My Cultivation System Chapter 212
Advertisement
Outside the treasure land,
A few hours back,
'What happened to them?'
'Why did their life-talismans lose the glow?'
Both Aedan and Mirah's faces turned ugly with a gap of a couple of hours between Adean and Mirah.
Life-talismans are the talismans indicating the life of a particular cultivator. From the moment a cultivator drops a blood drop on it, it will continue to glow until the death of that cultivator.
So, when the life talismans of their personal disciples lost the light, they could guess what must have happened and they looked at the sect leader Gamos with hateful eyes.
'What happened to them?'
As for the sect leader Gamos, he felt something was wrong with the other two sect leaders; however, he didn't bother to ask because, from their expressions, he could guess something was not going according to their plan.
So, of course, the sect leader Gamoso was happy.
'Just you wait until our sect leaders come here. We will see how you will have that smile on your face,'
Aedan and Mirah both had the same thought in their head.
....
Inside the small cave,
'Everyone, be careful,'
After entering the sealed entrance in the cave, Henrick wanted others.
Even though the immortal cultivator asked Henrick not to enter the sealed entrance, he was not the same level 1 energy condensation realm cultivator.
Inside the same cave, there was a lava pool and at the center of that lava pool, there was a bright red-coloured crystal hovering in the mid-air.
'Energy crystal'
Looking at that crystal, everyone's expressions became excited; however, they didn't rush to pick the energy crystal.
It was common knowledge that almost all the naturally formed cultivation resources will have a guardian beast.
'Roar'
Just as they were carefully observing the small cave, a blackish-red coloured dragon head came out of the lava pool and eyed the three disciples.

"Underworld fire world."
Henrick not only knows the language of 10000 beasts but he also knows about each and every single beast in it.
Among those 10000 beasts, this underground fire dragon will be in the top 100 in terms of power.
"Swoosh"
'Dodge'
Just as he muttered the dragon's name, it released black coloured flames at them.
However, Henrick and others were able to escape without any difficulty because they were already ready to dodge.
"You humans dare to covet my energy crystal? Die,"
'Rumble'
All of a sudden, the underworld fire dragon came out of the lava as it spoke in a fluent human tongue making Henrick and others anxious.
The dragon was around 10 meters in height and filled the small cave by 50 percent.
"Everyone, it's only a peak rank 3 beast. As long as we work together, we can kill it without any difficulty,"
Henrick took out his burning spear and motivated others.
'Right'
Nick and Lina both nodded their heads as they summoned a rank 3 sword and a rank 3 dagger respectively.
'Woo'
As for the little wolf and little fox, they have entered low-stage rank 3 and mid-stage rank 3. So, they were also excited to fight the underworld fire dragon.
'Dragon claw'
The dragon swiped its sharp claws at the two little beasts; however, their sizes were too small, they were easily able to dodge the attacks.
At the same time, its tail slammed at the three humans and that attack was also dodged by the humans.
"Are you really an underworld fire dragon? You are as weak as fire-lizard,"
Henrick was disappointed at the attacks of the fire dragon's attacks as he mocked it.
"Damn you human...if not for that immortal cultivator using some mysterious technique to seal my real strength, then I would have long killed the entire human race from this world,"

Soon, the aura emitted by the underworld dragon increased as it broke through and reached rank 4.
"Nick, be careful. It entered rank 4,"
Nick was very close to the fire dragon. So, Henrick warned him to be careful.
Even though its cultivation had reached rank 4, Henrick still had the confidence in killing the underworld fire dragon.
"Henrick, let's attack from different directions,"
Lina suggested it and without waiting for Henrick's reply, she stationed herself to the left of the dragon.
Nodding his head, Henrick ordered his two little beasts to take care of the backside of the dragon whereas Nick went to the right side of the dragon.
As for Henrick, he attacked the dragon from the front.
'Demon stare'
He started with his fire demon stare; however, there was no reaction from the dragon and it released black coloured flames from its mouth.
'Attack it now,'
After fighting for something, Henrick and others found out the weakness of the fire dragon.
Whenever it released the black flames from its mouth, it would close its eyes for a few seconds.
As for the weak spot of the underworld fire dragon was on its neck.
It was not a standard weakness for all the underworld fire dragons; instead, at the center of its neck, there was no scale at one place and they chose to attack there.
'Puchi'
A rank 3 sword and a rank 3 dagger pierced through that scale-less spot and black blood started pumping out the hole.
"Curse you, humans,"
The fire dragon cursed them as loudly as possible and the four-armed stone monkey and the twin tail fire cat were scared by the loud painful roars of the underworld fire dragon.
'Splash'
The more it shouted, the more black blood pumped out of its throat.
'Thud'
Finally, after a few minutes of painful roars, the fire dragon fell to the ground.
"Phew...finally killed the dragon."
Henrick and others heaved a sigh of relief as he collapsed to the ground along with the fire dragon and soon, they started laughing with faces full of smiles.
'Haha….Haha'
'We killed dragon...a real dragon,'
'It's not a normal dragon, an underworld fire dragon,'
'As long as we take its head back to the sect, we will get a large amount of the contribution points,'
They excitedly said many things while looking at the huge underworld fire dragon in front of them.
'Huh?'
While they were taking a small rest to recover, Henrick felt something was wrong with the small cave they were currently sitting in.
'Where is the system notification for the mission accomplishment?'
Since they have already killed the guardian in the small cave, he should have got a mission accomplishment notification; however, there was no notification making him a little suspicious and keenly looked at the dragon.
"Nick, the fire dragon is not dead yet...it is recovering and at the same time increasing its strength,"
All of a sudden, Henrick stood up with his rank 3 spear in his hand.
'What?'
Both Lina and Nick looked at the underworld fire dragon's body which was not moving and surprised.
"Let's hurry up. You two go and pick the energy crystal from that place,"
Without waiting for their reply, Henrick jumped onto the dragon and waited for his friends to remove the energy crystal.
'Puchi'
As soon as they removed the energy crystal from the center of the lava pool, Henrick pierced through the weak spot of the underworld fire dragon.
