Chapter 102: Hao Tian's Request

  Today is the third watch...

  Two black and white misty auras, under Zhang Chong's skilled control, were like two spiritual snakes, swiftly blocking the two incoming fireballs. Then, rapidly spinning, they dissipated the incoming force, even causing the two fireballs to change direction and heavily smash back.

  The scarlet flame dragon's momentum was insufficient, and its ferocious pounce was met with the fireball, which struck it head-on. Instantly, flames engulfed everything, and a deafening crash shook the heavens.

  Taking advantage of this momentum, the other nine people also quickly jumped into the water, each activating their spiritual power and magic, forming a very faint glow around them as they dived underwater.

  Zhang Chong's sharp counterattack not only enraged the Crimson Flame Dragon, but also caught the attention of several Beastmasters in mid-air. Their previously relaxed nerves were once again tense. Suddenly, a whistle pierced the air as two more Beastmasters and another Crimson Flame Dragon charged over.

  Seeing the momentum of the two Inferno Dragons, Zhang Chong's confidence was boosted again, but he didn't dare say that he could escape under their pincer attack. At this time, he took advantage of the night and rushed forward frantically.

  The eyes of the Red Flame Dragon were still very useful in the dark night, and the fireballs kept whizzing by, beckoning towards Zhang Chong's body.

  "Faster, faster!!!" Zhang Chong's figure accelerated to an extremely fast speed at this moment. His direction was towards the distant mountain range over a hundred miles away. If he could rush there and take cover behind the terrain, he would be able to evade the pursuit of the scarlet flame dragon.

  But the Red Flame Dragon was much faster than he had imagined, and before long, they were already chasing after Zhang Chong's back. A pair of giant claws stretched out towards Zhang Chong's back, scratching with force.

  Just at this moment, Zhang Chong's heavy rod swung back and forth, two black and white misty auras transformed into two spiritual snakes, one on the left and one on the right, quickly wrapping around the location of the Blazing Fire Dragon.

  This time, the Scarlet Flame Dragon was well-prepared. With a long whistle, its wings spread extremely wide, and its body suddenly accelerated, ignoring the two binding attacks as it launched a powerful counterattack towards Zhang.

  But just as the two wisps of fog were about to wrap around the scarlet flame dragon, it suddenly felt a slight difference. Looking left and right, it saw that on top of the mist emitted by the Heart-Devouring Cudgel, there were actually two dark green fruits. Their color was extremely dark, and under the cover of night, they were not easy to distinguish.

  "What is this fruit?" The giant eyeballs of the Scarlet Flame Dragon emitted a puzzled gaze, but this puzzlement did not last long. In an instant, a fierce explosion sound came.

  Listening to the sound of the explosion, Zhang felt extremely pleased and thought to himself,

  "Haha, you actually dare to chase after me, now you're in trouble." These two dark green fruits were the Mantra Fruits that Zhang Chong had obtained in the ancient city of Shishacheng. The Mantra Tree had gone through many years, and although it was said that the Mantra Fruit would only reach its maximum power after sixty years, turning dark green in color, by the time Zhang Chong got them, he had so many of these dark green fruits that he couldn't even count them all.

  With this, Zhang Chong was also unreserved and saw that the sneak attack was successful. He quickly threw out three more Mantra Fruits, which once again accurately hit the miserable and screaming Inferno Dragon.

  In the dark of night, the originally mighty Scarlet Flame Dragon was directly blown into a half-burnt dragon by Zhang Chong. After letting out a series of frantic roars in mid-air, it fell head-first towards the ground. Behind it, a Beastmaster's eyes were wide with rage. He and the Scarlet Flame Dragon shared a deep understanding, a tacit agreement that had taken five years to cultivate, allowing them to sense each other's thoughts at will. Zhang Chong's killing blow this time could be said to have severed half of his life force.

  "Be careful, young master. The opponent's background is unknown and their moves are ruthless. We can't chase after them again." Just then, the person beside him pulled him back with a gentle voice. It has to be said that Zhang Chong's attack this time was not only stealthy but also extremely powerful.

  With ease, he shook off the pursuers behind him, and Zhang Chong's heart was also lifted. After circling around a big circle, he confirmed that no one was following him, and then flew towards the direction of Heifeng Mountain.

  "Unbelievable, the power of this Mantra Fruit is so strong." Zhang Chong said to himself, already thinking about how to better utilize this Mantra Fruit. This Mantra Fruit, he had only used it once in the ancient city of Shishen, against those few masked men, but that time it was completely useless and left him disheartened. But this time, it actually directly killed a Crimson Flame Dragon, how could he not feel extremely pleased?

  He soon returned to the Black Wind Mountain, where the other nine had already arrived at the stronghold and were anxiously waiting for his return. When they saw him safe and sound, they were all overjoyed, and when Zhang Chong brought out the treasure he had plundered from Qingling Lake, everyone was even more excited and cheered loudly.

  Kang Ziyuan, however, smiled lightly at Zhang Chong from beside him.

  "Zhang brother has a precious treasure, this storage ring, I'm afraid it's worth more than all my possessions." His words made Zhang startled, thinking that Kang Ziyuan had discovered his Xunji ring. He just smiled and didn't respond.

  He didn't know that what Kang Ziyuan said was just the price of an ordinary storage ring.

  At this time, Haotian pulled Zhang Chong over to his side and said to him,

  "Zhang Chong brothers, I'd like to discuss something with you, what's your take on it?"

  "Hao Tian brothers, just say it directly, as long as it can be done, I absolutely have no problem." Zhang Chong replied extremely readily.

  At this time, Hao Tian expressed his idea. In fact, he had discussed this idea with Kang Qiyuan for a long time before.

  "Under the current situation, the number of demonic beasts is increasing rapidly. It's estimated that within two to three years, the beast tide will arrive as scheduled. By then, ordinary civilians will have no chance of survival. Even for us scattered cultivators, after the demon tribe destroys the interface rivers and transmission arrays under their control, there will be no possibility of going to other interfaces."

  Now there are only two roads left, one is the mountain range of the demon beast, and from the demon beast mountain range to other interfaces, although it can be done, but now the demon beast is rampant, this road goes, no different from a dead end. Apart from this, there is only another road, which is going to the boundless sea area.

  The vast ocean, its area is much larger than the You Shou mountain range, not to mention the areas of other realms. However, the alien beasts in the sea are also numerous, and without strong power and equipment, going to this ocean will inevitably lead to a desperate situation. But if one has a powerful symbol ship, traveling along this route to other realms or even finding an island to settle down is extremely feasible.

  "On the boundless ocean, it can be said to be fraught with danger, but also a paradise on earth."

  "Your meaning is that you want to leave the Yang realm through this exit, the boundless sea?" Zhang Chong had already guessed his idea after hearing Hao Tian's words.

  "Hao Tian brothers, although they are rustic people, have ambitions that reach the clouds. This point, even I admire them for." At this time, Kang Qiyuan spoke up.

  "He's not just thinking of you and me, but also all the brothers together, going to this boundless sea area. He's also thinking that he can take these unarmed civilians around us with him when he leaves. Unfortunately, our financial resources are really insignificant, and in the Yang world, all the large symbol ships have been bought by the demon clan, so we can only use the existing materials to refine the symbol ship. To be honest with Brother Zhang, all my money has been converted into materials for refining symbol ships by Brother Haotian. However, these materials are still far from enough according to Haotian's idea."

  After hearing Kang Ziyuan say this, Zhang Chong also understood. He then asked:

  "So that's it! The discussion that Haotian brothers just mentioned is actually wanting all the treasures of Qingling Lake, right?"

  "It is indeed." Hao Tian said with a proud expression, "We cultivators, having achieved some success, should exert our efforts in this chaotic world. Otherwise, how can we bear the name of cultivators?"

  "Well said," Zhang Chong was the first to applaud, saying to Hao Tian, "Jing Shi is a good thing, but it's ultimately meant to be used in a useful place. I highly agree with Hao Tian's idea. Not only that, apart from these treasures taken from Qing Ling Lake, I also have some other magical tools and materials, why not take them all together for you to use?"
