Chapter 218 Natural Enemy

In the middle Abyss, the scorching wind howled, bringing with it the pungent smell of sulfur, constantly blowing at the charred ground.

Fat Tiger cautiously poked a head out of the cave residence. He looked around, found nothing moving around him, and slowly extended his other two heads.

The three noses of the three heads sniffed with all their might and identified the smells in the air. After confirming that there was indeed no smell of ‘that guy’, Fat Tiger completely crawled out. His master had been gone for a long time, so long that Fat Tiger could not even count the number of days. However, Fat Tiger was a good child. He still remembered that Master Roy had told him to watch over the house when he left, so even after so long, Fat Tiger still stayed nearby.

After emerging, Fat Tiger turned back, raised the soil to cover the hole he had drilled out of, and then carefully spread his wings and flew into the distance.

As he flew, Fat Tiger vigilantly observed the surrounding ground under him.

As Roy had left for so long, the ice and snow near the cave where he and Fat Tiger lived had already melted. After losing the ice and snow, the ground near the cave returned to its scorching black state.

Of course, with Fat Tiger around, the area around the cave was still his and Roy’s territory. Fat Tiger was still fierce, and any middle-rank demon who dared to approach here would be chased away or bitten to death. Fat Tiger faithfully fulfilled his master’s instructions.

However, despite this situation lasting for a long time, the situation changed about forty days ago.

A powerful balor, a flame demon, appeared near the territory!

Balors could be said to be one of the more famous demon races among the Abyss demons. Their massive bodies were burning with raging flames, and they had huge demon horns and hideous faces. Their weapons were usually flame whips or flame swords. They were notorious for being hot-tempered and easily angered. In many myths and legends of numerous worlds, they appeared as the representative of demons. And in the Abyss, they were also recognized as powerful. The demons of this race had relatively strong bloodlines, and they could often smoothly promote to high-rank demons.

Balors were a kind of elemental demon and the archenemies of frost demons. Fire and water were incompatible, and it was vividly portrayed between balors and frost demons. Even many demon lords felt that if they wanted to recruit an army without internal conflicts, they could not recruit balors if they recruited frost demons, and vice-versa.

This balor that appeared near the territory was a guy about to promote to high-rank demon. He seemed to have been wandering in the middle Abyss for a long time. Along the way, his huge body left long-lasting flame trails on the ground, forming a flame-like path, and the demons that encountered him either died or avoided him in fear. It could be said that this flame demon was a walking flame.

When he passed by Roy’s territory, Fat Tiger glared at him from afar in order to protect the territory, afraid that he would break into it.

Facing a hellhound, the balor actually looked down on it and had not thought of staying. But unfortunately, just as the balor was about to leave the territory, a scorching wind blew over and spread Fat Tiger’s scent!

This balor immediately stopped. He could smell the scent coming from the wind. In fact, his sense of smell was not very sensitive, but out of his sensitivity to natural enemies, he could smell the unique scent of frost demons from Fat Tiger’s smell.

When he realized that there was actually a frost demon nearby, the balor immediately ignited his fighting spirit. He turned around and slowly walked back.

Fat Tiger realized that something was wrong. He immediately bared his teeth and roared at the flame demon, warning him not to get close. However, the flame demon laughed sinisterly and whipped his whip at Fat Tiger.

Fat Tiger, who had good combat awareness, immediately jumped away and launched a counterattack. His frost head opened its mouth and shot ice bullets at the flame demon.

Fat Tiger’s three heads had frost, fire, and venom attacks. Without a doubt, fire attacks were useless against flame demons, and the venom was the same. In front of the burning body, the venom would evaporate before it even hit the flame demon. Only frost attacks could cause some damage to the flame demon. Unfortunately, Fat Tiger’s frost power was not as strong as Roy’s. Against a natural enemy of frost demons like the flame demon, its frost power was not enough!

The balor waved his hand and turned Fat Tiger’s ice bullets into wisps of blue smoke. Then he sneered, stretched out his finger, and hooked it at Fat Tiger’s position!

Boom! An explosive pillar of fire rose from the ground where Fat Tiger was. If Fat Tiger had not dodged quickly, he would have been hit!

This balor did not approach him. He just stood on the spot and continuously used magic to create huge flame pillars that spewed out like oil blowouts, forcing Fat Tiger to flee in all directions.

Fat Tiger had no choice but to spread his wings and fly up. He flew over in the sky and looked down at the flame demon. But unexpectedly, the flame demon did not dodge and let Fat Tiger pounce on him.

Fat Tiger had just landed on the flame demon’s shoulder, but before he could open his mouths and bite down, a burnt smell came from the soles of his feet. Fat Tiger screamed and flew up again, only to find that the soles of his feet had been burned!
