From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword Chapter 173 146: Powerful Flame Creature

The area with the rising temperature up ahead is a Gobi in the Liu River region, which has sparse vegetation and features exposed sandstone everywhere.

This Gobi is not very large, with a diater of less than two kiloters, and there is a sandstone hill in the center.

Lu Heng and his group were preparing to enter the central area of the Gobi.

Suddenly, Su Muyu stretched out her hand, pointing ahead, and said urgently, "A signal flare! There's a signal flare over there."

Due to the fog, the visibility during the day is less than ten ters, while the thickness of the fog can reach three hundred ters.

Therefore, Superpower Users without the Perception Skill cannot see the signal flare in the fog.

Looking up at the sky, one can't even see branches ten ters high.

Therefore, only Perceivers can see the signal flare.

Su Muyu had her scouting eagle flying outside the fog to scout, so she was the first to notice the signal flare.

In this Mist Valley, apart from Jian Qing's team, there could be no other Superpower Users.

Therefore, the appearance of the signal flare must be a distress signal sent by the small team led by Jian Qing.

According to the initial agreent, the number of signal flares launched represented the level of danger.

"Let's go! How many signal flares did they send?" Lu Heng imdiately led the team toward the direction of the signal flare.

"Only one, I only saw one."

While responding, Su Muyu controlled the scouting eagle to fly ahead first to scout the situation.

Since the location of the signal flare was not far, it only took the scouting eagle a few seconds to get there using the Acceleration Skill.

After seeing the situation clearly, Su Muyu reported the situation while following the team to provide assistance,

"Jian Qing's team encountered a very large Fla Demon. This creature is ten ters tall, its body emitting flas, and when it spews flas, they explode, scattering sparks everywhere."

Hearing the description, the possibility Lu Heng had in mind montarily had accelerated. He rushed to the front of Sandstone Hill and saw Jian Qing's team fighting a Fla Demon, retreating as they fought.

The Fla Demon was exactly as Su Muyu described. It stood ten ters tall, its body ablaze with intense flas, and the fireballs it hurled exploded upon hitting the ground, bursting into countless fragnts of fire.

There were already mbers of Jian Qing's team burnt by the flas, and the team was protecting their wounded while retreating.

From its size and the intensity of its flas, this Fla Demon was over Level 28.

Such a high-level Fla Demon, with a flaming body temperature of several thousand degrees, made it impossible for organic lifeforms to approach within three ters of it.

Staying within three ters of it for three seconds would result in severe thermal burns.

Moreover, the fireballs launched by the Fla Demon were as powerful as High Explosive Burning Bombs; even a slight touch from the burst flas would result in severe burns.

Encountering such a formidable Abyss Demon in the sixth month of Abyss Descent could easily lead to a team wipeout.

Jian Qing was continuously manipulating strong winds to fend off the attacks of fireballs.

Each fireball expelled by the Fla Demon was twisted away by the tornado, which was why the team had not been struck directly by the fireballs.

Otherwise, a direct hit from a fireball would kill at least half of the people.

Lu Heng rushed forward and unleashed the "Thunderous Heavenly Prison" to trap the Fla Demon.

However, the Fla Demon had a Fire attribute, which gave it high resistance to Thunder, so the thunder strikes couldn't inflict effective damage but only managed to confine it temporarily.

Chen Zihang, Wu Weibing, and others imdiately stepped forward to help Jian Qing's team retreat with their wounded.

With the support, the pressure on Jian Qing was greatly reduced.

"What's the situation?" Lu Heng quickly inquired.

"We ran into it while scouting ahead near the Sandstone Hill. Soone got hurt right at the first encounter. Our vehicle was also destroyed by a fireball, forcing us to send a signal flare for help," Jian Qing quickly summarized the events.

"Is there a crack point inside Sandstone Hill?" Lu Heng inquired urgently.

"We don't know yet; we didn't get a chance to scout before being attacked by this thing," Jian Qing replied while considering her strategy.

Her team already had wounded mbers, so the most rational decision now was to imdiately retreat from the Gobi and treat the wounded.

What actions to take afterward could be reconsidered.

"Let's retreat first. After resting, we can deal with this creature," Jian Qing suggested this course of action.

"Since you've been here, have you only encountered this Fla Demon?" Lu Heng urgently asked.

"Yes, we haven't spotted any other Abyss Creatures," Jian Qing nodded.

"Then we need to deal with this thing quickly and then destroy the crack point, otherwise more Abyss Creatures will gather here."

Abyss Creatures were not unintelligent beasts; once humans attempted to destroy a crack point, the Abyss Creatures in the fog would imdiately converge to protect the crack point.

On their way here, they had encountered several types of Abyss Creatures.

Not to ntion others, if a few more Abyssal Aliens appeared along with this Fla Demon, the two teams combined wouldn't be able to withstand them, let alone considering that Jian Qing's team already had injured mbers.

Without this information, the best strategy indeed would have been to retreat from the Gobi and plan carefully after regrouping.

However, the longer they delayed, the more Abyss Creatures would gather.

Thus, to solve the situation with the Fla Demon, they had to act now; any later would be too late.

Jian Qing, after hearing Lu Heng's explanation, pondered for a mont and chose to trust him.

She turned back to see that the wounded from her team had already withdrawn to a safe distance and then asked, "So, what do you plan to do?"

While the two were discussing, the Fla Demon had already broken free from the Thunder Cage and launched an attack toward Lu Heng, who was closest.

Due to the Fla Demon's body burning with fierce flas, the fog evaporated around it.

Thus, the fog was much thinner around the Fla Demon, and visibility could reach over twenty ters.

Seeing the fireball hurled by the Fla Demon, Lu Heng imdiately dodged to the left while swiftly strategizing.
