**[My Senior Brother is Super Strong.] Chapter 60**
The two of them walked forward while talking.
The scenery along the road gradually changed.
At first, it was full of spring, with lush trees and many flowers and plants.
However, as they went deeper, the temperature of the land gradually rose, and the leaves turned yellow and scorched black.
The surrounding white mist thickened.
This white mist could even isolate spiritual consciousness, making it difficult to explore deeply.
The smell of sulfur hung in the air.
Xiao Ye looked at the surrounding environment and couldn't help but ask, "Second Senior Brother, are we there yet?"
Lu Chen looked into the distance. The sky in that direction was red, and thick smoke was rising.
The surrounding temperature increased, and the air became dry.
Wherever she looked, everything was red.
The remains of burning trees lay on the ground, giving a sense of solemnity.
Further away, there was a vast expanse, and nothing more could be seen.
Lu Chen nodded. "Yes, this is the fire attribute area in the Five Elements Secret Realm."
Xiao Ye asked, "What should we do?"
"Second Senior Brother, have you ever explored this place before?"
Lu Chen shook his head.
He mostly stayed at home and explored secret places only a few times.
This was his first time in the Five Elements Secret Realm.
Lu Chen said, "Didn't Senior Sister Xia Yu say anything?"
"Just find the Fire Lord here and kill him."
"We can look for it slowly."
There are five lords in the area, each corresponding to one of the five elements.
They are similar to the formation eyes; once they are recruited and killed, the area will be conquered.
Xiao Ye muttered, "Which one is the Lord?"
"What it looks like? Senior Sister Xia Yu won't tell you."
Lu Chen said, "The Lord has no fixed form. It may be a stone, a tree, or a ferocious beast."
"This is all common sense. Haven't you read the book?"
Xiao Ye shook her head. "No."
"I prefer shopping over reading."
She saw Lu Chen looking at her with contempt.
Xiao Ye stuck out her tongue. "Aren't you here, Second Senior Brother?"
"With you here, I don't have to worry so much."
Lu Chen sneered, "In that case, you will take the lead this time."
"If you don't study, then learn from practice."
Xiao Ye's face suddenly turned bitter. "Second Senior Brother, I'm afraid."
"You are afraid; after all, you are at the ninth level of the Qi refining stage. The monsters here are generally not stronger than the foundation building stage."
"The Lord is only at the golden elixir stage at most. With me here, what are you afraid of?"
"Fight more and strive to break through in the battle."
"In this exploration of the secret realm, you should strive to break through and enter the foundation-building stage."
Xiao Ye reacted, her eyes widening. "Second Senior Brother, is this why you brought me here?"
Lu Chen smiled and said nothing.
Xiao Ye looked at him with eyes full of admiration.
"I thought—"
"What do you think?" Lu Chen asked. "Do you think I brought you here as an excuse not to come myself?"
Xiao Ye bit her lip and nodded. Yes, she did think so.
She came out of the sword cave, and although she understood the sword intent, she had only just broken through to the ninth level of Qi refining.
But she still needed a little more before she could enter the foundation-building stage.
After all, it would take some time to practice before reaching perfection.
Even with the help of pills, it would still take a month or two.
Unexpectedly, Lu Chen did not give up and still thought about the agreement with Ji Yan to understand the sword intent within two months.
Entering the foundation building period.
"It's just the foundation-building period. As long as you understand enough, you can break through at any time."
Xiao Ye was moved and said, "Second Senior Brother, you are so kind to me."
Lu Chen snorted, "I will not return the spirit stone that my senior brother gave me."
Xiao Ye's emotion suddenly disappeared.
She turned away angrily.
Such a Second Senior Brother was really unbearable.
Lu Chen said, "Let's go, cheer up, and be careful."
"There's always danger here."
Xiao Ye felt unhappy and waved her sword. "Hmph! If they dare to come, I will kill them."
After she finished speaking, she noticed a stone on the ground and kicked it hard.
The charred stone flew away, but it was accompanied by a croak.
"Quack!"
A toad with scorched skin on its back, a red belly, and bulging cheeks appeared.
Xiao Ye screamed, "What is this?"
Lu Chen introduced it lightly: "This is a fire toad. Its strength is probably in the middle of the Qi refining stage. It is poisonous."
When Xiao Ye heard that it was weaker than herself, she immediately felt contempt.
She huffed, "It's just a fire toad, a hot chicken."
After saying that, she raised her finger at the fire toad, looking down on it.
The fire toad's cheeks bulged, and its eyes stared at Xiao Ye.
Seeing Xiao Ye daring to provoke it...
"Quack!"
It yelled, opened its mouth toward her, and sprayed a stream of venom directly into Xiao Ye's face.
Xiao Ye easily dodged.
The venom hit the ground, making a sizzling sound and emitting white smoke.
"So poisonous!"
Xiao Ye was startled; looking at the deep pit, she gritted her teeth in anger.
"You want to bully me too?"
"Joke!"
Xiao Ye rushed forward angrily and kicked the fire toad hard in the stomach.
The fire toad rolled its eyes and was kicked away like a ball, leaving a series of frog cries behind.
Xiao Ye clapped her hands proudly. "How dare you, a mere fire toad, be arrogant in front of me?"
She turned around and saw that Lu Chen was hiding far away.
"Second Senior Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Lu Chen's voice came over, "I forgot to tell you one thing. Fire toads live in groups, and they also hold grudges."
After Lu Chen finished speaking, several angry frog calls sounded again.
The charred stones around him seemed to come to life one after another—more fire toads were appearing.
At a glance, they were densely packed, countless.
Xiao Ye's scalp went numb. When she wanted to run, she found that she was surrounded.
"Second Senior Brother, help!"
Xiao Ye shouted loudly.
Lu Chen said, "You deal with them."
"Aren't you talking about a mere fire toad being a hot chicken?"
"These hotheads shouldn't be able to do anything to you."
"Come on!"
Xiao Ye looked at Lu Chen and found that he had found a place to sit down leisurely.
He took out a plate of boiled beans from his storage ring and was eating them happily while chatting with Xiao Hong.
Xiao Ye was about to vomit blood.
Are you planning to watch a show from a distance?
Xiao Ye shouted, "Second Senior Brother, stop playing with me."
Lu Chen said, "I'm not joking. You handle it yourself. Don't think that I will save you."
"Fuck! Silly bird! If you want to eat, peel it yourself!"
With no hope left, Xiao Ye was about to cry but had no tears.
At this time, there was another frog cry, and the surrounding fire toads began to attack.
