Chapter 144: Fire-weary Beast

Although the monster was in human form, they were charred and skinny, and looked like charred corpses.

"What the hell is this?" Xin Su hurriedly stepped aside, but another monster sprang out of the rift, spitting fire at her.

Ji Hua could only discern the range of the monster's attack by his voice, and he had been vigilant and ready to dodge at any time, but he waited in place for a while before realizing that the monster did not seem to be attacking him.

The direction of the monster's attack seems to be concentrated in the direction of Phantom and Heart. They are both intruders, is there anything special about the two of them?

Ji Hua thought for a moment, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Quickly put away the water spirit!"

Although Xin Su didn't understand why he wanted to do it, he obediently withdrew the water spiritual power that resisted the heat, and a hot heat instantly enveloped him.

She covered her heart and took a few steps back, and ran into the hot stone wall again, and her clothes almost didn't burn out of the holes.

Without the water spirit, she is simply vulnerable in this place, and although the monsters have stopped attacking her, it won't be long before she can die of heat here.

Seeing this, Chang Jue said, "Don't push out the water spirits, I can resist them." ”

Before the words fell, fireballs continued to erupt from the monster's mouth, and Chang Jue held the phantom with one hand, waving his knife to resist while dodging.

They seem to be very afraid of water, ice and the like, and the heart element has no water vapor, so the two monsters attack the phantom Wu who is full of cold water vapor together, and it seems that they want to burn the carrier of water vapor directly.

Chang Jue could only cling to Phantom Wu, not daring to leave her for half a step.

Can't be beaten like this all the time, Phantom Wu pushed the ice crystals condensed in his body into a small half of his palm, and threw it far away to the other end.

As soon as this small ice crystal was thrown, the two monsters hurriedly avoided it as if they had seen a natural predator, and then turned around and violently spewed flames at the ice crystal, and the surrounding stones were quickly burned red.

Having a moment of free time, Phantom Wu let out a long sigh.

"Are you alright?" Chang Jue looked at her worriedly.

"It's fine, it's just a small piece of ice crystal. Phantom winked at him triumphantly.

The heart over there was not so comfortable, but she didn't dare to resist the water spirit again when she saw the two monsters attacking so violently.

She didn't dare to lean against the stone wall, only stood bent over alone, gasping for breath: "What kind of monster is this?"

"Are they the same as the images portrayed on the mountain gate before?" asked Ji Hua Chong Phantom Wu.

"Almost...... No, it should be that the things that are locked up in this place, or the things that are hiding from the outside world, should be such monsters. Phantom replied.

Ji Hua kept an eye on the monster's movements and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this monster should be called the Fire Weary Beast." In the past, in the east of Yushan, more near the sea, there was a fire-weary country, and the people of the country were called fire-weary people. For some reason, they were punished by the Emperor of Heaven and kept devouring flames to ward off the cold in their bodies. But they are extremely disgusted with fire, so they will vomit out after eating the fire, and they will vomit all the time after eating, but if they don't eat the cold in their bodies, they will freeze directly into stones, so they have to endure this torture all the time. Over time, fire will overflow directly into their bodies, burning their dwelling place to ashes, and they will be driven away if they want to change places, so they have been hiding in the mountains, at least the stones burn more slowly. ”

It's also too cruel. Chang Jue frowned: "What crime did you commit to bear such a punishment?"

Phantom said: "Disgusted...... I seem to have seen them before, saying that they are actually a kind of water tribe, they are strange and ugly, their skin is green, covered with fish scales, and the foreign tribes are very afraid and disgusted with them. In order not to be discriminated against, they stole the treasures of the Sea Dragon Clan without authorization, which resembled a kind of ice crystal, which could improve their cultivation and turn into a beautiful and handsome human form like the Sea Dragon Clan. The ice crystals were stolen, and the Sea Dragon Clan sued the Heavenly Court, so the Emperor of Heaven lowered the responsibility and planted the ice crystals directly into the body of the Fire Weary Clan. No matter how high or low the cultivation is, the ice crystals will always grow, and if they don't devour the flames to resist the expansion of the ice crystals, they will directly burst and die, and turn into a stone after death. Devouring the flames changed their original appearance, turning into the humanoid state of dried corpses, from fire-fighting people to fire-weary beasts. The most ironic thing is that these fire-weary beasts that die without devouring flames will have three words 'I am human' on their bodies after death. ”

After listening to Phantom Wu's words, several people looked at each other, and they looked at the two fire-weary beasts still spitting fire and burning the ice crystal that had long been gone, and they were speechless for a while.

How painful, how afraid of this little ice crystal, is it so paranoid and desperate?

"It turns out that it's because of this," Ji Hua couldn't bear it: "No matter how big the crime is, it should be enough to be punished for so long, right?"

Chang Jue's face was expressionless, and his tone was a little sarcastic: "The Heavenly Family is the most fair, but compared to justice, what they are most proud of is ruthlessness." ”

"What kind of Divine Tree Treasure is it? Could it be that the so-called things that our Feng Clan wants to protect are these monsters?" asked Xinsu.

Phantom shook his head: "I don't know, maybe it's just to keep them from coming out and setting fires everywhere." ”

"No," Ji Hua said suddenly, "The fire-weary people voluntarily hid in the belly of the mountain, in order not to let their homes become a scorched earth, and they didn't need to be guarded at all. Yushan already has many gods and fairy grasses, maybe they also took these treasures when they hid, and the Feng clan should protect these things that they hid. ”

Changjue: "The Fireweary Man didn't let anyone else get these treasures, so he took them with him." The Feng clan couldn't get them, so they simply guarded them so that other foreigners could not even think of getting them. ”

After a few moments, the two fire-weary beasts stopped attacking, and they turned their heads to look in the direction of the phantom for a few moments, and suddenly jumped down towards the rift behind them.

Xinsu: "Why don't they attack us?"

"They can't keep spitting fire, maybe they go down and swallow it. Phantom looked at the three of them: "Or maybe it's going to call out to the other companions." ”

Although only two of them have appeared, no one knows how many fire-weary beasts are hidden underground. How many have survived after so long of suffering? Will they change their minds and be full of resentment towards the world?

No one knows.

Xinsu said: "After all, isn't it just for the secret treasure? Where is the treasure? Where is the thief? We've been here for so long and we have bought everything, I think we might as well go out first." ”

Phantom Wu looked at Xinsu's face as if he had been washed in a pot, and the sweat kept flowing down, and when it was handed to the ground, it turned directly into a puff of white smoke.

It was indeed very hot, and when she gave such a little ice crystal, the heat felt by her body rose a lot.

"It's not a bad idea, at least we already know what's in the mountains, so let's go out first. Phantom Wu also said.

Ji Hua shook his head: "As long as they attack the two of you, they won't attack me, you guys go out first, I think...... I'm here for a while. ”

"You can stay if you want, I can't stand it!" looked at her in confusion, said impatiently, turned around and left.

The three of them watched her figure quickly disappear into the darkness and hesitated.

"Ah Wu, you can go out too. Since Ji Hua wants to stay, I might as well stay and check it out, after all, where is the so-called Divine Tree Immortal Grass, it's better to see it with my own eyes. Chang Jue said.

Phantom Wu took his hand: "But ......"

Ji Hua smiled: "Don't worry so much, I'm familiar with the plants around Yushan, and I can smell it, not to mention that I originally came to find herbs that can restore my vision, so I was really unwilling to go out like this." Phantom Wu can't rest assured of you, you all go out. ”

Chang Jue was still hesitating, when he heard a rather familiar laughter coming from the direction where Xin Su had just left.

"Since you have encountered it, don't go. ”

The voice was more familiar: "Clear?"

"Long time no see, my little Ah Wu. ”

Dressed in moon-white, he slowly stepped out of the darkness, like a god under the moon.

He grabbed Xinsu's neck with one hand and brought Xinsu back like a lamb to the slaughter.

Xinsu's face turned red, but she didn't resist and struggle at all, only stared at Ji Ming in horror.

It's been a long time since I've seen such a god-and-demon appearance, and Phantom Wu has a fear from the bottom of her heart, but she still has the courage to say: "It's been a long time since I saw it, but this time I have to face you like a god-killing look, it's better not to see it." ”

"I almost forgot, my little Ah Wu doesn't like me to kill. Ji Ming smiled indifferently, stretched out his hand, and threw the heart out.

Xin Su fell directly to the ground, coughing hard as he quickly got up from the scorching ground. She seemed to be very afraid of Jiming, and hurriedly hid away.

"That's it. Ji Ming clapped his hands.

Chang Jue Chong Jiming said: "Why are you here again?"

"Let's take a look at the old people. He said indifferently.

Chang Jue sneered: "Do you think I believe it?"

"It's boring, it's not a joke, why are you so angry? Can you not know that I'm here? Of course I'm here to steal treasures. Ji Ming stretched out his hand to comb the hair in front of him, and there was no embarrassment at all.

"So you're a treasure thief. Ji Hua listened to it for a long time, and it turned out that the person they had been looking for was very familiar with Phantom.

Ji Ming glanced at Ji Hua, ignored him, and only quickly withdrew his gaze, and looked at Phantom Wu and Changjue again: "You don't believe it, it's just a matter of whether this treasure is stolen or not, and the most important reason why I came here is to come to see the old man." ”

Chang Jue stood in front of Phantom Wu: "You see it, you can leave." ”

"Hey, it's different when you go out, it's just in this purgatory-like place that it looks better. Seeing that these words had a deep meaning, he suddenly turned his head to Ji Hua and said, "Who is that, don't you want fairy grass, it's right there." ”

Ji Ming stretched out his hand and pointed to the other side of the rift: "I have looked for it before, and it is there...... Don't worry, I didn't wait for you, I didn't touch it at all. ”
