Ascension

Chapter 160 The Stolen Fire Mercenary Group

Lan'e Town, Underground Mine, District [-].

After a day of absence, the space around the Fire Elephant Tree expanded dozens of times.

Referring to the hemispherical pits on the wall, there are also large areas of burnt and scorched black areas.

It is not difficult to guess that Yan Dozi must have gone into a rage and killed waves of snoopers, leading to the current situation.

"Wow!!"

A leopard rushed out, as light as a swallow, very fast.

It has white body hair and yellow markings. When it raises its head and roars, a dazzling golden light blooms all over its body, like a sun rising suddenly.

"Roar!"

"Meow!"

"Gah!"

The chaotic spirits roared in unison, and the group closest to them were forced to stop fighting.

They retreated in panic, some closed their eyes and could not open them at all;

Some eyes were blurred, tears kept flowing out, and they were forced to open, but it was still difficult to identify the direction;
"Shining Leopard... Is there anyone who cultivates such a fancy spirit? It's too late for Leopard..."

"Trouble! This guy's favored master is 100% an old Yinbi, and his signature skill is "dazzle the whole audience"! "

"Brothers, do it! This guy is so disgusting! You can't keep him!"

People from all walks of life gathered near the fire tree.

The largest number are naturally the law enforcers.

However, the severe injuries and deaths of several patrolmen shattered the situation that was supposed to maintain stability.

The law enforcers who came later were scattered in twos and threes, trying their best to fight against the intruders.

The appearance of the Shining Leopard... caused public outrage!
This demonic spirit with light element is not good at hand-to-hand combat and has a rather fragile physique.

But as long as it participates in a battle, it will always be a troublemaker. If it is not maimed or killed, everyone's vision will be affected.

"Srustling—"

In the chaos, a grimace moth flying with its eyes closed sprinkled dust on the several guards who were being protected.

It was the "Frightening Powder", which was propelled by the "strong wind" and fell on them all at once.

"Spiritual poisonous powder! Be careful, everyone!"

"It's above us! Ajie, go and shoot it down!"

Chen Mai held up a shield with an ugly expression on his face.

His body was not injured.

But the Contracted Familiar Cave Frog was seriously injured and fainted, and he, the Familiar Lord, had no fighting power.

The only thing that can be done is to mobilize troops, arrange troops and do their best to repel the enemy.

"Yes!"

A knight with a flying spirit rushed over quickly.

The Grimace Moth flapped its wings, circled half a circle, and began to play a game of chase and escape in mid-air.

On the other side, Shining Leopard Gundam's 266-pattern "Blinding the Audience" finished casting and entered the cooldown period.

It also began to run away, running lightly near the fire tree, spitting out light bombs from time to time, repeatedly attracting the attention of others.

"Boom!!"

A giant python burst out of the ground, and Chen Mai rolled sideways and ran wildly.

But Lu Wu next to him was not so lucky. He had difficulty getting up, and was thrown away by the python's tail.

In front of everyone, he drew a beautiful parabola, landed on his butt, rolled his eyes, and passed out completely as a mouthful of blood spurted out.

"Liyou! Take Lu Wu out of here!"

"He no longer has the ability to fight. If he continues to stay here, he will not only be a burden, he will die at any time!"

Chen Mai shouted loudly, and a wind leopard galloped over.

Hao Liyou, who was sitting on the top, carried the muscular Lu Wu with great difficulty, and the two of them escaped through a passage.

"That's not a python! That's a big snake vine! Get away from its attack area! Quick!!"

A warrior wearing a helmet and armor was hit in the waist by a vine whip before he finished speaking.

His armor looked very thick, but it couldn't resist the force of a whip.

The appearance of a serious dent caused his body to move forward for more than ten steps, and he almost fell to the ground, stopping with his face.

“It’s a really good-growing tree, very energetic~~~”

A little girl appeared in the center surrounded by big snake vines.

Correspondingly, she also stood next to the fire tree.

She stretched out her hand, not afraid of being burned, and touched the trunk of the Fire Elephant Tree, with a friendly smile on her face.

"Be good, come with me!"

"Although I will dig out the heart of your tree, I will keep your roots. I will work hard to keep you white and fat as long as I live!"

"Shhh!!"

The big snake vine attacks and knocks away the big hedgehog that rushes towards it.

Another big bird swooped down without any hesitation. The big snake vine circled the owner's periphery like a chain, forming a circular protective ring.

"Dangdangdang!"

The big bird failed to break through and was almost caught by the vine whip when it came back up.

This frightened it, and it hovered in the sky, not daring to attack randomly.

"Xiazhao Dacheng's big snake vine! Brothers, we can't let her succeed! We must focus the fire!"

Mao Maochong shouted, trying to boost the momentum of his teammates.

But the peat deer in front of him trembled suddenly and turned around, with a ball of shaking flame reflected in his eyes.

"Ok?"

Mao Maochong turned around quickly.

Before he could see clearly what was behind him, the protective jade token shattered, and his whole body flew out without control.

"The petals of the Fire Elephant Tree are already yours in the Blue Eel Town. I can't compete with you, so I won't compete."

"But who dares to block my way with the body of the fire tree...don't blame me for being rude!"

A gloomy voice resounded in the noisy space, as cold as ice.

But when the law enforcers in the fight took a quick glance, what they saw was a blazing fire.

"Roar!"

A ferocious beast stomps on the ground, its upper body raised upwards, so majestic.

It was a big tiger, with the king character on its forehead as bright as gold, reflecting the bear-like size and the fierce flames all over its body. It was as powerful as a hill and unstoppable.

"Red Flame Tiger? It's actually the Red Flame Tiger?!"

"I know! I remembered it! You are the "Fire Stealing Mercenary Group" that suddenly appeared recently!There are only four people, but they can complete a task that more than a dozen people cannot complete!It’s in full swing! "

"Roar!!"

As if in response to this voice, the Red Flame Tiger opened its bloody mouth, roared, and pounced forward.

"what!!"

The peat deer's earthen wall blocked it for a moment before being smashed into pieces by the tiger's paw.

Mao Maochong almost lost his mind. He glanced at his burning back and hair from the corner of his eye. He tore his clothes frantically and rolled all over the ground.

"Red Flame."

With a soft cry, the Red Flame Tiger stopped and slowly lowered its raised paw.

It glared at Mao Maochong with ferocious eyes, then turned around and rushed towards the other person.

The person chosen as the target is not a law enforcer, but a hunter who sneaks in and wants a piece of the action.

His expression suddenly changed, and the iron eagle beside him stretched out its wings, trying to resist.

"boom!!"

Fiery fire was like a pillar, spitting out onto the iron sculpture.

Within a few seconds, it couldn't stand the high temperature, and with a shrill scream, it struggled backwards.

"Retreat! Without the top combat power of the second level, we are no match for him!"

Under the protection of his guards, Chen Mai retreated to a passage entrance a hundred meters away.

No matter how much he was unwilling to give up and repeatedly compared the gap between the enemy and ourselves, he could not find the possibility of matching.

"The Fire Stealing Mercenary Group...Lanyu Town will remember this account!"

"After all, we are also a local town in the Blue Frog Country. If you dare to rob our treasures, you are going against the entire Blue Frog Country!"

Another patrolman named Zheng Yun cursed loudly.

"Whoosh!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Grimace Moth swooped down, its sharp wings aimed at his neck.

"when!"

The guard blocked him in time, and Chen Mai quickly pressed down on Zheng Yun's shoulders, signaling him not to engage in unnecessary verbal disputes.

The owner of the Red Flame Tiger, the mysterious man covered in a fiery red shirt, glanced coldly and remained silent.

But the red flame tiger, who was understanding of human nature, realized that his master was being threatened, and roared in a low voice, and the fierce flames rising on his body increased.

"It's okay."

The mysterious man comforted him, and the red flame tiger bared his teeth and suppressed his anger.

"Boss, it's done!"

Agu jumped up and down, riding on the head of the big snake vine.

The tail of the big snake vine is wrapped around the complete fire tree, dragging it forward.

"Go, it's not suitable to stay here for long."

After saying hello, the mysterious man turned over and sat on the back of the red flame tiger. He randomly chose a passage with no one around and rushed in.

The Serpent Vine, the Grimace Moth, the Shining Leopard... and their master followed closely behind, and quickly evacuated under the watchful eyes of everyone.

"Senior Chen, the Fire Elephant Tree has been stolen. Will Mayor Cui blame him..."

"She has already obtained the petals. This tree is dispensable to her. How to get rid of that Homura Doji's entanglement is the key."

Chen Mai shook his head, suddenly his expression changed, and he asked the guard next to him:

"Where does the passage that the Fire Stealing Mercenary Group...leave from lead to?"

"It seems, maybe, probably..."

The guard looked around, trying his best to identify the tattered battlefield. After a while, he answered in an uncertain voice:
"As long as they don't take the wrong path, it should be leading to the third area, right?"

"Not good!" Chen Mai was shocked, "Quick! Are there any Agile Attack Familiar spirits that have retained their physical strength and are in good condition? Go ahead and notify them!"

"Little brother Ren, guard over there! He is an elite student from the South Campus of Canghai Pavilion. I'm just afraid that something unexpected will happen to him, so I don't dare to let him come to the center to defend!"

"With his unparalleled fighting spirit, if he ran into Pirate Fire, his life would be in danger! We can't let him die in vain!"

"What... the south courtyard of Canghai Pavilion..."

The guard's eyes were distracted and he couldn't help but murmured:

"The leader of the Stolen Fire Mercenary Group is definitely as powerful as the patrol..."

"I'm afraid it's too late to inform you now... How can there be any brothers who are strong enough..."

……

blah blah-

blah blah-

The red flame tiger leads the way, the shiny leopard is in the middle, and the big snake vine is at the end.

As for the Grimace Moth, it was flying at low altitude with a thin woman with blue hair in its arms.The four people evacuated at extremely fast speeds.

There was no intention of taking a detour, just take the widest main road.

"Ugh..."

The Red Flame Tiger suddenly stopped and roared forward.

"Shh-"

Under the fiery red halo, Ren Wokuang, who was standing with his arms folded, opened his eyes. He was nearly [-] meters tall and looked down at the four people from a high position.

"Boss..."

Hu Dai, the owner of the Shining Leopard, raised the crossbow in his hand, looking alert.

Ren Wo Kuang's blood energy fluctuated, comparable to that of a savage beast.

Just standing there gives off a slight sense of oppression, which is definitely not a good thing.

"Roar!"

The summoning array pattern flashed, and the muscular zombie stood in front of Ren Wokuang.

It was taller and stronger, like a mountain in humanoid form.

With a roar, he hit the ground with his feet, clenched his fists, and instantly entered a fighting state.

"You are no match for us, why put yourself in danger?"

The leader of the Fire Stealing Mercenary Group, a man nicknamed Fire Stealing, his red eyes hidden under the brim of his hat flickered softly.

"I know you, the new king of the North Court of Canghai Pavilion, have now been promoted to the South Court."

"Get away, the guards can't do anything to me. Blocking the car with my hands is just ruining my future."

"Oh?" Ren Wo raised his eyebrows wildly, "Your Excellency actually knows Ren? This is a bit strange."

Pirates of Fire remained silent and patted the Red Flame Tiger on the head.

"Roar!"

The fire-ridden tiger opened its mouth and spat out a stream of red flames, which flew past Ren Wokuang's head.

With a bang, the rock wall behind Renwo Kuang exploded, with gravel splashing and dust flying.

To this...Ren Wo Kuang didn't even blink.

His copper-bell-sized eyes were always facing the four people and four beasts.

The strong fighting spirit permeated the whole body, never decreasing downwards, but always rising upwards.

"You have good courage, but you are too young. Go back and practice for another year or two, and then come and fight with me."

Pirates of Fire said lightly and waved his right hand.

Ah Gu understood the idea and immediately asked the big snake vine to put down the fire tree temporarily, and then crawled towards the muscle zombie.

"Fizz!"

The serpent vine is indeed a monster transformed from a plant.

Although it is not particularly agile, it can move freely like a python. With its tough vines and tenacious vitality, it is the most difficult to deal with.

"Roar!!"

Let Wolang activate "Boiling Blood" immediately.

It can sense the strength of the enemy and is at its strongest when it comes up.

"war!"

With a low roar, I spurted out a mouthful of blood, and my whole body's breath suddenly dropped.

Let Wolang spare no effort, but as a favored master, he actually started with desperate moves.

"Srustling—"

The word "strong" flew off the muscular zombie's back, like a seal being knocked off.

Ren Wolang's body swelled, and his muscles bulged again. He raised his arms and punched, with the potential of a thunderous strike.

"Be careful."

Pirates of Fire's eyes narrowed and he solemnly reminded.

"Hehe~~ I haven't lived for so many years in vain~~ Can't you still handle a stupid boy?"

As early as when Ah Gu activated "Boiling Blood" in Renwolang, an energy water ball appeared in the palm of his hand.

What was sloshing around in the water ball was originally just a sky-blue translucent liquid.

She put her finger in, and the liquid immediately turned red, from light red to scarlet in the blink of an eye.

"Snake, treat it well~~~"

"Hiss!" The big snake vine hissed, with high morale.

E-level authority - "Nurturer"!
Active power——"Violent Fluid"!
"puff!"

The water ball broke, blood splashed on the body of the big snake vine, and the hidden life energy rushed straight into the body.

In an instant, the body of the large snake vine intertwined with dark green vines glowed with a scarlet light visible to the naked eye.

It seems that at this moment, it is no longer a "python", but a "dragon", or even a "dragon"!
"Hoohoo!"

The big snake vine pounced, and dozens of vine whips were twisted into one force and smashed down hard.

On the opposite side, the muscular zombies were shrouded in blood mist, rushing towards them, and with every step they took, the rocky ground would fall apart.

"boom!!!"

Vine whip versus barbarian fist, the center of the collision burst out with sound.

The nearby walls and floors were only slightly affected, and then peeled off layer by layer like fragile pieces of paper.

"Oh!"

The big snake vine's vine whip exploded into powder, and the main body let out a muffled groan and flew backwards dozens of meters away.

The muscular zombie stood on the spot, with its taut iron fist, blood mist rising, unstoppable.

"Really great."

"It's only been a while since you were promoted to South Campus, and you've actually made a small breakthrough in your rank. It won't be long before you can stir up trouble in South Campus and create your own legend."

Pirates of Fire stretched out his hands and clasped his hands three times, and the crisp sound echoed in the mine and spread far and wide.

His voice was calm, and his red eyes watched as the big snake vine slowly climbed up and swam back to its master little by little.

Obviously, for the tenacious Orochi Vine, although the strongest blow was defeated, it was only moderately injured, far from fatal...

As for the muscle zombie "Let Me Wave", he used "boiling blood" and "exploding muscles" at the same time. That moment of arrogance was followed by irreversible decline after one punch.

"Get out of the way, I don't want to hurt your life."

Pirates of Fire's eyes were blazing, and although his voice was dull, he was as majestic as a team leader from beginning to end.

"Hehe~~ The boss is much stronger than me~~ You can't be his opponent~~~"

Agu rode on the back of the big snake vine, pouring another green energy water ball into its body, and said with a smile.

"That's fine." Ren Wo Kuang's sluggish blood suddenly stopped and he gave way to the right.

"This is right~~~"

Ah Guqiao smiled brightly, her watery eyes wandering, but the next second, her smile suddenly froze.

At some point, a black shadow appeared in the passage behind Ren Wo Kuang.

The black shadow squirmed slightly and transformed into a human form.

He has a well-proportioned figure and a long scar on his face, which makes him look a bit ferocious.

But this is not the point. The point is that this person is leaning against the wall of the main passage in a lazy posture, with his hands in his pockets, giving people a very casual feeling.

"Oh?" Pirates of Fire narrowed his eyes slightly, "It turns out there is another person..."

"I was just paying attention to you, but I didn't notice that there was a little mouse nearby..."

"little mouse?"

Hearing such a title, Ye Hanjun raised his head and said with great interest:
"I wonder if you have ever heard of the title of "Fire Stealer"? "

"D-class power "Fire Thief", the rarity level tends to be higher among D-class. "

"Once developed, the combat ability of this authority is also the first in the same authority level. It is probably a common thing to take the contracted spirit to fight across levels."

"I just don't know, is there any inner connection between your fire-stealing mercenary group and this "fire-stealer" with the same name? "

"..."

The four members of the Fire Stealing Mercenary Group fell silent for a moment.

Whether it’s the Shining Leopard’s Familiar Hu Dai, the Grimace Moth’s Familiar Raspberry, or the Serpent Vine’s Familiar Agu.

One man and two women lost all forms of smiles, their faces gradually darkened, and their eyes glowed coldly.

"Who are you? You know a lot more than ordinary people."

Pirates of Fire stretched out a hand to signal his teammates to be calm.

His scorching eyes gave up on letting me go crazy and stared at Lord Ye Han closely.

As if unaware, Lord Ye Han exerted force on his back, gave a slight push, and walked towards the four people and four beasts quite casually.

"Let me be crazy, let me ask you something."

"It has been some time since you were promoted to the South Academy. Have you ever heard that there are relatively famous fire magic apprentices or fire magicians in the academy?"

"Huh?" Ren Wokuang was slightly stunned, lowered his head and thought for a few seconds, then hesitantly said: "It seems not."

"However, if you don't count the current Canghai Pavilion, but look at the past few years, there is a senior student from the South College who is so amazing that he rushed to the top with the title of E-level fire-type "Magic Apprentice". The position of the Ten Pride. "

"And his ranking was very high. He was ranked second at his peak. Looking at the entire school, only the top three heroes and the top ten heroes at that time could surpass him. Everyone else had to fall behind and be under his light..."

"It's interesting." Ye Hanjun smiled and said, "Others may not know, but I know a little bit."

"D-class "Fire Thief" has never been a function that can be awakened by oneself. "

"Just like the mutation of the samsara, some powers will also undergo deeper changes due to various factors, allowing operations similar to 'job change' to be realized in advance."

"The "Fire Thief" can only be obtained under two circumstances. "

"Either an E-level fire-based "Magic Apprentice" or a D-level fire-based "Magician." "

"The steps involved include an ancient and complex transformation ritual."

"Of course, rituals only account for 10% of the importance. It depends more on one's own luck."

"Once you succeed, you will be reborn and reborn."

"If it fails, then the body will die, the Tao will disappear, and the body and soul will be destroyed."

"I wonder if the content I heard is true or false, do you think?"

"..."

Pirates of Fire didn't answer, just smiled.

The next moment, he waved his right hand and his voice suddenly turned cold:

"Chi Yan, kill them!"

"Roar(╬◣д◢)!!"

The red flame tiger roared and charged forward.

It raised its thick tiger palm, and the flames on the tip of the palm were breathtaking. When it opened and closed, it displayed invincible power.

"Fizz!"

"Susususu!"

"Woooo!"

The big snake vine, the grimace moth, the shiny leopard, and the three spirits followed closely behind and surrounded them from three directions, threatening to cut off the two people's way out.

"You can't hold your breath anymore?"

Ye Hanjun pulled back and his smile became brighter.

"Hua Zhu, it's your turn."
