âWhatâs going on!â
Qian Ran and the others were shocked. They did not know what was happening.
The cauldron was shaking more and more violently. It was slowly rising as if something was lifting it up from the ground. The few of them widened their eyes and saw a black corner on the ground.
âLook, what⦠What is that? !â
One of them said in shock. Qian Ran looked in the direction he was pointing at. The black patterns were scattered all over the place, and they looked like mountains and rivers, exuding a mysterious and ancient aura. It gave people an invisible pressure.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Someone said uncertainly, âIt seems to be a turtle shell?â
Everyoneâs eyes widened. The thing in front of them was different from the turtle shell they usually saw. Qian Ran could not help but cry out, âEven a ninth grade Black Iron Turtleâs shell is not this thick and heavy. What the hell is it?â
A small head popped out, and its bean-sized eyes stared coldly at everyone. Who else other than Little Black could it be?
Its eyes revealed a human-like disdain, as if everyone in front of it was nothing more than an ant. It made peopleâs scalps go numb.
After they saw clearly the creature in front of them, their expressions became even more surprised. âItâs really a turtle!â However, such a turtle was simply beyond common sense. It carried the cauldron and slowly rose up. Its body was clearly one circle smaller than the cauldron, however, it still carried the cauldron effortlessly.
It was as if there was no weight on its back. All that was on there was a small flower. Lin Bai stood by the side and looked at Qian Ran and the others with a half-smile.
âBoom!â
Little Black suddenly exerted force upward, and the cauldron immediately fell to the side and smashed into the ground. If Qian Ran and the others had not dodged in time, they would have had their feet smashed by now.
Lin Bai patted the dust off his body and said mockingly, âIs that all you have?â
The damage was not great, but it was extremely insulting.
The others looked at each other and looked at Lin Baiâs indifferent face. For some reason, they started to cower. They could not help but pull on Qian Ranâs sleeve and said, âSenior brother Qian, letâs forget about it. This person looks very strange.â
Qian Ran suddenly broke free. âThere are a few of us. Donât tell me that we are afraid of him when heâs alone. If this gets out, how will the people in the Alchemist Association see us? Where will we our face be?â
This reason seemed to be right. The few of them did not say anything more. They gritted their teeth and said, âLetâs do it together! I donât believe that no matter how powerful he is, he can fight against three people at once!â
Qian Ran moved his hands and the original cauldron floated in mid-air once again. The inside of the cauldron was boiling and emitting a lot of hot air. A huge bubble emerged from the top of the cauldron. It looked a little scary as it turned out to be lava!
Even the air became distorted due to the high temperature. The lava this time was much more powerful than the fire dragon from before. The flames soared into the sky and made Qian Ranâs face turn red.
âIâll stew you and your turtle together and make a great tonic soup! I donât believe you can endure such a high temperature!â
The rolling lava surged over. The others didnât expect Qian Ran to have such a trick either. They exclaimed one after another, âSenior brother Qian, where did you get this lava from? It looks so powerful.â
âI found it when I was out on an experiential training. I found that this magma is extremely extraordinary, and it has a lot of spiritual energy. It can be used as a fire started or added to the refining process. It just so happens that I have a handy tool in my hand, so I collected it.â
The magma rolled over. Initially, they thought that Lin Bai would escape again this time. However, a red light shone, and golden tail feathers drew a beautiful arc in the air. The one that appeared in front of Qian Ran was an incomparably huge Scarlet Luan bird.
The Scarlet Luan sucked fiercely and all the lava was actually sucked into its stomach. The color of its fur became even brighter as if it had been tempered by something.
It licked its lips in a human-like manner. It looked as if it still wanted more. It flapped its wings and cried out, as if it was saying, âMore.â.
Qian Ran looked at the cauldron. There was not a single drop of lava left. His gaze was almost bleeding. âWhy is there no more! Damn you, stinky bird!â
Lin Bai was still adding fuel to the fire. He said sincerely, âThank you for the lava. My pet is very satisfied.â
It gave people the feeling that it was an attack that he was proud of. In Lin Baiâs eyes, it was just a small snack for his pet. Qian Ran rolled his eyes and almost fainted.
The worrisome thing was still to come.
âLittle Black, itâs your turn!â
A black shadow flashed across the sky. Before they could react, Little Blackâs turtle shell had already collided with the cauldron.
âBang!â
The dull sound nearly ruptured everyoneâs eardrums. The thick turtle shell collided with the cauldron, forming a huge pattern that quickly spread out like a spider web.
Everyone was dumbfounded. Everything happened in a flash, and Qian Ranâs cauldron shattered into countless small pieces.
âMy cauldron!â
Qian Ran cried out in pain and spat out a large mouthful of blood at the same time. This cauldron was his natal magic artifact. Now that the cauldron was destroyed, his body had also been affected to a certain extent. It could be said that his vitality had been greatly damaged. He would definitely not be able to recover until at least ten days to half a month.
âVery good. I will remember you.â
Qian Ran glared fiercely at Lin Bai as if he was looking at his enemy again. However, Lin Bai shrugged indifferently. âThere are many people who remember me. I donât mind an extra one.â
Qian Ran spat out another mouthful of blood, but this time, he was angry.
âLetâs go!â
After he said that, he turned around and left with the help of the others.
When Fool Li saw this scene, he jumped out happily from the side. âThatâs great! Eldest senior brother has chased away the bad guys.â
Lin Bai turned his head around. His expression was thoughtful. Although Little Blackâs defense was extremely high, its current attack was not enough to completely shatter Qian Ranâs cauldron.
Qian Ranâs cauldron should have been affected by some kind of external force before, which was why it was so easily broken by Little Black.
His gaze fell on fool Li. When he was trapped, if he remembered correctly, Fool Li had used all his strength to smash the cauldron, as if he wanted to save him.
Both of Fool Liâs hands were red and swollen. Lin Bai felt that his idea was a little ridiculous. âHow could it be caused by you? I must be thinking too muchâ¦â
It must have been an accident, which was why there was a hidden flaw. If Fool Li really had such ability, how could he be bullied so miserably.
âNo matter what, I have to thank you.â Lin Bai paused and added, âAnd that bottle of pills of yours has been a great help to me.â
Fool Li tilted his head as if he didnât understand what he was saying.
âForget it, you wonât understand even if I tell you this.â
Fool Li clapped his hands and started to go crazy again. He kept shouting, âEldest senior brother!â
âWait! Why did you call me eldest senior brother?â
Fool Li turned a deaf ear to him. He shouted as he ran and disappeared without a trace again.
