Chapter 296 - 159: The Furious Flame Child, Sneaky Ye Hanjun_3
"What is Master Han planning?" Renwo Kuang was curious, "Are we really going to stay here as guards, or abandon the mission and intervene in the competition?"
"Play it by ear." Ye Hanjun mused, "This Mayor Cui is decisive. Seeing that the mature Flame Elephant Flower is powerless to compete, he’s set his sights on the immature one."
"If so, there’s indeed a chance to take it."
"Unfortunately, they don’t seem to realize that a Fire Elephant Tree, which only blooms every six hundred years, is different in its fully mature and not fully mature stages. The gap between the two is huge."
"Master Han means...they’re making futile efforts?" Renwo Kuang widened his eyes slightly.
"Not really." Ye Hanjun said with a light laugh, "If they can successfully harvest it, it’s still a good opportunity for a third-rank Patron."
"But such a big commotion will inevitably cripple Blue Eel Town."
"Even if Cui Xue gets it, her real expenditure and return are not proportional. After calculating, she’ll probably clench her teeth in frustration."
"It sounds a bit miserable..."
Renwo Kuang arched an eyebrow, deep in thought.
"Let’s just stay here, this time I advise more to be a bystander."
"At most, when the battle starts, I’ll take a closer look."
"However, the Corpse Crystal of the Flame Child isn’t a necessity. When our strength improves a bit more, we won’t lack similar resources, so I’m unlikely to take the risk."
"We’ll follow Master Han’s arrangement." Renwo Kuang agreed.
"Yiye!"
GuaGua, who had poked his head out at some point, was circling around Renwo Lang.
It doesn’t like the Disaster and Prison as the Doomsday Messengers of the Chaos Seal.
But for the Muscle Zombie of the "Underworld" Seal, it doesn’t particularly like or dislike it.
Unfortunately, it seems because Renwo Lang’s stage of Rainbow Light Virtual Extraction, GuaGua doesn’t have much impression of him.
Now that he’s advanced to Small Achievement Rainbow Light, GuaGua hasn’t upgraded yet, the difference in their realms hinders his Morphing Technique.
If not so, GuaGua should be able to transform into a Muscle Zombie, experiencing the joy of immense strength.
"Is it here?"
"It should be, go ahead and dig further..."
"Bang!"
Low voices of two men came from the branch tunnel on the right-hand side.
Ye Hanjun glanced over. Renwo Kuang nodded and rushed out.
In a few strikes, the two old men who tried to bypass the main tunnel and dug towards the Fire Elephant Tree were both knocked out.
They appear to be F-rank ’miners’ who can enhance the digging ability of their Contracted Spirit Fond Spirits.
But without enough strength and trying to take shortcuts, they were really too audacious. Ten lives wouldn’t be enough for them to gamble with.
Ye Hanjun had reason to suspect that by knocking them out instead of killing them, he had effectively saved their lives.
"They’re not a big deal, just throw them into any hole and let them lie there for half a day."
"Bang!" Renwo Kuang thought the same.
He threw the two men into a five-meter-deep hole like an eagle grabbing chicks, then dusted off his clothes as if nothing had happened.
"Bang!"
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Surprisingly, a few minutes later, Ye Hanjun found another "mouse."
This mouse was rather plump, a second-rank ’scout’.
His Contracted Spirit Fond Spirit was the Small Achievement level ’Flame Bat’, which was very suitable for the environment of the Fire Elemental Mine.
However, he still couldn’t bypass the barrier set by Renwo Kuang and Ye Hanjun.
While Renwo Lang was chasing the Flame Bat frantically throwing stones, Ye Hanjun stealthily moved behind the scout. By the time he reacted, a large machete was already at his neck.
"Don’t, don’t kill me..."
The scout trembled, his face full of fear.
"Recall your spirit."
Ye Hanjun commanded coldly.
"Okay, okay."
Despite his shock, with the blade against his neck, the scout had to follow orders and forcibly recall the Flame Bat.
The next second, Ye Hanjun knocked him out.
Just like the previous miners, he was thrown into a hole and everything quieted down again.
"Boom!!"
"Roar! Aaargh!!!"
Leaning against the wall, Ye Hanjun stood lazily, his demeanor calm.
Suddenly, a huge noise came, and the scorching cave wall shook repeatedly, with countless dust falling.
"The fight has started, I’m going to take a look."
"If there’s danger, retreat directly. It’s not worth risking our lives for this."
Ye Hanjun advised, fully activating The Darkest Demon Eye. He turned into a mist and disappeared on the spot.
Renwo Kuang watched him leave, standing firmly in the middle of the tunnel, exuding an aura of invincibility.
...
Boom! Boom! Boom boom boom!
Explosions echoed in his ears, one louder than the last.
If he sniffed slightly, the fragrance of the flower was still there, but it was weakening at a startling speed.
Have they...succeeded?
Cui Xue and the other old town mayor are really decisive...
Musing, Ye Hanjun cautiously approached.
The Demon Servant has already touched the peak of the first rank, but before his official breakthrough, his concealment effect is hard to trick the keen senses of a second-rank Patron.
To ensure he doesn’t expose himself, he has to control his distance and then take advantage of the chaos on the battlefield to observe as a bystander.
Boom boom boom——
Boom boom boom——
Out of the corner of his eye, he could see fires burning everywhere.
Through a wall, Ye Hanjun sensed a fireball flying towards him and quickly dodged back.
With a loud noise, the rock wall, half a meter thick, was violently destroyed, leaving a hole with a diameter of ten meters, with many scorch marks remaining.
"Whoosh!"
Ye Hanjun caught a glimpse of Cui Xue riding a Fan Goose, disappearing in a flash.
Then it was the rage-filled Flame Child, holding a long spear, stepping on a fire wheel, showing his teeth and chasing after them fiercely.
