Where does that wicked woman get her conscience?

Chapter 128 Emergency Situation

Upon hearing this, Chi Rong was also suddenly filled with shock. It immediately peered toward the mummified corpse and searched carefully.

Then, turning his head in disbelief, he exclaimed, "Master, there really is no beast core!"

Someone beat us to it!

The same doubt filled Shangguan Xun's mind. She frowned. Who else could find this place?

This mummified corpse appears to have been here for a long time, so it's not impossible that someone discovered it.

Judging from the upper barrier, there were no signs of it being broken.

Therefore, when the person came to retrieve the beast core, the Black Sea should not have been here, but rather at the location it had moved to last time.

At the very least, it was three million years ago.

While the beast core of a divine beast is indeed a treasure, its physical body is in no way inferior, not to mention the ancient Fiery Phoenix, which possesses the Undying Flame and is renowned among the divine beasts. The person who took the beast core was actually willing to abandon it!

That's really a bit unbelievable.

"Sigh..." Chi Rong sighed heavily. Unlike its master, to it, whether it was a demon beast or a divine beast, only the beast core was a treasure.

Guan Xun also felt a little regretful, but she quickly adjusted herself. This time it wasn't a loss. She walked closer to the weak flame and then squatted down.

Since the original body is dead, the immortal flames surrounding it should be ownerless and without consciousness.

However, this cluster of flames faintly revealed its own consciousness, though it was not strong.

Remembering the spirit beasts that Xiaoyu had mentioned earlier, she found it quite interesting, so she turned her gaze upwards and whispered, "Is this thing in the process of becoming a spirit beast?"

"Hmm," Xiaoyu said calmly.

Upon receiving affirmation, Guan Xun smiled and turned his head, his fingertips also carrying flames as he approached it, only to have them arrogantly devoured.

Wow, what an arrogant thing.

It swayed a few times as if it hadn't had enough, its orange-red flame tail tip tilting slightly backward, as if looking up at her.

"Master, be careful."

A voice suddenly rang out above her head, followed by a thick, long tail positioned between them.

The flames were clearly unhappy that their view was blocked.

The few flames it had just devoured seemed to give it some energy; after a few flickers, it slowly darted upwards.

It seemed to be confirming something.

After only two breaths, it suddenly deflated as if all its energy had been exhausted, becoming even weaker than before, looking as if it would go out at any moment.

Seeing this, Guan Xun remained indifferent.

This is the Undying Flame. As the name suggests, it will not be extinguished even if it is very faint or too faint to be seen with the naked eye.

She composed herself slightly and stood up.

The remains of the ancient Fiery Phoenix can be stored in a storage ring and taken away, but this Undying Flame... is even more domineering than the Crimson Flame of the Crimson Fusion. If it were to be devoured, it would definitely take quite a while.

Time is of the essence, and there is no time to waste.

But we can't give up on this immortal flame because of that...

Just as Guan Xun was racking his brains for a solution, a series of soft, popping sounds broke the silence of the space.

She was slightly startled and looked closely.

The flames, which had been so faint just moments before, suddenly surged up, rapidly coalesced, and twisted into threads the size of silk.

In the blink of an eye, it left the stone surface without permission and flew towards the dried corpse behind it. With lightning speed, it slipped into the tip of its wing!

The flame entity vanished into the air, its location only confirmed by the red light emanating from the crystal.

At this moment, Chi Rong was extremely vigilant. It stood protectively beside its master, staring intently at the red light, not daring to relax its guard for even a moment.

The red light traveled along the bone structure at an extreme speed, covering the entire skeleton. In less than two breaths, it returned to its original position, the wingtips.

It flickered slightly, as if it was brewing something.

With sharp, piercing eyes, Chi Rong raised his head, ready to attack.

Guan Xun also slightly tiptoed and narrowed his eyes.

It's only just developed a little consciousness, and it's already so mischievous. If it were to become a spirit beast, who knows what kind of trouble it would cause.

The red light flickered from bright to weak, and then quickly subsided completely, until even the red dot could no longer be seen, as if the immortal flame had extinguished itself.

Before Guan Xun could even feel a surge of surprise and doubt, the extremely faint sound of something hard cracking suddenly reached her ears.

The wing tip broke off.

A droplet of blood, the size of a water droplet, suddenly flew out from it and shot straight toward Guan Xun!

It moved so fast that the air it passed through seemed to be torn apart, with not only a slight pause but also a faint red glow.

Guan Xun's gaze suddenly sharpened, and he immediately took a step back.

Chi Rong reacted quickly; the blood droplets were smaller than its scales, and a flick of its tail was enough to block them.

But the blood droplet seemed to have eyes, moving up, down, left, and right, twisting out a very strange path, and actually dodged the giant tail's obstruction, flying past it by a mere half-inch.

Chi Rong was shocked and immediately followed!

Guan Xun frowned, raised his hand and swept it in front of him. White spiritual energy instantly surged from his palm and spread into the air.

Click, click...

The chilling spiritual energy suddenly condensed into a defensive barrier.

This blood bead was formed from the condensation of immortal fire, so using fire-attribute spiritual power to deal with it will definitely not work. I wonder how ice-attribute power will fare against it...

The blood droplet struck the barrier violently, but instead of scattering, it suddenly ignited scorching flames around it, enveloping itself layer by layer while melting away the blocking spiritual energy barrier at a visible speed!

hiss!

As expected of something even more domineering than Crimson Fire, spiritual power had absolutely no effect on it.

"Red Fusion!" Guan Xun's pupils contracted slightly, and he quickly retreated.

For now, only Chi Rong can deal with it.

Bang! ! !

As the giant tail crashed down, the rock layer instantly shattered into countless small stones, which flew out and disappeared into the Black Sea.

The massive body of Chi Rong flashed to the flaming blood bead, and raging crimson flames rose up all around, forming a huge wall of fire.

At the same time, crimson flames spewed from his mouth, wildly shooting towards the blood droplet!

The blood droplet trembled slightly, as if it were somewhat shocked.

When it was weak, it was good to have fire to devour, but now, faced with such a huge amount of fire energy, it was willing but unable to do so.

If it were just spiritual energy flames, that would be fine, but it's a divine beast's crimson fire of equal value...

The blood droplets receded slightly and began to circle around, skillfully dodging the fire's attacks.

Chi Rong was furious that a mere Undying Flame dared to toy with it like that.

Its crystalline pupils suddenly widened, and it roared, unleashing even more intense crimson flames that swept across the entire space in front of it.

The flames around the blood bead trembled incessantly, and just as the crimson fire rushed towards it, it suddenly turned around and flew back.

Is it... that it's scared and running away?

Chi Rong snorted coldly.

But just then, the blood droplet that was about to retreat back to the mummified corpse suddenly made a sharp turn and circled back from behind the high rock that the Crimson Fire had not touched!

Using the cracks in the rocks as a passage, they passed through the wall of fire and crawled through!

Chi Rong was greatly alarmed and secretly cried out in alarm.

As they turned around, they saw their master make his move.

Guan Xun's longsword blocked his way, its blade slightly bent under the weight of the blood droplets.

Its immortal flames burned fiercely, scorching a large hole in the sword's blade, from which flames rapidly spread outwards!

A look of horror flashed in Guan Xun's eyes. How did this thing target her?!

Does she think she's easy to bully here?

She suddenly released her grip, and the longsword was instantly burned to ashes.

At that very moment, the blood droplet exploded in front of her eyes!

A cloud of blood filled the air and suddenly rushed towards her!

Guan Xun instinctively tried to dodge, but the blood mist seemed to have legs, following her no matter where she retreated.

Moreover, it had already blended into the air, so even if she dodged, the blood mist could still enter her body with her breath.

Guan Xun's face instantly turned as black as ink.
