At the foot of Huochi Mountain, there was no grass growing, and scorching heat was emanating from it. Xiang Shang initially sensed that it had reached more than sixty degrees.
In a place like this, the exposed rocks radiate heat from the volcano, making it so hot that if you crack an egg and put it on it, it will be cooked in just a few minutes.
From a distance, Xiang Shang and others looked from the foot of the mountain and could already see several flame beasts lying there lazily, looking lazy and leisurely. There were also a few that lowered their heads from time to time and moved.
He opened the rock ashes and swallowed pieces of fiery red crystal stones into his belly.
Flame beasts originally made a living by devouring wind and fire crystals. Therefore, although the major families in Fenghuo City have not come to collect wind and fire crystals for a year, there are not many wind and fire crystals scattered everywhere.
Similarly, this is also the reason why the military will join forces with various families to wipe out the flame beasts.
"Get ready to fight, be careful. Even though there are not many flame beasts around, in fact there are more and stronger flame beasts inside the crater, so don't get close to the crater unless necessary."
Xue Wenrong said solemnly.
Xue Wenxin nodded to express her understanding, and Xiang Shang also nodded silently without speaking.
However, one of the four Xue family members said, "Of course we don't have a problem, there are just some people. Don't be scared to death later."
"Third brother, you have to be considerate. After all, this is your first time facing a flame beast. It's normal to have some overreactions." Another young man on the side answered.
"Shut up, you are looking down on people. Apologize to Mr. Zhao quickly." Xue Wenrong's expression changed and he gave them both a stern look.
"Mr. Zhao, I'm really sorry. My discipline was lax and I made you laugh." As he said that, he looked at Xiang Shang with an apologetic look.
"Why should I apologize?"
"We were right again."
The two of them were suddenly scolded, with unconvinced expressions on their faces.
"Either apologize or stop the monthly payment, all the welfare benefits of the Xue family will no longer be available to you." Xue Wenrong said coldly. He really hated the fact that iron cannot be made into steel. With Xiang Shang's identity, it was too late for them to flatter him. Unexpectedly,
But he was offended by his own nephew.
Thinking of this, he felt secretly resentful in his heart. Originally, he was thinking about how to find an opportunity to win over Xiang Shang, but now it seems that it would be good if he can make him not hold grudges.
Both of their faces turned pale in an instant. The most important thing for warriors to practice is resources. Once the monthly payment is stopped, their lives and practice will fall into a long-term stagnation.
As a last resort, they could only apologize to Xiang Shang with humiliation on their faces.
Xue Wen, who was on the side, endured it and still did not speak.
He was quite critical of the way the family leader, Xue Wenrong, favored Xiang Shang. After all, Xiang Shang was just an outsider, and he didn't show anything strange. In his opinion, it was really not worth the fuss and punishment.
His own children.
"Since your head has said so, I don't care." Xiang Shang glanced at the two of them and said calmly.
Hearing this, the two people's chests felt tight and their hearts were about to explode. However, they did not dare to refute because their master was nearby.
But in my heart, I also made up my mind that when the real battle comes, I must make him look good.
"The two flame beasts in the middle stage of the Awakening Realm, Xiao San and Xiao Liu, are left to you. Let's fight quickly." After going up to Huochi Mountain, the two flame beasts were quickly alarmed, and Xue Wenrong immediately ordered.
There are just two awakening flame beasts, so naturally there is no need for all of them to take action.
Xiaosan and Xiaoliu were the two people who had just mocked Xiang Shang. After hearing this, they immediately rushed towards the two flame beasts.
They are all outstanding members of the younger generation of the Xue family. They all have the martial arts strength of the seventh or eighth level of Qigong. They are not weak. In addition, they may have often fought with flame beasts and know how to deal with them. They will soon be able to
The battle is over.
Immediately afterwards, the two of them moved quickly and stabbed their swords into the heads of the two awakening flame beasts. With a slight push, they immediately took out two fiery red crystals from their heads.
"Fire beasts eat wind and fire crystals for a living. Most of the wind and fire crystals will be consumed with their digestive systems, but there are also some strange substances that will be absorbed by them and finally gather in their minds to form this kind of feeling.
A crystal like a demon pill. It contains abundant and pure fire-attribute energy, which can be directly absorbed by warriors and is of high value."
Xue Wenrong explained to Xiang Shang.
"How can a flame beast that is not in the psychic realm be able to form a demon pill?" Xiang Shang looked at the flame beast strangely.
"That's right, even a flame beast in the psychic realm will form this red crystal in its mind and will not produce another demon pill. And this is the most peculiar thing about the flame beast." Xue Wenrong said with a smile.
Xiang Shang nodded silently.
The battle between Xiaosan and Xiaoliu with the flame beast seemed to have attracted the attention of other flame beasts in the distance. Soon, seven or eight more flame beasts were attracted and rushed towards this side from the top of Huochi Mountain.
These flame beasts are all above the awakening level. As soon as they get close, a series of flames shoot out from their mouths. A large flame covers dozens of meters around, like a sea of fire, making it difficult to dodge.
.
When Xiao San and Xiao Liu saw this, they looked at each other, a hint of smile flashed in their eyes, and then they dodged aside. But behind them, Xiang Shang happened to be standing there.
The two of them were secretly proud of themselves. The flames sprayed by several flame beasts were extremely fast. However, they could feel that when they dodged, Xiang Shang had not yet started to move, as if he was frightened.
When the flames come, Xiang Shang will definitely be embarrassed. As long as they think of him making a fool of themselves, they are secretly happy.
Therefore, as soon as they stood firm, they impatiently set their sights on Xiang Shang. However, Xue Wenrong, who was standing next to Xiang Shang, took the first step and slashed out with a knife. The sea of fire that came towards them was like
It was cut in half by him and scattered to both sides.
But Xiang Shang, who was behind the sword light, was not affected by the flames at all. Only some heat waves hit, blowing his clothes.
Immediately afterwards, Xue Wenrong rushed forward quickly and directly entered the flame beast. As the sword flashed, he could only hear the howl of the flame beast. Each flame beast was quickly beheaded by him.
Under normal circumstances, warriors in the Houtian realm are much more powerful than ferocious beasts in the Awakening realm. Xue Wenrong's martial arts strength at the sixth level of the Houtian realm makes it easy to kill these flame beasts that are only in the middle and late stages of the Awakening realm.
Xiaosan and Xiaoliu looked disappointed when they saw this.
Originally, I wanted to see Xiang Shang make a fool of himself, but I didn't expect that the head of the family made a cross move and directly helped him avoid this crisis.
