Hai Bodong was on the verge of tears. Everyone on their side was locked in fierce battles, while Xiao Yan was busy flirting with a fox!
"Xiao Yan! Hurry up and take the Heavenly Flame! I can't hold on much longer!" Hai Bodong's shouts had no effect whatsoever.
Elder Yao in the sky also noticed what was happening.
"Little Yan has been bewitched by the Nine-Tailed Illusion Fox!"
The Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion laughed wildly. "All of you can stay here, you hateful humans!"
"Endless Poison Mist!"
The Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion sprayed large amounts of purple gas from both sides of its body.
It formed a vast cloud of mist and drifted toward Elder Yao.
"Heavenly Flame, appear!"
A cluster of white flames appeared in Elder Yao's hand and immediately surged in size.
The massive flames filled half the sky, burning the poison mist away completely.
"A Heavenly Flame? It seems you humans are quite capable after all." The Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion spoke warily. Poison-type magical beasts like them feared Heavenly Flames the most.
Elder Yao used the Heavenly Flame to hold back the Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion while unleashing a Soul Power shockwave with his formidable spiritual strength.
Xiao Yan suddenly felt as though he had been transported somewhere else, back to the happy days of summer vacation, scrolling through short videos and watching pretty girls.
Then a slap struck him across the head, followed by a voice as booming as a great bell. "You brat, everyone outside is about to die, and you're still fooling around here?!"
Only then did Xiao Yan come to his senses and realize that he was still in the middle of his transmigration.
The next moment, Xiao Yan's heart-shaped eyes returned to normal.
When he looked up, he saw that Zi Shuang was covered in wounds after holding back the two sixth-tier magical beasts.
Elder Yao's body was becoming increasingly transparent, while Hai Bodong was nearly using his own body to block the magical beasts.
"Xiao Yan! If you don't get the Heavenly Flame now, we're all finished!" Hai Bodong roared as Xiao Yan spread his Purple Cloud Wings.
White Fox had not expected anyone to break her charm. She kicked off the ground and grabbed Xiao Yan's leg.
"Let go!" Xiao Yan exhausted all the Dou Qi in his body, but White Fox still clung tightly to him.
"You stinking human, do you think I want to grab you?!" White Fox threw her arms around him.
Xiao Yan had no time to think and could only charge toward the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire.
Seeing this, White Fox also pounced toward the Heavenly Flame. Xiao Yan hurriedly reached out and snatched the Heavenly Flame first.
The Myriad Beast Spirit Fire was rather hostile toward humans, and its scorching flames burned Xiao Yan's hand.
At the sight of this, all the fur on White Fox's body stood on end.
"Human boy, put down the Heavenly Flame."
Enduring the searing pain in his hand, Xiao Yan quickly swallowed an Ice Pulse Pill.
"Everyone! Retreat immediately! The Heavenly Flame is in our hands!"
When the Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion saw Xiao Yan seize the Heavenly Flame, it roared furiously, "None of you are leaving!"
Elder Yao's pupils abruptly widened. He suddenly sensed two more sixth-tier magical beast auras rapidly approaching.
After using her body to knock away the Golden Horned Tyrant Lion, Zi Shuang shouted, "Go! There are two more sixth-tier magical beasts nearby. They should be here by now!"
Xiao Yan flapped his Purple Cloud Wings and slipped through the gaps between several flying magical beasts. Just as he was about to escape, a piercing sound tore through the air.
A massive current of air sent him flying, and he crashed straight into the mountain.
A huge fiery-red figure appeared in the sky.
A sixth-tier magical beast—the Three-Legged Crow!
Powerful air currents erupted from its beak, making it impossible for any magical beast near it to pass through.
On the other side, the trees in the dense forest rose into the sky one after another. A gigantic figure several meters tall charged over, resembling an enormous gorilla.
A sixth-tier magical beast—the Titan Ape King!
The arrival of the two sixth-tier magical beasts instantly suppressed the entire battlefield.
A stream of fiery breath from the Mystic Fire Crow struck Zi Shuang in the chest. The purple crystal there melted away, leaving behind a scorched black patch.
Seeing this, Elder Yao quickly withdrew and guarded Zi Shuang's side.
Hai Bodong hurried over to check on Xiao Yan.
Elder Yao's clear eyes swept across the surroundings. He sighed helplessly. "Five sixth-tier magical beasts... It seems we miscalculated."
Zi Shuang snorted coldly and said quietly, "At worst, I'll take one down with me before I die."
The Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion approached the Three-Legged Crow and the Titan Ape King, while the Mystic Fire Crow and Golden Horned Tyrant Lion also landed.
"Demon Scorpion, didn't your Chuyun Empire boast that it was powerful? How did you let a few humans snatch the Heavenly Flame away?" The Three-Legged Crow, like the Mystic Fire Crow, came from the Luoyan Empire, so it had no need to be polite to the Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion.
"Aren't the magical beasts of your Luoyan Empire all supposed to fly in the sky? Why were you so slow this time?" The Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion wiped its pair of massive pincers.
The Titan Ape King and Golden Horned Tyrant Lion were both from the Mulan Empire, and neither of them liked to talk much.
"Enough. Let's take back the Heavenly Flame first. As for how to deal with these humans, we'll leave that to the elders." The Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion cut off their conversation, and the other four magical beasts nodded.
The Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion looked toward White Fox. "Huanhuan, you weren't hurt, were you?"
Yin Huanhuan nodded, indicating that she was fine.
Only then did the Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion breathe a sigh of relief. This little girl was a precious treasure; nothing could be allowed to happen to her.
The Mystic Fire Crow said gloomily, "If you ask me, we should kill the Amethyst Winged Lion King outright. There's no need to keep such trash alive."
Zi Shuang said disdainfully, "You still care about that? Who's the trash? Everyone knows the answer in their own heart."
The Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion stopped the Mystic Fire Crow.
"Enough. Take back the Heavenly Flame first. We'll deal with the rest afterward."
At the moment, the Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion was the strongest, so the Mystic Fire Crow could not argue with it.
Xiao Yan lay on the ground, nearly unable to move. His entire body ached from the fall.
Just as the Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion was about to take the Heavenly Flame from his hand, Hai Bodong suddenly stepped in front of Xiao Yan.
"Old Hai!"
"Forget it. We can't escape today. Perhaps I never should have believed that mysterious person's words." Hai Bodong smiled calmly.
Xiao Yan felt awful. In his mind, he cursed furiously, System! Get out here! Tell me what to do now! Didn't you send me to find the Heavenly Flame? I got it! Hurry up and give me my reward!
"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. Host, do not underestimate this system. As long as you swallow the Heavenly Flame, the system will automatically refine and absorb it for you! Isn't that thoughtful?"
Xiao Yan's eyes suddenly lit up. Damn, that really is thoughtful!
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion was about to throw Hai Bodong aside.
Yet Xiao Yan directly picked up the Heavenly Flame and forcibly swallowed it.
At that moment, the Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion had only one thought in its mind: this human was absolutely insane.
