This was not a laughing matter. Fire could consume everything. The only thing it was afraid of was water. Therefore, Tang Sen would be extinguished if it rained too heavily! However, everything in the surrounding area had been burnt to ashes by him. He had nowhere to take shelter from the rain!
The place where he found the magical green fruit previously was too far away from his current location. He would not be able to reach it in time.
Sizzle~
When the raindrops fell on Tang Sen, it felt as if someone had gouged a piece of flesh from him. The pain was excruciating.
'Is this really possible? I just wanted to burn everything in sight. Am I about to be extinguished?'
"System, is there any way to escape from this rain? If I die, you'll be gone too!" At his wits' end, Tang Sen had no choice but to ask the system for help.
"The Host may summon a Spiritual Beast, which can bring you somewhere safe. Would the Host like to summon it?" The System's response was unhurried. It didn't seem worried that Tang Sen might be extinguished.
"Summon, summon! Hurry!" Tang Sen was in excruciating pain. The system should have told him about the summon earlier. If he didn't summon a beast immediately, he might not have a chance to do so anymore.
In a few seconds, accompanied by the howling wind, a Spiritual Beast flew to Tang Sen.
"Fiery Hawk, Level One Spiritual Beast. It flies extremely fast and lives where it's scorching hot."
Spiritual Beasts were different from regular beasts. Spiritual Beasts had evolved to possess spiritual awareness. They had especially strong attacks. If a cultivator had a Spiritual Beast, their combat prowess would double.
Spiritual Beasts could also enter a blood pact with cultivators. With a blood pact, both the cultivator's and the Spiritual Beast's abilities would be boosted. The speed at which they advanced would also be greatly increased.
This Fiery Hawk had entered a blood pact with a cultivator.
"It's huge, isn't it?" Tang Sen looked at the Fiery Hawk in front of him in shock. The hawk was as big as three to four people, and that was before it spread its wings! 'This Spiritual Beast has already entered a blood pact with someone else. If I leave with it, will that person end up extinguishing me by splashing a basin of water on me?'
However, Tang Sen had no time to worry so much. The rain was getting heavier, so he had to get away first.
Tang Sen flew into the distance under the cover of the Fiery Hawk's huge wings.
After a while, the Fiery Hawk stopped at a place where dozens of scattered houses were under a cliff. This was obviously a village.
"Host, you can use Energy Points to withstand the damage from raindrops. The resistance will last for two hours every 100 Energy Points."
Tang Sen had just hidden under the cliff when the system spoke. 'Are you teasing me? I have just hidden myself, yet it is only now that you tell me that Energy Points can be used to withstand the damage from raindrops. What were you doing earlier?'
Tang Sen couldn't be bothered to argue with it. His attention was now focused on the village in front of him. He was finally about to see a human!
After transmigrating, Tang Sen hadn't seen any humans. He felt a little excited.
"Divine Spirit, welcome to the Aquila Tribe. Thank you for summoning us. The Aquila Tribe will be at your service in the future!"
"Welcome, Divine Spirit!"
"Welcome, Divine Spirit!"
…
Tang Sen was just going to ask where the Flaming Hawk's owner was when an organized clamor came from nearby.
He saw over 100 people wearing animal skins and straw hats prostrating to him in the rain.
'What the heck?! Why are so many people prostrating to me?' Tang Sen was surprised. 'When did I become a god? Is it because of the Strength of Faith?'
Tang Sen didn't expect that people would be prostrating to him one day. For a while, he was at a loss. "Erm, get up. This Divine Spirit is just here to survey the area. Rise."
'This is so exciting! It isn't bad to enjoy the treatment afforded to an emperor.'
Despite Tang Sen's words, everyone remained motionless. They didn't even dare to lift their heads.
Tang Sen was at a loss for words when he saw that nobody had moved. The atmosphere suddenly became a bit awkward.
At this moment, the person kneeling right at the front crawled two steps forward and spoke. "Divine Spirit, this Saintess is an offering to you. We hope you will like her."
Immediately, a woman with only a few scraps of cloth protecting her modesty crawled over. The woman had lush hair, and her figure was very attractive. The parts that should protrude protruded, and the parts that should be curvy were curvy. In his past life's world, she would be an exceedingly alluring woman!
"Welcome, Divine Spirit. If you don't mind, I will be your personal maid from now on. I can meet all your needs…" The woman's voice was adorably sultry, like a lolita. It was obvious that she was young from her voice. Her tone was still a little shy.
'Isn't this the beautiful woman who would be presented to the emperor in the past? Did I warrant such treatment too?' Tang Sen trembled. His mind was filled with hate for the system. 'Even with such preferential treatment, I have still been turned into a flame! What a shame!'
"No need for a Saintess. This god has felt your sincerity. What are your wishes? Tell me now. I will try my best to fulfill them."
The Aquila Tribe had helped Tang Sen once, so he was beholden to them.
"This…" Everyone thought that Tang Sen was rejecting them. Although they said nothing, they were obviously crestfallen.
The atmosphere became embarrassing again. Tang Sen could barely stand it. 'These people are so troublesome!'
Swoosh!
At this moment, a sudden woosh was heard.
A sharpened bamboo stake swiftly flew through the air. It struck one of the Aquila Tribe's people and impaled him to the ground.
Upon seeing this, everyone in the Aquila Tribe panicked.
"Mighty Divine Spirit, please move back first. Our enemy, the Blood Python Tribe, is attacking! We will settle them before praying to you! The Blood Python Tribe has been coveting us for a long time. They want to annex us and enslave us. We would rather die than let that happen! Mighty Divine Spirit, watch us. We will not let you down!"
The man kneeling right in front spoke anxiously, but he still didn't dare stand up. In their eyes, Tang Sen was a Divine Spirit. Even if they had to die, they did not dare disrespect him!
The attack had come at the right time. Tang Sen was just wondering about how he could help the people when the opportunity presented itself immediately.
"Hide well and just watch." With that, Tang Sen flew out. After soaring into the air, Tang Sen saw 70 to 80 savages clad in green leaves inside the jungle next to him. They were staring at him and the others menacingly.
Next to them were quite a few pythons, which were as thick as a human being. Their bodies were red, and their tongues darted in and out. It was a somewhat horrifying sight.
"Aquila, today is the day your tribe will perish. You can still be slaves if you come out now; otherwise, you won't even have complete corpses!"
The Blood Python Tribe didn't notice Tang Sen in mid-air. They all stood up unanimously and shouted in unison. They had long prepared for this. By taking advantage of the heavy rain today, they were confident that they could take down the Aquila Tribe!
"Do your worst! Us Aquila have no fear!" Everyone in the Aquila Tribe was now standing. They were unafraid as they held weapons in their hands.
'Isn't it just a battle? What is all the fuss about? Won't it all be over if a fire burned everything?' Tang Sen would be setting himself up for a beating if he said something like this in his previous life. However, things were different since he now had the system!
Without further ado, Tang Sen sent out huge fireballs one after another. They fell on everyone in the Blood Python Tribe.
The Blood Python Tribe was different from wild beasts. Although the Fireball technique burned a few people to death, it was slow!
"Perhaps it's time to try the Blue Lotus Sword Song." Tang Sen calmed himself and manipulated his spiritual energy with his will. Raging energy surrounded him.
The air became blazing hot. Everyone in the Blood Python Tribe froze, surprised expressions appearing on their faces.
They originally lived in a humid place, and this gust of hot air caused their blood flow to speed up.
A blue lotus appeared around Tang Sen's body the next moment, rotating slowly. Every time it rotated, the air between heaven and earth became even more scorching.
"Blue Lotus Sword Song!" At Tang Sen's command, the blue lotus spun rapidly and exploded suddenly, sending out its energy in all directions.
Screams instantly ensued.
"Ah! This fire can't be extinguished!"
"Divine fire? The Aquila Tribe has help from a Divine Spirit!"
"Divine Spirit, spare us. We surrender to you!"
…
Desperate wails were heard. Everyone in the Blood Python Tribe had either died or fled.
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for burning a Blood Python Tribe Member. Energy Points +1,000."
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for burning a 100-year-old Spiritual Tree. Energy Points +976."
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for burning a Level One Spiritual Blood Python. Energy Points +867."
"Congratulations to the Host. The Blood Python Tribe acknowledges you as a Divine Spirit. Strength of Faith +100!"
"If the Strength of Faith reaches 1,000 points, a lottery will be made available. Come on, Host, try your best! The rewards are beyond the Host's imagination!"
