"Swallow Fire, Spit Flame!"
Several Suan Ni airships flew through the sky, surrounding a volcanic region in the wasteland. A group of red ape demons lived in these volcanoes. They were no stronger than the fifth tier, and their greatest skill was manipulating underground fire to turn the land into a sea of flames.

Thus, one of the thirty-six fifth-tier bloodlines needed for the ritual had been secured.
Unfortunately, the ritual required thirty-six different fifth-tier bloodlines, not thirty-six samples. So even though the Suan Ni Retainers had killed and burned more than ten fifth-tier red apes here, they could only take one sample of a fifth-tier bloodline.
