Chapter 117 Red Fire (skip)
The east, west and north sides of the Jiama Empire all bordered on the vast empire, but in the south, there was not even an accurate border line to be drawn.

This place is a thousand-mile wasteland with no human habitation at all, with only sparse cities dotted in some corners. There are even few active mercenaries here because there are no walking gold coins like the snake people in the desert.

"Even the imperial family knows very little about the situation in this wasteland. Apart from knowing that there are a group of small countries with fragmented territories on the other side of the wasteland, they know nothing else."

Xiao Yan was flipping through the things that Jia Xingtian had brought over, among which was a genealogy of all clans in the northwest continent, which contained a few fragmentary pieces of information about the south, but it was useless to say any more.

This stuff... was probably brought back by the Yunlan Sect after participating in the sect conference.

Even though the Yunlan Sect is in a very dire state now and can only produce one Douhuang at best, there are not many sects in the entire Northwest Continent that can have such strength.

Being able to have a seat at the sect conference can barely be considered a first-rate sect here.

"Hey... that wasteland can be considered a pure land for monsters."

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King bared his teeth and said, "Under the protection of several large groups of beasts living together, many low- and medium-level beasts have been able to survive the slaughter by humans and reproduce safely."

"With a huge number of bases and a powerful Magical Beast race, plus the thin energy of the heaven and earth in this place, it is far inferior to the Feng Shui treasure land like the Magical Beast Mountain Range. The several major empires simply gave up on this hard bone."

Pure land?
It is simply because the humans who occupied the precious land looked down on that kind of place, which gave the monsters a chance to survive.

There are many barren and desolate places like this in the corners of the continent, and almost all of the residents are monsters who were forced to relocate.

If we must talk about it, the territory of the snake people also came into being in this way, but because their relationship with the Warcraft was too bad, they were forced to live alone and bear the siege of the surrounding empires alone.

If we draw a large-scale map and include all nearby forces, we can find that the monsters have long been divided and surrounded by continuous human settlements, turning them into isolated territories of varying sizes.

"Perhaps in thousands of years, perhaps tens of thousands of years...sooner or later, the magical beasts in this world will lose their foothold and completely disappear in history."

Xiao Yan lowered his head and looked at the ground.

During the flight, they had not seen any human habitation for a long time, so they must be not far from the southern border of Gama.

"They have enough wisdom to form tribes and establish rules. Those monsters are probably born at the level of second or third level. If they could work together to expand outward, the surrounding empires would have been counterattacked long ago, right?"

Although Xiao Yan did not understand those Warcraft races, he understood the Jia Ma Empire.

As for the leaky appearance before… there is no need to exaggerate. Even if the Amethyst Winged Lion King before its evolution was thrown into the imperial capital, it would be able to cause a great turmoil.

What’s more, this is an organized and disciplined enemy from abroad.

It is extremely easy to gain living space from outside.

"Counterattack?"

The lion king blinked his eyes and said, "My lord, why should they go far away instead of near? Besides, only the tribes nearby can occupy the conquered land. Who would risk their lives for others..."

"Destroying an empire might attract many powerful Dou Zong masters to take action, but annexing the territory of a neighboring tribe would instantly double their power."

"There's only a small piece of land left, and yet they're still fighting among themselves."

Xiao Yan was speechless for a moment.

There does seem to be some reason why they are driven out to the wilderness to live a miserable life. What can they achieve with the status of only being able to bully others at home?
If that damn place was worth a little more, the so-called pure land would instantly turn into a battlefield between humans and beasts.

"The strength of the races in Douqi Continent is really unbalanced. If we don't take into account the additional factor of Zhu Kun, any one of the seven Doudi families will be slaughtered at random, and all the monsters tied together will not be able to withstand it."

Xiao Yan has already seen the bleak future of the Warcraft clan.

There is no hope, just wait for death.

……

"Old man! Hand over the things now!"
The wolves hiding in the shadows watched quietly. The wolf king, who was leading the group, spoke in a low voice, staring at the old fox opposite him: "Blood Source Grass is useless to you. You might as well give it to us. It can be considered a good relationship."

Although it was perceived that the old fellow opposite, who was already running out of time, might die at any time, he was still at the peak of Douhuang after hundreds of years of accumulation.

If he really had to fight to the death with his last breath, he would not be able to withstand such a thundering attack.

Even whether they can survive is a question.

"You, not yet."

The old fox raised his eyes tiredly, his fiery red fur had turned gray, almost changing color.

"Humph! Although I have only just entered the sixth level, you can see my talent. With the help of that blood source grass, I will definitely be able to awaken the blood of my ancestors and evolve successfully!"

The Wolf King paced back and forth in the open space, his scarlet eyes rarely showing a hint of sincerity: "When that time comes, the Red Fire Fox Clan that gave me the opportunity will also be able to get the protection of a true Dou Zong!"

"I mean..."

The old fox's eyes lit up with illusory flames: "With your current strength, you are far from qualified to ask for this treasure!"

Just as the words fell, a torrent of heat suddenly surged out of the Wolf King's body, burning all the fighting spirit along his meridians.

"You! Ahem..."

The wolf king screamed in panic, but flames continued to spew out of his mouth and nose. No matter how he used his fighting spirit, he could not put out the fire. It seemed that this strange beast fire was ignited out of thin air, and he could not find the source of the fire at all.

This old guy simply wants him dead!

"Do it, do it now!"

The wolf king's expression suddenly became ferocious, and as he raised his head and let out a long howl, many fourth- and fifth-level auras burst out at the same time, and all the wolves hiding in the shadows came out.

The battle spirit surged, and dozens of long-accumulated attacks overlapped and merged into one, transforming into a silver-gray light ball with a diameter of ten feet that rushed through the air.

So many strong men attacked together, and their similar energies made their attacks perfectly matched, pushing the power of this move to the extreme. Not to mention the peak Douhuang, even Douzong strongmen would probably look askance at this attack.

'If you don't accept my toast, I'll punish you!'

The wolf king's eyes were grim, as if he had seen the moment when the old man was exhausted.

How could someone like him, looking so frail and weak, easily withstand such a powerful attack?
"ended."

But just as he was full of confidence, at the moment when the ball of light was about to touch the fox, a deep sigh sounded from the depths of his soul, shattering the world in his eyes.

The fox, the fire in his eyes gradually extinguished, looked at them quietly.

'what? '

The wolf king hurriedly checked his body from top to bottom, then looked back to the left and right at his fellow tribesmen who had merged into the shadows.

There were no injuries, no flames, and no fighting.

"Is everything that happened just now... all fake?"

Realizing this, the Wolf King looked terrified, no longer showing his previous arrogance and confidence.

Maybe five breaths, maybe ten breaths, he just stood there defenseless. If the other party really wanted to kill him, this amount of time would be enough for him to die three or five times. I didn't expect the Red Fire Fox to have such a method. No wonder no one dared to provoke it even though it was in decline.

Attacks like these that go straight to the soul are extremely strange. There is no fluctuation of fighting spirit when they are released. Normally, we are used to fighting against those guys who use fighting skills, and we have no way to counter this kind of attack.

"Your talent is indeed strong. In my opinion, you can evolve successfully even without relying on this treasure. You should go and explore the world while you are still young and strong."

The old fox sighed and said, "If you are stuck at the Dou Zong bottleneck and cannot make any progress in the future, come here to look for opportunities again."

Just when the wolf king was confused and wanted to retreat.

It happened that the fox spoke at the right time, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief as he had a way out. He thanked him humbly, and the redness in his eyes faded a lot.

"I am a foolish young man. I have so much good time but I don't know how to cherish it. I only know how to seek help from external things. Thank you for your guidance! It saved me from wasting time on the wrong path."

After so many years in this wilderness, being able to bend and stretch is a basic skill.

It is now obvious that the other party is much stronger. If I don’t leave now, my life will really be lost here.

"Grandpa..."

A long time after the wolves had retreated, a few rustling noises were heard in the forest, and a few young foxes walked out: "Are you okay?"

"No problem~"

The old fox frowned and glanced at the foxes with a serious look, but he didn't get angry. He just asked with some dissatisfaction: "How did you guys get out? Who let you out?"

They had just had a fight with the neighboring tribe, and now there are few healthy fighting kings in the tribe who can be used. They can only rely on his old bones to fight for a few days and then protect the tribe for a few more days.

In that dangerous situation just now, if these guys had suddenly barged in, it would have been a big trouble.

"This……"

Several foxes looked at each other hesitantly, and finally a brave one answered: "It was a purple lion who asked us to come. I felt that he looked familiar just now. Maybe I have seen him a long time ago?"

…Purple?
lion!

"Amethyst Winged Lion King!"

The old fox suddenly perked up, a sharp light suddenly burst out in his eyes, almost flashing an image of a sword, and no one knew how deep his feelings for the Lion King were.

"That bastard who stole the blood source grass..."

Normally he wouldn't get angry easily, but when he thought of the lion swallowing an immature blood source grass whole, he became extremely furious.

That is a treasure left by the elders of the clan to the descendants!
That's how he was ruined...

"I didn't expect him to come back again. Isn't he afraid that our tribe will capture him?"

The old fox was so angry that his liver hurt, but he had no good way to deal with that guy. The soul oath that was hastily made at that time involved the participation of all members of the clan. He couldn't just expect the little guys to capture the sixth-level beast king, right?
Although even if you can do it, you may not be able to catch it.

Apart from the fact that their beast fire can evolve into realistic illusions, there is nothing else to praise about them.

It is true that all the adult individuals in the population can reach the fourth stage, but it is also true that their individual strength is too weak...

In a sense, they are like the opposite of the Amethyst Winged Lion. Except for the special beast fire, their other attributes are completely opposite.

The Lion King has wings to fly, has extremely strong body, masters the art of sealing, and has dormant ancient blood in his body waiting to be activated.

Red Fire Fox…none of them.

Judging from the basic stats, it is exactly what everyone calls an 'ordinary monster', and all of its bonuses have been replaced by that phantom red flame.

If a fight really breaks out, who can defeat that iron bastard?
……

"Hey, long time no see old man~"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King, lying in the middle of the basin, raised his head and looked at the familiar old fox.

"It seems that you haven't made any progress in all these years. You are still hovering at the peak of the sixth level. Haven't you ever thought about giving it your all?"

"you…"

The old fox's voice trembled, his eyes full of disbelief: "You can actually break through to the seventh level? This is impossible!"

When they first met, the Lion King was just a kid who had just entered the sixth level. Even if he had great talent, it would take thirty to fifty years of hard training to reach the entire sixth level, right?

How did he suddenly soar to the level of Dou Zong?

What's more, he had already estimated this guy's talent and potential. If he wanted to break through to the Dou Zong level in this life, he would need great help.

But now I look at it...

"Only a few years have passed since then? He has rushed through the entire sixth level and even broken through the threshold to become such a terrifying Dou Zong master..."

What an astonishing efficiency.

Could it be that this guy took dozens of pills?
"That's impossible..."

The old fox couldn't help but shake his head, thinking that this idea was too ridiculous. How could the Lion King gather so many materials, win so many favors, and pay for the medicine?
'Unless someone helps him break through for almost free.'

But how could there be such a generous alchemist in this world?
As far as he knew, these humans would even exploit their own kind mercilessly, let alone these magical beasts, who would not stop until they had extracted all their tendons and bones and squeezed out every last drop of blood.

"Why, are you surprised?"

The lion king held his head high and scanned the dozens of caves around him, with a faint timid and exploratory look in his eyes. The feeling of descending in front of his old acquaintances as a superior was truly amazing and fascinating.

Looking across the entire tribe, all the foxes that had followed him and bit him fiercely were trembling and looking away.

"Whoo~"

The old fox tried his best to suppress the shock in his heart and bowed his head to show his submission: "I dare not. It's just that I have some doubts... I don't know why you came here today, sir?"

well!
It’s this posture, it’s this expression!

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King grinned happily: "As for me, I came here to reminisce with you. After all, we are old friends who have met once before~"

"Secondly, it's for the remaining blood source grass! Thanks to that sir's care, I have reached the level of Dou Zong today, so naturally I want to repay him."

The old fox's eyes widened instantly.

Are you going to use my clan’s treasure... to please your own master?

What about the face?
