Tana's words piqued Thor's interest. As a powerful dragon, he could sleep for years at a time, or remain awake for extended periods.
Not feeling sleepy at the moment, Thor simply flapped his wings, leaped out of the lava, and flew towards the nearby arena, creating a shower of golden rain.
Compared to him, she appeared exceptionally small, yet she was already surrounded by a similar aura. She quickly flapped her wings and followed closely behind, never leaving his side.
The distance, which wasn't far to begin with, was covered in a single glide. The enormous red dragon descended from the open ceiling of the arena, its footsteps causing the ground to tremble and thud.
Thor glanced at the sand beneath his feet. Without the obstruction of the filthy blood, he instantly sensed the anomaly thanks to his keen perception of energy.
With a wingspan of over fifty meters, it cast a shadow that blotted out the sky. With just a simple flap of its wings, it stirred up a strong wind of more than ten levels, blowing away all the sand and gravel beneath it.
A faint crimson array pattern suddenly appeared, and the sulfur, gems, and humanoid viscera placed in different locations seemed to melt and completely seep into the rock.
Thor stared at the pattern beneath his feet, his mind racing with the Dragon Legacy, and he quickly found the relevant information: Demon Summoning.
This thing is all too familiar to evil dragons, especially the five-colored dragons.
After all, Tiamat's divine kingdom is located in the first layer of the Nine Abyss, Aphrodite.
The five-colored dragons living there fought against demons and devils year after year, and naturally, information about these old adversaries was passed down from generation to generation.
Some damned flies were attracted by the smell of blood, hoping to get a share of the spoils from him.
Thor, realizing what was happening, grinned and revealed a silent, sinister smile. Earth-attribute magic surged forth from his body, attracting the blown-away sand and dust, which seemed to flow back in time.
The bloodbath in the abyss! The endless slaughter, the long and continuous death, and the insatiable desire.
As soon as he figured out the function of the wheel in his mind, Thor immediately thought of this most suitable place, where intense emotions were even more concentrated than the air, providing him with an inexhaustible supply of spiritual essence.
This made him yearn for the abyss where the demons resided, and he wished he could immediately throw himself into it.
However, he remained rational and had a clear understanding of himself. In a battlefield where legends were as insignificant as ants and demigods were everywhere, if he rashly participated with his current strength, he would probably not even be considered a main force and would only be used as cannon fodder.
However, Thor would be more than happy to help someone connect a small passage to the abyss.
Since powerful demons can't get through, the weaker ones will become excellent nourishment for him. This might even become one of his main ways to acquire spiritual essence in the next stage.
After all, once the initial excitement of this arena fades, it will definitely cool down gradually until it reaches a stable level.
At that time, his demand for the finest resources will inevitably increase, so having another channel to provide these resources would be ideal.
After calmly restoring the ground to its original state, Thor, along with Tana who had arrived, rose and flew away from the arena.
It seems that we can't completely absorb all those negative emotions and fragments of the soul; we have to leave some residue so that those little mice hiding in the shadows can see hope.
Unable to fall asleep any longer, Thor didn't return to the volcano. Instead, he landed in the plaza at the foot of the mountain and had the kobolds bring the newborn mushroom-man over.
As a life form born from fungi, and having only recently emerged, its movement speed was naturally slow. It took Thor quite a while to finally see the blue umbrella-like canopy.
At first glance, Thor felt that it was extremely similar to the blue mushroom he had extracted. Not only was its color exactly the same as the fluorescent light, but the mucus secreted by its body also contained a kind of vibrant energy.
Because the fungus race exists through a mental network composed of mycelium, there are no offspring in the true sense of the word. From the moment of birth, they inherit a large amount of knowledge and common sense about life.
Therefore, when the blue mushroom-man saw Thor, he showed no surprise at all. Instead, he bowed respectfully and sprayed out a hazy cloud of spore dust.

"Great Dragon Lord, the mushroom-woman Bryce pays homage to you, thanking you for your gift that makes my existence possible."
Thor unconsciously wagged his tail, the sharp edges of his scales scraping the ground and sending up sparks of light, as he asked curiously.
"You're a mushroom-person born from a blue mushroom strain? Did you inherit its self-healing abilities?"
The glow around Bryce fluctuated slightly, seemingly a way for the fungus to express emotions. An invisible psychic energy emanated from her, and her flat voice rang out again.
"Are you talking about the blue mushroom? Yes! I am an extension of its life; the mucus secreted on my body can be used directly as a healing agent."
Upon hearing this, Thor's eyes lit up. In his eyes, the blue mushroom-man no longer seemed like a walking mushroom, but a gold mine that could continuously produce gold coins.
Healing potions are absolute bestsellers for the vast majority of races, no matter where they are in the world.
If the slime secreted by this mushroom-man could truly inherit the healing effects of the blue mushroom, then a bottle the size of a knuckle could probably sell for around 50 gold coins.
If you add a little honey and dragon crystal dust, the price can increase tenfold; if you dilute it with water, you can also make inferior products to sell to poor people who are short of money.
Thor's keen intuition for wealth instantly sparked a series of ideas in his mind about how to make money using this mushroom-man.
He just happened to be holding a bloody selection process, so here are some ready-made clients.
By paying other creatures to fight in the arena to provide themselves with spiritual essence, and then selling them healing potions to earn back the money spent, a simple cycle can be formed.
After a brief moment of contemplation, in order to earn more wealth, Saul asked again.
"How many mushroom people like you are there in total? What conditions are required for one to be born?"
Bryce did not hesitate and continued to respond in her flat voice.
"I am an individual that was directly conceived and split off from the clan leader, which was based on the Azure Radiance Mushroom and consumed a lot of energy. Therefore, I was already fully developed at birth, and there is only one of me at present."
Starting from a basic spore, it needs to gradually accumulate enough nutrients and life energy to grow from mycelium into a mushroom, and finally mature and transform, which takes about ten months.
This speed is already considered extremely fast for ordinary organisms. After all, mushrooms can grow in nature in a day or two, and then they will become old in another two days.
But Thor still felt it was too slow. Time was money, and the sooner he produced a large quantity of healing potions, the sooner he could bring himself a fortune as vast as rivers and seas.
