Seeing that those monstrous dogs were about to reappear in the forest, He Buxian, the Fallen Black Phoenix, and Feng Changge finally stopped bickering and, unusually, all showed serious expressions.
The Fallen Black Phoenix and Feng Changge listened intently to He Buxian's explanation.
In any case, He Buxian had been to this godforsaken place before, so he was more experienced than them.
These experiences were all earned by He Buxian with his own blood and tears, so they are naturally quite valuable.
"These dark green insects, though parasitic, are terrified of fire. Coincidentally, the one thing we have plenty of here is real fire." After saying this, He Buxian looked at the Fallen Black Phoenix and then at Fengchang Pavilion.
Both of them couldn't help but smile upon hearing this.
Phoenix True Fire is the most important thing of the ancient Phoenix Clan. It is the most realistic flame in the entire fantasy world and the most powerful force among the fire element.
Therefore, both of them were confident that they could easily deal with those dark green insects using their own fire power.
"Just you wait and see, my primordial flame is definitely stronger than yours." Feng Changge said, puffing out his chest and looking at the Fallen Black Phoenix with smug satisfaction.
The Fallen Black Phoenix remained noncommittal after hearing this, only letting out a cold laugh.
Just when He Buxian thought that the Fallen Black Phoenix wouldn't stoop to the level of Feng Changge, he heard the Fallen Black Phoenix speak.
"We'll see who's stronger in a bit," the Fallen Black Phoenix said calmly, her tone utterly composed.
The moment he said those words, He Buxian nearly coughed up a mouthful of blood.
I thought the Fallen Black Phoenix had matured a bit, but it turns out it was all just my imagination.
Or perhaps the intensity of the flames was extremely important to the ancient phoenix clan.
Seeing the tense atmosphere between the Fallen Black Phoenix and Feng Changge, He Buxian didn't know what to say for the time being.
It could only be thankful that the two were just comparing the intensity of their flames on those dark green insects, and not actually going to fight.
"Ugh, that Fallen Black Phoenix is really something. He's so much stronger than that brat from Fengchang Pavilion, yet he still has the nerve to compare himself to him," He Buxian thought to himself.
She had already foreseen the outcome of this competition.
However, this was clearly not the time to say such things, and it was rare that Feng Changge didn't say anything even more offensive.
"Alright, let's have a contest!" Feng Changge said seriously, "Anyway, you've already fallen, and the Phoenix True Fire has likely been corrupted as well!"
"Even if I'm corrupted, I'm still better than you. All talk and no action, just empty words." The Fallen Black Phoenix remained indifferent.
In front of Feng Changge, the Fallen Black Phoenix seemed to have matured a bit. It was only after the Black-Robed High Priest dismissed her grandmother that the Fallen Black Phoenix was so easily provoked.
"In short, during the battle later, you must be very careful not to fall into the crevice."
"Be especially careful of the ground beneath your feet; it could crack open at any moment, creating a huge fissure. If any of you fall in, I don't think I'll be able to rescue you."
"Because I fell in last time. Once inside, spiritual energy is compressed to its limit, almost non-existent. Under those circumstances, I had no way to protect myself."
"It was only because the Palace Master was there that I was able to escape danger. Otherwise, I think I would have been parasitized by these dark green insects by now."
He Buxian said that everything he said was 100% true, without the slightest exaggeration.
"Oh, right, I forgot to tell you, these dark green little bugs are quite intelligent; they know how to parasitize living creatures."
"The hound-like monster we'll see in a moment is actually just a lump of dead flesh, because it has lost its flesh and blood after being parasitized by these dark green insects."
"Although the body can still move freely, it mainly contains the excrement of these dark green worms, rather than flesh and blood."
He Buxian immediately recounted all the dangerous situations and also told the Fallen Black Phoenix and Feng Changge all the solutions.
Before those monstrous dogs actually climbed up, He Buxian gave a serious assessment of the three people's strength.
Although it's called a sorting, everyone present actually knows the order, but no one actually says it out loud.
The first place naturally belongs to the Fallen Black Phoenix. The next person is He Buxian. As for Feng Changge, he is undoubtedly the last place.
After stopping He Buxian's sorting, the Fallen Black Phoenix glanced at him thoughtfully.
Before this, he hadn't expected that He Buxian would actually admit that he was stronger than him.
He had initially thought that this kid would shamelessly place his power on par with his own.
"The reason we used that term is so that we can help each other if something unexpected happens. If something happens to Feng Changge, both of us can help. If something happens to both of us, then we'll have to rely on you."
He Buxian looked intently at the Fallen Black Phoenix and said.
Upon hearing this, the Fallen Black Phoenix nodded, feigning indifference. However, it was clear to everyone that the Fallen Black Phoenix was quite pleased with He Buxian's "praise."
However, He Buxian believed that the person most capable of resolving the current situation was actually the Palace Master, but the Palace Master was tied up by the Water Drop Man and was powerless to do so even if he wanted to.
In this situation, even if we ask the Palace Master for help, he would be too busy to help us.
"There's bound to be a fierce battle here. The three of us should prepare for combat."
"It's best to work together. Now is not the time for infighting. In any case, let's get through this problem first."
He Buxian said seriously, looking at the Fallen Black Phoenix, who nodded noncommittally.
Next, He Buxian looked at Feng Changge, mainly because Feng Changge's poison was too potent.
Of the three, he was the youngest and also the least cooperative. He was young and arrogant, believing he could do anything, but in reality, he was the weakest.
In this battle, the slightest carelessness could lead to certain death!
