According to Quan Yi's senses, he had reached the middle of the cave.
The light from the cave entrance was already faint here.
However, even without the sun's light, the interior space wasn't visually dim.
The reason for this was the Scarlet Scaled Evil Dragon before him.
The Scarlet Scaled Evil Dragon before him had two horns on its head and four claws on its belly. It was a red dragon with a body reaching over a hundred meters tall, its body covered with thick scales that shimmered with a faint firelight.
Unlike the Dragon Flame Beast, a pseudo-dragon that Quan Yi had hunted before, the Scarlet Scaled Evil Dragon was a true dragon with pure blood.
Borrowing the firelight emitted by the scales, Quan Yi discovered that the Scarlet Scaled Evil Dragon was currently lying prone on the ground, sound asleep with its eyes closed.
Steady, rhythmic snores vibrated the air inside the cave.
Quan Yi was extremely excited, but he still calmly investigated the Scarlet Scaled Evil Dragon's condition.
According to Quan Yi's estimation, each of the Scarlet Scaled Evil Dragon's horns was over nine meters long.
Seeing this, Quan Yi was secretly shocked and said, "Based on the length, this Scarlet Scaled Evil Dragon is probably around 90,000 to 95,000 years old."
The length of the Scarlet Scaled Evil Dragon's sharp dragon horns was the best way to determine its age.
Not only that, but the sharp dragon horns, like spears, were constantly absorbing fire element energy from the surroundings.
As a being transformed into fire element particles, Quan Yi could clearly sense the fire elements around him flying towards those dragon horns.
Even he himself could vaguely feel that pulling force, tugging at him, but this force was unable to shake him.
And those dragon horns, condensed with a massive amount of fire element, were the root cause that attracted Quan Yi to this place.
Seeing this, Quan Yi already had a certain understanding of the Scarlet Scaled Evil Dragon's situation.
He didn't stay any longer, but quietly retreated and flew back in the direction of Quan Li as quickly as possible.
Appearing again, Quan Yi hurriedly said, "Grandpa, I've found it."
A look of joy flashed in Quan Li's eyes, and he quickly asked, "What kind of soul beast is it?"
Quan Yi replied, "It's a Scarlet Scaled Evil Dragon of about 90,000 to 95,000 years. It's a true dragon with extremely strong fire attribute talent. As a soul ring, there's no more suitable choice than this."
Upon hearing this, Quan Li was first filled with joy, but soon he was overcome with worry.
90,000 years, many Titled Douluo's ninth soul ring is about this level.
Moreover, the opponent was a powerful true dragon. Quan Yue was worried that with his strength, he wouldn't be able to quickly kill the Scarlet Scaled Evil Dragon.
At this time, Quan Yi's words shocked Quan Li even more.
"Grandpa, this time, I want to try fighting the Scarlet Scaled Evil Dragon alone. Grandpa only needs to stand guard at the cave entrance to prevent external enemies from entering."
Quan Li hurriedly asked, "Are you sure? This is a dragon-type soul beast approaching 100,000 years. In terms of strength, even a 100,000-year soul beast may not be its opponent.
Although you are invincible against fire attribute soul beasts, if I remember correctly, doesn't this Scarlet Scaled Evil Dragon's dragon horns have the ability to absorb fire attribute energy?
Can your attack quickly solve the Scarlet Scaled Evil Dragon without attracting other soul beasts?"
Quan Yi replied, "According to my observation, this Scarlet Scaled Evil Dragon is at a critical point in its cultivation. Judging from the fact that it's cooped up in the cave during the day, it's currently in seclusion.
It might not even be able to detect my aura when it's awake, and it's even less likely to discover my existence in a cultivation state.
If Grandpa gets close to it, it will inevitably startle it."
The Scarlet Scaled Evil Dragon was a diurnal soul beast, and it was not in line with its habits to sleep in its lair during the day.
Based on the judgment of its age, Quan Yi guessed that this Scarlet Scaled Evil Dragon was sprinting towards the 100,000-year level.
For this reason, it must reduce the body's consumption through sleep, and accumulate the energy for breakthrough through its pair of powerful dragon horns.
A look of arrogance and disdain flashed in Quan Yi's eyes.
As the owner of the Ultimate Fire, Quan Yi's flame has an absolute suppression effect on ordinary fire attribute soul masters or soul beasts.
Especially in the near state, after personally experiencing the fire attribute energy of the Scarlet Scaled Evil Dragon, Quan Yi has a clearer understanding of his own flame.
Quan Li saw the look in Quan Yi's eyes and saw a domineering aura of self-importance.
Three years ago, Quan Yi, as a soul master, was still slightly immature, but now, three years later, he only felt pure power from Quan Yi.
He smiled with relief and said, "Okay, since you are confident, then I won't say more. Rest for a while, and we'll set off."
Quan Li chose to believe Quan Yi.
Quan Yi began to sit cross-legged to recover his soul power.
If someone could see through Quan Yi's body, he would definitely be able to see two vermilion round beads condensed in Quan Yi's dantian.
These two round beads are the soul power crystals maintained by Quan Yi.
With the improvement of mental power, the soul power that Quan Yi can compress has become more, and without affecting the body's soul power operation, each of these two soul power crystals contains 100% soul power.
As for why there are only two, it's because when Quan Yi tries to condense another high-concentration soul power crystal, the other two crystals will show signs of being out of control.
For stability and safety, Quan Yi did not conduct further tests,
Although it was a pity, Quan Yi still had three times the soul power reserve.
For a long time, Quan Yi had not encountered an opponent who could force him to use the soul power crystal.
However, now facing the 90,000-year-level Scarlet Scaled Evil Dragon, he finally had the opportunity to use it.
At noon, Quan Yi and Quan Li, who had recovered their state, rushed to the entrance of the Scarlet Scaled Evil Dragon's lair.
The dark cave entrance was like a giant abyss, and the terrifying aura emanating from the inside stimulated all of Quan Li's nerves.
From the large and deep cave entrance, it could be seen the size and strength of the excavator.
Quan Li looked at Quan Yi, who was gleaming with excitement and eager to try, and said solemnly, "Go, I'll leave the cave entrance to me."
Quan Li's existence can not only prevent external enemies from entering, but also prevent the Scarlet Scaled Evil Dragon inside from escaping.
With Quan Li in charge, Quan Yi had no worries at all.
After exchanging glances with Quan Li, his body turned into a ball of flame and floated towards the inside of the cave.
However, this time, Quan Yi only felt his soul vibrate and excited. It had been a long time since he had felt such an exciting moment.
He had long yearned for a hearty battle.
The floating flame seemed to be responding to Quan Yi's spirit, becoming unusually active.
This time, Quan Yi did not deliberately hide his aura, and the powerful aura was fully emitted.
The Scarlet Scaled Evil Dragon, far in the depths of the cave, keenly sensed this aura and opened its huge dragon eyes.
"Roar!"
The Scarlet Scaled Evil Dragon opened its giant mouth, and a strong firelight brewed in its throat. The next moment, along with the huge dragon roar, it sprayed towards the cave entrance.
