The two hid behind a rock at the valley entrance, carefully observing the terrain and the activity patterns of the Fire Lizard.
The entire valley is bowl-shaped, with a volcanic crater at the bottom that is 100 meters in diameter. Dozens of caves are densely distributed on the surrounding rock walls—these are the nests of Fire Lizard.
Roughly estimated, there are at least two hundred Fire Lizard in the valley, a third of which have reached the second rank, and more than a dozen of which are at the third rank. In the deepest part, Xiao Yan sensed a hidden but powerful aura that surpassed that of ordinary Magical Beast from the Three Realms.
However, since there was no direct contact, Xiao Yan only sensed it slightly.
It cannot be definitively determined that it is Fourth-Order Magical Beast.
"Trying to force your way in is suicide."
Xiao Yan lowered his voice and said to Xiao Huohuo, "We need to lure them out in batches."
With so many Fire Lizard, even Dou Ling would be worn down and killed if it fell into them.
Unless one is a Dou Wang level expert, in the case of Dou Qi transforming into wings.
Only by escaping mid-air can one escape unscathed.
Xiao Huohuo nodded in agreement:
" Fire Lizard have a very strong sense of territory, so we can use the scent of the Fire Lizard Heart as bait."
They are very sensitive to energy crystals of their own kind, and will perceive them as intruders stealing their resources.
Listening to their plan, the Yao Lao nodded secretly and said aloud:
"Good. But you need to be careful with the pace. The number drawn out each time should not exceed twenty, otherwise it will easily get out of control."
After all, the fire elemental energy around this valley is very concentrated, giving these Magical Beast a natural advantage.
The two nodded upon hearing the Yao Lao's instructions, and then retreated to the outer edge of the valley.
They found a secluded depression to serve as the battlefield.
Xiao Huohuo Fire Lizard Heart he had collected in the oasis from his Storage Ring, crushed one, and placed it in the center. The two hid behind a rock, concealed their presence, and waited quietly.
The pure fire-attribute energy of the Fire Lizard Heart spread through the air, and soon, a rustling crawling sound could be heard from ahead.
The first group attracted consisted of fifteen Fire Lizard, twelve of which were Tier 1 and three Tier 2. They cautiously approached the depression, their dark golden pupils scanning their surroundings, their forked tongues probing for pheromones in the air.
"They're here." Xiao Huohuo gripped the Heavy Xuan Ruler.
As the Fire Lizard swarm entered the depression and began vying for the Fire Lizard Heart, white flames suddenly appeared in Xiao Yan's eyes.
" Cold Fire, go!"
Cold white flames instantly spread out, engulfing the entire depression!
A chilling aura emanated from the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, exuding an extreme icy coldness.
The low temperature clashed violently with the fire-elemental constitution of the Fire Lizard, causing them to emit painful hisses and become sluggish.
"Call out!"
On the other side, Xiao Huohuo threw the Heavy Xuan Ruler out of his hand.
The Bone Spirit Cold Flame attached to it also instantly surged outwards.
Xiao Huohuo Fire Lizard, and with his palm covered in Heavenly Flames, directly shattered the heads of the three Fire Lizard.
Xiao Huohuo moved like Gui Mei within the range of the Cold Fire, and with each flash, a Tier 1 Fire Lizard was killed by his palm.
On the other side, the Cold Fire isolated the depression.
Xiao Yan formed pale ice spikes in his palm, and with a flick of his finger, the spikes accurately pierced the vital points of the Fire Lizard.
The chilling aura of the Bone Spirit Cold Flame seeped into the body through the wound, instantly freezing the internal organs.
With the two working in perfect harmony, all fifteen Fire Lizard fell in less than twenty breaths.
"Clean up the battlefield, quick!" Xiao Huohuo urged.
The two quickly extracted the Fire Lizard Heart, and as for the corpse, it was burned by the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, turning directly into dust that blended into the desert.
This batch yielded fifteen Fire Lizard Heart, three of which came from second-tier Fire Lizard and possessed even purer energy.
"Continue." With more than ten Fire Lizard Heart in hand, Xiao Huohuo's face was full of excitement.
After a short rest, they used the Fire Lizard Heart as bait again to lure in a second and third wave...
The first few batches went smoothly.
After all, Fire Lizard are Magical Beast, and although they are numerous, they are not very intelligent. Coupled with the absolute suppression of the two's Bone Spirit Cold Flame, the two harvested them with an almost crushing force.
The Fire Lizard Heart in Xiao Huohuo Storage Ring began to fill up.
But by the fifth batch, the situation began to change.
This time, not only were twenty low-level Fire Lizard attracted, but also a third-level leader. This Tier 3 Fire Lizard was noticeably larger, with dark red scales and a flame-shaped keratinous protrusion on its forehead.
"The third-tier ones have arrived." Xiao Huohuo's eyes narrowed slightly. "It seems these beasts have realized something's wrong after so many low-tier fire lizards died."
Sure enough, compared to the first and second-tier fire lizards from before, this Tier 3 Fire Lizard sensed the trap as soon as it entered the depression.
Instead of charging toward the bait like its lower-ranking counterparts, it raised its head and let out a distinctive hiss.
"Hiss~"
This is an alarm!
"It's calling for its companions!" Xiao Huohuo's expression changed.
"A swift and decisive victory!" Xiao Yan declared immediately.
"I'll control it, you go all out to kill it!"
Xiao Huohuo, Xiao Yan immediately began to act, as Yellow Soul Ring appeared beneath his feet.
"Third Soul Skill, Cold Fire - Netherworld Lock!"
The cold white flames spread outwards, and several pale chains shot out from the void, wrapping around the limbs and neck of the Tier 3 Fire Lizard!
The soul-freezing effect attached to the chains momentarily halted the Fire Lizard's movements.
Now!
Xiao Huohuo immediately made his move, an explosion erupting beneath his feet, his speed increasing even further.
The flames on the Heavy Xuan Ruler turned from deep yellow to blazing white, and the ruler whistled through the air before striking the Fire Lizard's head with a heavy blow!
"Bang--!
Click!
The keratinous protrusion on the forehead of the Tier 3 Fire Lizard burst forth with a dazzling red light, forming a layer of fire shield, but it only lasted for a moment before shattering and disappearing.
The Heavy Xuan Ruler landed on its head, instantly shattering the horny protrusion.
The Heavy Xuan Ruler forcefully smashed the head of the Tier 3 Fire Lizard flat.
"Such a tough defense!" Xiao Huohuo's arm went numb.
Looking at the dead Tier 3 Fire Lizard, Xiao Yan Xiao Yan, realizing that this was only because he had controlled the Fire Lizard beforehand.
Otherwise, if it were to fight it one-on-one, it would definitely be much more difficult for me to kill it.
"Retreat first, the stuff in the valley has come out."
The flames in Xiao Yan's hand condensed into an icy longsword, which he precisely used to pierce the Fire Lizard Heart and Magic Core within the third-tier Fire Lizard before running off into the distance.
In contrast, Xiao Huohuo wasn't in such a hurry as Xiao Yan. He even had the leisure to harvest all the materials from the second-tier fire lizards before planning to leave.
Looking at the swarm of Fire Lizard that had surrounded him, Xiao Huohuo had a wicked smile on his lips.
Goodbye!
As soon as he finished speaking, the Purple Cloud Wings silently unfolded from behind him, and he vanished into the distance.
