Chapter 389 - 318 Ambush? A New Elemental Elf?_1
“Back! Back! Back!”
Amidst the sky full of Spirit Charm Fire, Cai Ji’s feathers exploded in fright as he urgently shouted.
Zhou Xinyu took a step forward, blocking in front of the two.
However, at this moment, he appeared extremely disheveled, his body’s golden light had somehow turned pitch black, with only a glimmer of gold still on the surface of his skin.
The blizzard that had surrounded them had also turned black, and a great amount of wind and snow were instead sweeping towards them.
The Spirit Charm Fire could invade any matter it contacted, even energy.
The trio hadn’t noticed at first, too focused on attacking.
It was only after the Spirit Charm Fire had enveloped them that they realized it was too late!
Under the burning of the Spirit Charm Fire, they discovered their energy being devoured, transforming into even more Spirit Charm Fire.
It was not just them, even several Cave Beastmen in the distance could only form a formation and retreat, struggling to stay alive.
Yao Zhixue’s pupils turned deep blue, and a frost snow lotus pattern appeared on her forehead.
By her side, Xue’er was also half-floating in the air, staring intently at the advancing Spirit Charm Giant and Dragon eating Vine.
“Master, let’s go quickly~ I can’t freeze these flames right now~”
Yao Zhixue said, “Is there really no other way?”
“There might be one, just need to destroy that Human Face Flower at the center of those vines, but sadly we…”
“Hiss…!”
Just then, a piercing friction sound suddenly came from afar.
But then, a large number of Spirit Enchanting Dragon Vines suddenly roared skyward, their thick vines wildly swinging, shaking, and trembling violently in the air, as if they were enduring some tremendous pain.
Yao Zhixue instinctively looked up and said, “Zheng Cheng!”
“Brother Cheng?”
“It really is Brother Cheng!”
Cai Ji also shouted excitedly, “Hahaha, Brother Cheng! We’re here! Hurry over!”
In the distant sky, Jerry’s massive body flew towards them at high speed.
And the Spirit Enchanting Dragon Vines on the ground also sensed the approach of the massive life energy, rapidly surging forward.
But before they could get close, illusory flames burst forth from them, burning frenziedly.
Ethereal Fire Incinerates Body Technique!
“Giggle giggle giggle giggle giggle~”
Little Qing’s crisp voice echoed around, its figure darting around Zheng Cheng, casting Ethereal Fire Incinerates Body Technique, rapidly burning on the body of the Spirit Enchanting Dragon Vines.
The Ethereal Fire flickered, and all the approaching Spirit Enchanting Dragon Vines screamed in agony, instinctively retreating.
In the midst of the wildly dancing Dragon eating Vines, Zheng Cheng emerged, one man and one dragon, landing in front of Yao Zhixue and the others.
“Zheng Cheng!”
Zhou Xinyu looked at Zheng Cheng in surprise, wondering how he had broken through the throng of Charming Beasts.
“Zhixue!”
Zheng Cheng nodded to Zhou Xinyu, then looked behind them.
“Follow me.”
With that instruction, Zheng Cheng began to lead the way, and the others quickly followed.
The illusory flames kept dancing, and all the attacking Spirit Enchanting Dragon Vines either retreated or screamed, turning to ash.
With Zheng Cheng leading the way, the Spirit Enchanting Dragon Vines on their path posed no threat at all.
Suddenly, a white figure flew in front of Zheng Cheng, asking curiously, “Who are you?”
Xue’er.
Its gaze fixed on Little Qing above Zheng Cheng’s head, “Elemental Elf user? Why does the elemental aura on you feel so strange, so pure…”
Little Qing also tilted its head and said, “You’re called… Xue’er, right, the Elemental Elf user who is the master’s good friend?”
“Yes, that’s me.” Xue’er nodded vigorously, “Are you one of my kin?”
“Elemental Elf?” Little Qing nodded and said, “Of course, I am an Elemental Elf. It’s just a special type of element, called the Penicillin Sprite.”
“Penicillin Sprite? This is the first time I’ve heard of it,” Xue’er said. “But it doesn’t matter, from now on we’re tribe members, and also good friends.”
“Mm-hmm~”
“Chi…!”
The void fire leapt up, and once again a massive Vine was overrun by the void fire, retreating while emitting screams of pain.
Under Zheng Cheng’s lead, the group quickly arrived at the center of the Spirit Enchanting Dragon Vine.
Spirit Charm Human Face Flower!
This Human Face Flower was no different from the ones Zheng Cheng had encountered before, but perhaps because it had devoured more blood and flesh of living beings, it was even more ferocious.
Upon sensing Zheng Cheng and the others’ approach, it immediately spat out a large amount of Spirit Charm Fire to obstruct them.
Unfortunately for the Human Face Flower, with Little Qing and Zheng Cheng working together and using the Penicillin Parasite Body Shield to block the Spirit Charm Fire, and then employing Ethereal Fire Incinerates Body technique to burn its essence, it stood no chance.
Within just a few minutes, one could see the enormous Human Face Flower emitting a series of agonized screams.
Its huge body, previously covered in densely packed Human Face Flowers, began to wither and turn to ash, and soon the decay spread to the main body.
Eventually, the huge Human Face Flower was reduced to ashes.
A flash of black light caught the sharp eyes of Zheng Cheng, who spotted a black book and grabbed it.
[Phantom Soul Book: A special task Prop, which, when delivered to the remaining members of the Charm Clan, will yield a certain reward. It also serves as proof for certain tasks and for passing certain challenges.]
“Another Phantom Soul Book? A task item?”
Zheng Cheng roughly guessed its purpose, and at that moment, as the Spirit Charm Human Face Flower fell, the surrounding Spirit Enchanting Dragon Vines all went into a frenzy, attacking furiously.
“Let’s go!”
Zheng Cheng shouted in a low voice, still clearing the way with the Ethereal Fire Incinerates Body technique, as the few of them swiftly headed towards the mountain’s peak.
“Have you seen the others?”
“A teacher… sacrificed himself.”
Yao Zhixue said quietly, then, just at that moment, the ground ahead exploded, and a figure shot out, wielding two scimitars that emanated a deadly aura, slashing towards Zheng Cheng.
Lizard-man!
A Lizard-man Professionist hidden underground seized this moment to launch an attack on the group.
Behind them, the Cave Beastmen who had previously formed a defensive array to resist the Spirit Enchanting Dragon Vines also advanced towards them with killing intent.
Before Zhou Xinyu and the others could react, Little Qing suddenly pointed ahead.
A green light flickered and swiftly formed a vast web, covering the group and blocking this assault.
At the same time, Zheng Cheng took aim at the attacker, and a strange psychic fluctuation immediately descended upon the figure.
Skin Bursting Technique.
“Pu!”
In an instant, the Lizard-man’s skin burst like it had been sifted through a steel sieve, revealing clumps of flesh and viscous blood, causing him to scream in agony.
Little Qing took advantage of the moment, pointing at him and setting his blood ablaze.
Blood Burning Technique!
“What, what kind of power is this?”
Zhou Xinyu stared in amazement as if seeing Zheng Cheng for the first time, and exclaimed, “Invisible flames, and the ability to make blood burn, are you really a Priest?”
“As genuine as it gets!” Zheng Cheng replied.
“Little Qing! Behind us!”
“I know, Master~”
Little Qing’s figure flashed again, reappearing behind the group, and the green threads of the Penicillin Parasite Body Shield once again protected them from harm.
Skin Bursting Technique!
Blood Burning Technique!
Instantly, the group was engulfed in crimson flames, their screams echoing nonstop.
Xue’er was also in awe of Little Qing, “To master the control of elemental power to such precision? Even to finer detail than me—Penicillin Sprite, just what kind of element are you?”
“Such pure power… I wonder if it could solve the many years’ dilemma that has plagued our Elemental Elf tribe…”
