Chapter 118: Repaying Kindness with Evil, the Fire Witch's Pursuit

 "Guessed it?" Zhang Chenran asked him with a smile.

  After getting the answer, Zhang Xiaohou nodded:

  "Although I had some guesses before, it still feels a little incredible now. I thought it was outrageous that Brother Fan was born with two elements."

  "There are all kinds of things in the world, but it is not uncommon for the same talent to appear in the same place. But if you think that my power comes from being born with two elements, you are wrong." Zhang Chenran said. Zhang Xiaohou

  seemed to understand and continued to ask:

  "Brother Chen, what is your third element?"

  "You will know later."

  "."

  "What are you two whispering about?"

  Zhao Manyan asked unhappily. Is there anything that can't be said in person?

  Zhang Chenran did not answer him, but looked up and said:

  "We are here."

  Everyone arrived at Pingling Mountain, and the Fire Cloud Forest was in front of them.

  The figures of six people and a wolf appeared on the cliff, and in front of them was a dense forest with extremely high temperature.

  "The Fire Tribulation Fruit is deep in the Fire Cloud Forest. I don't have a specific route, but what I can be sure of is that the Fire Tribulation Fruit grows in the place with the highest temperature in the forest." Chen Ying said.

  "So we have to survey the element density around us first before we can determine the direction to move forward?" Zhang Xiaohou said.

  "This is the only way. This forest is so big. It will take at least ten days for us to find it."

  Zhang Chenran, Zhang Xiaohou, Zhao Manyan, and Chen Ying spread out a few hundred meters to conduct element surveys. There are

  many demons lurking in the dark in the Fire Cloud Forest. What they like most is to wait for those humans who come here to search for treasures to fall into their trap.

  Sure enough, a group of stupid guys not only came to the Fire Cloud Forest, but also opened four GPS locators to them.

  The demons in the forest were ready to move, and they moved towards the signal sent by the surveyor.

  But they didn't know that in the dark of the forest, there were already death-like executioners guarding their way, waiting for the hunt.

  The survey was soon over, and everyone had a general direction to move forward.

  "The creatures in the Fire Cloud Forest are no weaker than those living in the Burning Plain. They have not been baptized by the fire disaster. Logically, they should not be so safe." Chen Ying was a little surprised.

  Everyone has been surveying and guarding the surveying instrument for so long, but no demon has come to them. Even if it is only the periphery of the forest, it should not be like this.

  The survey was unexpectedly safe, so safe that it made people worry.

  "Could it be that the demons in the Fire Cloud Forest have also encountered some accidents, so that they dare not come out?" Zhao Manyan guessed.

  "It's not a bad thing for us. Let's keep moving forward."

  ... ...

  Everyone continued to move towards the place with the most concentrated fire element.

  It was smooth along the way. In total, they only encountered dozens of lone demons, which were easily eliminated.

  The deeper they went, the more fire there was, and the less space the executioners could move. Zhang Chenran frowned slightly.

  Several dazzling flames appeared in front of them.

  Suddenly, a three-headed creature about 15 or 16 meters long rushed out and blocked everyone's way.

  "How dare you block the way of your uncle Zhao!"

  A lightsaber suddenly appeared in Zhao Manyan's half-clenched right hand. He swung the sword and split the three-headed monster python in half.

  "Huh? This general-level creature is so weak?" Zhao Manyan was stunned.

  Although the expensive demon-slaying tool is powerful, it is still far from being able to kill a general in one move.

  "It was seriously injured and should have escaped. There should be a team ahead of us." Lingling analyzed.

  "A team is walking in front of us?"

  Chen Ying frowned slightly. This was not good news for her.

  "Eye of the Rock Demon—Petrification!"

  There was an angry shout from the front, and the flames were instantly covered with a layer of brown.

  A team of mages walked out from the direction where the three-headed monster python fled. One of them was wrapped in white cloth, which was very conspicuous.

  Zhao Manyan and Chen Ying were stunned. The latter said in disbelief:

  "Mom, why is it you?"

  The white cloth man looked slightly surprised, and her eyes slowly swept over Zhang Chenran and his group.

  "Chen Ying?" The high-level mage who had just dealt with the group of three-headed creatures was stunned when he saw Chen Ying.

  "Uncle?"

  Zhao Manyan was also surprised. He didn't expect that the one who was one step ahead of them was from his own Zhao clan.

  The man with his hair braided backwards came to his senses. He frowned and snorted:

  "What nonsense, is this a place for you little brats to come?"

  "Uncle, don't be in a hurry to scold us. One of our companions had an accident. If nothing unexpected happened, he should have been rescued by the guardian of the Fire Tribulation Fruit. We are looking for him." Zhao Manyan said. Zhao Yulin

  glared at him:

  "Fortunately, you little brats were lucky enough not to be eaten by the monsters. Come to the team. With your abilities, you have sacrificed yourself without even seeing anyone!"

  Zhao Manyan showed a happy face, and Chen Ying ran to her mother.

  Zhang Chenran turned around and looked at Lingling, who said:

  "Their goal is also the Fire Tribulation Fruit. With their help, we can find Mo Fan faster."

  The six people joined Zhao Yulin's team.

  This team, with their few mages, is neither strong nor weak.

  The team is composed of mid-level mages, and the only high-level mages are the team leader Zhao Yulin and the white cloth man.

  It is basically impossible for this team to fight the flame witch alone, but the white cloth man seems to have a friendship with the flame witch.

  In addition, the flame witch is an elemental creature and has good intentions towards humans.

  I guess this time the white cloth man wants to negotiate with her to obtain the fire disaster fruit

  ...

  The white cloth man led a large army through the Fire Cloud Forest and arrived at the edge of the Fire Cloud Forest.

  There is a piece of rocky land with a gentle slope, like a hillside on a flat ground.

  At the top of the hillside, there is a huge tree that is different from all the fire cloud trees. There are no leaves on the tree, and the branches are twisted and winding, with many branches. Even without any leaves, it looks tall and majestic.

  "We are here!" The white cloth man's eyes were full of excitement and joy.

  Everyone was also shocked by the scene in front of them. No one would have thought that there was such a towering tree standing in the middle of the Burning Plain.

  Suddenly, a graceful flame figure floating above the giant tree cast a look here.

  "It's her!"

  Zhang Chenran recognized this flame creature. She was the monarch-level creature that rescued Mo Fan.

  "I'll go talk to her first."

  The white cloth person grinned and walked forward without any precautions. She knew that the flame witch would not hurt her.

  "This is the first time I've been so close to a monarch-level creature." Zhang Xiaohou swallowed nervously.

  "Where's brother Mo Fan? Why can't I see him?" Xinxia's face was full of anxiety.

  There was only the figure of the flame witch around the giant tree, and Mo Fan, who the few people were looking for, was not seen.

  At this time, the white cloth person in the distance waved to Zhao Yulin.

  Zhao Yulin nodded slightly and led the troops behind him to go forward.

  "Let's go and ask the flame witch." Lingling said.

  Zhang Chenran's steps forward froze. He looked up and saw the Flame Witch's eyes looking in his direction.

  Could it be that she still remembers me? Zhang Chenran turned his head in confusion, only to find that the Flame Witch was not looking at him, but Chen Ying beside him.

  Chen Ying's face looked a little unnatural, and she seemed to be struggling with something.

  The Flame Witch floating in the sky retracted her gaze, her eyes full of gloom.

  "Is that the Fire Tribulation Fruit?" Zhang Xiaohou saw the Flame Fruit on the tree and asked in a low voice.

  Although his voice was weak, the Flame Witch still heard his words, and she looked at Zhang Xiaohou with a bit of vigilance.

  Zhang Xiaohou looked embarrassed and lowered his head quickly.

  It seems that the Fire Tribulation Fruit is very important to the Flame Witch. His eyes and words made the Flame Witch wary of him.

  The man in white cloth waved to Chen Ying, and then looked at Zhao Yulin.     Regardless of what they were discussing, Zhang Chenran walked up and politely greeted the elemental creature:

  "Hello!"

  The Fire Witch seemed to understand his words and nodded.

  From Zhang Chenran's angle, she had unclear facial features, and the corners of her mouth seemed to be slightly raised with a smile on her face. In a trance, it seemed as if he saw a kind woman.

  "We have seen before. My companion was washed away by the lava. If you have saved a young man in the lava, then he should be my companion." Zhang Chenran said.

  "Ring!!!"

  The Fire Witch gestured with both hands and finally pointed to another road in the Fire Cloud Forest.

  "You mean he has left here?" Zhang Chenran roughly understood what she meant.

  The Fire Witch nodded.

  The people behind were delighted.

  "We guessed right, Brother Fan is fine!" Zhang Xiaohou smiled.

  "He should not have taken the same road as us, we..."

  Before Zhang Chenran finished speaking, a fire suddenly appeared in front of him, and a circle of flaming fire appeared in the sky.

  "Ring!!!"

  Then, the Fire Witch's voice mixed with pain and anger.

  "Chen Ying! What are you doing!" Zhao Manyan suddenly yelled.

  Chen Ying appeared behind the Fire Witch at some point. She thrust the cold dark blue thorn in her hand into the back of the Fire Witch. The

  cold poison of the cold iron thorn suppressed the flames all over the Fire Witch's body, and even infected other parts of her body.

  A ring of fire gathered above her, and it seemed that the fire ring wanted to burn Chen Ying who attacked her.

  It was unknown whether the flames were suppressed or for other reasons, but the fire ring did not fall.

  "Got it!"

  The white cloth man in the distance was holding the fire fruit taken from the tree in his hand, full of excitement.

  "Ring!!!"

  The Fire Tribulation Fruit was obviously the Fire Witch's Achilles' heel.

  The Fire Witch did not expect this woman to be so vicious, deceiving her, hurting her, repaying kindness with hatred, and even stealing the Fire Tribulation Fruit!

  The sky full of fireballs burned around without warning, but soon went out.

  The cold iron thorns on the back of the Fire Witch obviously greatly reduced her ability, and also made her suffer the pain brought by the cold poison all the time!

  Everything happened too fast. Zhang Chenran and his group, who were closest to the Flame Witch, only felt the temperature around them rise to an extremely terrifying level.

  Although the power was suppressed, the flame creature in front of them was still a monarch-level creature.

  Even if she was suffering from the cold poison, she could still adapt quickly.

  The Flame Witch raised her hands high and gathered the fire elemental power around her again, wanting to bring down the fire disaster on the group of humans who deceived her!

  However, the scream of the girl behind her made the huge energy gathered in her hands stop abruptly and gradually weakened.

  Taking this opportunity, Zhang Chenran used his virtual claws to pull Chen Ying behind the Flame Witch.

  Zhang Chenran glared at Chen Ying in his arms with anger, and then retreated to the back:

  "Go!"

  Zhao Manyan and others behind him also came to their senses and fled to the back desperately.

  This monarch-level elemental creature wanted to destroy them as easily as crushing an ant.

  Strangely, the monarch-level elemental creature did not hurt them, but let them leave until they were out of her attack range.

  Zhang Chenran looked back at the last moment.

  The flame witch kept looking at him, or more precisely, at Chen Ying in his arms

  …

  Everyone did not dare to relax at all under the monarch-level anger, until they escaped from the northern corner of Zhuoyuan and fled to the Shawang River.

  Zhao Yulin and others had obviously planned their escape plan long ago, and even prepared a way to safely cross the Shawang River.

  "Fortunately, I was more careful, otherwise it would be difficult for us to cross the Shawang River. If the flame witch wants to leave Zhuoyuan, she must pass through the Shawang River. In this way, the overlord of the Shawang River will entangle with her, and we can take the opportunity to leave safely."

  The white cloth man said with lingering fear, his eyes full of joy.

  "Chen Ying, you did a good job this time." Zhao Yulin also smiled.

  "Ah!"

  Chen Ying suddenly screamed in pain, and she was thrown on the sand by Zhang Chenran without any hesitation.

  "Do you know what you did?" Zhang Chenran stared at her with anger on his face.

  Chen Ying looked aggrieved, and wanted to explain but didn't know what to say, so she could only let Zhang Chenran get angry at her.

  "What are you doing, brat!" Zhao Yulin walked up and said angrily.

  The white cloth man stood in front of him, looked at Zhang Chenran and said, "Don't blame her, I asked her to do it."

  Zhang Chenran's eyes were cold, staring at her eyes that were full of sinister and viciousness:

  "Do you know that we were almost killed!"

  When the Fire Witch was angry, the white cloth man and Zhao Yulin's group were the farthest away from the Fire Witch, but they who were asking about Mo Fan's whereabouts were the closest to danger.

  But the white cloth man asked Chen Ying to sneak attack the Fire Witch at this time.

  "So what? You asked about the whereabouts of your companions, we just implemented our plan, and besides, you are not dead yet, right?" The white cloth man's tone was full of disdain.

  "Say it again."

  Zhang Chenran's calm tone hid an unprecedented anger, and the darkness in his eyes could burst out infinite dark power at any time!

  The white cloth man frowned, and the intermediate boy actually made her feel afraid.

  "Boy! What do you want to do? If it weren't for us, you wouldn't even be able to find the information of your companions. Do you really think I will tolerate your insolence again and again?"

  Zhao Yulin shouted, and a magical aura emerged around him. The mages behind him also frowned and drew magic star maps.

  "Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

  Extremely angry Zhang Chenran didn't care who the other party was, and directly "borrowed" the power of Youlan in the shadow.

  His mental power soared to a terrifying level in an instant.

  Even under the pressure of Zhao Yulin and Baibu Ren, two high-level mages, he did not show any weakness, and even faintly suppressed the opponent.

  Zhao Yulin's face was ugly. He didn't expect that the opponent's mid-level cultivation could burst out such a terrible mental power.

  He could feel that even his strongest killer move, the Rock Demon Eye, could not do anything to the opponent.

  If they really fought, even if they could beat Zhang Chenran, they would have to pay a painful price.

  Zhang Xiaohou, Zhao Manyan, Lingling, Xinxia and others in the back also didn't expect things to turn out like this.

  But thinking about what they had just experienced, they could understand some of Zhang Chenran's actions.

  After all, they were the ones facing danger. In a way, they were also being used by the white cloth man and Zhao Yulin.

  "Chen, Chen, calm down, calm down uncle, you too, at least tell us before you act, otherwise Chen wouldn't be so angry."

  Zhao Manyan hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade them.

  As a member of the Zhao family, Zhao Manyan couldn't really watch Zhang Chenran and his uncle Zhao Yulin fight.

  What's more, they were still being hunted by the Fire Witch. If they were not careful, they would both be injured and the Fire Witch would just come up to take revenge.

  Zhao Yulin took a deep breath:

  "It was indeed our fault in this matter. I will compensate you. After escaping the pursuit of the Fire Witch, I will also send people to help you find your lost companions."

  "Chen, we are still being hunted by that monarch-level creature."

  Zhao Manyan saw Zhao Yulin give in and hurriedly dissuaded Zhang Chenran.

  Zhang Chenran looked back, suppressed his anger temporarily, and looked at Zhang Xiaohou, Lingling, and Xinxia.

  It was not enough to barely convince him, as they were also in danger at the time.

  "Brother Chen, I listen to you." Zhang Xiaohou looked straight at him.

  "Let's leave here temporarily. Without their protection, we can't escape the pursuit of the Fire Witch." Lingling whispered.

  Xinxia shook her head and said softly:

  "It's enough to know that Brother Mo Fan is safe."

  After getting their reply, Zhang Chenran glanced at the white cloth man coldly and "returned" the spiritual power that exploded in his body.

  Zhao Yulin and the white cloth man breathed a sigh of relief.

  Not daring to delay, everyone continued to flee along the arranged route.
