System: Replicating The Heavens

Eric said, "Whether your guess is correct or not, the information you told me is very valuable. Speak up, what sort of reward do you want?"

The black-clothed martial warrior was delighted; he had spoken up with this end goal in mind. If the other party eats the meat, it's fine even if he was just given a little bit of soup. He hesitated and said truthfully, "I don't know if there really is a treasure, so it's a bit hasty to talk about rewards. It's just… Brother; could you please save my junior brother first? If he's left in this state any longer, he might remain disabled for his entire life."

The black-clothed martial warrior spoke with some difficulty.

Eric replied, "No problem."

Towards the trivial little guy lying on the ground, Eric didn't really bother to care about him.

He pulled out a pill from his spatial ring and walked over to the two girls' side.

Over half of the youth's body was charred. After he probed the youth with his spiritual sense, Eric discovered that there was still a very oppressive power of thunder that remained in his body. The reason the youth was so gravely wounded was because of the continued ravaging of this thunder.

Eric grabbed onto the youth's hand. With help of the black flame that he used to devour other people's cultivation bases, he was easily able to drain the power of thunder out from the youth and absorb it all into his body, gaining the power of thunder himself.

Then, he shoved the pill in his hand into the youth's mouth.

Although the two girls didn't know what sort of pill Eric had fed their second senior brother, they only had to see how the pill sparked with light while emitting a rich fragrance to guess that this pill was definitely an expensive miracle medicine.

It was said that a high-level miracle medicine was commonly worth tens of thousands of High-Grade Spirit Stones.

If they could obtain such a pill, then the two girls wouldn't have to suffer such hardship in their struggle to reach the Heavenly Completion Stage. Thinking of this, the two girls' eyes heated up with a little bit of envy.

The power of thunder had already been removed by Eric. Together with the quick efficacy of the pill, the unconscious youth coughed and woke up. He looked around in a daze. The heavy attack he had received caused him to forget what had happened to him.

"Good," Eric stood up and said to the black-clothed martial warrior, "Let's go."

"Mm. Thank you." The black-clothed martial warrior wanted to leave the two girls behind to look after his Junior Brother, but he was worried about letting them stay here by themselves, so he let them all go together.

The black-clothed martial warrior had done a great deal of research into tracking Thunder Crocodiles. He was able to follow their tracks and traces of activity to retrace their steps. Even if it was the hard stone ground where the footsteps were scattered, he was still able to rely on smell and other clues to accurately continue.

Finally, he brought Eric to the lair of the two Thunder Crocodiles.

"It's there, behind that big stone."

The black-clothed martial warrior pointed to an extremely secluded and well-hidden cave not too far away. The cave was completely composed of magnetic ore, and it was pitch dark inside. It looked just like the mouth of a giant vicious beast.

Eric investigated with his spiritual sense and found that there was a very vibrant power of thunder that was undulated from inside the cavern. It was right to come along.

He would also have to thank the black-clothed martial warrior, otherwise, he wouldn't have found this place.

Eric said, "It's fine if you wait outside. I'll go in."

Once the big stone was removed, the cave's entrance was revealed. It was just a bit wider than ten feet; it was just enough for a Thunder Crocodile to pass through. It seems that this stone was moved by the Thunder Crocodile in order to hide the entrance to the cavern. It was just like a gate, every time someone went in or out, they had to move the gate.

Eric spread out his spiritual sense and cautiously walked into the cavern. The atmosphere inside was dark and damp, but it didn't affect Eric's perception.

He walked a few dozen feet in when he suddenly saw a light in front of him. The inside of the cave was actually a very large space. Small little inlets were flowing through the ground, and the sound of water dripping onto the ground clearly reverberated through the empty silence of the cavern.

'The scenery here isn't too bad,' Eric thought while maintaining a high degree of vigilance.

At this moment, he suddenly felt his heart go cold. A dark murderous intent had locked onto him, and a feeling of imminent danger rose from his heart. In the next second, a red light flashed, and a thunder ball struck Eric's body!

"Thunder Crocodile."

Eric instantly took out a long spear from his spatial ring.

At this moment, the Thunder Crocodile that had been hiding in the shadows roared again. Red balls of thunder shot out one after another and seven or eight of them bombarded Eric like a fierce storm.

"Kacha!" "Kacha!" "Kacha!"

The rocks around Eric were split apart by the force of this attack. Eric stood in the center of this thunder barrage, accepting every single strand of thunder. An intense and painful tingling sensation flooded into him. At first, Eric was extremely uncomfortable, but as the vast power of thunder was gradually being absorbed by him, Eric felt a faint hint of excitement.

Yes, Eric was using his black flame to absorb the power of thunder.

Talking about black flame, Eric was using it from the very beginning, from the moment he appeared to look for his cousin, Alex White.

And Alex now also has Devouring Flame, a blue-colored flame that could help him devour other people's cultivation base.

Both of them seemed to have gained the same fortune, but their flames were completely different.

Eric's Black Flame was innate, he was born with this flame. It came from his bloodline.

On the other hand, Alex's Devouring Flame came from Blue Monarch.

"This peak Royal Rank Thunder Crocodile is no weaker than a peak Martial King martial warrior.' Recognizing the strength of this Thunder Crocodile, Eric was thrilled. Without a doubt, the only reason that this crocodile was able to evolve had to be because of some rare thunder-attribute treasure.

The Thunder Crocodile found that the usually unstoppable power of its thunder barrage was having no effect whatsoever on Eric. It snarled and dashed towards Eric, wanting to slam him against the stone wall and squash him into a meat patty.

Eric gave a loud shot. He stepped back with his left foot, pressing it against the rock. He lifted both his arms up and true essence erupted from his body. The heavy spear was like a mountain that fell from the sky!

"Bang!"

Eric's spear struck the top of the Thunder Crocodile's back. At the same time, his body took advantage of the inertia and sprang upwards. Right after, the Thunder Crocodile collided against the rock wall, and the entire cavern shook like an earthquake had occurred as massive stones started cascading down.

The black-clothed martial warrior and the two girls had been waiting outside the cave when they suddenly heard a raging roar and the sound of an intense impact ringing from inside. They immediately blanched.

The two girls even considered leaving first. If Eric inside had an accident and the Thunder Crocodile ran out, then they would die with him.

"Senior Brother, we aren't..."

"It's alright." The black-clothed martial warrior waved his hand in dismissal. Listening to the roar, he was able to judge the strength of the Thunder Crocodile inside. It shouldn't be a match for Eric.

"Whiz!"

The Thunder Crocodile struck out with its tail. Eric roared and Flow-like Silk burst out. Without hesitation, he lifted the spear and smashed it down onto the tail.

"Kacha!"

There was the sound of stone cracking. Eric's spear had bent into a crescent moon before shattering completely!

"Die!"

Seeing that the spear has broken, Eric didn't waste any more time thinking about anything. He directly unleashed a great force and used a different move.

"Inferno Thunder Annihilation!"

To deal with a Royal Rank Crocodile, Eric could only use his strongest move. At worst, he would just return to the cavern and wait until he was restored to peak condition before he exited again.

The power of thunder and fire intertwined together. The dark cave instantly bloomed with dazzling brilliance, as if a sun had begun to rise from inside the cave!

The vivid blaze of light illuminated the cavern; even the black-clothed martial warrior and the two girls couldn't help but close their eyes. Following closely was an ear-shattering explosion; it was at least 10 times louder than the Thunder Crocodile's roar!
