Chapter 1008 - Why Do I Need This Fire Tongue?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Nether Frost!
This was the special ice he found on the Nether World Giant Python. It was able to curb fire element star beasts.
It was just the right item to deal with the Fire Black Toad.
Swoosh!
With a wave of his hand, the long spear shot out. It turned into a beam of black light and hurled down at the Fire Black Toad.
Sensing danger, the Fire Black Toad started struggling frantically in the big net. It managed to free half of its body, but it was too late.
The long spear made from Nether Frost arrived above the Fire Black Toad in an instant. Then. it stabbed into its body.
Splurt!
A red flower blossomed, its beauty amplified by a cry of sorrow.
Croak!
The Fire Black Toad's huge body flew out under the impact of the long spear. There was a loud bang. It was pinned on the ground some distance away.
However, it was still alive. It continued struggling, stomping the ground with its limbs in an attempt to pull out the long spear.
Swoosh…
A chill exuded out of the long spear and spread through the body of the Fire Black Toad. All its Force and blood were frozen.
At the same time, a layer of black ice appeared on its surface.
The Fire Black Toad stopped struggling. Its body stiffened, and it froze on the spot. No signs of life could be detected anymore.
"This ice…" An Lan squinted. He was astounded when he saw Nether Frost.
He landed in front of the Fire Black Toad and touched the ice. A chill entered deep into his bones, along with a layer of frost on his mecha body.
"What a powerful frost!" another mecha martial warrior exclaimed.
"Wang Teng, I didn't know that you're an ice-element martial warrior too. This isn't normal frost, right?" An Lan looked at Wang Teng intently as he probed.
"It's nothing special." Wang Teng waved his hand nonchalantly as he walked over and sized up the Fire Black Toad.
An Lan had nothing to say. A normal person like him couldn't converse with this young man who loved to put on an act.
"This Fire Black Toad is probably at the fifth level of the celestial stage," An Lan took a deep breath and said.
Wang Teng nodded and picked up the attribute bubbles dropped by the Fire Black Toad.
Constellation Force (Fire)*3500
Fire Tongue*1
Blank Attribute*4500
…
Huh? What can I use this fire tongue for? Wang Teng gave a contemptuous look.
This was a special technique, but he couldn't use his tongue as a weapon like the Fire Black Toad, right?
It felt exciting just thinking about it… Cough, it felt disgusting!

However, after picking it up, he realized that this wasn't the case. He could form a tongue using flames. It would be agile and great for sneak attacks.
Besides this special skill, he also gained 3500 points of constellation fire Force and 45000 blank attributes. It was a sizable sum.

Wang Teng kept the corpse of the Fire Black Toad in his space ring. He had finished 1/500 of the second mission.
"Let's go."
Everyone continued their journey towards the lava swamp.
Another ten minutes passed quickly. The group finally reached their destination. A vast and boundless swamp appeared in front of them.
This swamp was different from usual. It was made of lava, and it was scorching. The lava was rumbling loudly. Bubbles formed on the surface and burst after some time. Steaming hot lava splashed everywhere.
Wang Teng saw numerous attribute bubbles at one glance.
Collect!
Constellation Force (Fire)*30
Constellation Force (Fire)*25
Constellation Force (Fire)*35
…
Within a few seconds, Wang Teng collected more than 2000 points of constellation fire Force.
"We're finally here." An Lan glanced around him in awe. "I heard that this swarm is always expanding. I wonder if it's true."
"I think so. Look at the rocks around it. They're melting slowly." Wang Teng finished picking up the attribute bubbles and looked below him. He squatted down and tapped a piece of rock lightly. It broke immediately and fell into the lava.
A mecha martial warrior placed his finger into the lava. When he took it out, his finger had melted.
"Ouch… it hurts." The mecha commented without any expressions on his face.
Clang!
An Lan slapped the martial warrior's head and scolded, "Don't be stupid. You shouldn't waste your energy like this."
"Yes!" A blue glow appeared in the mecha martial warrior's eyes. His finger started growing back like liquid.
"Erm, is there something wrong with their brains?" Wang Teng asked An Lan through voice transmission.
"Don't worry, ordering them around won't be a problem." An Lan smiled apologetically and patted his chest.
"I hope so." Wang Teng glanced at him helplessly.
Then, he twirled his eyeballs and released the metal armor flaming scorpion and Little White from the space fragment.
After absorbing the Constellation Elixirs, they had gone into hibernation and woke up a few days ago. Both of them had advanced to the emperor level. They possessed the same power as a planetary-stage human martial warrior.
The metal armor flaming scorpion was at the third-level emperor level while Little White was at the fifth-level emperor level. It had surpassed the metal armor flaming scorpion.
The metal armor flaming scorpion felt frustrated because of this. At first, it was more powerful than Little White. Yet, it was lagging behind now.
The metal armor flaming scorpion cursed Wang Teng for being biased numerous times. He must have given Little White a lot of good stuff. If not, how could Little White surpass it?
However…
"Master, what do you need from me?" The metal armor flaming scorpion crawled toward Wang Teng obediently when it realized that it was in a place filled with fire Force. It tried to curry favor with Wang Teng.
"Caw…" Little White still couldn't speak, so it cawed and landed in front of Wang Teng, rubbing its head on his palm.
"This is a small world known as the Flaming River World. This lava swamp is a dangerous place. There are flaming river crystals beneath it. I want you to go down and search for this crystal with me," Wang Teng replied.
"Go down!" The metal armor flaming scorpion placed its scorpion tail in the lava and exclaimed, "The constellation fire Force inside is very thick. It's dangerous, but it'll be of great help to our cultivation."
"This is a good opportunity. Take the chance to upgrade yourselves," Wang Teng said earnestly. He didn't feel that he had found two hard laborers for himself.
"Don't worry, Master. We'll work hard," the metal armor flaming scorpion said firmly.
"Alright, you'll work together with Little White. Don't stay too far from me. If there's any danger, I might not be able to rush over in time," Wang Teng said.
"These are your spiritual pets?" An Lan walked over and asked in surprise.
"That's right. Ask An Feng, An Dong, and An Jian to team up with them," Wang Teng nodded and said after some contemplation.
"Okay." An Lan had no objections. He turned and spoke to the three other mecha martial warriors.
After some time, he said to Wang Teng, "The temperature below is very high. We won't be able to stay below for too long and will need to return to the surface soon. This is a waste of time."
Wang Teng pondered and took out three battle armors.
He took these from the alien candidates in the past. They were all mass-produced items. They had no owners now, so anyone could wear them.
"Wear these battle armors," Wang Teng said.
An Lan and the others were confused, but they still wore the battle armor. A plus point of these mass-produced battle armors was that they could change according to the size and height of the wearer.
Thus, when they wore them, they fitted them perfectly.
Wang Teng went forward and gathered Nether Frost on his palm. A layer of frost covered the armors.
An Lan's eyes lit up. He finally understood Wang Teng's plan.
"How do you feel?" Wang Teng asked.
"Hahaha, this is a good idea. The frost will have little effect on us because of the battle armor," An Lan smiled and replied.
"That's good. Wear this to enter the swamp and you can stay below for a longer time. When you feel uncomfortable, come to me and I'll cover you with frost again."
"Yes." An Lan nodded.
Wang Teng organized his team and continued on their quest.
"Let's go." The instant he said this, everyone leaped into the lava swamp.
Plonk! Plonk! Plonk!
Lava splattered into the air, submerging Wang Teng and his team. They controlled their bodies as they went down.
