1614 Saber-Toothed Red Snappers
"I, I…" The little fatty scratched the back of his head and explained with an embarrassed chuckle, "M-My mystic beast, isn't as amazing as yours. I-It can't fly nor run."
"What kind of mystic beast is that?" Qi Xuanxuan cast him a suspicious look and said, "Summon it out for us to see."
"O-Okay!" The little fatty suddenly extended his stubby leg and went into a horse stance as he muttered for a bit before announcing, "Come out, my mystic beast!"
Qi Xuanxuan could not help but find it funny looking at the little fatty's actions.
Could it be that every time this guy summoned his mystic beast, he would have to mutter under his breath for half the day? By the time he finished his piece and welcomed his mystic beast with this stance, the other party would have long beat him to the ground!
What kind of mystic beast required such fanfare and was also so slow!
*Boom!* Suddenly, a heavy thud landed on the moist bank of the red river.
What Qiao Mu and Qi Xuanxuan saw caused them to simultaneously twitch their mouths helplessly.
A large turtle the size of a hill was sprawling out in front of them.
Uh…
No wonder the little fatty said that it could neither run nor fly.
This turtle sprawled lazily by the red water as if sunbathing. It looked like it wished for nothing more than to flip onto its back and also tan its belly too.
It hadn't even given its master a glance ever since coming out. It truly was prideful to the extreme.
The little fatty smiled in embarrassment at the two girls before hastily cupping his hands toward Qiao Mu again. "Little Miss, please take me along!"
If he couldn't traverse this red river with a flying beast, then he would be out of options.
In any case, it was certain that they couldn't get across this red river by boat. Even the sturdiest rock was unable to last one second in the red river, let alone a wooden boat. They would be seeking their deaths traversing this river by water.
"Hey, look." Qi Xuanxuan crouched down and brushed away the sand on the side.
After brushing away the yellow sand, they found a stele half-sunk in the dirt with three characters on it: 'Molten Lava Crossing.'
"F*ck, this isn't any red river at all. This is molten lava."
Qiao Mu curved her lips. "There naturally will be a lot of molten lava buried under this Lava Mountain Range."
This naturally wasn't at all surprising, but the curious thing was that this Molten Lava Crossing, which surfaced from deep in the ground, had already grown to the magnitude of a river.
In actuality, it formed a natural barrier for Apex Academy.
"Master, there is a defensive barrier one hundred meters above us. It's too strong to break though." Qingluan flapped its wings and hopped next to Qiao Mu.
One hundred meters up above?
In other words, Qingluan couldn't fly too high in this defensive boundary. Otherwise, not only would it be unable to break through this defensive barrier, it would even be forced downward.
But if it were forced to fly at a low altitude…
Her gaze focused on the molten lava. She suddenly produced a piece of raw meat and flung it toward the molten lava.
She had tossed the piece of meat up high so it had yet to drop into the molten lava.
Yet before a second had even passed, 17 to 18 saber-toothed red snappers one meter long had jumped out of the molten lava and chomped down on that piece of meat at once. By the time they finished competing for a bite, the whole piece of meat had turned into mincemeat.
Qi Xuanxuan's face paled as she watched these meter-long saber-toothed red snappers jumping out of the molten lava. Under the sun, those saber-toothed red snappers' fangs glinted with an ominous cold light.
The little fatty also shuddered in fear. "This molten lava actually has mutated red snappers?"
Wasn't this too weird! How in the world did these saber-toothed red snappers survive in such boiling hot molten lava?
