Xiuyan saw the strange flames and thought Ye Lei had been burned.

"I'm fine. Luckily I dodged quickly. Good heavens, you really are living up to your name, Red Boy!"

Ye Lei patted his charred head with satisfaction, and Red Boy chuckled upon hearing Ye Lei's praise.

"Brother Lei, it burned itself like this, is it alright?"

"Does it look like something's wrong?"

"That's true. So what do we do next?"

Xiuyan looked at the charred Red Boy and was at a loss.

"We have to clean it up first, right? We can't let it turn into a black child, can we?"

Ye Lei said with a smile.

"Oh, I'll give it a try."

Xiuyan found a clean cloth and tried to wipe Hong Haier's body, but unfortunately, she couldn't wipe it off no matter how hard she tried.

Ye Lei then rubbed its forehead vigorously with his hand, and soon the crystal core appeared.

It turned yellow, which means it has grown into a level one corpse general. Does that mean that corpse generals can awaken superpowers?

Ye Lei remembered the giant elephant corpse general, but he didn't know what its special ability was. Maybe it was just immense strength, but it had already been blown up, so he couldn't find out.

"Brother Lei, I can't wipe it off!"

Xiuyan has done her best.

"Xiuyan, have you noticed something? When ordinary people get burned, shouldn't their skin be red? Why is it black?"

"Oh, right, I almost forgot about it if you hadn't mentioned it. What happened?"

Ye Lei's words reminded Xiuyan and made them fall into deep thought again.
