Chapter 850 (2/2)

However, an Earth Flame did not possess a body of flesh and blood . When its body was broken, it transformed into runes that once more condensed into a flame dragon, continuing to attack the flame lion .

But Huo Long’s huge body was as weak as paper in front of the flame lion . It wasn’t able to receive a single blow .

“Senior, can you help me suppress that Earth Flame?” asked Long Chen to the Eastern Wasteland Bell .

This Earth Flame Beast was too powerful . If this continued, it wouldn’t be long before Huo Long couldn’t hold on any longer . And without Huo Long’s protection, Long Chen wouldn’t stand a chance against this flame lion .

“That is simple for me, but I must warn you: if I do that, it will cancel out the karma of me taking your reward from the trial . Other than that, for freeing me, I can help you out once in a life and death situation . But once I do, the karma between us will be over . I can’t randomly help you . We are on completely different levels; you understand?” said the Eastern Wasteland Bell .

Long Chen smiled . “Don’t worry senior, I’m not such a greedy person . Nor will I depend on others . ”

The main problem was just that the flame lion was too powerful . Huo Long was unable to even trap it . Otherwise, he wouldn’t even need to ask the Eastern Wasteland Bell . As long as Huo Long could have trapped it for a single moment, he could have pulled it into the primal chaos s.p.a.ce . Long Chen trusted that the primal chaos bead was definitely capable of subduing it .

“There are many kinds of Earth Flames . Your Earth Flame is called the Blue Underground Flame . In truth, its ranking isn’t very high . It isn’t even in the top hundred . The Blood Incinerating Lion Flame in front of you is much better . It’s ranked ninety-sixth . My advice would be for you to subdue the Blood Incinerating Lion Flame and then feed your current Earth Flame to it . That would get you the most benefits . ”

Long Chen shook his head . “Just like Little Snow, I don’t think of Huo Long as a helper or a weapon, but a companion who fights alongside me . As long as it doesn’t abandon me, I won’t abandon it . You can consider that foolish, but I’m used to that foolishness . I can’t change this fault of mine, so please go ahead!”

Long Chen understood what the Eastern Wasteland Bell was saying . The Blue Underground Flame’s innate ability wasn’t very high . There was no value in raising it, so it was better to switch it with the Blood Incinerating Lion Flame .

However, what Long Chen was after wasn’t to increase the profit as much as possible . He couldn’t toss aside companions.h.i.+p for profit . Although he knew the Eastern Wasteland Bell’s suggestion was the right one, because he was Long Chen, he couldn’t do it .

Seeing that, the Eastern Wasteland Bell didn’t get angry . In fact, although he found such a thing very foolish, he also found it likable . It was its first time seeing such a person .

A broken bell appeared in the air . Although the bell was incomplete, a majestic aura filled the air . A will that could subdue the world appeared .

A single speck of rust fell from the Eastern Wasteland Bell’s surface, revealing an immortal character . In that instant, Long Chen was shocked to find that the world seemed to suddenly become still . Time and s.p.a.ce were frozen .

BOOM!

A golden wave flew out of the bell, slamming into the flame lion . The flame lion instantly exploded, becoming runes .

Those runes were then rapidly condensed into a ball by some inexplicable energy . Huo Long directly swallowed that ball and then returned to Long Chen’s arm .

The Eastern Wasteland Bell disappeared . Huo Long had also disappeared . Everything had disappeared . The world returned to normal, as if everything that had just happened had just been an illusion .

Long Chen shook his head, only now recovering from his shock . He finally understood just how terrifying the Eastern Wasteland Bell was .

It was in a broken, half-dead state, but it was able to subdue this terrifying Earth Flame, seemingly without expending any effort .

He gulped . This was a legendary divine item . It was truly powerful . If it was at its peak, wouldn’t it be powerful enough to destroy the entire world?

But such a terrifying existence had ended up in such a miserable situation . Just what secrets were hiding behind this? Long Chen couldn’t ask, as even if he did, the Eastern Wasteland Bell wouldn’t answer .

“It has devoured the Blood Incinerating Lion Flame and descended into slumber . It will take a while for it to absorb all that energy; after all, the Blood Incinerating Lion Flame is many times stronger than it . On the other hand, if you had allowed the Blood Incinerating Lion Flame to devour it, not only would its battle power have rapidly increased, but it would have been able to fight very quickly . Ah, old people really talk a lot!” The Eastern Wasteland Bell suddenly mocked itself .

“Many thanks for your good intentions, senior . I’m just too stupid and obstinate . I can only live like this for the rest of my life,” laughed Long Chen, comforting the Eastern Wasteland Bell . Although he hadn’t listened to it, he still accepted its intentions .

“Fine, although I find this character of yours a bit inconceivable, it seems this kind of a character makes it easier for you to win other people’s trust . It’s not necessarily a bad thing . Let’s go; this Blood Incinerating Lion Flame was your greatest gain here, and once Huo Long awakens, you’ll get a pleasant surprise,” said the Eastern Wasteland Bell .

Long Chen nodded . He truly had gained a great deal . In fact, he even felt like his own luck wasn’t that bad .

The Earth Flame had released a wave of flame energy every now and then from here . His guess was that the mother dragon had been too weak while incubating eggs, but she had forcibly absorbed the flame energy to cultivate . After all, that flame energy only came every now and then, so it was very precious to the Earth Dragons . But in her weakened state, the encroachment of the flame energy must have disrupted her aura, shattering her Neidan and causing her to die .

Once he returned atop the mountain, Long Chen suddenly saw a group of people around the Earth Dragon’s corpse . He frowned and quickly rushed over .
