Lu Mingfei, become the King of Elden!

Chapter 290 King of Elden

Upon entering the cave, a completely different atmosphere from the outside world greets you.

Unlike other caves he had visited before, this one was damp, slightly cool, and even somewhat refreshing, with a less strong smell of decay in the air.

Lu Mingfei was somewhat surprised.

It seems there's a hidden world inside.

The first thing that catches the eye is a blessing point that radiates a familiar and warm light.

He gently placed his hand on it, and the meaning of bestowing blessings became clear.

【Dragon Tomb Cave】.

After lighting the blessing and taking a short rest, Lu Mingfei rallied his spirits and continued exploring deeper into the cave.

The further he went, the greater his surprise became.

Unlike the desolate and dilapidated landscape of Galid outside, the depths of this cave present a scene that is almost like a "Shangri-La".

The rock face was covered with a thick layer of moss that emitted a soft glow, and unknown ferns stretched out their branches and leaves with great vitality.

Even more astonishingly, a few rays of sunlight stubbornly pierced through the natural cracks in the rock above, casting hazy beams of light into this underground world, dispelling some of the darkness and making the entire environment unexpectedly serene and full of life.

Just then, heavy footsteps echoed from deep within the cave.

Boom...boom...boom...

The sound was neither fast nor slow, but its weight was absolutely immense, causing the ground beneath one's feet to tremble slightly, almost as if one were stepping on a person's eardrum.

Almost simultaneously, the Dragon Feast Power within Lu Mingfei's body began to surge violently, issuing frantic warnings, even more so than when he encountered the flying dragon.

A chill ran down his spine and up to his head, making the hairs on his body stand on end.

Without hesitation, he sidestepped and silently disappeared behind a thicket of bushes.

Lu Mingfei held his breath, suppressing his aura to the lowest possible level.

The footsteps are getting closer.

Through the gaps in the bushes, he saw a huge figure slowly emerge from the shadows deep within the cave.

It was a "giant bear" of far greater size than any other, even two or three times larger than the bears in the misty forest.

Before Him, the two bears at the cave entrance could be considered minors.

Its fur is a rare light brown, even leaning towards golden yellow.

The naturally formed markings on the giant bear's chest are astonishing; the white stripes vaguely outline a pattern resembling runes.

But what made Lu Mingfei's heart tighten was its eyes.

A cold, golden light flowed through those pupils.

It's not just the blessing of the golden tree.

Lu Mingfei did not deny that the bear's body contained powerful runic energy, which could indeed make its eyes appear as a blessed gold.

But he could never mistake the distinctive features of those eyes.

Those golden eyes, with their subtle vertical pupils, are a unique mark of the Dragon Eater.

This giant bear once devoured a flying dragon!

It walked slowly through the cave, its posture relaxed, as if it were surveying its own territory.

The huge bear paw landed on the ground with a steady thud.

It occasionally paused, lowered its head to sniff the air, and its golden pupils appeared particularly intimidating in the dim light.

Lu Mingfei held his breath, as if even his heartbeat had slowed down.

He could feel the oppressive aura emanating from the giant bear.

The giant bear slowly came to a stop, its golden vertical pupils beginning to turn towards the surrounding bushes.

A dangerous atmosphere filled the air. Lu Mingfei felt a chill run down his spine.

This guy spotted him.

No, it hasn't detected it yet; it has only detected some changes in smell.

"The wild animals in your border area are absolutely outrageous."

Lu Mingfei cursed inwardly while his brain began to work at high speed.

This can't go on. The giant bear will find him sooner or later, and by then, he will have completely lost the initiative to attack.

He took a deep breath, and the Dragon's Blessing power within him was instantly activated.

The next moment, a scorching power burst forth from the depths of his bone marrow, surging and boiling along his blood vessels.

On the surface of the skin, fine black scales floated like a tide on every inch of exposed skin, shimmering with a metallic sheen as they moved slightly with each breath.

Blood vessels bulged beneath the skin, the blood flowing within seemingly ignited, radiating a scalding heat and emitting a faint, dragon-like roar. The bones throughout the body crackled and popped, undergoing some profound adjustment and strengthening, their structure becoming denser, capable of bearing even more ferocious power.

An ancient aura emanated from him, and the golden light in his eyes shone brightly.

Dragon Bone Mode, fully activated!

At the same time, he held his greatsword horizontally in front of his chest, instantly activating the combat technique "Resolve." A concentrated battle intent enveloped his entire body, and the following attack was bound to be earth-shattering.

The air around him instantly became turbulent.

Visible grayish-white air currents were drawn in from all directions of the cave, converging wildly and emitting a whooshing sound.

The air currents swirled rapidly, instantly forming a small wind domain around his body.

The gale whipped up pebbles and moss fragments from the ground, enveloping his silver figure, his armor emitting a faint, sharp hum as it rubbed against the high-speed airflow.

In the heart of this raging storm, Lu Mingfei's sharp eyes were fixed on his target, his entire aura blending seamlessly with the storm, as if he had transformed into a legendary war eagle that rides the storm.

"boom!"

A shockwave erupted from the ground beneath his feet, and his figure, propelled by the wind, surged forward, like a swift silver storm.

The twin swords were like the sharpest wings in the storm, their blades imbued with the power of the storm, emitting a piercing shriek as they slashed fiercely across the bear's broad, rock-like back!
puff.

There was a muffled sound.

The anticipated scene of carnage and bloodshed did not materialize.

Lu Mingfei's all-out attack only cut through part of its fur, without even damaging the underlying tissue.

The sensation from the blade sent chills down Lu Mingfei's spine, and his heart pounded wildly in his chest.

This toughness, this hardness, it's like chopping down that legendary ancient dragon, Gui'er!

But this guy doesn't have the fine, keratinized scales of a dragon; he's just a bear!
The giant bear slowly turned around.

Its golden vertical pupils calmly gazed at the ant that dared to offend it.

Then, it stood up upright.

A massive shadow instantly enveloped Lu Mingfei, completely blocking out the light from the cave ceiling.

The giant bear opened its blood-red maw, and a deafening roar erupted!

"roar--!!!"

The sound waves exploded outwards like a huge shockwave, resounding throughout the entire cave, causing Lu Mingfei's eardrums to ache terribly, and even the ground beneath his feet trembled slightly.

The moss on the cave walls rustled down, and the entire cave trembled at the roar.

Lu Mingfei gripped his twin swords tightly, his muscles taut beneath the dragon scales, and his golden eyes seemed to flow with molten lava. There was no fear in them, only fighting spirit.

It seems this is going to be a tough battle.
