Chapter 213

"Little girl, I... you..."

Seeing that the girl in front of him didn't seem to have any malicious intent, Xiao Huohuo felt a little more at ease. However, just as he was about to say something, Yun Li interrupted him without any politeness.

"As a swordsman, one must never lay down one's sword, no matter the circumstances!"

"Swords are also important friends; they have their own feelings too."

Unlike other swordsmen, Yun Li has a talent for communicating with swords and treats her weapons like friends.

She disliked this behavior of leaving the sword aside.

"Swordsman?"

What kind of swordsman?

Yun Li's words left Xiao Huohuo somewhat bewildered. Wasn't this the Heavy Ruler? And if he was talking about a swordsman, he was just a fighter...

In this world, everyone pursues fighting spirit and skills, not swordsmanship.

However, he also understood Yun Li's meaning. She valued weapons highly and was not happy about his use of the heavy ruler.

"I didn't mean to leave it behind. The shockwave was just too terrifying, and I couldn't keep my balance. I will take good care of the heavy ruler."

Xiao Huohuo quickly explained that in the previous situation, there was nothing that could be done about the heavy ruler being left aside.

Although he had only ever used the weighted ruler to train himself, he still valued the weapon his teacher had given him very much.

"Stop making excuses, it will tell me what's going on."

Yun Li didn't want to hear any explanations. It was a fact that she had picked up the heavy ruler sword from the side. Besides, although she was worthy of this black greatsword, the greatsword also had its own grievances.

Xiao Huohuo didn't consider it a friend, nor did he have any feelings for it; it was just a simple device!

This made Yun Li very unhappy, especially since this weapon was the same as Old Iron's.

Therefore, compared to other swords, this heavy ruler was more important to Yun Li. She didn't want to see a weapon like Old Iron being wasted in someone else's hands!

"Tell you?"

Yun Li's words puzzled Xiao Huohuo even more. How could the sword tell her the situation?

However, watching Yun Li and Chong Chi interact, it seemed as if his Chong Chi was really communicating with her, which Xiao Huohuo.

It can actually communicate with weapons? No, that's not right. My own heavy ruler actually has emotions and consciousness?

Why did my teacher never tell me this?

"I will keep this greatsword for the time being."

"If you want it back, that's not impossible, as long as you can defeat me, or defeat me with swordsmanship..."

He casually placed it beside him, and Yun Li's voice rang out again, but it made Xiao Huohuo freeze, feeling that his heavy ruler was about to leave him completely.

How to defeat the girl in front of me?

Thinking about that attack just now, I wonder when it will be over.

(He really is a greatsword user; even over there, you rarely see someone like him.)

(But anyway, little guy... your life is saved. As for the heavy ruler, we'll figure that out later.)

At this moment, the Old Medicine's voice rang in Xiao Huo's mind. Based on the current situation, his disciple's life was saved.

This is the greatest fortune...

As for the rest, we'll have to talk about that later!

"..."

Xiao Huohuo hesitated for a moment upon hearing this. This heavy ruler had become an indispensable part of his daily training.

Without it, many training methods become difficult. More importantly, the Earth-grade Dou Technique taught by the teacher also require it to be used.

Just as Xiao Huohuo was pondering what to do, another person ran over from the side.

"Miss Yun Li, what happened? Why is there such a commotion..."

Little Fairy Doctor arrived breathlessly, startled by the commotion. Even after gathering the Spiritual medicine, she still chose to run over.

Before she could finish speaking, she noticed the boy next to Yun Li and was taken aback.

"...Xiao... Xiao Huohuo?!"

Before entering the depths of the Monster Beast Mountain Range, she wondered if she would encounter Xiao Huohuo, but she never expected to actually meet him.

"Little Fairy Doctor? What are you doing here?"

Xiao Huohuo also noticed the presence of Little Fairy Doctor at this moment, and was extremely surprised. Shouldn't she be in Qingshan Town?

How did they end up deep within this dangerous Monster Beast Mountain Range?

"Thank goodness, you're alright."

Little Fairy Doctor quickly ran over, and after confirming that Xiao Huohuo was alright, she relaxed.

For some reason, when she saw Xiao Huohuo again, Xiao Yixian wasn't as excited as she had imagined.

That slight goodwill hadn't disappeared, but it hadn't grown any further.

Perhaps it's because of my experiences recently...

Little Fairy Doctor didn't think much of it; she was happy to be reunited with him.

Xiao Huohuo was quite surprised that Little Fairy Doctor knew Yun Li; it was truly a coincidence.

Once everyone understands the situation, things become simpler.

"So Mr. Yao and the Wolf Head Mercenary Group members are all dead..."

Sitting on a clean patch of grass, Xiao Huohuo learned from Little Fairy Doctor about the events that happened in Qingshan Town after he entered the depths of the Monster Beast Mountain Range.

This filled him with mixed emotions!

I originally thought that I would have to wait until I reached the level of Nine-star Dou Zhe or even a Dou Shi to avenge the Wolf Head Mercenary Group.

Unexpectedly, the other party provoked someone they shouldn't have, courting death and being killed by Yun Li.

Although I was relieved to have one less enemy, I was also a little disappointed that I hadn't been able to take action myself.

"Since the Wolf Head Mercenary Group has been wiped out, why did you come to the depths of the Monster Beast Mountain Range, Little Fairy Doctor?"

Without Mu She's threat, there was no need to come to such a dangerous place; in fact, he hadn't planned to come to this depths in the first place.

After all, the magical beasts deep inside were far too powerful, putting immense pressure on him. If it weren't for his teacher's protection, he would have been in grave danger long ago.

"It's Miss Yun Li who wants to come in, looking for some Beast Fire and amethyst..."

Little Fairy Doctor glanced at Yun Li, who was sitting beside her, eating Candied Hawthorn Skewers. Yun Li looked incredibly cute, completely unrecognizable from the terrifying, violent little girl she had been before.

"Beast Fire? Amethyst?"

Xiao Huohuo was taken aback, sensing that it was something very important, and subconsciously asked the teacher about it.

(Teacher, do you know what that is?)

(... Beast Fire, also known as the flames within a magical beast, is usually obtained by the beast through cultivation. It has high temperature and power, and is a manifestation of the beast's strength. It can also be used for alchemy.)

Logically speaking, when faced with a powerful figure he couldn't understand, Old Medicine should have immediately severed ties with Xiao Huohuo.

To avoid being discovered...

Although ordinary people would never be able to detect its existence, those with strength at the Douhuang level or above would be able to sense its Soul body.

He still answered Xiao Huohuo's question.

(So that's it, she was looking for this kind of flame? Could she be a Yaoshi too?)

Looking at the adorable little girl in front of him, Xiao Huohuo was puzzled.

(I don't know, but it doesn't seem like it. Even if you're not Yaoshi, Beast Fire still has considerable uses, so it's not surprising that you'd be looking for it.)

The Old Medicine couldn't see through Yun Li at all, so he didn't know the specifics.

But as one of the top Yaoshi on the continent, his intuition told him that Yun Li didn't seem like Yaoshi at all.

(I wonder how Beast Fire compares to strange fire?)

Xiao Huohuo still doesn't have her own flame, but now that she knows about the Beast Fire, she feels a bit hopeful.

Before obtaining the strange fire, it would be good to be able to subdue the Beast Fire.

(It's incomparable. Although Beast Fire is incredibly hot, it still pales in comparison to strange fire. Strange fire is a flame born between heaven and earth, and its numbers are extremely rare; there are only about twenty kinds in the entire world.)

(Not only are they extremely hot, but they also possess special abilities. As the saying goes, "When a strange fire is unleashed, all other fires submit." Strange fire holds a supreme and Qiongshi Bird Skewers position among flames!)

(A strange fire...)

Listening to the Old Medicine's introduction, Xiao Huohuo was filled with anticipation, wondering when he would be able to obtain his own strange fire.

"By the way, Xiao Huohuo, you've been here for so long, do you know where that Warcraft King Lion King is?"

The spiritual exchange between Xiao Huohuo and his teacher was very brief. At this moment, Little Fairy Doctor suddenly thought of something and asked him a question.

Yun Li is going to find the Purple-eyed Winged Lion Emperor, but there's been no news yet.

"..."

Hearing Little Fairy Doctor's question, Yun Li, who was eating Candied Hawthorn Skewers next to her, was a little surprised.

I never expected that she would ask Xiao Huohuo about this for me. It was truly unexpected. It seems that I didn't misjudge her. She didn't forget me just because she saw someone she liked.

In reality, Yun Li didn't need her to ask at all.

If Yun Li really wanted to find that monster king, it would be very simple: just provoke it in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, and it would definitely show up.

Alternatively, you could focus on the few magical beasts with the strongest auras in the Monster Beast Mountain Range and search for them one by one.

She wasn't in a hurry, though. She'd had plenty to gain along the way, so she wasn't rushing off. Besides, she was waiting for a Battle Emperor with the same surname as her to see if she would appear to find the magical beast...

If it happens, it won't be too late for her to deal with the Purple-eyed Winged Lion Emperor.

"What?! The Warcraft King?!"

That's a sixth-tier magical beast! Is this little girl going to find a sixth-tier magical beast?

Hearing this, Xiao Huohuo down his spine. Even a fourth-tier magical beast was beyond his ability to handle without his teacher's help, let alone a sixth-tier magical beast.

That's a magical beast comparable to a Dou Huang!

"Sorry, although I've been here for a while, I don't know the location of the Warcraft King..."

Coming to her senses, Xiao Huohuo shook her head.

He has no access to magical beasts of that level right now.

But the girl in front of me is named Yun Li?

The name immediately reminded Xiao Huohuo of the Yunlan Sect, leading him to wonder if she had some kind of relationship with it.

That would be a real headache. Xiao Huohuo didn't have much affection for the Yunlan Sect. Besides, the three-year agreement was still fresh in his mind, and he absolutely couldn't afford to lose.

Because this is not just his personal matter, but the dignity and face of the entire Xiao family.

After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Huohuo cautiously asked Yun Li beside him if she had any connection with the Yunlan Sect.

"Yunlan Sect? I'm not familiar with that!"

After swallowing the last Candied Hawthorn Skewers in her hand, Yun Li tossed away the stick and answered casually.

This put Xiao Huohuo at ease. Otherwise, if Yun Li really was a member of the Yunlan Sect, it would be difficult to get close to him due to his grudges with the Yunlan Sect.

"However, I will go to the Yunlan Sect to take a look when I have time."

After all, they share the same surname, Yun Li, and she still harbors some thoughts about the Yunlan Sect.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have cared about the sect leader's appearance.

Of course, there's no need to keep that old guy from Yun Shan around...

"..."
