Chapter 1046 Fight I (2/2)
The fire that ripped through the sky looked as if it could bring the entire world down.
The atmosphere was burning fiercely, and seemed like even gold could be melted within a few seconds of entry there.
Fortunately, Han Sen had maxed out his fire geno points and practiced Phoenix Flame. If he had not, he would have been cooked alive for just poking his head above water.
Suddenly, Han Sen heard a raven unleash a screech. One of the orbs came hurtling down like a meteorite, crashing into a nearby mountain. Following its descent, the mountain started to crumble and cave in on itself, half-burying the fiery bird-beast.
The bird king's body was crushed by the rubble, as lava streamed out of it like a substitute for blood.
When Han Sen squinted to get a better look of the king, he noticed it was missing a wing. It looked as if it had been ripped off. There was also a deep gash right across its throat.
The bird king was still alive, but it could not get up. It let out the occasional dying screech, but that was all it could do.
Han Sen thought to himself, ”That's a super creature. Should I finish it off?”
The temptation was difficult to resist. He knew doing such a thing was reckless, as the tornado of fire was still continuing to tear up the encompassing landscape. He didn't even know if he could withstand a lick of those flames.
The other three bird kings were raging even harder now, too, to pick up the slack left by their fallen companion. The fires lashed the sky even harder, picking up trees and rocks, throwing whatever they could all about.
As the bird died and the flames subsided, the lava that was its blood began to solidify.
”YOLO!” Han Sen placed Bao'er in the water and ran out of the lake. He dashed and danced between the raging fires to reach the dying bird king.
Han Sen had Aero to aid his evasions, but that was about it. He was still too weak to use it for fighting, and he didn't have a bow to shoot it from the safety of the lake, either.
Han Sen just had to get in close and deliver a firm slash with his Phoenix Sword.
As he raced through the blazing fields, he felt as if he had taken a dip in a pool of lava. He activated Phoenix Flame for increased resistance, but the atmosphere around was still blisteringly hot.
”This is frightening, to be honest. If anyone else took a step out here, they'd be burnt to a crisp,” Han Sen thought, as he made his way to the fallen bird.
The fact that there had been four of the birds made the fire so terrifying. Had there been only one, Han Sen thought he might have stood a chance of taking it down.
He possessed Phoenix Flame and maxed out fire genes, and for now, it was enough to keep him safe as he sprinted towards the dying bird king.
