Chapter 406: Chapter 406

Xu Jinghong also slightly covered his forehead, with an expression that said, "I knew it."

As he had expected, back then Qian Qi saved the Liang Brothers Team with the power of his "Turtle Shell," and later lured the Poisonous Venomous Python to its death with the power of "Nangong Poison Lotus." So naturally, he would now use the power of "Fire Silk Grass" to take the boss away.

After all, Qian Qi wasn’t just thick-skinned; he was also unbelievably strong!

"Her speed is too slow," Xu Jinghong analyzed. "She will be caught by the Magma Tsunami."

The Fire Silk Grass was too large, and Qian Qi couldn’t see the path ahead while carrying it. It was easy for her to trip over the jutting lava rocks, not to mention the many frenzied molten rock demons around attracted by the Snake Vine’s red juice, fighting each other. Qian Qi, accidentally stained with the red juice, was naturally listed among their attack targets.

If it weren’t for her thick skin, she would probably have died countless times by now. Thıs text ıs hosted at NoveIＦire.net

At this moment, Qian Qi’s body was covered in blood red, making it hard to tell whether it was red juice or blood. Watching her struggle to carry the Fire Silk Grass, Xu Jinghong paced anxiously on the mountain, pulling his hair in frustration before coming up with a plan.

"The Demon Core is thirteen inches below the stem, exactly at that wound. We only need to take that part. So, if we slice off the bottom half of the Fire Silk Grass, discarding the part with the flower stem and Snake Vine, we can lighten the load."

By then, the frenzied magic beasts would linger where the Snake Vine remained, and if the Emperor Pythons dealt with the remaining beasts that followed, they could quickly take Qian Qi and leave!

The Emperor Python King looked at the Fire Silk Grass with lingering fear. The attacks from the frenzied magic beasts were getting fiercer, and it was uncertain whether it could break the flower stem of the Fire Silk Grass and charge through the siege amidst the flying beasts and attacks.

Look, those A-level beasts frenzied by the Snake Vine Red Juice aren’t something you can mold easily. Whenever they unleash their skills, everything seems to crumble and shake. The fact that Qian Qi hasn’t fallen into the cracks and can’t get out is truly a blessing from above, an incredible stroke of luck.

The most crucial point was, it still held a bit of hope, "Isn’t she a spiritual awakener? Why not use that super cool skill?"

That super cool Spirit Blood Blade skill, isn’t it able to instantly kill all these advanced magic beasts?

How could Xu Jinghong know? He only understood that if Qian Qi wasn’t using that skill now, it must not be the right time, so he urged, "Maybe the beasts have become frenzied and uncontrollable! If she could use it, she definitely would!"

Seeing the Emperor Python King still hesitating, Xu Jinghong thought of how Qian Qi had previously tricked the Emperor Python King. Though he really didn’t want to act in league with her mischievousness, he shamefully shouted out, "Emperor Python King, help us! We can only rely on you! Only a powerful magic beast emperor like you can save her!"

The Emperor Python King instantly perked up!

"Very well, since only I can save, I shall go!"

The Emperor Python King gallantly led 20 Pythons down the mountain to give Qian Qi a helping hand, while the remaining two pythons stayed with Xu Jinghong, anxiously watching the situation below.

"Can they win?" Emperor Python C asked worriedly.

"I don’t think so," Emperor Python D shook its head. "Look at those Snake Vines."

Xu Jinghong looked over and his eyes suddenly sharpened, "These Snake Vines are about to unravel!"

Originally, Qian Qi threw rocks to entangle these Snake Vines, but the vines were inherently active, and with some cut off by A-level beasts, now they were taking advantage of the situation to unravel the inextricable knots—

The attacks of the Snake Vines were more merciless than Nanny Rong, wrapping and binding everything they touched into a bundle; the weak were instantly pierced through and killed without a complete corpse, while the strong were either bound in the air unable to move or thrown far away.

And Qian Qi, carrying the Fire Silk Grass, was also marked as a prime target for attack.

Facing the swiftly approaching stabbing Snake Vines, Qian Qi instinctively closed her eyes.

Just endure it, it’ll be over.

"Stop holding on, drop it and run!"

Xu Jinghong shouted from the mountain top, hoping Qian Qi could hear him. He didn’t understand why Qian Qi was so stubborn; she was fighting the boss for him, not for herself, so why fight so desperately?

If this boss is lost, there’s another one!

But if she’s gone, there’s no next one!

Yet Qian Qi couldn’t hear him; she could only shut her eyes as if resigning herself to her fate, making some sort of decision.

Xu Jinghong clenched his fist, unwilling to watch any further, yet he forced his eyes open, determined to remember this scene deeply, seeing Qian Qi fighting with all her might below, all to let him, Xu Jinghong, acquire the A-level Fire Element.

He must always remember the painful sacrifices she made for him, and he, Xu Jinghong, will surely not be someone who is cowardly, ungrateful, or treacherous.

If they could survive, he would definitely...

Xu Jinghong stepped forward, and at the foot of the mountain, countless fierce Snake Vines twisted into a sharp spike, piercing straight towards Qian Qi’s body!

Just as the Snake Vines were about to pierce into Qian Qi’s body, in that critical moment, a bullet, from an unknown source, carrying a sharp, piercing sound like it was breaking through space, flew rapidly and exploded abruptly upon touching the Spike of the Snake Vines!

Xu Jinghong suddenly looked up!

Qian Qi also opened her eyes, glanced in confusion at the shattered Snake Vines, "This is..."

The red juice splattered all over her body, also provoking the surrounding berserk Magic Beasts. An A-level Demon Tiger, eyes blood-red, looked at Qian Qi, who was covered in blood, as if it were a starving wolf for three months and pounced aggressively. However, a bullet with a rustling tail sound streaked straight across in front of Qian Qi, as if it too had made a certain resolution, leaving a faint trace before hitting the A-level Demon Tiger’s eye!

"Howl—!" The Demon Tiger was knocked to the side by the bullet’s fierce force, falling to the ground. The intense headache made it roll and howl in pain repeatedly.

Bullets continued to shoot, the powerful momentum and explosive force drove away and violently exterminated the Magic Beasts rushing towards the Emperor Python King. Qian Qi looked up in the direction the bullets came from, where the mountain peaks stretched, making it hard to see anything clearly.

But she was certain, in this instance, the only one who could use a sniper rifle was — Sheng Qing!

But, how could she come? This is an A-level dungeon, wandering alone is very dangerous...

Just as Qian Qi was contemplating wildly, suddenly she heard two more gunshots, sounding as if they were from above her.

Qian Qi couldn’t see clearly, but Xu Jinghong on the mountain could. The two bullets that just streaked across the sky hit right below the wound on the flower stalk, causing two wounds of varying depths, and at this moment, the Emperor Python King took the opportunity to wrap around the flower stalk, fiercely using its tail to twist and break it off at those two wounds.

"Ha—! Break it for this king!!"

The top half of the Fire Silk Grass was successfully twisted off, and the Emperor Python King quickly rolled up the remaining bit of the flower stalk, shouting, "Son, its contractor, run quickly! The Magma Tsunami is coming!"

"Coming!" Qian Qi immediately discarded the useless bare flower stalk in her hand, swiftly running towards the Emperor Python’s serpent body, her powerful sprint instantly knocking away all the Magic Beasts blocking her way.

After riding on the Emperor Python King, she looked back, seeing the root of the left-behind flower stalk still thrashing there, attracting the rest of the Magic Beasts that lingered, fighting each other.

There were also about ten Magic Beasts attracted to the red juice on Qian Qi and the Emperor Pythons, chasing after Qian Qi, but they were easily dealt with by the Emperor Pythons nearby.

These berserk Magic Beasts, without exception, would ultimately be swallowed by the impending Magma Tsunami.

She turned back and asked the Emperor Python, "Where’s Xu Jinghong?"

"On the mountain." Just as the Emperor Python King finished speaking, Xu Jinghong was seen hastily descending the mountain on Emperor Python C to join them.

"That was just now," Xu Jinghong looked at Qian Qi, his meaning evident.

"Yes, that’s right, it was Sheng Qing." Qian Qi nodded, "She came, to the northeast."

Perhaps all the way, Sheng Qing had been tailing her and Xu Jinghong, but because she didn’t have an Anti-Heat Magic Potion, could only stop here.

"Let’s go, find her first!"

Having said that, Qian Qi drove the Emperor Python King towards the northeast direction.

At the same time, on a mountaintop in the northeast, a woman in black lay prone, her long hair flying in the wind, her slender white fingers lightly pressed against the black sniper rifle, her calm and focused eyes gently aligned on the sniper scope, calmly observing the situation around the distant people.

Having confirmed that Qian Qi no longer needed help, she slightly moved her stiff neck, and the solid, crisp sound of cracks could be heard, "Crack—"

Beside her, Xi Pingzhe clutched a small notebook, crouched on the ground, anxiously asking, "How is it? Has Master escaped danger?"
