Chapter 718: Getting the advantage and running away

Xiao Zhen grabbed the dead lizardman, and the Sword of Luck barely absorbed tens of thousands of points of luck. The corpse could not be wasted, so he threw it directly into the system space.

Seeing that the other party openly collected the corpse of their own strong man, the two lizardmen could no longer bear it. They first sent a gathering message to other of their kind through a special sound frequency, and then rushed towards Xiao Zhen from the left and right.

At this moment, Xiao Zhen no longer needed to hide, so he returned to his true appearance and temporarily fought with these two guys.

Yao Tianhuo shouted from a distance: "Hurry up, my friend, their reinforcements will be here soon!"

After the old guy shouted, he ran away very quickly.

Xiao Zhen followed immediately. One of the main purposes of his trip was to get the larval form of the Fallen Heart Flame, so of course he would not just watch it slip away.

Yao Tianhuo found that the guys behind him were catching up again, so he slowed down a little and kept in the same row with Xiao Zhen.

"Young man, this is not a solution. How about we separate? At least we still have a chance to escape!"

Faced with the old guy's words, Xiao Zhen calmly blocked his words.

"Senior, what you said is too heartless. I have just killed a strong man from their clan. If we were separated, they would definitely kill me first and then catch you!"

Yao Tianhuo felt that this young man was not stupid and was indeed not easy to fool, so he could only helplessly play the victim.

"Brother, I am old now, and now I am just a soul. My only wish is to take one last look at the scenery on the ground before I dissipate. Please fulfill my wish and stop following me!"

Xiao Zhen shook his head, then gave him a reassuring look.

"Don't worry, I won't abandon you. Maybe once we get rid of the pursuers behind us, I can take you to bask in the sunshine again!"

"Damn it, why are you so stubborn? Well, if I can have someone to escape with, I won't be alone on the last journey!"

After expressing his feelings, Yao Tianhuo couldn't help but curse again.

"I have been sleeping soundly in a secret space node somewhere. I thought that if I met someone destined to be with me in the future, I would have a chance to return to the ground. But somehow, these beasts suddenly conducted a comprehensive search, causing my hiding place to be discovered. I had no choice but to embark on this journey of escape!"

Xiao Zhen was also a little embarrassed at this time. It turned out that the old man was blown out from his hiding place because of him.

Just when Xiao Zhen wanted to say something, a ring fell into his hands.

"My dear friend, this is my storage ring. My soul is temporarily placed in it. Since you want a piece, please let me save some soul power!"

Xiao Zhen was just about to complain about the old man when his soul power detected several huge fluctuations of fighting spirit around him, including an old acquaintance.

"Oh my god, it's gone!"

The figure disappeared in an instant, which made the several powerful lizardmen who had caught up with him scratch their heads and curse loudly.

After Xiao Zhen landed safely, he saw Zi Yan taking a nap next to him, and reached out to pinch her cute little nose.

"Which bastard is causing this trouble? Be careful or I'll beat you into a cake!"

Xiao Zhen laughed and said, "Who is our little Zi Yan going to beat into a cake? I wonder if she needs my help."

When Zi Yan saw this bad guy, she said angrily, "Didn't you go to the lava sea again? It's only been a short time, and you were driven back again!"

Xiao Zhen felt a little embarrassed, but he still took out the corpse of the powerful lizardman.

“See, this is what I gained!”

Zi Yan was almost frightened to the ground. After all, the residual power emanating from the corpse was definitely that of an eighth-level powerhouse.

Only after making sure that the other person was really dead did the little girl dare to go over and turn it over.

"This thing is so ugly, I wonder how it tastes?"

Xiao Zhen rudely hit the girl on the head and lectured her unhappily, "You only think about eating every day. Can you be more ambitious?"

A white mist surged out from Xiao Zhen's palm, and joy was mixed in his old voice.

"Wow, hahaha, I finally see the sun again today!"

Yao Tianhuo opened his arms and enjoyed the warmth of the sun. Although he was only a soul now, he still couldn't suppress his yearning for beautiful things.

Zi Yan asked curiously, "Who is this old guy? Why is he the same as old Yao? Is he also a ghost?"

Xiao Zhen patted the little girl's head and said seriously: "He is an old senior, you should at least show some respect to him."

Yao Tianhuo is a free and easy person. He doesn't care about these things at all. Instead, he kind of appreciates Zi Yan's carefree personality.

Yao Tianhuo didn't want to owe anyone a favor, but he didn't have much left now, so he simply asked: "Little friend Xiao Zhen, thanks to your help, I was able to leave that damn place. I wonder if there is anything I can do to help you, although there is not much I can do now!"

Xiao Zhen waved his hand and said with a hearty smile: "What you said, I can't refuse your kindness, why don't you just give me the Fallen Heart Flame!"

Yao Tianhuo hesitated for a while, but finally nodded and agreed. After all, his soul was too fragile now and he had no capital to negotiate.

Xiao Zhen didn't expect it to be so smooth. Yao Tianhuo was also a decisive person. He separated the strange fire without even a word.

Seeing that the old man's soul had dimmed a little, Xiao Zhen considerately took out a bottle of medicine specifically for nourishing the soul.

The little girl Zi Yan had already cut the lizardman into pieces and actually started grilling them right away.

When Xiao Zhen saw that the corpse of an eighth-level strong man was wasted like this, he wanted to give this girl a good spanking.

At this moment, Xiao Zhen felt a pure fire energy and gently grabbed the largest piece of lizardman flesh with his palm.

The bright bead emitting flames kept spinning. Xiao Zhen could clearly feel that this thing was very tonic. For a cultivator of fire attribute, it was more valuable than an eighth-grade elixir.

Yao Tianhuo acted as a commentator on the side.

"This kind of fire bead is a specialty of the lizardmen. It contains very pure fire energy. I have studied a few of them before, but the highest-grade ones were only dug out from fifth-level lizardmen. They are far from being as bright and dazzling as the one in your hand."

Xiao Zhen wiped off the sticky blood stains on it and prepared to go back and refine it again. It would definitely be smoother to take then.

After putting away the things, Xiao Zhen collected all the scales. With this hard material, he could definitely make excellent house armor.
