1615 Bloodfire Phoenix
"There's nothing that is impossible." Qiao Mu remarked indifferently.
Even humans could adapt to the changing environment, let alone animals. Those normal saber-toothed red snappers were one meter long, while a select few had even reached two meters long.
Not only were their mouths armored with fangs, even their skin had been coated with a fiery-red substance.
It was most likely this that was protecting them from getting disintegrated into ashes by the boiling hot molten lava.
"These fish monsters should be equivalent to intermediate-level level-three zombies." Qiao Mu conjectured, "Their jumps can reach a height of one hundred meters. Apex Academy has purposely positioned the defensive barrier one hundred meters above ground."
By forcing people into the fishes' attack range, they truly had created a natural barrier.
Qiao Mu gazed at the Lava Mountain Range beyond the Molten Lava Crossing. Before getting close, she could already feel the heat waves tumbling over into her face.
"Have you guys decided?"
"Decided what."
"To go to this dodgy academy," Qiao Mu replied placidly.
If her guess was correct, Apex Academy's entrance exam was probably to successfully pass through this Molten Lava Crossing.
When studying how this Molten Lava Crossing surrounded the entire Lava Mountain Range in a ring-shaped waterway, it was obvious that this was a test!
The little fatty nodded emphatically. "I heard that Apex Academy provides one-on-one training with mentors. For all five spirits! It is very suitable for us to study at."
Qiao Mu rolled her eyes inwardly as she advised ominously, "It's best not to have your hopes up too much."
"Why?" The little fatty and Qi Xuanxuan asked in unison.
"Because the disappointment will be all the more greater!"
After saying this, she recalled Qingluan and summoned a bloodfire phoenix.
The little fatty's eyeballs were practically about to fall out of their sockets.
"Youn-Young, Young Older Sister? You-You? You! You actually have two mystic beasts? Th-This, This is a ph-ph-phoe-phoenix?" Please excuse the little fatty for stammering. It was truly that he had rarely seen a mystic cultivator actually possessing two mystic beasts in his lifetime.
The little fatty did not notice that Qi Xuanxuan, who was standing next to him, had already become petrified.
Qi Xuanxuan was cognizant that Qiaoqiao also had a white snakelet!
The bloodfire phoenix pridefully swept its phoenix tail and flew to Qiao Mu's side.
When she leaped up, the fire phoenix rose straight up into the air with a whoosh. It spread its wings, with fire clusters burning at both of its wingtips!
Just as the human and phoenix flew midway across Molten Lava Crossing, they heard splashing sounds.
Numerous meter-long saber-toothed red snappers jumped out from the molten lava and chomped at Qiao Mu and the fire phoenix with their big gaping mouths.
"Shriek." The bloodfire phoenix gave a shrill cry, instantly producing a wall of fire below in defense.
Like a wall erected out of raging flames, the saber-toothed red snappers that jumped up to bite got bashed back down by the blazing wall of fire.
Qiao Mu pointed at Qi Xuanxuan and the little fatty, and the bloodfire phoenix turned around to dive toward the pair.
Qi Xuanxuan and the little fatty both felt their hearts beating like crazy. They knew that the phoenix wouldn't attack them, but seeing a humongous phoenix diving down straight at them and instantly enveloping them with heat waves that hit them in the face was incomparably spine-tingling!
Qiao Mu reached out and flung the two onto the fire phoenix's back.
Afterwards, the fire phoenix turned around by sweeping an arc with its wings in mid-air before flying across Molten Lava Crossing to the other side.
