Chen Zhou subconsciously thought to himself, but he didn't see anything.
All that remained around him was the giant elephant and his own flames; nothing else. Chen Zhou continued to unleash his flames—or rather, his limbs—as he was now using the Fire Transformation Technique to transform his body into flames.
"Hiss..."
Soft moans escaped Chen Zhou's lips; he truly felt a searing sensation, as if a flame were burning his body! He could no longer bear it, which was why he unconsciously uttered those sounds!
Chen Zhou immediately realized that something was wrong.
He immediately extinguished his flames and looked around again to sense his surroundings.
Only then did Chen Zhou realize with confusion that even though he had just subdued his flames, the surrounding flames showed no sign of diminishing. Instead, they remained unchanged.
This puzzled Chen Zhou. Were those flames also his own rootless fire?
Chen Zhou has been using the Rootless Fire for so long, so he naturally understands its characteristics! This Rootless Fire is completely under his control, but why hasn't the Rootless Fire been withdrawn even though he has clearly restrained his flames?
The only explanation is that the flame was not actually a fire without a source!
In other words, there are other flames mixed around Chen Zhou now. No wonder Chen Zhou felt a scorching sensation just now. It seems that it was those other flames that caused Chen Zhou to feel that scorching sensation! That's why Chen Zhou felt that scorching sensation.
"What's with these other flames?" Chen Zhou wondered. Could it be that the fire element in this teleportation channel has also emerged at this time?
Chen Zhou was very uneasy. He was already having a hard time dealing with just this one earth elemental, and now a fire elemental had appeared. How was he supposed to make a move?
"It seems I have to back down now. The temperature of this flame is just too high. Compared to my Rootless Flame, this flame is much hotter," Chen Zhou murmured. Although it was still hard to say which of the two flames was stronger, it was clear that, in terms of temperature alone, Chen Zhou's flame was no match for the other five flames!
If he continues to stay here, and the flames spread and trap Chen Zhou, he will have no choice but to be roasted into a dried-up corpse in the flames.
So while there's still time to back out, Chen Zhou must leave immediately; this situation is not a good thing for him.
Chen Zhou absolutely cannot stay here any longer.
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle..."
The flames continued to burn fiercely, and Chen Zhou only then realized that the flames had completely surrounded the giant elephant! Chen Zhou even noticed that many parts of the giant elephant had become charred black! Just moments ago, the giant elephant was moving within its own flames, but now it just stood there motionless!
In particular, the charred parts of the giant elephant were completely still!
"Could it be that the giant elephant can no longer use the charred parts?" Chen Zhou subconsciously thought, recalling the clumps of charred soil not far in front of him! Weren't those the cannonballs that spewed out from the giant elephant's body? Now they were charred black, so it seemed they were no longer usable!
Chen Zhou now understands that as long as the temperature of the flame is high enough and powerful enough to scorch the earth-attribute soil until it is charred black, then the soil will be no match for him.
Upon realizing this, Chen Zhou immediately came up with a solution. However, it seemed that he didn't need to carry it out himself; the nameless flame that had appeared would be of great help to him.
The flames would naturally scorch the giant elephant until it was charred black, and then disappear.
Chen Zhou was secretly relieved that the nameless flame was not entirely targeting him at the moment; it actually wanted to deal with the entire giant elephant before dealing with them.
Soon, Chen Zhou emerged from the flames and reappeared beside the middle-aged merchants in human form. The merchants hadn't left but had been waiting in the same spot.
"Isn't that your flame?" the middle-aged merchant asked. He had been following the battle closely and was aware of the situation.
"No, I'm afraid we've really encountered the five elements, and right now it's the fire element," Chen Zhou said slowly.
Now that we've considered it, if what's in front of them really is a fire element, then Chen Zhou and his group have truly encountered and fought against all the elements. If Chen Zhou were to recklessly engage in a direct confrontation with this fire element, he might not be a match for it.
Chen Zhou's rootless fire is strong because it is inexhaustible, not because of its apparent strength. In terms of current strength, Chen Zhou is definitely no match for the flames in front of him.
"That flame seems to be finishing off that giant elephant..." the middle-aged merchant said in shock, because he saw that the giant elephant not far ahead was completely unable to move, and its surface was completely charred black, covered with charred marks, and some parts had begun to peel off! The peeled-off areas were not charred, but under the continued scorching of the flames, they turned charred again! In this way, the entire giant elephant began to disintegrate.
The areas that had crumbled were filled with new mud and sand. As soon as the new mud and sand emerged, it was immediately scorched by the flames and quickly turned black again. So all the mud and sand that had fallen to the ground was now completely charred. Only after the entire giant elephant had crumbled did Chen Zhou realize that the flames were now expanding their range wildly, and the area in front of him had become a sea of fire.
