The frisky monkey had a confused look, opening his mouth and stamring, “Baba, hot...”
Well, it was indeed terrifyingly warm. Even the frisky monkey felt the heat was a little too much to handle.
They were still dozens of kiloters from the light of the scarlet flas. Wouldn’t they lt if they went there?
Zhang Che was hesitant on whether to continue going forward.
-The flas ahead are burning very strangely. I better go take a look. If it’s too hot, I’ll just change to another direction...- Zhang Che thought for a short while. He recalled the frisky monkey into his spiritual sea, then urged the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon to continue flying.
As Zhang Che had expected, as they drew closer to the fiery region ahead, the heat waves quickly shot up in temperature.
When the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon was within re kiloters from the flaming mountain, both Zhang Che and the dragon felt the heat was becoming unbearable, and had no choice but to halt their advance.
The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon had been emitting wisps of cold aura from his body to combat the high temperature, making things much easier for Zhang Che. He wouldn’t have been able to make it this far otherwise.
The spread of scarlet flas connected the heavens and earth, like it was burning from underground. It spanned dozens of kiloter, the ends of the fire nowhere to be seen.
“Sothing is off with this fire...” Zhang Che furrowed his brow, feeling the scarlet flas ahead were very unusual.
From what he could see, the ground under the fire was burnt to golden yellow. Nothing could possibly support such a huge fire.
After thinking for a mont, Zhang Che summoned out the Scarlet Fla Drake. {TLN: Seems like author forgot about the drake’s fire resistance halo.}
“Go scout out the situation ahead. Co back imdiately if there’s danger.”
The Scarlet Fla Drake was a fire-attributed subdued beast with the ability to wield innate fire elents. Naturally it wasn’t afraid of the flas ahead.
Zhang Che was worried there might be a powerful exotic beast in the fire. As such, he instructed the Scarlet Fla Drake to be as cautious as it could, and to run back to him once it ca across any danger.
As the Scarlet Fla Drake appeared, it felt the concentrated fire elents present in the space, leaving it feeling incredibly comfortable. After receiving Zhang Che’s orders, it shook its golden crest and dashed off.
Zhang Che sat silently on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s back, watching closely as the Scarlet Fla Drake ran forward, feeling sowhat nervous.
Although the Scarlet Fla Drake was sufficiently powerful, the flaming mountain ahead was too strange. Heavens knew if there were any epic-quality or higher exotic beasts in there...
If there was really an exotic beast inside the flas too powerful for the Scarlet Fla Drake to handle, it would beco very difficult for that fellow to run back to Zhang Che.
Although it was no big deal for him to lose a legend-quality subdued beast or two given his current strength, as he could make it up in the future, he was soone who cherished the old tis. Naturally he wasn’t willing to lose the Scarlet Fla Drake, who had been with him for months.
However, Zhang Che’s instincts were telling him that there might be great benefits in those flaming mountains ahead. He really wasn’t willing to pass it up without letting the Scarlet Fla Drake scout things out.
——
Although the Scarlet Fla Drake was scouting cautiously, it wasn’t moving slowly. About three minutes later, its scarlet-golden silhouette had found its way into the flas.
Zhang Che’s view blurred, losing sight of the Scarlet Fla Drake.
He knitted his brow slightly. In the next mont, he suddenly heard the Scarlet Fla Drake barking from inside the flas, its voice carrying a hint of wariness.
“So there really are exotic beasts inside!” Zhang Che’s heart tightened.
Fortunately, there wasn’t any fear in the Scarlet Fla Drake’s cry.
The exotic beast it had encountered shouldn’t be very powerful. There shouldn’t be any problems for now.

Inside the flas that seed to burn space itself, the Scarlet Fla Drake was looking intently a short distance ahead at a weird creature with a humanoid figure, but a body made of flas.
Although it was a little apprehensive of the peculiar lifeform, the Scarlet Fla Drake’s eyes carried a hint of concealed excitent.
It was able to sense a pure fiery aura from that humanoid fire creature’s body!
The Scarlet Fla Drake knew instinctively that it would grow much stronger if it devoured the supernatural lifeform. The fire elents in its body would beco much purer!
That humanoid fiery creature also discovered the Scarlet Fla Drake imdiately after it barged in. It raised its head and let out a silent roar, breathing out a mouthful of scarlet fiery light and charged directly at the Scarlet Fla Drake.
Just as it took its first steps, a whip of flas suddenly appeared in the fiery creature’s arms. It lashed the whip at the Scarlet Fla Drake with a sharp crack.
A trace of fear dashed through the Scarlet Fla Drake’s eyes. It jumped nimbly, dodging the whip. It quickly charged afterwards, directly bulldozing its way into the fiery creature’s chest.
Even so, the humanoid fiery creature wasn’t afraid at all. The fiery long whip in its hands was like a nimble snake, twisting around in the air and continuing to lash at the Scarlet Fla Drake.
The Scarlet Fla Drake suddenly smiled craftily. It ignored the long whip about to hit its body. Instead, it further increased its speed and swiped its claw at the humanoid fiery creature’s throat.
With a loud smack, the long whip accurately struck the Scarlet Fla Drake.
A terrifyingly hot blaze erupted where the whip struck, but it didn’t hurt the Scarlet Fla Drake at all.
The Scarlet Fla Drake was a master of fire. How could it possibly be vulnerable to an attack of this degree? It was only trying to fool the creature earlier to get an opportunity to close in on it.
Seeing its attack had failed to accomplish anything, the humanoid fiery creature was stunned for a mont, not understanding why this invader wasn’t afraid of its whip attack. However, the Scarlet Fla Drake didn’t give it any ti to think.
With a loud tearing noise, the Scarlet Fla Drake’s sharp claws swiped across the humanoid fiery creature’s throat. Sparks flew everywhere, and tongues of flowing flas that seed to be its blood shot out from the wound.
After successfully landing an attack, the Scarlet Fla Drake didn’t give its opponent any ti to catch its breath. It continued tearing with its sharp claws, directly dismbering the creature.
The creature was obviously a fantastical lifeform. It didn’t have any flesh and blood. Even though it was dismbered by the Scarlet Fla Drake, only flas scattered around.
In the end, the fiery creature disappeared without a trace, leaving only a fist-sized object that resembled a fruit seed on the burnt golden ground.
The fruit seed-like object was fully scarlet in color, with complicated and mysterious deep scarlet patterns faintly visible on it. Heat was spreading from it, as if it was ford from molten iron.
This object was most likely the core of that humanoid fiery creature. It was indeed a greatly beneficial tonic for the Scarlet Fla Drake. It swallowed the core without any hesitation, a satisfied look on its face.
—
Shortly after the humanoid fiery creature was killed by the Scarlet Fla Drake, several low roars were suddenly heard from deep inside the flas. Afterwards, several identical fiery creatures appeared, running towards the Scarlet Fla Drake, each of them wielding weapons made of flas.
Even so, there wasn’t a hint of fear in the Scarlet Fla Drake’s eyes.
It had just gotten a feel for these fiery creatures’ strength. There was no way they could be a threat to the Scarlet Fla Drake. Instead, they were only walking tonics for it!
It went without saying that the Scarlet Fla Drake was hoping for as much of this good stuff to appear as possible!
