When they first heard Chu Chen's words, they thought that he would give them the ice talismans for free. Who would've thought that he would charge them for it? Instantly, a look of displeasure appeared on their faces.
"Junior Brother, how can you do this? We, the Heavenly Court's Senior Brothers, are already being very kind by allowing you to travel with us. You should know that the disciples of the Earth Court can't wait to curry favor with us. You want to pay for a few ice talismans? Isn't this a little too much? "
Guo Jun's face immediately darkened. His eyes emitted a light of anger. 'This stinking brat doesn't know what's good for him. Normally, the disciples of the Earth Court would be respectful and fearful when they see us, but this brat actually dares to bargain here!' 'Newborn calves aren't afraid of tigers. He doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth.'
"Senior Brother Guo, what you're saying is wrong."
After talking with Zhou Mei, Chu Chen knew that this person was one of the elites of the Heavenly Court. Thus, the smile on his face didn't change at all.
"Senior Brothers, although you all have noble statuses, since everyone's goal is the Fire Land, I won't take advantage of you. In any case, with or without me, aren't you all going to go there all the same?"
Chu Chen said slowly.
"Moreover, this Junior Brother of the Earth Court is not as rich and overbearing as all of you. I have spent quite a bit of effort and time to refine these ice talismans. You can't possibly let me return empty-handed, right? I've heard that the Senior Brothers of the Heavenly Court are all geniuses amongst geniuses. They wouldn't covet my meager contribution points, right?"
Seeing the stunned expressions of the Heavenly Court's disciples, the corners of Chu Chen's mouth curled up. "With your methods, I'm sure you all can earn contribution points very quickly. A mere 10,000 contribution points in exchange for a comfortable day should be worth it. You all don't want to suffer the pain of being roasted by the high temperature anymore, right? Senior Brothers, if you hesitate any longer, our journey will be greatly affected."
"Alright, alright, hand over the ice talismans!"
Guo Jun frowned as he took out his disciple nameplate and handed it to Chu Chen with a helpless look on his face.
Speaking of which, if a group of Heavenly Court disciples insisted on forcing their Junior Brother from the Heavenly Court to give them a medicinal talisman without paying for it, it would not look good on them. They might even be taught a lesson by their sect. Therefore, the others also took out their disciple nameplates and handed them to Chu Chen.
Chu Chen didn't stand on ceremony. He transferred 10,000 contribution points from each disciple's nameplate to his own disciple's nameplate. Then, he handed over four ice talismans that emitted a threatening aura.
Then, he took out an ice talisman and handed it to the cold-faced woman in blue. He smiled and waved his hand. "Senior Martial Sister Sun paid for the ride on the Fire-Swallowing Giant Tortoise on behalf of everyone, so I won't charge you for this ice talisman."
"No need." The blue-clothed woman glanced at Chu Chen before turning her head away. Her cultivation was the most profound among the group, almost at Huangfu Yin's level. Thus, it was very easy for her to resist the high temperature of the surrounding space.
On the other hand, with her personality, she naturally wouldn't easily accept the kindness of others.
"Hehe, since Senior Martial Sister Sun doesn't want to accept it, I won't force it." Chu Chen smiled and handed the ice talisman to Zhou Mei. Then, he nodded at the beast tamer disciple. "Senior Martial Brother, let's speed up."
"Yes, if we speed up, we will need to feed large amounts of medicinal flames to replenish the Fire-Swallowing Giant Tortoise's spirit force. Thus, we will need to pay an extra 20,000 contribution points. We will pay when we reach our destination."
The beastmaster disciple nodded and silently chanted a few incantations. Immediately, a palm-sized bony protrusion slowly appeared on the originally sunken turtle shell. The protrusion was covered in intricate and intricate patterns. It was clear that this was the protective formation on the giant turtle's back.
Senior Sister Sun, who was dressed in blue, nodded slightly when she saw this scene. Then, she stretched out her white hand and covered the formation pattern. Along with a soft shout, a bright purple light burst out with a loud bang. It was like flowing water that quickly entered the formation pattern.
Everyone felt their bodies tremble slightly. A dark red light curtain rose from the tortoise shell and quickly formed a huge protective light barrier around them.
"The protective formation has been activated. Everyone, hold on tight. Let's speed up!"
The Beast Tamer Disciple shouted and a ball of white light appeared on his palm and entered the Fire-Engulfing Giant Tortoise's body. The giant tortoise roared at the sky and lowered its head. It was like a dragon entering the sea and entering the vast quicksand.
Once it entered the depths of the quicksand, the Fire-Swallowing Giant Tortoise suddenly sped up as if it had been injected with chicken blood. The ever-present quicksand was rapidly flowing in all directions like water. For a moment, the surroundings became pitch-black. There was endless quicksand everywhere, and nothing else could be seen.
This huge beast could actually swim in the sand?
Seeing this miraculous scene, Chu Chen's eyes widened in shock. To be honest, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have thought that a desert could be like an "ocean" and allow a huge beast to "swim" like this.
If he hadn't known beforehand that he was in a boundless desert, he would've mistakenly thought that he had suddenly arrived in a deep sea area.
This was the profundity of the Fire-Eating Giant Tortoise, a spirit beast unique to the desert. To other creatures, the Fiery Quicksand Sea was a forbidden zone without any signs of life. However, to this kind of sand beast, it was a paradise of freedom. The Fire-Eating Giant Tortoise swam much faster in the sea of sand than on land.
Once they entered the depths of the sand, the surrounding temperature rapidly rose. The beast tamer disciple hadn't lied to them. The temperature in the air had risen by more than 50%. Just by using the naked eye, they could see dazzling flames jumping around in the sand from time to time. This was the raging fire essence unique to the Fiery Quicksand.
Every strand of this essence could easily smelt a piece of fine iron. If it weren't for Chu Chen's ice talisman, everyone's clothes would've been burned.
The sand was boundless and dark, and there was no way to distinguish direction here. The only thing they could be sure of was that the Fire-Swallowing Giant Tortoise was indeed very fast. It was like a sharp sword moving forward. Occasionally, they could see huge rocks buried deep in the sand. They were like giant beasts in the deep sea that were silent.
After sprinting for about two hours, a loud sound suddenly rang out in the originally calm darkness. Everyone felt their bodies tremble slightly, and their gazes involuntarily turned to look behind them. Behind the unknown darkness, a series of loud and muffled sounds rang out continuously like muffled thunder!
