Lin Fan wiped the sweat off his forehead silently. Wasn't this world way too dangerous? This forbidden ground was such a scam! Why were there still so many people coming here to explore?
Ceng Hailong roared.
'Urgh …!'
Suddenly, Ceng Hailong's body was engulfed in flames. Those red flames turned black in an instant, as though they were the flames of hell.
'Holy f * ck! Could it be that he's going to become a Fire Superman?' Lin Fan stared at everything with his mouth agape. This was simply unimaginable.
But things weren't over yet. Something seemed to be trying to break out of Ceng Hailong's body, and popping sounds could be heard.
His back bulged up, and a pair of bone wings that were burning with black flames burst out of his back.
His scalp then flipped outwards, and a horrifying skull popped out.
...
Gradually, Lin Fan's jaw dropped.
A flaming giant with sharp bone wings had appeared.
'ROAR …!'
A roar that was filled with boundless rage rang out. Within the black flames, it was as though there was a vengeful ghost howling.
Lesser celestial middle level.
Lin Fan was stumped as well. Wasn't this jump a little too much? From pericelestial full cultivation to lesser celestial middle level in the blink of an eye?
Lin Fan could not help but pity Ceng Hailong. Why did he have to pop pills for no reason?
Look, now there's a problem with taking the pills. What should I do?
However, Lin Fan did not intend to kill Ceng Hailong who had turned into a flaming giant. He wanted to follow behind and see where this guy was headed to.
At this moment, the flame giant started walking. That massive body of his covered a distance of tens of feet with every single step he took. As for the footprints he left on the ground, they were still burning with black flames.
Lin Fan followed behind. Looking at the flames on the footprints, he wanted to see just how strong they were.
Even though this flaming giant was only a lesser celestial middle level, Lin Fan could tell that there was something special about the flames it was carrying.
When Lin Fan's hand touched the flame, the system's voice sounded.
'Ding … congratulations 《Eternal Demon Body》 experience + 10,000.'
...
"It's nothing much." Lin Fan was slightly disappointed. He had thought that this flame would be very strong, but it only gave him 10,000 EXP. It was a pitiful amount.
"Bzzz …!"
At this moment, the Flame Giant suddenly stopped moving. It turned its ferocious face and looked at the footprints it left behind. Then, it roared.
Lin Fan waved his hands. There was a foul stench coming out from the roar of the flame giant. Even though it paled in comparison to Yao Wuxie's stench, it was still pretty disgusting. Lin Fan waved his hands.
"ROAR …!"
Flames danced in the flame giant's hollow eyes, as if it had discovered something. However, it couldn't see Lin Fan's figure.
After roaring a few times, the flame giant turned around and continued forward.
Lin Fan followed behind. However, he did not touch the flames. Perhaps to the flame giant, these flames on the ground were like its eyes. As long as someone touched them, they would be able to sense it.
Lin Fan had been following behind the flame giant for quite some time now. As for the flame giant, it continued to move forward.
Along the way, Lin Fan saw quite a number of people. However, the flame giant's body was extremely huge, and its aura was extremely strong. None of them dared to fight it head on, and chose to hide instead.
But something even more shocking happened to Lin Fan. It was as if the flame giant had a mind of its own. From a certain place, it took out a treasure chest.
The treasure chest shone brightly, and looked extraordinary. Lin Fan was shocked. Could it be that this flame giant was trying to attract the disciples of the other sects with its treasures?
Hidden in the dark, the disciples of Xianling Sect, Tongtian Sect and Heaven Bodhi Sect had gathered together.
They had lost quite a number of their brothers. Some of them had not been found, but they were probably dead.
Ever since they came down, they had not come across any treasures. Not even a single strand of hair.
To them, the sects might have made a mistake this time around. After all, they had been to forbidden grounds before. But in those forbidden grounds, the treasures were easily obtainable, and not as difficult as this.
"Senior Brother Yang, look at the treasure chest in the flame giant's hands!" A disciple's eyes were filled with joy.
"There must be treasures within that chest!"
"That's right! This Dead Demon Seas is a little strange. There's no treasure to be found at all. I'm sure all the treasures must be within that chest!"
"Lesser celestial middle level. As long as we work together well, there shouldn't be any problems."
"Alright! Once we've formed the reverse formation, you guys take the chance to kill it. Once we get the treasures, we'll split them evenly!"
"Let's go!"
...
Just as Lin Fan was about to kill the flame giant, something happened in front of him.
"Formation!"
"Kill …!"
Just then, the disciples of the three sects appeared and surrounded the flame giant.
Lin Fan looked at the situation before him. Even though the flame giant was only a lesser celestial middle level, it didn't bode well for him. After all, the disciples of the three sects were not lacking in powerful beings.
But just at this moment, something weird happened. This was something that had Lin Fan in disbelief.
The flame giant suddenly threw the treasure chest above the disciples of the three sects.
Some of the disciples leaped up, caught the chest, and opened it eagerly.
Suddenly, a black light shone from within the chest.
"Urgh, urgh …!"
"Senior Brother …!"
"Junior Brother …!"
A series of tragic cries rang out.
Lin Fan was dumbfounded. How could this be?!
The moment the treasure chest was opened, the ray of black light instantly split into countless rays of black light. Then, like sharp swords, they pierced through all the disciples of the sects.
Some pierced through the top of their heads, pinning their bodies to the ground. Some were sliced in half by the black beams, causing blood and flesh to spurt out. It was a tragic sight.
Other than a few who had a higher cultivation base and managed to dodge, none of them were spared.
It was as though there was some sort of suction force on the ground, sucking the blood into the ground. The corpses dried up and eventually turned into dried corpses.
Looking at the state of the corpses, Lin Fan's heart skipped a beat.
This was a familiar scene. It seemed to be what happened at Tuodi Shrine.
"Evil spirits?"
At this moment, Lin Fan's face froze up. He stopped enjoying the show. If that were really the case, then things were not looking good for him.
Could it be that the black beam was not a sign of the birth of a treasure? Instead, it was a sign created by someone hidden within the Dead Demon Seas to attract people?
Thinking back, the entrance was guarded by the sects, preventing vagrant cultivators from entering. Coincidentally, there were many cracks on the ground, allowing vagrant cultivators a chance to enter.
Could all of this have been premeditated?
Those disciples who were lucky enough to dodge were panicking. "Run!"
However, in that instant, the Flame Giant, who wasn't moving too quickly, disappeared into the void.
When it appeared, its sharp and long fingernails pierced through a disciple, and then picked him up with its fingernails.
"Pfft, pfft …!"
The few disciples who were running for their lives all died in the hands of the flame giant.
The Flame Giant stood there, and a smile seemed to appear on its terrifying face. Then, it raised its finger and swallowed the corpses that had been pierced by its fingernails.
"So strong …!"
Lin Fan's heart was thumping furiously. The strength of this flame giant was definitely higher than a lesser celestial middle level.
After swallowing the bodies, the flame giant closed the chest and continued moving forward. To those who did not know what was going on, this flame giant was just a moving treasure chest.
But in Lin Fan's eyes, this Flame Giant was just a walking Grim Reaper!
