Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Soon, Long Tian and Medusa slowly entered the mine.

Torches were still burning on both sides of the mine, illuminating the inside as if it was daytime, but it was also extremely gloomy and terrifying. Even the air was filled with the choking smell of sulfur, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

Long Tian looked around, but he could not figure out where he was. The entire mine was dug into circles, and only the deepest part of it had a faint light. The rest of the place was pitch black.

“Is there some kind of mine here? I can’t tell at all.”

Long Tian was suspicious, but Medusa did not say anything. She just followed him.

The mine was a few hundred meters long, but Long Tian could feel the pungent smell of sulfur getting stronger.

Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks and squinted his eyes because he noticed something amiss.

Terrifying waves began to come from the front.

Long Tian frowned and immediately pulled Medusa aside.”Wait a moment!”

Then, he looked in the direction of the huge wave and heard the endless rumbling.

He set up the protection. Next, he put his sight towards the depths of the mine.

“The key ore is probably inside.” Long Tian said sternly. However, his tone was still calm and composed as if he was not in any kind of danger at all.

Although Long Tian appeared calm on the surface, he was actually nervous on the inside.

Because the more a place was like this, the more likely it was that there were inexplicable monsters inside it.

Long Tian and Medusa continued to move forward, but the waves in front of them became more and more violent.

Very quickly, an intense orange radiance appeared before the two of them.

It was an oval-shaped orange-red light that looked like a heart. From a distance, it seemed to be alive as it beat.

“The Heart of the Earth Vein? This thing was actually here?”

Medusa looked at the thing in front of her and couldn’t help but exclaim.

Long Tian’s eyes were burning as he stared at the object. He could feel the Fire Element in his body throbbing with excitement.

This feeling was as if he had met a close companion that he had not seen for a long time.

Long Tian’s mind jerked. He felt that if he devoured this thing, his strength would probably increase by another level.

With this thought in mind, Long Tian transformed back into his Golden Dragon form.

He opened his mouth and drool flowed out. He was about to bite the thing in front of him.

However, Long Tian suddenly felt a tremendous force about to pounce toward him from the side.

Long Tian’s expression changed drastically. He quickly dodged to the side and raised his tail at the same time.

Pa!

The tail and the palm collided, and a ball of burning spark burst out.

Long Tian groaned as he was sent flying dozens of meters away, crashing straight into the wall.

“Who’s there!”

Long Tian was extremely furious. The one who had ambushed him was a huge tiger with a yellow body. It was currently crouching near the rock wall, glaring at Long Tian.

The pair of bell-like blood-red eyes flickered with a fierce and cruel luster. It licked its sharp claws and let out a deep roar.

It was obvious that it already saw Long Tian as a meal.

Long Tian was extremely furious. How could he not understand this fellow’s intention? He was clearly trying to eat him!

However, Long Tian couldn’t care less at this moment. After all, the Heart of the Earth Vein was too rare. If he missed it today, he wouldn’t be able to find it again.

“Damned beast, get lost!”

Long Tian roared and transformed into his human form again. His speed was extremely fast, and he shot something out like an arrow leaving the bow with a strong wind.

A huge fireball was shot towards the tiger.

The tiger roared and charged forward. It waved its huge claws, bringing with it a terrifying aura and flames.

Bang!

A loud explosion was heard. Long Tian’s attack was actually blocked.

The tiger had actually taken Long Tian’s attack head-on without suffering any damage. Only a tiny bit of its fur had been burnt.

Long Tian was shocked. His attack was not weak at all. It could easily destroy a mountain. However, it could not do anything to the tiger.

“This beast …”

Long Tian’s eyes widened. He made up his mind and countless fireballs appeared from his body. He continued to attack the tiger with his Grand Fireball Technique.

Bang! Bang!

The fireballs exploded on the tiger’s body, causing a burst of flames. The tiger’s body quickly flew backward, and some wounds finally appeared on its body, but not many.

Long Tian’s heart was filled with shock. This attack of his was extremely powerful, yet it was unable to do anything to this ferocious tiger.

“What is the origin of this creature?” Long Tian was puzzled.

However, the tiger was completely enraged. It howled madly as if it wanted to tear Long Tian apart and swallow him.

However, Long Tian wondered if this fellow’s magic resistance was too strong. Hence, he tried to engage in hand-to-hand combat with it.

To Long Tian’s shock, his fist only left a white mark on the tiger’s chest. He couldn’t cause any damage to it at all. Instead, the tiger seized the opportunity to scratch him a few times.

This made Long Tian break out in cold sweat. ‘F*ck, I can’t even beat an animal with my fists?’ Didn’t that mean that he would definitely die today?

Long Tian quickly used the evaluation panel.

The data on the panel shocked him. It showed:

[Name: ???]

[Species: Earth Tiger]

[Gender: Male]

[Energy: SS]

[Physical attack: SS+]

[Material resistance: SS]

[Magic attack: S]

[Magic resistance: SS+]

[Skills: None]

“F*ck!” Long Tian cursed when he saw its attributes.

Was this thing that strong?

Long Tian felt a little bitter. He had thought that he could crush this fierce tiger with his superior martial strength. He didn’t expect that he had been overthinking.

“Master, I’ll help you!”

Medusa saw that Long Tian’s attack was not enough and immediately wanted to charge forward.

“Help what? Hurry up and leave! After we get out, tell everyone in the Naga Tribe to leave this place!” Long Tian shouted.

As soon as Long Tian finished speaking, he immediately grabbed Medusa and ran out of the mine.

However, the tiger wasn’t willing to let Long Tian go. It let out a sharp cry and immediately gave them a chase.

Long Tian sprinted forward without even looking back.

His speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, he had already reached the entrance of the mine.

“All naga! Retreat to the outside of the Tigermen Tribe area!”

Long Tian suddenly stopped and shouted.

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding naga began to move and retreat out of the mine.

Long Tian immediately turned around to buy more time for the Naga Tribe.

Very quickly, he realized that the tiger did not chase them out of the mine.
