Chapter 229 Escape from the Sea of Fire
The battlefield was changing rapidly, and no one had time to respond and take action.
I couldn't see who took the lead, but several spirits were knocked into the air. Others also attacked in this direction and soon gathered dozens of spirits into a group.
"Is that enough, little girl?" shouted the eldest of the five drunken brothers.
"A little more!" Xu Chuchu tried to be safe. If he failed this time, it would be difficult to gather people next time.
The wall of fire kept approaching, and the surrounding air became hotter and hotter. However, the remaining spirits were very scattered, and it was common to catch one and miss another.
"Is that enough?"
“Come again!”
…
"Now! I can't hold on any longer!" There are more or less spirits crawling on everyone's body. If you are not careful, the spirits will drill into your clothes and tear your flesh.
Xu Chuchu immediately ordered: "Alright, push!"
The masked man used his hands to direct the airflow, blowing all the gathered spirits towards the wall of fire.
There was a loud "bang"!
The burning of the spirit body caused an explosion of sparks, which then disappeared, and a gap appeared in the wall of fire as if someone had dug a spoon into it.
This time, there was no need for Xu Chuchu's reminder, and everyone ran towards the gap together.
Although there was no flame at the gap, the temperature was extremely high because it had just exploded, and there were constant hot flows and sand and gravel running around.
Taoist Priest Tian ran the fastest and was the first to rush over. His exposed skin was burned and his clothes were torn to shreds. He quickly turned back and warned, "Everyone, be careful. Use your spiritual power to protect yourselves!"
"Chu Chu!" The big orange cat ran fast on all fours and was about to run over when he felt a strong heat current in front of him and quickly turned back to help Xu Chu Chu.
Xu Chuchu had no spiritual power to protect him, and if he forced his way through, he would only be more seriously injured than Taoist Tian.
It doesn't matter what the old man looks like after being burned. It would be bad if Chuchu's skin was ruined because she is young and beautiful.
But before he could reach Xu Chuchu, he saw a black figure protecting her, holding her shoulders, wrapping the two of them with powerful spiritual power, and rushing past unharmed.
Daju followed subconsciously, but his tail was caught by the person behind him.
Chen Zhaozhi grabbed Daju's tail with both hands like pulling a carrot: "Master Cat, Master Cat, take me there! I don't have any spiritual power!"
Daju gritted his teeth in anger: "Useless stinky fox!"
He transformed into a human form and imitated the black-shirted man in front of him, carrying Chen Zhaozhi over.
But he had no experience after all, and his spiritual power was not distributed completely, so Chen Zhaozhi was still burned in several places on his body, and he screamed in pain.
As soon as the two monsters rushed past, almost at the same time, the wall of fire recovered and shot up into the sky, blocking everyone and the spirits that had not been cleaned up.
The spirits had no consciousness and only knew to follow the enemy's attack. They crashed into the wall of fire like moths to a flame and burned to ashes.
Then the wall of fire accelerated its contraction, gathered into a ball, exploded violently again, and then disappeared.
All that was left was a piece of burnt earth.
Everyone then understood why there were no foxtail flowers or other lush plants growing on this land... It was not because of anything else, but because it burned every few days.
"It was a close call, I almost didn't get out." Chen Zhaozhi put out the fire on his clothes with a dusty face, and he was still frightened.
This fire is not an ordinary flame. It should be the magic added by the fox clan. If it were not for a temporary gap blown out, ordinary spiritual power would not be able to withstand it.
"That was a close call!" Big Orange slapped him with his paw, "Pulling the cat's tail, did you know that pulling a cat's tail will give it diarrhea?"
After saying that, she threw herself into Xu Chuchu's arms, sobbing for comfort.
Xu Chuchu smiled and rubbed the cat's round head: "Big Orange came back to save me, right? Big Orange is so kind."
Daju rolled around in her arms coquettishly.
Xu Chuchu stroked his fur while looking towards the Five Drunk Brothers.
Someone had just saved her, but because the scene was so chaotic, the flying sand and rocks blocked her sight. She only knew that it was one of the Five Drunk Brothers, but she couldn't see who it was.
Judging from his height, he should be the one between the showy second brother and the masked and silent fifth brother.
And there seemed to be a familiar feeling about that person... It wasn't a smell, nor was it a level of cultivation, she couldn't put her finger on it.
But she probably had never seen these five people before, let alone been familiar with them. Why was that?
Everyone looked around and found that they had accidentally entered the back of the archway that the little red fox spirit had just guarded. Although it was not the exact back, they did not dare to move for a while.
They rested for a while, replenished their strength and energy, and then considered what to do next.
"Or... let's go home." Taoist Master Tian now had ointments on his hands and face. He had suffered a great loss and didn't dare to take advantage of others. He just wanted to go back to his Taoist temple and have a good sleep.
"Then give me back my inner elixir." Chen Zhaozhi said immediately.
"You wish!" Taoist Tian glared. "You foxes set a trap and hurt me like this. I'm being merciful by not taking your life. You still want to take back your inner elixir? I saw it a long time ago. You're not a pure demon, but half human, half demon. Losing your inner elixir won't affect you. Just be a good person."
Chen Zhaozhi was dissatisfied: "The inner elixir is what I have worked so hard for so many years to cultivate, how come it has no effect? Besides, it was you who wanted to fall into this trap. If you still fought when others told you not to, who can you blame?"
The eldest of the Five Drunk Brothers said to Taoist Tian with a smile, "How about this: the inner elixir belongs to you and the person belongs to us, achieving a win-win situation. How about that?"
Chen Zhaozhi was so angry that his face turned blue: "You divided me up and you still say it's a win-win situation?!"
He was surrounded by enemies on all sides and was in great danger. He suddenly had an idea and asked for help from Master Xu Chuchu, who was the most talkative.
He swooped around behind his master and gave her a back massage. "My benefactor, aren't you looking to see the fox tribe? Shall we continue inside? I'll lead the way and introduce you to the Fox Fairy."
"Chen Zhaozhi, didn't you just say you were back for the first time?" Xu Chuchu couldn't bear to listen any longer. "Here's a suggestion for you. Stand up and run deep into the mountains. See if the fox tribe can rescue you faster, or if they can catch up with you faster. That's enough. If you do something bad and want to get away with it, you have to pay the price."
Chen Zhaozhi didn't get angry when she said that. He moved behind her and gave her a back massage. "I'm doing this for your own good. Believe me, I'm a noble white fox. The fox fairy will give me face..."
Before he could finish his words, the masked man sitting opposite him suddenly stood up. His movements were so fast that they scared everyone. They thought there was another threat coming, but when they looked around, there was no one.
"Oh, don't worry, Old Five, he can't run away." The third and fourth brothers quickly pulled him down.
"Haha, forgive me, our fifth brother is a bit impatient." The second brother tried to smooth things over, "It's more important for us to unite and get out first."
