"So, who is this Primal that you want to get rid of?" Yuan asked.
"Not a Primal. He's a Predator." The Divine Fox corrected him. "He has a dragon bloodline—a real one."
"Dragon bloodline, huh? Is that why you cannot attack him?"
"He's from the Divine Dragon Sanctuary, one of the top powers in the Primal Expanse. If I attack him and offend them, they could easily destroy me and my territory. However, you're a different story. Even if you kill him, it won't affect you once you leave this place."
Yuan raised an eyebrow and said, "But you were expecting Yingzi to kill him, and she is a resident of this world."
Divine Fox of Grand Propechy looked at Yingzi and sneered, "You know nothing about Shadow Dwellers. With their ability to hide their presence completely, she can traverse the Primal Expanse without worry, even with the entire world hunting her."
"Even if she's completely invisible, it doesn't make it okay to use her like that. Also, I don't have to kill your neighbor, only get rid of him, right?"
The Divine Fox of Grand Prophecy became silent to ponder.
A moment later, she spoke, "I would prefer it if you killed him, but if you can't, just make sure he never returns."
"Sounds good. Then I'll go visit him now." Yuan said.
"What about me?" Yingzi asked.
"I don't think I'll need your help this time, but you can come with me just in case."
Yingzi nodded and decided to follow him, motivated by the opportunity to possibly acquire more meat skewers.
Yuan began traveling to the dragon's territory after acquiring more information from the Divine Fox.
According to the Divine Fox of Grand Prophecy, Yuan's next target was a Starfire Dragon, who resided within the Flaming Peak—a fiery land perpetually engulfed in flames.
The Flaming Peak was roughly ten days away from Mystic Valley, even when traveling at Yingzi's swift pace. As they neared their destination, the temperature soared to extreme levels, reaching intensities that could melt even Spirit Kings if they ventured too close.
'If it weren't for my physique, I would probably be a puddle right now…' Yuan thought to himself as he tried to cool himself.
He looked at Yingzi, who didn't have a single drop of sweat on her, seemingly unaffected by the intense heat.
The heat only worsened as they approached the Flaming Peak. However, despite his situation, Yuan took this opportunity to temper his body.
<You have gained Weak Fire Resistance>
<You have gained Powerful Fire Resistance>
As Yuan bolstered his fire resistance, the oppressive heat began to affect him less. Gradually, he adjusted until the once scorching temperatures felt merely warm, akin to that of lukewarm water.
Upon arriving at Flaming Peak, Yuan was met with a fiery spectacle. The place itself was an island featuring a solitary mountain at its center. The entire island was engulfed in flames, and the mountain was an active volcano, further intensifying the blazing landscape.

Resting within the volcano, submerged in lava, was a solitary silhouette. Upon closer examination with his divine sense, Yuan discovered it was a handsome young man with short red hair.
