The scorching field had been open for decades, and even a few Beast Emperors had been killed. Naturally, there were a large number of spirit teams walking around here.
"Our main mission this time is to go to the marked location and hunt a mutated fire vine vicious beast. At the same time, we will collect some resources on the way."
He Ning walked in front and said in a low voice, "If you encounter a powerful vicious beast, don't try to fight it. Just run if you can."
The Crystal Ape walked in front of everyone and used its huge arms to push aside the vegetation to prevent any vicious beast from ambushing them.
On Guan Yueyue's shoulder, the kingfisher closed its eyes, and its body was constantly emitting a soft green light.
The kingfisher's scouting skill consumed physical energy. Its scouting ability should naturally be used during a critical moment, not on a safer road.
Ye Haoran and Yu Fa walked at the back of the group. Ye Haoran's throat was glowing with golden light, ready to deal with any sudden attacks from the beasts.
If anyone dared to provoke him, he would stun them with a loud roar and then kill them.
"Huh? Are those Golden Scale fruits?"
Ye Haoran suddenly looked at a tree not far away that was covered in golden fruits and was astonished. Then, he hurriedly said to He Ning, who was leading the way, "Brother He, I'm going to pick some Golden Scale fruits. Please wait a moment."
He Ning stopped in his tracks and looked at that tree, his eyes full of doubt.
Although the Golden Scale fruit was useless to humans, it was very useful to vicious beasts. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be so many of them in such a remote place.
"Wait, something's not right."
He Ning stretched out his hand to stop Ye Haoran, and then looked at Guan Yueyue.
Guan Yueyue immediately understood his intention. The kingfisher on her shoulder opened its eyes and cried out softly. Invisible energy fluctuations enveloped the tree.
Half a minute later, Guan Yueyue shook her head, indicating that she did not find anything unusual.
The group slowly walked towards the tree.
"What a huge tree," Ye Haoran commented with a sigh.
When he got closer, he realized that the tree was very thick, its girth the length of three people's outstretched arms.
Ye Haoran reached out and picked a fruit. Looking at the scale-like wrinkles on it, he nodded in satisfaction.
He had come to the alternate dimension to search for this, but he did not expect to find so many on the first day.
Just as he was about to pick the second one, he suddenly froze.
"Brother He, do Golden Scale fruits blink?"
Ye Haoran looked at the fruit, which had a pair of red eyes, and doubted what he was seeing.
"Blink? Be careful, come back quickly!" He Ning shouted the moment he heard Ye Haoran's question.
Upon hearing this, Ye Haoran turned around and ran, not forgetting to release a Dragon's Roar.
Roar!
Golden light rippled, and the tree that was originally full of fruits cracked inch by inch like a broken mirror under the impact of the light wave, revealing its true appearance.
It was a thin, crooked tree with only four or five fruits hanging on it.
Where Ye Haoran saw a pair of eyes, a red bird with flames all over its body was constantly shaking its head to shake off the dizziness.
The bird was half a meter long and emitted a strong aura.
"It's a Flamingo! Quickly, assemble!" He Ning shouted. At the same time, he commanded the Crystal Ape to support Ye Haoran.
Swoosh!
The Flamingo regained its consciousness and screeched at Ye Haoran. It turned into a flash of fire and rushed over towards him.
Ye Haoran turned his head and his eyes widened. A dazzling flame was right in front of him, and a scorching heat wave was blowing in his face.
Roar!
Bang!
A thick crystal barrier instantly appeared above his head. The Crystal Ape arrived in the nick of time and released a skill to block the attack.
The Flamingo's attack was unsuccessful, so it immediately chose to distance itself. It gazed at the group from a distance with a cold stare.
The Crystal Ape lowered its barrier. Ye Haoran looked at the barrier and saw that it was covered in dense cracks. It looked like it was on the verge of breaking.
"Are you alright?"
He Ning and the others ran to his side and looked at the Flamingo. Their expressions were somewhat grave.
"I miscalculated. I should have known that there would be vicious beasts guarding this tree," said He Ning, a trace of self-blame in his eyes. "I really didn't expect that there would be low intermediate rank vicious beasts in the outer area. This doesn't make sense."
"Now is not the time to talk about this," said Guan Yueyue as she looked vigilantly at the Flamingo that was wandering around in the distance. She continued, "This feathered bastard is very vengeful. He'll come back."
Before she could finish her sentence, the low intermediate rank Flamingo rushed over again, swooping down with flames.
"You think that I am a pushover, don't you?"
Ye Haoran frowned and immediately used Dragon's Roar.
The swooping Flamingo's vision suddenly turned dark. Its charge suddenly slowed down, and it fell straight to the ground.
This was a good opportunity!
He Ning waved his hand, and the Crystal Ape let out an angry roar. It jumped up and came crashing down on the Flamingo with great momentum.
Boom!
The ground trembled three times, and a cloud of dust rose from the place where it landed.
Ye Haoran speculated that the bird's f*cking intestines were going to be smashed out!
The Crystal Ape jumped a few more times on the spot and smashed the Flamingo deeper into the ground.
"It's still breathing, but it's seriously injured. Be careful and stay alert," Guan Yueyue reminded everyone as she commanded the kingfisher to detect the life force of the Flamingo.
Previously, the Flamingo had used its camouflage skill to conceal its aura. Furthermore, it was of the same level as the kingfisher, so it had not been detected. However, it was different now.
The Flamingo had been spreading the flames on its body in exasperation, so it was easy to detect its aura.
"Come back!"
He Ning waved his hand and recalled the Crystal Ape. The Flamingo had burrowed into the ground. The ape had already lost its target, so there was no point staying where it was.
Gulp. Gulp. Gulp.
The ground nearby suddenly began to boil, and a small patch of lava suddenly formed. The Flamingo with blazing flames all over its body suddenly burst out of the ground, and it flapped its wings at the group.
Immediately, a large amount of lava sprayed over them, as if it was raining lava.
Roar!
The Crystal Ape raised a barrier, blocking off the attack.
Outside the barrier, the Flamingo flew high up again, its eyes shining with a fiery red glow.
He Ning and the others were on guard, preparing to deal with the Flamingo's last-ditch counterattack.
Ye Haoran's eyes darted around, and he secretly transmitted his spiritual power to the goldfish.
Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!
The Flamingo screeched a few times, then flicked its tail and ran away.
However, to its surprise, just as it turned its head, a dragon's tail whipped out at it, stirring up a strong wind.
Swoosh! Slap!
The flames on the severely injured Flamingo's wings were immediately extinguished by the slap, and it fell to the ground like a piece of rotten wood.
He Ning pulled out the long sword on his waist and suddenly threw it out, accurately cutting off the Flamingo's neck.
"Bravo!"
Ye Haoran gave him a thumbs up. His sword-throwing skill was not bad!
Ye Haoran walked over and skillfully extracted the Flamingo's inner core, then cut off its tail.
Vicious beasts above the intermediate rank would carry special materials with it. These materials could be used by a spiritualist after some refinement.
One could learn skills from these materials and they were considered precious items.
"Student Ye, how did you know it was going to run away?" Guan Yueyue walked over and asked curiously.
The Flamingo looked like it was going all out and did not have any intention of running away.
"I didn't dig up its ancestral grave, nor did I steal its things. It's not stupid, so why would it fight me to the death? "
Ye Haoran played with the inner core and replied casually, "I could tell from the look in its eyes. I could see its desire to run away."
Guan Yueyue chuckled and said in a low voice, "Don't tell me you're using yourself as a reference?"
"Don't be so evil and fabricate stories about me."
