Flame lion

Well, to give everyone a heads-up. The structure of the book was relatively large, and the relationships of the characters were complicated, so the boring foreshadowing was a little long. Everyone patiently stepped on the potholes and accompanied Wuchen as he walked. Moreover, the main character of the first few tens of thousands of words was Ningxue. There was nothing for Wuchen to do. All he needed to do was to sleep. This was also a huge landmine for him to go berserk in the middle stage. During the time of the new book, he would be a shameless 2k party for a month.

As the three of them walked, they encountered countless unlucky beasts of all sizes. Basically, they were all knocked down by one punch from Chu Jingtian. Compared to the beasts here, which were generally of low levels, Chu Jingtian was more like a wild beast. After two hours, the wicker basket on his back was slowly filled. He was dragging more than ten big beasts that were tied up and strung together. Even he, Chu Jingtian, was starting to feel tired after carrying such a huge weight for so long. However, Ye Wuchen insisted on walking forward, as if he wanted to explore the entire place. Chu Jingtian could only grit his teeth and insist on following behind.

The deeper they went, the quieter the atmosphere became. After another hour, Chu Jingtian finally sat on the ground and said while panting, "Brother Ye, let's stop here for today. If we go any further, we will reach the place where the flaming lion appears. If I can't beat it, I can still run. You and this little guy will have a hard time. "

"Flaming lion?" Ye Wuchen remembered that this was the tenth level magical beast that Chu Jingtian said he couldn't subdue. He looked into the distance and asked, "What is beyond the flaming lion's territory?"

Chu Jingtian let out a sigh of relief and said, "That is the border of the barrier. It's that terrifying barrier that makes it impossible for people to leave. Even my grandfather … "

Ye Wuchen did not say a word. He pulled Ning Xue and walked forward.

"Hey! Brother Ye, it is dangerous there! " Chu Jingtian hurriedly stood up and chased after it. At this moment, a lion's roar suddenly sounded in front of them. Chu Jingtian was shocked. He quickened his pace and stood in front of Ye Wuchen, "Brother Ye, it's that flaming lion. We've already entered its territory. Quickly leave with Tiny!"

Just as he finished speaking, another lion roar sounded. A two-meter-tall lion covered in red flames appeared in his line of sight. When it saw Chu Jingtian, it roared angrily and dashed towards him. Before it could even get close, it had already opened its mouth wide and spat out a huge fireball.

Chu Jingtian, who was on high alert, jumped to the side and escaped the path of the fireball. He grabbed his iron sword and was about to charge at the flaming lion. Suddenly, his pupils shrank and he remembered that Ye Wuchen and Ye Ningxue were standing behind him. He hurriedly shouted, "Quickly dodge!"

As the flame approached them, Ye Wuchen wanted to pull Ningxue to dodge. Suddenly, a strange feeling appeared in his heart. His eyes moved and he reached out to grab the flame.

Chi ~ ~ ~

The flame that even Chu Jingtian didn't dare to touch was caught by Ye Wuchen. Then, a blue light flashed in his palm and the flame was extinguished as if it had met with cold water.

Chu Jingtian's eyes widened as if he had seen the most unbelievable thing in the world.

Ye Wuchen glanced at his palm … It was completely unscathed. Not even a strand of hair was hurt. That ball of flame gave him a kind of warmth, not scorching heat.

Not only Chu Jingtian, but also the flaming lion was stunned. It roared again and released three balls of flame towards Ye Wuchen. Then, it rushed at him with a heavy momentum, forgetting its original target.

This time, Ye Wuchen didn't reach out to grab it, nor did he dodge. The three balls of flame hit his body and made him take three steps back. But he wasn't hurt at all. Even his clothes weren't burned. Facing the flaming lion, he waved his hands and two ice thorns formed in his palms. Then, he threw them at the flaming lion.

This was the lowest level water magic, "Icicle", that a level-one water magician in the Tianchen Continent could cast. Normally, this kind of attack would melt the level-ten flaming lion before it could even get close. But these two icicles flew at an extraordinary speed. In a short moment, they mercilessly pierced the flaming lion's eyes, the weakest part.

With a miserable roar, the flaming lion fell heavily to the ground. How could Chu Jingtian let go of this opportunity? He jumped up and gathered all his strength in his hands. With a loud roar, he stabbed the flaming lion's throat with his iron sword. The flaming lion's eyes were in great pain. It couldn't resist at all, and its throat was easily pierced. It struggled violently for a while, then couldn't move anymore.

Chu Jingtian pulled out his iron sword and poked the flaming lion. He laughed foolishly, "It died just like that? It died so easily? I fought it so many times, but I couldn't kill it. It even burned some of my clothes. "He gave a thumbs up to Ye Wuchen," Brother Ye, you're really something. I always wanted to pierce its eyes, but I didn't succeed even once. But you destroyed two of them so casually … Huh? You're also a water magician? "

Ye Wuchen's face was pale. He waved his hand and said, "It's just a coincidence. I know a bit of water magic, but I can only release the most basic icicles."

Ye Wuchen was telling the truth. He only released two of the most basic icicles, but he already felt that more than half of the energy in his body had been depleted.

"Brother Daniu, why don't you bring this flaming lion back first? I want to walk around here with Ningxue. Anyway, there won't be any danger here anymore, "Ye Wuchen said in a daze. His calm voice carried an obvious irrefutable tone.

Chu Jingtian was startled at first, then he nodded and said, "Alright, I'm a little tired from carrying so many things. You must go back early."

Soon, he carried the flaming lion, which no longer had any flames, on his shoulder. He dragged his many trophies and walked back. During this time, he secretly looked back several times to see what Ye Wuchen was going to do.

"Let's go," Holding the petite Ye Ningxue's hand, Ye Wuchen walked forward with a serious expression. After walking for about a hundred meters, he suddenly stopped because he felt as if he had bumped into a transparent wall. After frowning and thinking for a while, he suddenly carried Ningxue and put her ten meters away. He said seriously, "Stay here and don't move."

Ning Xue nodded her head obediently. Then, she stared at him without blinking as he walked back to his original position.

Is this the barrier that sealed this place?!

Ye Wuchen took a light breath and focused his eyes. He controlled a few streams of air in his body with some difficulty. He focused all the power of the "Wuchen Technique" on his right hand, causing his entire right hand to be covered in a transparent light. He shouted softly, turned his palm into a knife, and fiercely slashed at the transparent barrier in front of him.

Bzzt!

There was no expected collision or rumbling sound. After a light sound, a huge rebound force sent Ye Wuchen's body flying. He let out a muffled groan and rolled up from the ground. His left hand was holding his right hand that was in extreme pain, and cold sweat was dripping from his forehead.

"Brother!" An anxious shout was heard. Ye Ningxue hurriedly ran over. Her little face was full of panic. Ye Wuchen smiled and looked at her eyes that were about to overflow with tears. He said softly, "Little Cher, don't worry. I'm fine. I was just hit."
