Chapter 758: Bronze Roasted Wolf! (1/2)

With Lin Mu's call, a strong gust of energy emanated from Little Shrubby's body. The vortex of fire that had been made by him running in a circle started to rise up like a water spout in the ocean.

~GRRR~

The Bronze Tribe Wolf was certainly anxious and knew that he was not in a good situation. All this time, he had thought that while he had come across some tough prey, it didn't occur to him just how tough.

But now that he had realized it, the time had passed, and it was too late.

~CLANG~

The Bronze Tribe Wolf swatted at Lin Mu in anger and Lin Mu blocked it directly. The brown armor of the mortal strengthening scripture appeared on his arms, absorbing the damage easily without cracking.

Lin Mu had borne the full brunt of a variant tribulation lighting twice before, thus this physical attack was still easy for him to bear. But this time, Lin Mu did not resist and held his ground.

Rather, he let himself be knocked away. The Wolf felt pleased that he had finally managed to hit Lin Mu and was happy at seeing him get injured. Lin Mu was flying towards the ground at a very fast speed and if he slammed into it, he would probably get quite injured.

Unfortunately, what the Bronze Tribe wolf was expecting didn't happen. Instead, Lin Mu sank into the ground as if it was water and the entire time he had a smile on his face. And just as he disappeared into the ground, a large explosion happened.

~KABOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!~

Red flames swirled into a pillar that pierced the sky. The night sky was lit up and now it looked like it was the time for sunset instead. The heat of the flames ignited the trees that were further away from it.

Already a lot of trees had been burned by Little Shrubby, and now more of them were burning. This further fueled the pillar of spinning fire and increased its power. This was exactly the wood fueling the flames, according to the strengthening of the elements.

While Lin Mu and Littler Shrubby could not use wood attribute spirit Qi as of now, they used a different method of powering up the fire. They used the naturally present wood elemental spirit Qi in the plants and trees and let Little Shrubby's fire burn them.

The synergistic reaction caused due to this was the main reason behind the current situation. Lin Mu had picked the right moment to escape as the flames were something that would injure even himself.

The temperature of the flames had already reached the level of the magma that was present in the mouth of the volcano that Lin Mu and Little Shrubby had reached. It was enough to decimate his Mortal strengthening scripture's defenses in just a couple of seconds.

But while Lin Mu had escaped into the ground, he didn't stop there. He continued to get further and further away, as even the soil was heating up at a rapid pace.

~woong~woong~woong~

The flame vortex continued to spin and burn for about a minute as Little Shrubby kept on running. The flames were made by him, thus it was harmless for him. And even if they were not, he still had a high enough resistance to fire anyway.

~Shua~

A mass shot out of the flame vortex after a minute, looking like a meteor descending from the sky.

~THUD~

~CRASH~

Several trees were destroyed in its descent and a deep gully was carved into the ground. Of course, more fires were caused by it and even the ground was scorched. Lin Mu blinked out from the ground and went to check.

”Little Shrubby, are you okay?” Lin Mu asked.

The meteor that had just crashed was none other than Little Shrubby.

~puff~

The flames went out and Little Shrubby jumped out of the crater that he had just made.

~huff~huff~huff~

He was panting, but seems to be doing fine.

”I'm good…” he replied.

Lin Mu still probed him and saw that over eighty percent of his spirit Qi had been consumed.

'Hmm… that's understandable. He just managed to greatly damage if not kill a Dao Shell realm beast.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

He looked back to the flame vortex and saw that it was still raging on. The spinning of the vortex sucked more air towards itself, which further fueled it. This also created a low pressure area, further pulling in more air.

The flame vortex continued for about five minutes, after which it finally faded away. The initial spirit Qi that Little shrubby had used for it had been used and just the infusion of air was no longer enough for it to continue to burn.

The trees around it had also been reduced to cinders a long time ago and thus there was no fuel for it anyways.

~shua~

The heat waves finally stopped and Lin Mu and Little shrubby took a closer look. Previously they could not do so as even their spirit senses were being stopped. Lin Mu's was being stopped due to the volatile burning Qi in the air, while Little Shrubby's was being pushed away due to the spinning of the vortex.

~thud~ thud~

The two of them landed at the edge of the now dissipated vortex and saw its aftermath. There was molten soil and rocks present there now. It looked like a pool of lava that Lin Mu had seen at the volcano, except it was far less bright.

Lin Mu's spirit sense once again rose from his body and checked the area for the signs of the Bronze Tribe wolf.
