Hai Bodong was on the verge of tears; they were all locked in a desperate struggle, yet Xiao Yan was busy flirting with a fox!
"Xiao Yan! Hurry up and grab the Heavenly Flame! I can't hold on much longer!" Hai Bodong's shouts were completely useless.
Elder Yao, high in the sky, also noticed the situation.
Little Yanzi has been bewitched by the Nine-Tailed Illusion Fox!
The Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion laughed wildly, "You can all just stay here forever, you wretched humans!"
"Endless Poison Mist!"
The Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion spat out vast quantities of purple gas from both its sides.
It formed a massive cloud of mist that drifted toward Elder Yao.
"Heavenly Flame! Appear!"
A cluster of white flames appeared in Elder Yao's hand and instantly surged in size.
The colossal fire blanketed half the sky, incinerating the poison mist until nothing remained.
"A Heavenly Flame! It seems you humans are not so simple after all," the Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion said, feeling a hint of trepidation. After all, poison-type magical beasts feared nothing more than Heavenly Flames.
While Elder Yao used the Heavenly Flame to hold back the Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion, he simultaneously unleashed a soul shockwave with his formidable spiritual power.
Xiao Yan had suddenly felt as if he had been transported elsewhere, back to the carefree days of summer vacation, scrolling through social media and watching beautiful women.
Suddenly, a slap landed on his head, followed by a voice like a booming bell: "You brat, everyone outside is about to die, what are you doing here?"
Only then did Xiao Yan snap out of it, realizing he was still in the middle of his journey.
In the next second, Xiao Yan's eyes, which had been shaped like hearts, returned to normal.
He looked up to see Zi Shuang covered in wounds from holding off those two Rank 6 magical beasts.
Elder Yao's form was becoming increasingly translucent, and Hai Bodong was nearly using his own body to block the beasts.
"Xiao Yan! If you don't go get that Heavenly Flame right now, we're all going to end up as corpses here!" Hai Bodong roared, and Xiao Yan unfurled his Purple Cloud Wings.
The White Fox, never expecting her charm to be broken, kicked off the ground and latched onto Xiao Yan's leg.
"Let go!" Xiao Yan exhausted all the Dou Qi in his body, but the White Fox held on tight.
"You stinking human, you think I want to be holding onto you?!" The White Fox hugged him directly.
Xiao Yan had no time to think and charged straight toward the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire.
Seeing this, the White Fox lunged for the Heavenly Flame as well, but Xiao Yan reached out and snatched it first.
The Myriad Beast Spirit Fire was hostile toward humans, and the scorching heat burned Xiao Yan's hand.
Seeing this, the fur on the White Fox's body stood on end.
"Human brat, put the Heavenly Flame down."
Enduring the searing pain in his hand, Xiao Yan hurriedly swallowed an Ice Pulse Pill.
"Everyone! Retreat immediately, the Heavenly Flame is in our hands!"
Seeing Xiao Yan snatch the flame, the Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion roared in fury, "None of you are leaving!"
Elder Yao's pupils dilated instantly; he suddenly sensed two more Rank 6 magical beast auras moving rapidly toward them.
After using her physical strength to repel the Golden Horned Tyrant Lion, Zi Shuang shouted, "Go! There are two more Rank 6 magical beasts nearby. By the timing, they should be arriving now!"
Xiao Yan propelled his Purple Cloud Wings, weaving through the gaps between several flying magical beasts. Just as he was about to escape, a sound of air being torn apart reached him.
A massive gust of wind flipped him over, sending him crashing straight into the mountain.
A giant, fiery-red figure appeared in the sky.
The Rank 6 magical beast, the Three-Legged Crow!
Its mouth erupted with intense air currents, and no magical beast could pass through its vicinity.
On the other side, trees in the dense jungle were sent flying into the sky one by one. A behemoth several meters tall charged over, looking like a giant King Kong.
The Rank 6 magical beast, the Titan Ape King!
The arrival of the two Rank 6 magical beasts instantly suppressed the entire battlefield.
Zi Shuang was struck in the chest by a stream of fire from the Mystic Fire Crow. The purple crystal on her chest melted, leaving behind a charred patch.
Seeing this, Elder Yao retreated quickly to guard Zi Shuang.
Hai Bodong rushed over to check on Xiao Yan's condition.
Elder Yao's clear eyes scanned the surroundings, and he sighed helplessly, "Five Rank 6 magical beasts! It seems we miscalculated."
Zi Shuang let out a cold snort and whispered, "At worst, we'll take one down with us before we die."
The Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion approached the Three-Legged Crow and the Titan Ape King, while the Mystic Fire Crow and the Golden Horned Tyrant Lion also landed.
"Scorpion, isn't your Chuyun Empire supposed to be so powerful? How did you let a few humans snatch the Heavenly Flame?" The Three-Legged Crow, like the Mystic Fire Crow, belonged to the Luoyan Empire, so it saw no need to be polite to the Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion.
"Don't all the magical beasts of your Luoyan Empire fly in the sky? Why are you so slow this time?" The Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion clicked its massive pincers.
The Titan Ape King and the Golden Horned Tyrant Lion were both from the Mulan Empire, and neither of them was particularly fond of talking.
"Alright, let's retrieve the Heavenly Flame first. As for how to deal with these humans, we should leave that to our elders!" The Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion interrupted their conversation, and the other four magical beasts nodded in agreement.
The Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion looked toward the White Fox, "Huanhuan, you aren't hurt, are you?"
Yin Huanhuan nodded, indicating that she was fine.
Only then did the Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion heave a sigh of relief; this little girl was a precious treasure, and not a single mistake could be made regarding her.
The Mystic Fire Crow said sullenly, "In my opinion, we should just kill the Amethyst Winged Lion King. There's no need to keep such scum alive."
Zi Shuang said disdainfully, "You lot are still talking about this? Who is the real scum? Everyone knows that in their own hearts."
The Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion held the Mystic Fire Crow back.
"Enough, let's retrieve the Heavenly Flame first. We can deal with the rest later."
Since the Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion possessed the greatest strength at the moment, the Mystic Fire Crow found it difficult to argue with him.
Xiao Yan lay on the ground, barely able to move, his entire body aching from the fall.
Seeing the Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion approaching to take the Heavenly Flame from his hand, Hai Bodong suddenly stepped in front of Xiao Yan.
"Old Hai!"
"Forget it, there's no escaping today. Perhaps I shouldn't have believed the words of that mysterious person back then." Hai Bodong smiled calmly.
Xiao Yan felt a bitter taste in his heart, and he cursed furiously in his mind, "System! Get out here! Tell me what to do now! Didn't you want me to find the Heavenly Flame? I got it! Give me the reward already!"
"Ding, the host must absorb the Heavenly Flame for the mission to be considered complete."
"How am I supposed to absorb it in this situation!"
"Ding, the host shouldn't underestimate this System. As long as you swallow the Heavenly Flame, the System will automatically help you refine and absorb it! Isn't that incredibly thoughtful?"
Xiao Yan's eyes suddenly lit up. Damn, that really was thoughtful!
Under the gaze of everyone present, the Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion was about to toss Hai Bodong aside.
Instead, Xiao Yan grabbed the Heavenly Flame and swallowed it whole.
The only thought in the Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion's mind right now was that this human was absolutely insane.
