#496 - Fire Demon Guardian, can you lend me a helping hand?
Chapter 496: The Fire Demon Guardian, would you lend me a hand?
The group plowed through, collecting fire crystals until their hands were sore. The magma fire demons below were miserable. When had they ever seen such arrogant intruders? The key was that there was nothing they could do about it. They could only roar in anger, a display of impotent rage, before being frozen into ice sculptures.
Later on, these fire demons became clever. If they couldn't afford to fight, they could at least avoid trouble. They simply holed up in the magma and refused to come out.
During this time, the group also encountered some other demon clans.
Seeing how easily Qin Qipeng and the others were hunting fire demons, they all revealed expressions of envy, but they didn't dare to approach and snatch anything. They could only watch from afar.
The group was helpless against the fire demons' retreat, and they felt somewhat unsatisfied. However, they had already collected all the fire crystals they needed and could go to the next level at any time.
Just as they were about to leave, suddenly, a earth-shattering roar echoed throughout the entire mystic realm. At the same time, in the distance, waves of fire surged layer upon layer, with the highest reaching hundreds of meters.
The group was immediately shocked and turned to look in the direction of the sound.
They saw a very tall and large monster rising from the magma in the distance. Even from so far away, they could feel the other party's terrifying power.
"Who angered this guy?"
Zong Jue muttered.
The others looked at him in confusion.
Tu Shan Yu explained, "This is the guardian of the Fire Demon Mystic Realm. Its strength is not weak, especially in this natural environment, where its strength is greatly enhanced. The entire magma world is almost its body. If you can't obtain the fire spirit within its body, it is almost immortal and indestructible. Its strength is comparable to a Body Integration stage cultivator, making it very difficult to deal with!"
Zong Jue clicked his tongue and said, "The fire spirit within this guy's body is a good thing. Even a Tribulation stage cultivator who cultivates fire-attribute techniques would benefit greatly. It's not very useful for our Kunpeng clan, so we don't easily provoke it every time we come!"
Qin Qipeng pondered, "Let's go take a look!"
Zong Jue helplessly spread his hands and said, "This guy is awake and has already disrupted the space of this mystic realm. We can't leave in a short time, so let's go take a look!"
The group immediately flew towards the monster at high speed.
Getting closer, the group deeply felt the size of this guy, with a body exceeding several hundred meters, and it was constantly changing. Sometimes it turned into a giant, wielding magma fists and sweeping across the area, and sometimes it turned into a fire dragon, dancing up and down, its roar shaking the heavens and the earth.
Around this guy, there were also hundreds of figures wandering and flying, precisely the demon cultivators who were stranded in this realm.
Zong Jue's gaze swept over the crowd, and he immediately smiled, "I was wondering who woke this guy up. It turns out it was those two guys who did it!"
The two he was talking about were Long Aotian and Feng'e.
These two were extremely conspicuous among the many demon cultivators, and only they could cause substantial damage to this fire demon.
Half of Long Aotian's body had transformed into a dragon form, with black scales covering his entire body. The fire waves stirred up by the fire demon could hardly cause any damage to him. He constantly shuttled back and forth, trying to find an opportunity to seize the fire spirit within the fire demon's body.
Feng'e was surrounded by fire lotuses, and there was even a giant fire bird hovering above her head, constantly making crisp cries. All the flames released by the fire demon were swallowed by the giant fire bird above her head, unable to cause any harm to her.
The phoenix was originally a fire-attribute divine beast, born with the ability to control flames, and it even had a natural divine power to be reborn from the ashes.
Although the fire demon was powerful, it could not threaten Feng'e to this extent.
The other demon cultivators were picking up the scraps on the side.
This fire demon was too big, and there was not only a fire spirit inside its body, but also countless fire crystals. Under the attacks of Long Aotian and Feng'e, the magma body was constantly shattered, and shining fire crystals scattered like rain.
The eyes of the demon cultivators lit up, and they swarmed forward to snatch them.
This kind of high-quality fire crystal was a good thing even for the Hundred Great Royal Clans.
Even if it couldn't be used for cultivation, it could be used for refining weapons, alchemy, or even body refinement. There were many uses for it.
Of course, there were risks in doing so. Many demon cultivators were unfortunately swept by the fire demon in the process of snatching, directly turned into fireballs, and let out heart-rending screams, soon being burned to ashes.
This was the consequence of trying to seize opportunities without sufficient strength.
Some people were pushed towards the fire demon by other demon cultivators in the process of snatching. The cruelty of the cultivation world was vividly displayed at this moment.
Qin Qipeng's eyes also lit up.
"You wait here, I'll be right back!"
Without waiting for the others to react, two golden-winged phantoms instantly rose from behind Qin Qipeng, and then he suddenly rushed towards the fire demon.
"This kid!"
Zong Jue was immediately anxious. If something happened to Qin Qipeng, he wouldn't be able to explain it to his mother. He gritted his teeth and followed him.
Seeing this, the others also followed.
Although this fire demon was powerful, the group didn't take it to heart.
Especially Tu Shan Yu and the others, who had the Evergreen Token, even a Mahayana stage cultivator would not easily kill them, let alone this mere fire demon.
The addition of Qin Qipeng and the others immediately attracted the attention of all the demon cultivators.
Qin Qipeng summoned the Profound Yin Treasure Mirror, and the Yin Sha energy swept out from the mirror surface, directly freezing the magma arm that was swinging over into an ice sculpture. Then, the golden wings behind him slashed down, and the ice sculpture directly turned into large chunks of ice slag and exploded.
The fire crystals scattered like shooting stars, and Qingyin and the others, who followed closely behind, smiled and swept away all the fire crystals.
Who wouldn't like this kind of thing, where they didn't have to exert any effort and could still get benefits?
The other demon cultivators were immediately stunned.
Who is this guy?
How is that treasure mirror so powerful!
Long Aotian and Feng'e also noticed the situation here and turned to look.
Long Aotian narrowed his eyes: "Zong Jue? The Kunpeng Clan!"
Feng'e's eyes lit up when she saw this.
This treasure mirror is really a good thing. If I could have this treasure to help me, I would definitely be able to quickly obtain the fire spirit. She immediately cast a spell and shouted loudly, "Fellow Daoist, would you lend me a hand? I am willing to exchange it for an equivalent treasure!"
Before Qin Qipeng could react, Long Aotian's face darkened.
This kid dares to compete with me for a woman?
He's really courting death!
His gaze fell on the Profound Yin Treasure Mirror in Qin Qipeng's hand, and he sneered in his heart: "Isn't he just relying on this treasure? If that's the case, I'll just snatch it!"
He was not a kind person, and he acted without restraint.
So what if he's from the Kunpeng Clan? As long as it's something that I, Long Aotian, have taken a fancy to, it's all mine!
He instantly abandoned the fire demon, his figure turned into a black streamer, and he rushed straight towards Qin Qipeng, his dragon claw covered with black scales grabbing fiercely towards the top of Qin Qipeng's head.
