Volume Dragon: Start by obtaining the Infinity Gems

Chapter 178 The Monster Beneath the Mountain of Corpses
"That's right, call the police." Sefar was shocked and immediately ordered Dironao to land.

The three began to search in the forest. The mad animals kept interrupting the search process, making the impatient Dironao burn the nearby forest into charcoal with a breath of dragon fire.

"Found it!" Sefar searched all the way with the detector, and finally when he passed an underground cave, the detector in his hand emitted the most dazzling red light in history.

Sefar looked at the narrow cave entrance and said helplessly, "Dironao, do you want to go in with us? You probably won't fit in with your body size."

The red dragon was also in a dilemma, so he had to change his body shape into a half-dragon who was over three meters tall and full of muscles.

Although the physical quality of this form has declined significantly, it is still much stronger than the human form. Dilonao, who is used to relying on dragon breath and flesh, cannot accept entering an unknown place relying only on weak magic.

"That's all, let's go." Dironao said with satisfaction.

The three of them walked into the dark cave, and Shana felt a damp and cold air rushing towards her. The water drops dripping from the cave wall were crystal clear, but with a hint of ominousness.

The air in the cave seemed to have solidified, filled with the smell of corruption and death.

"It's the smell of a rotting corpse." Shana whispered, with vigilance and a hint of fear in her eyes.

As an academic wizard who had been studying spells in the laboratory, Shana had hardly ever experienced any adventures, so this dark and eerie scene was a little scary for her.

Soon, as they walked inside, corpses appeared before their eyes.

The corpses were placed haphazardly in the corridors of the cave. Their eyes wandered among the corpses. Each one looked twisted and painful. Their skulls were missing, and the brains inside them were also gone.

It is obvious that these creatures did not die of natural causes. They were captured here by some kind of monster, which feasted on their brains and then threw their bodies aside.

The three continued to walk inside, but Sefar and Shana had already vigilantly cast various protective spells on their bodies. Sefar summoned a little devil and ordered it to scout the way ahead of the three to prevent sneak attacks that might appear at any time.

Among the three, only Dironao still looked nonchalant. After all, the red dragon itself was a brutal monster that liked to eat intelligent creatures. To him, this little scene was nothing. In his known career, those monster followers had done even bloodier things.

As they went deeper into the cave, the density of corpses began to increase. After walking for nearly half an hour, a huge underground cave suddenly appeared before their eyes.

"Oh my God." Shana screamed.

They finally reached the end of the cave, but the sight before them almost suffocated them—piles of dead creatures piled up like mountains, forming strange corpse mounds, silently telling of the disaster that had occurred here. The faces of each corpse seemed to have been drained of their souls, leaving only an empty shell of flesh.

And without exception, they all have one thing in common - their brains are missing.

"Shut up!" Sefar shouted in a low voice. Shana quickly shut her mouth, but it was too late.

The creature hiding in the cave has been awakened.

Suddenly, the ground began to shake, as if something was about to break out of the ground.

With a sharp tearing sound, the soil flew, and a group of terrifying monsters with bulbous bodies emerged from under the mountain of corpses like a tide. They had fangs, green light flashing in their eyes, thick and hard shells covering their skin, and countless creepy arthropod legs.

"Neh-thalggu! Na-thalggu!"

Their cries were deafening, and the sound echoed in the night sky, full of threat and terror.

They roared wantonly, waving their claws and flapping their wings, regarding the three people in front of them as prey, looking at them greedily. "Na~~~Sagu!!!"

A huge howl was heard, and a huge bulbous monster, much larger than the other monsters and about seven or eight meters tall, crawled out from the ground.

When Sefar saw the other party appear, he looked alert and his heart sank.

He felt an extremely huge spiritual energy fluctuation, and this monster was probably of a high professional level.

Sefar looked at the leader of the bulbous monsters, and their eyes met. In an instant, an extremely powerful mental force broke into his mind, trying to seize control of his brain.

A diamond-shaped energy shield suddenly appeared in front of Sefar, emitting an emerald glow and cutting off the mental power that broke into his brain.

"Damn it, luckily I prepared the [Emerald Protection Barrier] in advance."

Sefar felt a wave of fear in his heart. If he had not prepared this fifth-ring protective spell in advance to prevent the spell of control, he would have been controlled by the opponent in an instant.

"Don't look into their eyes, they have very powerful psychic powers!" Sefar warned loudly, then waved the staff in his hand and began to prepare to cast a spell.

Shana followed Sefar's advice, lowered her head quickly, and triggered the magic ring with [Advanced Invisibility] in her hand, completely hiding herself.

Only the Red Dragon remained carefree and indifferent. He didn't think that any monster could control his mind.

He clenched his fists, looked at the monsters excitedly and said, "It's been a long time since I fought in the form of a half-dragon. I hope you are strong enough to withstand a beating."

But the next moment, his eyes met the bulbous monster leader, and terrifying psychic energy poured out. The red dragon put down his hands, his eyes were dull, and he crashed.

"Damn it, stupid dragon!" Sefar cursed inwardly as he watched the stupid red dragon die. He quickly cast the [Advanced Mirror Image Technique] and transformed himself into more than a dozen phantoms.

Sure enough, this move stunned the bulbous monsters. They screamed in anger, and huge mental waves surged in the cave, trying to find the hiding prey.

"Speedy Fastay"

Syfar chanted in a low voice, and an inconspicuous green light flashed on his body.

Eighth-ring transformation spell——[Advanced Swiftness Burst]!
The strange magical power immediately penetrated into Sefar's nerves. The time around him began to slow down, and Sefar's thinking and movements became extremely fast!
Under such circumstances, Sefar raced against time and began to recite the next spell quickly. Within just two seconds, the spell was completed.

Sixth-ring transmutation spell——[Wandering Flame]!
"boom!"

A large flame shot out from Sefar's staff like a wave. The five-meter-wide wave covered a dozen bulbous monsters and ignited them instantly. These monsters seemed to be very afraid of fire damage. The ignited monsters turned into ashes with screams in just a dozen seconds.

But this is not the end. After flying a hundred meters, the flame returned to the staff like a young swallow returning to its nest. It went back and forth eight times and killed hundreds of monsters.

However, Sefar's spell also allowed the leader to locate him.

Soon, a huge amount of psychic energy began to distort reality.
