“Heber, use [Demon Dragon’s Fury]!”
In the moment of desperation, Matthew revealed an anxious expression and loudly issued the order to fight.
Heber roared.
A resounding dragon roar reverberated through the void.
Two dark purple flames ignited in Heber’s eyes.
At the same time, similar flames appeared on its body.
In an instant, Heber seemed to have transformed from a demonic dragon into a fire dragon.
The terrifyingly high temperature seemed to burn the void until it distorted.
A majestic demonic power emerged from Heber’s body and flowed between its scales.
At this moment, Heber’s strength had increased significantly.
Boom!
Brilliant flames erupted from Heber’s body like a volcanic eruption.
The scorching heat incinerated everything into ashes, and even the void was trembling under the terrifying flames.
As the temperature rose rapidly, the trees within a radius of a thousand meters burst into flames.
The fierce flames instantly invaded the entire forest, like a ferocious beast covered in raging flames that wanted to devour everything.
However, not only did the Polar Hound not feel timid in the face of such a terrible fire, it advanced instead.
Its sharp claws were like the sharpest weapon in the world, separating the layers of flames.
This made Matthew worry for Heber.
He did not expect the Polar Hound to be so strong that it was not afraid of fire and could even cut through it.
However, Heber’s terrifying fire also affected him, forcing him a thousand meters away. Otherwise, he would also become a pile of ashes.
“Hu—!”
Hurricanes blew in the sky.
As the wind howled, it carried a scorching aura.
Matthew stared at the towering flames in the distance. All he could do now was pray that Heber would defeat the Polar Hound.
At the same time, he made up his mind to learn magic if he had the chance.
So he could fight alongside Heber.
At least, he would not have to watch from the sidelines and not be of any help, or become Heber’s burden.
After some time.
The raging flames finally dissipated with the retreating mana.
The flames that appeared out of thin air were all transformed from mana. When the mana receded, the flames would naturally be extinguished.
Matthew’s gaze searched for Heber anxiously.
But all he saw was the enormous body of the Polar Hound, reduced to ashes that scattered with a breeze.
This relieved Matthew.
Since the Polar Hound had died, Heber was most likely fine.
At the same time, he was sighing at the power of the Dark Demon Dragon in his mind.
The combat power of the Polar Hound was infinitely close to C-rank, but Heber could still defeat it despite the lack of stamina. This showed how powerful the demonic beasts and divine dragon bloodlines were.
If it were an exhausted ordinary mutated beast, it might not even be able to withstand a single blow from the Polar Hound.
While Matthew was lost in his thoughts, he immediately arrived at the place where the mutated beasts had battled, and his eyes kept darting around as he searched for Heber.
Heber’s stamina was insufficient to begin with. After such a bitter battle, even if it defeated the Polar Hound, he was afraid that it had also suffered a serious injury.
When Matthew arrived at the battlefield, he continuously called out Heber’s name.
However, there was no reply. This made him very worried.
Finally, Matthew saw a flash of light among a pile of ashes.
“Heber!”
Matthew rushed toward it, delighted.
What greeted his eyes was the stalk of Crimson Dragon Divine Grass.
Not only did it not die in the sea of flames, but its appearance had also changed.
In addition to the crimson glow, it grew from three meters to five meters.
Furthermore, Matthew could sense that the energy contained within this stalk of Crimson Dragon Divine Grass had increased significantly.
[Ding! Detected a Tier 4 Crimson Dragon Divine Grass 50 meters ahead of the host!]
At this moment, the system notification sounded.
Matthew froze for a moment.
That was a Tier 4 Crimson Dragon Divine Grass?
A matured Crimson Dragon Divine Grass was at Tier 3.
Without external help, it would take at least ten thousand years for the Crimson Dragon Divine Grass to advance to Tier 4.
Matthew could confirm that this stalk of Crimson Dragon Divine Grass was the one he had just seen.
In the blink of an eye, the Crimson Dragon Divine Grass went from Tier 3 to Tier 4.
What did it experience!?
Could it be that it had absorbed the mana from the aftermath of the battle between Heber and the Polar Hound and thus obtained sublimation?
“We’ve made a huge profit!”
Matthew exclaimed in surprise.
Heber needed a matured Crimson Dragon Divine Grass, a thousand-year-old Dark Dragon Stone, and a thousand-year-old Blood Dragon Demon Crystal to advance to C-rank.
However, if it had a Tier 4 10,000-year Crimson Dragon Divine Grass, coupled with a bit of Dark Dragon Stone and Blood Dragon Demon Crystal powder, Heber would still be able to advance to C-rank.
The 10,000-years Crimson Dragon Divine Grass could make up for the missing Dark Dragon Stone and Blood Dragon Demon Crystal.
After all, it was a Tier 4 divine grass. It was more than ten times better than a Tier 3 divine grass!
“Aawoo…”
At that moment, Heber’s haggard voice sounded from nearby.
Matthew immediately looked for it.
“Heber, look.”
With the palm-sized Heber in his right hand, he returned to the side of the Tier 4 Crimson Dragon Divine Grass.
Heber looked at the Tier 4 Crimson Dragon Divine Grass with greed in its eyes, as if it was extremely tempting.
It wanted to break free from Matthew’s embrace and directly pounce on the Tier 4 Crimson Dragon Divine Grass.
However, because it had gone past its limits, a slight movement of its muscles would cause intense pain.
“Don’t move. You’re seriously injured now.”
Matthew supported Heber, who had almost fallen, with a finger.
It seemed like Heber also knew how beneficial Tier 4 Crimson Dragon Divine Grass was to it.
However, he could not feed Heber directly now.
Otherwise, not only would it not be able to help it advance to C-rank, it might even waste a Tier 4 divine grass.
Tier 4 Crimson Dragon Divine Grass was very expensive on the market. Its price was so high that it was immeasurable. It could even buy a city!
Matthew couldn’t bear to waste it.
He carefully dug out the Tier 4 Crimson Dragon Divine Grass and wrapped it with a piece of clothing to prevent others from having thoughts of snatching it after seeing it.
Although the Tier 4 Crimson Dragon Divine Grass had stronger medicinal effects than the just matured Tier 3 divine grass, it was not so easily withered.
After the Tier 4 Crimson Dragon Divine Grass left the soil, it could maintain its medicinal effect for a month without dissipating.
If it was not consumed within the next three months, the medicinal effect would slowly fade until it completely dissipated.
Matthew needed to find the powder of the Dark Dragon Stone and Blood Dragon Demon Crystal within a month.
Otherwise, he would have to find a complete Dark Dragon Stone and Blood Dragon Demon Crystal to help Heber advance to C-rank if Crimson Dragon Divine Grass’s medicinal effect began to dissipate.
“There should be a lot of powder of Dark Dragon Stone and Blood Dragon Demon Crystal in human cities.”
Matthew locked onto a direction and prepared to search for a human city.
He had a month of time in his plan.
But during this period of time, it was hard to guarantee that the youth would not find him again.
Thus, he needed to gather these materials as soon as possible in order not to be afraid of that youth.
