Chapter 102: Springflame [6] (2/2)

”Keep cutting at them. They're loosing their strength.”

The battle against the fire wolves, had taken bigger effort on their part. The body cultivators did most of the fighting and were supported by the soul cultivators. Ju Feng's knowledge of some basic forms of martial arts received commendation. Even his slightly fortified body as a soul cultivator, raised a few eye brows. He knew they would be asking if he was a body cultivator too. Only if they knew about his use of Chi to fortify his body. That he had a massive amount of it. Only if they knew he had trained in the basics and stances of martial arts and swordsmanship as a beginner. Only if they knew all that, they wouldn't be surprised about him at all.

Ju Feng's group continued searching the dominion for some time before coming to a place of molten fire. There were many charred bodies of scavens on the floor which indicated a great battle had been fought there. On the molten fire, they could see a springster. Which meant that a circle of Springflame was still there. And with the circle, would come a guardian.

Was that as a result of a peak guardian?

The Jindan cultivator, quickly used the communication stone to contact the other groups. But, it was at this time that another group also communicated to have seen another springster. The golden core dual cultivator had quickly made a decision for each group to face a circle. If they could successfully get the treasures of the two circles, they and their village would have a great future.

Ju Feng's group slowly approached the large circle of molten fire. When they got near the lake of liquid fire, it came alive. Tens of massive fire snakes came out of the shallow lake and a battle ensued with the cultivators. The lake kept on producing more fire snakes. There was no way they could stop them without getting the springster first.

Heavens tears! How could a shallow lake produced such monsters.

Seeing ripples of fire already forming around the springster which meant it was about to sink, the golden core leader of the group quickly sent out a mindvoice to all of them.

”Keep them back. We'll get the springster.”

He wheeled around and pointed at Jufeng and one other cultivator.

”You, and you, with me.”

After affirmation, the three of them sped like lightning towards the springster. The other cultivators provided cover for them as they battled the fire snakes out of their way. The springster was the key to the fire snakes. Once the springster had been acquired, the fire snakes would cease to exist and the guardian beast would emerge. That was when the true test would surface.

Ju Feng hoped his dragon hide robe and talisman would still hold up against the incoming attacks as much as possible. He would have to fight, just as it was intended. Though, the body cultivators would engage the fire guardians and they would be supported by the soul cultivators.

It was a situation where water and ice cultivators would prove more useful. For him, he would have to make do with what he got. Nowhere to hide inside the Springflame, especially, not there in the open plain of molten fire. He continued pushing as much Chi as possible into his body, fortifying it more as they continued speeding in the direction of the springster.

”We'll only have a period of a second. Once I jumped to freeze the lake, you must grab the springster before it sink into the fire.”

The leader of the group said pointing at Ju Feng. Then, he turned to the other cultivator.

”You, cut off the one retreating fire snake before it touches the springster. The frozen seal can only hold for a second before I run out of energy. The two of you must make it count. Okay? Now, on me.”

The golden core cultivator made a hand seal before leaping into the air, high above the flaming lake of fire.
