“I also feel a bit strange, but…”
Shen Hongxiu shook her head: “Whether outside the Secret Realm or within it,
I haven’t found any peculiar people or noticed anything unusual.’
“Really?” Chen Fan looked at Ye Hao and said, “Haozi, your Sacred Moon Morning Glory possesses a unique and powerful perception.”
“Summon it and communicate with it to sense the surroundings from time to time…”
Ye Hao moved closer: “Brother Fan, have you discovered anything?”
“No.” Chen Fan frowned: “I just feel something is not right… Do you still remember the incident we encountered in Wind-controlling Valley on our way here?”
Ye Hao’s and Chu Xuan’s expressions changed slightly.
Shen Hongxiu was stunned: “What happened on your way here?”
Ye Hao said: “Our War God Academy’s convoy was attacked by a wolf pack in
Wind -controlling Valley.”
“How is that possible?” Shen Hongxiu’s face changed: “The Wind Wolves in Wind-controlling Valley have always been scattered, and their activity areas have always been in the ravines on both sides of the gorge, rarely attacking people passing through the valley.”
Chen Fan said: “We killed the Wind Wolf King of Wind-controlling Valley and found that it had been corrupted by demonic power… In other words, there must be some person or organization secretly manipulating all this.”
“They used the Wind Wolf King to summon the wolf pack and attack the War
God Academy’s convoy!”
“At that time, the teachers also sensed that something was wrong.”
“So the convoy didn’t continue immediately, and it wasn’t until East Sea City sent several strongmen that we set off again for the 1st Secret Realm.”
Shen Hongxiu was puzzled: “What’s the point of doing this? A group of low-level Wind Wolves can’t harm the War God Academy’s convoy.”
“Let alone the hidden experts in the academy, even ordinary teachers have at least 8th-level Guardian Beasts.”
Chu Xuan, who had been silent all along, suddenly said: “The only possibility for the wolf pack to attack the convoy is to buy time.”
“And, in fact, after the teachers found something wrong, we waited in place for more than half an hour, and the convoy didn’t continue to the 1st Secret Realm until East Sea City sent 15 powerful men.” Chen Fan frowned: “Buying time, but for what?”
Chu Xuan fell silent.
War God Academy students entering the 1st Secret Realm trial in East Sea City were only going through the periphery and were unlikely to affect any person or forces.
What was the use of delaying the arrival of War God Academy students in the 1st Secret Realm?
Atop the Golden Gyrfalcon, the four people remained silent.
However, Shen Daodao, who was riding on the King Death Spider below, couldn’t keep his mouth shut and kept shouting from time to time.
But the four of Chen Fan up high in the air simply didn’t want to engage with him.
At this moment, waves of heat accompanied by a gale swept over them.
The dark brown Fire Plume Mountain appeared within their sight.
On Fire Plume Mountain, there was hardly any vegetation, and red lava pools were everywhere.
To the left of Fire Plume Mountain, there were huge piles of Skyfire Ant and Blood Petal Flower Demon corpses.
That location should be where Shen Hongxiu had encountered the Blood Petal Flower King before.
Chen Fan gently patted the Golden Gyrfalcon, and they flew in that direction.
The closer they got to Fire Plume Mountain, the higher the temperature.
The air was filled with a pungent odor.
In this kind of environment, without the Black Fire Poison, it’s difficult for normal monsters to survive for long.
Only fire-element monsters can adapt to this area.
But Blood Petal Flower Demons are not fire-element monsters.
Only Sunflowers and Fire Flowers could possibly grow in the lava lakes nearby, making it almost impossible for Blood Petal Flowers to grow.
The Blood Petal Flower King actually built its lair in such an area…
No wonder none of the three great Pioneer Groups of East Sea City could catch it.
“Everyone, be careful.”
Chen Fan let the Golden Gyrfalcon fly down and land on an outcropping of a huge rock.
Below, there were Skyfire Ant corpses and Blood Petal Flower Demon corpses everywhere.
Looking further away, Chen Fan could see the “two gorges” Shen Hongxiu had mentioned earlier.
They had been split open by the Blood Petal Flower King’s whip.
But the corpses of the two 10th -level Skyfire Ants were missing.
He wasn’t sure if the Blood Petal Flower King had dragged them back into the cave.
A little farther away was a cluster of honeycomb coal-like caves…
Fire Plume Mountain looked like it was riddled with holes.
Hiding in such a place, the Blood Petal Flower King was indeed difficult to find.
Mere mortals, when entering such a place, would be unsure if they could even find a way out, let alone the Blood Petal Flower King.
Chu Xuan closed his eyes, sensed the surroundings, and then sniffed before saying: “The concentration of the Black Fire Poison lingering in the air is about the same as usual.’
Ye Hao was unconvinced: “Are you a dog’s nose, able to smell it with just a sniff?”
Chu Xuan ignored him and looked at Chen Fan again: “As long as we don’t enter the depths of the cave, the concentration of Black Fire Poison in the air shouldn’t cause any harm to humans or Guardian Beasts.”
“But no one can be sure whether the outbreak of Black Fire Poison mentioned by Shen Hongxiu will happen again.”
Chen Fan nodded and had Shen Daodao, who caught up from behind, summon the Dragon Blood Mad Lion and a few other Guardian Beasts.
After letting the Dragon Blood Mad Lion and the Split Earth Fire Dragon release two bowls of blood, Chen Fan mixed the blood of these two Guardian Beasts and poured it into cups.
“Five cups, one for each person.”
Chen Fan picked up a cup and said, “Drink the blood of the Dragon Blood Mad Lion and Split Earth Fire Dragon. For two hours, you don’t need to worry too much about the Black Fire Poison.”
“But after two hours, whether we can kill the Blood Petal Flower King or not, we must withdraw from Fire Plume Mountain.”
Shen Daodao picked up the cup and sniffed it, his eyes and nose shriveling up:
“Damn, this smell… it’s just like shit!”
Chen Fan, who was about to drink it, put it back down.
Upon hearing this, Shen Hongxiu also put her cup down: “Shen Daodao, if you don’t speak, no one will think you’re mute!”
“It really smells awful!” Shen Daodao sniffed again, looking very disgusted.
Chu Xuan, on the other hand, seemed to hear nothing, and drank the blood in his cup in one gulp.
Seeing this, Chen Fan fiercely glared at Shen Daodao and drank the blood in his cup too.
As soon as he drank the cup of blood, Chen Fan felt his stomach churn, almost vomiting it out.
Sigh, it was all his own doing…
He must force himself to drink it.
Most importantly, there was indeed no better way to suppress the Black Fire Poison.
Suddenly, Ye Hao took a pinch of powder and sprinkled it into Shen Daodao’s cup: “Add some seasoning for you. This stuff smells good.”
Shen Daodao was furious: “Fuck, I’m already eating shit, and you’re still poisoning it!”
Chen Fan and Shen Hongxiu:
At that moment, a group of Blood Petal Flower Demons suddenly walked out of a cave and began dragging the corpses of Heavenly Fire Ants back into the cave.
Seeing this, Shen Daodao was enraged: “The corpses of these Heavenly Fire Ants and Blood Petal Flower Demons are our trophies! How dare these evil creatures compete with us for trophies?!”
Chen Fan glanced around and said, “Shen Daodao, take a few Guardian Beasts with you, kill that group of Blood Petal Flower Demons, and see what’s going on in that cave.”
“We can’t all go together, lest too many of us startle the enemy.”
Shen Daodao sneered: “Why should it be me?”
“What if the Blood Petal Flower King is hiding in that cave? Wouldn’t I be instantly killed by it?”
He turned to look at Ye Hao: “Haozi, you go. Your Heavenly Waste Divine Bull and Split Earth Fire Dragon can take more punishment.”
Ye Hao looked at Chen Fan, then at Shen Daodao and said, “Let’s play rock-paper-scissors. Whoever loses goes.”
Shen Daodao: “Fine!” “Let’s go, I’m using rock.”
Ye Hao: “Let’s start.”
The two took a deep breath and threw their fists at the same time.
Shen Daodao threw rock, while Ye Hao threw paper.
Shen Daodao:
Ye Hao sneered: “Kid, you try this trick on me? I knew you’d say you were going to throw rock, that’s why I threw paper. But you actually thought I’d throw scissors. Then you thought I’d see through that and throw rock, so you prepared to throw paper. However, you also knew that I’m so smart that I’d see through that too, so I’d definitely throw scissors. So you just threw rock, but unfortunately, you didn’t think I’d already thought three levels deep and deliberately threw paper!”
Shen Daodao:
Chen Fan:
Shen Hongxiu:
Ye Hao was smug: “How does it feel to admit the difference in intelligence?” Shen Daodao thought for a while, scratching his head, still confused.
“What are you thinking about?” Ye Hao kicked him: “Hurry up and go, slaughter that group of Blood Petal Flower Demons and see what’s going on in that cave?”
“I suspect those two Level-10 Heavenly Fire Ants were dragged into that cave.”
Shen Daodao had no choice but to take up his longsword, along with the Dragon Blood Mad Lion and Gossipy Dragon, and sneak over there using the rocks for cover.
But as soon as he approached the cave entrance, a meter-tall Blood Petal
Flower Demon suddenly jumped onto a rock above him: “Squeak, squeak!” “Sword in hand, angrily slashing the Flower Demon!”
Shen Daodao’s figure flickered, and with a single sword stroke, he cut the
Blood Petal Flower Demon in half.
“Chest filled with vigor, soaring through the sky!”
The Dragon Blood Mad Lion opened its mouth wide, and with a move called “Blazing Dance,” it sent a group of Blood Petal Flower Demons screeching with pain!
“The fire in my heart, raging and burning!”
With Shen Daodao’s shout, the Gossipy Dragon also cast its skill “Fire Pillar”!
The flames of the two Guardian Beasts raged, instantly killing a large group of Blood Petal Flower Demons!
Chen Fan couldn’t help but sigh.
Shen Daodao reminded him of Yun Canghai, who had appeared with Qiao Bangzhu’s BGM….
