While the crocodiles were cheering, many of the dragonflies from the Flame Butterfly Clan also flew into the sky. Everyone's attention was attracted by the crystal well.
The lava in the crystal well suddenly surged. This surge wasn't simple, and even the entire cave was shaking. Those who didn't know would think that this was a sign of a landslide.
The liquid was like a magma eruption, constantly spewing out seven-colored flames. Not long after, the crystal well was like a pot of boiling water, violently erupting into a curtain of flames. This kind of majestic eruption was extremely shocking, because the temperature was one hundred thousand degrees. Even if one stayed in the cave, it would be of great help to the cultivation of thermodynamic ability users.
With a boom, a stream of flames shot into the sky, scattering a few particularly dazzling objects.
The dragonflies from the Flame Butterfly Clan were quick to react. They flew up like fighter jets and grabbed the objects in their arms. Then, they spun a few times in the air, using a variety of difficult moves to avoid the stream of flames before quickly returning to the small hill.
Ding Meng could see very clearly that those shiny objects were bright red Eternal Flame Crystals. The energy fluctuations were very strong, and they weren't inferior to ordinary Silver Core Stones. Moreover, two of the dragonflies caught Eternal Flame Crystals that were red and yellow. Judging from the colors, they were definitely high-grade goods.
Was this the so-called crystal tide?
Ding Meng secretly pondered. These Eternal Flame Crystals weren't that easy to obtain. The risk factor was too high. Only the Flame Butterfly Clan's dragonflies could catch them in an instant with their advantage of flying. If they were careless and were hit by the lava, they would probably die.
Next, the crystal tide would erupt once every minute. The group of dragonflies flew back and forth in the sky. After a few rounds, the Flame Butterfly Clan actually managed to capture a lot of Eternal Flame Crystals. They even found two red, orange, and yellow Eternal Flame Crystals, which were caught by a female dragonfly. Looking at the size of the dragonfly, she should be quite young.
However, at this time, a group of crocodiles on the ground walked up with bad intentions. The leader was a large crocodile covered in black armor. He was probably the leader of this group. The leader arrogantly walked forward and stretched out a thick claw. "Hand it over!"
The group of dragonflies immediately retreated. Everyone's eyes turned dark blue. Clearly, they were very afraid of this leader.
"Take what?" An old dragonfly plucked up the courage to ask.
The leader sneered, "Don't think I didn't see it. You can take the other crystals, but you must leave the two tri-colored crystals for me."
"Why?" The old dragonfly was a little angry.
The leader said proudly, "Just based on this!"
At the same time, his body swayed, and a scream came from the crowd. When they turned their heads, they saw that the little dragonfly had fallen to the ground. Her front claws were broken, and she kept flapping her wings on the ground. She seemed to be in great pain.
As for the two Eternal Flame Crystals in his hand, they were now in the leader's hand. The leader fiddled with them without turning his head. "Humph, I was already giving the Flame Butterfly Clan some face by not killing all of you previously. Don't f * cking look for trouble."
"Little Cai, Little Cai!" The members of the Flame Butterfly Clan cried out in alarm as they rushed toward the little dragonfly.
Flame Tribe members were formed from heat energy. Thus, when the little dragonfly's front claws were broken, they could see that it wasn't blood that flowed out of the wounds. Instead, it was light green flames. In fact, it was the same as human blood. As the blood flowed out, its life force would gradually decrease.
Little Rascal couldn't bear it. After all, this little dragonfly was still a larva. "Ding Meng, you can help her."
Ding Meng was stunned. "How can I help?"
"You can help!"
Xiao Ai said decisively, "You're also a thermodynamic origin ability user, so the energy flowing in your body is quite pure. Also, don't forget that when you were at the Xing Hong Group, the inverse source crystal that you smelted has the healing effect of green life force. You only need to use your telekinesis to reconnect her broken limbs and inject some of your own energy into them."
"Is that so? Then I'll give it a try!"
Although Ding Meng had never been a merciful person, the Flame Butterfly Clan had allowed him to come down. It wasn't good for him to just stand by and watch. Thus, it wasn't a problem for him to lend a hand.
Ding Meng stretched out his left hand and twisted his fingers into a claw. He released a wave of telekinesis from a distance and gently reconnected the two broken limbs to the little dragonfly's front claws. Finally, he shook his fingers, and five rainbow-colored droplets of energy the size of water droplets appeared at the wounds.
A miracle soon appeared. The little dragonfly's wounds were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. This time, everyone was both surprised and delighted. They all turned to look at Ding Meng in disbelief.
However, the old dragonfly had a good eye. It immediately realized that this was most likely an expert that Lord Kouqi had called over to help.
"Human friend, thank you. Thank you so much for healing Little Cai." The old dragonfly took the initiative to fly to Ding Meng's side.
Ding Meng waved his hand. "Is this how you were injured by the Flame Dragon Clan?"
The old dragonfly's eyes began to change color again. They became extremely red. It was obvious that it was very angry, but its tone was very helpless. "The Flame Butterfly Clan on this level relies on catching Eternal Flame Crystals for a living. After we get the crystals, we sell them to the lords in the lower levels in exchange for energy and a place to live. However, the Flame Dragon Clan is despicable. They don't know how to fly at all. After we get the crystals, they come up and threaten us.
We've already lost a lot of people … "Ding Meng nodded." I understand. They are robbing us. "
The old dragonfly flapped its wings. "This is the border area. Lord Kouqi can't control this place, so …"
Ding Meng completely understood. The caretaker was only in charge of the entrance area. This place was beyond the scope of her authority.
"By the way, what's your name?" Ding Meng could tell that this dragonfly was the leader of the Flame Butterfly Clan.
The old dragonfly said, "Friend, you are a human. You can call me Fraulein in your language."
Ding Meng was a little speechless. This strange name was strange enough. However, he was too lazy to explain. "How about this? If I help you get the crystals back, can you give me some?"
Fraulein was a little dumbfounded. You, a human, dare to ask the Flame Dragon Clan for crystals? Are you crazy?
Seeing that she was a little dazed, Ding Meng was a little impatient. His time was very precious. "Can you do it or not?
If you can't, I will rob you! "
"You …" Fraulein was completely stunned. She was shocked by Ding Meng's tone.
The leader of the Flame Dragon Clan didn't leave. He also looked at Ding Meng and sneered. "Ignorant and weak human. Do you think you are strong just because you can come down here?
How are you going to get the crystals from me?
Kneel down and kowtow to me?
Then I'm sorry. I'm in a bad mood today. I won't give it to you. I … "
"Are you done?" Ding Meng slowly walked forward.
Seeing that he really had the guts to come forward, the leader was a little impressed. "Haha, you are from the God War Starfield?"
Ding Meng didn't waste time. He copied the leader and opened his right hand. "Give it to me!"
The group of crocodiles burst into laughter.
"This kid is living in a dream!"
"Hahaha, he is indeed not awake."
"Shortie, you have never seen the crystal well, right? I will let you go down and take a bath …"
…
Then, a crocodile walked forward and rubbed its fists with bad intentions.
Ding Meng looked at him coldly. He didn't speak, but his eyes were a little sharp.
The crocodile seemed to be rubbing his fist, but in fact, he was secretly wagging his thick tail. In fact, the two most powerful parts of a crocodile were its mouth and its tail. Both were sharp weapons, let alone the Flame Dragon Crocodile of the Flame Planet.
"Kid, bear with it. It won't hurt. It will be over soon." The crocodile suddenly twisted its body and swept its tail with red flames at Ding Meng like a steel whip.
Not to mention how great the force was, just the layer of red flames alone had a temperature of over a thousand degrees. Logically speaking, as long as it was an ordinary person, they would either be swept away or burned to death.
Unfortunately, Ding Meng was not an ordinary human. He didn't even move. When the crocodile swept its tail at him, he casually reached out and grabbed it. The red flames didn't burn his hand. Instead, they mysteriously disappeared.
"Very fast indeed!"
After saying this, Ding Meng gently pulled. The five-meter-tall crocodile was forcibly dragged to the ground.
The group was dumbfounded. Where the hell did this human come from?
How did he have so much strength?
While everyone was still dumbfounded, Ding Meng swung his hand and the crocodile was flung into the air. It screamed and struggled. When they turned around, they saw that it had landed right in the middle of the crystal well.
"Plop … Tch …"
As soon as the huge crocodile came into contact with the lava, it instantly turned into white smoke. Even the white smoke was instantly swallowed by the lava.
Ding Meng clapped his hands and muttered to himself, "I wonder if the next crystal tide will spray out better crystals if I throw someone down there."
The leader was stunned for two seconds before he quickly roared, "Motherf * cker, go! Throw this kid into the Crystal Well, now, now!"
The dozen or so crocodiles immediately pounced on Ding Meng. Their movements could not be seen clearly by the dragonflies of the Flame Butterfly Race because they were too fast.
However, even though the crocodiles were fast, Ding Meng was even faster. Ding Meng seemed to split into many afterimages all of a sudden. After a series of crackling sounds, more than ten crocodiles once again flew up into the sky, kicking and clawing with their limbs.
Struggling was useless. When Ding Meng attacked, he also used telekinesis to bind them. It would be strange if they could break free.
"Plop, plop, plop …"
"Tch, tch, tch, tch, tch, tch …"
This time, what came out of the deep pit was no longer flames. Instead, it was white smoke. All the crocodiles were melted, and the air was filled with a very unpleasant burnt smell.
"Give it to me!" Ding Meng stretched out his hand again.
The leader was stunned. He decisively threw the two Tricolor Eternal Flame Crystals into the air. "Take it. I don't want it anymore. I still have something to do, so I'll leave first."
He thought that Ding Meng would reach out to catch the crystals so that he could take the opportunity to slip away. In fact, he was not slow. He turned around and reached the bottom of the hill. If he continued forward, he would be dozens of meters away. The whole process took less than a second. Even the dragonflies of the Flame Butterfly Race were not as fast as him. This was the main reason why the dragonflies were afraid of him.
However, just as he was about to enter the entrance of a cave, Ding Meng's figure appeared in front of him like a ghost. He spread his hands and said, "Give it to me!"
"I've already given it to you!"
The crocodile wanted to cry. F * ck, it was fine that he was fast, but why was this human even more ruthless than him when it came to snatching things?
