When Hao Xuan ran his fingers across the surface of the blue crystal he could feel the energy of the sky roaring inside and everything started to make sense.
The lizard was obviously a creature of the earth filled to the brim with fire energy so it was inherently incapable of dealing with the cold energy of the sky. It came too far high up the volcano and accidentally absorbed some Yin energy, which poisoned it.
"You must be really special if even this little change in the environment can affect you this much. Hold still," he reached out with his index finger attempting to pull out the blue crystal but the surrounding crystals were blocking it.
Pressed for time, he didn't have the luxury of being overly cautious.
"This might hurt a bit," he warned before striking at the base of the skin and forcefully pulling out the blue crystal.
"OuUuUuUu!"
The lizard groaned in a mix of pain and relief as some of its blood splashed onto the steps, leaving scorch marks on the volcano.
