Chapter 1613: Chapter 371: Battling the Giant Beast, Acquiring the Fire Essence (Part 3)

”Yes, yes, he’s such a man. When we first met, I thought he was useless, but now, it’s truly damnable.”

”Damnable, damnable indeed...”

The robust men of the Giant Wood Flag each fully displayed their traits: strong in limbs, simple in mind, but filled with emotions. At this moment, they were moved to tears by Chen Jiusi’s heroic actions.

With snot and tears.

Han Ling’er forced herself to stay strong and said, ”Alright, Caidie is right. Zhao Fu sacrificed himself to save us; we must not let his death be in vain. We have to turn our grief into strength. Only by finding the Qiankun Great Method and helping Ming King to glorify the Holy Sect can we honor Zhao Fu’s spirit.”

Han Ling’er had leadership skills, and she took the opportunity to link Chen Jie’s matters with helping the Ming King to find the Qiankun Great Method.

As expected, the robust men regained their spirit.

The Commander of the guard said, ”Yes, brothers, the Saintess is right. We cannot let brother Zhao Fu die in vain. Brothers, pave the way. We must find the Qiankun Great Method and bring it back to honor Zhao Fu’s spirit. Let’s go!”

With that, the Commander of the guard led the group to explore other areas within the Ruins.

Watching the Commander act as if he was on stimulants, Liu Caidie said, ”Ling’er, wasn’t I saying Zhao Fu might not be dead? How are you all turning grief into strength?”

Upon hearing this, Han Ling’er lightly flicked away a tear and said, ”Caidie, I know it’s hard for you to accept this reality, but the dead cannot be revived. Please restrain your grief.”

Liu Caidie just wanted to argue a bit, but Han Ling’er had already followed the Commander and the others ahead. Watching them act as if inspired, turning grief into strength, Liu Caidie listened to the intense sounds of battle from the Molten Lava Cave. After a while, sighed, ”Chen Jiusi, I hope you’re alright.”

With that, she also followed the main group to leave.

In the Molten Lava Hell, Chen Jiusi wiped the sweat dripping down his temples, exhausted and panting.

The Fire Essence Beast behind him was also beyond fatigued; these two-legged scorpions were incredibly hard to chase. The Fire Essence Beast was so tired that it wanted to give up and prepare to leave.

But just then, Chen Jiusi suddenly turned, lifted his long spear, and stabbed the Fire Essence Beast in the butt without hesitation.

Oww...

The Fire Essence Beast cried out in pain and angrily turned again to charge at Chen Jiusi, biting towards him.

Chen Jie saw this, the corner of his mouth slightly raised with a playful smile on his face.

He started circling the Fire Essence Beast again; after another round, the beast lost its temper completely and prepared to leave, not willing to indulge the damn two-legged scorpions anymore.

A note on why it’s called a two-legged scorpion: in this environment, it only recognizes scorpions.

The Fire Essence Beast wiggled its body, ready to hide in the lava for sleep, but Chen Jie wouldn’t let it have any peace. This time, Chen Jie rushed at it again, shooting another spear at the Fire Essence Beast’s butt.

Oww...

The Fire Essence Beast was completely enraged by the stabbing and chased Chen Jie for another half lap.

This time it was utterly exhausted, and its movements had slowed considerably.

Chen Jie was also somewhat fatigued. He turned his head to glance at the Fire Essence Beast, then his eyes lit up as he saw the beast was about to collapse, resting where it stood.

Seeing this, Chen Jie’s eyes brightened, and the moment he saw the beast turn to leave, Chen Jie attacked again, and his long spear struck the beast’s hindquarters directly.

The Fire Essence Beast howled in painful agony, and seeing this, Chen Jie felt a bit cruel; now the beast’s butt was riddled with holes.

Once more, with another attack inflicted, the beast had had enough, it decided to ignore anything further and just dove into the lava, never intending to come out.

It really hated Chen Jiusi but was utterly helpless.

Just like an African buffalo facing a pack of hyenas—relentlessly gnawed at the rear end, catching you off guard with a surprise hit, incredibly challenging to deal with.

Now the Fire Essence Beast could well comprehend this African buffalo’s feelings, truly irritating.

If you ignore him, he pokes at you.

If you chase him, he runs away so swiftly you can’t catch up, truly frustrating.

At this time, the Fire Essence Beast turned back to attack Chen Jie, initially expecting a routine expulsion, then it planned to ignore him, submerging into the lava to rest, not wanting further entanglement with this two-legged beast.

Casually turning back, it lazily aimed a bite at Chen Jie, following its usual procedure, at which point Chen Jie should step aside, thus concluding the matter.

Yet there’s no such nice turn of events in this world, merely as it casually bit down.

Suddenly, the sound of soaring dragon roars echoed through the air.

Oww oww oww...

Hmm?

The Fire Essence Beast was instantly dumbfounded, what was happening? At this moment, Chen Jiusi struck decisively: ”Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms!”

Indeed, Chen Jie was waiting for this moment.

[Flying Dragon in the Sky!]

Chen Jie suddenly performed the Flying Dragon in the Sky move, utilizing the Cross Training Kung Fu to drive the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms, and the sound of dragon roars echoed in the air, as the mighty cross-training force stirred the lava around his feet.

At this moment, Chen Jie suddenly soared into the air, unleashing the power of the Half-step Dragon Realm.
