The group continued their journey through the mountainous region in the southern part of the continent. This time, there was an additional NPC with them. This NPC named Kensaso was a man of few words. When he walked with Li Huailin and the others, he kept a distance from them. He did not approach them to strike up a conversation. When he saw Li Huailin killing a monster with a single slash, he did not ask any questions.
Sunset Scenery took the opportunity to brief Li Huailin about the previous mission. Of course, it was not that important, and Li Huailin did not pay much attention to it.
"It's right in front." Sunset Scenery stopped at a spot and pointed to the front. "This is the place where we were first hit by the Fire Devourer Viandric."
Li Huailin walked forward and took a look. There were indeed traces of a battle here. The surrounding area was mountainous, similar to a rainforest in real life. There were more plants here. It was obvious that there was an empty space in this area, as if it had been stepped on by something heavy. Li Huailin looked at the size of the flattened trees. He could tell that the Fire Devourer Viandric was about the size of half a basketball court. It was slightly smaller than Argos, but it was still a huge monster.
"Damn it, we're late. The equipment is gone." Sunset Scenery looked around and sighed. "When we were wiped out, two of us dropped equipment. It should have been here, but it's gone now. I don't think there are any players here. The system must have wiped it out."
"There are no signs of it leaving." Li Huailin looked around. This was the only area where there was an empty space. There were no footprints that could be used to track the other party's movements.
"It can fly," the Summoning Jade Emperor said immediately. "Didn't Sunset say that just now?"
"I know," Li Huailin nodded. "The trees here are taller. It'll be more troublesome to find it."
"This should be its territory," Kensaso suddenly said. Kensaso, who had been silent all this while, suddenly said, "Listen, there are almost no sounds of other beasts around us. I guess they were all scared away by that guy. We should be in its territory now."
"That's not a problem, but the problem is that we have to find it now." Li Huailin said, then turned to Yang Mei next to him and said, "Yang Mei, open up a flame and see if you can lure that guy over."
"Are you talking about the Natal Fire or the ordinary ignition?" Yang Mei asked.
"Ha? What's the difference? "Li Huailin didn't know anything about forging, so he immediately asked. Yang Mei, who was at the water's edge, immediately explained to Li Huailin. After obtaining a Mysterious Flame, the Mysterious Flame's energy would be stored within a player's body. When forging, players could ignite a Mysterious Flame inside the forging furnace to increase their equipment's Attributes. The Lifebound Fire was similar to an equipment tool. In other words, it was proof that a player possessed a flame. Although the item didn't take up a slot in a player's equipment slot, it could still drop upon death. Of course, if the Lifebound Fire dropped, the player couldn't use it again. The person who picked it up would naturally inherit the Mysterious Flame.
By the way, the Mysterious Flame was also a relatively rare item. In a large Guild like Spirit World, only two out of the 200,000 registered members possessed a Mysterious Flame. Yang Mei had only obtained it by chance. Originally, she was just an ordinary logistics member. After obtaining the Mysterious Flame, she was directly promoted. Her treatment had improved significantly. Hence, she placed great importance on this item.
"Can this flame be traded?" Li Huailin asked. "If it can be traded, give it to me directly."
"This cannot be traded," Yang Mei immediately said. "It is directly bound to the player's character. However, there is a chance that it will drop after death." "Damn!
If I had known earlier, I would have brought it over earlier! " Li Huailin didn't ask about it when he arrived. He thought that it was something that Yang Mei could release. He didn't think that it could be given to others. If he had known earlier, it would have been much more convenient for him to obtain it. He wouldn't have needed to make so many preparations.
"I don't think a normal fire will work," Sunset Scenery said. "Because the flame that we protected before was also a Life Flame. I think that the Boss is interested in it as well. However, it doesn't make sense to say that a normal fire will work."
"I think so too," Jade Emperor Summoning said.
"Then just use a Life Flame," Li Huailin said with a nod. "Don't worry. If anything happens, I promise to take responsibility for you."
Of course, Li Huailin knew that Yang Mei was worried. After all, what would happen if the flame dropped? She would suffer a huge loss. However, this was simply a matter of money. If the Fire Devourer Viandric ate the flame, Li Huailin could just pay Yang Mei a large sum of money. He didn't lack money anyway. Li Huailin was the one who was more annoyed. He didn't know where he could find another flame to attract the Fire Devourer Viandric.
Li Huailin's assurance made Yang Mei, who was a little worried, feel a little relieved. She nodded and stretched out her hand. Her body flashed with a blue light, and a flame-like thing appeared in her palm. Although the flame was small, it emitted a bright blue light as if there was an unparalleled power hidden within it.
"Wow, it's so beautiful!" Hongyan, who was drinking water, subconsciously reached out her hand to the flame.
"Hey, hey, aren't you afraid that it'll burn?" Li Huailin quickly pulled her back.
"But brother-in-law, it's not that hot." Hongyan's hand was very close to the flame, but she didn't feel hot at all.
"Is this Celus' Cold Flame?" Kensaso walked up to them in surprise. "I didn't expect you guys to have a flame too."
After saying that, Kensaso looked at the flame in Yang Mei's hand. His eyes were full of infatuation as if he was looking at his lover. It was important to note that Kensaso wasn't looking at Yang Mei, but the flame in her hand.
"It's so beautiful," Kensaso murmured.
"…" Li Huailin couldn't be bothered with such a pervert, so he said, "Everyone, pay attention to the sky and see if there's anything special. It'll be best if we can lure the Fire Devourer out. Let's wait here for a while."
"Okay." Everyone nodded and immediately looked up at the sky. Although the surrounding trees were rather lush, they weren't enough to cover the sky. The view from the sky was still good. However, after waiting for a while, nothing out of the ordinary happened.
"Hey, hey, Sunset, where did the Fire Devourer Viandric come from?" Li Huailin asked.
"I … I'm not too sure," Sunset said awkwardly.
"Not too sure?" Li Huailin asked curiously. "You didn't pay attention?"
"No, actually, we've been paying attention. Didn't the mission say that someone would attack us? Although we didn't know what this Fire Devourer Viandric was, we were always on guard. You should know that this Fire Devourer Viandric sounds like a person. We focused on the ground, but we also paid attention to the sky. However, we didn't notice where it came from. Suddenly, there was a loud 'dong', and it appeared in front of us, "Sunset said.
"Did it fly very high and suddenly land next to you?" Li Huailin asked after some thought.
"Something like that." Sunset nodded.
"It's very high." Li Huailin nodded. "Why don't I go up and take a look? I'll leave a mark on you. Call me if anything happens, and I'll teleport back immediately."
The main target of protection was obviously Yang Mei. Li Huailin left a mark on Yang Mei and prepared to fly up into the sky, which was above the clouds, to check out the situation. They were chatting in a team chat anyway. If it really appeared out of nowhere, Li Huailin would be able to return immediately.
After leaving a mark, Li Huailin was about to take off. However, before he could summon his mount, the Jade Summoning Emperor shouted, "Wait, what's that?"
"Hmm?" Everyone immediately looked in the direction the Jade Summoning Emperor was pointing at. As expected, they saw an inconspicuous dot in the sky. If they did not pay attention, they would not be able to see it at all.
"It's … coming?" Li Huailin asked.
There was no need for Li Huailin to ask any more questions. The other party's speed was extremely fast. It was unbelievably fast. While they were talking, the black dot rapidly grew larger. It was already very close to them.
"Dong!" There was a loud sound. Everyone standing on the ground was shaken so much that they could not stand properly. Li Huailin tried to stabilize his body. After all, Hongyan was drinking water. It was too embarrassing for him to fall all over the place. However, even if he wanted to stabilize his body, a strong wind immediately blew from the side. It was like the shock wave from a bomb explosion. It blew the already unstable Li Huailin away.
Turning his head, he saw that the entire team had been sent flying in all directions. No one was able to remain standing in the same place. Li Huailin's reaction was still very fast. It just so happened that there was a big tree next to him. Li Huailin quickly reached out and grabbed the tree trunk. Finally, he managed to stabilize his body.
Looking at the place where the big explosion happened before, there was a little smoke at this time. However, Li Huailin still saw a huge black shadow slowly emerging behind the smoke. Yes, the ancient behemoth they were looking for had finally appeared.
However, when the smoke slowly dissipated, Li Huailin could not help but shout when he saw the appearance of the other party, "F * ck … frog?"
