Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet.

Chapter 266 A Secret Maneuver Leads to the Acquisition of the Dragon Blood Fruit!
Thinking this, Gu Yuan remained calm and quietly approached.

The closer one gets to the Dragon Blood Tree, the stronger and more oppressive the surrounding pressure becomes.

Gu Yuan felt a heavy weight in his heart, as if a shadow had fallen over it, and he had a strong sense of suffocation.

He scanned his surroundings but did not notice anything unusual or any living creature.

Gu Yuan paused for a moment, then transformed into a wisp of smoke and rushed straight to the Dragon Blood Fruit on the Dragon Blood Treasure Tree.

The moment Gu Yuan touched the Dragon Blood Fruit, a chilling feeling arose in his heart.

A chill ran from my head all the way down to the soles of my feet.

It seems that something terrifying is slowly awakening.

Without the slightest hesitation, Gu Yuan grabbed a dragon blood fruit in front of him, picked it off, and quickly stuffed it into his storage bag.

Then he grabbed another dragon blood fruit.

hold head high--! ! !
A powerful and domineering dragon roar came from underground, the sound containing both majesty and rage.

The sound was reduced after being blocked by a lot of earth and rocks, but Gu Yuan still felt a tightness in his chest and his hair stood on end.

But he acted as if he hadn't heard, grabbed another dragon blood fruit, stuffed it into his storage bag, and then turned and ran without hesitation.

At this moment, the fake Gu Yuan turned into a wisp of green smoke and silently disappeared into the distance.

Its speed is simply astonishing!
In just a few breaths, they had already flown more than ten miles away.

hold head high--! ! !
The dragon underground roared again, growing even angrier. Cracks appeared on the earthen ground not far away, spreading and spreading into the distance.

It seemed as if something was trying to emerge from the ground.

Streams of dark red, scorching magma gushed from these fissures, accompanied by thick, blackish-gray smoke, shooting into the sky.

Gu Yuan ignored all of that and just kept running away.

Click!Click!
As the cracks spread, more and more magma erupted from underground.

Then,

boom! ! !
A fiery red dragon crashed through the ground and sprang out from underground.

This dragon was over a hundred feet long, with a single horn on its head, four claws on its body, and its entire body covered with fiery red scales, each the size of a washbasin, gleaming with a deep, serene luster.

The scorching lava fell onto the scales like water droplets on a lotus leaf, leaving no trace.

The four dragon claws were extremely sharp, gleaming with a cold, eerie light.

After emerging from the ground, an intense, almost tangible pressure spread in all directions. Feeling the pressure coming from behind him, Gu Yuanfei flew even faster!
hold head high--! ! !
The fiery red dragon flew high into the sky and let out a thunderous roar that shook the mountains within a radius of hundreds of miles. Then, its dragon eyes, which were larger than washbasins, suddenly turned and landed on Gu Yuan's escape light in the distance.

In its perception, it was this little insect that stole its treasure!
Its eyes glowed red, and its anger almost overflowed. Then it rode the red clouds and chased after them.

The fiery red dragon was extremely fast. Gu Yuan managed to escape for dozens of miles, but it caught up with him in just a few breaths and then extended its dragon claws.

Gu Yuan's expression changed as he was enveloped in the light. His movements became slow and stiff, as if the space around him had turned into a thick and heavy swamp, making it almost impossible for him to move.

Then, a tremendous force struck, and his entire body was crushed and shattered.

First, it exploded into a sky full of blood and flesh, then the blood and flesh turned into wisps of white smoke and dissipated into nothingness.

Only the storage bag landed on the dragon's claw.

The fiery red dragon stood there dumbfounded, looking at the spot where the white smoke had dissipated, then at the storage bag in its palm. Although it had taken human form, it was quite intelligent and naturally knew what this thing was.

He probed into it with his divine sense, intending to take out the two dragon blood fruits inside.

But the next moment, the entire dragon froze.

Because there was no trace of dragon blood fruit in this storage bag, only some miscellaneous items.

"..."

Two streams of scorching smoke billowed from its nostrils, distorting the air. The fire dragon was enraged, feeling a surge of anger rising in its heart, and suddenly felt as if it had been tricked.

It opened its mouth and began to frantically spew flames in all directions.

These streams of true fire were incredibly hot and terrifying, displaying a viscous dark red color. They could burn almost anything, and were more than ten times more powerful than the true fire spewed by the previous fire serpents!

The soil and rocks melted into thick lava, and the vegetation turned to ashes.

The once relatively smooth ground became pitted and broken, with blazing flames burning everywhere.

However, the fire dragon did not notice that a silver light flashed by near the Dragon Blood Treasure Tree and then disappeared without a trace.

……

On the other side, Gu Yuan had already flown a considerable distance.

So far away that even the dragon might not be able to detect him.

Then, he paused for a moment on a protruding rock, and soon a silver light fell before his eyes.

This silver light was none other than the Silverback Centipede!
A Wu circled around Gu Yuan a few times, then opened its mouth and spat out a storage ring.

Gu Yuan raised his hand and the savings ring landed in his hand.

Inside, two large fruits covered with scale-like patterns emitted a faint red glow, and a rich fragrance permeated the air.

"Hehe... Not bad, it wasn't for nothing that I put in the effort."

Seeing this, Gu Yuan was satisfied, happy, and very comfortable.

He just used a trick of feigning one move while secretly making another.

The imposter was in the open, trying to conceal his presence as much as possible, while the real body was stationed at a distance. As for the silver-backed centipede, it was in the shadows, using its storage ring to hide the fruit.

After picking the dragon blood fruit, the imposter Gu Yuan was responsible for attracting attention, while the silver-backed centipede was responsible for secretly carrying out their plan.

Now that he had the goods, Gu Yuan was naturally overjoyed.

Gu Yuan took out a Dragon Blood Fruit, examined it for a moment, and found that the luster on its surface quickly dimmed, and the skin turned grayish, just like a stone.

To anyone else, it would just look like some kind of petrified egg, but Gu Yuan could sense that the Dragon Blood Fruit contained a vast amount of primordial energy.

This is clearly because the divine object conceals itself.

Gu Yuan originally planned to find a place to refine them, but after thinking about it, he realized he probably wouldn't have enough time, so he simply put the two Dragon Blood Treasures away and planned to do it later when he had more time.

Next, Gu Yuan, holding the Crimson Fire Pearl, began searching for traces of the Crimson Dragon Cave.

After circling the area several times, Gu Yuan looked at the gleaming Crimson Fire Pearl, then at the lava lake in front of him, and asked with a strange expression, "What's going on? Could it be that the Crimson Dragon Cave is under this lava lake?"
