Chapter 147 Fire Card Quest: Though Late, It's Here
Hua Li and Tang Wanwan held their breath and carefully looked at the lawn not far away.
The next second, a teeth-grinding crushing sound rang out, as if some enormous thing was slowly squeezing a boulder. The ground beneath their feet began to tremble, and the fine sand around them rustled like insects.
Hua Li and Tang Wanwan exchanged a glance, the cold fabric of their cloaks clinging to their skin, their hearts pounding like drums.
The regular points system is too disadvantageous for small groups like theirs; other groups can eliminate entire groups one by one, with fewer high-quality monsters but a large quantity. The best way for them to quickly improve their ranking is to kill top-tier monsters.
Ever since Huali learned that she was coming to the Prelude Dream Secret Realm, she had asked Luo Chuan a lot about the habits of various monsters, and this Kui Zun fit the bill perfectly.
Soon, the golden dragon grass at the edge of the pit began to shake violently. The grass had slender leaves with an almost liquid purple sheen flowing through them, emitting an intense, irresistible, sweet and pungent smell—Kui Zun's favorite bait.
Beneath the blades of grass, the edge of the camouflaged soil rose silently, and a ferocious claw emerged.
Its claws were covered with layers of thick scales, each scale as large as a millstone with sharp edges like a blade. Even from just a small portion, a sense of savage power was overwhelming.
No wonder no one else had tried to stage an accident. Kaori held her breath, cold sweat streaming down her forehead.
Soon, a huge head emerged from the ground along with the second giant claw.
The triangular head of the Kui Zun was covered with bone plates thicker than its body. Its scarlet eyes scanned its newly emerged territory without emotion, and its huge mouth was slightly open, with foul-smelling saliva dripping continuously.
Ao Bai gasped, "Holy crap, a prehistoric behemoth, the Triceratops."
As the front half of the Kui Zun was fully exposed at the edge of the pit, its huge nostrils throbbed, instantly locking onto the swaying golden dragon grass at the edge of the pit.
Hua Li and Tang Wanwan's hands, which were clasped together, suddenly tightened.
The two men stared intently as the Kui Zun's scale-covered forelimbs stepped onto the camouflaged soil.
One step, two steps, three steps, just as its thick forelimbs suddenly lifted up and stomped heavily on the golden dragon grass.
"Crack—Boom!"
"Open the Nine Aperture Sealing Seal!"
With a loud shout from Tang Wanwan, the carefully laid trap was activated instantly! Kui Zun's massive body tilted violently, and as his scarlet pupils widened in astonishment, his body was pulled into the bottom of the pit by a tremendous force.
"roar--"
A roar that echoed across the wasteland swept in, and countless bolts of lightning exploded in the narrow pit! The impact slammed heavily into Hua Li and Tang Wanwan!
"The regenerating soil, rise!"
As the spiritual energy shockwave collided with the barrier, the regenerated soil shattered, and Tang Wanwan and Huali both coughed up blood.
The person outside the water mirror frowned instantly.
However, the two little girls in the mirror did not stop at all. Tang Wanwan's Xuanfeng Sword suddenly plunged into the scorching earth, and the Nine Apertures Sealing Spirit Seal pierced out several dazzling golden streams of light. The huge magic array veins surged wildly, turning into chains that tightly wrapped around Kui Zun's neck!
The poor student has a lot of stationery; she may not be academically gifted, but her family is wealthy!
The Kui Zun, with its mountain-like body, twisted and writhed wildly in the deep pit, causing huge rocks to crumble. Its scarlet eyes stared straight at Tang Wanwan, as if it wanted to tear her to pieces.
at the same time!
Karin's fire-type card flew out of her hand, "Crimson Lotus Blaze, Explode!!"
The space above the pit suddenly collapsed inward, and a huge ball of flame burst forth from the void! Like a collapsing and exploding sun, it instantly ignited the air within a radius of tens of feet, crashing down with terrifying, destructive power!
The Kui Zun's hard, thick scales melted rapidly like wax, churning in the pit as it struggled and roared incessantly!
Using the upgraded fire card for the first time, I didn't expect the SR card to be so powerful. Huali swallowed the metallic taste in her throat, her almond eyes shining brightly.
"Crimson Lotus Blaze, explode!!"
"Crimson Lotus Flowing Fire, Explode!!!"
She repeated this three times before her legs gave way, her knees slamming into the scorching ground. She leaned forward and looked into the giant pit with Tang Wanwan.
The incandescent steam dissipated, and the top-grade demon beast Kui Zun was completely shattered, leaving only a golden demon core slowly rising.
Tang Wanwan's tense face was as pale as paper, blood was still dripping from the corner of her lips, and her fingertips trembled uncontrollably, a sign of exhaustion after her spiritual energy was drained. She murmured in disbelief, "...We really did it?"
Hua Li reached out and grasped the fist-sized demon core in her hand, wincing in pain all over her body. "Reincarnation of life and death, nurture!"
As the gentle healing spiritual energy enveloped the two of them, a beam of white light rushed over and headed straight for the Nine Apertures Sealing Seal at the bottom of the pit!
Huali was startled, but her actions were faster than her thoughts. As the vines quickly pulled the spirit seal back, a snow-white weasel was also thrown into her arms.
Huali lowered her head and met a pair of black bean eyes.
The rapid and powerful hoofbeats from behind tore through the deathly silence of the aftermath of the disaster. The snow-white Pegasus, like an arrow released from a bow, broke through the still-dissipating dust and came to a sudden stop dozens of feet away from the lava pit!
Shen Yu's hawk-like gaze pierced through the rising heat and instantly locked onto the rosewood by the pit.
The girl's long hair was already torn and messy by sweat and dust, and several bright red wounds on her fair face were particularly eye-catching, but all this dishevelment could not hide the spiritedness that was bursting forth from her!
Like the reeds on the grasslands of Canglan Prefecture, which are broken by wind and sand but still deeply rooted in the earth, after the storm, they raise their golden ears, exuding a scorching sharpness and indomitable vitality.
Shen Yu's eyes flashed with unwavering appreciation, but he froze for a moment when he saw the Hitomi Weasel in Hua Li's hand.
Seeing the other party charging over, Huali immediately grabbed Tang Wanwan, "Quick, quick, Shen Yu is coming to snatch it, quickly divide up the demon core."
Tang Wanwan was startled. "Oh, oh, oh," Xuanfeng Swordsman swiftly cut the demon core in two, then broke off a piece the size of a fingernail and gave it to Ao Bai. "Quickly look at the communication stone."
The two who were originally at the bottom climbed all the way up, going from last place to second.
Huali exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? How come my score is several hundred points higher than yours?"
Tang Wanwan pointed to the weasel in her hand, "This can also be considered as points, right?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Chen Yu had already approached, his amber pupils fixed on the weasel in Hua Li's hand. Even a fool could see why he had come.
As soon as Tang Wanwan saw Shen Yu, she immediately nudged Hua Li, "This little demon beast is also an expert at treasure hunting, we absolutely can't let him get away with this for nothing."
Hua Li's eyes lit up. Treasure hunting? Without hesitation, she placed the demonic beast into Qing Lin's pet. "Whoever touches a demonic beast in the secret realm keeps it. Don't try to scam me."
Shen Yu was almost amused by this scoundrel, but the other party's words, though crude, were reasonable. Without any hesitation, he said, "Name your price, how about a thousand high-grade spirit stones?"
"A thousand high-grade spirit stones?" Hua Li stiffened, but said firmly, "Am I the kind of person who's greedy for money?"
“You are,” Shen Yu nodded, “Sanqian.”
Three thousand? Top grade? Spirit stones!
If the weasel is gone, you can catch another one. But if she doesn't take these three thousand spirit stones, she'll cry in her dreams!
Without the slightest hesitation, Karin immediately reached out to grab the Hitomi Weasel.
Suddenly, a long-lost sound of electricity came through.
The headquarters system, which had been silent since the time of the Witch Clan, suddenly resurfaced: "Fire Card Mission activated. Mission 1: Join forces with the Chosen One to break the ancient restriction. Mission reward: half a star."
