C4946 Showing Weakness to the Enemy!
Underneath the lava lake, Fairy Ice Phoenix’s heart stirred as she pondered.
Just now, two rogue cultivators who possessed her soul blood had died outside. It seemed that they had encountered some mishap when they went to intercept the cultivator who had found the Undying Flame Crystal.
When she thought up to here, her brows sank as she became slightly worried.
Beside her, when Zhou Kuang saw this, he became concerned, “Martial Nephew, did something happen?”
“It’s a small matter. Two rogue cultivators died, it’s not a big deal.”
Fairy Ice Phoenix said indifferently, her tone light and her expression calm.
To her, it was only two rogue cultivators who had died, so she naturally wouldn’t take it to heart. The only thing that she cared about was the Undying Flame Crystal in the other party’s possession.
However, the distance between them was extremely far, and even if she wanted to, she was powerless. Thus, she dispelled the thought of personally making a move and focused on the matter before her.
Zhou Kuang’s gaze sank, “Did you receive the news and go to chase after that rogue cultivator who found a piece of Undying Flame Crystal?”
“Yes, I’ve already ordered people to intercept him, but when I saw it, I still underestimated the other party’s strength and two rogue cultivators died.”
Fairy Ice Phoenix spoke indifferently.
Zhou Kuang laughed coldly and said, “Looks like there really are crouching tigers and hidden dragons. I really underestimated this group of rogue cultivators, and two of my subordinates died in a short while.”
Fairy Ice Phoenix didn’t care and said, “It’s fine. Two rogue cultivators are nothing. Right now, we still have to continue searching for the Undying Flame Crystal. As for this person taking away a piece of Undying Flame Crystal, we’ll ignore him for now.”
“Ignore it?”
“Yes.”
Zhou Kuang thought for a moment, and he could only accept this outcome.
“Fine, I’ll listen to you.”
The Ice Phoenix Fairy smiled. “Old Kuang, don’t mind this piece of Undying Flame Crystal. We’ve already obtained two pieces in our possession, and it can be said that Yan Can has obtained a few pieces as well. It can be considered a great harvest.”
Zhou Kuang roared with laughter when he heard this. “Yes, not bad.”
“Hmm?”
At this moment, the expression of the Ice Phoenix Fairy changed slightly, and she withdrew a jade slip and held it in her hand.
Her eyes narrowed as she looked carefully. “This is? Yan Can’s distress signal?”
“What? Yan Can is calling for help?”
Zhou Kuang was stunned on the spot when he heard this. This outcome was something he hadn’t expected.
Yan Can was a true Fifth Tribulation Realm cultivator, so what sort of danger could he encounter in this place? Could it be the Flame Beast Leader?
After a short pause, Zhou Kuang asked anxiously, “Where is it?”
“It’s not far from here, but it’s even deeper than the bottom of the lake,” the Ice Phoenix replied.
“Then what do we do now? Do we go or not?” Zhou Kuang asked.
The Ice Phoenix Fairy’s gaze became slightly focused. “We must go, but we can take it slow. There’s no hurry.”
Zhou Kuang chuckled when he heard this, and then he glanced deeply at the Ice Phoenix Fairy before giving her a thumbs up.
“Good disciple, you really have a way. So long as we go a bit slower, the cultivators of the Heavenly Fire Dao Sect will surely arrive first. If there really is any danger, then there’s no need for us to take the lead. How wonderful!”
When the Ice Phoenix Fairy heard this, she rolled her eyes and did not say anything.
"Let's go."
"Alright, let's go."
At the same time, in the depths of the underground lake, Yan Can looked at the flames in front of him. Flame beasts were appearing one after another, and his heart sank to the bottom.
He opened his mouth and cursed, "Damn, why are there so many Yan Can hiding in the lake? There was no movement before, this is too strange."
Previously, they were fighting fiercely with the leader of the Flame Beasts at the sky above the lava lake, creating a huge commotion.
Logically speaking, these Flame Beasts hiding in the lake should be able to sense the commotion, so why were they still here?
And this was what Yan Can was most worried about.
The Flame Beasts were in the lava lake, and their strength could increase by a large margin, making them very difficult to deal with.
Thinking of this, he slowly retreated, wanting to escape from this place. However, his movements immediately attracted the attention of the Flame Beasts, causing them to become restless.
"Roar!"
"Roar! Roar!"
One after another, the Flame Beasts stood up and crazily pounced at him.
"..."
Yan Can's face was speechless. His forehead was covered in sweat, and he swallowed his saliva.
"I'm finished."
On the other side, after Chen Xiao killed two rogue cultivators with lightning-like methods, he finally escaped the lava lake after exhausting all his strength.
Pow.
He rushed out of the lake and arrived above the lake, finally breathing fresh air.
The pressure on his body also eased up. Without the scorching heat and the squeezing magma, he was able to remove the protection of the ghost fire and carefully observe his surroundings.
"It's him. He has a black armor and a black flame to protect his body. Catch him."
"Kid, die!"
Just as he relaxed a little, the two cultivators of the Sky Fire Dao Sect noticed him and chased after him.
When Chen Xiao saw this, he sighed in his heart, "He really won't leave. It seems like he's been targeted."
At the same time, he noticed a small detail. One of the Sky Fire Dao Sect cultivators had taken out a jade talisman and crushed it when he was shouting. This was a message.
In other words, it wouldn't be long before more cultivators would come and surround her.
If he couldn't escape in time, once he was surrounded, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"You have to think of a way to escape as soon as possible. Don't stay here and fight."
Xiluo said coldly.
"I know."
Chen Xiao's eyes turned cold. Without a word, he immediately ran out.
Even though he knew that the situation was extremely unfavorable to him, there was no reason for him to just sit and wait for death.
Seeing him run away, the two Sky Fire Dao Sect cultivators immediately chased after him.
"You want to escape? Can you escape? Hand over your things."
One of them shouted.
Chen Xiao snorted and didn't even turn his head.
When the two of them saw this, they immediately became furious, "You refuse to accept a toast and demand a forfeit. Kid, you're courting death."
The two of them suddenly accelerated, activated their mana, and chased after him. Soon, they closed the distance and got closer and closer.
"Be careful, they're chasing us. They don't care about the mana consumption. It seems that the two of them are determined to win."
Xi Luo sneered.
These two cultivators of the Sky Fire Dao Sect were all at the Third Calamity Realm, similar to Chen Xiao. In fact, their auras were a little stronger.
Two against one. No matter how one looked at it, it was the two of them who had the upper hand, which was why they were so fearless.
Naturally, they would not put Chen Xiao in their eyes.
Thinking of this, Chen Xiao sneered, "That's a good opportunity."
"Oh, what method do you have other than running away?" Xi Luo asked curiously.
"Showing the enemy weakness and luring them into the trap," Chen Xiao said coldly.
"Oh? What do you plan to do?"
"You'll know very soon."
As he spoke, Chen Xiao's figure staggered, and his speed dropped. The distance between the two of them was also quickly closed.
When Xi Luo saw this, he understood, "This is too obvious and too fake. I'm afraid these two won't be fooled."
"You'll know when you see it."
Chen Xiao's face was expressionless, and his back was facing the two of them.
