Deep underground, all was quiet, except for the boiling and cracking of the scorching lava.
“It’s a pity that this Illusion Star Stone hasn’t finished gestating yet,” David Jones said as he looked at the pure silver stone not far away, a trace of regret flashing through his eyes.
The Illusion Star Stone, constantly undulating, slowly absorbed the surrounding spatial energy emitted by the ripples, and its volume increased visibly.
“It seems it needs a little more time to take shape completely.”
David decided to wait for the Illusion Star Stone to finish gestating.
He hoped everything would go smoothly.
If it didn’t congeal before the match ended, David would have to retrieve it early.
Although doing so would reduce the effects of the Illusion Star Stone, there was nothing else he could do.
“There seems to be something moving in the lava!” Rainbow suddenly warned.
Upon hearing this, David was slightly taken aback.
Could there be unknown Beasts lurking in this barren, crimson world?
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!”
At that moment, several hot streams of lava erupted from the underground molten rock flow.
Rainbow’s body moved slightly and effortlessly dodged the oncoming attacks.
David hurried to look at the source of the attack.
Under his gaze, two gigantic red creatures with three black stripes on their heads emerged from the lava.
It turned out that there really was life in this molten world.
About three meters in length, these creatures were covered in a sturdy, red-hot shell that emerged unscathed from the molten lava.
Their ferocious cone-shaped heads had two slender whiskers and a pair of blood-red eyes that were as big as lightbulbs and filled with brutality.
Beneath their tough, spiky bodies were three pairs of strong, slender legs.
As their legs moved, vast amounts of hot lava flowed down the spines on their legs.
The most eye-catching feature was their massive crimson claws on their chests, measuring nearly two meters in size and shimmering with deadly sharpness.
At a glance, these two bizarre red Beasts resembled lobsters, as if they were giant cooked lobsters.
David couldn’t help swallowing, as just watching from a distance brought involuntary tears to his eyes.
“Pet Name: Lava Lobster”
“Pet Type: Fire, Earth”
“Species Level: Superior”
“Grade: Class III upper-level”
“Species Skill: Lava Body, Magma Ejection, Blazing Strike”
After identifying them, David subconsciously licked his lips.
They seemed delicious!
Underneath those huge red claws must be hidden a lot of tender, tempting lobster meat.
As David’s eyes stared intently at the Lava Lobsters and felt his appetite widen, the vicious expressions in their eyes narrowed, seemingly agitated.
The next second.
They emitted a sharp, piercing sound from their mouths, and their fan-shaped tails swished violently, ejecting their bodies from the lava stream.
Seeing the fresh ingredients rushing toward him, David’s eyes sparkled slightly.
“Cold Breath.”
Upon hearing this, Rainbow instantly produced a fiercely cold, azure glow in her mouth and breathed it out.
The icy, cold light flashed past, and the two charging Lava Lobsters were instantly frozen into exquisite ice sculptures.
The ice-encased Lava Lobsters didn’t give up; their powerful bodies began to struggle violently, molten lava emerged from them, and a large amount of mist ascended.
“Go for the head directly,” David relayed through his thoughts.
Rainbow nodded slightly, and a silver-white ice blade emitting a sharp light appeared in front of her. With a flash of silver light, the ice blade brutally cleaved at the two ice sculptures in front of it.
With the addition of Frostfall Ashes, the cold ice blade easily separated the heads of the ice sculptures.
The previously struggling Lava Lobsters suddenly lost their vitality, and a shocking chill surged out in an instant.
Rainbow moved her thoughts, and two fire-red Magic Cores flew out of the ice sculptures and landed in front of David Jones.
David Jones casually put the Magic Cores into his Star Ring.
Compared to inedible Magic Cores, as he was hungry at that moment, he was more concerned about the fresh feast in front of him.
“Icy sashimi or healthy barbecue?”
David Jones stroked his chin, deep in thought.
“One sashimi, one barbecue!” Rainbow couldn’t help but lean forward.
“Okay, I’ll listen to you.”
David Jones smiled and then started to work on the fresh ingredients in front of him.
He had nothing better to do, so he thought he’d treat himself to a big meal, after all, there were still plenty of utensils and seasonings stored in the Star Ring.
Fifteen minutes later, two large plates of delicious dishes appeared in front of David Jones.
On the left plate were crystal-clear slices of shrimp meat, resting on a bed of white, clean ice.
Surrounding the shrimp meat were pieces of Purple Acid Fruit that David Jones had sliced, emitting an enticing aroma
As for the right side, a specially-made sauce with butter, Red-tongue Leaf, and some spices was evenly spread over the top of the shrimp meat after being pan-fried.
Red, tender shrimp meat could be seen within the bright red lobster shell, and the aroma wafted through the air.
Rainbow looked at the steaming lobster feast in front of her, unable to resist sticking her pink tongue out for a lick.
“It’s ready to eat!”
Looking at the delicious dishes in front of him with all the color, aroma and taste, David Jones was satisfied with his work.
Even in the heat of the Lava World, his cooking skills had not declined in the slightest.
“Come, try my new dish.”
Upon hearing this, Rainbow carefully stretched out her claws to take a piece of shrimp meat, looked at it curiously for a few moments, then popped it into her mouth for a chew.
David Jones looked at Rainbow with curiosity from the side, wanting to know her feedback as soon as possible.
Rainbow was slightly stunned, and then her eyes lit up.
“Delicious! Even better than grilled fish!”
Seeing the satisfied Rainbow in front of him, David Jones’s face broke into a contented smile.
“Eat more if you like it. Ingredients as fresh as these are a rare sight in the outside world.”
At this point, David Jones couldn’t help but take a piece of tender shrimp meat and put it in his mouth as well.
“Wow, this lobster meat bursts with juice! It’s truly befitting of a Class III Superior Beast!”
After relishing his meal, David Jones exhaled contentedly.
“I have to prepare more Lava Lobster meat for Lolo and Daphne.”
After all, he still needed to wait for the Illusion Star Stone to be incubated, so he could spend some time hunting Lava Lobsters here.
He couldn’t miss out on such a delicious treat!
Even if he accidentally caught a few extra, Rainbow’s intense cold could keep the lobster meat fresh for a long time.
“Let me catch them!” Rainbow nodded excitedly.
Although she was an Ice-type pet, the thought of the possible Lava Lobster inhabitants beneath the Lava River made her want to go down and check it out.
David Jones glanced at the silver stone not far away, his tone a little relaxed.
“We don’t need to go down. With the Illusion Star Stone acting as bait, we might be able to catch even more Lava Lobsters..”
