Flame Mountain

However, just as the two Violent Rabbits took a step forward.

The Thorn Grass summoned beast suddenly moved, charging at Li Xuan like lightning.

Several of its sharp, thorny branches lashed fiercely at Li Xuan's wings, leaving afterimages behind them.

This sudden attack startled the two Violent Rabbits, and they then revealed regretful expressions.

They seemed to think that the delicious pigeon meat was about to be stolen from them, but they could not afford to provoke the Thorn Grass and could only sigh helplessly.

But at that very moment, just as the two Violent Rabbits sighed.

They discovered in shock that the white God Pigeon had suddenly turned its head and opened its beak.

The next second, blazing flames condensed into a fireball that shot out abruptly with scorching heat.

Boom!

Flames surged, and thick smoke billowed. The Thorn Grass summoned beast shook violently and let out a miserable wail.

The entire Thorn Grass was covered in flames and burned frantically.

The fire, as though it were its natural nemesis, left the Thorn Grass utterly unable to resist. It could only be reduced to ashes in agony.

Flap, flap!

The God Pigeon landed where the Thorn Grass had died and searched carefully. In the end, it picked up a small, crystalline gem.

The little crystal was beautiful, gleaming like a diamond. It was a beast core, something unique to native summoned beasts.

With the beast core in its beak, Li Xuan glanced at the two Violent Rabbits, then flapped his wings and headed toward the water source area.

Only the two Violent Rabbits remained where they were, standing dumbly with terror filling their eyes.

It took them quite a while to recover, but they were still deeply shocked.

Chat Channel.

After remaining silent for a long time, the chat channel suddenly received a message.

"My god, guess what I saw? I nearly came close to death again," Violent Rabbit said.

"What happened? What danger did you run into this time?" Mighty Tiger asked curiously.

"It was a God Pigeon. We ran into a Thorn Grass summoned beast, as well as a God Pigeon. We originally wanted to kill the God Pigeon, but guess what happened?"

"What happened? Hurry up and tell us. Stop keeping us in suspense," Mighty Tiger urged.

"The Thorn Grass ended up attacking the God Pigeon. Its attack speed was incredibly fast—none of us could move that quickly," Violent Rabbit explained.

"That is only natural. Thorn Grass has combat power close to a Black Iron summoned beast. That God Pigeon was probably killed in a single strike."

Gale Mouse commented casually, carrying himself like a seasoned gamer.

"Wrong, completely wrong. We thought so too at first, but we were all wrong," Violent Rabbit hurriedly denied it.

"How could that be wrong? The Survival Guide says that a God Pigeon is not much stronger in combat than an ordinary pigeon. Its greatest advantage is scouting.

Could it be that the God Pigeon dodged the attack at the critical moment and flew away?" Gale Mouse asked in confusion.

"No. From beginning to end, that God Pigeon remained calm. When it was attacked, it actually spat out a huge fireball and burned the Thorn Grass to death in one go. It was far too powerful."

Violent Rabbit explained with lingering fear, his eyes filled with shock.

"Impossible, right? How could a God Pigeon spit fireballs? Isn't it only capable of scouting?" Gale Mouse could not understand.

"Maybe we saw it wrong. Perhaps it was not a God Pigeon, but a summoned beast that looked very similar to one," Violent Rabbit said uncertainly.

"There is actually a summoned beast like that? The Survival Guide's descriptions are still far too limited. We should be more careful about surviving in the future," Gale Mouse sighed.

"Yeah. Even my senior was frightened. It was his first time seeing something like this too." Violent Rabbit felt that this world was far too dangerous.

"Everyone should sign a contract with a summoner as soon as possible. If you can contract with a rich one, you might obtain a large amount of resources.

Even if the resources are limited, you can still rapidly increase your soul strength and advance to Black Iron rank sooner," Gale Mouse kindly reminded them.

"Mm, I am preparing to make a contract and catch up to Lord Shapeshifter Beast," Violent Rabbit replied.

"Tsk, tsk. You are only thinking of making contracts now? You are far too slow. I forgot to tell you—I have already made a contract.

And I am no longer in the Summoned Beast World. I am in the safe Island World," Black-Furred Dog said casually.

"You have already made a contract? How is it? Is it like the Survival Guide says, capable of increasing soul strength a hundredfold?" Gale Mouse hurriedly asked.

"More or less. And when summoned by your master, you automatically learn the writing and language of the corresponding world. More importantly, you get to eat plenty of natural treasures. My master is a prince, and he gave me many beast cores and Black Origin Grass.

I have eaten quite a few good things. My skills have already reached the intermediate level, and I am working hard to increase my strength and advance toward becoming a Black Iron summoned beast," Black-Furred Dog said proudly.

"It is actually that good? I truly never expected it," Gale Mouse said enviously.

"Of course. I no longer need to worry about food or drink. I play with the prince every day, and my strength can still improve rapidly. I do not have to struggle so bitterly anymore," Black-Furred Dog replied blissfully.

"I am so jealous. When will I be contracted? I even went hungry yesterday," Mighty Tiger said enviously.

"You will have your chances in the future, but it takes time. Perhaps by then, I will already have become the strongest among us, a powerhouse surpassing Blazing Hound and Shapeshifter Beast."

Black-Furred Dog made a grand declaration, somewhat looking down on everyone else.

"Is that so? You?" The silent Blazing Hound finally spoke. As the only Black Iron summoned beast, he had always considered himself the strongest.

First Shapeshifter Beast had started selling things at the auction house, and now a Black-Furred Dog had appeared and started boasting. This made Blazing Hound very displeased, and his words became much colder.

"Blazing Hound, just wait. Once I reach Black Iron rank, I will fight you sooner or later and see who is stronger," Black-Furred Dog declared confidently.

"Fine. You had better not be too weak. Otherwise, you will not even be qualified to challenge me." Blazing Hound sneered, still looking down on Black-Furred Dog.

"Heh, you only became Black Iron rank because of luck. But you do not have a master, so you will never be able to increase your strength quickly." Black-Furred Dog refused to back down and continued to trade barbs.

The two of them argued and provoked each other like two needles meeting wheat stalks, wasting quite a bit of time.

During that time, after eating and drinking his fill, Li Xuan flapped his white wings and flew straight toward Flame Mountain, intending to search for Flame Flowers.

According to his memories, Flame Mountain was not far away. He arrived after flying for more than ten minutes, though he had rested twice along the way.

This pigeon body was simply too weak, and his soul was fatigued as well, so Li Xuan chose to rest.

"Once my fireball ability advances, I'll Self-Destruct and reincarnate. Then I'll find a summoner to make a contract with, strengthen my soul, and improve my strength as much as possible to become stronger."

Having made up his mind, Li Xuan began observing Flame Mountain, where heat waves rolled endlessly. His God's-Eye View naturally unfolded as he searched carefully.

To his delight, there were no Fire Peacocks on Flame Mountain. They seemed to have gone out, and under God's-Eye View, Li Xuan immediately discovered a Flame Flower.
