Chapter 1: Teammates Sacrifice to Heaven
Star Dou Forest, outskirts.
Among the dense woods.
"Roar!!" A deafening roar resounded through the sky, and in front of everyone appeared a lion-like Spirit beast with a length of nearly three meters and a shoulder height of more than one meter.
The unique mane of a lion spread out, and the fiery red hair looked even more majestic under the illumination of the flames around its body.
His muscles were clearly defined, and his brown eyes exuded a cool aura.
This is a Fire Lion King that has been cultivating for five hundred years, but the current condition of this Fire Lion King is not good.
The Fire Lion King's nose was broken by the huge force, his tail was cut off, and a hideous wound ran from his left rib to his abdomen. Blood flowed out of the wound, wetting the ground.
There are four Spirit Masters surrounding the Fire Lion King, ready for battle.
At this moment, the flames rising from the Fire Lion King's body suddenly condensed, and then turned into a flame light exactly the same as its body, rushing towards the tall and strong man holding an iron shield who was in the front of the four people.
The Fire Lion King's innate skill, Flame Clone Attack.
The tall and strong man holding a shield had two Spirit Rings, one white and one yellow, flashing on his body. An ochre-colored light and shadow condensed on the shield. In a breath, the shield collided with the flame clone of the Fire Lion King. The flames dissipated, and the shield of the man holding the shield turned red. The whole person was repelled by the impact of the flame explosion.
Just when the Fire Lion King wanted to break through.
A young boy holding a black Sword, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, delicate features, extraordinary handsomeness, and more than seven feet tall.
Taking advantage of the gap when the Fire Lion King released his Spirit skills, a bright light flashed on the blade, but no Spirit Ring lit up. It was obvious that this boy's control over his Spirit had reached an extremely high level.
He stabbed the Fire Lion King in the abdomen with a Sword. Then his figure flashed and teleported three meters away.
As soon as the boy retreated, flames burst out from the Fire Lion King's body.
Obviously, if the boy retreated too slowly, I'm afraid...
However, the Fire Lion King's injuries were even more serious and were already in critical condition. The boy's Sword, which had penetrated deep into his abdomen, had caused serious damage to the Fire Lion King's internal organs. Internal bleeding would soon take the Fire Lion King's life.
Just when the Fire Lion King was at his wit's end and wanted to rush forward to fight to the death with several humans.
A yellow Spirit Ring lit up on a middle-aged man, and vines entangled him, temporarily restraining the Fire Lion King...
Soon, with the cooperation of the three people, the body of the Fire Lion King fell to the ground.
Four people slowly stepped forward, and the last one, a male Spirit Master in his twenties with an ordinary appearance, said, "Okay, you will protect me, and when I absorb all the Spirit Rings, I will give your team the balance."
After saying this, the ordinary-looking man who was suspected to be the employer ended the life of the Fire Lion King. A circle of yellow Spirit Rings slowly condensed from the body of the Fire Lion King.
The man took out a cushion from a lowest-level bracelet-style storage Spirit guide, and then began to absorb the Spirit Ring of the Fire Lion King.
While the employer was absorbing the Spirit Ring, the other three people were doing nothing and were surrounding the employer.
Among them, the tall man whose Spirit was a shield looked at the body of the Fire Lion King and prepared to peel off its fur.
Because the fur of the Fire Lion King is covered in flames all year round and can subtly dispel moisture, it has always been sought after by nobles and is very valuable.
Just as the tall and strong man pulled the body of the Fire Lion King away from his employer to skin it, something strange happened. The man saw a gorgeous red light flashing from under the peeled fur.
The big man swallowed involuntarily.
Soon the big man calmed down, covered himself with fur, and then turned the body of the Fire Lion King around to hide the light.
Then he said to his two teammates, "Li Si, Chen Feng, you two came here to help, but you only know how to be lazy, right? Come and help me peel the skin. If you don't come, you two won't take the gold Spirit coins from selling the skin."
The middle-aged man who had just used vines to restrain the Fire Lion King said, "Damn it, Zhang San, don't think you can eat alone. We'll come over right away."
Chen Feng frowned his handsome eyebrows, always feeling something was wrong when looking at Zhang San. You know, in the past, Zhang San always rushed to skin the Spirit beasts and then secretly kept some Spirit beast parts.
As soon as Chen Feng was puzzled, his attention was immediately focused a lot, and then he slowly walked towards Zhang San.
Zhang San looked at Li Si walking towards him quickly, while Chen Feng walked slowly, and suddenly became a little anxious.
Zhang San is the only Spirit Master in the team, with a Spirit power of level thirty-two. However, his Strength is at the bottom among the Spirit Masters. He has one white and two yellow Spirit Rings, and the quality of his Spirit is average. He can't even beat those great Spirit Masters with powerful Spirits and the best Spirit Ring ratios.
Zhang San was extremely anxious. Among the three-person team, the one he feared the most was Chen Feng, who had just broken through to the Great Spirit Master level not long ago. He was less than twelve years old, but his Spirit power had reached level twenty-three. His Spirit Rings were also in the best ratio and his Strength was terrifyingly strong. Chen Feng accounted for half of the credit for the heavy damage to the Fire Lion King, which made him, who was almost thirty years old and had just broken through to the Spirit Master level, envious and jealous.
Another teammate, Li Si, whose Spirit is vines, is even less talented than him. Even at his old age, his Spirit power is still stuck at level twenty-nine and he cannot move.
Soon Li Si came in front of Zhang San, took out a knife and started skinning.
Zhang San just moved the position of the Fire Lion King, and Li Si cannot see the light of the Spirit bone for the time being.
But as the skinning continues, Li Si will find out sooner or later.
At this time, Chen Feng was still walking slowly.
Zhang San was extremely anxious and said quickly, "Chen Feng, come and help quickly."
Chen Feng's heart tightened, and he looked at Zhang San who was urging him to hurry over, thinking, "What the hell is Zhang San up to... If Zhang San doesn't behave properly later, I'll just chop him up with a Sword."
Chen Feng was on guard, but with a smile on his face he said, "I'll be right over."
Zhang San looked at Li Si who was getting closer and closer to the Spirit bone, then looked at Chen Feng who was about to reach his attack range, and swallowed excitedly.
I will take advantage of Li Si and Chen Feng's carelessness and launch a surprise attack to kill them. Then I will kill the employer who has absorbed the Spirit Ring without any resistance. Then the Spirit bone will be mine...
Closer! Closer!!!
At this time, Li Si, who was peeling the skin, suddenly saw a flash of red light, "This is!!!"
Zhang San immediately possessed his Spirit, his second Spirit skill was the power of the earth, and his third Spirit skill was the armor shock!!!
Zhang San suddenly attacked, two yellow Spirit Rings on his body lit up, Zhang San picked up the iron shield and smashed it on the ground.
A terrible shock wave spread out five meters around along with the iron shield. The unsuspecting Li Si was immediately shattered in the lungs by the terrible shock wave, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Li Si looked at the strange bone shining brightly under the fur and uttered the last two words, "Spirit bone!!"
Then Li Si felt a sharp pain in his body. He stared at Zhang San, whose face was greedy and ferocious, with his eyes tightly closed. The world fell into darkness...
Chen Feng was on guard at all times. When Zhang San released his Spirit skill, he took a step back and narrowly avoided it.
At this time, Zhang San looked at his employer who was immersed in absorbing the Spirit Ring. He tightly grasped the armor shield and smashed it hard on his neck. The employer suddenly died.
Zhang San looked with bloodshot eyes at Chen Feng, who was born in a common family but was handsome, young, and extremely talented, and even had the best Spirit Ring ratio. He immediately said maliciously: "Chen Feng, a genius like you deserves to die."
Chen Feng's face was as calm as water. "Why are you talking so high-soundingly? Don't you just want to take the Spirit bone for yourself and kill people to silence them? Then let's fight. The winner gets everything."
A sharp aura suddenly emerged from Chen Feng, and that sharp light made Zhang San feel like a thorn in his side.
Chen Feng rushed forward in one step, and a bright light flashed on the black Sword. This was Chen Feng's first Spirit skill, sharpening the Sword. When using this Spirit skill, Chen Feng's attack power increased by fifty percent, and the sharpness of his Spirit's Soul-Breaking Sword increased by fifty percent.
After saying that, Chen Feng rushed towards Zhang San.
Zhang San looked at Chen Feng's Soul-Breaking Sword with fear. He thought he had thick skin and flesh, but he didn't think his body could be thicker than that of the Fire Lion King. Even the Fire Lion King had a big hole in it from his Sword. He didn't want to try it, and Chen Feng's second Spirit skill was teleportation, which was even more dangerous.
Zhang San remembered that Chen Feng once said that his second Spirit skill could not be used continuously. He needed to wait for five minutes between each use before he could continue using it, and it consumed a lot of Spirit power.
Zhang San tightly grasped the armor shield, thinking that as long as he could block Chen Feng's first round of teleportation attack, relying on his Spirit Master-level Spirit power, he could steadily compete with Chen Feng in consumption, and when Chen Feng's Spirit power was exhausted, he would have no choice but to let him slaughter him.
Soon, the Sword and the shield collided with each other, and the clanging sound was endless. Soon the two men fought for dozens of rounds.
Chen Feng's Soul-Breaking Sword was extremely sharp. He swung it open and closed with great force, leaving many notches on Zhang San's armored shield. The Spirit Master's Spirit is closely related to the Spirit Master. Zhang San felt that each blow was like a cut on his body, causing him great pain. Even his head felt like it was pricking him with pain.
Zhang San thought, "Chen Feng is such a weird guy. Every strike seems to be attacking my Spirit. Damn it! We can't delay any longer."
Zhang San shouted, "Chen Feng, die! Armor shakes!!!"
Chen Feng saw the iron shield emitting golden light when it collided with his Soul-Breaking Sword, and a terrible shock swept over it.
Chen Feng knew that although he had strong attack power, his Defence was weak, and he could not withstand the third Spirit skill of Zhang San, the Spirit Master of the Crane Tail, in a head-on confrontation.
He immediately retreated, but how could Chen Feng's retreating speed be faster than the shock? He was caught up by the shock after retreating only two meters. Seeing that he was about to be hit by Zhang San's armor, he quickly used his second Spirit skill to teleport away three meters.
Zhang San said: "Hahaha, Chen Feng, you are dead. Without teleportation, I want to see how you can avoid my power of the earth."
An ochre-colored light flashed and blasted towards Chen Feng. This power of the earth can be used for both offense and Defence. It can be used to attack or to strengthen Defence. It can be said to be extremely useful.
Chen Feng took a step forward, and the next moment, Zhang San was stunned, looking at the long Sword that pierced his chest from behind, his face full of disbelief.
Zhang San murmured: "Why can you still teleport..."
Chen Feng's face turned pale. He clenched the Soul-Breaking Sword in his hand and swung it violently, crushing Zhang San's heart.
"How could I tell you all the effects of my Spirit skills without leaving any information? You don't have a chance in this life. Remember to use your brain more in your next life."
When Zhang San heard these murderous words, he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and died.
