Chapter 276: Little Bone Dragon's Transformation

Chapter 276 The Little Bone Dragon's Metamorphosis

The flock of skeleton birds bitten by the fire dragon resembled an apple with a bite taken out of it.

A large chunk was missing.

The head of the fire dragon slowly vanished.

Those skeleton birds and human figures swallowed by the fire dragon disappeared without a trace.

They had already turned to ash within the flames.

Several items not destroyed by magic fell to the ground.

A large blue hand caught the falling items and brought them before Li Wei.

Two space rings and two magic badges.

The magic badges showed signs of melting.

Even magic badges possessing immense magical resistance sustained damage against the fire dragon spell, an assault far surpassing fourth-tier power.

"Both were fourth-tier mages, Crook, Lawson, are these their names?"

Deep blue flames burned in Li Wei's palm, completely melting the two magic badges.

Drip!

The molten metal dripped onto the ground.

Destroying the body and obliterating the traces.

Li Wei inspected the two space rings.

Spending a moment to erase the two men's spiritual imprints, Li Wei gained ownership of the space rings.

Hum!

Li Wei saw several pillars of light appear in the distance.

He walked towards the depths of the Skeleton Sea.

All the skeleton monsters made way for him.

The pillars of light meant someone had come from the Element Tower.

Li Wei planned to finish tallying the spoils before returning.

He needed to avoid the people coming from the Element Tower first.

Li Wei's figure vanished among the countless skeleton monsters covering the hills.

The mages sent from the Element Tower to support searched around but found no sign of survivors.

They discovered the meteorite crater.

"A great battle erupted here, both sides were mages."

"Why would mages fight here?"

"Internal strife, or seeking revenge, otherwise who would risk such great danger to chase enemies deep into the Skeleton Sea."

"The Element Tower recorded the deaths of two fourth-tier mages."

"No bodies were found."

"The meteorite was moved, there is a human-shaped pit beneath it, incredible, someone actually survived taking a meteorite spell head-on!"

"No survivors found, let's go back first."

"Pity, Li Wei just joined the Truth Hall's Sunflare research, and encountered this kind of thing."

"He was too impulsive, even if anxious to save someone, he shouldn't have risked his life."

"Hope he is alright."

"Let's go."

The support personnel came quickly and left quickly.

There were not many valuable clues at the scene.

Moreover, there were too many undead around, impossible to stay for too long.

Li Wei looked up, several pillars of light rose in the distant sky.

The same number of pillars as appeared before.

He knew the supporters had already returned to the Element Tower.

Li Wei opened the space ring and discovered a treasure inside.

Soul Fire Seed!

When he took out the Soul Fire Seed, the undead obeying him around all looked up, showing expressions of longing.

The Soul Fire Seed could greatly promote the evolution of undead creatures.

The most important thing for undead creatures is the soul flame.

The strength of the soul flame directly determines the strength of the undead creature.

The Soul Fire Seed is a treasure that can directly enhance the intensity of the soul flame.

Who knows where Crook got it?

Li Wei put the Soul Fire Seed away into his own space ring.

Besides the Soul Fire Seed, considerable magic materials and money were found inside the two men's space rings.

Money was secondary.

Li Wei currently had several thousand gold coins in hand, lacking nothing in funds.

Something like the Soul Fire Seed that cannot be bought even with money is the real treasure. Just right, he had already tamed the little bone dragon, he could use the Soul Fire Seed on the little bone dragon, greatly enhancing its strength.

The little bone dragon's soul flame had just been born, its strength was still weak.

With this Soul Fire Seed, the little bone dragon should soon grow to a considerable level.

After all, it is a bone dragon, even a juvenile bone dragon remains one of the stronger creatures among the undead.

Especially after awakening the extraordinary traits exclusive to the dragon race.

After tallying the spoils, Li Wei put away the two space rings.

These two space rings were much larger than the space rings Li Wei obtained early on.

Their value was considerable.

Li Wei took out the teleportation token.

He glanced at his left hand, the call from the Golden Bone Ring persisted.

Li Wei had no intention of responding to the call.

Amidst the gaze of numerous undead creatures, he vanished into the teleportation pillar of light.

Li Wei returned to the Element Tower.

The moment he touched down, someone rushed forward.

"Li Wei, it's such a relief you're unharmed!"

"Why act so impulsively? Fortunately, you are safe, otherwise I wouldn't know how to explain this to the Vice Hall Master."

Hobbs spoke with a look of tension on his face.

Li Wei was brought into the Hall of Truth by him, and recommended to the Sunflare Research Team as well.

If anything happened to Li Wei, he didn't know how to account for it to the Vice Hall Master.

The Vice Hall Master valued Li Wei highly.

Although he had never met Li Wei in person until now, he often kept him in mind.

Li Wei smiled and said, "I am fine, do not worry."

"Do not be so impulsive next time. Tell me if something arises, and I will find a way to help you resolve it."

"Even if I cannot assist you, the Hall of Truth will find a way to resolve it for you."

Li Wei nodded and said, "Thank you."

Hobbs let out a long breath, asking with curiosity, "Where did you run off to? I heard support mages went to rescue you but found no trace. I thought you were lost, I was terrified."

Li Wei gave a sheepish laugh and said, "When fleeing, panic made me choose my path blindly without checking direction. I do not even know where I ended up."

"Only after confirming no undead creatures were nearby did I use the teleportation token to return."

Li Wei glanced around and asked, "Where is Teacher Shawn?"

Hobbs said, "Shawn has been summoned for investigation by the Disciplinary Committee."

"Shortly after Shawn returned, news spread of two Fourth-Rank Mages dying. The location of death coincided exactly with where Shawn encountered danger."

"Therefore, the Disciplinary Committee wishes to see if he knows any clues."

Li Wei said, "Oh, I see."

"If there is nothing else, I shall return to rest first."

"Mm, rest well," Hobbs said.

Before departing, Hobbs offered a reminder, "You have been there too. The Disciplinary Committee may question you, so be prepared."

"No need to worry excessively. Simply speak the truth about what you encountered."

Li Wei nodded, "Mm, alright."

Returning to the manor, Li Wei felt a hint of worry.

The mages of the Disciplinary Committee would employ the mental spell known as Truth Compulsion.

It could determine whether a person was lying.

If the Disciplinary Committee mage employed Truth Compulsion upon him.

The matter of Li Wei killing Crook and Lawson might be exposed.

Although the other party struck first, if discovered by the Element Tower, punishment would still follow.

Returning to the manor, Li Wei went to the backyard and fed the Soul Spark to the little Bone Dragon.

The little Bone Dragon consumed the Soul Spark, and the soul fire within burned fiercely.

In the blink of an eye, it grew several times stronger.

The little Bone Dragon's bones became thicker and more solid.

Its hazy consciousness became complete.

The little Bone Dragon's voice rang in Li Wei's mind.

"Master."

Li Wei revealed a smile.

This meant the little Bone Dragon's strength had further improved.
