How … how could this be!
Duanmu Rongqiang didn't expect this to happen. He thought that Xiahou Xuan would finish off the pangolin with his hammer and rush forward to snatch the inner core. In fact, the most important thing on a Divine Emperor was the inner core. The other parts weren't that valuable.
This was because the inner core could be used to refine elixirs and help in breaking through to the Divine Emperor Realm. The other parts were used as supplementary materials or to make scales.
"How about it? Do you need me to do it?"
Du Feng looked at Xiahou Xuan's miserable state and held back his laughter. He asked if he needed to do it himself. What he meant was that if they couldn't handle it, they shouldn't interfere. Of course, if they didn't interfere, they wouldn't have the right to split the loot. He dared to say this because his body had already recovered to about eighty percent. He wasn't afraid of fighting anymore.
"No need. I have my ways!"
Duanmu Rongqiang was a prideful person. How could he admit defeat so easily? If he gave up now, wouldn't it mean that he couldn't handle it? Since the hammer didn't work, he could use fire. He heard that when wild beasts hunted pangolin, they would blow hot air into its body. When it couldn't take it anymore, it would automatically open its body.
"Brother Yan, you do it."
He pondered for a moment and decided to let Xiahou Yan do it. Because Xiahou Yan was proficient in fire-elemental cultivation techniques, he could definitely subdue the pangolin. He might even burn it to death in the process.
Xiahou Xuan was slightly displeased that Duanmu Rongqiang didn't do it himself and let his cousin do it instead. However, he was seriously injured and couldn't say much. Using fire to burn the curled up pangolin shouldn't be too dangerous. At a certain distance, he wouldn't be whipped by its tail.
He couldn't think of any other way, so he watched Xiahou Yan do it. Xiahou Yan was indeed a fire-elemental cultivation technique practitioner. He spat out two balls of fire from his palms and started to roast the pangolin.
"Brother Du, are you going to do it later?"
Chen Tianlei couldn't stay idle anymore. He asked Du Feng, "If the pangolin spreads its claws, should I or you snatch it?"
"Don't rush. Take your time. Oh, right. Stay away. "
In the end, Du Feng did something unbelievable. Not only did he not try to snatch the inner core, but he also took a step back. Not only did he retreat, but Chen Tianlei also retreated.
Aiya, what noble character and unquestionable integrity. Seeing Du Feng and Chen Tianlei retreating, Duanmu Rongqiang felt that it was a little unbelievable. What's wrong with these two? Do they really not want the pangolin's inner core anymore? He still felt that he couldn't beat us, so he took the initiative to quit. They would probably just follow behind and pick up the leftovers. That would be enough.
"Hmm, I think they have some self-awareness."
Duanmu Ronghao also noticed that Du Feng and Chen Tianlei were retreating and felt that they must be afraid. Because the flames that Xiahou Yan spat out were indeed very powerful. The temperature was terrifyingly high. Those without a certain level of foundation would not dare to stand too close. The people from the Sacred City only dared to stand so close because they had a good foundation. The advantage of standing close was naturally that they could snatch the good stuff earlier.
At first, Xiahou Yan was a little unconfident. After all, Xiahou Xuanzhong was already injured. But after burning for a while, he became more and more confident. Because the pangolin's scales were very thick, the fire couldn't burn through at first. But after burning for a long time, it began to feel uncomfortable.
The heat penetrated through the scales, causing its body to writhe. Obviously, it couldn't hold on any longer. As long as the pangolin couldn't hold on any longer and spread its body, Duanmu Rongqiang would definitely be the first to rush up and dig out its dantian to take out the inner core.
At this moment, Du Feng secretly said something to Chen Tianlei, and the two of them actually continued to retreat. Are they completely giving up?
Seeing that the pangolin was about to move, everyone became nervous. Only Lady Ah Zi couldn't bear to see the pangolin suffer. Therefore, she decided not to go forward and join in the fun. She also didn't want to go up and snatch things, so she retreated to the back. He felt that Du Feng was a good person. Perhaps he could discuss with him. It would be better if they didn't start a conflict.
"Bang!"
Just when Lady Ah Zi was about to speak, there was a sudden explosion. She was so scared that she staggered and fell forward.
"Young lady, be careful!"
Du Feng reached out to help her, but it was only for a moment. But at this moment, something big happened. The scales on the pangolin's body shot out like a hail. It couldn't stand being burned for too long, so it decided to die together with everyone.
A large number of scales burst out. Duanmu Rongqiang and Duanmu Ronghao, who were closest to it, were the first to be hit. They were stunned by this wave of scales. Duanmu Rongqiang had a certain level of strength. He immediately put up a protective shield to block a certain number of scales.
Don't forget that those were scales shot out by a pseudo-divine beast at the Divine Emperor Realm. The power of each scale was equivalent to the level of a low-grade Divine Emperor Weapon. After taking more than a dozen hits, his protective shield finally collapsed. Once the protective shield collapsed, his body was immediately attacked by a large number of pangolin scales. One by one, the hard and sharp pangolin scales pierced into his body.
"Pfft! Pfft! "
It was like dozens of knives stabbing people. All of them were the sounds of sharp weapons piercing into flesh. Even Duanmu Rongqiang, who was supporting Hu Chaode, was seriously injured. As for his brother, Duanmu Ronghao, because he didn't have time to react, his body was pierced by those scales. And unfortunately, one of the scales cut his neck and cut off his head.
As for Xiahou Yan, who was responsible for setting the fire, he was also in a bad state. Because he had been setting the fire, he didn't have time to defend himself. Not only was his body pierced by the scales, but even his legs were cut off. The only thing to be thankful for was that he subconsciously covered his head to defend himself, so he was able to keep his head.
Xiahou Xuan Zhong wasn't in a bad state because he was injured before. He was sitting on the ground and leaning against a tree, far away from the fire. So at this time, he only had a few cuts, so he wasn't in a bad state. However, because he was already seriously injured before, these few cuts could be considered as adding on to his previous injuries.
In short, among the five people from the Sacred City, Zi was the only one who wasn't injured. But the problem was that among the five of them, she was the weakest. If Du Feng and Chen Tianlei were to turn against each other, they could really be killed in minutes. And in a place like the Imperial Beast Forest, killing people would definitely destroy their souls. Even if they were disciples of the Sacred City, there was no way to resurrect them.
"Don't hurt them!"
