Standing on tiptoe, he hurried towards the needle forest outside the rain village. Yi Shuihan and Lai Ruoxue did not lose to him, and followed closely behind.

A strong premonition continued to explode in Gao Zhen's heart, and he felt that the strange things he had encountered were about to be strung together. The moment the Fire Beast descends, it will be the moment when all the puzzles are solved.

"There are footprints on the ground!" Lai Ruoxue's eyes were sharp, and she shouted as she ran.

Gao Zhen glanced at the ground with his peripheral vision, and sure enough, not far after they chased them out of the village, some light-colored footprints began to appear on the ground, which were easy to ignore if they didn't look carefully.

The footprints were shallow, but as before, they stained the surface of the earth with a faint layer of charred black, and a slight fishy smell emanated from it, gradually expanding in the air.

"Follow the footprints! The Fire Beast is ahead! Gao Zhen shouted, his footsteps did not stop for a moment, and the Qingmo sword in his hand was held upside down, turning into a thin black shadow in the air.

After about five or six minutes of chasing out, the footprints on the ground became more and more obvious, the color of the charred black became darker and darker, and the pungent smell of blood became stronger and stronger. It's not just high pillows, Yi Shuihan and Lai Ruoxue have smelled it.

At this moment, a black dot appeared not far ahead. Gao Zhen picked up his speed and sprinted as hard as he could, running towards the black dot.

It was a man who had fallen to the ground.

He was dressed in rags, his beard was silver-white, his muscles were shriveled, and he fell to the ground like a pile of dry wood.

This is none other than Nie Lao, who ran out of the village.

"What's wrong with him?" Lai Ruoxue shouted, her toes connected the dots, and she actually overtook the high pillow from behind and came to the old man's side. She is already about to reach the fourth order, and her cultivation and skill are far above the high sitter.

Nie Lao fell to the ground, motionless, his charred footprints extending from behind to his back, leaving two deep black blood holes on his dry body!

The two bloody holes, in the shape of human feet, sank deep into his back, stepping on his vertebrae. Lai Ruoxue looked into the blood cave, and the old man's already fragile spine was trampled on, and a scorched fishy smell emanated from it, which made her want to gag a little.

The strange footprints disappeared completely here, and there were no special traces around, but Nie Lao's daughter was nowhere to be found.

"He's dead." Lai Ruoxue shook her head towards Gao Zhen and Yi Shuihan, "His daughter doesn't know where she went. ”

"Ruoxue, be careful!" Yi Shuihan raised his head and suddenly shouted, the three-foot long sword in his hand was as smooth as autumn water, as light as smoke, but it was extremely fast, and the sword shadow stabbed straight behind Lai Ruoxue.

"Boom!" A ball of fireball exploded at the tip of the three-foot long sword, Lai Ruoxue's thin body was lifted by the shock wave of the explosion, and it soared into the air, but fortunately, she was flexible, turned around, and immediately maintained her balance.

Behind her, trees with needle-shaped blades burned. The fireball burned a large hole between the branches and leaves, and the other end hid behind the dense trees.

"Stand back, don't go in, wait for it to come out!" Gao Zhen shouted violently.

"Then why don't you just let it run?" Lai Ruoxue floated down from the air and landed behind Gao Zhen.

"Don't worry, I have a way!" Gao Zhen said, "Brother Yi, give me wine!" ”

"Brother pillow, catch it!" Yi Shuihan untied the wine gourd around his waist and threw it to Gao Zhen, after spending some time with this special immortal cultivator, he trusted Gao Zhen's judgment very much.

Gao Zhen reached out and took the yellow and clear wine gourd, lifted the lid, lifted it and poured it into his mouth.

Grunt, he poured almost half of the gourd's wine into his mouth. Then, with a sharp slam of his neck, he spewed the wine out of his mouth towards the fireball-burned hole in the woods ahead.

To the surprise of Yi Shuihan and Lai Ruoxue, it was no longer the wine that spewed out of his mouth, but a thick fire dragon. The fire dragon plunged headlong into the hole in front of it, more powerful than the exploding fireball! The embers scurried through the air, scorching the needle-like leaves of the branches, burning out the remaining moisture from the leaves and turning them into clouds of smoke.

"Whew!" A deafening roar came from the forest, a shrill sound that pierced everyone's eardrums like a needle, but it was clear that there was a hint of excitement hidden in the roar.

Gao Zhen had just mobilized the fire attribute true qi in his dantian, ignited the wine in his mouth with high temperature, and when it was sprayed out, a fire dragon was formed. He knew that things of the same attribute would attract each other, just as the Flame Iron Ore would attract the nearby Burning Wolves, and the fire dragon that he spewed out would also attract the Fire Beasts hidden in the forest.

After the roar, the surroundings suddenly became extremely quiet, except for the slight sound of the remaining flames on the branches.

Yi Shuihan and Lai Ruoxue both looked at Gao Zhen, as if they were asking him with their eyes. But Gao Zhen didn't say anything, just took his Nirvana shield from his shoulder and held it in front of him.

Seeing him like this, Yi Shuihan also put his long sword across his chest to make a defensive gesture. Lai Ruoxue, on the other hand, opened the two cloth chess jars hanging from her waist and picked up a chess piece from each of her index and middle fingers.

The silence did not last long, only a dozen seconds later, and a bang came from the front of everyone. A patch of crimson bloomed, staining everything in front of the three of them in a bloody color.

"Armor Talisman!"

The charm had already been installed in the groove behind the Nirvana shield by Gao Zhen, and when he saw the danger coming, he violently pulled the mechanism, triggered the charm, and through the transformation of the shield's special ability, a golden square film of light unfolded in front of him. The scriptures on the membrane flickered, and a majestic chant echoed, protecting the three men behind the shield.

"Click!" This golden shield is three or four meters wide and two meters high, and the person behind it can see the scene on the other side of the shield through the translucent protective film. With a crisp sound, a red palm hit the surface of the shield.

It was a strange hand, a dark black hand with protruding knuckles, and small sharp red punctures pierced through the skin, revealing it. The lines on the palm are very distinct, with something golden yellow that resembles hot lava flowing through it. The fingernails of the strange hand were dark black, sharper than the burning teeth of a burning wolf, firmly stuck to the solid armor shield held up from the high pillow.

The three of them looked behind the strange hand in unison, wanting to see what the fire beast really looked like.

There was a man standing there, still a woman. She was naked, and every patch of skin on her body was an obsidian-like deep black. She had no clothes and no hair, but the flames satisfied her. Golden lava continued to roll down from the top of her head, scattering like long golden hair. The crimson flames enveloped her, dancing and dancing wantonly, intertwining into her long flaming red dress.

She had nothing, but she was surrounded by flames. Her eyes were golden, and there was a crimson crack on her forehead, and that crack was like her third eye, and the light from it was dark red, like the legendary flame that could make all flames surrender to it—the Monarch Flame!

Her feet were bare, and she stepped on the ground, leaving a deep pit. The dirt turned to charred and blackened scraps, humble as nothingness at her feet. But the flames could not drown the foul smell, and the rotting blood seeped from the soles of the woman's feet and flowed into the earth, leaving the footprints of demons.

"This is the Fire Beast?" Lai Ruoxue looked stunned and couldn't believe it.

"There is no record of any such monster in the stone table." Yi Shuihan said that he couldn't be sure what was standing in front of him, so he used the word "monster" to refer to it.

"I know what she is," Gao took a deep breath, "she's a loser. ”
