"Hunter! The Fire Rush Festival is about to begin again!"

Gemma ran into the tent, and the three people inside turned to look at her at the same time. The blacksmith girl subconsciously shrank back, and her tone became weaker.

"Oh, aren't you guys finished talking yet?"

"No, we've already finished talking."

Alma shook her head, stood up from the chair, straightened her slightly wrinkled skirt, and then looked at Qianjie with a smile.

“Mr. Qianjie, there’s no rush for you to go back. Why don’t you come with us to see the Fire Rush Festival first?”

Beneath Alma's smile lay a hint of worry; she was very sensitive to her emotions.

She could sense Qianjie's anger and sorrow, as well as his undisguised self-destructive tendencies.

Although the two did not communicate much, just as she did with Nata and Lone Bird, she did not want Qianjie to end up self-destructing.

Qianjie naturally had no objections; he wasn't interested in the Fire Rush Ceremony and just wanted to leave as soon as possible.

Seeing that he agreed, Alma shifted her gaze to the lone bird slacking off nearby.

"Ah, oh, let's go, let's go."

Seeing that everyone was staring at him, the lone bird quickly picked up Tuanzi and walked out of the tent, heading towards the large stove.

By this time, the area around the large furnace was already crowded with people, not only the people from Huoyao Village, but also almost all the hunters from the survey team stationed there.

They didn't want to miss this sight they'd never seen before.

Among them are Werner, the craftsman who belongs to Team Star, and Eric, the scholar.

They are discussing matters related to the large furnace with several clan elders of Huoyao Village, since they initiated this restoration project.

The Fire Rush Festival should have been completed not long ago, but they waited in vain for the fire to rise. After Werner investigated, he discovered that the pipes inside the furnace were blocked, preventing the fire from rising.

They have now cleared the blockage and are preparing to restart the furnace.

But not everyone is optimistic about this.

“Worner, repairing the furnace isn’t that simple.”

Although the matter was nearing its end, Gemma still wanted to try to express her views.

"But the repairs are already complete."

Werner's eyes were fixed on the large furnace and the people of the kiln village.

"They are like this energy; once they start flowing, they can't stop."

The people of Huoyao Village excitedly gathered around the large furnace. They had all thought that the fire would not come again, but they did not expect that the outsiders would be able to repair the large furnace.

"ignition!"

The chieftain of the Shi clan, Dogde, raised his arms and shouted, and his people vigorously turned the valve connected to the large furnace.

After a brief silence, a burning sensation gradually approached, and with a flash of red light, a raging fire rose from the center of the huge furnace.

The surrounding tribespeople cheered excitedly.

"We summoned the fire with our own hands!"

The chieftain of the Bone Clan clenched his fist, his face beaming with excitement.

For Huoyao Village, the Benhuo (奔火) is not just a simple flame; it symbolizes the arrival of a bountiful season!

The hunters in the survey team were also full of amazement. It was the first time they had ever seen such a large furnace start up. Even though the heat was scorching, they didn't want to miss such a grand event.

However, Qian Jie, who was at the end of the group, noticed something was wrong. The surging energy in the flames was not stable.

Just as he sensed, the next moment, even fiercer flames rose from the furnace, and after only a few seconds, the fire in the furnace was no longer restrained and began to burn wildly.

But the bad news didn't stop there. Just as everyone was drawn to the strange phenomenon with the stove, a villager came running from the village entrance, panting and shouting:

"Giant...giant ape...the giant ape is here!!!"

As soon as she finished speaking, several enormous Hercules beasts fell from the rock wall, causing the earth to tremble.

"The monsters have arrived too..."

Alma was somewhat dazed by the sudden change, but the ape-like beasts that had come for the fire revealed their ferocity and smashed the stone pillars beside them with a wave of their hands.

"careful!"

Alma watched helplessly as the collapsing stone pillar crashed down on the villagers below who had no time to dodge.

But at that critical moment, a masked man caught the falling stone pillar.

"Get out of here!"

Qianjie looked at the terrified guy and shouted at him sternly.

The guy was jolted awake by the shout and ran away without even thanking them.

Upon seeing this, Alma breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the lone bird with piercing eyes.

Seeing her look, the lone bird understood Alma's meaning and immediately took off the insect stick from its back.

"In the name of the guild, I demand that you exterminate these Hephaestus Beasts!"

Chapter Thirteen: Friend, should we support the hunter?

The roar of the Hercules was deafening, startling the nearby crowd into scattering and fleeing.

For some reason, the people living in the Forbidden Land, whether in Wind Sound Village or Fire Kiln Village, have virtually no means of fighting monsters. They mostly rely on items (Azure Thunder Crystals) or terrain to avoid monsters.

"They actually managed to fight a monster like that."

Seeing the hunters already engaged in close combat with the Hephaestus, the two clan chiefs couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, but were quickly pulled away by Gemma.

"Stop looking, you two. Quickly find a way to transfer the energy from the big furnace to the backup furnace, otherwise this furnace will explode and the entire Yongyou Valley will be destroyed."

"That's right, let's go over there quickly."

After calling for a few helpers, the two clan leaders quickly grabbed their tools and ran towards the spare stove.

For a moment, only a few hunters and the hot-tempered Thousand Tribulations remained on the front lines.

"Your Bird Team really has a lot of talented people."

Olivia, the captain of Team Star, looked at the masked man wielding the stone pillar with some surprise; such superhuman strength was truly astonishing.

"He's not a guild... never mind."

Lone Bird gave up halfway through his explanation, just as the Tide Hunter flew back to Lone Bird's side with Three Lamps.

With a whooshing sound, the lone bird soared into the herpesman horde, its downward thrust striking the head of the leading herpesman with pinpoint accuracy.

"Drive them out of Huoyao Village!"

As Olivia shouted, the silver hammer gleamed white in the firelight. After charging up, she slammed one of the Hercules beasts into the pit.

The lone bird then picked up the skills it had learned on the ice plains, using the flying claws on its arms to get itself onto the head of the Hephaestus while flying in the air, and then gave it three powerful blows.

Rage instantly filled the giant ape's brain, and after roaring, it immediately chased after the lone bird that had already mounted the Heron Eagle Dragon.

Seeing this, Qianjie used the top of the stone pillar to push the Heruka Beast towards the tunnel.

Seeing that the greatest threat had been lured away by the hunters, Alma quickly called on the remaining villagers and guild support to help Gemma and the others activate the backup furnace.

But in a corner where no one noticed, a pitch-black figure engulfed in flames clung to the rock wall and silently followed Lone Bird and his companions.

As hunters, Olivia and Lone Bird had already memorized the map of the area around Oil Valley. They deliberately drove the Hercules herd towards areas where no oil was flowing from the ground.

Bang! Thud!

The hissing sound rang out again, and the insect club, raised like a full moon, collided steadily with the Hephaestus's fist, sending the ape-beast into a deep stun.

Although both are toothed beasts of the Gigantopithecus genus, the Heramon and the Great Golden Lion were from different eras, and the fight between the two birds caused the Heramon to lean backward.

He then launched his Insect Glaive into the air once more, spinning it like a dance, relentlessly attacking the Heramon's body. Just as the stun was about to end, he stabbed the Heramon's head with the precision of a scalpel.

Another obvious mark was left on the head of the Hercules.

Although the Hercules was still enraged, it was already somewhat out of its mind.

It's important to understand that fighting Zhou Si is not just a training exercise for Zhou Si.

Meanwhile, in the other two battlefields, Olivia is steadily expanding her advantage, as for Thousand Calamities...

"Look me in the eye! Newborn!"

"The one who will kill you is Qian Jie!"

......

Looking at Qianjie, who had become somewhat 'crazy' again, Gu Niao looked at the Corrosive Tide Hunter in his hand, ready to 'heal' him again.

However, in terms of the overall battle situation, Qianjie still had the upper hand.

His fighting style reminded Lone Bird of Zhou Si in his wild man form. Back then, he did the same thing, relying on his strong physical attributes to fight head-on, and running away when things got too tough.

However, given Qian Jie's carefree and aggressive fighting style, which relies on exchanging injuries for injuries, his condition must be much more serious than Zhou Si's.

Just as the lone bird was observing Qianjie's fighting style, the enormous figure that had been lurking in the shadows poked its head out from the rock wall.

Its jet-black body, as black as solidified ink, swam across the wall, its eyes, emitting a ghostly blue light, fixed their gaze entirely on the Hrih-ape beast that was about to suffer a terrible fate in front of the lone bird.

The jet-black tentacles supported its massive body, and it moved step by step along the wall toward the Hephaestus Beast.

And all of this went completely unnoticed by anyone.

The lone bird's upward swipe once again stunned the Hephaestus, but before she could continue her pursuit, a thick black tentacle slammed down from directly above.

Its large, dark blue eyes opened at the tips of its tentacles, and its terrifying suction cups were ready to crush the Hephaestus and the lone bird.

A burning sensation came from above her head. The lone bird reacted almost the instant the black monster launched its attack, but there was someone else who reacted even faster.

"Friend, do you want to help the hunters?"

As soon as the words were spoken, a crimson blade flashed, and the black tentacle was severed. The black monster, in pain, fell directly off the rock wall.

"Why are you here?"

The lone bird was quite surprised to see the figure that had just landed. Shouldn't this guy be playing hide-and-seek with Xialong in the Honkai world right now?

"This is a long story. I suggest we deal with these monsters first before we talk about it, okay?"

Zhou Si grinned as he gripped the twin swords in reverse, and bent down to dodge the attack of the giant black octopus.

"Looks like we can have grilled squid for dinner tonight."

Zhou Si muttered something under her breath, glaring at the creature that had interrupted the lone bird's conversation with her.

"It must be the ancient black flame that those old people were talking about."

The lone bird had a vague idea that the black flames in the stories told by the old men of Yongyou Valley might be the octopus-like monster in front of it.

"What do you mean? Kill or arrest?"

"kill."

Without hesitation, Lone Bird uttered these words. This ancient black flame posed a significant threat to Oil Valley. Rather than capturing it and studying it slowly, Lone Bird preferred to nip the danger in the bud.

"I'll ask Alma to finish the hunting request later."

"...6."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Si's gaze towards her became even stranger.

Goodness, Lone Bird is really not even pretending anymore, making full use of the mobile seal function.

Zhou Si dared to act first and report later; he didn't even dare to think about what would happen in the future.

However, the most urgent task is to deal with the ancient black flames in front of us first, and then we can talk to each other slowly after that.

With that thought in mind, the Tide Hunter and Zhou Si charged toward the Black Flame together!
