Chapter 295 The Fatty's Fourth Soul Skill, Phoenix Roaring Strike (Part 1)

Tang San's goal was simple: to use the high-speed flight effect provided by the mushroom sausage to enable everyone to quickly pass through the poisonous fog area and inflict damage on the "Pink Lady" outside, thus resolving the passive situation.

It took Oscar almost half an hour, nearly exhausting all his soul power, to create twelve flying mushroom sausages. After a brief rest, the group immediately got to work.

After eating the mushroom sausages, the group ascended into the air. To prevent them from falling into the poisonous fog area due to their different flight speeds, Tang San released his Blue Silver Grass, which wrapped around each person's waist. He used the length of the Blue Silver Grass to control the distance between himself and the group before rapidly launching into flight in one direction.

Traveling on the ground wasn't impossible. The Pink Lady wasn't particularly fast, but the trees would obstruct their vision, making it difficult to see clearly. Even with Tang San's guidance, it was impossible for the eleven-person team to maintain a consistent speed. The poisonous fog was now much denser than before, and Tang San definitely didn't want anyone to accidentally inhale it and cause unnecessary trouble.

Even he found it extremely difficult to neutralize this type of stimulant gas.

As Oscar's strength improved, the flying mushroom sausages not only increased in speed but also in duration, by about ten seconds. Although it was still not very long, this time was enough for them to fly directly out of the poisonous fog area.

The pink poisonous fog was broken by the fragrance of the Fairy Tale of the Fragrant Jade. The heavy fog swept past on both sides. When the flight effect of the Mushroom Sausage was about half exhausted, everyone's vision suddenly cleared and the surrounding scenery instantly became clear. They had already broken out of the encirclement of the poisonous fog.

With a sharp cry, Liu Erlong swung his waist, broke free of the Blue Silver Grass around his waist, and his body plummeted to the ground like a shooting star. Before he even hit the ground, a huge burst of flames erupted, and a series of shrill screams came from below.

Looking down, everyone could clearly see the dense swarm of soul beasts beneath their feet, and the true face of the 'Pink Lady' appeared before them.

Just as the master described, they were crystal-clear pink scorpions, as if they were carved from pink crystal. Each one was about two feet long and swam on the ground, constantly emitting a faint pink gas that condensed in front of them.

Liu Erlong was already in a bad mood because of what happened last night, and he had been trapped in the poisonous fog for half a day. Now that he was out of the poisonous area, he could no longer hold back. Although he did not use the Crimson Dragon True Form as impulsively as he did last night, he charged into the swarm of poisonous scorpions like a fire demon. It was a one-sided slaughter. The first wave of flames alone melted the bodies of at least ten "Pink Ladies".

"Let's go down too." Flander nodded to Tang San, fearing that something might happen to Liu Erlong.

Tang San retrieved the Blue Silver Grass, and the group used their flying abilities to descend from the sky.

"Do not kill too much!" the master shouted. He was not only speaking to the Shrek Seven Devils, but also, more importantly, to Liu Erlong.

Liu Erlong kicked one of the "Pink Ladies" next to her away, turned her head to look at the master, snorted coldly, and increased her speed again. Although she did not agree on the surface, she actually respected the master's opinion very much. When those poor scorpions flew up again, they were still able to keep a breath.

Dai Mubai whispered in Flander's ear, "Dean, didn't you say we'd handle the monsters ourselves this time? Look, Teacher Erlong is..."

Flander said helplessly, "Women with endocrine disorders can't be judged by common sense. Xiao Gang, why don't we leave this area first? These 'Pink Ladies' may not cause any real trouble, but getting entangled with them is still a bit of a hassle."

To Flander's surprise, the master shook his head and said, "No rush. Let's wait a little longer."

Just then, a sharp cry came from the poisonous fog area, followed by a pinkish light that shot out from within the fog and sprayed a mouthful of thick fog towards Liu Erlong.

Liu Erlong was startled. She clapped her hands forward and leaped backward instantly, but she still couldn't avoid smelling a trace of poisonous mist. Fortunately, she had the miasma-removing pill that Tang San had given her before, which had a certain resistance to the poisonous mist. In addition, with her profound cultivation, a small amount of poisonous mist was unlikely to cause her any harm.

"Erlong, come back! Xiao San, you two go! Don't kill it. Leave it with a breath left." The master calmly gave the order to attack.

Emerging from the woods was a gigantic "Pink Lady," almost the same size as the Earth King who had been thoroughly thrashed by Liu Erlong yesterday. Its pink color was not only deeper, but its entire body was also covered with a layer of fine scales, and its head had six small dark red eyes that gleamed with a sinister light.

Liu Erlong's sudden retreat to avoid the poisonous mist it spewed clearly enraged the scorpion even more. It lashed its tail at the ground and chased after Liu Erlong.

That's right, this is indeed a "Pink Lady". Judging from her appearance, the master can tell that this Pink Lady's cultivation level is probably between three thousand five hundred and four thousand years.

"Third Brother, help me!" Ma Hongjun shouted, and a phoenix cry burst forth from his body. It was not a sound that came from his mouth, but rather a sound that was generated by the flames rising from his body. The blazing golden-red flames instantly spread throughout his body, and the purple light of his third soul ring spread out. In the blink of an eye, a pair of huge fiery wings on the back of the fat man had already unfolded.

With a wingspan exceeding four meters, it seemed somewhat out of place with the fat man's round body, but the intense heat from its airflow forced the Shrek Seven Devils to quickly retreat a few steps and create distance.

Having worked together for so long, Tang San naturally understood Ma Hongjun's meaning: he wanted to test out the newly acquired soul skill.

"Go." Tang San gave him only a simple instruction. With a flick of his right hand, he flung out a ball of green light.

Ma Hongjun's fiery wings suddenly flapped, and his body took flight again, trailing a dazzling trail of flames. Like a fiery meteor, he chased after the green orb and flew towards the "Pink Lady".

This is Ma Hongjun's third spirit ring skill, Phoenix Wing Soaring.

This soul skill grants him temporary flight capabilities. During flight, his soul power is continuously consumed. Simultaneously, this skill ignites his second soul skill, Phoenix Rebirth, merging the two skills into one and instantly increasing his fire attack power by 100%. His attack range is also increased by 50%.

Starting with his third spirit skill, Ma Hongjun's powerful Phoenix spirit began to demonstrate strength surpassing that of ordinary spirits. Especially with Tang San's help in removing the evil fire restriction from this mutated spirit, he could use his spirit skills without any restraint.

Fear immediately showed in the six small eyes on the Pink Lady's head.

Even Liu Erlong's flames had never given it this feeling before. At the same time, within that fear was also intense anger, because it could clearly sense the aura of the king of the desert on Ma Hongjun.

The reason it felt fear was naturally because of the flames on Ma Hongjun's body. Poisonous insect-type soul beasts like it are afraid of fire, but "Pink Lady" has nearly four thousand years of cultivation, so it doesn't care about ordinary flames at all.

However, the phoenix flames on Ma Hongjun's body are the nemesis of all poisonous insects. The phoenix is ​​the king of all birds, and the suppression of its aura has already thrown this "Pink Lady" into a state of confusion.

The green light spread out instantly, and the huge spider web gave "Pink Lady" no chance to dodge. Tang San's technique was so exquisite that the wonderful use of the spider web binding was instantly displayed.

With a soft thud, the Pink Lady's enormous body was completely bound by the spider web. At this moment, it was no longer just fear, but utter panic. The aura of its natural enemy, the Faceless Demon Spider, on the web made its entire body go limp, and the potent venom entering its body instantly reduced its defenses significantly. Just then, Ma Hongjun swooped down and landed in front of it with a thud.

The flames suddenly dimmed, and everyone clearly saw Ma Hongjun, who had landed on the ground, unfurl his fiery wings towards the sky, and slam his right fist heavily into the ground. In an instant, the air twisted violently, and a distorted light shield with a diameter of five meters enveloped both his body and the 'Pink Lady'.

The Pink Lady, who was desperately struggling within the spiderweb, instantly stiffened in the distorted air, completely losing her ability to move. Immediately afterward, the fat man roared, "Fourth Soul Skill, Phoenix Roar Strike!"

Boom—! The powerful phoenix flames erupted instantly, and the loud phoenix cry pierced through the clouds and mist, like the clanging of metal and stone.

A burst of intense phoenix-shaped flame erupted from the ground, instantly lifting Ma Hongjun's body into the air.

The area previously shrouded in distorted air was now completely engulfed in flames. The firebird phoenix soared into the sky, its wings unfurling in the air, truly resembling a fire phoenix descending to earth.

The dazzling sight left the other members of the Shrek Seven Devils somewhat stunned. Although they knew the fourth soul skill would be quite effective, they hadn't expected Ma Hongjun to be this strong.

Before obtaining the Earth King Soul Ring, Fatty's flames were domineering, but he didn't have any effective means of attack. Although Phoenix Fire Lines were quite powerful under the amplification of Phoenix Fire, they could only contend with Soul Masters of the same level at most, and his attack methods were very limited.
