Chapter 247 Team Collaboration
After Xiang Zhili's introduction, the few of them greeted each other.
Although Zhuang Renhe was a disciple of the Giant Sword Sect, his temperament was completely lacking in the majestic and powerful aura that was common among the Giant Sword Sect members. Instead, he waved his hand at Mo Juren in a cowardly manner and spoke little.
The rough man named Wuermo looked familiar to Mo Juren. He took the lead in greeting and said,
"Friend Xiang is indeed very eloquent. We have gained another teammate! Congratulations."
Upon hearing this, Xiang Zhili stroked his mustache and laughed, then looked at Mo Juren, as if asking what he meant.
Mo Juren had never taken the initiative to express his desire to join their team before, and Xiang Zhili had not yet made a formal invitation.
However, seeing that these three have successfully formed a team, and their cultivation levels are similar, they don't seem to have any ill intentions.
Xiang Zhili, the old man, seems to know everything, so it seems like a good idea for him to join them.
So Mo Juren did not object and nodded with a smile.
Seeing that Mo Juren acquiesced, Xiang Zhili said happily,
"In that case, then Fellow Daoist Zhang, you will officially join our Weak Alliance."
"Everyone, rest assured. I am here with you. I guarantee that you will have plenty of spiritual herbs and make a fortune."
"At least within these five days, we can still keep everyone alive and leave the forbidden area safely!"
Ulmo the brute said happily,
"That's great. Please give us more advice. How about we go to the secret place with Fire Dragon Grass that you told us about?"
Hearing the man's impatient tone, Mo Juren thought carefully and then remembered.
It turned out to be Baturu, a subordinate of Madam Xiang. He was similar to this person and had the same barbaric style.
But now is not the time to get to the bottom of it, so Xiang Zhili agreed.
"That's exactly what I meant. I'd like to let you guys see if what I said to the old man is true or not. Is it true or not?"
After that, Mo Juren and the other two followed Xiang Zhili and left the primeval forest on the edge. They walked around carefully and came to a place called Yanhuo Cave.
Xiang Zhili pointed to the hole on the ground that sloped downwards and said,
"This cave leads directly underground. There is a rock fire burning in the cave all year round. It is one of the few places outside the central area of the forbidden area where spiritual herbs grow."
"Judging from the traces around us, no one has gotten there first. Come on, follow me down, and be careful of the high temperature of the rock fire..."
After saying that, Xiang Zhili took the lead and went into the cave.
Wuermo and Zhuang Renhe entered one after another, and Mo Juren was the last to come.
As they walked down the tunnel, the temperature became hotter and hotter, and they could clearly feel the volcanic heat wave below.
When we got to the bottom, we saw that there was indeed a pool of underground fire at the bottom of the cave. Red magma was bubbling up from the bottom of the pool from time to time, forming a fire bubble that exploded, and then cooled and turned black, resembling sludge, as if it was about to condense together.
There were five or six medicinal herbs growing under the rock wall not far from the underground fire pool. The red leaves had black spots on them. They were the fire dragon grass that Xiang Zhili had mentioned. Mo Juren had seen this fire dragon grass in the "Collection of Spiritual Herbs". It could only grow in places with high temperatures. It had the same properties as the yellow dragon grass that he often planted, but it had a higher medicinal effect and was suitable for preparing fire-attributed pills.
When Wuermo saw the Fire Dragon Grass, he smiled happily and wanted to pick it immediately, but Xiang Zhili said,
"According to the sect's atlas, these fire dragon grasses are guarded by monsters. Fellow Daoist Wuermo, please remember to be careful."
So Ulmo stopped and carefully took out his magic weapon, a pair of silver steel rings.
Mo Juren also smelled an unusual smell in the air and took out the Xuanguan Sword.
Just as the four of them were slowly approaching the rock wall, a fire suddenly seemed to light up in the cave in the distance. Three egg-sized flames swayed and slowly floated out.
When they reached the cave entrance, the wolf's true form was revealed. It turned out to be a red-haired fire wolf with three eyes! Its huge wolf head was as big as a lion, and its body was more like a calf.
"This is a top-level monster, the Three-Eyed Fire Wolf. Be careful of its monster flames!"
Xiang Zhili gave a reminder, then he moved sideways to let everyone face the three-eyed fire wolf.
The three-eyed fire wolf let out a low roar and stared coldly at Mo Juren and other invaders who had entered his territory.
Unexpectedly, before it could make any move, a giant sword flew over from mid-air and slashed at it. No one expected that it was Zhuang Renhe from the Giant Sword Sect who took the first step!
The huge sword seemed to be slashing towards him slowly but quickly. The three-eyed fire wolf pounced directly and jumped to the side, avoiding the sword.
However, Zhuang Renhe calmly made a sword gesture and turned it. The huge sword body also rotated on the spot, and the sword light was about to cut the fire wolf.
The third eye on the fire wolf's head flashed, and it opened its big mouth and bit the sword directly.
Then the sword was still spinning, and the residual momentum of the movement made the three-eyed fire wolf move as well. By the time Zhuang Renhe realized something was wrong, the cunning three-eyed fire wolf had already approached.
It pounced and used its sharp claws to grab Mo Juren and the other two at a very fast speed!
At this time, Ulmo, who was walking in front and facing the three-eyed fire wolf, retreated instead of advancing, and actually hid behind Mo Juren.
Mo Juren didn't expect this person to respond in this way, and was stunned for a moment. Fortunately, he had always been ready to take action. He quickly used the Xuan Guang Sword to create a shocking rainbow and stabbed it directly at the wolf's head.
The three-eyed fire wolf used its claws for defense and accurately knocked Mo Juren's Xuan Guang sword away.
At this moment, Ulmo's pair of silver steel rings moved, taking advantage of this opportunity to hit the three-eyed fire wolf.
With a "bang", the three-eyed fire wolf that flew over was knocked to the ground by the joint efforts of the three people. It immediately became more ferocious, and its third eye turned into a fiery red.
At this time, Zhuang Renhe's giant sword came again. The huge sword body became the main force of the attack, killing the three-eyed fire wolf and making it helpless.
Mo Juren's Xuan Guang sword also transformed into a deep and profound array pattern, and with Ulmo's steel ring on the left and right, they waited for an opportunity to assist, making it impossible for the three-eyed fire wolf to escape.
It was quite easy for three Qi Refining Tenth Level cultivators to defeat a Level One top-tier monster. After a while, the Three-eyed Fire Wolf saw that the situation was hopeless and ignored the attacks of the three people. The red light in its eyes shone brighter, as if it was using all its strength to launch a special move.
But unfortunately, it underestimated the power of Zhuang Renhe's giant sword. The giant sword came and chopped accurately on the neck, and the whole wolf head fell off, and the wolf head was separated...
