Volume 2: Desolate Wilderness Chapter 44: The Fiery Pool's Mysterious Creature
Chu Yi has now brought his strength and speed to the extreme, rushing straight towards the hundred-meter-wide lava pool. In this process, Chu Yi's divine sense clearly captured the hidden existence within the lava pool, and the other party apparently did not intend to evade Chu Yi either.
Above the magma pool, ten scarlet flame dragons floated up again. Chu Yi's face changed drastically, and he clearly knew that he absolutely could not let these ten flame dragons condense.
In his hand, the "Fire God Sword" burst out with a few meters of golden flames. Chu Yi took a fierce step forward, his body suddenly rising several meters high, holding the sword in both hands and slashing down with force, locking onto the hidden existence within the lava pool.
"Whether you're human or ghost, show yourself to me!"
Golden flames burst forth like a sharp blade, tearing open a gap on the surface of the fire pool and heading straight for the culprit.
"Gurgling..."
No gigantic beast as guessed, nor any overbearing strongman appeared. A small pig, no larger than a palm, with a silver-white body, darted out from the bottom of the fire pool, its speed so fast that it seemed to leave an afterimage.
If it weren't for Chu Yi's physique being far superior to that of ordinary people, it would be difficult to even capture the scene of this silver pig escaping from the fire pool.
"Manipulating the fire dragon to attack itself... is a pig..."
At the same time as the silver pig escaped, the ten fire dragons that were floating on the surface of the magma pool all turned into sparks and scattered, making Chu Yi have no choice but to believe this fact.
The astonishment only lasted for a moment, and Chu Yi immediately drew his sword again. Whether it was a pig or whatever, anything that could threaten him would be strangled in the bud, which was the kingly way.
The silver pig was extremely fast, so fast that it wasn't possible for Chu Yu to catch up at this stage, but strangely, this pig with powerful fire control abilities actually approached Chu Yu on its own.
A delicate little nose wrinkled, making a "gululu" sound, a pair of bright black eyes shone with spirit, staring unwaveringly at the Fire God Sword in Chu Yi's hand.
Looking at this momentum, Silver Pig is not afraid of Chu Yi at all, nor is it afraid of the Fire God Sword, but rather treats the Fire God Sword as something good.
Chuyi Ke is not a sentimental person, the Silver Pig may be cute enough to make little girls scream with delight, but no matter what, it has the powerful ability to put Chuyi in a desperate situation, and striking first is the only way to survive.
The Fire God Sword rolled up a golden flame and went straight for the Silver Pig.
The silver pig surprisingly didn't dodge, but instead pounced forward with its four small silver-white hooves, excitedly welcoming the Fire God Sword, and was about to become a roasted suckling pig.
"This is all too easy!"
As Chu Yisheng came up with this idea, an unthinkable scene appeared before his eyes.
Only to see the silver pig's not-so-big mouth suddenly open wide, a "whoosh" sound was heard, and the golden flames that had been ignited on the Fire God Sword were actually sucked clean by it in one gulp.
The strength of the Huǒ Shén Jiàn lies in the "Jì Miè Jīn Yàn" condensed on the sword body, which is ranked 15th among the eighteen categories of strange fires recorded in the annals.
"The Flame Spirit Transformation" is classified as a top-tier divine ability mainly because of the "Silent Annihilation Golden Flames".
At this moment, the "Extinction Golden Flame" that was feared by all unexpectedly got swallowed directly by this silver pig, and it even sniffed its nose as if it wasn't enough.
"Even 'Jiemo Jinyan' can't handle this pig, this fight is pointless."
After witnessing the terrifying speed of Silver Pig that was close to teleportation, Chu Yi no longer had any thoughts of killing it.
At the same time, a thought entered Chu Yi's mind, and it was that silver pig speaking, "This pig hasn't had such a delicious meal in thousands of years. You little brat, bring out some more Silent Golden Flames, and this pig will forgive you for intruding on its lair."
"This pig demon is much smarter than Jīn Gāng whom I just adopted."
This was Chu Yi's subconscious first reaction, he glanced at the faintly glowing Fire God Sword, and couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time, "This Extinction Golden Flame is a product born from his own consumption of a huge amount of spiritual yuan energy, how could it be easily obtained..."
"Was it you who just controlled the fire dragon to attack me?" Chu Yi's thoughts were transmitted, and he was still skeptical that a pig could have such an astonishing ability to control fire.
"This pig has the purest ancient divine beast bloodline, a few fire dragons are nothing, can be bullied as I please." Accompanied by a hint of disdain in his eyes, the silver pig's nose slightly raised, and he snorted.
Even after searching through his mind, Chu Yi still couldn't recall any ancient beast similar to the Silver Pig from the annals of history.
"You want to extinguish the Golden Flame, no problem, but it must be an equivalent exchange." Chu Yi revealed a sly merchant's face and said with a subtle movement of his divine sense.
The silver pig scrunched up its little nose, seemingly thinking about something. After a moment, it responded: "Apart from the Xuan Suo Huo Yan, you can ask for anything else, and I'll consider it. This pig has always been very generous, but don't mention any unreasonable requests to this pig. This pig is extremely ferocious, and provoking its anger will have severe consequences."
Chu Yinan was speechless, this damn thing is still a pig, and its IQ is too high!
In communicating with the Silver Pig God, Chu Yi obtained a lot of information and immediately analyzed it. This was a habit he had developed on Earth, after all, his sideline was tomb raiding, which was such a dangerous thing that if you didn't consider all aspects carefully, even nine lives wouldn't be enough to die from.
This silver pig that looks cute and harmless is absolutely much stronger than King Kong, and may even be a spiritual beast.
Secondly, the Silver Pig considers this place as its lair and knows about "Xuan Suo Huo Yan". Combining these two points, it is highly likely that Xuan Suo Huo Yan has been considered a treasure by the Silver Pig, or even swallowed by it. After all, it views the extinction of Golden Flame as a delicious feast, so how could it let go of this rare fire-attribute spirit?
The silver pig can understand human language and has a mature tone, obviously having had contact with humans in the past. It's even possible that its tone was cultivated from long-term exposure to someone's speech.
After analyzing it, Chu Yi gradually had an idea in his heart, and the sense of loss that "Xuan Pin Huo Yan" might have been eaten by the silver pig also faded a lot.
"To know that 'Jiemi Jinyan' requires me to sacrifice my divine power, consuming a large amount of yuan force, in order to evolve... "
Chu Yi's hesitant and indecisive expression made the Silver Pig look somewhat impatient, and it transmitted a message: "So what? As long as you don't want the Xuanming Fire Eye, everything is easy to say. The Wan Zai Red Lotus, the Gathering Fire Spirit Pearl, the Earth Fire Stone Milk, and the Da Yan Furnace Iron - this pig has collected quite a few of them."
The things that Yin Zhu reported were extremely rare fire-attribute spiritual objects, any one of which would sell for tens of millions of spirit stones if taken out to be sold, but it was clear that Chu Yizhi was not after these.
"So, if you want to always have 'Jiémì Jīnyàn' to eat, the only way is to follow me."
Chu Yi put on a nonchalant expression, shrugged his shoulders and said, but his eyes were full of the implication of the big grey wolf deceiving Little Red Riding Hood.
