The red-robed young man stamped his right foot on the ground and transformed into a streak of red light, shooting through the air toward the distance. He quickly vanished from sight.
Han Debiao and the others remained where they were, waiting quietly.
After a while, an earth-shaking boom rang out. The ground trembled faintly, waves of air rolled forth, and a huge crimson sun appeared high in the sky, exceptionally eye-catching.
Han Debiao's expression tightened, his gaze grave.
Specks of crimson fire suddenly emerged in the air. After a blur, they transformed into the sword-browed, bright-eyed young man in red. Compared to before, his aura was much weaker, and he was dusty and disheveled, clearly having suffered no small loss.
"This beast is formidable indeed. If the Heavenflame Talisman Soldier hadn't mastered several escape techniques, it wouldn't have made it back."
Ouyang Sheng muttered to himself, his brow deeply furrowed.
"How was it? Was there a second fourth-rank Snowwind Lion in the nest?"
Ouyang Yao pressed, her expression tense.
"Unclear. The moment the Heavenflame Talisman Soldier entered the nest, it alerted the Snowwind Lion and nearly failed to return. There was no way to investigate it clearly. We should handle this as if there are two fourth-rank Snowwind Lions! Each of us will control one formation. As long as we trap them, Yulin can pick the Seven-Aperture Snow Apricot Fruit."
Ouyang Sheng suggested. Even the Heavenflame Talisman Soldier, which had mastered several escape techniques, had been left in such a sorry state. The outcome would be much the same if he went to scout personally. Having Golden Core cultivators scout the way was no different from sending them to their deaths.
With the Heavenflame Talisman Soldier present, it was equivalent to having the combat strength of a Nascent Soul Realm
