Chapter 1548: Chapter 1545: Azure Water Divine Flood Dragon

Specialized in one’s field!

The miser’s combat ability may be lacking, but when it comes to stealing gold and jewels, it’s truly unmatched.

In less than half an hour, as if by some divine intervention, it retrieved the Gold Attribute Formation Crystal Stone hidden inside the Four-cornered Golden Swallowing Beast’s belly.

Seeing the Gold Attribute Formation Crystal Stone in hand, a satisfied smile immediately graced the corners of Li Chen’s mouth.

Now he had obtained four of the Five Elements Formation Crystal Stones, with only the last Water Attribute Crystal Stone remaining.

No time to waste, Li Chen did not linger on Venus and immediately headed towards the final destination, Mercury.

Mercury, the planet closest to the Solar System, is also the smallest of the Eight Planets, even smaller than the moons of Jupiter and Saturn. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Li Chen, passing through Mercury’s atmosphere, landed directly on its surface.

Surveying the distance, he found that Mercury’s surface closely resembled the Moon, with craters scattered about.

In addition, there were also vast plains, basins, radiating patterns, and extremely steep cliffs.

Like Venus, Mercury has no oceans and no liquid water.

However, there is a significant amount of ice at Mercury’s North Pole.

Because of Mercury’s proximity to the Sun, the temperature on its sun-facing side can reach four to five hundred degrees Celsius.

The Azure Water Divine Flood Dragon is a Water Attribute Divine Beast that enjoys residing in oceans and lakes.

Without oceans or lakes on Mercury, it has no choice but to stay in the ice-capped places of the poles.

After all, solid ice is simply liquid water, and the two can transform depending on temperature.

With the abilities of the Azure Water Divine Flood Dragon, achieving this should be no problem.

Therefore, after landing on Mercury, Li Chen wasted no time in heading straight to Mercury’s North Pole.

Mercury’s North Pole temperature reached over minus 170 degrees Celsius, which could be described as extremely cold.

Of course, such coldness had no effect on Li Chen.

Li Chen stood on the highest ice layer, releasing his Divine Sense to cover an area of several thousand miles in search of the Azure Water Divine Flood Dragon.

Suddenly!

He felt a strange vibration from the ice beneath his feet.

Looking down, he saw a face pressed against the ice, staring at him with large, ghostly green eyes that did not blink.

Startled, Li Chen stomped a foot on the ice and leaped into the air.

"Crack!"

The ice layer couldn’t withstand Li Chen’s powerful stomp and immediately shattered.

With the ice breaking, a creature with an azure green body, resembling a python but with four legs, burst out.

It glared at Li Chen with bulging eyes, shining with an emerald green light, coldly watching him.

"Who are you? Did Emperor Zhuanxu send you to release me?"

When it mentioned "release me," the Azure Water Divine Flood Dragon’s tone became noticeably agitated.

Clearly, it was eager to leave this dreadful place.

Seeing the reaction of the Azure Water Divine Flood Dragon, Li Chen feigned ignorance and asked, "Do you want to leave here?"

The Azure Water Divine Flood Dragon nodded repeatedly and replied, "Yes, of course. I’ve been stuck here for a hundred thousand years, it’s unbearable, I don’t want to stay another moment!"

Li Chen smiled slightly and said, "Alright, as long as you help me with something, I’ll take you away. What do you think?"

The Azure Water Divine Flood Dragon was momentarily stunned and asked, "What kind of thing?"

Li Chen paused and said, "Set up a Five Elements Extinguishing God Formation with the Fire Phoenix, Ju Mang, the Four-cornered Golden Swallowing Beast, and the Earth Bear!"

The Azure Water Divine Flood Dragon looked astonished and asked, "Five Elements Extinguishing God Formation? Who do you want to extinguish?"

Li Chen did not hold back and straightforwardly said, "Two Mahayana Divine Monarchs!"

Based on the power of the Five Elements Divine Beasts, forming a Five Elements Extinguishing God Formation could easily extinguish two Mahayana Divine Monarchs.

Seeing the Azure Water Divine Flood Dragon fall into thought, Li Chen casually inquired further.

"So, are you willing or not?"

Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, the Azure Water Divine Flood Dragon came back to its senses.

"I don’t mind, as long as you can get me out of this cursed place. But, the Fire Phoenix, Ju Mang, the Earth Bear, and the Four-cornered Golden Swallowing Beast might not listen to you!"

The Five Elements Divine Beasts all hail from Ancient Times, and each has lived for millions of years.

Therefore, none of them could be considered fools.

Through this brief exchange with Li Chen, the Azure Water Divine Flood Dragon already realized that Li Chen was not a person of Emperor Zhuanxu.

It still had doubts about Li Chen’s strength now!

Li Chen chuckled dismissively and replied, "No need for you to worry about that!"

After speaking, he summoned the Earth Bear, the Four-cornered Golden Swallowing Beast, the Fire Phoenix, and Ju Mang.

Seeing these four Divine Beasts, the Azure Water Divine Flood Dragon was momentarily stunned.

It never expected that Li Chen had already subdued the Earth Bear, the Fire Phoenix, and the others.

In that case, it no longer hesitated.

"Alright, I’ll work with you!"

Seeing the Azure Water Divine Flood Dragon agree so readily, Li Chen nodded in satisfaction.

Then, he asked, "Now, I have obtained four of the Five Elements Formation Crystal Stones, still missing one Water Attribute Formation Crystal Stone. I assume you know where it is?"

The Azure Water Divine Flood Dragon nodded and replied, "I know!"

After speaking, it pointed at the ice beneath and said, "It’s right below this ice layer!"

Li Chen followed the direction pointed by the Azure Water Divine Flood Dragon.

He used his Insight Divine Power to scan through the thick ice, hoping to find the trace of the Water Attribute Formation Crystal Stone.

However, the ice was incredibly thick, its height estimated to surpass even Mount Everest, completely blocking Li Chen’s view.

It seemed that to obtain this Water Attribute Formation Crystal Stone, a deeper exploration was necessary.

Thinking of this, Li Chen turned and asked the Azure Water Divine Flood Dragon, "Do you have a way to get down there?"

The Azure Water Divine Flood Dragon pondered for a moment and replied, "The ice layer is 19 kilometers thick, I can only go 15 kilometers deep, beyond that I cannot go!"

After speaking, it averted its gaze, avoiding eye contact with Li Chen.

Seeing this, Li Chen understood that the Azure Water Divine Flood Dragon was lying.

It surely knew a way to reach the 19-kilometer depth.

However, since the Azure Water Divine Flood Dragon said so, it was not appropriate for Li Chen to force the issue.

Li Chen nodded and said, "Alright, you take the lead and go down 15 kilometers first!"

Seeing it had gotten away with it, the Azure Water Divine Flood Dragon nodded in relief.

"Alright, follow me!"

Afterwards, it leapt into the ice layer, its body shaking violently like a small electric motor.

As the Azure Water Divine Flood Dragon’s body trembled more rapidly, it drilled a three-meter diameter hole through the ice.
