes. Its eyes, deep and blazing, radiated an intimidating aura of majesty and ferocity. From its maw, incandescent flames burned ceaselessly, coalescing into powerful blasts of fiery breath. The Fire Dragon’s breath was hotter than molten lava, capable of instantaneously reducing everything to ash. Upon seeing Chen Mo and Yusheng Liuyin intrude upon its forbidden demesne, the Fire Dragon abruptly unfurled its colossal wings, vast enough to eclipse the sky. The scales on its wings shimmered with an orange-red light, exuding an oppressive and seemingly insurmountable power. Each beat of its wings whipped up furious gales and searing heatwaves, churning the lava below into a roiling sea of fire. The dragon’s tail, like a colossal serpent of fire, was agile and perilous. The scales on its tail glinted with a fiery red light, and each sweep carried immense power and devastating force. With the might of its tail alone, the Fire Dragon could whip the entire lava pool into a raging vortex, causing the cavern’s temperature to spike dramatically. Every move of the Fire Dragon was filled with majesty and oppression. It was the sovereign of this cavern, regarding all other beings with contempt. It glared furiously at Chen Mo and Yusheng Liuyin and, to their astonishment, spoke in a human tongue. "Humans, this is not a place for you. You dare to anger the great Arribas! Prepare to face the destruction of the Power of Flame!"
