After the sun set and they resumed their journey, Du Feng became much more careful. He summoned a few specters and sent them out in all directions to scout the way. It was not possible to just scout ahead. If the red zombie chased after them from behind, they might not even be able to escape. In any case, they could only move at night. During the day, the temperature on the ground was too high for ghosts to survive. The red light reflected from the sand had a strong restraining effect on ghosts.
Caution is the parent of safety. Ever since Du Feng had obtained the White Bone Banner, he had not been this careful. He had evaluated his own combat strength and found that it was even stronger than the old man at the ninth level of the Heaven Seizing Realm. Of course, this was a competition of ordinary martial artists without the inheritance of large families.
If it was a disciple of an aristocratic family, Du Feng would not be afraid of them if they were below the sixth level of the Heaven Seizing Realm. However, if he were to compete with the geniuses of the Seven Basaltic Mansions, he would not dare to be so arrogant. After all, he was not the only genius. Even Mu Nianzhi, who used the Withered Vine Palm, was much stronger than the martial artists outside. Those old students who practiced the Mourning Gate Sword and even the Purple Lightning Sword were all very fierce.
It was precisely because of this that Du Feng was in a hurry to complete the mission and get more points to exchange for the Crape Myrtle Grass. With the Crape Myrtle Grass, he could refine a large number of Heaven Essence Pills. Once he mastered the Heaven Essence Palm, his combat strength would be able to rise to a new level.
"Stop!"
As they walked, Du Feng suddenly told Long Yichen to stop.
"What's wrong, Brother Du, did that thing appear again?"
Long Yichen did not know what was going on and asked curiously.
The spirits that Du Feng sent out did not find the red zombie. However, a large number of corpses appeared along the way, including the corpses of demonic beasts and human martial artists. At this moment, a large number of ants were crawling onto the corpses and gnawing on their flesh and blood. If he was not mistaken, one of the corpses should belong to Sun Zhangwei.
He probably wanted to go to the Meteorite Forest and found some new martial artists to form a team. Then, they encountered a group of demonic beasts. In the process of fighting, the red zombie chased after them. Once the Red Zombie appeared, the fight between human martial artists and Monstrous Beasts would become a trivial matter. This was because it did not differentiate between humans and Monstrous Beasts.
The other corpses were quickly devoured by the dark red ants, leaving only white bones. However, one of the corpses caught Du Feng's attention. Even if it fell to the ground, it would still be taller than a house. He had to pay attention to it. That was because it was the corpse of the Scarlet Flame Tiger leader. Even it had been killed by Red Zombie.
Last time, Long Yichen's self-destruction of the Five Dragon Wheel was definitely a wise choice. If they delayed any longer, their lives would be forfeit. How powerful was the Scarlet Flame Tiger Leader? Even though it was only a Level 7 Demonic Beast, it was still a Level 7 Demonic Beast. Even under the illumination of the Sirius Star, the three Desert Wolf leaders were no match for the Scarlet Flame Tiger leader.
There was a palm-sized hole in its head, probably dug out by Red Zombie. The brain juice inside was already gone. It seemed that even Hong Jiang liked to eat brain juice. However, this Red Zombie was very picky. It only ate the brain juice of the Scarlet Flame Tiger leader. It was not interested in the brains of ordinary Scarlet Flame Tigers and human martial artists.
Now that the corpse of the Scarlet Flame Tiger leader was lying there, the remaining power emitted from its body made the dark red ants not dare to approach. As expected of a king. Even in death, it still had dignity. Actually, it was useless for the dark red ants to approach because they could not bite through the layer of tiger skin. Even the tiger meat was extremely hot. When the blood flowed to the ground, it was like magma. It would take a long time for it to solidify.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk … We are lucky."
Du Feng projected the scene seen by the pathfinder specter to Long Yichen using an image crystal. After he finished watching, the only thing he felt was that the two of them were quite lucky.
Judging from the broken weapons at the scene, the new team that Sun Zhangwei found was definitely not weak. More than ten of them were all using Thearch weapons and were even equipped with Thearch shields. If not, they would not have dared to confront the Scarlet Flame Tigers head-on.
In the process of confrontation, they were probably ambushed by the Red Zombies. After a fierce battle, the Red Zombies not only killed all the human warriors, they also killed many Scarlet Flame Tigers. Only then did they manage to lure their leader over. Unfortunately, even when the Scarlet Flame Tiger leader came, it was still not a match for the Red Zombies.
"What are those disgusting things?"
Apart from the Scarlet Flame Tiger leader, the other corpses were all eaten by the dark red ants. Then, a bunch of snot like bugs crawled out, making Long Yichen feel disgusted. Don't underestimate these snot bugs. They can melt hard bones very quickly.
A few snot bugs that were slightly larger in size became interested in the Scarlet Flame Tiger leader's corpse and moved their bodies over. Just when they wanted to climb up, the tiger blood that came out from the heat splashed on their bodies and they immediately caught on fire. Their bodies, which were like glue, immediately melted.
Haha, a king is a king. It is already dead, but it can still kill its enemies. Du Feng admired the Scarlet Flame Tiger leader more and more. It was a pity that it did not break through to the eighth level demonic beast. Otherwise, it could really have a good fight with the Red Zombies.
"Let's go and take a look."
According to the Red Zombies' habits, once they left a place, they would not return for a short period of time. Therefore, it was the safest to go there now. By the time Du Feng brought Long Yichen to the scene, the other skeletons had already disappeared. Only the huge corpse of the Scarlet Flame Tiger leader was left lying there quietly.
"Brother Du, leave it to me."
Du Feng was thinking about how to make good use of the tiger skin. Then, he heard Little Black volunteering to do this on his own initiative. Thinking about it, it made sense. The mutton hotpot that Xiao Hei ate recently was quite enjoyable, but it did not have much effect on leveling up.
Xiao Hei was not interested in the meat of ordinary demonic beasts. Now that there was a ready-made Scarlet Flame Tiger leader, its blood was still boiling hot, but it contained a lot of energy.
This time, Xiao Hei did not make his body bigger. Instead, he shrunk his body and crawled into the hole in the skull. Then, Du Feng watched as the Scarlet Flame Tiger leader's body sunk like a ball. Other than the tiger skin and bones, the meat, internal organs, ligaments, and other things were all eaten by Xiao Hei.
The boiling hot tiger blood could not hurt it. Instead, it was very good nourishment. This feast was really satisfying. He really had to thank the Red Zombie. Otherwise, it would have been quite difficult to kill such a Scarlet Flame Tiger leader.
"How is it? Do you want to sleep?"
After Xiao Hei finished eating, Du Feng asked with concern. Because as long as Xiao Hei entered a deep sleep, he would definitely level up when he woke up.
"Almost."
