Ascension

Chapter 159: The furious Flame Boy and the sneaky Yehan Lord

Ye Hanjun is not optimistic about this action.

At least in the current situation, Homura is as stable as a rock, and it is impossible for two or three mayors to take it down.

Relying on the advantage of numbers to fire volleys of firepower is difficult to achieve in an environment like a mine.

If one of them was not done well, Yandongzi would not be in good condition. He would be buried alive in the ground, throwing away his helmet and armor, running around in a mess.

"Let's see. If Lan'an Town can find reinforcements and the combat power of both sides can be balanced, we still have a chance to fish in troubled waters."

"Otherwise, there is no need to join in the fun, just be an outsider."

Lord Ye Han made a preliminary plan, and a sound of breaking through the sky resounded through the sky.

In the distant sky, a wild goose roared over.

It looks like two fans, with bent wing bones, whirling wing feathers, and swooping down.

It's actually "Fan Goose"?
This is the naturally ascended and evolved form of "Great Wind Goose", which controls the element of wind.

But it is not a monster, but a savage beast. It knows nothing about magic skills and is better at hand-to-hand combat.

"It's the mayor! The mayor is here!"

"Mayor Cui! I'm waiting for you! Only you can take charge of the overall situation!"

The law enforcement team members holding the cordon wiped the cold sweat from their cheeks, took a long breath, and looked a little more relaxed.

"call!!"

Two and thirty meters above the ground, the swooping fan geese suddenly stopped.

The figure on the back jumped out in one step, without any treasure to protect it, and just landed on the ground, unscathed.

"How's it going?"

Cui Xue glanced coldly at the divided mining crowd, and then her sharp eyes fell on Lu Wu.

"Almost all personnel in the second area have been evacuated."

"Most of the people in the first, third, and fourth districts... have also been evacuated, and the rest are still being expelled."

"Where's the Fire Elephant Tree? That fire-attributed guardian beast is never far away?"

Cui Xue frowned and couldn't help asking.

"Yes." Lu Wu lowered his voice and said:

"Although we set up a cordon, due to the chaos and lack of manpower, several groups of family members still passed us and forcibly explored the place where the incident occurred."

"I followed behind and witnessed with my own eyes that the fireballs automatically locked onto the living bodies that were approaching. Those with fragile bodies were blown up on the spot. Only a few sensitive and fire-resistant ones managed to escape by chance."

"In this way, this monster is very powerful, and I may not be his opponent."

Cui Xue thought for a moment, handed over a token, and whispered:
"Lu Wu, find two guards with fast feet and go to a nearby town overnight.

"Whether you are inviting the mayor or issuing a mercenary mission, be sure to invite a few third-level favored masters over."

"Attention! Be reliable! Those who have no identity and can't figure it out... stay away from them!"

"Ah?" Lu Wu was surprised, "Sister Cui, if you invite others to come, the potential risks will increase several times..."

"I can't care too much." Cui Xue said calmly: "Since the guardian beast is so strong and I can't defeat it by myself, I can only ask for help."

"As long as you can finally get the petals of the fire tree and distribute them according to your work, it will be a satisfying opportunity."

"okay, I get it!"

Lu Wu nodded and said worriedly:
"But...the aroma is getting stronger and stronger, and time is too tight..."

"It's hard for me to guarantee that reinforcements will have arrived when the flowers bloom..."

"Do your best and obey the destiny."

After Cui Xue said six words, she remained silent.

"Well, if you have plenty of time, going to Canghai Pavilion to find a few tutors is actually the most reliable choice."

"Look for those passerby mercenaries. Every one who can get to the third level is a master who kills without blinking an eye. It will be difficult to serve..."

Lu Wu, who had his eyebrows twisted together, walked in a hurry and left alone.

"Mayor Cui, this is unfair. Why are you driving us all out?"

"Yeah, what on earth is this fire tree? There is a jade baby squatting next to it. It must be a priceless treasure!"

In the crowded crowd, the brave ones began to shout.

Cui Xue glanced at Fan Yan. The latter was self-explanatory. It took off with a roar, almost sticking to the ground, and swooped over the heads of hundreds of people.

Noise - instantly subsided!
When the life aura of Yuying's fetus appeared close to him, the beloved master who tried to fan the flames was extinguished faster than anyone else.

"If you want to die, you can go down to the mine now. I won't stop you."

"But the ugly talk is ahead. Even I don't dare to take risks easily. If you are really capable, why do you stay here and yell?"

After two sentences, the crowd fell into silence.

Cui Xue glanced disdainfully, jumped towards a pothole with fast and powerful steps.

"Hey, it's all over, it's not interesting."

"If you don't have the strength, but you want to get your hands on a priceless treasure, you are really asking for death."

"Don't worry, brother, what's wrong with your low rank? Haven't you heard of the conflict between the snipe and the clam, and the fisherman gets the benefit?"

"The aroma was so strong that the whole town could smell it."

"I think there must be people who are quick-thinking and are spreading the news. We can't fight for it, but that doesn't mean others don't have a chance!"

"Huh? What should I say?" The person who spoke first was confused.

"Just wait and see what happens, wait and see what happens!"

The hostess, who smiled sinisterly like a fox, rubbed his hands and thought:

"The big guys are fighting each other. We don't want to get the best chance. We just grab some scraps to eat and drink. That's great luck!"

"I think many people think the same as me. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. How can we just retreat? The more chaotic it is, the more profitable it is!"

……

The sound of whispers fell clearly on Lord Ye Han's ears.

He ignored it and just stuck to his post with Ren Wo Kuang.

This night... was very restless!

The aroma in the air is getting stronger and stronger.

Some people's cheeks turn red just by smelling this aroma, as if they were drunk.

Lan'ao Town has also fallen into a rare state of first-level martial law. No one is allowed to leave or enter, and it has become like a prison.

However, Ye Hanjun still discovered that paper cannot cover fire.

The security force of Lan Eel Town was not enough to deter the gathered Lords.

Holders of powers such as messengers, scouts, bandits, robbers, knights, and insect farmers also have a variety of ways to communicate with the outside world.

Can't stop it, can't stop it at all.

After all, Blue Eel Town is a small place. It cannot be compared with a big city, let alone Canghai Pavilion.

At dawn the next day, Ye Hanjun sensed more than once that someone had crossed the outer wall and sneaked into the town from the outer defense line of the town.

These people are both strong and weak. Although the child of the third rank and Yuying has not been found yet, if it continues, the riot will inevitably affect the whole town.

"Brother Ren, Brother Bai, follow me!"

At noon, just after dinner, Chen Mai hurried over.

He was out of breath, his demeanor was completely gone, and he couldn't look like a patrolman.

"The fragrance is too strong, the fire elephant flower is about to mature!"

"Mayor Cui has given an order, we can't delay it any longer, we will take action in half an hour!"

"Half an hour...so urgent?"

Ren Wokuang was puzzled, with a trace of doubt on his face.

"Yes!" Chen Mai calmed down his breathing, made sure there was no one around him, and said nervously:

"It is said that a reinforcement has arrived. He is the old mayor of the next town. He is a little more powerful than Mayor Cui."

"After discussing it, they decided to do it at all costs."

"After all, if the petals are all mature, they will definitely fall into the zombie's belly immediately, and we won't get any benefits."

"As long as you pick it in advance, even if the medicinal properties of the elixir are not fully displayed, it will still be a satisfying spiritual thing."

"Maybe Mayor Cui can pass it, exchange it for delicacies more suitable for Fan Yan, and then advance to the level of Yuying Xiaocheng..."

"I see."

Ren Wo Kuang understood clearly and took the initiative to ask:

"You specifically called us, what do you need us to do?"

"That's right," Chen Mai said in a low voice: "The two mayors will suddenly take action, one will try to seduce, and the other will rob him."

"If this strategy fails, they will do whatever it takes to provoke them, and they may need a third layer of insurance to help them pick the flowers."

"You want the two of us to go?"

Let me wrinkle my wild and thick eyebrows:
"This isn't appropriate. Compared to the patrol, the two of us are too weak."

"There are so many candidates, why choose us?"

"No, no, no, Brother Ren misunderstood."

"There are three guards responsible for the third level of insurance."

"But you have also seen that the current chaos in Lan'an Town is just for fear that someone will take advantage of the chaos and ruin our major event."

Chen Mai quickly waved his hand and emphasized repeatedly:

"In addition to the hands-on people, we also need a group of strong enough 'guards' to take on the task of blocking it!"

"No matter what, we must not let those with ulterior motives affect the overall action!"

"Brother Ren and Brother Bai, if you cooperate tacitly, why not serve as the guard of one of the main passages."

"You just need to adapt to circumstances and deal with them flexibly. If you can, try to stop them. If you really can't stop them, you should first protect yourself. Anyway, there will be guards behind you."

"In this case, although it is dangerous, it is not that extreme."

"If the final plan is implemented smoothly, Mayor Cui said that every soldier will not be treated badly, and everyone will be rewarded heavily."

Chen Mai finished speaking in one breath, staring at Ren Wokuang with piercing eyes, obviously treating him as the person who made the final decision.

Ye Hanjun glanced at a cluster of shadows on the ground, and the shadows slowly climbed up.

It is like an inconspicuous little snake, gently wrapped around Renwokuang's ankle, twisting a little bit, and finally turned into a small text.

--Can.

After understanding what Master Han meant, Ren Wokuang broke his contemplative expression and nodded to Chen Mai:

"Okay, since we are adapting to circumstances, we will take over this job."

"But Brother Chen, don't expect too much from us. We are just the top soldiers and have little ability to influence success or failure."

"Hahaha, where is it!"

"Brother Ren is an elite student of Canghai Pavilion. He has such fighting prowess at such a young age. I don't know how many people are jealous!"

Chen Mai smiled broadly, hammered Ren Wo Kuang's chest hard, and greeted:

"Time is running out. I will take you to the defensive position. Follow me!"

...Ten minutes later, Chen Mai stood still, pointed at a place and smiled happily:
"This is it. This is the core passage from the third area to the second area. If there are no guards, someone will definitely invade."

"The battle will start at any time, and it's up to you two. I wish you a successful victory! Everyone can make a lot of money!"

"Brother Chen, take care!"

Ren Wo cradled his fists and watched Chen Mai leave.

When his senses could no longer be touched, Ye Hanjun pursed his lips and smiled slightly:
"Okay, it's too dangerous to directly intervene in Yan Dozi's fight."

"This position is estimated to be five kilometers apart. You can advance and attack, retreat and defend. There is room for both sides."

"What are Master Han's plans?" Ren Wo was curious. "Do we really want to stay here as guards, or should we give up the mission and go back to join the fight?"

"Let's adapt to changes." Ye Hanjun said to himself, "The mayor named Cui is also decisive. Seeing that the mature fire flower is unable to compete, he sets his target at the immature stage."

"In this way, we do have a chance to win."

"But it's a pity that they don't seem to know that the fire tree that only bloomed 600 years ago is not yet fully mature and fully mature. These are two concepts, and there is a huge gap between them."

"Master Han, what do you mean...that all their hard work will be in vain?" Ren Wokuang glared slightly.

"That's not the case." Lord Ye Han chuckled and shook his head, "If we can pick it successfully, it will still be a good opportunity for a third-level favored master."

"But such a large-scale war will definitely hurt Lan'e Town."

"Even if Cui Xue gets it, her actual expenditure and return are not proportional. If you think about it afterwards, your teeth will probably be broken."

"It sounds a bit miserable..."

Let me raise my eyebrows wildly, thoughtfully.

"Let's just stay here. It's better to be an outsider this time."

"At least when the battle starts, I will get closer and take a look."

"However, Homura's corpse crystal is not a necessity. When he becomes stronger, there will be no shortage of similar resources. There is a high probability that I will not take risks."

"You all follow Master Han's arrangements." Ren Wo Kuang followed.

"Yeah!"

Guagua appeared out of nowhere and circled Renwolang.

It does not like "disaster" and "prison" as the doomsday messengers of the Chaos Seal.

But I neither like nor dislike the muscular zombies with the seal of "Underworld".

Unfortunately, it seems that Guagua has no impression of it because of the stage of letting the waves shine.

Now promoted to Xiazhao Xiaocheng, Guagua has not yet been promoted, and the gap in rank hinders its transformation technique.

If not, Guagua would have been able to transform into a muscle zombie and happily experience the feeling of having infinite strength.

"Is it here?"

"It should be, let's dig further and see..."

"Oh!"

From the branch passage on the right front, two men whispered.

Ye Hanjun glanced at it, let me nod wildly, and strode out.

Within a few moments, the two old men who tried to bypass the main passage and dig towards the Fire Elephant Tree were both knocked unconscious.

They should be F-level "miners" who can enhance the mining ability of the contracted spirits.

But if you don't have the strength and want to take advantage of others, you are really too courageous, and ten lives are not enough to play.

Ye Hanjun had reason to suspect that just knocking them out instead of killing them was equivalent to saving their lives.

"It's nothing to worry about. Just find a hole and throw it in and let them lie there for a long time."

"Bang!" Renwo Kuang thought the same thing.

Like an eagle catching a chicken, he carried the two of them and threw them into a five-meter-deep pit. Then he clapped his hands and brushed off the dust on his clothes, as if nothing happened.

"Oh!"

"Bang bang bang!"

Not to mention, a few minutes later, Ye Hanjun discovered another "mouse".

This mouse is relatively fat and is a second-level "scout".

The contracted spirit is Xia Zhao Xiaocheng's "Fire Bat", which is very suitable for environments like fire element mines.

However, he still couldn't overcome the barrier of Ren Wokuang and Ye Hanjun.

Just as Ren Wolang was chasing Yan Bat and throwing stones like crazy, Lord Yehan unknowingly touched the scout's back, and when he reacted, a machete was already placed on his neck.

"Don't, don't kill me..."

The scout was trembling with fear on his face.

"Recover the Spirit."

Lord Ye Han ordered coldly.

"well."

No matter how shocked he was, with the blade pointed at his neck, the scout had no choice but to follow the order and forcibly retrieve the flame bat.

The next second, Ye Hanjun knocked him out.

Just like the previous miners, he threw it into the pit and his surroundings became quiet again.

"boom!!"

"Ho ho ho ho! Ouch!!!!"

Leaning against the wall, Ye Hanjun stood lazily with a calm expression.

Suddenly, a loud noise was heard, the hot cave walls shook again and again, and countless dust fell.

"The fighting has started, I'm going to take a look."

"If there's danger, just retreat. There's no need to fight for it."

Ye Hanjun warned, the Darkest Demonic Eye was 100% activated, and the whole person turned into mist and dissipated in place.

Let me watch him leave wildly, standing boldly in the middle of the passage, my whole person exuding an edge that would be better than mine.

……

boom!boom!Boom boom boom!
My ears were filled with the sound of explosions, getting louder and louder.

Smell gently, although the fragrance of flowers is still there, it weakens at an alarming speed.

Is this... successful?

Cui Xue and the other old mayor are really resolute...

Thinking about it, Lord Ye Han approached cautiously.

The Demonic Attendant has reached the peak of the first level, but before he officially breaks through, his own concealment effect will be difficult to hide from the keen perception of the second level Familiar Master.

In order to ensure that he is not exposed, he must control the distance, and then use the chaos of the battlefield to achieve the effect of snooping by bystanders.

boom boom-

boom boom-

From the corner of his eye, there were burning flames everywhere.

Across a wall, Ye Hanjun sensed a fireball coming and quickly dodged back.

There was only an explosion, and the half-meter-thick rock wall was violently destroyed, leaving a ten-meter-diameter hole with a large number of scorch marks.

"Whoosh!"

Ye Hanjun caught a glimpse of Cui Xue riding a fan goose and passed by.

Then came the furious Flame Boy, holding a spear, stepping on a fire wheel, and trying hard to catch up with his teeth bared.

"Tear!"

A waterfall appeared and was evaporated within a second.

A wind blade slashed back, a tongue of fire spit out from his mouth, and the wind blade disappeared.

On the side, an ice ape beat its chest, then leaped high into the sky, hitting the ground with both fists.

"boom!!!"

The earth shook and the sky shook, and the blue-white ice crystal pillars spread forward layer by layer, and finally propped up an ice barrier to block Yan Dozi's pursuit.

But Homura just kicked him, and dense cracks appeared in the ice barrier.

When the spear burning with crimson flames hit the ice barrier fiercely, the sizzling mist covered the sky, leaving half breathless and nothing left.

"Run away! This guy is crazy!"

"The environment here is perfect for it. It continuously absorbs fire elements. We must lead it out of the mine before we can defeat it!"

The voices of Cui Xue and the other old man gradually faded away.

Also fading away was Homura's hot breath that burned his heart and lungs.

Ye Hanjun blinked, and his eyes became as calm as the lake surface again.

If the guess is correct, Cui Xue and the old mayor of the next town must have succeeded.

Otherwise, Homura wouldn't have become so crazy.

Only when a treasure that has been waiting for many years is suddenly snatched away by someone at the last moment can such intense anger be aroused.

However... when it is brought to the ground, there are good and bad things.

The advantage is that it can indeed weaken Homura Doji.

The bad thing is that Yantongzi is still strong, and before its reserve of fire elements is exhausted, Lanyan Town is afraid that it will suffer.

"what?"

Lord Yehan interrupted his thoughts, returned to the shadow state, and continued to sneak.

Near the Fire Elephant Tree, sporadic fighting sounds became more and more intense, like gangs fighting each other, becoming more and more lively.

He was a little curious, since the rightful owner had fled far away, why were the remaining people fighting?
"Brothers, rush! Although we have no chance to get the petals of the Fire Elephant Flower, the trunk of the Fire Elephant Tree must be a treasure!"

"That's right! These leaves are as red as blood, and each one is condensed with pure fire elements. If you can collect some, they will be of great benefit to cultivate fire-attributed spirits!"

The greedy conversation reached his ears, and Lord Ye Han laughed dumbly.

According to normal logic, being able to breed rare elixirs is indeed a treasure that cannot be bought for a lot of money.

But the fire-sign tree happens to be the type that doesn’t take the usual path.

Ninety-nine percent of its essence is concentrated on the petals, and the remaining parts are added together. Even if it is valuable, there is absolutely no need for so many powerful second-level dependent masters to risk death to fight for it.

——No need.

In fact, this is a treasure with unequal risk and value. One after another participated in the competition, but they did not understand the characteristics of the fire tree and suffered from insufficient knowledge.

"Hu Dai, go and attract fire, and pay attention to safety."

"Raspberry, let the Grimace Moth spray the frightening powder. Pay special attention to the guards who were injured by the Flame Boy. Don't let them continue to participate in the fight."

"Ah Gu, I leave the job of digging the tree to you. Keep the roots as complete as possible. The more intact the better."

"Of course, if it really doesn't work, you can give up everything else, but I have a great use for this tree heart, and I must not let it go."

A man with a low voice gave orders.

Ye Hanjun's eyes lit up when he faintly heard his voice.

Someone can actually identify... is this Homura Doji?

Also, I am determined to win the fire tree... the most likely possibility is that it can be used as medicine?
