It was still rainy and it was impossible to tell the direction.
Ye Chen also asked Zhuo Ya how to find the direction in this boundless forest.
But Zhuo Ya saw his thoughts immediately. Instead of telling him the method, she said seriously: "Don't try to find the direction. After all, with your strength, even if I tell you how to identify the direction, you
The chance of returning to the Southern Territory alive is very slim!"
"So, you should stay with us honestly. When we hunt the Huo Lingxi, we will take you back immediately!"
Helpless, Ye Chen had no choice but to give up.
Although he could force it, after all, the other party had good intentions and he did not want to use force unless necessary.
Furthermore, he also wanted to take the opportunity to find a fire-like beast elixir and visit the powerful Dongfang family. Maybe he could find the method of refining the Emperor's elixir from the other family's library.
Of course, it would be best if you could exchange a Fire Spirit Beast Pill for a finished Emperor Pill.
Huang Tian paid off, and with the persistence of the Black Scale Mercenary Group, two days later, traces of Huo Lingxi were finally found in a canyon.
"According to the footprints and the residual aura, this is indeed a fire spirit, and it must be nearby!"
The leader of the group, Zhuo Ya, was extremely excited, "Everyone, prepare immediately and be ready to hunt the Fire Lingxi at any time!"
"yes!"
The mercenaries responded and immediately sped up to chase in the direction of the footprints.
But everyone is careful and extremely cautious.
Even the group leader Zhuo Ya's expression became extremely solemn.
Because Huo Lingxi is a quasi-holy monster, its footprints are as big as a millstone. The place where it was stepped on is deep into the ground, and the surrounding area is scorched black.
If they encounter such a monster, if they are not careful, not only will they not be able to hunt it down, they may also suffer heavy casualties.
Only Ye Chen, who was following the crowd, never took it seriously.
Because what he hasn’t said yet is that before going deep into the wild forest, he once killed a monster with a higher level than the Fire Lingxi, the Armor-Piercing Fire Dragon!
The Armor-Piercing Fire Dragon, like the Fire Lingxi, is also a fire-attribute monster.
However, the armor-piercing fire dragon is a holy-level monster!
He could easily kill this kind of holy beast at the beginning, but he didn't even pay attention to a mere quasi-holy fire spirit.
"Ouch!"
Not long after everyone moved forward, a high-pitched beast roar suddenly came, shaking the mountains and deafening.
"It's the cry of fire spirit!"
"Found it, we finally found it, just a dozen miles ahead!"
"Don't get excited, everyone. Listening to this voice, it should be an adult Huo Lingxi, whose strength should not be underestimated!"
While everyone was excited, they also became more cautious.
The leader of the group, Zhuo Ya, immediately started to order everyone to make various preparations according to the discussed plan.
In Ye Chen's opinion, the so-called plan was extremely crude.
He actually wanted to use iron hooks to hook Huo Lingxi from all directions, and then Zhuo Ya, a quasi-saint-level warrior, killed Huo Lingxi before he could break free from the iron hook!
This plan is tantamount to pulling out a tooth from a tiger's mouth and seeking death!
You must know that Huo Lingxi's body is huge, infinitely powerful, and his defense is extremely strong. Whether Zhuo Ya can kill it is still unknown.
The rest of the Black Scale Mercenary Group actually tried to restrain him with a simple iron hook. It was a big joke!
Although he knew that the other party's plan could not succeed, Ye Chen did not intend to remind him.
Because, he had no intention of giving the other party a chance to take action.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
After traveling forward for more than ten miles, everyone saw a huge creature in a valley.
It was a huge rhinoceros with a dark red body and extremely rough skin.
Its limbs were as thick as giant pillars, and its eyes were dimly glowing with fire. Wherever it passed, all the surrounding plants were withered.
The place where the four feet stepped down turned into a mass of charred footprints.
Especially the body, which is four meters high, is like a moving mountain.
"Haha, it's really an eye-opener for God. It seems that our persistence was right. We finally found Shihuo Lingxi!"
Seeing Huo Lingxi foraging for food in the valley, Zhuo Ya was extremely excited.
But before she could start to give orders for action, an extremely discordant voice suddenly came from not far away.
"We discovered the Fire Lingxi first, you'd better not act rashly!"
As soon as the voice came out, everyone in the Black Scale Mercenary Group who was lurking at this moment immediately became vigilant.
"who?"
"Sneaky, get out!"
"Why does Huo Lingxi belong to you?"
Before he could see clearly who was speaking, the people from the Black Scale Mercenary Group shouted angrily.
However, when they saw the people walking out from the shade of the trees, their arrogance and domineering all faded away.
"Oh, the Black Scale Mercenary Group is so majestic!"
Sound appears with everyone!
A few hundred meters away, under the shade of a tree, a group of people slowly walked out.
The leader was a middle-aged man with a stubble on his face, a burly figure, and a bloodthirsty glare in his eyes.
In addition, there are three animal claw scars on the left side of his face, making him look even more sinister.
"Yanbai?"
Zhuo Ya also frowned, "How come your violent mercenary group is here?"
"What? This wild forest allows you, the Black Scale Mercenary Group, to enter, but our violent mercenary group cannot enter?"
The middle-aged man walked over step by step with a scimitar in hand. He looked at the Black Scale Mercenary Group with eyes full of disdain and teasing.
"We are chasing that fire spirit!"
Seemingly knowing that the violent mercenary group was not to be trifled with, Zhuo Ya immediately made her purpose clear.
However……
"What a coincidence, we are also tracking this fire spirit!"
Yan Bai straightened his face and said word by word: "Moreover, we are determined to win!"
Zhuo Ya's expression froze, and a deep reluctance flashed in her eyes.
But after careful consideration, she forced herself to smile and said, "Since it was Commander Yan who saw it first, naturally you will hunt it first. If you miss, we will take action again without delay!"
"Captain Zhuo, you take your Black Scale Mercenary Group too seriously!"
Yan Bai mocked without any modification: "Our violent mercenary group has three quasi-holy warriors. If we can't take down this fire spirit, why do you, the black scale mercenary group, want to get involved?"
"this……"
Zhuo Ya was speechless for a moment.
However, she had to admit that what Yan Bai said was true.
The violent mercenary group, including its leader Yan Bai, has a total of three quasi-holy warriors.
As for their black scale mercenary group, except for her, a warrior who had just entered the early stage of the quasi-sage, the rest of them were all below the level of the quasi-sage.
In this case, if the violent mercenary group fails, they will have no hope.
"Get out of here quickly, don't be an eyesore here. If it affects our plan to hunt down the Fire Spirit and makes us miss the Dongfang Family's huge bounty, your Black Scale Mercenary Group won't be able to afford the compensation even if you work hard all your life!"
Yan Bai didn't seem to want to say more. He waved his scimitar, his tone full of irresistible domineering.
