Chapter 745 - Red Glow Fire Crystal

It was late in the evening, and the setting sun was as red as blood.

In the midst of the lush forest concealed twenty figures, which were Tang Huan, Li Tian’en, Hu Kai and the rest.

It took them five whole days to get here.

”The ’Wind-bell Flamingo’ should be moving soon.”

Li Tian’en instructed softly as he stared at the huge pit in front of him that was a thousand meters away. The hole was bright red and extremely deep. It seemed to be filled with heat as it continued to rise. The area within ten meters of the hole was completely barren.

”Ding Ding!” ”Ding ding...” Not long after that, a loud sound came out from the hole. It sounded like a jade plate that had fallen from the sky.

”He’s here!”

Everyone’s spirits were lifted as they held their breath.

Moments later, a red figure flew out from the hole. It was a huge, fiery-red bird with a slender neck and a large, sturdy body. There was not a single trace of other colors on its body. On top of its head was a fist-sized, round crown of flesh, inside which were the blood droplets that were to be collected during the mission.

After capturing ”Wind-bell Flamingo” alive, you can cut open the crown of flesh and obtain the drop of blood. After the wound healed, in another five or six years, new blood droplets would appear.

Not long later, several hundred ”Wind-bell Flamingo” appeared high in the sky.

”Ding ding ~ ~”

With a clear bird cry, three fiery red figures suddenly dove down from the summit where Tang Huan and the rest were.

At this moment, there were several pebbles scattered across the empty space between the trees. Each of them was a captivating red like fire and as big as a fist.

Inside the stone, there seemed to be clouds floating about and a scorching aura was constantly seeping out.

They were ”Red Glow Fire Crystal”, a type of crystal grown in an extremely hot place. They had a fatal attraction to ”Wind-bell Flamingo”.

Every time they executed a mission like this, they would need to prepare dozens of ”Red Glow Fire Crystal”, and in the end, there were less than ten left.

”Hu!”

The three ”Wind-bell Flamingo s” were extremely fast, and in an instant, they were only a hundred meters away from the peak.

Everyone was focused and did not dare to make the slightest sound. They had to take action the moment the ”Red Glow Fire Crystal” was swallowed by the ”Wind-bell Flamingo”. If eaten, the ”Red Glow Fire Crystal” would quickly melt. Even if he killed the Flamingoes, it would be impossible to take it out.

But just when everyone was waiting for the ”Wind-bell Flamingo” to tear open the branches above the ”Red Glow Fire Crystal” and throw themselves into the forest, the three fiery red figures suddenly changed their direction and shot into the sky, leaving behind a string of extremely clear cries, causing everyone to stare at each other in the forest.

Li Tian’en did not say anything, but signaled everyone to stay calm, and then continued to lurk around.

”Ding Ding!” ”Ding ding...”

After the time of about ten breaths, the clear and melodious shout came closer, there were also fiery red figures approaching, and one of them was actually ten ’Wind-bell Flamingo’.

However, the scene from before replayed itself very quickly.

Those ”Wind-bell Flamingo” also flew past the peak of the mountain at a high speed, about a hundred meters away from it, and soon after, reached a thousand meters in the air.

It would have been fine if it was only one or two times, but not long after, this kind of scene occurred more than a dozen times. The descending ”Wind-bell Flamingo”, or two, or even dozens of them, were actually able to resist the enticement of ”Red Glow Fire Crystal”.

Luo Xingkong, Tong Ge and the other old members were still able to maintain their composure, while some of the new members of Team 50 were unable to keep their cool.

And after this kind of situation had occurred dozens of times in a row, even Li Tian’en and Hu Kai began to worry.

Tang Huan and Chen You couldn’t help but look at each other. On the way here, they had heard Li Tian’en and the others repeatedly say that the ”Wind-bell Flamingo” was extremely intelligent and vigilant.

”Ding ding …”

At least a hundred ”Wind-bell Flamingo” came rushing down, as they flapped their huge wings. As the strong wind blew past, the sky was filled with fallen leaves, and all the trees on the mountain were falling in the same direction. The ”Red Glow Fire Crystal” on the ground was also blown away.

”Aiya!”

One of the members at the peak of Heavenly Domain could not help but exclaim softly when he saw this. Subconsciously, he rushed out from his hiding spot, soared into the air, and grabbed those ”Red Glow Fire Crystal” one by one. Almost at the same time, the hundred over ”Wind-bell Flamingo” drew an arc in the air as they rapidly climbed.

The moment the member fell to the ground, he seemed to have realized something and stood there, stunned.

”I’ve been exposed!”

Hu Kai punched the ground and jumped up gloomily. Li Tian’en and the rest also came out from their hiding spots. It was also at this moment that almost all the ”Wind-bell Flamingo” flew over. They were happily playing and crying in the air with deafening sounds at a thousand meters high in the sky.

Everyone’s faces darkened. They were actually mocked by the group of vicious beasts.

”Yes. ”I’m sorry...” The team member drooped his head, feeling incomparably guilty.

”No need to blame yourself, you can’t be blamed for this.”

Li Tian’en smiled bitterly and waved his hand, consoling them, ”Even if you didn’t intervene, I would have done so later. If not, these ’Red Glow Fire Crystal’ would have been eaten for nothing by the ’Wind-bell Flamingo’ very soon, I never thought that these fellows would be so vigilant and smart.”

Even though he said that, there was a trace of regret in his eyes.

Hearing that, Tang Huan could not help but say: ”Captain, they should have already discovered that there is a trap down there.”

”Oh?”

Li Tian’en was startled.

Tang Huan muttered to himself, ”When Ban Lei appeared to collect the ’Red Glow Fire Crystal’, the group of ’Wind-bell Flamingo’ above did not panic at all. It is likely that they already knew that someone was hiding here.”

”After hearing what you said, it’s true.”

Li Tian’en frowned, ”About ten years ago, a small team once came to this place to collect Flamingo Blood Beads. It seems that they still remember it.”

Lifting his head to look at the ”Wind-bell Flamingo” that was circling in the sky, Li Tian’en said somewhat helplessly, ”Everyone, we need to change locations.”

”You want to go to Dragon’s Valley?” Hu Kai hesitated.

”We can only go there.” Li Tian’en sighed, ”The ’Wind-bell Flamingo’ in other places have all had their blood collected, so I am afraid it will be difficult for us to obtain them again. Even if we are able to succeed a few times, without a year of time, it would be very difficult to complete this mission. ”

Everyone was helpless.

There were only two locations where blood droplets had not been collected. The first place was the ”Wolong Valley” that Li Tian’en and Hu Kai had spoken of, and it would take at least twenty days to reach the ”Wolong Valley” from there. There was another place where even a month of travel might not be enough. The most important thing was that these two Flamingoes nests were deeper inside the Firing Dragon Mountain Range, and were both extremely dangerous.

”Captain, we’re not at that stage yet.”

Tang Huan’s eyes flickered, then suddenly said, ”I do have a method that might be able to help us gather enough Flamingo Blood Beads here.”
