In the direction pointed out by the Shaman Spirit, Grimm encountered a group of Flaming Spirits.
Compared to ordinary Fire Elementals, these humanoid Flaming Spirits possessed basic intelligence and social attributes. They were entrenched on top of a burning black mountain, refusing all creatures from the outside world to get close.
From the looks of it, they seemed to be guarding something!
Grimm stealthily approached the black flaming mountain, silently observing the actions of the Burning Flame Spirits.
These Flaming Spirits were indeed huge. Even the young ones were 3 meters tall. As for the Grade 1 and Grade 2 ones, they were 5-7 meters tall.
From the outside, they looked like a group of humanoid creatures made of bright yellow flames. They had humanoid bodies, arms, and heads, but the parts below their waists were hazy clouds of fire.
After observing for a long time, Grimm could not distinguish their gender. Perhaps these elemental creatures did not have gender at all.
While Grimm was silently observing, most of the young Flaming Spirits hid in the black mountain to play, not leaving it for even a moment. As for the adult Flaming Spirits, they formed patrol teams, constantly patrolling around the black mountain.
Each team was made up of 6 Flaming Spirits. The leader was Grade 2, while the rest were Grade 1.
At the top of the black mountain, there were some holes that looked like beehives, which might be their nest. However, due to the presence of the patrol teams, Grimm could not get too close to the black mountain, so he could not find out what was going on.
All the Fire Elemental Creatures lived in the Fire Elemental Plane. They did not need food, water, and air like humans, but they still needed an endless supply of Fire Elemental energy. To be honest, most of the Fire Elemental Creatures living in the Fire Elemental Plane were extremely violent, and they desperately wanted to grow stronger.
To them, a place where the dense Fire Elemental energy gathered was their home!
Since these Flaming Spirits were using the black mountain as their home, there was either a strong Fire Elemental energy gathering point inside the black mountain, or there were some Fire Elemental items or treasures inside.
Grimm hid around the black mountain for a long time, and finally made up his mind to attack these Flaming Spirits.
Of course, the main reason was that he did not find any Type 3 Flaming Spirits among them, and he urgently needed to accumulate some combat experience. So after hesitating for a long time, Grim finally couldn't help but make his move.
This was a sparse forest at the foot of the black mountain.
Tall, rugged Fire Trees were scattered in an area with a circumference of thirty miles. They had no leaves, no tender branches, and on their thick trunks, there were only sharp thorns that rose straight into the sky. Through the dark red skin, one could vaguely see the red viscous liquid flowing slowly inside. Its shape resembled flowing magma.
The sharp roots of the Fire Tree pierced deep into the soil, desperately absorbing the abundant fire energy from the earth fire.
In this Cinder Tree Forest, a group of Burning Flame Spirits was advancing silently.
There was no day or night in the Fire Elemental Plane, so most fire creatures had no concept of time. As long as it was a mission given by their leader, they would carry it out seriously. Only when more than half of the fire energy in their bodies was consumed would they return to their nest to replenish their energy.
If there was enough fire energy in their bodies, they could even stick to their posts for years.
As for this group of Burning Flame Spirits, their mission was to patrol this Cinder Tree Forest, so they had walked this fixed route tens of thousands of times. They were abnormally familiar with every Cinder Tree and every piece of land along the way.
Their mission was, of course, to expel the low-tier fire elementals that wandered over and guard against the sneak attacks of other fire creatures.
In the Fire Elemental Plane, there were no grudges between fire creatures. The only reason they fought was to snatch each other's fire elemental gathering points. Therefore, the war between the two groups had never stopped!
Today, this group of Burning Flame Spirits once again set foot on this familiar path, silently passing through the eerie Cinder Trees that were baring their fangs and brandishing their claws.
At the front of the group was the Grade 2 Flame Spirit that was leading the group. It was at least 7 meters tall. On its humanoid head, there was a pair of golden flames burning fiercely. When it swayed its body and slowly floated between the Cinder Trees, it could see everything within a radius of one to two miles.
However, when they advanced less than half a mile into the Cinder Tree Forest, a wandering fire elemental half a mile in front of them barged into their alert range.
This was a beginner fire elemental that was only a meter tall and only had the strength of an apprentice. It walked between the Cinder Trees in a daze, as if it had yet to gain sentience.
Of course, if it had really gained sentience, it would not have ignored the warning signs left by the Burning Flame Spirits and barged into the vicinity of the giant black mountain.
Seeing that another little fellow had barged into their forbidden area, the Grade 2 Burning Flame Spirit leading the group waved its arm and ordered impatiently, "Doug, go kill it!"
Upon receiving the order, the Grade 1 Flame Spirit at the end of the group responded. It lowered its body and suddenly sped up, charging towards the ungrateful fire elemental in the distance.
With the difference in strength between the two, a single punch from the Grade 1 Flame Spirit would be enough to destroy the fire core of the other party, causing it to vanish into thin air.
When the Grade 1 Flame Spirit was within a hundred meters of it, the beginner fire elemental seemed to have sensed danger. It actually turned around and ran without saying a word.
"Huh? It actually knows how to run!" The Grade 1 Flame Spirit called Doug could not help but be surprised. The fire cloud in its lower limbs became more and more urgent, and its pursuit speed also increased.
70 meters …
50 meters …
30 meters …
10 meters …
The distance between the two continued to decrease until Doug was completely behind the fire elemental. It raised its huge fist of flames and fiercely smashed it at the blazing fire stone within the body of the beginner fire elemental.
"Be careful …"
The Grade 2 Flame Spirit that had stopped to watch the battle from afar was originally watching indifferently. However, when its subordinates approached the beginner fire elemental, it suddenly felt an abnormal fluctuation of fire elemental energy.
Unfortunately, its warning was too late!
Suddenly, a seven-meter-tall Balrog jumped out from behind a Fire Tree on the side. The moment it appeared, it aimed a killing blow at the Grade 1 Flame Spirit.
A huge lava fist smashed down, instantly turning the head of the Grade 1 Flame Spirit into a ball of scattered flames. Before the Grade 1 Flame Spirit could move its headless body out of the attack range, a lava hand had already pierced through its chest and dug out the fire core within.
To a fire elemental creature, all of its fire energy and consciousness originated from this strange fire core. Once it was destroyed or taken away, the remaining body of fire would become an unrestrained wildfire, instantly dispersing into the air.
"Bastard! Hurry up and hand over Doug's fire core …"
The Burning Flame Spirits in the distance were dumbfounded. Under the lead of the Grade 2 Flame Spirit, they rushed over in a frenzy.
They could clearly see that the terrifying Flame Demon that had killed their companion was also a frightening Grade 2 creature. On their side, they had a Grade 2 captain and four Grade 1 companions. If they really fought against the Flame Demon, they would not be at a disadvantage.
Unfortunately, with their low intelligence, how could they escape the schemes of a Grade 2 Sorcerer?
By the time they reached the terrifying Flame Demon, Grimm had already sealed off their path of retreat.
The battle only lasted for a quarter of an hour before it quickly ended!
Both sides were fire elemental creatures, and all fire damage was greatly reduced. However, relying on their superior numbers, the flame spirits kept attacking the terrifying Flame Demon with fire arrows, flints, and other means. The two lava shields outside its body splashed magma and flames flew everywhere.
The Grade 2 Flame Spirits were even more ferocious. They actually swung their fists at the terrifying Flame Demon.
One had a body of fire, while the other had the body of a Flame Demon. One only had a flame shield, while the other had a lava shield with higher defense. When these two big guys punched each other, the scene of the battle was unprecedentedly fierce and tyrannical.
Seeing that the terrifying Flame Demon had the absolute advantage against the Grade 2 Flame Spirits, Grimm did not hesitate to attack the remaining four Grade 1 Flame Spirits.
Both sides used fire spells, but the Grade 1 Flame Spirits' bodies were not as sturdy as Grimm's lava shield. After two or three exchanges, one of Grimm's lava shields was destroyed, and only one of the four Grade 1 Flame Spirits remained.
The other three were blasted into pieces by the solid lava fireball. Even the core of the flames within their bodies was melted!
Grimm used Flame Leap and appeared behind the remaining Grade 1 Flame Spirit. He stretched out his hand, and a large hand made of pure fire elements grabbed the Flame Spirit firmly.
"Let's go. The Flame Spirits on the mountain seem to have been alerted!"
Grimm turned around and looked into the distance. He saw groups of Flame Elementals rushing down the black mountain at high speed. He snorted and clasped his hands together. The remaining flame spirit was crushed into pieces by his fiery hands.
When the big hand opened again, there was only a fist-sized core of flames left, its surface still burning fiercely.
At this moment, the Flame Demon condensed a 30-meter-long flaming whip from the void and wrapped it around the fleeing Tier 2 Flame Spirit.
