"Tie Ta, are you alright?" Jian Chen asked with concern.
Tie Ta shook his head and let out a long sigh. He said in a low voice,"I'm fine. It's just that I'm very hot from the barbecue. It's so hot that I'm uncomfortable.”
"It's good that you're fine." Jian Chen immediately let out a sigh of relief. He had been worried that something would happen to Tie Ta when he had seen him surrounded by flames.
At this moment, Jian Chen's eyes suddenly narrowed. He turned his head slightly to look at a certain spot in the dense leaves behind him. A gleam of light flashed through his eyes as the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He revealed a smile that was difficult to detect.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
The ground began to tremble as the Flaming Cloud Beast approached the two of them with heavy steps. With every step it took, the ground would shake slightly. The Flaming Cloud Beast's mouth constantly spat out red flames as if it would shoot out at any moment.
Tie Ta stared at the approaching Flaming Cloud Beast with a solemn expression. He said in a deep voice,"Changyang Xiang Tian, this big fellow's skin is extremely tough, how should we kill him?”
Jian Chen stared at the approaching Flaming Cloud Beast sternly as well. He said,"The Flaming Cloud Beast's body is covered in a layer of extremely hard skin. Unless we're all Saints, we can only break through its skin with our weapons. It looks like we can only break through its eyes and attack its brain.”
With that, the Flaming Cloud Beast roared. It opened its mouth and spat out another mouthful of fire.
Jian Chen and Tie Ta hurriedly dodged. Jian Chen's right hand gripped the iron rod tightly as he called out to Tie Ta,"Tie Ta, go attract its attention.”
"Don't worry, leave this to me!" Tie Ta picked up a rock from the ground and threw it at the Flaming Cloud Beast before running away.
The rock flew through the air and accurately hit the Flaming Cloud Beast. It struck the tusk that Tie Ta had broken.
The broken fang seemed to be a source of pain for the Flaming Cloud Beast. Its eyes immediately became bloodshot, and it continuously spat flames at Tie Ta.
Jian Chen glared at the Flaming Cloud Beast that had been completely distracted by Tie Ta. He gripped the slightly bent iron rod tightly and began to run toward the Flaming Cloud Beast's head from the side.
Jian Chen's speed was extremely fast. As he ran, his feet didn't touch the ground. He ran on the short grass as if he was flying in the air.
In just a short moment, Jian Chen had arrived below the head of the Flaming Cloud Beast. Ignoring the heat from the snake, Jian Chen leapt up high into the air. When he was at the same height as the head of the Flaming Cloud Beast, his right arm suddenly shook, and the iron rod in his hand quickly stabbed toward the fist-sized eye of the Flaming Cloud Beast.
Even though Jian Chen's speed was fast, the Flaming Cloud Beast's reaction was not slow either. Just as the rod was about to reach the Flaming Cloud Beast's eyes, it suddenly closed them.
Jian Chen's eyes flashed with a gleam of light. Success or failure was decided at this moment. At this moment, he focused his attention. With his powerful senses, he slightly shifted the direction of the rod, causing the tip of the rod that was originally aimed at the Flaming Cloud Beast's eye to pierce through the gap between the Flaming Cloud Beast's eyelids.
The iron rod easily pierced through the gap between the Flaming Cloud Beast's eyelids without any resistance. Immediately, bright red blood surged out of the Flaming Cloud Beast's eyes.
"Roar!" The piercing pain caused the Flaming Cloud Beast to let out a miserable cry. The sound shook the sky and spread far in all directions.
Jian Chen's right arm tightened once more, pushing the rod deeper into the beast's eye. He attempted to pierce through the eye into its brain.
The Flaming Cloud Beast's screams became more and more miserable. Then, its head began to shake rapidly, trying to shake off the iron rod that was stuck in its eye. However, the iron rod had already reached in, so it was not so easy to shake it off. Moreover, there was a person on the iron rod. The more it shook its head, the more intense the pain became. After shaking its head twice, the more intense the pain became, and the Flaming Cloud Beast did not dare to move its head at all.
The Flaming Cloud Beast continued to cry out in pain. In the end, its huge body fell to the ground with a loud bang and struggled in pain. Although the wound was not fatal to it, the heart-wrenching pain was unbearable for its brain.
Seeing the Firecloud Beast on the ground, Jian Chen's eyes lit up with joy. He immediately called out,"Tie Ta, hurry up and pierce that iron rod deeper.”This was the most suitable task for Tie Ta, who possessed innate strength.
"Alright, I'm coming." Tie Ta ran over excitedly. He could see the light of victory now.
Tie Ta quickly approached the Flaming Cloud Beast. He grabbed the metal rod in its eye and pushed it in with his right hand. Immediately, the meter-long metal rod completely entered the Flaming Cloud Beast's eye, leaving only a small portion of the fist outside.
"Roar!" A loud scream came from the Flaming Cloud Beast's mouth. It was so loud that Jian Chen and the other two felt a slight pain in their eardrums. After the scream, the Flaming Cloud Beast seemed to have lost all its strength. Its huge body sobbed a few times on the ground before it stopped moving. Its other eye slowly closed.
Seeing that the Flaming Cloud Beast was finally dead, Jian Chen and Tie Ta couldn't help but sigh in relief. Although the Flaming Cloud Beast wasn't considered very powerful among Class 2 Magical Beasts, its defense was extremely outstanding. Killing it was extremely difficult.
"It's finally dead. This magical beast is really hard to deal with. It can actually spit fire and burn my hair.”Tie Ta rubbed his large bald head with a depressed expression.
Jian Chen laughed as he looked at Tie Ta's tattered uniform,"You'd better put this on!" With that, Jian Chen took out another wolf skin from his Space Belt. Jian Chen had prepared many pieces of wolf skin, and there were still quite a few in his Space Belt. They were all prepared to be used to make clothes. After all, the two of them had experienced countless battles in the forest, and a set of clothes was far from enough to be damaged.
Tie Ta didn't stand on ceremony. He took the wolf skin and quickly made a simple set of clothes.
Afterwards, the two of them took out the monster core from the Flaming Cloud Beast's brain and continued on their journey.
Just as the two of them disappeared into the forest, a red figure descended from a lush tree. It was a tall woman dressed in fiery red clothes. She was about thirty years old, and although she wasn't very beautiful, she had a gentle and quiet appearance.
The woman looked at the corpse of the Flaming Cloud Beast with a trace of shock in her eyes. After taking a deep breath, she muttered,"Tie Ta, Changyang Xiang Tian, the two of you truly live up to your reputation. You're actually so powerful. You're not even Saints yet, but you were able to kill the Class 2 Flaming Cloud Beast with just two ordinary metal weapons. This truly surprises me. It seems I'll have to report this matter to the vice headmaster.”As soon as she finished speaking, the woman used her movement technique and quickly left the place.
Not long after the woman left, another five young men with weapons arrived. Their faces were completely black, and their appearances could not be seen at all. However, they were wearing tattered school uniforms. Among them, three of them held a two-handed sword, one held a machete, and the last burly young man held a sledgehammer.
"Judging from the sound, the roar just now should have come from here.”One of the young men with a giant sword said.
The young man with the machete nodded and said,"That's right. If that magical beast hasn't gone far, it should be somewhere nearby…" At this point, the young man's tone paused slightly. He stared straight ahead and exclaimed," Look, what's that…" As he spoke, the young man pointed ahead.
Hearing this, everyone looked up and saw a fiery red object the size of a small mountain lying on the ground. It looked very much like a magical beast.
"Let's go and take a look."
Soon, the five of them arrived in front of the magical beast. However, when they recognized this magical beast, their expressions immediately became serious.
An experienced young man squatted in front of the corpse of the Flaming Cloud Beast and dipped his hand in its blood. He said,""This is a Flaming Cloud Beast. Its defense is very strong, but its attack isn't very powerful. However, its blood hasn't dried up yet, and there's still some residual heat. It's obvious that it just died not long ago.”
A youth wielding a huge sword looked around before finally looking in the direction where Jian Chen and the other had left. He said," Let's go. We'll immediately chase after them and see who killed this Flaming Cloud Beast. If the other party is strong enough, we can recruit them into the army and let everyone hunt Magical Beasts together. If they are too weak…" The young man revealed a gentle smile.
Hearing that, the other four youths seemed to have thought of something and revealed a sinister smile. Afterwards, the five of them quickly chased after Jian Chen and Tie Ta.
Jian Chen and Tie Ta were carefully walking through the forest. Because they had to guard against magical beasts that could appear at any time and the swamps that were difficult to guard against, the two of them did not move very quickly.
At this moment, Jian Chen's ears quivered slightly. He stopped Tie Ta with a hand and said,"Be careful, someone is catching up from behind.”
Tie Ta stopped in his tracks and turned around curiously.
Very soon, the figures behind them appeared in front of Jian Chen. There were a total of five people, but because their faces were black, Jian Chen couldn't see their faces. However, the weapons they held in their hands all emitted a strong Saint Force ripple.
When the five young men saw that there were only two of them, they all revealed a sliver of joy in their eyes. They looked at each other, and then as if they had already agreed, they actually sped up to Jian Chen and surrounded them.
Jian Chen and Tie Ta both had a bad premonition when they saw this.
"Gentlemen, I don't know what you mean by this.”Jian Chen asked.
A young man waved the giant sword in his hand and said with a wicked smile,"What do you mean?”
" Obediently hand over your Space Belts, and we won't make things difficult for you. Otherwise... hmph..." The man with the hammer said with a cold smile.
Tie Ta's expression changed abruptly when he heard this. He said furiously,"You want us to hand over our Space Belts? Hmph, don't even think about it.”Tie Ta finally understood what this group of youths was up to. They were actually robbing people.
Jian Chen gently patted the Space Belt around his waist and sneered,"The Space Belt is right here. The monster cores we hunted are all inside.”
Even though they knew that the five of them were all Saints, Jian Chen and Tie Ta showed no fear at all.
"Hmph, since that's the case, don't blame us. Everyone, attack together.”With a furious roar, the five Saints charged at Jian Chen and the other two. However, the weapons were aimed at places that were not fatal. The five youths knew that they were all students of the same academy. In this place, they could rob and fight, but they could not harm each other's lives.
