Chapter 40

A huge flaming dragon head emerged from Mitchell’s palm.

Following which, the flaming dragon head flew straight toward the black wolf. The flames behind it followed closely like a gigantic fire dragon.

The Fire Dragon Spell was extremely fast. It arrived in front of Black Wolf almost instantly.

Before the black wolf could react, it was hit by the Fire Dragon Spell.

The black wolf howled in pain.

The wolf kept moving its claws wildly, but his body could not move forward at all.

The dragon body was still surging forward.

The black wolf’s entire body was engulfed by the Fire Dragon Spell.

The black wolf’s fur crackled as though it had been roasted.

Meanwhile, the black wolf’s body was already emitting the aroma of roasted meat.

The Fire Dragon Spell completely dissipated after a long time.

Meanwhile, the black wolf’s body was also paralyzed as it collapsed to the ground.

Mitchell leaped with his spear and landed on the black wolf’s head.

[Ding. Detected that Host has subdued the giant wolf. Do you want to merge?]

Mitchell was taken aback by this notification.

Such a powerful Fire Dragon Spell had hit the black wolf completely, and the black wolf was only “subdued” and not “killed”?

However, even though he was surprised, Mitchell did not intend to let go of this opportunity.

“Yes!”

After he gave the answer, the system immediately began to integrate.

The huge black wolf corpse under his feet gradually turned into points of light, continuously pouring into Mitchell’s glabella.

It took a full ten minutes for all the dots to merge into Mitchell’s body.

[Ding! Congratulations to Host for successfully fusing with the black wolf. Genes obtained—10 Times The Original Size.]

Mitchell was delighted to see the message.

This giant wolf had such a huge body because it had huge genes.

As for why it had such genes, then nobody knew.

Mitchell guessed as he watched the purple fog slowly approaching back towards him.

Perhaps, it was because it had been affected by the poisonous fog for a long time that its body had undergone some kind of mutation.

However, Mitchell did not dare touch the purple fog.

After all, he only had one life. He could not use it as an experiment.

***

Without the black wolf’s obstruction, Mitchell could see the road ahead.

The reason why the black wolf was unwilling to leave was because there was a huge cave behind it.

And there seemed to be something in this cave that black wolf could not bear to give up.

Soon, the poisonous fog returned and covered the cave again.

But Mitchell wasn’t going to use the protective shield again.

The visibility was too low, so it was not very convenient.

“Little Mitch, blow away the poisonous fog with the wind magic just like before.

“Is that alright?”

“Ow ~” Little Mitch leaped off Mitchell’s shoulder and smiled confidently.

With Little Mitch’s assurance, Mitchell felt relieved and boldly walked toward the cave.

Behind him, a man in black revealed himself from afar. He looked at the cave that Mitchell had entered with a faint glint in his eyes.

He silently removed the protective shield around his body and muttered to himself,

“I never expected that I could use such a method to disperse the poisonous fog. The young master of the Leons… How interesting.”

A moment later, the man in black flicked glance at the place where the giant wolf disappeared.

Then, he followed Mitchell into the cave which he had entered earlier.

***

Mitchell and Little Mitch walked through the tunnels of the cave one after another.

Miraculously, the poisonous fog outside did not appear in the cave.

But even though there was no poisonous fog, Mitchell looked serious.

He knew that in the face of unknown dangers, he had to be vigilant at all times.

Those who could kill you were usually not the big lions or tigers, but the poisonous snakes hidden in the bushes.

***

This tunnel seemed to have no end.

Mitchell still didn’t see the end after walking for a long time.

He couldn’t help but wonder if he had gone in the wrong direction.

“Perhaps, there’s nothing in this cave?”

Mitchell stopped and stared ahead with a frown.

A strange feeling rose from the bottom of his heart.

However, he could not pinpoint exactly what was wrong.

On the other hand, Little Mitch was walking leisurely behind Mitchell.

Mitchell smiled helplessly when he saw Little Mitch.

Why was this child so relaxed and calm even in such a strange place?

It was as if it was somewhere it knew.

“!”

Something flashed through Mitchell’s mind!

If Mitchell remembered correctly, Little Mitch had appeared very nervous when he had first entered the cave.

It was grabbing his shoulders tightly and refused to get down.

When did Little Mitch, for whatever reason, suddenly become relaxed?

Instinctively, Mitchell couldn’t help looking at Little Mitch.

Little Mitch, on the other hand, seemed completely oblivious to Mitchell’s gaze.

Instead, it looked around, as if it was searching for something on the wall.

A moment later, Little Mitch’s wandering eyes locked onto a spot, and it immediately started dancing with joy.

Mitchell followed Little Mitch’s gaze.

There was nothing special about the wall, apart from an obvious bulge.

Mitchell tried to pry it open. Unfortunately, it wasn’t some hidden door mechanism.

Now Mitchell’s frown deepened.

He felt like he had fallen into a strange loop.

He couldn’t find the exit at all.

“Wait. Strange loop?”

A thought occurred to Mitchell, and he stared intently at the bulge in the wall.

Obviously, apart from the fact that this place looked different from the other walls, there was almost no difference.

However, Little Mitch became very happy when it found the bump.

Furthermore, there was a crucial point here.

Little Mitch was “looking” for this bump deliberately instead of discovering the bulge.

Which meant…

“Little Mitch, have you seen this before?”

Mitchell seemed to have found an opening. He asked as he pointed to the lump on the wall.

Little Mitch nodded happily at Mitchell’s question and danced with joy.

It seemed that this was not the first time Little Mitch had seen this bump.

It had to be at least three times!

In other words, it was very likely that he had been circling around here all along!

“Little Mitch, do you know how to eliminate illusions?”

“Ow~”

Little Mitch nodded immediately and let out a tender dragon’s roar.

Then, the surrounding scenery suddenly began to distort.

When everything calmed down, Mitchell suddenly realized that the tunnel he was walking in was not a straight line, but a circular path!

In other words, he had been walking in circles!

Moreover, there was a staircase winding up the inner ring of the ring-shaped tunnel right there.

But because of the illusion, he hadn’t been able to see it.

Then, Mitchell narrowed his eyes as he finally understood.

No wonder the city lord said that silver dragons were needed to come to this place.

Because, there were all kinds of problems that needed to be solved with magic here!
